Chapter 428: 239 Trapped (First Update)

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang had no sooner landed on the ground than Fang Yuyang instantly released five huge Wind Blades. These Wind Blades were larger than the ones before, each reaching a meter in length, shaped like crescent moons, or more like enormous scythes.

The Wind Blades flew toward the ferocious spike; however, the spike seemed to know how formidable the Wind Blades were and did not attempt to resist. Instead, it quickly retracted back into the ground.

Seeing that things were not favorable, Fang Yuxin urgently called out, "Lan Re! Go underground!"

Although burrowing was a technique available to Cultivators, with their current weak strength, the underground was the home turf of the Mutated Rose, and entering it not only meant no advantages for her and Fang Yuyang, but they were also likely to be trapped by the complex root system.

Therefore, Fang Yuxin did not recklessly tunnel into the earth but instead instructed Lan Re to scout first. No matter what, Lan Re was a Mutant Plant and had gained a substantial amount of Wood Energy from her. Even if not a match for the Mutated Rose, it would not be easily ensnared.

Upon receiving the command, Lan Re immediately transformed into a streak of white light and shot into the ground, vanishing in the blink of an eye. As it disappeared, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang both felt vibrations emanating from underneath the soil.

The two stepped back again, while simultaneously extending their Spiritual Sense to inspect the situation underground. Upon checking, they discovered that the area beneath them had become a chaotic battlefield.

The Mutated Rose’s roots were extensive and tangled complexly beneath the soil. Compared to it, Lan Re fell short. Lan Re was a Mutated Crystal Orchid with a different breed, and its roots were nowhere near as developed as those of the Mutated Rose. However, Lan Re was not so easily bullied; while lacking in extensive roots, its body was as hard as jade and covered with sharp, scale-like leaves, allowing it to move through the ground.

As the Mutated Rose had dense roots, Lan Re summoned all its clones to join with its main body, twining around the intricate roots just like a Spiritual Snake.

The roots were flexible, but Lan Re’s body was no less so, not to mention the sharp Scale Leaves that continuously sliced through the roots.

The more tightly they entwined, the less either could gain the upper hand. Although many roots were severed by the relentless cutting of the Scale Leaves, the roots were too complex and vast; the severed ones were insignificant branches, which hardly amounted to any real damage to the Mutated Rose.

Nonetheless, the huge Wind Blades released by Fang Yuyang caused it considerable trouble! Countless petals were sliced into a mess by the Wind Blades, and even the beautiful blossoms did not escape, with many petals chopped off.

But soon, the Mutated Rose had a response to this. The open petals curled in and closed back into buds, the branches retracted, shrinking the buds to the size of soybeans hidden between the petioles and branches — not only were they impervious to the Wind Blades, but they also could hardly be detected without close inspection!

"Bro, I’m going to have a go at it!" The leaves and branches appeared very tough, and Fang Yuxin was eager to test just how durable they really were.

Fang Yuyang worriedly responded, "Xinxin, be careful! Don’t forget, this thing was one step away from reaching Level 3! It’s probably planning to use us as fertilizer!"

Fang Yuxin was well aware that this plant was a mutated variety and was not as harmless as ordinary plants. It could grow this fast because it had absorbed sufficient Energy. Achieving this was not easy unless it was cunning and ferocious.

From the start, she had never underestimated it. Her decision to test it out was well thought out.

Although she knew Fang Yuyang’s Wind Blades could inflict damage, she couldn’t fully grasp the defensive capabilities of the Mutated Rose unless she tried it herself.

They had a long road ahead and were likely to face a multitude of bizarre enemies. She couldn’t possibly keep hiding behind Fang Yuyang, watching him do everything. She wanted to attempt it herself, to see how much damage she could do to this Mutated Rose with her current strength.

She had to be clear about her own strength so that when facing an enemy in the future, she would have a plan in mind and not act blindly.

So she insisted, "Brother, I must try it myself."

Fang Yuyang looked at her and ultimately could not bring himself to say no. He then said, "Then I’ll follow close behind you!"

Fang Yuxin felt warmth in her heart, gave Fang Yuyang a slight smile, clenched the hilt of her blade tightly, and quickly charged towards the Mutated Rose. Fang Yuyang followed closely behind her, unleashing Wind Blades while running to prevent any sneak attacks from the other side.
