Free Web NovelNot to mention this time.
Although everyone's lives are uncertain now, if Mingxi hadn't appeared, these people below would have almost been sentenced to death. Now, at least, there's a glimmer of hope for survival.
So, was Qian Bingning really unlucky?
Those rotten corpses had something to say.
Mingxi frowned, looking at the tree.
"Guangguang, this is a Lanlin Nightmare, right? A Venerable-level one?"
Lanlin Nightmare, a very special Transcendent creature.
Its initial form is the Blue Rain Sunflower, a very gentle and relatively ordinary grass-attribute Transcendent creature with a very normal evolution chain.
Many plant-type Transcendent creatures, in fact, possess the ability of asexual reproduction, and the Blue Rain Sunflower is no exception.
Or rather, for their species, asexual reproduction is the proper way.
There are many creatures in the biological world that devour their mates to reproduce their offspring.
For example, praying mantises, cockroaches, black widow spiders, desert scorpions, and the well-known, widowed noble Earthfire Spider of the Alliance.
The Blue Rain Sunflower is also such an existence. Once they have a mate and begin to conceive new life, their temperament changes drastically, transforming from gentle and harmless little darlings into cruel and cold-blooded demonic creatures.
And the first to be devoured is their mate.
What's even more terrifying is that this transformation is irreversible.
In other words, after devouring its mate, a Blue Rain Sunflower will completely become a bloodthirsty monster.
The transformed Blue Rain Sunflower is collectively referred to as the Lanlin Nightmare.
Because of this horrifying characteristic of the Blue Rain Sunflower, this species has always been strictly regulated.
Although Beast Tamers can choose to contract with a Blue Rain Sunflower, they must sign various strict agreements. If a Blue Rain Sunflower is confirmed to enter its transformation period and become a Lanlin Nightmare, then no matter who the Beast Tamers is, they must immediately report it to the Yushou Center and hand over the Lanlin Nightmare to the Yushou Center for handling! freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The only comforting thing is that Blue Rain Sunflower is a species naturally afflicted with emotional deficiency syndrome, which can also be understood as having no emotional roots by nature, so their chances of naturally having a mate are very low.
So, although they are regulated, they don't lack freedom like a certain species (Hollow Pupa).
"No, my dear master, this is just a Saint-level Lanlin Nightmare."
The suspended heart finally died.
Mingxi didn't breathe a sigh of relief at this news; instead, she became even more nervous.
The reason Lanlin Nightmare is called a nightmare is because it can grow rapidly by absorbing fresh flesh and blood, and extract and store the grass, poison, water, and steel attribute energies from that flesh and blood until it awakens new attributes.
In short, a Venerable-level Lanlin Nightmare is 100% a four-attribute Transcendent creature!
It's somewhat similar to the Hollow Pupa, but its attributes are fixed.
However, the Lanlin Nightmare is most dangerous before it completely evolves into a four-attribute creature.
As the saying goes, a bottomless pit is hard to fill. Evolving into a four-attribute form is a pursuit ingrained in the Lanlin Nightmare's genes.
To evolve into a perfect body, they are far more cruel and terrifying than Hollow Pupa, who only know ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) how to kill and evolve.
So, don't think that the Lanlin Nightmare in front of you being only Saint-level is good news.
On the contrary, this is a tragic bad omen.
Mingxi felt utterly unlucky!
There can't be wild Blue Rain Sunflower in this Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land. Blue Rain Sunflower must be born in pure, unpolluted, impurity-free lake water.
However, Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land only has oceans, not lakes.
Moreover, the water source here contains a large amount of minerals, which simply doesn't allow Blue Rain Sunflower to hatch.
So, for a Lanlin Nightmare to appear in such a place, Mingxi could only think of one possibility.
This is a pet beast contracted by a Beast Tamers.
Then, where is its Beast Tamers?
Mingxi's gaze quickly swept over the area below; everyone, without exception, was pinned to the ground by blood-colored steel thorns.
It looked like a giant sea urchin was administering torture.
The corpses spread across the ground and the soil beneath them, made damp and dark red by soaking in blood, were so chilling.
Only the maple leaf-like, eerie blue leaves rustled, appearing serene and beautiful.
"From the looks of it, the domain unfolded below is very likely the Nightmare Devouring Domain."
The Nightmare Devouring Domain is the exclusive skill domain of the Lanlin Nightmare. Entering the domain will cause one's vitality and stamina to be continuously devoured.
The longer one stays inside, not only will their body become weaker and weaker, but their combat power will also be continuously reduced.
Moreover, unlike how they can clearly see the situation of the domain from outside now, if they were inside the domain, their five senses would also be weakened, especially their sense of direction, which would completely disappear.
That is to say, it would be very difficult to get out once inside.
This is also the terrifying aspect of the Nightmare Devouring Domain.
No wonder even SSS-level Beast Master Yue Lingren stumbled.
Mingxi's head ached: "..."
Is it still too late to run now?
Sigh.
Running is impossible.
Although Mingxi didn't have the sense of mission to help the world when she achieved success, she really couldn't just watch her school seniors being harmed.
What's more, she also saw a very familiar object on the main trunk of this Lanlin Nightmare.
Don't misunderstand, it wasn't a one-time spatial teleportation token, but a black iron piece.
Palm-sized, incomplete.
Although the shape was different, judging by the material, it should have come from the same item as the iron piece she obtained last time in the Endless Sea Mystic Ground.
After shen guan appeared, Mingxi and Guangguang both speculated that this iron piece was a missing part of shen guan.
Mingxi had tried asking shen guan, but as an item, it didn't have the ability to identify its own body parts.
Yes, it wasn't sure either.
Guangguang, however, understood shen guan very well, "Master, if your kidney was removed, and one day someone came with a kidney and asked you, 'Is this your kidney?' Could you recognize it?"
Mingxi: "..."
She just felt her kidney ache.
Getting back to the main topic, whether the black iron piece was shen guan's lost kidney or not, since the second iron piece appeared, Mingxi naturally wanted to get her hands on it.
Therefore, running away was impossible.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
During Mingxi's brief moment of shock, the Lanlin Nightmare below, which had been provoked by Xiao Si Golden Bell into shedding leaves wildly, could no longer resist launching a full-scale attack on Mingxi.
Although Mingxi and her companions hadn't entered the domain, it wasn't without long-range attack capabilities.
A large number of steel thorns shot towards her and Golden Yuanbao, like a triggered Pear Blossom Storm, but a plus version.
Those eerie blue and fiery red, extremely sharp steel thorns sent chills down one's spine.
The steel thorns were too dense, and Golden Yuanbao's body was too large, and it was carrying her, so it was impossible to completely avoid them.
"Absolute Barrier."
"Barrier."
"Guardian Shield."
Chiyu and Little Silver Flower flashed in just in time.
They continuously released defensive skills, attempting to block the rain of steel thorns, which was as dense as rain and as terrifying as anti-aircraft guns.
After evolving to King-level, the power of their skills naturally increased.
