Chapter 203: Name List (I)

Battles broke out outside the sea of flowers, but it was peaceful within the sea of flowers.

The sea of flowers that was originally a forbidden area for humans had become Chen Yiming’s backyard at this moment. It was like a paradise away from the outside world.

The mutant plants remained motionless, allowing the special dew to be absorbed completely by him. From the beginning to the end, they did not resist or attack.

“The requirement for the Level-3 Undying Body talent has decreased by another 100 Skill Points.”

Chen Yiming summoned his talent panel and glanced at the number for his Level-3 Undying Body talent.

Only a small portion of the reduction was due to the contribution from the special dew. Most of it was due to the contribution of the mutant plants themselves.

Of course, Chen Yiming didn’t kill the chicken to get the eggs. The talent of the plant species allowed them to gradually recover as long as their roots weren’t severed.

Chen Yiming walked up to Ye Yisha and waved his hand, causing the internal force barrier to dissipate into thin air. He said, “Hurry up and collect all the special dew you want. We still have to go to the next place.”

“…It’s not over yet?” Ye Yisha’s eyes widened and her mouth fell open.

She looked at the young man in front of her in surprise. Under the influence of the illusory internal force, the face of the expert she admired appeared in front of her.

Chen Yiming glanced at Ye Yisha, who was about to become a fangirl, and added, “With me here, the mutant plants won’t resist. You can drop your guard and act quickly.”

The mutant plants knew when to draw on their advantages and when to avoid disadvantageous situations. In the face of a powerful creature that far exceeded their skill level, their behavior changed from that of ferocious plants to ordinary plants.

Not long after, Ye Yisha collected the special dew and filled up the containers she carried with her.

The mutant plants that she had collected the dew from all looked delighted. Compared to Chen Yiming’s method of gathering, Ye Yisha’s actions were much more gentle.

She was not like Chen Yiming, who didn’t spare the mutant plants’ bodies when he took the dew.

The two of them walked out of the sea of flowers.

In the distant mountains, the mutant beasts that had been staring in the direction of the sea of flowers ran even further away.

“Where are we going next?” Ye Yisha turned around and asked.

Chen Yiming didn’t hide anything and said, “It’s said that the giant steel-spear spiders’ gathering place in the south of Jiangnan province is the most dangerous area in the entire province…”

“What!”

Ye Yisha was dumbfounded.

The giant steel-spear spiders were creatures that had deadly weapons all over their bodies.

The spider spears, which were comparable to steel, not only had the advantage in numbers, but were also poisonous. Humans of the same level were generally unwilling to fight them.

Other than that, the giant steel-spear spiders were creatures that lived in catacombs underground. The narrow combat environment was extremely disadvantageous to humans, causing very few adventurers to go there.

“It’s said that no adventurer has gone to the catacombs where the giant steel-spear spiders live for a long time. I’m very interested in finding out how many spider emperors have been born there,” Chen Yiming continued.

Interested?

Ye Yisha cursed in her heart and asked weakly, “Do I have to enter the catacombs too?”

The catacombs were created by the giant steel-spear spiders. There were only two ways to move in the underground passage: forward or backward. As a woman, Ye Yisha had no intention of entering if she had a choice.

It was not that she did not believe in the strength of the person beside her.

It was because if anything happened, she would not be able to escape with her small body. She would definitely be eaten by the giant steel-spear spiders in the cave.

“Don’t panic. After we confirm the location of the spider emperors, I’ll send you out to the surface first,” Chen Yiming explained, seeing through her worry.

The catacombs might be a terrain that restricted movements for ordinary warriors, but it would not be a problem for him who only needed one strike to kill the spiders.

Ye Yisha thought for a moment and felt a little relieved. However, she quickly became nervous again.

The situation in the catacombs was different from the sea of flowers. There was only one type of creature, the giant steel-spear spiders, inside.

How could the two of them not be discovered by the keen senses of the giant steel-spear spiders when they entered the catacomb directly?

She imagined the scene of the densely packed giant steel-spear spiders suddenly charging out from all directions.

At the thought of this, her face turned pale.

…

The gathering place of the giant steel-spear spiders was 500 to 600 kilometers away from the sea of flowers.

If Chen Yiming wanted to return to East Lake City before nightfall, he couldn’t travel slowly.

After leaving the sea of flowers, he carried Ye Yisha and traveled as quickly as a fighter jet. They headed straight for the southern part of Jiangnan province, attracting the attention of the various factions and the three big shots of Jiangnan City.

In the conference room, the remains of the conference table that had been destroyed by Song Chuansheng had been quickly cleaned up and replaced with a new one.

The three big shots of Jiangnan City frowned.

They had received news that the bloodthirsty wolves might have died. They had just ordered people to enter the sea of flowers to further confirm the outcome of the battle.

However, before they could rejoice, news of the masked man heading south arrived.

“The situation is still under control. The mutant beasts don’t have the strength of the peak of the warrior realm, so it shouldn’t be difficult for us to defend the cities.”

Wang Ronghui broke the silence.

Due to the unique situation of the sea of flowers, the defense of the surrounding cities was stronger.

In Creek Mountain City, which had a population similar to that of East Lake City, two guardians who had mastered the internal force transformation had been assigned to guard the city. The same was true for the military.

In addition, because the sea of flowers produced special dew, there were many adventurers at the warrior realm.

Overall, the defensive power of Creek Mountain City was about two to three times that of East Lake City.

“I don’t think it’s time to be at ease yet. It’s best if we give the order to send some of the higher-ups from the large sects to provide support to prevent the city from being invaded by mutant beasts,” Song Chuansheng suggested.

The higher-ups of the large sects he was referring to were people at the level of the court heads and peak masters.

Now that the sect master of the large sects had left the mountain, the strength of the entire Jiangnan province’s large sects had been weakened. Almost all the higher-ups were holed up in the sects guarding the mountain gates, so a large number of disciples had been sent down the mountain to keep track of the situation.

The conference room fell silent again.

Wang Ronghui and Zhang Renhou did not give their opinions immediately.

Under the current situation, if they forcefully sent those court heads and peak masters out of the mountains, although there was a high chance that they would not dare to disobey the orders, such a move would undoubtedly offend them.

As the higher-ups of a province, if the people under them were completely disappointed in them, the entire Jiangnan province would become a mess. There would definitely be a huge problem during the next crisis.

“Knock knock knock!”

Before they could come to a conclusion, there was an anxious knock on the door.

“Come in!”

The door to the meeting room was pushed open and an officer quickly walked over.

“Report. We just received news that the masked man is moving in the direction of the catacombs where the giant steel-spear spiders live.”

The moment he finished speaking, three terrifying auras were immediately emitted in the meeting room, causing the officer who was reporting the news to feel his hair stand on end. He was like a small tree facing a storm.

“How dare he?”

Song Chuansheng slammed his fist against the conference table angrily again.

The poor conference table that had just been replaced broke apart again.

Wang Ronghui and Zhang Renhou took a deep breath and quickly suppressed their auras.

Because very few adventurers went to the catacombs, very little information was available to the civilians. However, as the higher-ups of Jiangnan province, they naturally had detailed information about the catacombs.

There were nine spider emperors in the catacombs. In terms of numbers, they were on completely different levels from the two bloodthirsty wolves in the sea of flowers.

All along, these nine spider emperors had been a huge threat to Jiangnan province. They were worried that one of them would one day break through to the master realm.

The three big shots of Jiangnan City had once tried to make a report to the higher-ups, requesting the help of those at the master realm to wipe out the nest.

However, because of the special underground environment in the catacombs and the space-travel passage connected to it underground, the nine spider emperors could directly obtain food from the other side of the space-travel passage and retreat to the otherworld whenever they sensed danger.

In addition, the martial arts masters had more important matters to attend to, so it was difficult for them to help out. Under the circumstances that the nine spider emperors were staying in the catacombs and did not come out to cause trouble, the matter of wiping out the nest had been put aside until now.
