Relatively speaking, Ripple of Light is much more cost-effective than Aria of the Goddess of Light in this situation. Although Aria of the Goddess of Light is undoubtedly powerful, it also consumes a great deal of spiritual power. Using it to cut through vines and clear a path would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

After advancing for another quarter of an hour, the number of plants ahead suddenly became sparse. Continuing forward, the swamp even became empty.

Long Haochen stopped, frowning slightly. The situation before him was clearly abnormal. He had been to the Dream Paradise and, although he didn’t have a vast understanding of nature, he knew that plants were living things. Plants that could survive in this swamp had clearly adapted to the environment. With the swamp underfoot and the poisonous mist in the air unchanged, the originally dense swamp vegetation had suddenly thinned out. This could only mean one thing: there was something in this open area that could threaten the growth of these plants.

Seeing Long Haochen stop, the others immediately tightened their formation, focusing their attention outwards.

Cai’er curiously moved closer to Long Haochen, “Why did you stop?”

Long Haochen looked at her in surprise. Lately, unless he spoke to her first, she generally wouldn’t initiate a conversation. But when their eyes met, he was surprised to find that Cai’er’s gaze was much softer.

Long Haochen knew her too well; he could sense even subtle changes. He thought to himself, “Could it be that the attack earlier triggered some memory recovery?” He didn’t realize that Cai’er’s change wasn’t due to memory recovery, but rather because of the care and protection he had unintentionally shown.

“Something’s not right. The environment here has changed too much. There must be something that threatens the swamp plants.”

While talking to Cai’er, Long Haochen expanded his senses as much as possible, feeling in areas beyond his vision.

“It seems there are plants again ahead. Everyone be careful, be on high alert.” As he spoke, Long Haochen directly put away the Glorious Sacred Shield, transferred Ripple of Light to his left hand, and a golden light shone on his right, releasing Aria of the Goddess of Light.

The Glorious Sacred Shield had been severely damaged when dealing with the Sen Rans’ Inner Core. It was heavily damaged, so using the dual swords as the Scourge Knight would be more effective.

Continuing forward for about a hundred meters, as Long Haochen had sensed, plants reappeared ahead. However, they were completely different from the plants they had encountered before. There were no vines, but rather huge flowers.

These flowers grew strangely. Each one was at least five meters apart from the others, making them very sparse. The large leaves were slightly curled, and the stems, reaching up to five meters tall, were at least a foot in diameter.

Most peculiar was their tops, a huge bud. The thickest part was probably big enough for two people to hug. The buds were tightly closed, and in the entire area, not a single giant flower was blooming. Their massive bodies swayed slightly in the swamp gas and poisonous mist.

Upon arriving here, everyone felt the same thing: silence. Yes, it was too quiet here, without any sound. The only plant was this giant bud. Even when their bodies swayed slightly, there was no sound. In the previous journey, they had not encountered any monster attacks.

When a place is too quiet, it feels desolate. This was the feeling Long Haochen and the others had now.

“You stay here. Han Yu, take my position. I’ll go take a look,” Long Haochen said in a deep voice.

Faced with such a strange situation, he decided to go check it out himself first. There was definitely something wrong with these giant flowers. It just hadn’t manifested yet.

Four spiritual wings quietly unfolded on his back, and gentle Holy Light began to rise on Long Haochen’s body. At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of Bai Xiaomo from the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition. Plants aren’t necessarily safe! Back then, Bai Xiaomo used plants to make Yang Wenzhao suffer a great loss.

With one step, Long Haochen was ten meters away. His eyes instantly became sharp. He was now within twenty meters of those giant flowers, and a sense of danger arose spontaneously.

However, he didn’t stop. Instead, he quickened his pace, heading straight for the nearest giant flower.

He was now five meters away from the giant flower, and at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

The giant flower closest to Long Haochen suddenly shook. Then, its thick stem abruptly plunged downwards, and the giant bud smashed towards Long Haochen.

Accompanied by a strange roar, the giant bud suddenly opened in three sections, like a huge harelip, biting towards Long Haochen.

The bud was so large when opened that it could easily swallow Long Haochen whole. And when the bud opened, it revealed its hideous true form.

The three giant petals were blood-red, covered with barbed teeth. The tips of these teeth were sharp and slightly curved, while the part connecting to the petals was much thicker. Like sharp hooks. Without a doubt, once bitten by such a terrifying mouth, it wouldn’t be easy to escape.

Even more chilling was that in the center of the flower, after it opened, a hideous ghost face was revealed. The strange roar erupted from this terrifying ghost face.

Long Haochen had already prepared for a response. The moment the giant flower smashed down, he moved.

Amidst the sound of a dragon’s roar, the dual swords danced, and he shot into the sky with amazing spinning speed, using Ascending Dragon Strike.

Dazzling golden light shone on Long Haochen’s body, like a golden dragon soaring into the sky. Amidst the blooming of rich Holy Light spiritual power, he collided fiercely with the giant flower.

“Pfft—”

Dark red juice splattered everywhere. Long Haochen left a trail of golden light in the air, drawing a parabola back towards his companions.

At the same time as he collided with the terrifying giant flower, the surrounding giant flowers suddenly bit towards him. Their thick stems stretched out in an instant. For a moment, the air was filled with shrill roars.

These giant flowers were quite powerful. They didn’t seem to fear the Holy Light flames on Long Haochen’s body. The giant flower that had taken the brunt of Long Haochen’s Ascending Dragon Strike was only crushed one of its petals, and not completely broken. Long Haochen’s Ascending Dragon Strike collided with the teeth on its petals, erupting in a loud clang, and even sparks flew. The only petal that was destroyed was due to the powerful attack of Aria of the Goddess of Light.

Flapping his spiritual wings, Long Haochen’s speed increased sharply, dodging the attacks of several giant flowers. He then landed back among his companions.

The length of the giant flowers’ stems was limited. They failed to catch Long Haochen, but they kept roaring angrily in his direction. The swaying of all the giant flowers became violent, and a cloud of pink mist began to ripple from within them, drifting towards Long Haochen and the others.

“Careful,” Long Haochen said in a low voice.

Without him needing to order it, a layer of Holy Light Shield had already bloomed. At the same time, Saint Guard No. 11 emitted the cold air that could condense the moisture in the mist.

However, surprisingly, the pink mist wasn’t affected by the cold air and continued to drift towards them, quickly attaching to the Holy Light Shield.

With a series of dense “pfft” sounds, the Holy Light Shield only lasted for less than three seconds before disappearing into golden light.

All of this happened quickly. Even though Long Haochen quickly added another Holy Light Shield, a wisp of pink mist still drifted in.

Long Haochen’s Holy Light Shield was different from Han Yu’s. His spiritual power was much purer than Han Yu’s, so its endurance was also stronger.

Lin Xin quickly sprayed a heart-burning flame from his hand, sweeping towards the pink mist.

But strangely, the pink mist didn’t fear even the high-temperature heart-burning flame. Under the impact of the flame, it quickly dissipated, flying to the side.

“Hold your breath,” Long Haochen shouted to Chen Ying’er. The mist was drifting in her direction.

Chen Ying’er reacted quickly, but still inhaled a small wisp of the pink mist. A strong sweet fragrance made Chen Ying’er stunned, and her expression quickly became rigid.

Long Haochen had released another layer of Holy Light Shield to resist the terrifying erosion of the pink mist. He looked anxiously at Chen Ying’er.

Chen Ying’er stared blankly ahead, then slowly took a step, about to walk towards the terrifying giant flowers. Her mind seemed to be completely unconscious.

Wang Yuanyuan quickly grabbed her. Lin Xin reacted quickly, quickly took out a bottle of blue liquid, drank it into his mouth, and then sprayed it on Chen Ying’er’s face. Chen Ying’er shivered, and then woke up.

“I, what happened to me just now?”

Looking at the dazed Chen Ying’er, everyone couldn’t help but be horrified. Although Chen Ying’er’s actual combat power wasn’t strong, she was a Sixth-Rank powerhouse! As a Sixth-Rank Summoner, she was controlled by such a small wisp of poisonous mist, showing how powerful the pink poisonous mist was. No wonder there was no grass growing around here.

“We retreat,” Long Haochen said decisively. These pink poisonous mists were something they couldn’t deal with at all.
