"It's a matter of life and death. There's still some distance between this place and Heaven's Eye Lake. Should we continue moving forward?"

Bai Yi was determined to retreat, and said fearfully: "There must be even stronger demonic beast on our way here, this mission is not something that we can complete, I think we should give up on it."

There were very few disciples in the Sky Realm Academy who had the Lifestealer Realm to penetrate deep into this place, so it was normal for Bai Yi to be afraid.

Qing Han objected: "We're already here, we can't let ourselves die in vain. We can't just turn back like that after walking for half an hour.

These words were indeed unpleasant to hear, but they were also the truth. Everyone could get an extra five points, which was equivalent to five million silver taels.

Bing Tong agreed: "Just now, these bloodhound have already helped us clean up a large portion of the demonic beast. The next section of the road will be a bit easier, let's continue."

Bai Yi looked at Di Chen again, but Di Chen didn't care, he just followed along. Seeing this, Bai Yi could no longer object, as he did not dare to return by himself.

They would occasionally see a few demonic beast that were easily killed by the four of them and would be given to Di Chen as the demon corpses. However, after walking for more than twenty minutes, the number of demonic beast had increased, and this place had already left the range of the bloodhound. From this point on, Demonic King would appear, and the four of them had to be extra careful.

Di Chen rubbed his eyes, which were emitting a sharp light. He noticed that the black halos surrounding Bing Tong and the other two were thicker, which meant that they would very likely die on the road ahead. He groaned in his heart, and it seemed that he was going to be in even more danger.

"Hmm? Look, "Bai Yi suddenly stopped everyone and pointed:" That is a black ringed snake.

Everyone looked towards the direction that Bai Yi was pointing at. Twenty metres away, there was a huge snake with a coiled up body. This snake had a black ring on its body and a black crown on its head.

Bing Tong's expression changed as he said, "This black ringed snake is of Demonic King rank. Let's go around it."

"Wait," Qing Han said hesitantly: "This black ringed snake is a first grade Demonic King and we haven't discovered us yet. If we sneak attack, we might be able to kill this black ringed snake.

"Are you crazy?" Bing Tong hurriedly explained: "This black ringed snake is a Demonic King, how can it not notice us? Under normal circumstances, snakes wouldn't casually attack other people after eating, but if they encounter danger they would spit out something they eat and attack you. Your idea of hitting it is simply courting death."

Bing Tong was knowledgeable and understood all kinds of habits of demonic beast, so hearing her say this, Qing Han had no choice but to give up.

In fact, it was just as Bing Tong had said. If not for the fact that everyone was lucky and met the black ringed snake, it would have ambushed them right after they finished eating.

The group had no choice but to take a detour. On the left was a miasma, and without a doctor accompanying them, it was very dangerous. They could only take a detour on the right. Although it was a long way, it was still relatively safe.

The vegetation on the right was lush, and trees towered into the forest. There was no road, and it was likely that no one had passed through here.

Suddenly!

"Hmm?" Di Chen frowned, he stopped in his tracks, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

"Di Chen, what's wrong?" Bing Tong continued to look at what Di Chen was doing. Other than the lush vegetation behind him, there was nothing else.

"I'm fine," Di Chen said as he shook his head. Ever since he had cultivated to the eighth stage of the Scholar's Realm, he had become much more sensitive than before. Although he did not sense any aura, he had clearly sensed that someone was following him.

The group continued their journey. Not long after they left, a bush behind them suddenly shook and a white wolf head poked out.

"Weird," Bing Tong stopped after walking for another 10 minutes or so. He frowned, and looked around vigilantly, other than a few tall trees and a few stones, there was nothing else.

Qing Han asked: "Bing Tong, what's the problem?"

Bing Tong was worried: "This place is already halfway up the mountain, there should be a lot of demonic beast, but here not only are there no demonic beast, there are even no normal insects, don't you think it's strange?

Once she said that, the others revealed a hint of worry. Previously, they didn't see any demonic beast either, and then a group of red-eyed wolves suddenly jumped out. The current situation was exactly the same as before.

"It's indeed too quiet, there shouldn't be any Demonic King, right?" Bai Yi retreated a little, and the few of them placed their backs against each other, vigilantly looking around them.

At this moment, the vines coiled around the tree trunk suddenly moved like snakes, rolling towards the four of them.

"Not good," Di Chen was the first to react, he immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "Set" written on it, and threw it out.

Qing Han quickly took out his Blackwater Sword and slashed at the vines, cutting off all the vines one by one.

Bing Tong and Bai Yi took out their swords and slashed at the vines, the vines were extremely tough, if not for the three of them being powerful, they would not be able to cut through the vines, but there were too many vines, so they did not stop.

At this moment, a huge rock in the distance suddenly split into several pieces. The "rock" seemed to have its mouth wide open. One could even see reverse thorns within it. These reverse thorns were like teeth.

"What is this?" Di Chen had seen many demonic beast, but this was the first time he saw a plant that could attack humans.

"It's a man-eating flower," Bing Tong said anxiously. "This flower will swallow the demonic beast, you must not be entangled by it. Di Chen, we will protect you, you better hurry up and kill it."

There were also many rare plants in the Martial Region Continent that could hunt insects, and some were even able to hunt large demonic beast s. This kind of plant was countless times stronger than those demonic beast s, and the man-eating flower was the most common type.

Its vines were poisonous, its poison could numb its prey, and it was difficult to struggle free from its effects in the same realm. Ordinary man-eating flowers like these were equivalent to level nine demonic beast, and some older man-eating flowers could even cover the entire mountain. Even Martial Saint would be devoured by it, it was extremely terrifying.

Everyone then understood why there were no demonic beast here. It was probably because the man-eating flower had swallowed them.

Ye Bodhi immediately wrote a "Slash", and the "Slash" character turned into a ten feet long blade that floated towards the man-eating flower.

At this time, an arm-thick vine came chopping down at the word "cut". The word "cut" was shattered with a poof, but the vine was also cut in half.

"Seems like Beheading formula was unable to kill the man-eating flower," Di Chen wrote another "Broken" character that floated towards the man-eating flower. In the end, it was destroyed by the vines of the man-eating flower again, and again.

Whoosh!

Just at this moment, a vine whipped towards Di Chen, and this scene was too sudden. Di Chen hastily punched the vine, and with a pu sound, he shattered the vine, but he was also sent flying by a huge force, heavily smashing onto the ground.

"This flower is even stronger than a level nine demonic beast," Di Chen complained on the inside. If his realm was at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, he could forcefully rush to the man eating flower to kill it.

Bing Tong could also tell that Di Chen was in a difficult situation, and immediately said: "Qing Han, Bai Yi, you two cover me, I used martial soul to freeze this man-eating flower."

As she spoke, she tapped the center of her forehead and a burst of cold energy surged out. All the vines that were affected by the cold energy were frozen, but Bing Tong's cold energy was limited in its coverage, and there were too many vines here, so she could not freeze every single one of them. There were also many vines that were pulled towards Bing Tong, who was unable to protect himself while using his martial soul.

After a few breaths of time, the cold spread to the man eating plant and it quickly froze into ice, like a huge ice sculpture. However, it was obvious that the man eating plant was not deep enough to break free at any time.

"Di Chen, quickly, I won't be able to hold on for long." Bing Tong anxiously said as she clenched his teeth and released the martial soul.

Di Chen quickly passed through the frozen vines and arrived in front of the man eating plant. He wrote a huge word on the man eating plant, "Break", then quickly retreated and shouted, "Break!"

Bang!

With an explosion, the man-eating flower was smashed into smithereens with shallow flesh. The man-eating flower was a plant, but it had the same flesh as the demonic beast.

Just then, the vines collapsed and began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"Once we pass this place, we'll be at Heaven's Eye Lake. Let's hurry up and leave this place." Bai Yi did not dare to stay any longer.

"Wait a minute," Bing Tong picked up the man eating plant's flesh, smiled and said: "The man eating plant's flesh is different from the demonic beast's, you can eat it raw, this flesh can be used not only for cultivation, but also to hide the human spirit in our bodies, you guys can all eat a little, this way you can avoid the demonic beast."

With that, he took out a piece of flesh and stuffed it into his mouth.

This was the first time Di Chen had heard of meat that could be eaten raw, and he felt disgusted when he saw it. He thought about it, but still picked it up and started to eat, the meat did not have a meat taste, but tasted like a fruit, a crisp and sweet taste, and there was even a boundless energy entering Di Chen's body. Di Chen was secretly delighted, he immediately activated the Pearl of Life and picked up the man eating flower's meat to eat it with all his might.

The rest were speechless when they saw Di Chen wolfing down his food, afraid that someone would snatch it away from them. This guy was really greedy, these man eating flowers were useful for a few people, but he actually ate them so crazily?

Bing Tong said: "Di Chen, while this meat can help you improve your cultivation, it still needs to be refined slowly. Eating it this way is useless."

Di Chen acted as if he did not hear his words, picked up the man eating plant and stuffed it into his mouth, eating very quickly.
