This area was densely wooded and overgrown with weeds. Lu Xiaotian and Fan Qing were being chased all over the place. Not long after, they arrived in front of a sea of flowers that was more than ten acres in size.
Pink and flirtatious trumpet-shaped flowers. They were beautiful beyond compare. Originally, Lu Xiaotian also planned to jump into the sea of flowers. However, he saw scattered bones under the tall flowering trees. Many of them had died not long ago. A trace of vigilance welled up in his heart, and he changed his direction. However, Fan Qing, who was in a panic, went in headfirst. Very quickly, a bizarre scene appeared. The trumpet-shaped and bewitching flower actually opened its mouth and swallowed Fan Qing whole.
"It's actually the Man-eating Demonic Flower that has been extinct in the Xiuxian World for a long time!"
Lu Xiaotian suddenly remembered a biography written by a cultivator called Zeng Yi from the Spirit Firmament Palace. It introduced a kind of flower that was exactly the same as the one in front of him. It attracted birds and beasts with its beautiful flowers, and when they came close, it swallowed them whole.
Lu Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart. He could see the tube-shaped flowering tree squirming. Fan Qing struggled fiercely inside, and a ball of fire exploded. Fan Qing screamed miserably as he stumbled out from inside. His Taoist robe had been corroded, leaving only scattered strips of cloth. His face was covered with mucus and was full of holes. It was extremely ugly.
However, Fan Qing was very unlucky. Just as he escaped from a Man-eating Demonic Flower, he stumbled into two other Man-eating Demonic Flowers. The two trumpet-shaped flowers opened their mouths at the same time. One bit his head, the other bit his legs.
"Not good!" Lu Xiaotian was just about to save Fan Qing when dozens of huge white-haired spiders rushed over. He had to give up temporarily and put some distance between them. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if he was caught by those tough spider webs.
"Kacha!" With a huge pull, Fan Qing was torn in two by the Man-eating Demonic Flowers. The flowers closed and squirmed, and Fan Qing disappeared.
With Fan Qing's death, the news about the Purple Radish Ginseng was cut off. Lu Xiaotian was annoyed. He turned around and swept his cyan flying knife, cutting several white-haired spiders in front of him into pieces. Then he ran away again.
Barely after fleeing for several dozen zhang, the Guidance Talisman on his body suddenly stirred.
Lu Xiaotian's face flashed with a trace of astonishment. It had been more than 20 days since his team had been scattered, and this was the first time he had encountered cultivators from the same sect. Moreover, judging from the vibration of the Guiding Talisman, there were quite a few of them. For the time being, it would be best not to let other cultivators know that he had a magic artefact. Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed, and he replaced the cyan knife with a golden flying sword.
The commotion on the other side was not small. Lu Xiaotian ran for a while, and more than 30 people appeared in front of him one after another. Among them, 15 were disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace. The leader was a beautiful woman with fair skin and a graceful figure. She was Oh Yeon, who had angrily rebuked him in the Martial Arts Arena of the Divine Firmament Palace.
The other team was made up of disciples in blue robes with a flying snow pattern embroidered on their chests. They were the disciples of the Profound Ice Sect.
"Junior Sister Wu, I didn't expect to meet your fellow disciple here. It looks like your fellow disciple's situation isn't too good. Would you like me to give you a hand? " The leader of the Profound Ice Sect was a handsome young man with an elegant demeanor. He was holding a white folding fan and gently waving it. He spoke to Oh Yeon very enthusiastically.
"Senior Brother Meng, thank you for your kindness. Our disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace can handle such a small matter. Junior Sister Zhu, you take some people to help this person get rid of those white-haired spiders," Oh Yeon said with a straight face after glancing at Lu Xiaotian with an expressionless face.
"Yes, Wu Shijie." Behind Oh Yeon, a tall woman with an ice bow in her hand flew forward with six people. The seven of them drew their bows, and the tall woman surnamed Zhu shot an ice arrow. In the blink of an eye, a Third Stage white-haired spider was shot through. The remaining six women formed a team of three. They took turns to shoot arrows, and their attacks were linked together. Their coordination was quite methodical.
Lu Xiaotian was shocked. The archer team of these seven female disciples was equivalent to more than ten ordinary team members. No wonder the disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace were seven fewer than those of the Profound Ice Sect. Oh Yeon still spoke bluntly to Senior Brother Meng of the Profound Ice Sect. Although the bows and arrows looked complicated, the seven women's coordination was enough to make up for the lack of numbers.
After a few rounds of arrows, there were only a dozen white-haired spiders left. Seeing the large group of practitioners, they felt that they had no chance of winning, so they quickly fled into the grass. Lu Xiaotian had to recall the golden Flying Sword that was flying in the air. He had intended to help, but he didn't expect the archer team to kill more than a dozen spiders. The rest were scared away, which saved him a lot of trouble.
The seven female archers withdrew their arrows valiantly, which fascinated the male disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace and the Profound Ice Sect.
"Why are you standing there like a block of wood? It's time to return to the team." Oh Yeon scolded Lu Xiaotian with a cold face.
The other practitioners looked at Lu Xiaotian with schadenfreude. They didn't know how this unlucky fellow disciple had offended Wu Shijing.
Lu Xiaotian touched his nose awkwardly. He knew himself well. At this time, Oh Yeon should have recognized him. She still held a grudge against him for not helping Cheng Ze in the Gladiator Arena. However, Oh Yeon just gave him a cold shoulder. She was much better than those who stabbed him or left him in the lurch.
"Junior Brother, you came from the front. Have you heard about the Purple Radish Ginseng?" Senior Brother Meng waved his fan and asked casually.
"Senior Brother, you must be joking. I'm alone. It's good enough that I can survive in this dangerous place. How could I have the ability to find out about the Purple Radish Ginseng?" Lu Xiaotian shrugged. He didn't lie. Fan Qing was very likely to know, but unfortunately, he was dead now.
"If that's the case, we can only search this area step by step." Senior Brother Meng sighed and said regretfully.
"Senior Brother Meng, this area is quite large. If we search together, it will inevitably take time and effort. Why don't we search separately during the day and leave marks along the way? We can gather together at night to save time. What do you think?" Oh Yeon seemed to be asking the young man surnamed Meng, but in fact, her tone didn't seem to be negotiating.
"That's good. But, I'm quite reluctant to part with Junior Apprentice Sister Wu. Junior Apprentice Sister Wu, you must take care of yourself. If the situation is slightly bad, you must immediately send a signal. Even if I have to risk my life, I will come to your aid as soon as possible," the youth surnamed Meng said with a reluctant expression.
"Senior Brother Meng, thank you for your kindness. If there is an accident, I'll inform you." Oh Yeon nodded with a slightly unnatural expression. She cupped her hands and left with the disciples of the Divine Cloud Palace.
"Senior Brother Meng, the guy just now looked very unusual. He can escape from the pursuit of dozens of white-haired spiders. He can't be an ordinary person. That little bitch surnamed Wu was with us before. When she met this guy, she immediately asked to part. It's inevitable that she has some secrets!"
