Just as Alex was thinking something was wrong here, the earth suddenly started to shake. Soon after, he saw walls suddenly erected all around him, and a large mouth suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
This was actually a large mouth of a flower.
"What the f*ck!"
Alex was so scared that he almost died. He wanted to escape but it was already too late. The attack was too sudden. Before he or Anya could react, Alex was directly swallowed by the giant flower.
After the flower's mouth was closed, a wave of energy rushed toward Alex.
"Tsss."
Alex was washed into a pool of liquid, his entire body started to emit smoke, his skin started to melt, and fresh blood started to seep out.
It was only then that Alex realized that he had fallen into the digestive system of the flower.
"What a strong corrosive effect!"
Alex hurriedly jumped out of the poisonous liquid and took out the Heavy Earth Sword.
If an ordinary person was here, at least a layer of the skin would have melted away. Fortunately, because Alex had cultivated the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, his body was extremely strong, to the point where melting his skin was not an easy task even for the corrosive energy of the giant flower.
He was still an Innate Stage martial warrior, so he couldn't fly. So, he stepped onto the blade of the Heavy Earth Sword, then took out a set of clothes from his spatial ring and changed into them. Then, he took a look at his surroundings. The place he was in right now was not big, but there were quite a few bones inside.
It seemed this giant flower had eaten quite a few humans and demonic beasts.
"I should go out of here first!"
Standing on the blade of Heavy Earth Sword, Alex punched out again and again.
"Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!"
The flower's defensive power inside the stomach was considered strong, no matter how Alex attacked, he wasn't able to break the layer of the stomach wall of the flower. However, the giant flower was in so much pain that it jumped up violently and tried to roar, but no voice came out.
Not to mention, Anya was not relaxed at all. She was also attacking the giant flower from outside, trying to tear it apart and save Alex. She was determined to save Alex. She knew Alex should still be safe for now inside the stomach of the flower.
She had spent a few days with Alex and knew how powerful Alex really is. If this flower wanted to digest Alex, it'll not be easy at all.
As she had expected, she could hear the sound of retaliation coming from inside the stomach of the giant flower not long after. She could also feel that the giant flower was in so much pain.
Taking the advantage of this opportunity, she once again launched her attack. This giant flower was a Level 5 Plant-type demonic beast. Its power was equal to a Golden Core Stage martial warrior. So, injuring it greatly was already the extent to which Anya could help. The rest all depends on Alex who was retaliating from inside.
Inside the stomach of the flower, Alex ignored the gastric juice and continued to attack.
After half a minute, the flower's stomach was finally broken and Alex came out.
"I'm finally out! This is the first time I've been eaten!"
Alex said and heaved a sigh of relief. Anya, on the other hand, also smiled with a long breath of relief.
She stopped attacking and came to Alex, asking, "Are you alright?"
Alex nodded his head, indicating that he is fine. Then he said, "I'm gonna this giant flower. Don't interfere in this fight."
"But?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Saying this, Alex looked at the flower fiercely before attacking with the Heavy Earth Sword.
This flower's vitality was extremely tenacious and its recovery rate was astonishing as well. If not for the fact that Alex had the chaotic energy and a physical body more powerful than anyone else of the same cultivation stage, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything to it.
Soon the giant flower drooped down the ground and Alex was finally relieved.
However, what surprised Alex was that after the giant flower died, it started to wither quickly. At the same time, the green light shone out of nowhere and kept becoming stronger and stronger. The green shine soon became strong enough to force Alex and Anya to take a few steps back and close their eyes for a while.
When they felt the green shine has started becoming weaker, they opened their eyes and looked ahead of them, only to see the green shine rotating and shrinking. Soon, it shrank to a minuscule size, taking a shape of a seed.
"This is? Wood Essence Seed?" When Anya saw the seed, her eyes lit up. How could she not recognize this treasure? Before she entered the secret realm, her master, the leader of the Floating Cloud Academy told her about this treasure. But he never told her how to get it. He just told her that only a fated person could obtain the Wood Essence Seed.
Wood Essence Sead was something that could increase one's affinity to the wood element. However, this was the least of what the Wood Essence Seed can really do. There are many benefits of it, such as, it can even increase the grade of a martial warrior's talent. There are many other benefits.
Alex didn't know what the Wood Essence Seed was, so he tried to use the system to probe the information out of it, however, before he could do that, he heard an explosive shout from behind as six figures scuttled out.
"Kid, give that Wood Essence Seed to me and I'll spare your lives!"
Seeing that trouble has come, Alex gestured to Anya and she hurriedly put away the Wood Essence Seed.
"You want to kill people for their treasures?"
Alex frowned. He never expected to meet another few demonic cultivators here. But this group of demonic cultivators seemed to not know who Alex and Anya are. They seemed to be a different group of demonic cultivators, or they should be the ones who have yet to return to that small village, so they don't know yet that their God's Statue has been stolen by two brats in front of them.
"Of course, we will kill. But it seems that you are not planning to hand over the Wood Essence Seed."
One of the demonic cultivators saw Alex gesturing something and Anya putting away the Wood Essence Seed, and said.
"Looks like we can only fight!" Alex also nodded his head and brandished his sword, ready to fight.
"Kill!"
The six people opposite him charged toward him together.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself."
Alex sneered and stepped on the ground. Exactly at that moment, the six of them felt their heads rumbling.
"Drak Yin Cloud Splitting Sword Art!"
While the six of them were stunned, Alex slashed six times at the ground in front of them frantically. Before the six of them could even react, their heads were already chopped off one after another.
The six of them were instantly killed!
"Plop!" "Plop!" "Plop!"
Six heads dropped to the ground, Alex used his Heavy Earth Sword to draw a line on the ground with an ear-piercing noise as he slowly walked over.
The strength of these six people was between Level 1 to Level 5 Golden Core Stage. They were not powerful enough for a chance against Alex, so they died here even before they could truly attack.
How could they have known that a pervert like Alex was present here? They had killed many disciples of the Floating Cloud Academy after knowing that the outer court disciples of the Floating Cloud Academy has entered the Secret Realm. In their eyes, Alex and Anya were nothing more than ants.
What could they do to them even if Alex and Anya had the cultivation base of Peak Innate Stage?
They are the dignified Golden Core Stage martial warriors after all,
This kind of thinking made them proud more than what was needed, causing them to look down on Alex and Anya. Thus, bringing their own downfall.
Alex didn't even try to look at their attribute panels before killing them. What treasures possibly Golden Core Stage martial warriors bring him?
With his current strength, he needed to duplicate the treasures of at least Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior.
He arrived in front of the six corpses one by one and took out the spatial ring from their hands. After putting away the six Spatial Rings, Alex looked at Anya and said, "Let's continue moving forward!"
"Umm, what about the Wood Essence Seed?" Anya asked nervously.
Alex smiled, looked deeply at Anya's beautiful face, and said, "You can keep that thing to yourself, I don't need that!"
