Chapter 69: Flower
Everyone's attacks began to move towards the roots of the Datura flower.
This behavior undoubtedly annoyed it.
The datura flower began to become crazy and violent. The fragrance it emitted became stronger and stronger. The thorns shot out as densely as a rainstorm, and the branches and vines madly wrapped around everything around it, greatly increasing its lethality.
Several palace soldiers made a mistake and were knocked down by the branches of the datura flower. They were instantly pierced all over their bodies by sharp thorns and lay on the ground, their life or death unknown.
As soon as Nan Xiao shot the arrow, it would be pulled away by the branches of the Datura flower and would not be able to touch its roots at all.
"Junior sister, you don't have to worry about this place. Just focus on saving people." Qiao Yue rolled to her side, put a few shield talismans around her, and then plunged into the battlefield.
Nan Xiao pursed her lips and didn't say much.
Zhou Shiqing is at the Nascent Soul stage, and the second senior sister is at the Golden Core stage. Even with their combined efforts, they were unable to capture the demon spirit in the first place, which shows how terrifying this demon spirit is.
Xiaoya returned to Nan Xiao's hand and touched her hand with her leaves.
Although it is also a demon spirit, it is a demon spirit that was born not long ago, and its strength is far from comparable to that of this mandrake flower.
Nan Xiao used Xiaoya to drag back several injured soldiers, reached out and touched their noses to feel their breath, and found that they were still breathing. He took out the pills and fed them to them.
On the other side, Zhou Shiqing and others were also fighting fiercely with Mandragora, and the two were inseparable.
A large number of stone pillars and walls of the hall were affected, and stones began to fall down with a loud noise.
If this continues, the cave may collapse before the outcome is decided.
Zhou Shiqing realized this, and the light of the long sword in his hand suddenly increased. With a swing of the long sword, he rushed towards the mandragora flower with great force, intending to break it with force. The mandragora flower was not to be outdone, and countless branches and vines danced like spirit snakes to resist Zhou Shiqing's attack.
The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense.
Nan Xiao saw the dire situation and an idea flashed through her mind, and she sprang into action. She took out the explosive talisman Qiao Yue had given her earlier, wrapped it around a fine iron arrowhead, and shot it towards the root of the mandragora flower, saving everyone.
She scoffed lightly, her words dismissive: "What kind of demon spirit is that? That's all you can do."
Although he missed, Nan Xiao successfully attracted Mandragora's hatred.
This little human is like a rat in the gutter, first exposing its weaknesses, then making sneak attacks from time to time, which is extremely annoying.
Mandala gave up the idea of fighting with others and began to chase Nan Xiao with all his strength.
Nan Xiao smiled slightly, which was exactly what she wanted.
She used the speed talisman and ran out in a flash, leaving a sentence before leaving: "Fourth Brother, take the people away, I'm going to blow up..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Xun understood immediately.
Taking advantage of the time when Mandragora was chasing Nanxiao, he took the others and ran outside.
"Fourth Junior Brother, what's going on? Junior Sister is in danger."
Qiao Yue wanted to chase after him to help, but was stopped by Su Xun.
"Second Senior Sister, there's no time to explain. Fighting against demonic spirits in such an environment is ultimately disadvantageous to us. Junior Sister has her reasons for doing this. Let's get out first and talk later."
Su Xun has been getting along with Nan Xiao for some time, and he has also realized that the junior sister never fights an unprepared battle. She must have her own intentions when doing this.
"You'd better hope that Junior Sister is okay."
Qiao Yue called on everyone to start evacuating the cave.
Zhou Shiqing originally wanted to leave, but he caught a glimpse of the girl next to him. She was hiding behind a stone pillar and shivering with red eyes. She looked so pitiful.
He turned around and walked up to the girl.
"Are you hurt?"
Crying so sadly.
His voice was gentle, as if it could soothe the fear in people's hearts.
Shen Chaochao looked up at him, shocked by the man's extraordinary appearance. For a moment, she forgot to speak and just stared at his face.
Gu An frowned on the side. He couldn't tell why, but he just didn't like the way his junior sister looked at Zhou Shiqing.
He tugged at her arm and said in a firm voice, "Junior Sister, let's go too."
Shen Chaochao reacted and even forgot to be afraid, his cheeks flushed unconsciously: “It was my senior brother who was injured.”
Zhou Shiqing smiled and wanted to go forward to help Gu An, but he didn't expect the latter to not appreciate it at all and pushed him away.
He said in a bad attitude: "Go away, who wants you to be a good person here."
Qiao Yue and Su Xun also came over at this time.
"Shi Qing, what's wrong? It will be too late if you don't leave now."
"It's okay, let's go." Zhou Shiqing smiled gently, not caring at all about Gu An's bad attitude.
Su Xun walked at the back and glared at Gu An fiercely.
This kid has such a bad personality and is not worthy of his junior sister.
He must resolutely prevent his junior sister from having any contact with him.
Shen Chaochao stared at Zhou Shiqing's back in a daze. He was very handsome, as handsome as his master.
Although their temperaments are different.
······
On the other side, after Xiaoya told him that there was another exit from the cave, Nan Xiao used the speed talisman and ran madly, his legs almost leaving afterimages.
The datura flower follows closely behind.
Its vines slithered along the cave wall like long snakes, leaving a shocking trail wherever they passed. It looked like it had the momentum to strangle this little human to death right here.
"Xiaoya, please help me check if Senior Sister and the others have left."
Nan Xiao didn't dare to slow down at all.
Not only did she have to dodge the vines of the mandrake, but she also had to dodge the spikes it shot out.
If you slow down a little, you will die easily.
The little bud shook its leaves and replied: "No one is here, no one is here."
After receiving Xiaoya's reply, Nan Xiao curled his lips, turned back confidently, and said arrogantly: "You have been chasing me for so long, now it's your turn to run away."
Mandala was a little confused by her sudden turn of head and stopped subconsciously.
After Nan Xiao finished speaking, the Mandrake Flower finally realized that this little human had dared to provoke it without knowing the consequences of his own actions.
It wanted to pull out her tendons and bones to make fertilizer for the flowers.
Before the vines of the datura flower approached her, Nan Xiao skillfully took out a dozen balls and threw them out, then took out a turtle shell and slammed it on the ground.
The datura flower caught all the balls with its vines, twisted its branches, and seemed to say proudly, "This little trick is useless to me."
"Good luck."
Nan Xiao made a face at it, not caring whether it understood or not, and then directly lifted the turtle shell and crawled in.
She was afraid of the turtle shell. In case it stayed there for too long and couldn't withstand the explosion, she carefully put a protective cover inside.
Mandragora was furious and wanted to open the turtle shell so that he could drag out the person inside and kill him.
At this moment, an accident happened. The balls caught by the vines began to heat up. Poor Mandragora had not yet reacted, and only heard the balls on the vines explode one after another.
The explosion echoed throughout the valley, and the heat wave swept through the entire cave at an extremely fast speed.
Although Nan Xiao was protected by his tortoise shell and was not affected by the heat wave generated by the explosion, the sound of the explosion was so loud that his ears buzzed and he lost his voice.
She was now lying inside the turtle shell, and she could only hear her ears buzzing... and nothing else.
I was careless and forgot to plug my ears.
Nan Xiao couldn't hear any sound and didn't know what was going on outside. Just in case, she decided to stay in the turtle shell for a while longer.
What if that Mandragora is not dead?
