Chapter 336: Self-Detonation!

Chapter 336: Self-Detonation!

Li Wei was not particularly surprised to hear Kristiman say he belonged to the Flower Consorts.

When he saw that the other party knew Evelyn, he had already guessed their identity.

Alice had sent crystal flowers to four members of the Flower Consorts.

Yet he himself received two crystal flowers mailed by Alice.

This indicated that at least two Flower Consorts were staying with Alice.

Naturally, he deduced his identity.

A very simple logical deduction.

Li Wei introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Li Wei, she is Lilith, and we come from the Tower of Elements."

He raised the tiger's banner to simply intimidate Kristiman.

Thus, even if he harbored ill intentions, he would dare not move rashly.

Li Wei did not fully trust Kristiman, nor had he considered him an ally yet.

Although Kristiman was indeed a Flower Consort, Li Wei did not know him well.

Rashly trusting a stranger was irresponsible towards oneself.

Upon hearing Li Wei and Lilith came from the Tower of Elements, Kristiman showed a look of surprise.

"The Tower of Elements?"

He had heard of the Tower of Elements' legendary reputation, instinctively categorizing Li Wei and Lilith as powerful mages.

That Evelyn could summon mages from the Tower of Elements was also something Kristiman hadn't expected.

Seeing there was nothing more to do here, Li Wei shifted his attention to the illusion body.

The illusion body flew rapidly above the forest, skimming the treetops at high speed towards where Evelyn was located.

Rumble!

A massive vibration echoed from afar, accompanied by a plume of thick smoke rising.

Li Wei realized Evelyn might have encountered enemies.

He hurriedly said: "Something seems to have happened over there with Evelyn, let us go support her quickly."

Hearing this, Kristiman looked towards the distance, where a faint trail of thick smoke rose against the horizon.

Without careful observation, it was impossible to see clearly.

With a solemn expression, Kristiman said: "Evelyn likely encountered Poison Scorpions!"

"Let us hurry to help."

Li Wei leaped into the air, transforming into a trail of firelight flying towards the distance.

Lilith transformed into a shadow, moving swiftly upon the ground, her speed no slower than Li Wei's.

Kristiman followed behind Li Wei, his body floating lightly as if weightless, drifting away on the wind trailing behind Li Wei.

Feeling someone behind him, Li Wei subconsciously turned back for a glance.

Kristiman smiled at him, "You wouldn't mind me taking a ride, would you?"

Li Wei was somewhat surprised, "Your ability is truly formidable."

Kristiman replied humbly: "This counts for nothing, merely a few petty tricks."

Li Wei glanced at Kristiman, then turned his gaze forward again.

He recalled Kristiman's title among the Flower Consorts—The Hyacinth Envoy.

Hyacinths, Li Wei knew what those were.

A type of plant capable of drifting with the wind.

Its seeds often scatter across the earth riding the breeze.

It seemed Kristiman possessed similar abilities, the power to travel upon the wind.

Li Wei left a fragment of his consciousness within the original body to control the direction of flight.

The majority of his mental focus transferred to the illusion body.

After concentrating his attention on the illusion body, the power displayed by it surged instantly.

The illusion body's flight speed increased.

Fire Escape!

The illusion body became a streak of firelight slicing through the sky, leaving a trail formed by sparks behind it.

Soon, Li Wei spotted Evelyn.

A sea of flowers appeared around her, within which several monsters were constantly attacking Evelyn.

This was also the first time Li Wei saw Evelyn fighting with full force.

From this, it could be seen that the enemies she faced were extremely powerful.

After approaching closer, Li Wei made out the Poison Scorpions wreaking havoc within the flower sea.

Poisonous mist permeated the bodies of the Poison Scorpions, capable of easily corroding everything nearby.

The flower sea created by Evelyn withered in patches under the corrosion of the Poison Scorpion's toxic fog, emitting pungent-smelling smoke.

Besides the extreme poison, the strength and speed of the Poison Scorpions were also very formidable.

Several Poison Scorpions were all fourth-order mutated beasts.

Dealing with them alone, Evelyn found it somewhat difficult.

If there were only one Poison Scorpion, she might not have been so embarrassed. Hoo!

Evelyn's figure dissolved into countless petals scattering away.

A razor-sharp tail pierced through numerous petals, but the attack missed its mark.

The Poison Scorpion did not lose heart, turning its head to search for Evelyn's figure.

Evelyn appeared in mid-air.

A giant rose vine carried her up, lifting her far from the ground.

"Flower Vine Strangle!"

Evelyn crossed her hands, causing countless thorny rose vines to surge forth from the flower sea below.

The vines wrapped around the Poison Scorpions, contracting incessantly.

Click click click!

The thorns collided with the incredibly hard carapace of the Poison Scorpions, some thorns breaking off.

Some thorns managed to pierce into the carapace of the Poison Scorpions.

The Poison Scorpions waved their massive pincers, effortlessly tearing apart the surrounding flower vines.

The tail swept behind, shattering a vast stretch of rose vines.

Pfft!

A Poison Scorpion Beast crept silently to the roots of the vine beneath Evelyn.

The tail behind lifted, and the venomous spike shot forth.

The razor-sharp spike pierced the giant rose in an instant.

Evelyn noticed the beast beneath her feet, but never expected its sting could strike from afar.

Caught off guard, she dodged frantically, but the spike grazed her arm.

Instantly, Evelyn's pale arm turned a deep violet-red, slowly darkening to cyan-black.

The toxin of the Scorpion Beast's tail was immensely deadly.

Even a Fourth-Rank Transcendent could not withstand it.

Evelyn felt no pain in her arm; half her body had gone numb.

Her mind felt heavy and dizzy; though she wished to cast a spell, she could not focus her spirit nor draw upon her mana.

Evelyn's heart sank sharply, sensing dire trouble ahead.

She forced herself to gather her remaining strength.

"Inhale!"

The giant rose beneath Evelyn grew rapidly, surpassing a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

The massive bloom enveloped her, forming an impenetrable armor.

The Scorpion Beast climbed upward along the vine, ceaselessly attacking the bud that wrapped Evelyn.

Under the relentless toxic assault, even the sturdy bud began to corrode and wither.

Evelyn lay unconscious within the rose bud.

A rose-red glow emanated from her body.

A force preserved her final spark of life.

Li Wei saw Evelyn trapped in crisis, surrounded by many Poison Scorpion Beasts.

There was no other way.

He commanded his phantom form to charge straight for the bud.

"Shadow Servants!"

The phantom summoned forth the shadows.

"Take her away."

Li Wei directed the phantom to rush toward several beasts.

The phantom possessed merely one-tenth of his true power.

Overwhelmed by the multitude, saving Evelyn required a single desperate measure.

Li Wei's phantom surged toward the Scorpion Beasts.

The beasts simultaneously launched their attacks against him.

The phantom neither dodged nor evaded, charging straight through.

Sharp scorpion tails pierced the phantom's chest.

In a flash, the phantom was torn to shreds.

At the very moment of total destruction, all accumulated power erupted within.

Boom! Bang!

The phantom, equal to one-tenth of Li Wei's strength, detonated itself.

The terrifying blast instantly consumed the nearby beasts.

A gaping hole was blasted into the giant rose.

Seizing the opportunity, the Shadow Servant slipped inside to carry Evelyn away.
