Chapter 1129: Howling Flower
Su Xiao stared at Maha for a few seconds.
At this point, it no longer mattered whether what the other party said was true or false.
Even before they went to this mountain, Su Xiao had prepared for the fact that there would be no way out. The reward for the first part of just the first part of this hidden mission was too high, so obviously this mission wasn't exactly an easy one.
It was impossible to get something good without taking risks.
— According to you, there's only one way forward right now? And if we come back, even if we're lucky, we'll have to wait a week? Su Xiao asked as he sheathed the Dragon Flash, then looked at the dozens of passageways in front of him.
— Yes, since we've reached this point, we just don't have a way out anymore, " After saying that, Maha took out a wooden box from his large backpack and tossed it to Su Xiao. — You deserve it.
After catching it, Su Xiao opened the box and saw four large soul crystals inside, then put the wooden box away.
— We will continue to move forward. Since we need to get to the center, we will have to pass through the territory of at least two unusual plants. If we go this way,we will encounter the Howling Flower. This is a very ferocious carnivorous plant. You can only force your way through it, " Maha said, and walked over to the dozens of passageways, then began to examine the footprints at their entrance. "Here it is," and pointed to an oval passage four meters high and two meters wide, then immediately went inside.
— Byakuya, I'll deal with the Howling Flowers. When I run out of steam, you will replace me. I can't die yet, at least not right now.
Since Maha took the lead, it greatly reduced the chance that he wanted to stab him in the back.
In fact, right now, Maha didn't even consider betrayal as such at all. Killua and Alluka were with him now. Once the situation got out of hand, they would definitely die.
— Such narrow passages don't really suit my style.
— Well, then, try to save as much energy as possible. Even if I get seriously injured, don't worry about it. If I can get to the center alive, I'll be fine. My weak points are my head and upper torso. As long as these two body parts aren't seriously injured, I can survive.
In this not very wide cave, Maha was currently standing with his back to Su Xiao. If Su Xiao took action, Mahi's chances of survival would not exceed 30%.
The group began to slowly walk deeper into the mountain.
The farther they went, the darker the passageway became.
Su Xiao took out two military fluorescent sticks, broke them, and threw one to Maha.
They both hung the fluorescent sticks around their waists.
*Crunch-crunch...*
Someone was eating very loudly in the front. Su Xiao took out a fluorescent wand from his waist and threw it forward.
A man sat in front of them, head down, eating something.
He was sitting with his back to the group.
When the fluorescent stick fell to the ground with a click, the person's body froze and eventually he turned around and looked at the fluorescent stick.
It was then that Su Xiao and the others clearly saw that this creature wasn't a human at all, but a human-shaped plant. It was like an uprooted plant, and its roots were its lower limbs, the main body part along with its arms protruded the trunk, and the budding bud was its head.
It must have been " Howling Flower».
— Howling Flower turned to look at Su Xiao and the others. Although it didn't have eyes, Su Xiao felt that this creature had noticed them.
— Whoo-hoo-hoo!!! a high-pitched scream rang out, and sound waves reverberated through the cave.
The cave was immediately covered with small cracks.
Su Xiao's ears were ringing, however, the others were not in a good position.
— Oooh~, " Bubtney whined. He had the sharpest hearing, so he suffered more serious injuries.
The sound waves continued to spread out in all directions.
Maha was also stunned and dizzy, but he covered Alluka's ears with his hands. In Maha's mind, he shouldn't have let Nanika wake up early.
But despite Maha's protection, Alluka began to slowly wake up.
— Ah! Killua exclaimed and covered his ears, but the veins on his face were still bulging more and more, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Realizing that the situation wasn't good, Su Xiao grabbed Killua by the scruff of the neck and threw him towards Amu.
Amu caught Killua and pressed his big hands to his ears.
Killua's body quickly went limp — he lost consciousness.
*Boom!*
The dull sound of a gunshot rang out, and along with it, the shrill scream died away.
Su Xiao was holding a two-meter-long sniper rifle. This wasn't the Duke of Nirvana. Duke Nirvana's bullets were too expensive. Right now, he was using the Spider Queen.
The Spider Queen wasn't powerful enough, but it could easily handle normal targets, and more importantly, its ammo was very cheap compared to the cost of the Duke of Nirvana's cartridge.
With that one shot, Howling Flower's upper body was blown to smithereens.
— Is this the Howling Flower? Su Xiao asked as the buzzing in his ears disappeared.
— Maha looked at Su Xiao doubtfully. "Speak up.
Maha was already at an advanced age, and this powerful attack clearly affected his hearing greatly.
— Forget.
— Who didn't die? It die.
— Forget!
— But?
— ...
Ten seconds later, Maha's hearing returned to normal. This old man was usually serious and old-fashioned, but now his serious image was gone.
— Howling Flower's body is fragile, but its cry is very troublesome and, most importantly, attracts a large amount of... " but before Maha could finish, the entire cave started to shake.
*Boom-boom-boom...*
A large number of creatures were advancing towards them very quickly.
True, these plants were fragile, but their screams attracted the help of their relatives.
— Let's get started! Maha shouted and covered Alluka's ears.
— Oooh-oooh-oooh!
The howling flowers began to yell, and layers of sound waves that were visible to the naked eye rushed towards the group.
Su Xiao stretched out his palm and a 400 mana shield immediately appeared in front of him, and it immediately expanded in size and completely blocked the passage.
*W-w-w-w-w...*
The energy shield began to vibrate, and small cracks began to appear on it.
Maha clearly didn't expect Su Xiao to have such a skill.
With each passing moment, he was more and more glad that he had decided to take such a person with him.
— Twenty seconds should be enough, " and black energy surged out of Maha's body, then wrapped around his arms.
After that, he placed Alluka in Su Xiao's hands. "Take care of him. There is no need for you to take any action. I'll deal with them.
With a click, the energy shield was shattered by the sound wave, but Maha's body arched and he immediately rushed towards the sound wave.
Su Xiao immediately created a 200 mana shield behind him.
Maha's eyes were bloodshot and blood gushed out of his ears as sound waves began to pound through his body.
Su Xiao's shield was shaking, but the bulk of the sound waves were attacking Maha.
Ten seconds later, the waves stopped attacking the shield.
Maha engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Howling Flowers. Apart from the fact that these plants could emit very powerful sound waves, they could also bite anything, and the bite power of these creatures was not inferior to the power of their sound waves.
