Chapter 322: The Maze Swamp
For monks, the quiet night is a good time to rest, recuperate, and meditate.
However, for the monsters, after the Golden Crow fell to the ground, the things that grew in the darkness were all very nutritious.
Night is when monsters are most active, especially those that already live in dark swamps and mires.
It's not that they are afraid of light, but at night, the strength of these monsters will be invisibly amplified by the mottled air that grows in the darkness, making them more comfortable.
Almost as soon as the sun set, the monsters lurking in the vast maze swamp, attracted by the scent of the monks, began to stir.
The first things to come out were some small creatures like poisonous insects and scorpions.
Because of its low intelligence, it rushed towards Lin Xia and the others without any regard, launching bites and poisonous gas attacks.
Although they were all low-level monsters, Lin Xia and the others did not dare to take them lightly because of their large numbers.
Lin Xia used several stacks of explosive talismans until all the poisonous insects and scorpions were blown to ashes.
However, this night was destined not to be peaceful.
Before Lin Xia and the others could kill the third wave of monsters emerging from the swamp, a strange fragrance suddenly wafted through the night.
Immediately, the spiritual energy above the entire maze swamp began to fluctuate violently, as if something was gathering strength.
The monsters, which were already extremely violent, became even more excited because of this sudden change.
However, it was not directed at Lin Xia and the others.
The monsters have retreated back to the maze swamp, but have not gone back under the swamp.
A pair of dark eyes stared straight at a certain place, and the fanaticism and madness in their eyes were clearly revealed.
At this time, Lin Xia and the others' eyes also fell on the swamp mire.
Under the moonlight, above the maze swamp, charming nightmare flowers opened their petals, looking like gaping bloody mouths in the strange light and the psychedelic and poisonous fragrance.
Lin Xia and the others immediately blocked their sense of smell and covered themselves with a spiritual power shield.
But the monsters were not like that. Not only that, they were also intoxicated by the fragrance of the Nightmare Flower.
As the petals of the Nightmare Flower fully opened, the emotions of those monsters were also aroused to the extreme.
At this time, no matter whether it was other monsters or cultivators who wanted to approach the Nightmare Flower, they would undoubtedly be attacked by the full force of these monsters.
When the Nightmare Flowers release their fragrance, they are also sowing their seeds. At this time, even monsters will not take the initiative to pick the flowers.
Perhaps this is the rule of this world.
No matter how lowly or noble an existence is, Heaven will give it the opportunity to continue.
There is nothing wrong with survival itself.
……
As the fragrance released by the Nightmare Flower became weaker and weaker, the brief tranquility above the Barrier Swamp was finally broken.
The first to take action was a fifth-level Abyss Miasma Rhino.
However, this Abyss Miasma Rhino was torn to pieces by the other excited monsters before it could even touch the shadow of the Nightmare Flower under the moonlight.
Even the demon pill in his body was eaten by a sixth-level swamp crocodile.
The battle is almost imminent.
The monsters that had originally united to kill Lin Xia, Xiao Chu and the others have begun to kill each other for the Nightmare Flower.
Blood of animals of various colors and broken limbs were flying everywhere, and the bloody smell in the air was so strong that it was nauseating.
In particular, this is a group of poisonous monsters, and each one is more poisonous than the other. Lin Xia and the others dare not be careless at all.
Who knows which monster’s blood is poisonous and which monster’s saliva is poisonous?
The mature sixth-level spiritual herb was growing there, and Lin Xia naturally would not allow such a good thing to be ruined by a group of monsters.
At least, they have waited for so long that their efforts cannot be in vain.
However, devouring the Nightmare Flowers has become a common occurrence for these monsters living in the Maze Swamp. If a few of them suddenly come out to snatch the fruits, even if they don't covet the spiritual power of Lin Xia and the others, it would be unreasonable for them not to tear them to pieces.
"Lei Ze, be careful!" Lin Xia shouted and threw an explosive talisman at the shadow giant lizard that was spraying venom at Lei's little brother.
However, it was too late. As Brother Lei dodged, a few drops of venom still stained one of his wings.
In a very short time, all the new feathers on Brother Lei's body fell off.
The pink flesh beneath the feathers also turned bluish-black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was obvious at a glance that the creature had been severely poisoned.
The Shadow Lizard is a seventh-level monster. The venom in its mouth is extremely poisonous, but what is worth mentioning is its ability to hide its body.
Look, during the past few days in the Maze Swamp, Lin Xia and the others hadn't noticed that there was another seventh-level monster in the swamp.
When I think about it, I feel a little scared.
Of course, this also caused Brother Lei to fall into the trap due to carelessness.
Originally, as a sixth-level spirit beast, even without wings, Brother Lei could stand in the air.
Therefore, even if the newly grown feathers fell off due to poisoning, Brother Lei should have been able to stand in the air.
At most, as the toxin penetrates deeper into the body, it will be unable to do anything.
However, the accident still happened.
When the chill came, Brother Lei simply lowered his head and felt dizzy. He wailed in pain, "Pearl, I'm not worthy of you!"
When Lin Xia and the others looked over, they saw Little Brother Lei falling straight down.
It seemed that this guy was so embarrassed by his own bald and dark appearance that he fainted naked under the double blow of toxins and self-esteem.
If Ling Cang had not reacted quickly, he would have been swallowed up by the maze swamp.
If the shadow lizard dares to hurt Brother Lei, its fate will not be good. It will be dead in a short time.
In addition to the demon pill, even the corpse was dissected by Lin Xia.
When we get out of the secret realm, we can exchange it for spirit stones and use it as compensation for Brother Lei’s mental damage.
This night was extremely long because of the battle with the monster.
But, it passed as expected.
When a new day arrived, only a small number of monsters in the maze swamp retreated to save their lives.
The rest died at the hands of Lin Xia and Xiao Chu.
Of course, Lin Xia picked several Phantom Nightmare Flowers as she wished.
However, the poison in Brother Lei's body is more important at the moment.
Although he had taken the detoxification pill, it could not completely detoxify the Shadow Lizard's poison, but only delayed the spread of the poison.
We still have to wait for the Jade Dew Grass to mature and refine the Jade Dew Pill before we can completely detoxify.
