The third stage of the task was rather perverse. It was far more difficult than the previous two stages combined. This Beast King Island was filled with Beast Kings. Imagine what it would be like if a group of Beast Kings appeared in front of you.
A single Beast King was a great threat to Mo Wen, let alone a group of Beast Kings. If he was surrounded by a group of Beast Kings, he would almost certainly die.
As long as the seven human ancient martial art practitioners could survive in this space for a day, they would have completed the task.
However, surviving in such an environment for a day was easier said than done. Even Mo Wen did not have much confidence.
Fortunately, this task was not too harsh. All the human ancient martial art practitioners who died on this Beast King Island would not be considered truly dead. They would be resurrected in the space outside. However, once they died on this island, it meant that they had withdrawn from the task.
The third stage did not require all the human ancient martial art practitioners to survive. As long as there was one person who could survive on the island for a day, the task would be considered completed. In other words, the success of the third stage would determine the success of the entire task. As long as one person could survive on Beast King Island for a day, the task would be completed.
This caused Mo Wen to heave a sigh of relief. If everyone had to survive on the island for a day, it would be impossible for someone like Bu Xingyi to do it.
Knowing that dying on this island would not mean true death, Mo Wen's emotions gradually calmed down. Since he had eliminated the possibility of danger, he just had to work hard to survive. If he tried his best, he would have a clear conscience.
Mo Wen slowly came back to his senses from his declarative memory. He looked around him. It was full of life. On the surface, it did not seem like there was any danger.
As long as he stayed on this island for a day, he would be able to complete the task. Mo Wen immediately did not have any thoughts of stirring up trouble. He was willing to find a secluded and safe corner to sit quietly for a day and wait for the task to end.
After all, this was Beast King Island. There were Beast Kings everywhere. He did not feel safe going anywhere.
Mo Wen landed on the ground. He looked around, preparing to find a corner to hide in. However, just as he had this thought, a sense of danger suddenly welled up in him without any warning.
He was shocked. Without thinking, he immediately unleashed the Glory of Wind. With a flash of light, he disappeared from his original spot.
A plant root silently appeared at the position where Mo Wen had just been. It curled around, but in the end, it missed its target.
Hiss hiss hiss!
A series of strange noises suddenly rang out from the surrounding bushes.
Ten meters away, Mo Wen's silhouette appeared. His pupils constricted slightly, and he suddenly looked in one direction.
Green plant vines emerged from the bushes. There were tens of thousands of them. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area was covered by the vines. The vines were entangled together like a bird's nest. However, they covered a radius of a hundred meters, trapping Mo Wen inside.
"Plant type demonic beast."
Mo Wen was shocked. Those vines were very rare plant type monstrous beasts. Plant type monstrous beasts were a very rare type of monstrous beast. This was because plant type monstrous beasts were very particular about their living environment, especially young plant type monstrous beasts. Their ability to survive was far weaker than animal type monstrous beasts.
He did not expect that he would encounter a plant-type demonic beast the moment he arrived at the Beast King Island.
The aura emitted by the vine was quite astonishing, comparable to that of a beast king.
"It's been a long time since I have eaten human flesh. Now that I think about it, it is an unforgettable delicacy."
A thick vine slowly rose from the ground. The vine was as thick as the mouth of a bowl and was no different from a small tree trunk. There was a human face on it. It was wrinkled and looked very strange.
The face seemed to be stuck to the vine. It looked at Mo Wen with a drooling expression, as though it wanted to immediately swallow Mo Wen into its mouth.
"You want to eat me?" Mo Wen asked.
"Of course I want to eat you. Haha, I don't know how many years it has been since I last saw a human. I originally thought that I would never be able to taste such delicious flesh and blood again in my lifetime."
The Vine Beast King chuckled. It was as though encountering Mo Wen was like encountering an absolute treasure.
"You want to eat me, but I won't let you."
Mo Wen smiled slightly. A beam of golden light suddenly appeared on his body. The next moment, he was like a golden sun, shining brightly. With him as the center, a scorching aura quickly spread outwards.
The vines that surrounded the area shrunk slightly, as though they were somewhat afraid of the flames on Mo Wen's body.
For plant type monstrous beasts, fire attribute and thunder attribute power were their nemesis.
"Such powerful flame power. It is actually not weaker than the fire attribute Beast Kings on the southern island. Your cultivation is not high, but you are able to grasp such high-level fire attribute power. It is somewhat strange."
The face that was carved on the vine contorted slightly. A pair of dark green eyes stared at Mo Wen with a solemn look in them.
Plant type monstrous beasts were indeed most afraid of fire attribute power. Normally, when encountering a fire attribute Beast King, plant type monstrous beasts would generally retreat. However, this human ancient martial art practitioner's cultivation was too low. It was not enough to make it fear him.
"You can't stop me."
Mo Wen left behind these words and disappeared from his original spot. He did not want to fight with such a Beast King. The entire island was filled with Beast Kings. If they attracted other Beast Kings, it would be terrible.
"You want to escape? In your dreams."
The Vine Beast King had finally encountered a delicious human. How could it let him escape now? Immediately, beams of green light emanated from the vines. They intertwined together, forming a huge green light shroud that completely sealed off the surrounding area.
"Humph, if I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?"
Mo Wen's silhouette appeared in front of a light shroud. With a cold snort, his right hand lit up with a crimson light. The Blood Clotting Claw appeared. With a swipe of his claw, he tore a large hole in the green light shroud. With a flash of his figure, he escaped.
The Vine Beast King had not expected that a human ancient martial art practitioner's attack would actually be so powerful. Even a Lord Monstrous Beast would not be able to escape once it was trapped, let alone a human. Since when were humans stronger than monstrous beasts of the same realm?
The large hole that Mo Wen had torn open was dyed with crimson flames. The crimson flames adhered to the vines, burning continuously like gangrene on the bones.
"Such a strange power."
The Vine Beast King was shocked. It circulated its demonic power, but it actually could not extinguish the crimson flames in a short period of time. With a flash of green light, the vines that were dyed with the crimson flames were all broken and fell to the ground. Having lost the power of the main body, the vines were instantly burned to ashes by the crimson flames.
"Humph, don't even think about escaping."
The Vine Beast King was incomparably furious. A human ancient martial art practitioner actually wanted to escape from its grasp. It was practically wishful thinking.
Right now, Mo Wen had already appeared a hundred meters away. With a flash of light, he had dashed far away.
Behind him, vines suddenly shot up into the sky. The vines instantly grew larger, like tree trunks, furiously chasing after Mo Wen from behind.
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth curled into a cold smile. A gentle breeze blew around him. The next moment, his silhouette disappeared from his original spot.
In just the blink of an eye, Mo Wen was already a hundred meters away. The vines could not catch up to him at all.
Once he unleashed the Glory of Wind, ordinary Beast Kings would not be able to catch up to him unless they were Beast Kings that specialized in speed.
"Preposterous … preposterous!"
Seeing that it could not catch up to Mo Wen, the Vine Beast King cried out in anger. It felt very indignant, but there was nothing it could do.
The Beast King Island was very big, but there were also many monstrous beasts.
Mo Wen had flown for less than ten kilometers before encountering more than ten Beast Kings. Some of the Beast Kings were especially powerful, giving Mo Wen quite a fright.
He had learned his lesson. Whenever he encountered a monstrous beast, he would not fight. Instead, he would turn and flee.
The Beast Kings they encountered came in all shapes and sizes. There were all kinds of beasts of all shapes and sizes. There were those that flew in the sky, those that ran on the ground, and those that swam in the water.
There was also a seemingly ordinary tree that was no different from an ordinary tree. However, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and almost swallowed Mo Wen.
Mo Wen finally understood that there was no safe haven on this Beast King Island. There was danger everywhere. The people who lived on this island had to be on high alert at all times. Otherwise, they would not even know how they died.
Mo Wen's expression was grave as he traversed the island. He did not know when he would encounter danger. He had to be constantly on edge. The difficulty of this task was undoubtedly rather high.
Rumble!
There was a loud sound in front of him. A strong wind swept through and a terrifying aura was moving towards Mo Wen at high speed.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. Another Beast King was approaching. The aura was undoubtedly that of a Beast King.
Huh!
Aside from the Beast King's aura, Mo Wen also discovered another aura. That aura was also flying in his direction. The Beast King seemed to be chasing after it.
A strange expression flashed across Mo Wen's face. He was somewhat familiar with that aura. He had only arrived on Beast King Island for a short while and he had already encountered it.
When the seven human ancient martial art practitioners were sent to Beast King Island, they were randomly sent to any place on the island. It was almost impossible for two people to appear in the same place at the same time. Hence, there was a high probability that even after the task was over, they would not encounter other human ancient martial art practitioners.
Mo Wen had not expected that he would encounter a human ancient martial art practitioner so quickly. The person was none other than the Ming Temple's Sect Grand Elder, Bu Xingyi.
A light flashed and a person emerged from the forest in front of him. The person was wearing a red robe embroidered with images of the sun, moon, and stars. It was Bu Xingyi.
Right now, Bu Xingyi was in a sorry state. His clothes were disheveled and tattered. His face was pale and there were many injuries on his body.
Behind him, there was a terrifying aura approaching at high speed. It was clearly a Beast King. Bu Xingyi was being chased by a Beast King.
"Mo Wen … save me!"
Bu Xingyi had just charged out of the dense forest and had not expected to encounter Mo Wen. A look of joy immediately appeared in his eyes.
Although his relationship with Mo Wen was tense, this was a major matter that concerned all human ancient martial art practitioners. It was impossible for Mo Wen not to help him. (To be continued.)
