Chapter 1302. Searching for the Netherworld Flower (17)

After walking about twenty steps, the scene ahead suddenly became eerie.

Ordinary hydrangeas have bright white petals and blue stamens, but the petals of the flowers in front of me had a faint gray mist around the edges, and the stamens were a dark ink color, which was out of place with the surrounding bright flowers.

The branches of these flowers don't grow like ordinary plants; instead, they resemble living tentacles, slowly stretching towards her, with tiny barbs on the branches.

Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped, staring warily at the mutated flower plants.

Just as she was about to step back and go around it, the vines under her feet suddenly wrapped around her, binding her ankles tightly like iron chains, with barbs digging deep into her skin, causing a sharp pain.

Since invisibility had no effect on the flowers, Lin Xi simply stopped using invisibility and immediately appeared.

The dark-colored stamens of the several dark-colored flowers released a thick gray mist. The mist spread and entered her nostrils, making her feel dizzy for a moment. Her parents' smiles began to appear before her eyes again.

Lin Xi gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to close her eyes, and smashed the plastic hammer that appeared in her hand hard against the flower vine wrapped around her ankle.

With a sharp "sizzle," the vine was snapped in two, and dark green sap oozed from the broken end, emitting a pungent stench.

She dared not linger and quickly took a few steps back to avoid the attacks of the mutated flower plants. The wound on her ankle was burning with pain, but she dared not be distracted at all.

The viewers in the live stream were terrified.

—Holy shit!
—And there are also mutated flower plants!
—It actually attacks people on its own initiative!
—123 still has to summon her all-powerful hammer.

—Is 123 injured?

Lin Xi composed herself and scanned the sea of ​​flowers once more.

She discovered that the mutated plants seemed to form an irregular circle, as if they were guarding something in the center of the circle.

She took a deep breath, summoned a small knife and held it in her hand, bypassing the area where the mutated flowers were gathered, and quietly approached the center of the circle from the side.

Upon reaching the center, Lin Xi's eyes finally lit up.

Amidst a vibrant array of delicate flowers, stands a unique and distinctive plant.

Its petals are pure milky white, without any other color, and its stamens are dazzling golden yellow, like a tiny sun embedded in the flower, radiating a soft and pure halo.

This halo was completely different from the eerie halo of the surrounding flowers. When you got close to it, the hallucinatory aura in your body instantly dissipated, your mind became exceptionally clear, and even the pain in your ankle lessened.

Lin Xi carefully stepped forward and gently picked the special flower. As soon as she held it in her hand, a golden halo began to spread outwards like ripples on water.

Wherever the halo passed, the eerie halo of the surrounding Ghost Marrow Flowers gradually faded, and the originally rich, psychedelic fragrance became refreshing.

The golden halo spreads like warm water overflowing a dam, layer by layer, through the sea of ​​flowers.

Wang Xiaoyue was the first to react. She frowned, as if she had encountered some obstacle in her dream. Her fingers curled slightly, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.

The vibrant sea of ​​flowers vanished in an instant, replaced by darkness. The intoxicating fragrance no longer lingered around the nose, but instead carried the cold scent of dust and rusted metal.

"Where is this..." Wang Xiaoyue shook her groggy head, and seeing Lin Xi beside her and the special flower stalk radiating golden light in her hand, she instantly woke up. "Xiao Bei, are we out of the illusion?"

Lin Xi nodded and carefully put the special flower plant into her backpack.

"This flower can dispel illusions, quickly help awaken the others."

—I can only say it again, it has to be 123.

—I couldn't even make out what was in the ancient book.

—I didn't see it either. —I thought I'd have to wake them up one by one.

—Impossible, 123 doesn't know what's in their dreams!
—This time, the audience won't even see the dream sequence. They're trying to awaken them with their obsessions, but that's simply impossible.

So, that statement was just a smokescreen?
Where is this again?
The two divided the work, and Lin Xi walked to Wu Qingquan's side and gently patted his shoulder.

Wu Qingquan's eyes were vacant until Lin Xi swept the halo of light from the special flower plant across his cheek. He shuddered and snapped back to his senses, his confusion replaced by pain.

I don't know what was in his dream, but he seemed very sad.

"Now is not the time to be sad. We need to figure out where we are first," Lin Xi said in a low voice.

Zhou Lili was woken up by Wang Xiaoyue pinching her arm. She opened her eyes and burst into tears, not because of the beauty of the illusion, but because the fear in the dream had not yet dissipated.

"I dreamt that those dark figures came to grab me again... It was terrifying!"

Chen Luoxue, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. She did not panic after waking up, but immediately observed her surroundings and quickly realized that something was wrong.

"The illusion has vanished, but we are no longer on the edge of a cliff, nor in a sea of ​​flowers."

Zhang Ting woke up on her own; she opened her eyes as soon as Lin Xi walked up to her.

Su Qing was the last to wake up. As a member of the Spirit Clan, she was most deeply affected by the illusion. The aura of the special flower lingered on her for a full half minute before she slowly opened her eyes. Her face was still pale, but her eyes were much clearer.

As soon as she sat up, her eyes lit up.

"This is... the sealing hall of the Spirit Race!"

--arrive?
—We've arrived at our destination!

—It's been a long journey, but we've finally arrived.

—I actually miss those dating scenarios now.

--Me too.

—Players can eat and sleep as they please, and spend their free time watching Meng Ye's love story. It's really great!
— Dating on your own is not bad either; you usually won't fail to complete the task.

--yes!

—You guys forgot that when you were having your romance adventures, you also missed the tense and exciting ones.

Following her gaze, everyone noticed their surroundings.

This is an extremely spacious hall with a dome that seems to reach the top. It is inlaid with countless luminous crystals, like stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

The surrounding walls were made of dark blue-green rock, covered with densely packed spirit runes. The runes shimmered with a faint white light and emitted powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

The floor of the hall is made of a single piece of white jade, polished smooth as a mirror, reflecting the crystalline light of the dome.

In the very center of the hall stood a huge circular altar, made of lapis lazuli and also covered with Elven runes.

Around the altar stood eight stone pillars with coiled dragons, each carved with lifelike mythical beasts of the Spirit Clan, their heads facing the center of the altar as if guarding something.

Above the altar, a plant emitting a shimmering white light floated.

This must be the real Ghost Essence Flower they've been searching for!
