Looking at the enormous and alluring man-eating flower, Zhao Xi felt her throat go dry.

If any city wants to design a stadium with a tropical rainforest environmental theme, they could even simply bring this giant grass clover over as decoration.

"You guessed wrong, the great demon here is the Clamping Grass!" Zhao Xi blinked, then took out a fire talisman, intending to burn it to death.

"No rush, it's not over yet."

Lin Che pointed to the purple vines on the ground, his brows furrowing slightly. He raised his hand to reinforce the water shield, and then, along with Zhao Xi, sank into the underground river to continue towards the center of the formation.

A moment later, they heard the familiar bird calls.

The enormous honey-drinking dove looked like a Godzilla monster, almost taking up the entire cavern chamber and floating on the water.

The purple vines were actually its roots, gathering under the bird's body and burrowing under its fur, like a ball of freshly squeezed purple udon noodles.

The udon noodles continued to twist and wriggle.

A large ring of enormous clamps floated around them, each large enough to swallow Zhao Xi whole.

This is practically a land-based Cthulhu; just looking at it for a few seconds makes me feel like my sanity is about to drop to zero...

The bird's beak transformed into a gigantic clamp, and the bird demon was facing away from them, so their front was obscured.

However, it is no longer clear whether the honey-drinking dove devoured the man-eating flower or the man-eating flower devoured the strange bird.

Zhao Xi was shocked: "Two species have actually merged together? Is this a fusion evolution from Digimon?"

Lin Che pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It's probably because I forgot to wipe my mouth after eating, and that's when the strange thing happened."

Zhao Xi thought, "...Are you joking?!"

Lin Che: "Yes."

Zhao Xi thought: "???" Is there something you need?!

"Yah—"

Enraged by something, the bird demon roared repeatedly, spewing red smoke as its traps opened and closed.

The distance was so close that the sound waves were almost enough to shatter one's eardrums.

Zhao Xi wanted to cover her ears.

Lin Che raised his hand and used his wide sleeve to cover her.

Only after the sound was blocked did the birdsong be heard, drowning out all other sounds.

"Let it go!"

"Big monster bird, why did you take this little bird away?"

Holy crap!

Zhao Xi thought in horror: "What are Hoshino and Koko doing here?!"

Lin Che controlled the bubbles to float out of the water, dodging the large clamps below, and landed on a rock.

Fortunately, these traps were blind and did not attack them.

Something was swallowed by the bird demon, and the two cubs transformed back into their original forms and climbed onto the bird demon's massive body.

The little armored creature used its sharp claws to dig holes in the bird demon's body, and dark blood dripped down, wetting the bird's appearance. The grass on the ground opened and closed, but it couldn't reach the little armored creature and could only wait for it to fall.

Hoshino transformed into a long black dragon, hanging around the bird demon's neck, spewing dragon fire into the large pincers on its beak.

As the clip opens and closes, there seems to be a tiny thing stuck on the green filaments on the edge of the clip.

The thing was still making noise.

"Daddy~"

Zhao Xi thought: "...?"

Lin Che: "..."

Big bird: "Yah—"

Little bird: "Help! Daddy!"

Hoshino: "Daddy's coming to save you!"

Xiao Jia: "Baby, once Daddy kills this damned monster bird, you'll be alright!"

What the heck!

Zhao Xi thought, "What do we do now?"

Lin Che rested his chin on his hand and looked around: "Why don't we wait a bit?"

Why does the Water God's tone sound somewhat sarcastic?

After spitting out a few breaths of dragon fire, Hoshino tried to grab the baby bird while the clamps were opening and closing.

It seemed to have reached it, but it also triggered the cilia in the clip.

The large clamp closed, trapping him inside.

"Hoshino!" Xiaojia cried out and jumped onto the trap, trying to pull Hoshino out.

The giant bird demon snorted and swallowed the two little fathers and the baby birds whole.

The family of three turned into a food lump, which fell down the bird demon's neck and into its stomach, where a piece bulged out.

Lin Che: "..."

Zhao Xi wanted to turn to him and ask, "...What do we do now?"

Lin Che placed a drop of water on her forehead and asked her for a few Shrinking Earth Talismans: "...I'll go and exchange them."

Change it out?

Zhao Xi realized this too late.

Lin Che disappeared from the spot beside him, and Xingye and Xiaojia, covered in gastric juices, suddenly appeared. The two had probably been knocked unconscious by the bird demon's gastric juices, but they were still tightly protecting the little chick in their hands.

For this very thing, the two little brats disregarded their own safety and dared to show off their fancy but ineffective martial arts in front of such a large bird demon...

If it weren't for Lin Che, they might have found dragon flames spewing from the large claws and the bird's body covered in small armor scales when they discovered the bird demon again!

The little chick peeked out from between their fingers, looked Zhao Xi up and down a few times, and said, "Mommy!"

Zhao Xi thought for a long time before falling silent.

He flicked the head on the source of the trouble.

"I'm your grandma!"

The drop of water on his forehead allowed him to hear the sounds around him.

"Find the leaves of the Vermilion Fruit Spirit and boil them to make a soup with fire spirit energy. Pour it into this water and you can destroy the demon."

So there's another way to do this.

Zhao Xi planned to wake up Xingye and Xiaojia and then use the Earth God Shrinking Earth Talisman to send them to the teleportation point that had been set up earlier with earth spiritual energy.

There's no rush to ask about the baby birds. First, have the chicks collect the leaves of the Vermilion Fruit Essence, put them in the ring, and send them to her.

Besides the gurgling sound of stomach acid, there was also a very high-pitched female voice inside.

"Oh, it's been so long since I've had such a delicious beauty come in."
