Chapter 109: Moonlight Flower

  That evening, the officer walked up to Fass with a lingering fear in his heart, looked at him and asked: "What's going on? Who is that person?"

  The lawyer shook his head.

  At this time, the three Xianluo Xue sisters also walked out of the wooden forest, but at this time they were wearing dirty and old clothes, with mud and dust on their faces, and their original beautiful appearance could no longer be seen. They had an adventurous spirit about them.

  So Yu Xi and Fa Xi just looked at them tensely too.

  "Hello, I'm Shul, and this is my companion, Pingster." The officer introduced himself.

  Zhuo Xue and the others just glanced at them a few times, but didn't say anything. Instead, they watched intently in the direction where Xiao Chen had left. Although they were very confident in Xiao Chen, those seven Iron-boned Snow Leopards were not to be trifled with. Even magical beasts would avoid their sharp claws.

  Schul and Pingster exchanged a glance, both of their eyes revealing a hint of retreat.

  If that man hadn't lured away the Iron Bone Panther, and it came back, they would be dead for sure... So the two of them quietly retreated backwards.

  "Are you leaving?" Kuroyuki suddenly turned around and asked in a cold tone.

  Schul and Pingster stiffened slightly, Schul awkwardly smiled: "No, we just went to the side, rested for a moment."

  Two people walked aside and sat down.

  Galo Xue turned her head and continued to gaze in the direction where Xiao Chen had left with her twin sisters.

  "Go." Shul suddenly made a gesture with his mouth, then turned around and ran back, Pingster also hurried to catch up.

  Hiss! Hiss!

  Two shells whizzed in from a distance, hitting the muddy ground they were trampling on with a loud thud! Thud! Two deep craters appeared, and the two men jumped in fright. A cold, detached voice came over: "Where are you going?"

  A dark-haired and dark-skinned figure stood there in their midst, gazing at them.

  "Master!" Xue Bi Xue Tong turned her head and exclaimed: "How did you run back from that direction, are you crazy?"

  They just saw Xiao Chen running south, but then he came back from the north.

  Schulz and Pingster stood there, their faces also changed. Schulz smiled: "No, didn't go there, this little brother, Tiegu...".

  "He was easily led away by me." Xiao Chen said calmly.

  His comprehension speed was originally extremely fast, and with the addition of two perfect elixirs, it's not an exaggeration to say that he was swift as lightning. Even the leopard-class fierce beast known for its speed was left spinning around in circles by his velocity. After leading it into a complex terrain, Xiao Chen accelerated his speed, circled back quickly, and coincidentally bumped into this Rain person who wanted to escape.

  Xiao Chen's calm attitude made Shu Er and Ping Shi both startled.

  As adventurers, they knew countless people and naturally understood that someone who could face the leopard so lightly was definitely not easy to mess with.

  So they didn't look down on Xiao Chen because of his age.

  "Little brother is really a hero this time, we owe it to you, otherwise we would have fallen into the tiger's mouth." Shu said with a flattering tone.

  "Don't thank me, I didn't save you for nothing. What did you just say? Do you still remember?" Xiao Chen stared at Shu Er.

  Shu's face changed, he had just boasted earlier, saying something about a reward of one million gold coins and that he knew the location where Xu Buling medicine grew...... He smiled slightly, opening his eyes: "Of course, of course I remember."

  "Little brother, I don't have a million gold coins on me right now. Can it wait until we get out of the Dark Forest?"

  When Pingster heard Shul's words, his face changed color, wanting to say something, but was fiercely stared at by Bo Shul.

  Xiao Chen did not object and said, "The matter of the gold coins can be discussed later, but I have another request. Take me to where the Moonlight Flower grows. I need one Moonlight Flower."

  "No problem." Shu'er readily agreed: "Moon-colored flowers, I know, I'll definitely take you there. You guys wait for a bit first."

  Schulz and Pingster walked to the bodies of their three miserable companions, collected the remaining medicine, money bags, and weapons from them. Their careful movements made Galoshuo and others slightly frown.

  Then they gathered up the remains of the three men and Shul threw out a large fire crystal, burning their companions' remains to ashes.

  In a slightly safer place, Shu and Pingster first treated their wounds, then ate and drank to replenish their energy. Xiao Chen and the three women sat silently on one side, Shu said: "I know a moon-colored flower growth point, 100 kilometers away from here, if we speed up, we can arrive within two days."

  Two days later, in the depths of the Night Forest.

  A group of six people walked out, and it was Shu Er, Ping Si Te, and Xiao Chen's four people.

  They trudged through the dark forest for two days, trying to avoid the territories of those ferocious beasts. Despite this, they still encountered over a dozen battles, and everyone was covered in dust and looked exhausted.

  However, it also made Shu and others discover that except for Xiao Chen's strength being somewhat uneven, the other three women's strengths didn't seem to be strong, they were just six-star mages.

  Schulz is a 9-star Fencer and Pirst is an 8-star Swordsman. Their combat experience is in no way inferior to the three women's.

  "We're here, it's just up ahead."

  In front of us, a huge whirlpool appeared, with misty clouds and ripples on the lake's surface. A layer of pale purple fog was slowly flowing.

  "This is the Violet Mist Lake in the Night-colored Forest, can you see it? On the lake's center, there is a small island, and on that island, there is a growth point for Moonlight Flowers," Shul said.

  " Dense fog." Xiao Chen looked at the map, this place was not marked, it seemed that they had already entered the edge of the Night Forest 300 kilometers deep. According to legend, this was also the boundary where magical beasts roamed, and going deeper would be extremely dangerous.

  They stopped by the Purple Mist Lake, and suddenly Gāluò Xuě spoke up: "You all know there are Moonlight Flowers here, so why didn't you come to pick them?"

  Her eyes stared at Shule with suspicion, after the Das Purple incident, the vigilance of the three women had increased a lot.

  Shu'er smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be fooled, this Purple Mist Lake is not a good place to venture into. There's a Purple Flowered Poisonous Python in the lake, it's a top-notch ferocious beast, even more ruthless than the Iron Bone Leopard. And the Moonlight Flower seems useless too, why must we risk our lives to pick it?"

  Although the moon-colored flower is a precious medicine, it's not commonly used. Even Xian Luo Xue and others only knew that the moon-colored flower was one of the medicinal materials for configuring the Rejuvenating Elixir from Xiao Chen.

  So Shul's interpretation can also be justified.

  "The purple mist on the lake is the highly toxic gas released from the Purple Flower Snake's body. Unless you're a Sword Master or a Magician of higher level, touching it means instant death. It's an incurable poison." Shule said with a face full of fear.

  "Poison screen, what's the point of having an antidote if I can just dispel it with a flick of my wrist?" Denox sneered in Xiao Chen's mind.

  Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he definitely wouldn't say anything.

  "However, Xiao Chen little brother saved our lives, we must return the favor. At midnight, this poisonous python will come out to absorb the purple mist on the lake surface back into its body for refinement. At that time, I and Ping Si Te will lure away that Purple Flower Python, then Xiao Chen brother you are fast, can quickly enter Lake Heart Island to pick the Moon Color Flower."

  "Xiao Chen, brother, you must hurry up, the Purple Flower Snake is too strong, we can't hold on for much longer. It's best to pick the Moonlight Flower within ten minutes, if not, we'll have to give up and think of another way." Shu reminded kindly.

  "I think I can." Xiao Chen nodded.

  At rest, waiting for midnight to arrive, three women surrounded Xiao Chen's side. Jia Luo Xue said in a low voice: "Xiao Chen, do you believe them?"

  "Yes, young master, let's be careful, just in case..." Xue Wei also had some misgivings.

  "It's nothing." Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he nodded silently.

  Time flows, midnight, shame arrives, the surroundings gradually darken, except for the moonlight, which casts a faint reflection on the surface of the water.

  Six people hid behind a rock on the edge of Xiang and watched. Suddenly, the water on the surface of the lake rippled slightly.

  "It's here!" Shu'er's eyes narrowed, and he whispered. The ripples on the water grew larger and larger, forming a loud gurgling sound. On the surface of the lake, a huge shadow emerged, a jet-black, triangular-shaped giant head covered in purple flowers rose from the surface, two purple eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

  Only to see that belly bag facing the sky, slowly spitting out a long thread, its mouth wide open, presenting an angle of nearly 80 degrees up and down, the sharp teeth shining with a cold light in the night, whooshing, the wind blowing around, the purple mist on the water's surface swirling like a small dragon rushing into the big snake's mouth.

  Before long, the purple mist on the lake surface was almost absorbed, and the big snake spat out its snake letter with satisfaction.

  "Alright, now's the time, let's go." Shul and Phestos leapt out.

  A flame suddenly appeared in Shu's hand, and he fiercely threw the snake head at Xiang's face. The long spear shot out a long tail in the night sky...

  The giant snake's gaze suddenly turned towards the long spear, its large mouth opened wide and let out a sharp hiss, as if it was furious that someone had disturbed its cultivation. Whoosh! A huge snake tail whipped out from the water's surface and struck the flame-patterned spear, causing it to shatter into four or five pieces with a hissing sound.

  The water's surface churned and foamed with massive waves, as half of the giant snake's body emerged from the lake.

  "Wow, it's huge!" The people hiding behind the rocks, including Xiao Chen, could now see the body of the Purple Flower Python clearly. Its body stood upright on the surface of the water, as thick as a bucket, and was at least 10 meters long, not counting its underwater body.

  The purple flower snake spat out its venom, a purple mist shot towards Shu'er on the shore.

  Schul hastily activated his defensive magic and crushed a rapid scroll, his body flying backward.

  The purple mist chased up, dyeing a bit of Shu Er's yellow protective cover, and the cover suddenly flashed with a burst of light. Shu Er was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he hastily pointed his toes to flee for his life, barely escaping the poisonous mist. As soon as he escaped, the yellow protective cover on his body also dissipated into countless elemental dots.

  "Run!" Shu burrowed into the bushes and fled in a hurry.

  How could the Purple Flowered Snake possibly let a human who disturbed its cultivation escape, it let out a strange hiss and split into a white wave, it quickly chased after, in an instant, it had already climbed up onto the shore, revealing its entire body, which was about 25-26 meters long, its whole body covered in terrifying purple stripes, constantly oozing out black venom, making one's hair stand on end.

  The purple flower viper burst through a thicket of shrubs, wherever she crawled, trees snapped, and black smoke spewed out from the broken wood.

  Its speed was incredibly fast, rapidly closing the distance with Shul.

  At this time, a ray of light burst out from the darkness, Ping Si took action, he jumped down from a tree and stabbed at the seven inches of the Purple Flower Poisonous Snake.

  Ahh!

  With a loud crash, he struck with all his might, but surprisingly only broke off a scale of the giant poisonous python, penetrating less than an inch deep. For such a huge poisonous python, this wound was as trivial as a mosquito bite.

  However, the dignity of the purple flower viper was still offended, and a cold light appeared in its purple eyes, sweeping its giant tail.

  Boom!

  Ping Sheng's chest was hit by the giant tail, and a surge of unstoppable force came rushing in. His expensive, specially-made long sword snapped with a loud crack as the snake-like tail continued to sweep across his chest. He shot out like a cannonball for dozens of meters before crashing into a thicket of bushes.

  At the same time, Xiao Chen also jumped out from behind the stone.

  His feet were surrounded by a green aura, that was the power of the Wind-Removing Tree. Before he started running, he had already taken down the Cat-Eyed Grass and the Gale Medicine.

  Like a phantom, he burst out and ran directly onto the water's surface. Because of the wind-resistant wood, his body was as light as a swan feather, and when he stepped on the water's surface, only a tiny ripple appeared. In high-speed mode, he directly trampled the water's surface and charged towards the small island 200 meters away.

  A distance of two hundred meters, under Xiao Chen's rapid pace, was traversed in an instant.

  As soon as he set foot on this small island in the middle of the lake, a thick and heavy mist hit him in the face. The ground was covered with green, slippery moss-like plants, and there were some nauseatingly sticky liquids. The small island didn't seem very big, so Xiao Chen started running towards its center.

  Racing across the slippery rock face, in the center of the small island, there was a half-standing stone mountain, and a huge black cave floated at the foot of the mountain wall.

  Xiao Chen flew quickly around the area, but couldn't find any trace of Yuexing Hua. He stared blankly at the giant black tear.

  Hesitating for a moment, he heard the eerie howling of the purple flower snake coming from this place. Xiao Chen quickly made up his mind and drank a bottle of antidote before walking towards the huge black hole. Inside, it was pitch black, and as soon as he entered, a pungent smell that was suffocating wafted out.

  On the ground, it's all sticky and clear.

  "This looks like the tear hole of that snake. Xiaochen felt that the smell on his body was similar to the smell on Jiangshi's body."

  His eyes faintly emitted a layer of white light, with his spiritual power, even in the darkest places, it was as if he was walking on flat ground.

  "Be more careful, master." Musuno Kusu also floated out.

  As I walked along this huge tear hole, the sound of water droplets came from inside. The view in front of me gradually opened up, and a faint light appeared. As I approached, I found that a elegant white flower was growing on a protruding stone key.

  White petals flutter like a crescent moon shape, emitting a faint misty glow.

  "Is it a moon-colored flower or a six-petaled leaf? This flower is sixty years old." Musashi said with slight surprise.
