13: The flowers have come to life!

An hour passed.

Everyone finally entered the forest.

Along the way, they swept through hundreds of demonic beasts. Those beasts were in groups, but their strength was weak; not a single one was a Third-Tier Demonic Beast.

However, the Demon Slaying Army also suffered casualties, and many soldiers were carrying injuries.

Fang Bai and the others looked somewhat exhausted. Furthermore, apart from A Xiu, the eyes of the others were clouded with gloom.

They had witnessed living people being torn apart by demonic beasts and swallowed into their bellies.

That scene was simply too tragic!

"I suddenly feel that the villa is the safest place."

The smiling expression on Qi Tian's face vanished, and he said in a somewhat low voice.

Fang Bai said indifferently, "We will experience this sooner or later, so only by becoming strong can we survive in this chaotic world."

Qi Tian nodded. Suddenly thinking of something, he looked at Fang Bai, "Old Bai, why do I feel like your strength has increased again? Are you a monster?"

Fang Bai's mouth twitched, "You're the monster! This Young Master is a martial arts genius! The Alien Energy here is dense, and after killing demonic beasts, one can dig out demon crystals to cultivate, which is why I'm improving so quickly."

He was actually quite smug because, as it seemed now, the gap between him and the others was getting smaller and smaller.

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

And so far, he had already killed eight demonic beasts!

The eighth demonic beast was killed by Fang Bai relying solely on his own strength!

In other words, he now possessed the strength to solo a demonic beast of the same level!

Two more, and he would complete the mission!

Finally, he wouldn't have to die!

Director Liu had separated from them halfway through, and no one knew where he had gone, which left Fang Bai and the others feeling insecure.

"Stay alert, everyone. Next, we may encounter a Third-Tier Demonic Beast!"

Qi Zhen's voice rang out.

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

After passing through a patch of woods, they were stunned by the scene before them.

"Damn! So many spirit plants!"

Before them was a flat area, and on that flat ground, more than a dozen spirit plants were growing.

These spirit plants were the so-called treasures of heaven and earth in the Alien Space, and their effects were of great help to a martial artist's cultivation.

A look of fervor appeared in Qi Zhen's eyes.

Fan Gang said excitedly, "Captain, this is clearly an unexploited treasure trove!"

The appearance of an Alien Space was a good thing for humanity; the first person to occupy an Alien Space had a huge chance of getting rich!

Although Qi Zhen was excited, he didn't let his guard down and said, "Groups of three, take turns keeping watch, and try to harvest these spirit plants quickly!"

As his words fell, the others moved into action.

The four of them, Fang Bai's group, huddled together and cautiously crept forward.

"That's a Fire Seed Flower! Eating it can increase Fire-attribute Alien Energy."

Qi Tian said, pointing to a bright red flower.

Fang Bai glanced at him and asked suspiciously, "You sure know a lot."

Qi Tian said smugly, "Of course, my family is in this line of business."

"But none of us have Fire-attribute."

Fang Bai said decisively, "Pick it! If we can't use it, can't we sell it for money?"

He reached out to grab the Fire Seed Flower.

Just then, a green afterimage darted out from the nearby grass and attacked him!

It was actually a python the size of an arm!

Swish!

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

Fang Bai curled his lips, "A beast is a beast. Do you really think you can fool This Young Master?"

How could there be no ambush for such a treasure? Do you really think your Buddy is a fake transmigrator?

Qi Tian gave a thumbs up, "666, it's still you!"

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

The others had no objections.

The others were also attacked by demonic beasts, but they were already on guard, so they easily dealt with them.

Soon, everyone had picked all the spirit plants.

Fang Bai and his group had successfully picked six spirit plants.

"These are worth over six hundred thousand!"

Qi Tian exclaimed with a tsk.

Fang Bai hadn't expected money to be so easy to earn. If he were back 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 life-threatening danger.

Everyone set off again. This time, their goal was to pick spirit plants; after all, this place hadn't been explored, and it was full of treasures.

"These are ownerless items and aren't worth much. Truly precious spirit plants will all be guarded by demonic beasts."

Qi Tian said to the group.

Fang Bai smacked his lips and said, "Do you think it's possible for us to act alone? To go and pick spirit plants?"

Qi Tian looked at him in shock, "Are you crazy?! It's so dangerous here! Without the protection of the Demon Slaying Army, wouldn't we be walking ingredients if we went out?"

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

Qi Tian was still a bit hesitant.

Fang Bai patted his shoulder and said sincerely, "Old Qi, you don't want to be seen as a playboy in others' eyes, right?"

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

Fang Bai asked for A Xiu and Xiao Yuan's opinions, and they also agreed.

After a day of fighting side by side, the four of them had meshed well and possessed a hint of tacit understanding.

Fang Bai found Qi Zhen and explained their decision to him.

Qi Zhen was somewhat 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 own ways; we'll be careful."

Qi Zhen thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Fine, since you've decided, then as you wish."

Fang Bai, Qi Tian, and the others separated from Qi Zhen and his group.

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

"Captain Qi, are we really letting them do as they please?"

Fan Gang walked over and asked.

Qi Zhen said indifferently, "They aren't part of the Demon Slaying Army. Life and death are fated; it's not our place to manage them."

On the contrary, bringing them along would only disrupt their rhythm.

"Forget it, someone else will worry about them. Let's hurry up and survey this place, then rendezvous with the reinforcements to establish a base!"

"Understood!"

...

On the other side.

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

"Old Bai, which way are we going?"

Qi Tian asked suspiciously.

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

Qi Tian's face stiffened, "You don't know? Then why were you so confident about going solo?"

Fang Bai chuckled, "It doesn't matter where we go anyway. Let's find a group of demonic beasts to kill first."

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

The four of them stopped.

"What is it, A Xiu?"

Fang Bai asked curiously.

A Xiu narrowed her eyes and then said, "We are surrounded."

"Huh?"

Qi Tian was startled and immediately looked around. Aside from large, strange flowers, there was nothing else.

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes. He looked at those flowers and then said in a deep voice, "That's right! These flowers are closing in on us!"

They were originally four or five meters away from those flowers, but now it was only a little over two meters!

"Watch out!"

Fang Bai shouted.

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

"Damn! Man-eating Flowers?!"

Everyone scrambled to the side.

Fang Bai licked his lips, then wielded his blade and took the initiative to meet them!

"So reckless?"

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

A Xiu used teleportation and suddenly appeared above a Man-eating Flower, cutting off its stem with one strike!

Bright red blood actually oozed from the stem!

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

Fortunately, their individual strength was weak; they hadn't even reached the First-Tier, just ordinary demonic beasts.

The four of them spent some effort and solved them.

"Amitabha, I'm actually very protective of flowers and grass."

Qi Tian complained.

Fang Bai curled his lips, "You won't feel that way once you're inside their bellies."

He glanced around and said, "Let's leave here 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 huge black shadow emerged from the ground.

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

Sensing the aura on it, Fang Bai and the others' expressions turned serious.

"Second-Tier!"

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

"Damn it! The flowers have become sentient! Is this the terror of the Alien Space?"

Fang Bai poked Qi Tian and said, "It probably sensed your loving heart and came specifically for you."

Qi Tian's face was covered in black lines, "Oh, cut it out!"
