Chapter 180
Then, I saw that...
The moment Cheng Hui took out the meat, he swore that the zombies that were lining up to jump into the mouth of the carnivorous plant paused visibly.
Then, he saw those people rushing towards him with red eyes like crazy.
Cheng Hui: ...
He dodged and rushed out.
These people's cultivation was not high, but he was a little scared of their madness. Anyone with a brain would know that they shouldn't go all out at the beginning of a fight, but these people didn't care about that at all. As long as they could increase their current strength, they used all they could.
Cheng Hui even saw a three-legged monster take out a porcelain bottle and throw it at him.
The porcelain bottle fell to the ground and a gray-green smoke rose up. Several unlucky people passing by fell down directly, and even the surrounding vines withered a lot.
Cheng Hui was also shocked by the strong poison in the porcelain bottle. It was true that his body was very resistant to beatings, but it was hard to say whether he had antibodies to the poison. If he was really hit, he might be dead.
He ran away quickly holding the piece of meat, with the vines of the carnivorous plant following closely behind him.
Apparently, the effect of this piece of meat was also very attractive to the carnivorous plant, and the pressure on City Lord Hua was significantly reduced.
Lin Qingyang took the opportunity to knock out many ghost cultivators with low cultivation and threw them out. Judging from the unlucky ghost before, as long as these people escaped from a certain range, they might still be able to regain their sanity.
To prevent them from aiding the enemy, they had to either kill them or throw them away. If it were up to Lin Qingyang to decide, the former would naturally be easier, but Cheng Hui was a soft-hearted person, so Lin Qingyang would save them if he could.
Because the piece of meat in Cheng Hui's hand was holding up the zombies behind him, they all put their strength forward and didn't pay any attention to Lin Qingyang behind them.
This is also because these zombies have no rationality, which is why Lin Qingyang took advantage of them.
Cheng Hui ran very fast. In a place where flying was prohibited, his strong body gave him a great advantage. He nimbly dodged the vines that attacked from all angles, and suddenly heard a loud scream from the Piranha Plant.
Cheng Hui was delighted, thinking that it must be Lord Hua who hit the target!
He knew the power of City Lord Hua's arrow. The Piranha Plant died from it last time, and this time it would definitely...
Just when he thought that the carnivorous plant was dead, his mind relaxed for a moment, and suddenly several vines came towards him from different directions.
Cheng Hui was caught off guard and was caught in the vine. Although he quickly broke free, the piece of meat in his hand was swept away by the vine.
If the vines hadn't mainly targeted the flesh, he would have been seriously injured if not killed.
That piece of meat was like a natural attractor, and all the zombies were chasing after it.
Now that the piece of meat was swept away by the vines, they turned around and stopped staring at Cheng Hui. Instead, they ran after the vines.
Cheng Hui was shocked. He didn't know what would happen to the carnivorous plant after it got the piece of meat. Just when he wanted to remind City Lord Hua, he saw that the other party had sensed some danger when he shot the carnivorous plant to death and had already run away.
Cheng Hui: ...
I was too careless. City Lord Hua had much more combat experience than me, and he must have noticed something was wrong from the beginning.
Cheng Hui was upset about his mistake, and he ran far away with Lin Qingyang without stopping.
As for the remaining zombies... I'm sorry, he tried his best.
Lin Qingyang rescued about thirty zombies, which was not a large number. The main reason was that most of these ghost cultivators died in the melee and were then eaten by carnivorous plants. There were only about fifty left, and he took away more than thirty of them. The remaining dozen or so were still chasing the vines that were rolling up the flesh.
The carnivorous plant shot by City Lord Hua has turned into a pool of pus, mixed with a lot of undigested ghost cultivator remains.
The vine that rolled up the piece of meat was extremely fast and ran far away in the blink of an eye. Compared with the thick vines around it, this vine was obviously much thinner and relatively more flexible.
Those zombies could still fight with some recklessness when fighting with humans, but faced with these endless vines, their fighting power dropped sharply, and in the blink of an eye they became delicacies in the mouths of these vines.
After the tiny vine came to an open space, it quickly rolled the piece of meat into the ground. Then a huge flower bud shot up into the sky, and the surrounding layers of vines wrapped around it again, rolling the flower bud into a ball.
Seeing the true form of the carnivorous plant appear and clearly take a defensive stance, both Cheng Hui and the City Lord Hua realized that after obtaining the piece of meat, the carnivorous plant might evolve.
No! We can't let it digest that piece of meat.
The three of them attacked the vine ball at the same time, but this time, no one knew where the vines came from. They piled up layer by layer. The attack of the three people was not ineffective, but the effect was very insignificant.
I just dealt with one layer of vines, and three layers have already come up over there.
City Lord Hua had just shot that arrow and would not be able to use it again in a short period of time. The aura in the flower bud was becoming stronger and stronger, and was about to cross the half-step Nascent Soul stage and enter the Nascent Soul stage.
Cheng Hui knew that if he continued to hold back at this time, he would be courting death, so he simply unleashed his greatest weapon - the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Hua City Lord: ...
What the hell?
City Lord Hua looked at Cheng Hui with a twitching eye, as if he was about to make a big move, and then spit out the small bean-sized flame.
A true little flame.
If she didn't have good eyesight, she might not have seen it.
Fortunately, although this small flame trembled as it flew, it did not go out halfway. Lord Hua was worried that the monster would see this attack method and laugh so loudly that it could blow out the flame.
Fortunately, no such tragedy occurred.
For plant-type monsters, being unable to move is probably a permanent pain in their hearts.
The small flame fluttered and landed on the rattan ball, and with a whoosh, a huge fire was ignited.
Even City Lord Hua was shocked.
She never expected that the seemingly insignificant little flame could actually ignite such a huge flame.
After a brief investigation, City Lord Hua's expression changed. The corners of her mouth twitched as she looked at Cheng Hui with an incredulous gaze and asked tentatively, "Red Lotus Karma Fire?"
Cheng Hui: “…Yeah.”
City Lord Hua was speechless for a moment, but finally gave him a thumbs-up. "Amazing! Young and promising! This is the first time I've seen someone who can control the Red Lotus Karma Fire! I admire you!"
Cheng Hui's face turned red after being praised by City Lord Hua. His Red Lotus Karma Fire only looked powerful, but it was difficult to exert its power in battle.
In other words, before its speed is increased, this red lotus fire can only bully immobile plants.
The burning rattan ball suddenly exploded, and countless flaming vines flew everywhere.
The flaming vines were blown away by the explosion. Although they were shattered into pieces, they successfully extinguished the red lotus fire.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire can burn an entire thing, but this vine ball has countless layers. The carnivorous plant was also very clean and neat, exploding directly from a place closer to the bud. There were still several layers of vines inside that had not been ignited, but they were all blown away by it.
It was precisely this decisiveness that caused Cheng Hui's red lotus fire to return empty-handed.
The burned vines were quickly replenished, and the vine ball, which had shrunk due to the red lotus fire, expanded again.
Cheng Hui noticed with his sharp eyes that this time, there was a large amount of green liquid between the vines, which was obviously used to guard against the red lotus fire.
He looked at City Lord Hua in distress. The Red Lotus Karma Fire was very powerful, but this battle also exposed its many shortcomings.
The most obvious example is the survival by losing a limb. If the enemy is decisive enough, or has a particularly strong recovery ability, then discarding the body parts that are ignited by the red lotus fire can be a good defense against the flames from hell.
Seeing the Piranha Plant's momentum growing stronger, Cheng Hui asked City Lord Hua, "City Lord, is there anything else you can do?"
City Lord Hua scratched his bald head with a bitter face. "I can still manage to shoot one more arrow, but once I do, I'll be completely exhausted. If the Piranha Plant isn't dead by then, then the three of us will be finished."
Cheng Hui looked at Lin Qingyang. Lin Qingyang thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly.
As the saying goes, one can defeat ten skills with one's strength. The carnivorous plant's reckless approach of using its vines to defend itself with layers of defense has put them in danger.
And if the carnivorous plant digested the meat, they would be in even greater danger.
"Never mind! Let's fight! We can't just sit there and wait to die!" Cheng Hui gritted his teeth and decided to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
He will follow his heart when he should, but when it comes to risking his life, Cheng Hui will not back down.
"Wait!" Lin Qingyang reflexively grabbed his arm.
He wanted Cheng Hui to leave, but he knew that he would not abandon him alone. Besides, the dangers in the underground palace were not necessarily less than here. Instead of letting him take risks, it would be better to let him stay here with him. At least they could die together.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion in the sky.
The Piranha Plant's aura had completely reached its peak, having officially advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. The pitch-black underground was suddenly filled with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if it could strike at any moment.
"He is going to survive the thunder tribulation." City Lord Hua looked at the lightning in the sky with an envious expression.
She had been stuck at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years. Even though ghosts had long lives, she would only waste her life if she continued like this. She knew full well that the reason she couldn't advance was because of a knot in her heart. If it wasn't resolved, she would most likely stop here in her lifetime.
But she did not regret it. She just couldn't help but feel a little envious when she saw someone going through the thunder tribulation - even if the person going through the tribulation was her enemy.
"This is our last chance." He kindly reminded Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang.
This thunder tribulation is the final hurdle for the carnivorous plant, and also its most dangerous moment.
If they could make it through, then none of the three of them would be able to escape, but if they couldn't make it through... she couldn't guarantee that they would survive.
Cheng Hui's heart sank as he wondered if he could find a way to make it more difficult for the carnivorous plant to overcome its tribulation.
Thinking back, he saved himself a lot of trouble with the help of a lightning rod. On the other hand, maybe he could have let the carnivorous plant die directly in the lightning disaster.
To put it bluntly, the thunder tribulation is a test from heaven. How did this man-eating flower achieve its Nascent Soul stage cultivation? Isn't it accumulated by devouring those ghost cultivators? This method of improving cultivation is absolutely the most hateful in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. The thunder tribulation it sets for this is definitely the most dangerous and brutal.
Cheng Hui didn't dare to get close, as Tiandao thought he was an accomplice of the Piranha Plant, but this didn't stop him from causing trouble for the Piranha Plant.
For example... the corpse of the 'God' hidden in his storage ring?
