"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream was heard, but it stopped abruptly. Suhlen turned into a blur and rushed out. The other soldiers followed closely behind him. Everyone held their weapons. No one dared to be careless.
Suhlen soon arrived at the scene. However, what he found made Suhlen frown.
"My … My Lord!"
A new spearman recruit had a frightened expression and his body was trembling. Beside him was the corpse of another spearman. However, only half of this spearman's corpse was left with blood.
"What happened? Where is the murderer? "Suhlen looked around and did not find any monsters.
"Karl … Karl was … eaten by that flower!" The spearman soldier stammered.
Suhlen looked at the corpse in front of him. There were some irregular teeth marks on the corpse. The corpse was badly mutilated. It looked like the upper half of the body had been swallowed. Even the iron-plated armor on the body was torn apart.
"Flower? What flower? "
The soldier, who had just joined the army not long ago, was so frightened that he stuttered. It took him a while to calm down. "Karl and I came here to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. We were going back to cook … Karl saw a patch of mushrooms under the tree and was about to pick them. But as soon as we walked over, a strange flower beside us suddenly opened its big mouth! We didn't even … didn't even have time to react. Karl was swallowed! I reached out and tried to pull him over, but only his … his lower half was pulled back! "
The soldier was nervous. He pointed at a strange plant not far away. His face was pale. It was obvious that he was greatly frightened.
Suhlen glanced at the plant. It was a plant similar to a sunflower. However, the color of the flower was blood red. The color was unusually bright. The stem of the sunflower looked like a cloth bag. There was also a pool of blood near the plant that had not dried up.
"Sunwheel flower?" Suhlen's face darkened when he saw the plant in front of him. Suhlen had seen this type of plant in Hathaway's monster guide. It was a type of mutated plant. It did not rely on photosynthesis to grow like normal plants. Instead, it devoured all kinds of animals and humans. This type of plant could also move on its own, but at a very slow speed.

Sunwheel flower was a type of mutated plant. This type of plant was the most dangerous type of man-eating plant. It could be found all over the continent.
There were many types of mutated plants that could attack, such as Snake Vines, Bloody Thorns, Karomans Trees, and so on. These types of plants would actively attack the animals around them. These types of plants had evolved from normal plants and had all kinds of terrifying spell-like abilities. For example, Snake Vines could bite and entangle their prey like poisonous snakes and release poison.
"Sir!"
At this time, the soldiers of the Northern Battlefront City arrived.
Suhlen ordered them, "There are man-eating plants here. Don't get close to them. Everyone, be alert. Don't be ambushed."
"Man-eating plants?" Hearing Suhlen's words, the soldiers immediately became nervous. They looked around the plants and scanned the area.
Kate looked at the body on the ground with a grim expression. "Sir, what kind of plant is this? It swallowed a person in one bite."
As a hero that Suhlen had discovered from the army, Kate's strength was not outstanding. However, he had sharp instincts on the battlefield and was very suitable to be a commander.
"Sunwheel Flower!" Su Lun uttered a name.
"Sir, how do we deal with these plants? Why don't we just set this place on fire and burn it all down? " Kate whispered. "We brought some kerosene this time. It shouldn't be a problem to set this forest on fire."
The surrounding forest was so quiet that it made people's hearts palpitate. The forest in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling.
Suhlen shook his head. "It's useless. These plants are very resistant to fire. Their roots are underground. If you want to burn them, you'll need a lot of kerosene."
Sunwheel flower's ability was not only to ambush and swallow people, but also its fragrance. This kind of plant's fragrance had a very strong hallucinogenic ability. It could make people fall into hallucinations unknowingly and then be controlled by the plant. Sometimes, the number of people was not an advantage for this kind of plant.
Suhlen flipped his palm and a sharp sword appeared in his hand. He then moved his body and rushed toward the sunwheel flower. This kind of man-eating plant had a special characteristic, which was that it would become very lazy when digesting its prey after swallowing.
At this time, as long as they didn't attack, they wouldn't attack again under normal circumstances. Moreover, when they were digesting food, the reaction of these man-eating plants would also be reduced. Experienced adventurers would prepare some cattle, sheep, and other animals for them to devour. When they were full, they would suddenly attack.
As a Grade 3 plant, they were very strong. Although they were only rated C + in the monster guide, if you were careless, the consequences would be unforgettable. No, there might not be a future.
This kind of plant's rating was because they had very obvious weaknesses. As long as you knew their weaknesses and made a corresponding attack plan based on their weaknesses, there were still many ways to deal with them. However, as plants, they had one thing in common: their most fatal weakness was the underground part.
Suhlen tiptoed and quickly rose up. The sharp sword in his hand slashed toward the sunwheel flower in front of him. The flower-shaped parts on the surface of the man-eating plant were its feeding and digestive organs. The bulging thing that looked like a bag was the body of the North Town City soldier.
As Suhlen expected, when Suhlen attacked, the sunwheel flower's reaction was much slower. When Suhlen's sword stabbed into the stem, the sunwheel flower suddenly attacked. A large number of vines shot out from the ground. Suhlen's sharp sword cut horizontally. It was a plant, but it felt like cutting rubber with a knife.
The vines broke, and bright red liquid flowed out of the cracks. It looked like blood. These vines were very strong. Although they had been cut off, they kept twisting after falling to the ground. It felt like the tentacles of an octopus were cut off.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the huge mouth that looked like a sunflower suddenly opened. The huge mouth opened ferociously. Inside the huge petals of the sunwheel flower, there were densely packed dagger-like teeth. If you were bitten by these teeth, you would immediately be torn into pieces.
Inside the petals, there were things like blood vessels. Those were channels used to transport nutrients. At this time, the body of the soldier inside was already beyond recognition.
At the same time, a bloody smell came, mixed with the smell of acid. It was the digestive fluid secreted by plants to digest their prey.
Suhlen stabbed a few times, causing some damage to the petals. However, these were not fatal. At the same time, a large number of root-like things suddenly broke out of the ground and surrounded Suhlen.
Sword Skill: Sweep
Sword Skill: Cut Iron
Two streaks of sword light shot out from the sword. The power of the sword light was so great that it directly cut the surrounding plant roots into two. The roots were cut off, causing severe pain to the sunwheel flower. The sunwheel flower's mouth also involuntarily twisted. Then, the huge petals suddenly opened like a bloody mouth and bit Suhlen.
However, although it was fast, it was far from enough compared to Suhlen. How could it be bitten? He slid left and twisted his body. Not only did he avoid the sunwheel flower's attack, but he also took the opportunity to backhand the sunwheel flower's roots. The roots, which were as tough as dragon skin, were not cut off. Suhlen moved quickly. He did not withdraw the sword in his hand. Instead, he followed the trace and cut directly.
Faced with high-speed cutting, the sunwheel flower's tough roots could no longer withstand it. The ferocious mouth was directly cut off. Even so, the sunwheel flower's mouth did not show any signs of death. Instead, it kept twisting and struggling on the ground.
Immediately afterward, a large number of roots broke out of the ground and madly besieged Su Lun. These roots directly formed a circle, encircling Su Lun in the middle, and then wrapped around him in an instant. There were also many barbs on these roots. If one was wrapped around by them, they would definitely be torn into countless pieces.
Thunderstorm Spell!
Strong lightning burst out from Suhlen's body. As the power of lightning was the most likely to trigger negative effects, under such dense lightning, all the sunwheel flower's roots trembled in an instant. Many of the roots were directly electrocuted into charcoal. The strong electric current flowed along the roots into the sunwheel flower's underground part. Even the sunwheel flower's underground part was constantly trembling from the electric current.
Not far away, there was a bulge on the ground that was neither big nor small. Seeing this, Su Lun's eyes flashed with lightning.
Lightning Spear!
Powerful lightning gathered in Suhlen's hand in an instant, forming a spear completely made of lightning. Then, he waved his arm. The lightning spear instantly pierced the air, then pierced the soil, and instantly sank into the bulge.
A muffled sound of thunder came from the ground under his feet, like winter thunder. Then, the trembling roots on the ground instantly lost their support and fell down one after another. A large amount of lightning jumped back and forth on the ground, and it took a few seconds for it to slowly dissipate.
