C1549 Autophagy
After the huge flower bud fell into the swamp, it splashed up a lot of mud. At the same time, the flower bud began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the flower bud withered, some of the vines powerlessly drooped down and began to rapidly shrink. Clearly, it had already 'died'.
Qin Yun was delighted when he saw this. He never expected that his attack would immediately work. He had killed a plant with a single strike.
"Attack the flower buds, that is their weakness!" Qin Yun growled as the Dragoncry Sword in his hand flashed once more before slashing at another gigantic flower.
"Alright!" Mo Zhu and Huan Yang nodded. The light of light from the weapons in their hands flashed as they also slashed at the flower bud …
This move was undoubtedly very effective. In a short period of time, seven or eight flower buds had been chopped off and had completely withered away. From the looks of it, there was no need for the three of them to run away, they could solve the problem on the spot.
Seeing the hope, the three of them got braver and braver, and started to make trouble for the plants.
At this moment, the few remaining flower buds had already bloomed. The massive beak flower emitted a strange fragrance. However, after grasping their weakness, Qin Yun and company showed no fear as they continued their assault on the beanstalk flower.
However, what happened next left everyone speechless. While the flowers were defending themselves, they used vines to send a few withered flower buds to their mouths as if they were trying to devour them.
Qin Yun frowned. It was usually insects or animals that devoured each other. This was the first time he saw plants devouring each other.
"Whatever, let's get rid of them first!" A golden light flashed in Qin Yun's eyes as he slashed the Dragoncry Sword viciously at the gigantic flower tube.
After the flower had devoured its kind, its aura immediately soared, and a dazzling green light appeared around its body. The flower slowly grew bigger, and the vine flashed a green light before becoming extremely hard.
"Clang!" With a loud sound, the Dragoncry Sword clashed with the vine. After a crisp sound of steel clashing, it was immediately blocked.
"What!" Qin Yun was alarmed. He never expected that the vines would suddenly become so tough.
Despite being shocked, Qin Yun retreated immediately after missing the blow. That was because countless tendrils were rushing at him.
It was not only Qin Yun who encountered such a situation. Mo Zhu and Fantasy Yang's' opponents' had also increased their strength through devouring their own kind, forcing them to retreat.
After forcing back three people, the plants did not immediately give chase. Instead, they extended their vines towards the other flower buds that they had yet to devour.
"This is the first time I've seen what they are." Fantasy Yang looked at the plants warily.
"The growth of these swamps suddenly became very strong. No matter what they are, we cannot stay any longer. Let's go!" Ink Bamboo shouted and immediately retreated into the distance.
Huan Yang and Qin Yun looked at each other. Mo Zhu's perception of this aspect far exceeded theirs. He immediately followed behind her.
As the giant flowers saw the three of them preparing to escape, a dazzling light flashed through the giant tube shaped flower buds. Then, as if they were filled with air, they began to bulge at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Are they going to self-destruct?" Huan Yang looked at the blooming flowers.
"Although I don't know what they're doing, they're definitely not self-destructing!" Mo Zhu frowned.
Qin Yun suddenly had a bad premonition. The plants must be planning on using some tricks.
"Puff …" Those plants and flowers fiercely spat out into the sky. Countless green thorns shot up into the sky like raindrops, covering the entire sky.
"I'll do it!"
A bright light flashed on Huan Yang's body, and four light-yellow divine stones appeared around him. These divine stones were brimming with earth-attributed spiritual energy.
Originally, these divine stones were at least rank 1 divine stones, and the power they could unleash was also very strong. However, after going through the Mountain Barrier, they could at most release the power of a rank 3 divine stone.
"Boulder's Formation!" With a low shout, Huan Yang waved both her hands and the four divine stones instantly disappeared from where they were. When they reappeared, they were already fifty meters away from him, and they were flashing with a dazzling yellow light.
"Swish!"
The lights of the four divine stones intersected and immediately formed four curtains of light. The four curtains of light once again formed a barrier that protected Qin Yun and company.2
The Earth Attribute was one of the most defensive powers. Light shone from those light screens, and the green spikes struck the screens. "Ding ding ding …" With a crisp sound, it created countless spirit energy ripples on the rock formation and then all of them fell into the muddy swamp.
Although these green spikes were sharp, they weren't too powerful. After a round of attacks, they weren't able to break through Huan Yang's defenses.
"Haha, how is it? My Boulder's Formation is still alright, right?" Huan Yang smiled.
But in the next second, his smile froze on his face.
After spitting out the thorns, the spirit energy became abnormally 'weakened'. The flower and vine began to rapidly wither and disappear …
"Look, they seem to be dead." Mo Zhu pointed at the withered plants and said with a frown.
"Down, quickly look down!" Huan Yang looked at the swamp beneath her feet with a shocked expression. This was because when those green thorns fell into the swamp, they immediately took root and sprouted countless green vines. At the same time, countless flower cylinders around one meter in diameter grew.
Although these tube shaped flowers looked very small, they were very numerous. Looking at the entire swamp, almost all of it was covered by them.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle …" Countless vines extended in all directions, gushing towards the surrounding tube of flowers. They began to frantically devour their own species!
In the blink of an eye, those one-meter-long flowers had grown to the size of a hundred meters in diameter, and they were still increasing in size …
"This thing isn't dead at all, it's just replicating itself!" A light flashed in Huan Yang's hand. She immediately withdrew the Earth-attribute Divine Stones from the four corners, and continued to head out of the swamps.
Those huge flowers devoured each other, and there was no time to worry about the three of them running away, they just let them go.
When the trio reached the edge of the swamp, Qin Yun's pupils constricted as he came to a halt. It was unknown when the gigantic swamp had been surrounded by an invisible barrier …
