Chapter 45: Heroes Gathered in the Lotus Pond

Li Xuan watched the mutated skeleton ants crawling quickly along the water surface, their mouths wide open for a long time without closing.

Luo Xuan's body jumped quickly on the lotus leaf, but the second round of lotus seeds from the Buddha Heart Lotus came at him again, leaving him no room to dodge.

Moreover, even if he could dodge the second round of lotus seed volleys, his vitality would not be able to sustain him to continue using the lightness and vitality skills. If he fell into the lotus pond, he would be dead.

"Luo Xuan, land on the back of that ant." Suddenly, Luo Xuan heard a voice coming from the direction of the shore.

Luo Xuan had no idea who was talking, nor was he in the mood to pay attention. He tried his best to dodge most of the blood-colored lotus seeds, but there was one that he couldn't avoid no matter what. He had to grit his teeth and block it with his sword.

Although he knew that this action was meaningless and that the blood-colored lotus seed would still explode upon impacting the broken sword, corroding him into a pool of blood, his instinct for survival still made him choose to do so.

Before the broken sword could strike the blood-colored lotus seed, Luo Xuan suddenly saw a blood-colored figure flash past his head. An extremely huge and ferocious ant leaped over his head and hit the blood-colored lotus seed.

The blood-colored lotus seeds exploded above the ant's head, soaking the ant all over. However, the giant ant with an extremely ferocious appearance seemed to feel nothing. It landed on the water, its six claws dancing rapidly, and turned to crawl towards Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan was startled, thinking the ants were going to attack him, but when he thought of the sound before and the ants' previous actions of blocking the blood-colored lotus seeds, he suddenly understood. He pressed hard on the lotus leaf with his foot and jumped onto the back of the mutant skeleton ant.

The mutated skeleton ant crawled quickly along the water surface, much faster than Luo Xuan's jumping. By the time the Buddha Heart Lotus fired its third volley, it had already rushed out of the attack range of the blood-colored lotus seeds.

The mutated skeleton ants rushed to the shore and stopped in front of Zhou Wen.

Luo Xuan jumped down from the back of the mutant skeleton ant. No matter how dumb he was, he could already tell that the mutant skeleton ant was Zhou Wen's companion pet, and the person who had just reminded him should also be Zhou Wen.

"My name is Luo Xuan. I will definitely repay you for saving my life. May I know your name?" Luo Xuan said.

"My name is Zhou Wen, he is Li Xuan, we are classmates, it's just a small favor, don't take it to heart." Zhou Wen said casually.

"Zhou Wen, I'll remember that." Luo Xuan carefully examined Zhou Wen's appearance before turning and leaving.

"This guy is in such a mess, yet he still looks so arrogant. It's really annoying." Li Xuan couldn't stand Luo Xuan.

But a moment later, Li Xuan became happy again and laughed, "Without the White Feather Pegasus, I wonder how this guy will be able to act cool in school in the future."

Zhou Wen ignored him and just looked at the huge Buddha Heart Lotus in the center of the lotus pond, secretly wondering if it was a legendary extra-dimensional creature.

"Zhou Wen, your Skeleton Ant has some tricks up its sleeve. It seems to be able to restrain that strange Buddha Heart Lotus. Why don't you let it go and see if it can kill the Buddha Heart Lotus. If you succeed, you might be able to get something good." Li Xuan also looked at the Buddha Heart Lotus and said.

"Forget it, that Buddha Heart Lotus is very evil. I only have this one companion pet, so it's better not to take risks." Zhou Wen planned to go back and use the game to play the underground Buddha City copy. In the game, the companion pet can be resurrected after death, but if it dies in reality, it is really dead. Why take such a big risk?

"You are good in everything except that you lack the passion that a young person should have. What are you afraid of? It's just a companion pet. At worst, you can find a way to get another one later. If you can kill that weird Buddha Heart Lotus now, maybe a special kind of companion pet will pop up. Wouldn't that be a big profit?" Li Xuan said depressedly.

"I don't like gambling." Zhou Wen shook his head, turned around and walked back.

Li Xuan could only helplessly follow Zhou Wen back. He had finally used his connections to get two passes, but he ended up coming to Buddha City and didn't even kill a single creature from another dimension, so he had to go back.

"Why don't we go to that strange place again?" Li Xuan was unwilling to go back like this, so he suggested again.

"You have a legendary companion pet to protect your life, but I don't. Besides, I don't want to risk my life." Zhou Wen walked back without looking back.

"No adventurous spirit at all." Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and left Buddha City with Zhou Wen.

Li Xuan complained about Zhou Wen being too timid all the way, but Zhou Wen ignored him. After returning to Li Xuan's house, he went straight into his room and opened the underground Buddha City copy.

The bloody man entered the underground Buddhist city, which was exactly the same as the Buddhist city Zhou Wen had seen. Zhou Wen took out the map he had asked for from Li Xuan, played the game according to the map, and soon found the lotus pond.

It is different from the reality. In reality, all the Buddha Heart Lotuses near the shore have been cut down by students, and only the Buddha Heart Lotuses are found in the depths of the lotus pond.

In the game, the pond is full of Buddha Heart Lotuses, not only in the middle of the pond, but also around it. However, the super huge Buddha Heart Lotus is not seen.

In order to prevent the bloody man from dying, Zhou Wen did not let him enter the lotus pond. He only summoned the mutated skeleton ants and let them rush towards a Buddha Heart Lotus that was relatively close to the shore.

The mutant skeleton ant's sharp front claws directly cut the green lotus seeds ejected from the Buddha Heart Lotus into two halves. The sharp claws did not stop and cut the Buddha Heart Lotus into two halves as well.

"Kill the mortal-level extra-dimensional creature Buddha Heart Lotus."

The system prompt appeared, but nothing came out.

Zhou Wen ordered the mutated skeleton ants to kill their way into the lotus pond. They cut down all the Buddha Heart Lotuses they saw. After cutting down more than 30 Buddha Heart Lotuses, a dimensional crystal finally appeared.

But when Zhou Wen took a closer look, he found that it was actually a dimensional crystal of physical strength 2, which could only be used to replenish the consumed vitality and was of no other use.

When Zhou Wen was frantically killing the Buddha Heart Lotus, the news that the huge Buddha Heart Lotus appeared in the lotus pond had already spread throughout Sunset Academy.

Many students who did not leave the academy during the holidays rushed to the lotus pond upon hearing the news, including some powerful legendary students.

Everyone wanted to kill the giant Buddha Heart Lotus, but the result was shocking. A legendary student released a legendary Golden Eyed Eagle companion pet, trying to kill the Buddha Heart Lotus in mid-air, but was shot down by the Buddha Heart Lotus and almost fell into the lotus pond. All of its fur was corroded and almost fell off.

Fortunately, the owner of the golden-eyed eagle saw the opportunity early and made the golden-eyed eagle retreat, but it was only half dead, and it was not easy to fully recover.

Many legendary students were trying their best, but there was not much progress for a while. After all, there were relatively few companion pets that could fly. In a place like the lotus pond, humans did not dare to go into battle themselves and could only fight with companion pets.
