Li Xuan watched as the Mutated Skeleton Ant crawled across the surface of the water with his mouth agape.
Luo Xuan quickly leaped across the lotus leaf, but the Buddha Heart Lotus's second volley of lotus seeds shot at him, leaving him no room to dodge.
Furthermore, even if he could dodge the second volley, his Primordial Energy wouldn't be able to sustain his constant usage of Primordial Energy Skills. If he fell into the lotus pond, he would still be doomed.
"Luo Xuan, land on that ant's back." Suddenly, Luo Xuan heard a voice coming from the shore.
Luo Xuan had no idea who was speaking, nor was he in the mood to care. He tried his best to dodge most of the blood-colored lotus seeds, but there was one that he couldn't avoid. All he could do was grit his teeth and block it with his sword.
He knew that his actions were meaningless. The blood-colored lotus seed would still explode when it struck the remnant sword, and he would still be corroded into a pool of blood. However, his survival instincts made him choose to do so.
Before the remnant sword struck the blood-colored lotus seed, Luo Xuan suddenly saw a blood-colored figure flash over his head. A gigantic and ferocious ant leaped over his head and slammed into the blood-colored lotus seed.
The blood-colored lotus seed exploded on the ant's head, drenching it. However, the ferocious-looking ant didn't seem to feel anything. It landed on the surface of the water and quickly moved its six claws before crawling towards Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan was alarmed, imagining that the ant was going to attack him. However, recalling the voice from before and connecting it to the ant's action of blocking the blood-colored lotus seed, he immediately came to a realization. With a tap of his foot on the lotus leaf, he jumped onto the Mutated Skeleton Ant's back.
The Mutated Skeleton Ant crawled across the surface of the water at a speed much faster than Luo Xuan's jumping. By the time the Buddha Heart Lotus launched its third volley, it had already charged out of the blood-colored lotus seed's attack range.
The Mutated Skeleton Ant rushed to the shore and stopped in front of Zhou Wen.
Luo Xuan jumped off the Mutated Skeleton Ant's back. No matter how dumb he was, he could tell that the Mutated Skeleton Ant was Zhou Wen's Companion Beast. The person who had warned him was likely Zhou Wen.
"My name is Luo Xuan. I'll definitely repay you for saving my life in the future. What's your name?" Luo Xuan asked.
"My name is Zhou Wen. He's Li Xuan. We're classmates, so there's no need to take it to heart," Zhou Wen said casually.
"Zhou Wen, I'll remember you." Luo Xuan sized up Zhou Wen's appearance seriously before turning to leave.
"This fellow is already in such a sorry state, but he still has that cocky look on his face. It really pisses me off." Li Xuan couldn't stand Luo Xuan.
However, in the blink of an eye, Li Xuan was delighted again. He chuckled and said, "Without the White-Winged Flying Horse, let's see how this fellow can act cool in school in the future."
Zhou Wen ignored him and sized up the gigantic Buddha Heart Lotus in the middle of the lotus pond, secretly guessing if it was a Legendary dimensional creature.
"Zhou Wen, that Skeleton Ant of yours does have some tricks up its sleeve. It seems to be able to counter that strange Buddha Heart Lotus. Why don't you let it try and see if it can kill the Buddha Heart Lotus? If it succeeds, you might be able to obtain something good," Li Xuan said as he looked at the Buddha Heart Lotus.
Forget it. That Buddha Heart Lotus is very odd. I only have one Companion Beast, so it's best I don't take the risk. Zhou Wen planned on using the game to grind the Underground Buddha City dungeon. In-game, Companion Beasts could be revived, but if they died in real life, they would really be dead. Why take such a huge risk?
"You are good at everything, but you lack the passion a young man should have. What's there to be afraid of? It's just a Companion Beast. At most, I'll think of a way to get another one in the future. If I can kill that strange Buddha Heart Lotus now, who knows, a special Companion Beast might drop. Wouldn't that be great?" Li Xuan said gloomily.
"I don't like gambling." Zhou Wen shook his head and turned to leave.
Li Xuan could only follow Zhou Wen back helplessly. It wasn't easy for him to obtain two passes through his connections, but he didn't even kill a single dimensional creature after coming to Buddha City. Now, he had to return.
"Why don't we head to that strange place to take a look?" Li Xuan suggested, unwilling to return just like that.
"You have a Legendary Companion Beast to protect your life, but I don't. Besides, I don't wish to risk my life." Zhou Wen walked back without looking back.
"You don't have any adventurous spirit." Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and left Buddha City with Zhou Wen.
Li Xuan grumbled the entire way that Zhou Wen was too timid, but Zhou Wen ignored him. After returning to Li Xuan's house, he went straight to his room and activated Underground Buddha City.
When the blood-colored avatar entered Underground Buddha City, it was identical to the one Zhou Wen saw. Zhou Wen took out the map he had gotten from Li Xuan and gamed according to the map. It didn't take long for him to find the lotus pond.
It was different from reality. In reality, the Buddha Heart Lotuses near the shore had all been slain by the students. Only the depths of the lotus pond had Buddha Heart Lotuses.
But in-game, the pond was filled with Buddha Heart Lotuses. Not only were there in the middle of the pond, but there were also many around it. However, he didn't see the gigantic Buddha Heart Lotus.
To prevent the blood-colored avatar from dying, Zhou Wen didn't let it enter the lotus pond. All he did was summon the Mutated Skeleton Ant and make it charge at a Buddha Heart Lotus that was closer to the shore.
The Mutated Skeleton Ant's sharp front claws sliced the emerald green lotus seeds that the Buddha Heart Lotus spewed out into two. The claws didn't stop as they sliced the Buddha Heart Lotus into two.
'Killed Mortal dimensional creature, Buddha Heart Lotus.'
The system notification appeared, but nothing dropped.
Zhou Wen ordered the Mutated Skeleton Ant to storm into the lotus pond, slaying any Buddha Heart Lotus it saw. After slaying more than thirty Buddha Heart Lotuses, a dimensional crystal finally dropped.
However, when Zhou Wen took a careful look, he realized that it was a Constitution 2 dimensional crystal. All it could do was replenish his expended Primordial Energy and nothing else.
While Zhou Wen was crazily slaying the Buddha Heart Lotuses, the news of the gigantic Buddha Heart Lotus appearing in the lotus pond had already spread throughout Sunset College.
Many students who hadn't left the college during the holidays rushed to the lotus pond when they heard the news. There was no lack of powerful Legendary stage students.
Everyone wanted to slay the gigantic Buddha Heart Lotus, but the outcome was shocking. A Legendary stage student released a Legendary Golden-Eyed Condor Companion Beast in an attempt to slay the Buddha Heart Lotus in midair. However, it was struck down by the Buddha Heart Lotus and nearly fell into the lotus pond. All its feathers were corroded to the point of falling off.
Thankfully, the Golden-Eyed Condor's owner had reacted in time and allowed the Golden-Eyed Condor to retreat. However, it was left half-dead. It wasn't an easy task to fully recover.
