Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 108 Iris Demon Flower

In the valley east of the Blue Mountain Forest, Mo Fan asked, "Commander, why are these plants all blue-purple? Could they all be plants possessed by those strange leaves?" Zhang Chen listened to the sound of the surrounding plants rustling in the wind while collecting the plants needed for the mission.

He didn't hear Mo Fan's voice, and frowned slightly as he asked, "Why is there no sound here?"

His mental power sensed overwhelming hostility around him; it seemed that everything around them, except for the earth and air, was hostile. It was at this moment that the spatial barrier around them shattered.

Zhang Chen quickly used his spatial powers to cover the area and shouted, "Come closer, everyone!"

But no one responded. He turned to look and saw that everyone was mouthing but not making a sound. A surge of mental energy entered Zhang Chen's spiritual world, and he immediately connected with it. In his mind, he heard Jiang Shaoxu's somewhat panicked voice: "Zhang Chen! What's going on!?"

Zhang Chen used his mental power to scan the six people around him, signaling them not to move. The surrounding environment had definitely changed, and if they ran around, they wouldn't be able to tell who was who.

Fortunately, they were close together, so Zhang Chen didn't have much trouble maintaining their defenses.

Mo Fan was already sketching one constellation after another. Zhang Chen saw a pale white fire feather falling from the sky and instantly enveloped it with chaotic light. At the same time, Nan Rongni's blessing power surrounded Mo Fan, expanding the range of the flames by more than double. Zhang Chen once again took out the Sacred Tree.

Zhang Chen could clearly feel the hostile creatures around him disappearing rapidly, but the next second, even more hostile creatures arrived from all directions, seemingly inexhaustible. In a low valley on the east side of the Blue Mountain Forest, Jiang Yu asked, "What's going on here? Judging from how fresh the soil is, it was just turned over! As far as I know, the Blue Mountain Forest is mainly inhabited by plant demons, and there don't seem to be any giant demons that like to dig up trees!" He looked at the huge empty space in front of him without a single plant and asked in confusion.

Ai Jiangtu said with a grave expression, "I don't know! But we need to find Mo Fan and the others quickly!"

They first went to the mountaintop, which was used as a base by the crowd. After finding no one there, they followed the trail and discovered that Zhang Chen and his group had also gone to the east. Then, Ai Jiangtu and his group followed Grace and the others to the east. After climbing up the valley, they saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

The tree spirits were like workers on an assembly line. They uprooted the plant spirits behind them and handed them to the plant spirits in front of them. These plant spirits were at least a hundred meters tall.

Then, with the help of the plant spirits in front, they uprooted themselves and were transported by the plant spirits to some unknown place, leaving behind patches of revitalized land.

Lily's mouth gaped slightly, and she said in shock, "The direction they are heading is the same direction I sensed the Iris Demon Flower, and these plant demons have all been assimilated."

Grace replied decisively, "Let's speed up! Our distinguished guests may be in trouble."

Inside the Valley of the Dead Sound, Zhang Chen sensed the continuous stream of creatures arriving, and a ripple of emotion swept through everyone's hearts as he said, "Let's fly upwards in a bit!"

Let's talk outside!

The power of the mind then transmitted to Jiang Shaoxu: "First, sense where Nan Rongni is. Go and grab her, and I'll lead you all in a bit."

"good!"

"alright!"

Following his telepathic connection with Jiang Shaoxu, Zhang Chen arrived at Jiang Shaoxu's side. In Zhang Chen's vision, it was clearly a large rock. Zhang Chen reached out and touched it, and soon found two human bodies. He then tucked them under his arms.

Then, he spread his mental power to everyone and said, "Let's go!"

Zhang Chen transformed the original protective barrier into a giant transparent sphere covering a radius of fifty meters, enveloping everyone and flying upwards.

Just as it took off, the sphere was subjected to a series of attacks, and then the entire sphere seemed to be pulled down by something.

Zhang Chen confirmed that everyone was inside the sphere, so he compressed the sphere to half its original size, causing a sudden increase in speed. They immediately broke free from the constraints below and continued to fly upwards despite the attacks from above.

After flying a little higher, Zhang Chen finally heard some sounds.

A violent gust of wind came from above. Zhang Chen immediately controlled the sphere to shrink by half again. Then, Zhang Chen led the sphere to make a strange turn, directly dodging the thing coming down from above.

They seemed to burst out of the illusion in one breath, and saw the valley filled with countless blue-purple plant demons. Their red demonic eyes stared out like countless scarlet stars staining the purple sky.

Zhang Chen keenly observed that among the countless blood-red stars, there was a green star surrounded by other stars; it must be the demon of the strange leaf.

The demon was exactly like the iris flower, resembling a giant purple butterfly with its wings folded and briefly resting. Its wings were decorated with a ring of blue patterns around the edges. Its three petals curled downwards like the elegant hindwings of a butterfly, while the other three petals stood upright, fluttering in the breeze like the forewings of a butterfly. The whole thing presented an asymmetrical balance and agility.

Zhang Chen thought for a moment but did not make a move. He led the group to fly up a little further. When Zhang Chen looked down again, he found that the mastermind's position had changed. Moreover, there were several strange plants with their leaves open and flying around where he had just looked down. Their tails had sharp thorns, and they were chasing after Zhang Chen and his group of six.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen still didn't understand. He hadn't left the illusion yet; it was trying to lure him into making a move. This kind of demon was truly cunning.

Mo Fan directly burned all the pursuing plant demons to ashes. The iris demon flower below seemed to bend slightly and sigh when it saw this. Then, surrounded by the plant demons, it quickly left. Zhang Chen and the other seven watched it leave quietly, afraid that it was up to some other scheme, and did not try to stop it.

The seven of them then flew out of the Blue Mountain Forest. They hadn't flown far when they spotted Grace and her group. The six of them were very cautious and only sent Mo Fan down to talk to them.

After a short while, Mo Fan waved for them to get down, and they breathed a sigh of relief. After getting down to the ground, Zhang Chen put Nan Rongni down on the ground.

Somewhat amused, he said to Jiang Shaoxu, who was clinging to his other arm, "Hey! We're on the ground! I thought you were fearless! I didn't expect you to be afraid of heights!"

"Oh oh ———— okay!" Jiang Shaoxu quickly got down from Zhang Chen's arms. Her legs were probably still weak. She almost fell after landing, but Zhang Chen caught her quickly.

"Hahaha!----"

He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jiang Shaoxu's flushed face, and naturally received a glare in return.

Grace asked Mo Fan where the iris demon flower had gone, and then immediately led her people in pursuit in the direction Mo Fan pointed.

After Zhang Chen and his group met up with Ai Jiangtu, they completed the remaining two tasks together and returned to the Sydney Botanical Association to hand in their missions. They did not encounter any more Iris Demon Flowers along the way.
