257: Chapter 258 Man-Eating Flower!

The ominous climate of the Forest of Death made Tang Zhong highly cautious.

He had already walked for half a day, yet the path ahead was still shrouded in mist.

The cold wind made one shiver.

Here, there was no distinction between day and night.

Despite having walked for a long time, the surrounding light remained unchanging.

He then arrived at a swamp.

Stepping onto the muddy ground carelessly could mean sinking deep into the mud and being unable to escape.

As he walked, Tang Zhong sensed something was off.

He looked around and saw that there were a few buds growing on the swamp ground.

The buds were extraordinary; the petals were black and extremely delicate in appearance, resembling the sun and up to 1.5 meters in diameter with petals about 1.4 centimeters thick.

A single flower had five petals, and its leaves were thirty to forty centimeters long.

Moreover, there wasn’t just one; from a distance, there appeared to be about a dozen.

Tang Zhong looked and found it strange—how could there be so many flowers without reason?

And these flowers were indeed peculiar.

Tang Zhong narrowed his eyes—if nothing unexpected happened, these were probably the legendary Man-Eating Flowers!

Flowers that consume humans.

Taking advantage when one is unguarded to devour a person.

Tang Zhong didn’t want to provoke them; after all, there were over a dozen of them around.

He prepared to take a detour.

But suddenly, he squinted his eyes.

Humans can release killing intent, and so can plants.

Man-Eating Flowers, because they consume humans, carry a scent of blood.

And Tang Zhong smelled it.

That meant someone had previously passed by here and had been devoured by these Man-Eating Flowers; one could see traces of blood on the black petals.

Someone had definitely been here!

In the Forest of Death, it was unusual for anyone to come; thus, the blood on the Man-Eating Flowers must be related to Zhan Long’s group or other people.

Suddenly, Tang Zhong saw a piece of clothing near the Man-Eating Flowers—it was Zhan Long’s uniform.

Tang Zhong clenched his fist; Zhan Long’s group must be ahead.

Initially, Tang Zhong had thought about bypassing this area, but now he chose to proceed.

However, as he walked past, both the Dragon Blade and the Dragon Spear were firmly grasped in his hands.

Holding the Dragon Blade in reverse grip, its sharp blade shimmered brightly.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Spear was loaded, ready to fire.

The bullets of the Dragon Spear were specially made, incredibly tiny, almost like granules; one load could fire thousands of shots.

The air was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Tang Zhong carefully stepped through the swamp, slowly walking past over a dozen Man-Eating Flowers.

If these Man-Eating Flowers didn’t bother him, he wouldn’t provoke them, unless these flowers were senseless.

But his thought had not yet finished.

In an instant, a Man-Eating Flower beside him suddenly moved; its massive petals opened like jagged teeth, revealing fangs inside, and it lunged at Tang Zhong, attempting to swallow him whole.

Like a snake.

Tang Zhong turned around, his body tilting, and with the Dragon Spear in his hand, he pulled the trigger.

Without a sound, flames burst forth from the barrel of the Dragon Spear, and granule-sized bullets shot out.

They struck the Man-Eating Flower immediately.

Flames engulfed the Man-Eating Flower.

The entire petal burst into flames, the fire surging wildly.

The Man-Eating Flower emitted a deep roar as it burned.

Hearing this sound, the other Man-Eating Flowers also began to move and attacked Tang Zhong together.

Seeing dozens of Man-Eating Flowers approaching, Tang Zhong, with the Dragon Spear in hand, fired again.

The granule-sized bullets were shot out, and the few Man-Eating Flowers closest to him had their flower heads instantly engulfed in flames.

As their heads burned, their 1.5-meter-tall bodies collapsed.

Those Man-Eating Flowers that tried to approach Tang Zhong mostly died under the bullets of the Dragon Spear.

Suddenly, a sense of killing intent struck from behind Tang Zhong.

He turned sharply and saw a Man-Eating Flower very close to him.

Tang Zhong’s brow furrowed at once.

The Forest of Death was indeed terrifying.

Even plants had developed such powerful intelligence, knowing to feign normalcy while other flowers attacked, delivering a deadly blow.

But these flowers were still too naive.

The Dragon head, whose hands had slain over ten thousand, would hardly be stopped by a mere flower.

He aimed a strike at the man-eating flower’s head, chopping it down with his sword.

Just as the blade slashed through,

suddenly, the head of the man-eating flower snapped off and fell into the marsh.

A deep roar emitted from the man-eating flower’s mouth.

Tang Zhong didn’t even glance back and quickly walked forward.

Because his brothers were just ahead!

Tang Zhong’s pace quickened.

After crossing the marshland, what appeared in his eyes were the dark forests and mist.

By then, the trees ahead started showing signs of markings, clearly indicating destruction.

That is to say, they were right ahead.

Tang Zhong’s feet hastened more.

Suddenly, his foot stepped on something hard, and he immediately retreated a step and looked down, only to see a skull.

And on closer inspection, it was indeed a full skeleton, but they wore the attire of Dragon.

Beside him, there was another skeleton, but the clothes worn were camouflage.

It was clear that this was a struggle between two individuals, for scars were visible on both skeletons, and both had succumbed together.

Tang Zhong only took one glance before his fists clenched tightly.

“Nether, you’ll see what you have coming!”

The camouflage was clearly the attire of Nether.

“Brother, rest in peace, I’ll avenge you!”

Tang Zhong declared.

Then his pace quickened even more.

The people of Nether couldn’t possibly be handling Dragon alone; they must have collaborated with someone else.

No matter who it was, they all had to be killed this time.

The Dragon Spear and Dragon Blade in Tang Zhong’s hands released a raging killing intent.

He would not spare anyone!

Meanwhile, elsewhere,

Monkey and Xia Yuqing were facing incessant pursuits from Nether, completely exhausted from their escape.

Outside, the booming sound of cannons continuously echoed, along with Zhang Kuang’s derisive laughter.

“Stop hiding, you can’t escape!”

“Just surrender, the remnants of Dragon!”

“Hand over what’s in your hands, and I’ll leave your corpses intact.

Without the Dragon head, you stand no chance against us Nether!”

Xia Yuqing and Monkey clenched their teeth in fury upon hearing this.

“Damn, these guys.

Knowing Brother Tang is not around, they dare to talk trash; they would never dare to speak like this if Brother Tang were here!” Monkey cursed.

“The problem is, he isn’t here now!” Xia Yuqing said sharply, her short hair fluttering.

The others from Dragon clenched their teeth in anger.

If only Brother Tang were here.

“Yeah!”

Then Xia Yuqing continued, “The people outside want the rock in my backpack, even though I don’t know what’s special about this rock.

But since they’re after it, it must be crucial, so it must not fall into their hands.

Now, Monkey, you take a backpack too, also with a rock, and leave this place.

This way, it’s a blinding technique, and we can split up to escape more easily.

Otherwise, being chased by so many, we will definitely meet a dead end!”

“But, Sister Yuqing, doing this…

if captured, we could die!” Monkey said anxiously.

“It’s better than dying together!” Xia Yuqing replied.

“So now, let’s split up!”

Monkey, not daring to resist, took a backpack just like Xia Yuqing’s and picked up a rock from the ground.

“Go, you take some people, I’ll take some, and run in different directions!” Xia Yuqing ordered.

“Okay!” Monkey nodded.

Then the group split up to execute the plan, no one dared to disobey Xia Yuqing’s command.

Xia Yuqing led one group, while Monkey led another.

And from another perspective, the people from Nether watched.

“Boss, they’ve actually split up, and both the woman and the thin man are carrying backpacks.

Where could the rock we want be?”

“No matter, since they’ve split up, we shall pursue them separately.

Anyway, without the Dragon head, none of them can escape!”

“Yes, boss!”

(Today I went on a long trip, just got back, thanks for the reward!)
