It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 688 Seed of Life
The weasel shook its head and held up its phone: [His main card is the Hundred-Armed Giant.]

“Then he must have a monkey in his side suit!” Feng Ling said with certainty.

The weasel shook its head again. Before it could type on its phone, Huangfu Miaomiao interrupted, "He doesn't have any side cards, he only has one card in his body! ...Now he has an extra Minotaur card that you gave him."

Blue Weasel: "…………"

Huangfu Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at it, her face full of smugness.

Despite already possessing two high-level cards, Pashan was still trembling with fear, hiding behind Ling Feiran and unwilling to approach Feng Ling.

Feng Ling stared at him suspiciously, "Really only two cards? Then what about the markings on his body..."

“It’s genetic contamination,” Ling Feiran explained. “Pashan is infected.”

“Oh, I forgot just now,” Feng Ling murmured, “Infected people… well, they’re both unlucky and lucky.”

Feng Ling ignored Pa Shan and let Qing You continue picking cards for Pei Xianjue and Lin Pengpeng.

The weasel picked a Chimera card for Pei Xianjue.

They encountered difficulties when trying to choose cards for Lin Pengpeng.

Because Lin Pengpeng's card, the Heron, is a mid-tier card, while all the cards Feng Ling kept were high-tier cards. Only two Siamese Crocodiles were obtained when she killed the giant lizard, but the Siamese Crocodiles were clearly not suitable for Lin Pengpeng.

Lin Pengpeng felt a little disappointed, but she pretended to be relaxed and said, "It doesn't matter. What's meant to be will be. Many things depend on fate. I just need to do my best."

Feng Ling flipped through the remaining cards, but there were none suitable, so she simply stopped mentioning them and led the group to continue on their way.

After passing the maze statues, there is a passageway covered with flowers.

The flowers were extremely beautiful, not in the crowded abundance seen elsewhere, but rather in a balanced density and natural wildness, with each color perfectly placed.

The weasel reminded Feng Ling that their journey from disorder to order, and the control over their growth power, indicated that this path was likely the path to the Lord of the Labyrinth.

As Feng Ling walked, she sighed, "I originally came in to find something to eat and replenish my energy, but I didn't even find a mosquito before I had to meet the maze boss."

Speaking of mosquitoes, the flower crown fairy emerges from the pouch of the wind feathers, flaps its wings, and buzzes towards the flowers and grasses to suck up dew and nectar—this is the first decent "meal" it has eaten since it was born.

Due to limited resources, they can only consume jelly or animal blood.

Pei Xianjue smiled and comforted Feng Ling: "Although there is no food, the environment here is conducive to everyone's recovery. I feel that my energy has recovered to about one-third."

“Yes, I also feel that my condition has improved a lot,” Lin Pengpeng added.

Fengling believes that the environment of this maze is similar to the function of the nest; any creature that gets close to the nest will have its status rise sharply.

"The maze boss's lair should be up ahead. Let's come back and kill it next time."

Feng Ling stopped, feeling there was no need to go any further. She didn't care about herself if a boss battle was triggered, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to take care of her friends behind her.

Ling Feiran and Pei Xianjue had just escaped from the Mountain Demon and Chaos, so there was no need for them to face the maze boss again.

“Um… Little Lamb! Little Fairy? Little Sheep? Come back!” Feng Ling called out to the Flower Crown Fairy a few times, muttering, “It’s really inconvenient not having a name.”

Huangfu Miaomiao asked, "Why don't you give it a name?"

“It’s so annoying,” Feng Ling complained. “Last time I racked my brains and put all my effort into coming up with two names, but those two bastards died in the blink of an eye. What a waste of two good names.”

"Oh...that's really frustrating." Huangfu Miaomiao nodded in understanding.

Ye Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, they put a lot of effort into choosing these names. One is called 'Roll,' and the other is called 'Ball.'"

Huangfu Miaomiao: "…………" Feng Ling turned to look at Ye Zheng, "Don't think I didn't put in the effort just because the names are simple. These two names are a perfect match for them, okay?"

Ye Zheng scoffed, "I almost named it Niu Dao before."

"What's wrong with Niu Dao?" Feng Ling said righteously. "It's easy to read, catchy, and has a good meaning!"

“Okay,” Ye Zheng pointed to the flower crown fairy slowly flying back in the distance, “Since you think it’s good, then let’s call it Bull Knife.”

"Alright, let's call it Bull Knife~" Feng Ling looked at the Flower Crown Fairy, which was flying swaying from side to side, its four thin goat hooves holding something, making its flight extremely difficult.

Feng Ling stepped forward, quickly reaching out to support the flower crown fairy, and blurted out, "Where did you get this from...?"

薅？
Exploiting loopholes?
A flash of inspiration in my mind—

Feng Ling turned around excitedly and said to Ye Zheng, "I've got it! I've got the name! We'll call it Wool! Hahaha~"

To everyone's surprise, Huangfu Miaomiao was even more excited than her, and almost jumped up on the spot!

"Seed of Life!" Huangfu Miaomiao shouted, pointing at the small object the flower crown fairy was holding. "A disposable prop!"

Everyone was taken aback and crowded around to take a closer look.

For the Flower Crown Fairy, it would be a heavy burden that would affect her flight, but for humans, it was just a tiny thing, the most plump and tender sunflower seed in shape, green and covered with a layer of extremely fine fuzz.

Ye Zheng asked, "What's the use of this?"

Huangfu Miaomiao picked up the seed from Feng Ling's hand, and more prompts immediately popped up on the virtual screen.

She beamed, "It can restore 100% of my energy!"

"Really?" Feng Ling exclaimed in shock. "There are such overpowered items in the maze?"

The flower crown fairy took off with a buzzing sound, grabbed the seed of life in Huangfu Miaomiao's hand, and tried to take it back.

Huangfu Miaomiao handed the seed of life to Feng Ling, her eyes full of anticipation, "Feng Ling, why don't you try eating it!"

Feng Ling was still skeptical, carefully pinching the seed between her fingers, "Won't there be any side effects...?"

Huangfu Miaomiao said confidently, "No way! The system won't use any wording traps in the item descriptions."

Feng Ling glanced at the green weasel.

The weasel didn't react either, so the item is probably fine. I just don't know why the maze is designed this way. There's an item that can restore all energy so close to the boss. Is that right?

Feng Ling thought for a moment: That makes sense. We're about to fight the boss, so we need to get the players back to their best condition.

With the logic clear, Feng Ling casually popped the seed into her mouth—its shell was thinner than a sunflower seed's, melting easily with a gentle touch. A cool liquid slid down her tongue and into her throat, carrying a faint floral scent.

"How are you feeling right now?" Ye Zheng asked, staring at her face.

"It feels..." Feng Ling slowly savored the memory, "I'd like another one."

"Pfft~" Lin Pengpeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Huangfu Miaomiao beamed, "I knew it! It would definitely work."

The flower crown fairy grew anxious, flying in circles in front of Feng Ling before heading back to the end of the road.

Although they cannot speak human language, they can communicate with the mother nest.

Feng Ling understood its meaning, lifted her foot and followed, saying, "Let's go, there are many more seeds of life ahead."
