There wasn't much danger in the Poison Heart Lotus and Xiao Lingyu wasn't afraid of Heavenly God level poisonous creatures either. Therefore, when he heard Qi Hongxuan's call, he also rushed towards the center of the Black Water Lake.
Qi Hongxuan was the one who called him over. He didn't take the initiative to snatch the seeds. Therefore, even if Xiao Lingyu managed to snatch a lot of lotus seeds in the end, Qi Hongxuan wouldn't say anything.
Xiao Lingyu had already taken out the Yin-Yang Mirror when he was flying towards them. The four monsters were one step ahead of him and arrived in front of Qi Hongxuan and Xiao Lingyu.
The four monsters first rushed forward and knocked away the poisonous creatures closest to Qi Hongxuan and Xiao Lingyu. Then, Xiao Lingyu landed beside Qi Hongxuan.
The poisonous creatures had to attack Xiao Lingyu and the others while preventing the other poisonous creatures from snatching the lotus seeds. Naturally, it was difficult for them to work together. If they gave up on fighting each other and attacked Qi Hongxuan and Xiao Lingyu with all their might, Qi Hongxuan and Xiao Lingyu would be killed or chased away before Xiao Lingyu could arrive.
"We just need to defend ourselves here. Don't move around!"
Xiao Lingyu reminded Qi Hongxuan and Xiao Lingyu. Then, he controlled the four monsters to charge into the middle of the dozens of Heavenly God level poisonous creatures and each of them went for a lotus seed.
Xiao Lingyu and the others defended together. They had a flower petal behind them and the poisonous creatures couldn't attack them together. Naturally, they were safe.
Most importantly, all four of them were charging towards one of the lotus seeds. This diverted the attention of the Heavenly God Stage poisonous creatures. They all attacked the four of them to stop them.
However, what made those Heavenly God stage poisonous creatures helpless was that their attacks could only pass through the illusory monster's body. They were unable to cause any damage to the illusory monster.
Xiao Lingyu knew very well that unless they were much more powerful than the monsters, they wouldn't be able to do any damage to them. Therefore, he ordered the four monsters to charge ferociously into the crowd of poisonous creatures and let them dig for the lotus seeds.
The four monsters did not disappoint Xiao Lingyu. Within three breaths of time, they each dug out a lotus seed.
The time these four shadowy monsters could last was definitely enough for them to dig out all the lotus seeds.
However, when the poisonous creatures saw that attacking the four illusory monsters was useless, they stopped attacking and began to fight for the other four lotus seeds.
However, the poisonous creatures would not give in to each other. Anyone who tried to attack the lotus seeds would be attacked by the other poisonous creatures. As a result, the Heavenly God poisonous creatures were either injured or killed.
Only Poisonous Creature managed to dig out a lotus seed despite its serious injuries. However, it lost the ability to escape and was killed here.
Only the four phantom monsters were not afraid of any attacks. Not only could they dig out the lotus seeds that no one dared to touch, they could also compete for the lotus seeds that were dug out by other poisonous creatures.
All Xiao Lingyu and the other two needed to do now was to watch from the sidelines and prepare their own defenses.
Qi Hongxuan was very surprised by the performance of the four phantom monsters. Although the phantom monsters had attacked before, everyone was in danger at that time and it was impossible for them to see it so clearly.
"Let's get ready to retreat," Xiao Lingyu said to Qi Hongxuan when he saw that the four phantom monsters had already snatched six lotus seeds.
"There are still two lotus seeds left. Why don't we take them all?" Qi Hongxuan asked in confusion.
"Haha, we can't be too greedy. We've lost so many poisonous creatures. We should at least let them get some benefits, right?" Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"Brother Xiao, there's no need to be polite to these poisonous creatures. When they attacked us just now, they didn't have any intention of showing any mercy," Qi Hongxuan said while shaking his head.
"Then let's try to snatch them," Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
At this time, there were only two lotus seeds left. The dozens of Heavenly God poisonous creatures all focused their attention on these two lotus seeds and surrounded them.
Although the four phantom monsters were not afraid of attacks, it was difficult for them to break through the two encirclement. They could only attack the poisonous creatures forcefully. However, the poisonous creatures were quite tough. For a while, the four phantom monsters were unable to cause too much damage to the poisonous creatures.
It was also because of this that Xiao Lingyu felt that it was time to leave. If they left now, it would be much less troublesome and there wouldn't be any Heavenly God poisonous creatures obstructing them.
The dozens of Heavenly God poisonous creatures continuously attacked the two lotus seeds. Although they were repelled time and time again, and although some poisonous creatures were occasionally killed, in less than a hundred breaths, one of the lotus seeds was still snatched by a poisonous creature.
What made Xiao Lingyu and the other two strange was that there was still one lotus seed left, but the poisonous creatures all flew away in all directions.
Although he didn't understand, Xiao Lingyu, who had always been cautious and often ventured into all kinds of dangerous places, knew that there must be a reason for this. Thus, without thinking, he leapt up with the Yin Yang Mirror.
As for Qi Hongxuan and the other two, they rushed towards the last lotus seed.
When Qi Hongxuan took out the last lotus seed, a sudden change occurred. The Poison Heart Lotus's flower bud suddenly closed, and Qi Hongxuan and Li Wuyou were unable to escape in time, and it wrapped around them.
Obviously, although Qi Hongxuan recognized that it was the Poison Heart Lotus, he didn't know much about it.
Those Heavenly God poisonous creatures probably all knew that this would happen, so they didn't fight for the last lotus seed. Instead, they all fled in all directions as if they had gone mad.
Xiao Lingyu first put away the six lotus seeds, then ordered the four phantom monsters to attack the Poison Heart Lotus. He wanted to save Qi Hongxuan and the other two.
Although he knew that the Poison Heart Lotus might have other changes or create other dangers, Xiao Lingyu still decided to save Qi Hongxuan and the other two. At least they had fought together just now.
Unfortunately, although the four phantom monsters were special, their attack power was really very ordinary. It was not enough to blast open the lotus petals.
Xiao Lingyu saw that there was no one around. With a thought, a long cylindrical magic treasure appeared.
The long cylindrical magic treasure was golden all over. As soon as it appeared, it began to expand continuously. Then, it fiercely smashed towards the black lotus.
Boom!!!
The long golden cylinder smashed onto the black lotus, causing an earth-shaking explosion. Then, golden light and black light intertwined.
Although Xiao Lingyu wasn't able to fully unleash the full power of the saint artifact, the superficial attack of the saint artifact wasn't something that ordinary things could withstand. The Poison Heart Lotus might be a treasure to Heavenly Gods, but its quality definitely couldn't be compared to a saint artifact. Therefore, the Poison Heart Lotus immediately exploded after receiving such a powerful attack from the saint artifact. The cracked petals all fell into the black lake.
After the Poison Heart Lotus exploded, Xiao Lingyu immediately put away the saint artifact. Only then did he discover that Qi Hongxuan and the other two weren't in the air. Instead, there was a black cocoon of light.
The black cocoon of light didn't last for too long before slowly dissipating, gradually revealing Qi Hongxuan's body.
It seemed that the other servant girl had also perished just now.
To Xiao Lingyu's surprise, although Qi Hongxuan didn't appear to be injured at all, his entire body was greyish-black and constantly emitted black poisonous gas.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu even more was that Qi Hongxuan seemed to have lost his mind after he used the saint artifact to save him. As soon as he opened his pitch-black eyes, he charged towards Xiao Lingyu.
Although Qi Hongxuan wasn't in his best condition right now, he was much more powerful than before. Not only was he extremely fast, but his entire body was constantly releasing black poisonous arrows. Xiao Lingyu couldn't defeat him with his own strength at all, so he invited Foodie over.
However, even with Foodie's help, Xiao Lingyu could only remain undefeated for a while.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was about to use the saint artifact again, the Heavenly God stage poisonous creatures that had escaped surrounded them again. Moreover, these poisonous creatures didn't attack Xiao Lingyu. They all charged towards Qi Hongxuan as if they had a deep grudge against him.
No matter how powerful Qi Hongxuan was, he couldn't possibly be a match for so many Heavenly God stage poisonous creatures. In the end, he let out a furious roar and fled.
The Heavenly Deity Stage poisonous creatures chased after Qi Hongxuan, while Xiao Lingyu rode on Foodie at full speed towards the outside of the Blackwater Swamp.
Xiao Lingyu guessed that Qi Hongxuan's current state was due to the effects of the Poison Heart Lotus. However, he didn't think too much about it. He had also obtained six Poison Heart Lotus seeds. His harvest wasn't small either. It was best to leave the Blackwater Swamp as soon as possible.
After nearly three days, Foodie carried Xiao Lingyu out of the Blackwater Swamp and entered the barren mountains and dense forests again.
After another twenty years, Xiao Lingyu finally completed the route on the map and arrived at the entrance of Kun City.
In these twenty years, Xiao Lingyu naturally couldn't avoid some battles. However, with Foodie's help and the saint artifact's protection, he naturally wouldn't be in any danger. After all, there were only Heavenly God stage ferocious beasts in the forest and barren mountains.
The walls of Kun City were very tall. Even if Xiao Lingyu flew with all his might, it would be difficult for him to leap over it. When he stood at the entrance and looked to the left and right, he couldn't see the edges of the walls. This was enough to show that Kun City occupied a large area.
There were also many soldiers in bright armor standing guard at the entrance of Kun City. If one wanted to enter the city, they also had to pay the entrance fee.
However, there weren't many people waiting in line to enter the city. Xiao Lingyu only had to wait for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before it was his turn to pay the entrance fee.
The entrance fee wasn't high. It was just a piece of low grade god stone. However, this piece of low grade god stone could only allow one to stay in the city for a day. If one wanted to stay in Kun City for more than a day, they would have to pay more low grade god stones. For example, if one wanted to stay in Kun City for five days, they would have to pay five low grade god stones before entering the city. Alternatively, they would have to pay a piece of low grade god stone before entering the city.
As for cheating, it was very difficult to do. This was because when one entered the city, they would receive a jade tablet. This jade tablet had to be carried on one's body. Otherwise, one wouldn't be able to walk freely in Kun City. There were many arrays in Kun City that were used to detect whether or not a person had a jade tablet on them. If one didn't have a jade tablet on them, the array would call for a large group of city guards.
If one stayed for too long, they would also be detected by the array and the city guards would be called.
