Chapter 684: Chapter 672: End of the World Dimension 60

Upon entering, Xia Yue found that the ceiling of the hall was gone. Numerous large trees had broken through the roof, leaving the center of the room exposed to the sky.

"Are you sure there are still seeds to be found here?" Asked Xia Yue, glancing at the torn-open ceiling, surrounded by wreckage and debris, she voiced her doubts.

"There are, quite a few," replied Ziluo as she led the group forward.

"Be careful, something is watching us from the shadows," Yan Mo warned them.

At Yan Mo’s warning, Xia Yue immediately became alert, scanning her surroundings for any possible sudden attacks.

"It’s the man-eating flower. It’s watching us from the dark. There seem to be several separate parts of it here. Be careful not to get dragged off and eaten," Ziluo noticed that the man-eating flowers here had advanced consciousness. They had divided into numerous parts and were spread throughout the hall. Any intruder would be detected immediately.

Moreover, unless all of its separate parts were completely destroyed, merely killing the main body would allow it to regenerate via its separate components.

Ziluo carried a serious demeanor. Each step made was careful and deliberate, prompting Xia Yue and the others to become tense as well.

After they had scanned the whole first floor, they couldn’t find any stairs to ascend.

"Can’t see any stairs. Were they destroyed?" asked Xia Yue.

"Seems like it. We’ll have to climb up using the plants," responded Ziluo, releasing a few seeds from her hand onto the ground. Almost instantly, several large vines grew out, reaching a height of more than five meters.

Ziluo, content with the growth, gestured with her hand, and the vines reached down, stopping in front of them.

Ziluo hopped on first, grabbing the vine,

and the vine lifted her to the second floor.

Xia Yue and the others followed suit, letting the vines slowly carry them to the second floor.

"How magical, Sister Zi!" exclaimed Lin Jingyang. It was his first time experiencing something like this and he found it intriguing.

"Not bad, let’s go. We’ll go search for more seeds. There are many on this floor." Ziluo chuckled at his praise and led them on, sensing the locations of the seeds on this floor.

They hadn’t walked far when Ziluo abruptly halted, starting to dig around the remains on the ground, indicating there were seeds here.

Upon hearing about the seeds, Xia Yue and the others immediately became more energetic. They dug with Ziluo, shoveling away rocks and debris fallen from the destroyed ceiling, uncovering the items buried underneath.

After about ten minutes of digging, they found packaged rice, wheat, and corn seeds. Each type had several bags, each bag holding about a pound of seeds.

After transferring the seeds into Xia Yue’s system backpack, they continued.

They moved with caution, constantly wary of a floor collapse that would drop them down a level.

After three hours, they managed to find many seeds, from various crops and fruits.

Ziluo assured them that while under normal circumstances these seeds would struggle to grow, with her presence, there wouldn’t be any problems.

The man-eating flower, hidden in a corner, kept an eye on them, noting that their actions seemed somewhat foolish and aimless.

At a moment when Xia Yue and the others were resting, the man-eating flower seized the opportunity and launched a tentative attack.

Ziluo quickly caught the roots stretching towards them, roots so dark and robust that ordinary people would likely face death simply from her effort

"Watch out, they can’t restrain themselves any longer." Ziluo noticed other plants stirring and immediately alerted Xia Yue and the others.

"Take care of yourselves. Jingyang, follow me," instructed Yan Mo.

Since Xia Yue’s combat experience was limited, looking after herself would already be a task. If she were to be tasked with protecting others, it would prove difficult.

Xia Xi and Mo Si, as well as Ziluo were the main fighters. They had to concentrate on confronting these plants; otherwise, the group was likely to meet their end here./p>

Ziluo had an aura that kept regular plants away from her. Only the man-eating flower could attack her, and she focused her efforts on it.

Other plants were left to Xia Yue, Xia Xi, and Mo Si to handle.

While Yan Mo primarily protected Lin Jingyang, he also kept an eye out for sneaky attacks targeting Xia Yue and the others.

No matter how much they damaged the plants’ roots and branches, new ones would immediately sprout. It was hard to kill them, especially in their den by that, Xia Yue and others could hardly get close to the plants’ bodies.

Ziluo had just finished off a separate part of the man-eating flower when another popped up.

After Ziluo had defeated three separate parts, the main body of the man-eating flower could stand it no longer. It emitted a shrill noise that echoed throughout the hall.

All the mutant plants in the hall quickly formed a tight circle around them. Breaking through, even for Ziluo, would take considerable effort.

Following another shrill noise, the plants parted to form a path, and the man-eating flower walked out from the center.

Its roots formed two legs, underneath the flower were two large leaves acting as hands, with a large floral disc in the center hosting a big mouth with sharp teeth.

"Chi chi chi" The man-eating flower noisily chattered at them.

System: [It’s asking, ’What are you guys doing here? Why were the superpower beasts outside not attacking you?’]

"We’re only here to collect some seeds to take home and plant. We’ve made a deal with the beasts outside that unless we attack them first, they won’t attack us." Xia Yue addressed the man-eating flower earnestly.

"Chi chi chi" The man-eating flower appeared somewhat annoyed and slightly roused after hearing Xia Yue’s words.

System: [It’s saying ’Those superpower beasts are fools. For such paltry benefits, they let you waltz right in. Ridiculous. Idiots.’]

Once the system translated, it then added somewhat surprisingly, "This flower seems quite cultured. Even its insults are sophisticated. It appears much more refined than those superpower beasts."

"We really are just here to collect some seeds. We’ll leave once we have them," Xia Yue reassured the agitated man-eating flower, her tone calm and soothing.

"Chi chi chi" The man-eating flower jerked excitedly.

System: [It’s saying ’I don’t believe you guys. You must be up to something here, planning to round us all up and destroy us.’]

"How about we make a deal? I’ll give you this, and you allow us to take the seeds in this room. We won’t leave, we’ll wait right here, and you decide what to do?" Xia Yue took out the spiritual liquid she had previously offered to the superpower beasts, waving it in front of the man-eating flower. Worried it wouldn’t recognize the worth, she even uncapped the bottle for a moment before quickly closing it again.

"Chi chi chi" After catching a whiff of the alluring scent of the spiritual liquid, the man-eating flower drooled in anticipation, chattering excitedly.

System: [It’s saying ’Give me! Give me! Give me that stuff!’]

"Then trade with us, or else I’ll drink all of it before you can grab it. We’re not afraid if things get violent," Xia Yue threatened, upon seeing the flower trying to steal the bottle.

"Chi chi chi" The man-eating flower stopped moving, drooling while standing still.

It came to understand that Xia Yue wouldn’t hesitate to fulfill her threats. Beside her was a person emitting an aura of flora, whose power seemed to surpass its own. Excluding that human cub, the rest of them appeared to be stronger.
