Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 144 The True Face of the Stalagmite

"Yes, seven-petaled seven-colored orchids like these only grow in places that can nurture soul seeds, and their lifespan is sufficient to sustain them for seventy years."

Lingling paused here, then continued:

"The seven-petaled seven-colored orchid can no longer be called a seven-colored orchid. They are named as elemental flowers according to the colors they are born with and the elements they contain. The fire-attribute ones are fire elemental flowers, the wind-attribute ones are wind elemental flowers, and the earth-attribute ones are earth elemental flowers."

"The reason they are distinguished from the seven-colored orchid is that these flowers are not ordinary plants, but natural treasures that can promote the growth of organisms of the same species."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo understood and finally realized what Lingling meant by "luck".

"Will these Earthly Elemental Flowers cause summoned beasts to develop drug resistance?"

"This does not apply to those below the rank of commander."

Nodding, Bai Mo stared at this strange cave, carefully examining it, but remained motionless.

There may not be a Soul Seed here, but there is indeed an elemental concentration that can nurture a Soul Seed, so there must be something of equal value to a Soul Seed.

But how could such a precious place be so quiet, without a single demon? This is too strange.

Moreover, where did these Earth Element Flowers come from?

It couldn't have been the wind blowing in from outside, could it? The distance from here to the dark crevice they came down from is nearly ten thousand meters.

Lingling didn't urge him; she also observed the area. She had some guesses about Bai Mo's thoughts.

"You want to use those mud monsters as spies? But these earth element flowers might get destroyed."

"There aren't any specific requirements for picking this Earth Root Flower, are there?"

"no."

Having received the answer, Bai Mo smiled slightly, and a moon-white light shone around him, opening a passage to another dimension from which Feng Ling flew out.

"Little Wind Spirit, cut all those flowers off, don't let them fly in."

"Mmm!"

Feng Ling nodded. Although she didn't understand why Bai Mo didn't want her to go in, she didn't really want to know. Even if she didn't go in, Feng Ling could still cut the flowers.

With a slight tilt of her head, the wind around Feng Ling suddenly intensified, sending out countless tiny wind blades, as fine and delicate as blades of grass.

These wind blades increased rapidly, constantly flying towards the strange cavern while also expanding, forming a white rope-like structure that stretched between the two ends of the cavern.

The rope swept across the ground like a sharp sickle, severing all the earth flowers at the roots.

Bai Mo kept his eyes fixed on the commotion inside the strange cave. Feng Ling's actions hadn't caused any disturbance, but he wasn't letting his guard down.

While remaining vigilant against any potential changes, countless threads of thought transformed into a million hands, following the wind ropes formed from the wind leaves emitted by the Wind Spirit. Each time a piece of Earth Element Flower was cut, a faint silver light would flash, lifting the Earth Element Flower into the air before Bai Mo stored it in his personal space.

Before all the Earth Elemental Flowers could be collected, a swarm of Mud Monsters surged in from one direction.

These mud monsters seemed oblivious to the raging wind ropes, the light emerging from the dark cavern, and the magical energy emanating from Bai Mo. Pools of them surged into the strange cavern, and according to Bai Mo's sonic detection, there were about a hundred of them, now covering the vast floor of the cavern.

The ground, which was originally gleaming and complemented the stalagmites above, has all turned into surging silt.

Many of the Earthly Flowers that the Wind Spirits hadn't had time to cut were swallowed up by them.

Once swallowed, the mud monster will surge with churning mud, transforming into a four-meter-tall creature made entirely of solid, hard, grayish-white rock. Its entire body resembles that of a weightlifter who has undergone extensive training. Its arm, waist, and leg strength have all been honed to perfection, and its bulging rock muscles contain explosive power!

The rock monsters still ignored Bai Mo's meaning, and instead directed the mud monsters to clear a large area, facing the ground beneath their feet, and then slammed their fists down heavily.

Bang! Bang bang!!!

Bang bang bang bang! ! ! ! !

Soil churned, stones flew everywhere, and the deafening, continuous sound of rocks colliding echoed throughout the strange cavern formed by the enormous dark cave.

The mud monsters stayed close to them, not going anywhere.

Bai Mo and Lingling watched blankly for a long time, watching as the mud monsters that had eaten the Earth Elemental Flower evolved into rock monsters that had already carved out huge pits more than a meter deep in the ground.

"It seems I was overthinking it. I'll kill them all."

Bai Mo commanded the wind spirit to possess him and was about to enter the cave to kill these rock monsters. If they really found some treasure and underwent a super evolution, they would probably have to prepare to run away.

However, at that moment, the stalagmites on the high cave ceiling, which had previously reflected a grayish-white light and occasionally had a drop or two of water falling from them, began to fall like rock waterfalls.

At the tips of the fallen stalagmites, thin, yellowish-brown threads connect them like roots.

The rock stalagmites, large and small, are arranged in such neat rows that they resemble rock spears thrust out by a well-trained army, or perhaps a massive waterfall of rocks cascading down.

It landed on the ground so quickly that even the air didn't have time to react.

They easily pierced through the mud monsters on the beach, and even the giant rock monsters could be pierced by them.

It was as if an unknown, enormous earth beast had closed its gaping maw, its sharp teeth easily tearing apart the food that had entered its mouth.

Those stabbed mud monsters looked like soup dumplings with their skin torn open.

Streams of life energy were absorbed by the strange stalagmites embedded in their bodies! In no time, these mud monsters and rock monsters turned into puddles of truly dry soil.

They smeared it on the ground, making the area look no different from before.

However, at the spot where the rock monster shattered and died, those tiny, fine brown crystals were exceptionally conspicuous to Bai Mo.

These tiny crystal fragments are nanocrystals with earth attributes.

The stalagmites, each long and pointed like the fangs of a terrifying beast, had thin, yellowish-brown roots that slowly contracted from the top of the cave.

They seemed determined not to let the nanocrystals go. After absorbing the life energy of the hundred-plus mud monsters, they used their fine roots to quickly return to the top, then adjusted their angles and targeted the nanocrystals, some exposed and others hidden in the thin layer of soil.

Both of them were stunned by what they had just witnessed, and Lingling was the first to recognize the true nature of the stalagmite.

"I understand. These are Earth Rock Evil Bamboo Shoots, special plant demons from the Dark Cave. They are half-elemental demons, which is why they can disguise themselves so realistically."

Lingling knew that Bai Mo was about to make a move. Although their main objective this time was to collect crystals, they couldn't leave empty-handed now that they had encountered a formidable foe.

Therefore, as soon as those earth-rock evil bamboo shoots killed the mud monsters, they began to speak at an extremely fast pace.

"They are all warriors, Bai Mo, be careful if you make a move."

As soon as Lingling finished speaking, those creatures who had been having a small meal seemed to have no intention of letting the two people who had seen their true forms go, even though their unique stalagmite bodies couldn't get through for the time being.

But dust began to fall from the dark cave walls beside them, and countless yellowish-brown tentacles emerged from the walls, like countless wires, stabbing towards the two of them.

"Sound Barrier!"

Bai Mo uttered a musical note, which transformed into a sound wave barrier that enveloped the two of them. These earth-elemental roots were indeed exceptionally hard, but they were utterly insignificant in the face of the powerful penetrating force of sound.

The high-speed vibrating sound waves formed a semi-circle, enveloping the two people. Any roots that came near were turned into dust by the intense sound waves.

At the same time, Bai Mo made a move on the exposed crystals on the surface of the cave, and his thoughts surged out in countless strands, collecting all of them.

"Snap snap snap snap~~~~~~~~~~!"

Seeing their spoils taken away by Bai Mo, the Earth Rock Evil Bamboo Shoots on the Na Crystal, who had not originally participated in the hunt for Bai Mo and his companion but instead had set their sights on the ground, suddenly became furious.

Those roots actually controlled the bamboo shoots, which were as sharp as rock spears, and a large number of them flew towards Bai Mo. Nearby, even more earthy yellow roots, like steel needles and iron wires, broke through the soil on the wall and stabbed towards Bai Mo with a force that could easily penetrate steel.

Whether it's the rock spears or these iron-wire-like roots, once hit by them, Bai Mo's body will be turned into a sieve in an instant.

"Kill Music - Dance!"

With a flurry of plucked strings, each note transformed into a wild, swirling blade, spreading out like waves of light, shattering all the surrounding roots. The terrifying and powerful penetrating force and shockwave swept away countless fragments of rock, even expanding the cavern where the two were located by three feet.

After clearing away the roots, Bai Mo focused his attention on the flying bamboo shoots. These bamboo shoots, which could be easily shattered even by rock monsters, were definitely not to be underestimated in terms of hardness and power!

The color under the eyes changed, and a silver light shone through, summoning a silver domain that enveloped the space within a hundred meters.

With focused intent, powerful spatial energy surged forth under the influence of magical power, spreading like a raging river. The solid and powerful spatial intent collided violently with the dozens of fang-like spears that were attacking it.

In this contest of hard power, it's all about who's tougher, who has more power, and who's stronger!

Silver dust scattered, and countless gray-white pebbles flew everywhere. The powerful impact force was transmitted through the stalagmites to the roots that supported them, and the violent shockwave directly shattered these roots.

Already broken, they lost the support of their roots and collapsed like a house of cards, crushed to pieces by the spatial power that followed, like a river, from Bai Mo.

Once the stalagmites shattered, that section of the cave ceiling remained completely still. Stalagmites are their very essence, which is why they possess such formidable power.

However, in this grotto, which is as big as a stadium, there are countless evil bamboo shoots in the rock.

They hung upside down from the ceiling of the cave, and at a glance, there were nearly a thousand of them, which was no less than the size of an ordinary demon race!

The damage Bai Mo caused was merely a drop in the ocean. Only a vast number of Earth Rock Evil Bamboo Shoots could truly claim this precious land.

They use this unique place, and their almost flawless camouflage, to hunt down the prey that are attracted to them.
