Chapter 98: Chapter 96 Golden Juice

The mist expelled by the "strange flower" dissipated quickly along with its jellyfish-like seeds. All that was left was the peculiar breathing sound of the "strange flower".

Su Yu retracted his "Tearing Storm" and stayed hidden amongst the weeds. They had made a considerable commotion and by right, golden goblins, or the Golden Goblin King should have discovered them. But none of the creatures bothered them, instead, they all remained focused on the "strange flower".

Su Yu looked at the "strange flower" and noticed that the fiery red core, like an open flower petal, was growing weaker. It seemed to lose its power after dispersing a large quantity of "seeds".

Almost simultaneously, golden goblins, the Golden Goblin King, and the charging Minotaur demons along with the remaining Goblin Beasts and Goblin Knights rushed towards the "strange flower".

Sounds of intense fighting could be heard as enormous root stalks shot up from beneath the ground, like tentacles, striking at the charging monsters as if it were an instinctive defense mechanism.

A few of the Minotaur demons removed their horns and threw them, releasing their "Cyclone Slash" abilities. The golden goblin, holding two golden steel swords, crossed them and annihilated an oncoming root. The shattered root oozed a liquid resembling blood, prompting the "strange flower" to twitch violently as if in acute pain.

However, the flower was rooted in the center and couldn’t move. Relying on its roots for defense against the numerous attacking monsters proved futile as they were quickly severed, and a crimson liquid spilled out onto the ground.

It seemed to be feeling the threat of death, as an enormous sound akin to a giant bellows emitted from within the "strange flower". To everyone’s surprise, the nearly extinguished flames within the flower ignited again with a roar, burning the golden liquid lively and intensely.

Unbelievably, as the flames rekindled, the Golden Goblin King, golden goblins, and Minotaur demons abruptly halted their rampage as if by mutual agreement, stepping back and once again greedily eying the "strange flower".

Su Yu and his companions, hidden within the weeds, were flabbergasted by this peculiar spectacle. Suddenly, Qin Jiagui whispered, "Look at their bodies. They’ve become more transparent."

Being meticulous, he was quick to spot that the flames rekindled within the monsters was causing their bodies to become more transparent. Their severed roots were visibly regrowing, and their bodies became even more transparent, almost as if they were disappearing into thin air. Only the vibrant, red flames that continuously ignited the golden liquid could be seen.

"I understand now..." Ma Ziye abruptly murmured, "Doesn’t it seem like the monsters are intimidating the ’strange flower’ into doing something for them? That’s why when the flames within it died down, they would immediately attack, forcing it to reignite..."

Ma Ziye’s analysis sounded strange, yet it made sense. Su Yu’s gaze couldn’t help but linger on the drop of golden liquid at the core of the flaming flower.

An instinct told Su Yu that the golden liquid was the source of the monsters’ greed, and it seemed out of reach for some reason. Perhaps it wasn’t ripe yet? Therefore, the monsters could only remain nearby, watching. Although it was clear that the flower was directly connected to the golden liquid, Su Yu was not aware of the specific reason.

As the thunderous sound rumbled from within the "strange flower", mist and jellyfish-like seeds were expelled once again, exactly like before. The scene repeated: when the red flames in the flower seemed about to extinguish, the monsters rushed to attack, forcing the flames to reignite. Then, they would simply step back again.

This cycle continued, too many times to count. Witnessing the "strange flower" becoming more and more transparent was distressing, as if the flower was screaming and suffering.

What exactly was this "strange flower", and what did the monsters desire so much?

The mysteries filled their minds, and a strong sense of curiosity made them unwilling to leave. They simply wanted to see the final outcome.

As the "strange flower" became increasingly transparent, its body seemed to fully dissolve in the air, leaving nothing but the eight-petaled flame, which continued to ignite the golden liquid.

The evening grew dusk, and an afternoon passed unknowingly. They felt hungry, yet they were too engrossed like the monsters, focusing intently on the fiery lotus and the golden liquid.

Finally, after a while, the golden liquid started to bubble in the continually burning flame.

As it started boiling, the golden liquid, similar to leaping serpents, had reached a boiling point.

Almost instantly, the Golden Goblin King, golden goblins, Minotaur demons, all the monsters rushed forward, roaring. This time, they were like desperate people, throwing caution to the wind and stretching out their hands, wishing to be the first to grab the boiling golden liquid.

Su Yu also stood up, discarding the bag of food he was holding. His conjecture was correct; what the monsters wanted was indeed the drop of golden liquid, and only when it started boiling.

Although Su Yu didn’t know what the golden liquid was for, by seeing the frantic desire in the eyes of the monsters, including the powerful Golden Goblin King and golden goblins, he could only conclude one thing—that drop of golden liquid was indeed a priceless treasure.

If Su Yu could think of this, so could Qin Jiagui and the rest. However, their abilities were not up to par. They wanted to pick a fight with the golden goblins and the Minotaur demons, but they dared not make a move.

Su Yu’s mind was racing as he clenched his fists, a multitude of thoughts crossed his mind. Should he fight for it?

Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Su Yu was already instinctively charging forward.
