Chapter 44 Blood-Patterned Buddha Heart Lotus
Zhou Wen was about to say something when he suddenly heard a loud splash, as if a bomb had exploded in the water.
They both turned their heads and saw waves rising in the lotus pond like an erupting volcano. In the waves, a huge lotus with a diameter of more than ten meters bloomed from the water.
That lotus is somewhat different from ordinary Buddha Heart Lotuses. The petals of ordinary Buddha Heart Lotuses are pure white, but although the petals of this Buddha Heart Lotus are also white, there are many blood-colored patterns on them. Those blood-colored patterns are faintly visible, outlining the outline of a sitting Buddha, as if there is a blood-colored sitting Buddha on each petal.
Luo Xuan rode the White Feather Pegasus in the air to avoid the splashes, but was splashed onto the White Feather Pegasus before it could even begin.
All that was heard was the painful cry of the White Feathered Pegasus. Its snow-white hide was corroded with bloody holes by the drops of water, which looked very scary.
Luo Xuan's face looked a little grim as he desperately urged the White Feathered Pegasus to fly towards the shore. If they fell into the water now, neither he nor the White Feathered Pegasus would be spared.
Reality is not a game. Whether it is a human or a companion pet, once dead, they are dead and there is no chance to start over. Unlike Zhou Wen’s mobile game, you can start over after death.
Luo Xuan wanted to escape, but unfortunately the enchanting Buddha Heart Lotus had no intention of letting him go. A lotus seed the size of a basketball spurted out from the lotus pod and hit the white-feathered Pegasus and Luo Xuan in the air like a cannonball.
The lotus seeds ejected by the Buddha Heart Lotus are generally emerald green, but this lotus seed is blood red as crystal, as if it were made of solidified blood, and it appeared in front of Luo Xuan in an instant.
The white-feathered flying horse was unable to dodge, so Luo Xuan drew his sword and slashed. With a flash of cold light, the sword slashed into the blood-colored lotus seed. However, before his sword completely cut the blood-colored lotus seed, Luo Xuan's face changed.
Almost in an instant, Luo Xuan sheathed his sword and stood up, tapping the back of the white-feathered flying horse with his toes. He then retreated two or three meters in the air like an eagle.
Bang!
At the same time, the blood-colored lotus seed exploded, turning into a blood rain that enveloped the entire body of the white-feathered Pegasus.
Next, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan saw a horrifying scene. The blood rain fell on the White-Feathered Pegasus, just like a red-hot iron block meeting snow, instantly melting the flesh and blood of the White-Feathered Pegasus.
In just a few breaths, large areas of muscle on the White Feathered Pegasus's body had melted away, revealing its white bones. It only had time to let out a miserable howl before falling into the lotus pond. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for it to survive.
"Xiaobai..." Luo Xuan shouted in grief and anger, but it was of no use, and now he himself was in danger.
He was still at least five or six hundred meters away from the shore. The white-feathered flying horse was dead, and he himself certainly had no ability to fly. This five or six hundred meter lotus pond was no different from hell to him.
Even if Zhou Wen and Li Xuan wanted to help, they were powerless. They did not have a flying companion pet, nor did they have an indestructible body. They could only watch helplessly from the side.
When both of them thought Luo Xuan was dead, they saw Luo Xuan touch the tip of his toes on the lotus leaf. Surprisingly, as if it were nothing, he rose up again with the force and stepped onto another lotus leaf.
"Hey, that pretty boy actually has some skills, and he even knows some Qi skills like Qinggong." Li Xuan exclaimed.
Zhou Wen was very interested when he saw Luo Xuan using the lotus leaves to gain momentum and leaping. The fragile lotus leaves only swayed slightly and were not broken by his step.
"Is there any place in Sunset Academy's other-dimensional realm that produces Qi skills similar to light work?" Zhou Wen looked at Li Xuan and asked.
"Of course there are. The most famous place is the Longmen Grottoes," said Li Xuan.
Zhou Wen has been planning to go to Longmen Grottoes when he has the chance. If he can download Longmen Grottoes as a game copy, he can unscrupulously practice light-weight Qi skills. This kind of Qi skills seems to be very useful. Even if he can't win, he can still escape.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Luo Xuan leaped onto the lotus leaf, but not long after he jumped, he heard sounds like artillery shells being fired, and then saw a dozen blood-red lotus seeds enveloping him, blocking all of Luo Xuan's escape routes and leaving him no room to dodge.
Although Luo Xuan still had half a broken sword in his hand, the sword was completely useless against those blood-colored lotus seeds. After cutting the blood-colored lotus seeds open, the power of their explosion would be even greater.
With a fierce grit of his teeth, the clothes on Luo Xuan's back tore, revealing a tattoo of a green bull. The next second, the green bull tattoo broke out of his body and transformed into a green bull companion pet, appearing in front of Luo Xuan and blocking the blood-colored lotus seeds in front of him.
With the help of the blue ox's shield, Luo Xuan finally found a glimmer of hope. At the critical moment, he broke out of the cover of the blood-colored lotus seeds.
However, the companion pet of the green ox was in a miserable state. It was covered in blood from the explosion of the blood-colored lotus seeds. Its flesh and blood corroded it, and it fell into the pool with a scream.
"That pretty boy Luo Xuan is really wealthy. He even has two mortal-level companion pets. Unfortunately, even with that, he still couldn't escape death. He was too far away from the shore." Li Xuan shook his head.
Zhou Wen ignored Li Xuan and stared into the lotus pond.
The white-feathered flying horse from before and the green ox now both fell into the lotus pond. Their flesh and blood were corroded and turned into a pile of bones at the bottom of the pond.
This horrifying scene reminded Zhou Wen of his own mutated skeleton ants.
The blood from the lotus pond and the Buddha Heart Lotus seemed to only corrode the flesh and blood, but not the bones. So, could the mutated skeleton ants, whose entire bodies had turned into skeletons, survive in the lotus pond?
After a brief thought, Zhou Wen summoned the mutated skeleton ant, ordered it to approach the lotus pond, and then extended the tip of one of its claws into the water.
The mutated skeleton ant flew out from the back of Zhou Wen's hand. It seemed to be made of blood-stained bones, with bone spurs all over its body. It was now much larger than its evolved body, like a skeleton tank, and even more hideous and terrifying than it looked in the game.
"Oh my god, what kind of companion pet is this?" Li Xuan, who was standing next to him, was startled by the sudden appearance of the mutated bone ant, and then he realized that this was Zhou Wen's companion pet.
"Dead skeleton ant." Zhou Wen answered casually, and then controlled the dead skeleton ant to extend one claw into the lotus pond.
"What are you doing?" Li Xuan was startled.
But Li Xuan soon discovered that the skeleton ants' claws were not damaged at all when they were put into the water, and were not corroded by the lotus pond water.
Zhou Wen was then certain that his guess was correct. The mutated skeleton ants were not afraid of the lotus pond water.
With a thought, the mutated skeleton ant slowly entered the lotus pond. Its body was stained with the pond water, but there was no change. It was obvious that the pond water had no effect on it at all.
Originally, Zhou Wen was worried that the mutated skeleton ants could not swim, but when he saw that the mutated skeleton ants were like water spiders, paddling their claws on the water surface and lotus leaves, crawling at an extremely fast speed, just like when they were on land, he was immediately relieved.
