The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

These plants and trees seem to have come alive!

Liu Wuji and the others stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

Could this be a plant-based monster? No, it should be a strange beast!

But whether they are monsters or strange beasts, they are all individual creatures. However, the plants in the oasis are clearly not from the same plant, but rather a group.

Surprised, the group turned to look at Lu Yuan beside them.

He seemed to have figured it out a long time ago.

"It's not a group; the entire oasis is a single, monstrous beast!"

Lu Yuan's expression was serious as he explained in a deep voice.

Upon arrival, thanks to his exceptional mental strength, he could vaguely sense a hidden killing intent!

After repeated confirmation, it was finally confirmed that it was indeed this oasis itself.

Sure enough, after only a short while, it revealed its true form: this oasis was a strange beast.

"So that's how it is..."

"As expected of a strange beast, it truly transcends the norm."

The group looked again at the faintly moving oasis, nodded slightly, and were even more astonished.

The methods of these strange beasts are indeed unexpected.

Disguised as an oasis, once an animal enters to drink or rest, it has already fallen into its "mouth".

Compared to the giant 'sandworm' that lurked beneath the sand that we encountered before, this beast's hunting methods were clearly much more sophisticated.

"etc!"

Upon realizing this, Liu Wuji's expression suddenly changed.

"If it's bait, then the Star Fruit!"

"It should be true."

Lu Yuan had, of course, confirmed this repeatedly. Although he didn’t understand what the restriction was, the feeling he got from that fruit was definitely not just superficial.

The same principle should apply to demonic beasts and exotic beasts; Star Fruit, which contains a large amount of cosmic energy, should also be a highly nourishing food.

It's unclear how this strange beast grew the Star Fruit. What's truly remarkable is that it controlled its desires and didn't swallow the Star Fruit directly, but instead used it as bait to lure its prey.

Yes, compared to water, that Star Fruit is the real bait.

And what is happening now proves this point.

"Star Fruit can appear in any environment."

Song Hui then added, "In that case, it's not impossible for it to be born from the body of a strange beast."

At this point, people couldn't help but suspect that the Star Fruit was created by this strange beast to lure its prey, just like the lanternfish.

If that's the case, the value of this strange beast is probably even greater than that of the Star Fruit!

However, this was irrelevant to the group. After all, with their strength, it would be difficult for them to even take the Star Fruit, let alone capture this strange beast alive.

"So what do we do next?"

At this moment, Zhu Qiaoqian suddenly asked a question.

The problem has returned to its starting point.

To seize or to retreat?

The appearance of the strange beasts undoubtedly made the situation more chaotic and dangerous.

"Rob!"

After a moment of contemplation, Dugu Feiying and Liu Wuji said in unison.

At this moment, the two surprisingly reached a consensus.

Indeed, the situation has become more chaotic, but as the saying goes, "fishing in troubled waters"—opportunities have also emerged!

Liu Wuji couldn't help but glance at Lu Yuan again. This must be the turning point he had mentioned before.

Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to figure out how to snatch it.

After some discussion, the group decided to hold a meeting.

"Be careful!"

"Retreat now!"

A moment later, the twenty-odd people who had rushed into the oasis to fight for the Star Fruit not only failed to obtain it, but also suffered several casualties.

After all, entering the oasis is tantamount to falling into the mouth of a strange beast.

How can fish resist the knife and chopping board?

Seeing that they were outmatched, the remaining men quickly retreated.

Looking at them now, only twelve people remained, and half of them were injured, with two of them seriously injured.

All three groups suffered heavy losses.

Looking at the oasis beast devouring their teammates, their faces darkened, their eyes filled with regret, clearly remorse for their earlier recklessness.

"superior!"

Just as these people were filled with regret, a soft shout rang out and seven people from the Starry Sky Guild rushed forward.

Without the slightest hesitation, they rushed straight into the oasis.

You dare to come here to die?

These people had noticed the Starry Sky Club a while ago, but since there had been no movement from there, they hadn't paid any attention to it.

After witnessing their tragic state, how dare they still rush in?

"court death."

I couldn't help but sneer. That's how people are; they'll never know how hard the wall is until they try it themselves.

They didn't try to stop them, but stood on the outside with their arms crossed, waiting to see how the people from the Starry Sky Club would die!

"Be careful!"

Sure enough, as soon as they stepped inside, the plants and trees inside instantly came to life, wrapping around them like tentacles.

Liu Wuji shouted loudly, and in the next moment, he had already summoned the Qi.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a giant beast with a human face and a tiger's body, a long tail and fangs, crashed heavily to the ground, instantly suppressing the grass and trees that were about to be swept up.

Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts, is exactly the aura of Liu Wuji!

Meanwhile, the others also used various methods to deal with the attacks from the oasis beasts.

"These people..."

"As expected of the Starry Sky Club."

Those who had been waiting to watch the spectacle couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

After all, they are one of the seven major martial arts groups. Although they received fewer spots this time, they are all top experts!

The oasis beast that had just given these people so much trouble was now unable to subdue them for the time being.

"Something's wrong! The beast's attacks seem to have weakened!"

To their surprise, these people suddenly noticed that the frequency of the beast's attacks seemed to have decreased.

Previously, when dealing with them, a large amount of vegetation on the ground was attacked together, but now, less than half of it remains.

"Is it because they're full?"

"No, to be precise, it's because the people who are currently controlling and digesting us don't have that many 'hands' freed up."

"Damn it! Those bastards from the Starry Sky Club are using us as cannon fodder!"

Then, realizing what had happened, he became furious again.

But despite their anger, they couldn't hold back and rushed in first.

They could actually charge forward again, but they just don't have the guts.

To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of insufficient strength.

In any situation, strength is the only true measure of success!

"Huh? Why is one of them missing?"

At that moment, someone suddenly said something.

The others were taken aback. Upon closer inspection, they realized, "Yes, there are seven people, but there are only six in the oasis. Where is the other one?"

"There!"

Just then, a figure appeared in the sky above the oasis.

Then his figure flashed repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye he was already above the big tree in the center.

Without the slightest hesitation, it swooped down and headed straight for the Star Fruit.

"So that's how it is!"

Seeing this, those people were again filled with surprise.

Six people held them back, while one person took it by force!

That's right. We don't know anything about this strange beast, not even where its vital points are. How can we fight it?

Instead of desperately trying to kill it, we should just seize the Star Fruit.

"It's mine now!"

Using his explosive step, Lu Yuan lunged forward and reached for the Star Fruit.

Whoosh!

With only a few meters left to go, the big tree bearing the star fruit also came back to life...

Countless leaves instantly stretched out, like wild, sharp blades, fiercely slashing and sweeping towards Lu Yuan in mid-air.
