Flowers Have All Become Spirits!

Another hour passed.

Everyone finally entered the forest.

Along the way, they had swept through hundreds of Demonic Beasts. These beasts were in groups and not very strong; there wasn't even a single Third Order among them.

However, the Monster Slaying Army also suffered casualties, with many soldiers sustaining injuries.

Fang Bai and the others looked somewhat weary. Besides A Xiu, a shadow had fallen over the eyes of the other three.

They had personally watched living people being torn apart and swallowed by Demonic Beasts.

The scene was truly brutal!

"I suddenly feel like the villa was the safest place," Qi Tian said, his usual cheerful expression gone, his voice low.

Fang Bai said calmly, "We'll have to face this sooner or later. Only by becoming stronger can we survive in this chaotic world."

Qi Tian nodded, then suddenly thought of something. He looked at Fang Bai, "Old Bai, I feel like your strength has increased again. You're not some kind of monster, are you?"

Fang Bai's mouth twitched. "You're the monster! I'm a martial arts prodigy! The Exotic Energy here is abundant, and we can cultivate by extracting Monster Cores after killing Demonic Beasts, which is why I'm getting stronger so quickly."

He was actually a little proud. So far, the gap between him and the others was shrinking.

As long as he kept killing, his level would soar!

And up to this point, he had already killed eight Demonic Beasts!

The eighth Demonic Beast was killed by Fang Bai through his own strength!

This meant he now possessed the strength to kill Demonic Beasts of the same level solo!

Just two more, and he would complete the mission!

Finally, he wouldn't have to die!

Director Liu had separated from them midway. They didn't know where he had gone, which made Fang Bai and the others feel a lack of security.

"Everyone, stay alert. From now on, we might encounter Third Order Demonic Beasts!" Qi Zhen's voice rang out.

Everyone became vigilant. Even though they were injured, there was no fear in their eyes.

After passing through a patch of forest, they were stunned by the sight before them.

"Holy crap! So many Spiritual Plants!"

Before them lay a clearing, and on it grew over a dozen Spiritual Plants.

These Spiritual Plants were what the 异空间 referred to as Natural Treasures. Their effects were greatly beneficial for the cultivation of Martial Artists.

Qi Zhen's eyes also showed a flicker of excitement.

Fan Gang exclaimed excitedly, "Captain, this is clearly an unplundered treasure trove!"

The appearance of the alien dimension was also a good thing for humanity. Whoever occupied it first had a huge potential to get rich!

Although Qi Zhen was excited, he didn't let down his guard. He said, "Form groups of three, maintain vigilance, and let's try to harvest these Spiritual Plants quickly!"

As he finished speaking, the others sprang into action.

Fang Bai and the other three stayed close together, cautiously moving forward.

"That's a Fire Seed Flower! Eating it can enhance fire-attribute Exotic Energy," Qi Tian pointed at a bright red flower.

Fang Bai glanced at him, "You seem to know quite a lot."

Qi Tian said proudly, "Of course. My family is in this business."

"But none of us are fire-attribute," Fang Bai stated decisively, "Pick it! If we can't use it, can't we sell it?"

He reached out to grab the Fire Seed Flower.

Just then, a green blur shot out from the nearby grass and attacked him!

It was a python the size of an arm!

But the next second, a flash of a blade lit up, and the python was cut in half!

Fang Bai's lips curved. "Beasts are just beasts. Did you really think I'd be fooled, you pathetic creature?"

How could such a treasure not have a trap? Did you think I was a fake transmigrator?

Qi Tian gave him a thumbs-up. "Awesome, as expected of you!"

Fang Bai directly picked the Fire Seed Flower and then said to the others, "Leave the Spiritual Plants with me for now. We'll distribute them after we get out."

No one had any objections.

The others also encountered attacks from Demonic Beasts, but they were already on guard and dealt with them easily.

Soon, everyone had harvested all the Spiritual Plants.

Fang Bai and the others successfully picked six Spiritual Plants.

"These are all worth over six hundred thousand!"

Qi Tian exclaimed with a click of his tongue.

Fang Bai also didn't expect money to be so easy to earn. If he were in the city, with a monthly salary of three thousand, how long would it take to earn six hundred thousand?

However, it also came with the danger of losing his life.

The group continued on their journey. This time, their goal was to pick Spiritual Plants. After all, this area hadn't been explored before, and it was filled with treasures.

"These are all unclaimed items and aren't worth much. The truly precious Spiritual Plants are guarded by Demonic Beasts," Qi Tian told the others.

Fang Bai smacked his lips and said, "Do you think we might be able to act alone? To pick Spiritual Plants?"

Qi Tian looked at him in shock. "Are you crazy?! It's so dangerous here! Without the Monster Slaying Army's protection, aren't we just walking ingredients out there?"

Fang Bai said seriously, "But this is a great opportunity to get rich! And if we just follow them, how will we ever get any training?"

Qi Tian was still hesitant.

Fang Bai patted his shoulder and said sincerely, "Old Qi, you don't want to be seen as a good-for-nothing, do you?"

Hearing this, Qi Tian gritted his teeth. "Let's do it!"

Fang Bai asked A Xiu and Xiao Yuan for their opinions, and they agreed.

After a day of fighting side-by-side, the four of them had developed some synergy and a sliver of unspoken understanding.

Fang Bai found Qi Zhen and explained their decision.

Qi Zhen was a little surprised. He looked at Fang Bai and said, "Are you sure? If you encounter a powerful Demonic Beast, you could die."

Fang Bai smiled. "We have our ways and will be careful."

Qi Zhen thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, since you've decided, then do as you please."

Fang Bai, Qi Tian, and the others parted ways with Qi Zhen and his group.

Qi Zhen watched the backs of the four as they left, lost in thought.

"Captain Qi, are you really going to let them run wild?" Fan Gang walked over and asked.

Qi Zhen said calmly, "They aren't part of the Monster Slaying Army. Their lives are their own, and we can't control them."

In fact, escorting them would only disrupt their own rhythm.

"Never mind them. Someone else will worry about them. Let's hurry up and scout this area, then rendezvous with the reinforcements and establish a base!"

"Understood!"

Meanwhile.

The four-person team passed through a sea of flowers.

"Old Bai, which way are we going?" Qi Tian asked doubtfully.

Fang Bai replied, "Good question. I don't know either."

Qi Tian's face stiffened. "You don't know? Then why did you confidently decide to go solo?"

Fang Bai chuckled. "It's all the same wherever we go. Let's find some Demonic Beasts to kill first."

A Xiu suddenly said, "Something's wrong."

The four of them stopped.

"What's wrong, A Xiu?" Fang Bai asked curiously.

A Xiu narrowed her eyes, then said, "We're surrounded."

"Huh?"

Qi Tian was startled, then quickly looked around. Besides the large, strange flowers, there was nothing else.

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes. He looked at the flowers and then said in a deep voice, "That's right! These flowers are getting closer to us!"

They were originally four or five meters away from the flowers, but now they were only a little over two meters away!

"Careful!" Fang Bai shouted.

At the same time, several flower buds suddenly split open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and lunged at them!

"Holy crap! Man-eating Flowers?!" Everyone quickly dodged to the side.

Fang Bai licked his lips, then held his blade and charged forward!

"Going in so recklessly?"

Qi Tian's expression changed. Before he could react, Xiao Yuan on the side also roared and rushed out!

A Xiu, meanwhile, used Teleportation, suddenly appearing above a Man-eating Flower and slicing its roots with a single strike!

Blood actually seeped from the severed roots!

These flowers were all Man-eating Flowers! Fang Bai and the others had stumbled into their territory by chance!

Fortunately, their individual strength wasn't great; they hadn't even reached First Order, just ordinary Demonic Beasts.

The four of them managed to deal with them after some effort.

"Amitabha, I actually cherish flowers and plants quite a bit."

Qi Tian quipped.

Fang Bai curled his lips. "You wouldn't think so if you ended up inside their bellies."

He glanced around and said, "Let's leave this place as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, an unexpected change occurred!

The ground in front of them suddenly cracked open, and then a massive dark shadow emerged from the earth.

It was a Man-eating Flower as huge as a sun umbrella!

Sensing the aura emanating from it, Fang Bai and the others grew serious.

"Second Order!"

If they weren't mistaken, this Man-eating Flower was the boss!

"Damn it! Even the flowers are becoming sentient! Is this the horror of another world?"

Fang Bai nudged Qi Tian. "It probably sensed your affection and came specifically for you."

Qi Tian's face darkened. "Get outta here with that!"
