685 Killing Out a Path

They were unable to find anything gathered again to discuss a solution.

Allen Smith reported, “I’ve searched thoroughly. I didn’t find anything, even underground or on the tree.”

Ye Yifan said, “That’s strange. This place looks very normal. It doesn’t seem any different from the other forests around here.”

Hans Wilson replied, “I don’t understand. There must be something special about this place.”

Xu Han asked, “Is there nothing special about this place?”

Luo Wei said helplessly, “Looks like the second option won’t work either. We can only take the third option.”

Hearing this, the others’ faces turned bitter.

The third option was to fight against the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

After all, there were a lot of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers outside, surrounding this place in three circles. Liu Yan was probably the only one present who could escape from the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

As for the rest, they could only fight the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers head-on. However, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were not only terrifyingly large in number, but also extremely strange. They specialized in spirit energy attacks, and their strange Hallucinatory Pollen was even more difficult to guard against.”

For a moment, they were in despair.

“It seems like we have no other way out this time,” Ye Yifan said.

“That’s right,” Hans Wilson said. “It’s impossible to kill our way out of this group of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.”

Xu Han said, “Are we going to die this time?”

Luo Wei replied, “If it doesn’t work, we’ll give it a try. Staying here and waiting for death isn’t a solution.”

Allen Smith said, “These Hallucinatory Pollens will cause us to fall into an illusionary realm, making it impossible to guard against them. Otherwise, with our powerful strength, even if we don’t kill all the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, we can at least kill our way out.”

The rest of them felt the same.

Although the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had 7-star combat strength, it included the attack strength of their Hallucinatory Pollen.

If the effects of the Hallucinatory Pollen were not taken into account, the actual combat power of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was not even as good as that of Whirlwind Turtle from before. It was estimated their actual combat strength was only around 4-star to 5-star.

Among the few people present, the weakest had 8-star combat strength, and even Liu Yan had 12-star combat strength. It was a piece of cake for them to deal with these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers with 4-star and 5-star combat strength.

The difference in strength was too great, and quantity could not make up for quality. No matter how many Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers there were, it was meaningless.

The key now was that they could not avoid the Hallucinatory Pollen. Their spirit energy was relatively ordinary, so they could not even resist the Hallucinatory Pollen at all. Once they touched it, they would fall into an illusion and lose combat power.

Liu Yan looked at the few of them, who seemed to be in low spirits, and could not help but say, “Actually, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. Just now, when I led you to escape the encirclement of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, I made a few discoveries. These discoveries may be of great help to us now. The first one is that the main attack method of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers is the Hallucinatory Pollen, and the Hallucinatory Pollen mainly attacks us through smell. At that time, I tried to hold my breath, and the Hallucinatory Pollen did not affect me at all.”

Hearing Liu Yan’s words, the dejected people suddenly became spirited.

Ye Yifan realized something. “Now that you mention it, it’s true. Every time we entered the illusionary realm, we would always smell a pleasant fragrance.”

Xu Han said, “I thought it smelled good, turns out it’s the Hallucinatory Pollen. It put us in an illusion and almost killed us.”

“If that’s the case,” said Allen Smith, “We might have a chance. I can hold my breath for ten minutes at most.”

Hans Wilson said, “I can hold my breath for ten minutes too. But ten minutes might not be enough to break out of the encirclement of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, right? After all, the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers’ encirclement seems thick, with many layers.”

Luo Wei said, “I’m an assassin, so I’ve trained in this. I can hold my breath for up to 20 minutes. Even if I can kill my way out, it’ll be tough.”

When Liu Yan heard them, he could not help but say, “Maybe we can’t kill all of them at once, but a few more times. Anyway, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers don’t seem to be able to enter this area. Although we don’t know the reason, we really can’t enter. Then we’ll hold our breath and go out to kill some Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. When the time is almost up, we’ll immediately retreat and go out to kill again. I don’t believe we can’t weaken the number of these fantasy man-eating flowers. At that time, we’ll have a way to kill our way out.”

Hans Wilson agreed. “That makes sense. No matter how many of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers there are, there will come a day when we kill fewer. If we really can’t do it, we’ll kill them all!”

“Haha, I’m smart,” Xu Han said. “I’ve got a lot of food in my storage ring. It’s enough for us to stay here for a few days.”

Ye Yifan said, “The food isn’t important. If there’s not enough, we can ask the captain to fly out and bring back some food.”

“If that’s the case, it’s a good thing for us this time.” Luo Wei chimed in.

Allen Smith nodded. “Yes, I’ve noticed it too. Without the Hallucinatory Pollen, the actual combat strength of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers is only at 4-star or 5-star, which is very easy to deal with. However, they’re monster plants with seven-star combat strength, and they provide us with a lot of experience points. We can kill these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers to gain experience, quickly level up, and increase our combat strength!”

After some discussion, they finally realized they could avoid the Hallucinatory Pollen by holding their breath.

The Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers with actual 4-star or 5-star battle strength. However, Liu Yan and the others could obtain the battle experience points of 7-star combat strength monsters.

Of course, the premise of all this was to confirm that he could avoid the Hallucinatory Pollen by holding his breath.

If they couldn’t avoid it, everything would be in vain.

Liu Yan continued, “Don’t worry about that. You guys stay in this area for a while. Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf will accompany me to try it out. Even if there’s danger, I can return with Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf’s help. If it’s proven that we can avoid the Hallucinatory Pollen by holding our breath, we might be able to improve our strength by a lot this time. In addition, I’ve also discovered a second thing. It seems that these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are afraid of fire. The effect of my fire attack is obvious. Usually, even 4-star creatures can’t be killed so easily with fire but these 7-star Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers can be burned by fire easily.”

Hearing this, the others were relieved they could avoid the Hallucinatory Pollen. Furthermore, with the help of Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, even if Liu Yan’s experiment failed, he would not be in danger and could still return.

After learning that using fire to attack the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower would have a better attack effect, everyone was somewhat happy.
