Chapter 333 Star Snow Lotus
Song Hui made a few gestures, and Zhuo Hua and Su Xun understood immediately. According to what they had agreed upon before, the two of them quietly dispersed in two directions.
The three of them took their positions. Zhuo Hua took a deep breath, grasped the magic sword, turned his wrist, and sword flowers bloomed. He slashed several times in the air.
The sharp sword energy crisscrossed, forming an invisible net in the darkness and spreading towards a demon beast.
The monster was salivating over the tempting fruit, but was startled by the sudden sword energy and let out an angry roar.
It swung its tail, and the surrounding stone walls began to shake. Its blood-red vertical pupils revealed a bloodthirsty and murderous light, and it directly locked onto Zhuo Hua's position. The thick snake body swam away like lightning, and deep grooves were pressed into the ground wherever it passed.
Zhuo Hua's heart was beating very fast. He relied on his agile body and the well-connected terrain around him to deal with the monster skillfully.
The monster was thinking about the fruit and didn't want to get entangled with Zhuo Hua. Every time he was about to let him go, Zhuo Hua would rush over with his sword.
The main strategy is that when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I advance.
The sword energy continued to pierce the monster.
The monster had thick skin and flesh, and although it didn't suffer any serious injuries, it gradually went crazy after being subjected to this kind of behavior many times.
The huge snake's tail swung fiercely in the narrow cave, and many passages were blocked because of the monster's actions.
The passage was blocked, so Zhuo Hua had fewer options for escape and was in danger several times.
He couldn't help cursing:
"What are they doing? If they don't hurry up, they'll really give the monsters a treat."
On the other side, Su Xun used a trick to temporarily blind the vision of the two monsters.
Worried, he put a few more invisibility talismans on himself. His aura was rapidly restrained, and he seemed to blend into the surrounding environment. Like a silent black shadow, he quickly approached the flower.
The surroundings were not very quiet, but Su Xun could still clearly hear his own heartbeat. He calmed his mind and was about to touch the fruit.
Suddenly, a monster lurking nearby seemed to sense something and woke up from its trance.
"Thieves are stealing their fruit."
The blood-red vertical pupils suddenly widened, and the snake's head turned quickly, aimed at Su Xun, opened its bloody mouth, and bit him.
"Death befall the little thief."
Su Xun's face changed. In a flash, he drew out his magic sword without thinking, thrust it forward with all his might, and accurately stuck it between the giant snake's sharp fangs and bloody mouth that was biting madly.
A disgusting stench of decay gushed out of the snake's mouth and poured straight into Su Xun's nostrils, making him almost vomit.
The monster felt obstructed and became furious, swinging its tail violently.
Su Xun only felt a tremendous force coming at him, and he was unable to dodge it. The whole person was shaken by the powerful impact and involuntarily took several steps back.
With a "puff" sound, Su Xun was unable to withstand the force after all, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Hui quickly poured his spiritual power into the sword, and then threw the sword out with force.
The spirit sword flew towards the monster, piercing its side with pinpoint accuracy. The monster froze in pain. Su Xun seized the opportunity to leap forward, only to find a third giant snake also lunging towards him.
At this time, Zhuo Hua seized the opportunity and brought the monster behind him back.
He yelled, "Get out of the way."
Song Hui took Su Xun to hide in the passage next to him, and Zhuo Hua took the opportunity to leap and pass by the sides of the other two monsters.
The monster following closely behind Zhuo Hua couldn't brake in time, and its tail swung directly on the heads of the other two monsters. The third monster's attack also hit the first monster.
The three monsters fainted almost at the same time.
Song Hui pushed Su Xun to Zhuo Hua, seized the critical moment, flew forward, grabbed the rhizome and pulled it up by the roots.
The three monsters woke up at the same time and found that the places where beautiful flowers bloomed and sweet fruits grew were now empty.
Song Hui didn't dare to stay, and the three of them ran along the route they had previously explored.
The monsters reacted and roared angrily.
Most of the surrounding stone walls collapsed due to their reckless outburst, and even the only exit was completely blocked by rubble that fell from the mountain wall.
Obviously, after their anger, the three monsters calmed down and blocked the only way out. They wanted to catch the turtle in the jar.
Song Hui and the other two fled to a relatively safe place and stopped.
Zhuo Hua supported his knees with his hands, bent over, and panting. He raised his head, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, looked at the other two and said, "They... shouldn't be able to catch up, right?"
"It's temporary. It's only a matter of time before they catch up."
It would be strange if you would just let it go after you robbed someone of their treasure that they had worked so hard to guard day and night right in front of them.
Su Xun swallowed a pill and rubbed his chest. It took him a long time to recover.
Song Hui placed the flowers and fruit between the group. Because the situation was critical when he removed the flowers, the process was far from gentle. As a result, the once-delicate petals were heavily creased and slightly curled. The branches and leaves were not spared either, with many broken and drooping leaves.
One word: 'miserable'.
Only a few fruits hanging under the flower buds were intact.
There were five fruits on the flower. Song Hui was just about to ask how to divide them when he saw Zhuo Hua grab a flower and look at it carefully, making puzzled sounds of "Huh" from time to time.
Song Hui silently tightened his grip on his sword and asked calmly, "What's wrong with this spiritual plant?"
Zhuo Hua: "I think I recognize what kind of spiritual plant this is. I've seen it in my senior sister's book."
Because he had been helping Jian Mo for many years, he had read a lot of books about various spiritual plants.
It was normal that he didn't recognize her because he was far away at that time, but now he was watching her from such a close distance... Zhuo Hua's little heart started beating wildly with excitement again.
Su Xun then asked, "Can I eat it?"
Song Hui silently let go of the sword again.
He overestimated these two.
Zhuo Hua's face, which had been flushed with excitement, suddenly collapsed. He cried out in a lost voice, "It's over, it's over! If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Star Snow Lotus."
Su Xun was really confused.
Song Hui seemed to be lost in thought; he had known something about it.
Zhuo Hua continued, "Spiritual plants are also divided into common, rare, exceptional, and supreme treasures. The Star Snow Lotus is one of those supreme treasures. When it blooms, the fragrance it emits transforms into the purest spiritual energy, benefiting all living things around it. Its petals, when consumed, can make a person immune to all poisons. And the fruit it bears is even more magical, not only allowing a person to break through bottlenecks in their cultivation, but also tempering their physique and strengthening their soul."
After saying this, he revealed a look of despair: "But now such a precious spiritual plant has been ruined like this by us. If my senior sister knew, she would definitely beat me to death."
Su Xun was speechless, and offered a token of comfort: "If we don't tell her, Senior Sister Jian will never know."
Song Hui nodded with a cold face.
Although he wasn't an alchemist, he knew what was good. He'd only taken one look at the flower when he realized it was extraordinary. Now, after hearing Zhuo Hua's words, he really wanted to chop off his own claws. Why hadn't he been more gentle just now?
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's divide the spoils."
"It will be too late when the monster comes to kill us."
