Chapter 34 – Intense Battle

Chapter 34 Intense Battle

He looked down at the golden treasure chest before him, not daring to open it.

“It’s so easy to get here?” Xu Xin scanned his surroundings warily.

At this moment, he was in the center of the sea of yellow flowers, and the ground around him was filled with yellow flowers that were gently swaying

No matter how one looked at it, a sea of flowers in the middle of a poplar forest just seemed wrong. He shifted his gaze to the treasure chest in front of him. Could the problem be with the treasure chest?

The treasure chest was golden in color and was even bigger than the silver treasure chest. There was a keyhole on the chest, and it looked like an enlarged silver treasure chest, except for the color.

After some thought, Xu Xin took out the golden key. He couldn’t just stand here all day. The sea of flowers looked strange, and it was inevitable that something would happen if he kept standing here.

“Yin?” Cocoa, who was on his shoulder, tilted its head and looked at him in confusion.

“What’s wrong, Cocoa? What did you find?” Xu Xin stopped what she was doing. This was the second time he had heard Cocoa’s confused cry.

Was there a problem with him doing this?

Xu Xin looked at the treasure chest again.

Suddenly, he noticed that something was wrong. His expression turned serious and he took a step back.

He put away the golden key and looked at the treasure chest expressionlessly. Then, he suddenly exerted force into the stone spear in his hand and stabbed towards the treasure chest!

With a loud bang, the stone spear’s recoil made his purlicue hurt. What he heard was not the crisp sound of the stone spear hitting the metal treasure chest, but the sound of two stones hitting each other!

Stone fragments flew in all directions. Suddenly, the golden treasure chest in front of him turned illusory as if the space around it had become distorted. A strong sense of danger rose in Xu Xin’s heart once again. On the map, a red dot quickly lit up.

Even though the red dot was not completely lit up, it was already brighter than the black bear and the vines.

This was a tough enemy!

He connected the dots like lightning, and he only had one thought: Run!

He immediately ran to the nearest poplar tree, and as he ran, he turned his head to look back at where the treasure chest was.

After the illusory changes, the golden treasure chest was no longer there. All that was left was a rock the size of the treasure chest.

It was indeed fake!

At this moment, the rock shook violently. Suddenly, a crack appeared, and the crack gradually expanded with crisp cracking sounds.

With a “bang”, the rock shattered, and a huge blood-red flower quickly drilled out of the hole left behind by the broken rock! Its thick and thorny stem extended upwards, supporting the flower to a height of nearly ten meters!

The petals were eerily blood-red, dotted with densely-packed yellow spots. The stamen of the flower was deeply caved in, and the holes were filled with sharp red thorns. It was like the mouth of a lamprey, causing one’s hair to stand on end. The entire flower was facing Xu Xin’s direction like a bloody mouth!

“Another huge monster! Is this a man-eating flower?”

It took some time for the rock to shatter, so Xu Xin and Cocoa had successfully made it to the nearest poplar tree. The number of yellow flowers on the ground had decreased.

With something to hide behind, Xu Xin felt a little more at ease. However, Cocoa had also jumped down from his shoulder. It let out hoarse and sharp roars at the monster-like blood-red flower in the distance.

The man-eating flower’s terrifying pistil wriggled, and a sticky liquid flowed out of its bloody mouth. Xu Xin suddenly smelled a very pungent flower fragrance, and his entire mind suddenly went into a trance.

Fortunately, he was prepared and knew that the flower would affect one’s mind, so he pinched himself hard.

When he regained his senses, a few thorny branches were already in front of his eyes!

Xu Xin immediately leaned back, and the branches grazed the tip of his nose and brushed past his face!

At the same time, another branch fell from the sky, as if it was going to pierce through him and pin him to the ground!

In the face of danger, Xu Xin threw away the stone spear in his hand and used both hands to support himself, doing a side flip and dodging the second branch by a hair’s breadth.

The ground where he had been standing was like soft tofu where a large section of the branch that came from the sky directly pierced into it!

Xu Xin, who had dodged the second branch, had yet to catch his breath when a strong sense of danger came from behind him again. Without a second thought, he pounced to the side.

With a cracking sound, the poplar tree in front of him was cut in half at the waist and fell to the ground with a bang.

To think the man-eating flower’s branches could break a tree with one sweep!

After rolling on the ground, Xu Xin quickly stood up.

Under the influence of the fragrance, he felt that his movements were getting slower and slower, as if there was something heavy on his back. He panted heavily, but the more he panted, the more fragrance he inhaled, and the more dazed his mind became.

Xu Xin once again dodged the attack of the man-eating flower’s branch, but he felt that his feet were suddenly bound by something. He looked down only to see another branch!

“Damn it!” Before Xu Xin could react, his ankle was pulled by the branch and he was suspended in mid-air, pulled towards the pistil of the man-eating flower.

“Yin, yin, yin!” Cocoa was letting out cries anxiously from below. It was not attacked by the man-eating flower as if the latter was not interested in it. All the attacks from the flower’s branches were directed at Xu Xin.

Seeing Xu Xin being dragged into the air, Cocoa charged towards the man-eating flower’s roots. All the branches that were flying in the air came from the roots.

Just as Xu Xin was about to be thrown into the man-eating flower’s mouth, Cocoa bit down on the root of the branch that was binding his ankle.

The branch trembled and stopped slightly. Seizing the chance, Xu Xin immediately took out the stone ax from his backpack and ruthlessly chopped at the pistil that was very close to his head.

It felt as if he was cutting wood, and the man-eating flower let out a shrill scream. The sound was like a sharp whistle, coming from the pistil that was like a bloody mouth.

At the same time, the vine around Xu Xin’s ankle loosened and he fell on the blood-red petals.

The texture of the petals was very similar to the texture of flesh. The yellow bumps on the petals were like sarcomas. The touch made Xu Xin’s hair stand on end, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his arms.

The stone axe was useful! Axe-like tools were very effective against plants! As Xu Xin thought about it, he struck out viciously, swinging his ax at the meaty flower petals.

The man-eating flower was in pain and let out a blood-curdling screech again. The huge flower trembled intensely, and its petals suddenly opened before quickly closing inward.

“Oh no, this flower wants to trap me inside!” Xu Xin’s expression changed drastically, and he began to swing his ax at the petals.

To his surprise, the petals suddenly stopped. The stone axe in Xu Xin’s hand landed on the petals due to inertia. With a “kacha”, the blade of the axe buried itself into the thick petals.

“What’s going on?” Xu Xin stood in the middle of the half-closed flower, his heart beating violently while his hand that was holding the axe trembled slightly.

With a little force, he pulled the axe out of the petal, and the petal that had been chopped by the ax gradually cracked along the crack created by the ax, then broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

Xu Xin touched the other petals with his hand. The texture of flesh had become very hard. With a little force, the petals were crushed like dried biscuits.

It was the same situation again. Just like the vines around the copper treasure chest, they attacked him a few times before becoming dry and brittle as if they had been sucked dry of water, shattering with a touch.

Fortunately, the man-eating flower’s flower bud had leaned forward when it closed, so the flower was only about three meters above the ground. Xu Xin grabbed the fragile edge of the flower’s core and hung himself on it. He then let go and jumped down easily.

As for the man-eating flower’s dry and brittle specimen-like body, it broke apart under Xu Xin’s actions, and the huge flower fell to the ground, shattering.
