Anna took the lotus one by one and her hand covered with light green energy crushed them to get the juices. The juice was blood red in color that looks exactly like blood but they have enchanting smell. Just the smell alone made one's blood to jump in excitement
As soon as she crushed the first lotus, Anna felt something hard on her hand. When she looked at it, she saw a small blood red lotus seed. She showed it to Kence with excitement. As long as they have the seed, they can plant more Blood Lotus!
It was always Kence's headache how to dispose the trespassers on his forest. Simply dumping it around was too much of a waste for him. While the carnivorous flower's appetite was not enough to eat all the corpse. But if he grows blood lotuses that also eat a living creature's body it would be a win-win situation!
Not only will the body not be wasted but it will give also made him have a constant supply of Blood lotus juices! It will give them great benefits that will make them stronger
Kence gave a thumbs up to the grinning Anna and they continued the work. As soon as Anna finished juicing the first batch, Kence went to the lake again and scoop up more lotuses. There would occasionally be beasts that will be attracted to the lake but most of them are extremely weak and Kence just let the lotus eat. It seems like the stronger creatures are quite wary of this lake which made Kence puzzled
Even a Rank 3 Blood Lotus as long as it can't affect one's mind can be defeated by a Warrior Rank, why is things like this?
Kence learned the answer when the lotuses on the outskirts were fully harvested and he needs to enter the lake. A group of snakes with lotus flower on their heads went to attack him. Kence was taken aback and used his floating ability but some of the snakes jumped from the lake and attack him
Kence turned his hand into a big wooden palm and smacked the snakes. The impact heavily injured those snakes. All of them were at the Knight Rank, even a Grand Knight Supernatural if surrounded by these many snakes would surely perished
No wonder even Rank 3 Supernaturals didn't dare enter the lake! It was just a lake yet there's so much hidden danger inside!
Kence grabbed one of the snakes and examined it. The snake naturally struggled but with Kence's strength how can it put any resistance? A lotus that looks exactly like the blood lotus grew on its head. Aside from it being smaller, there wasn't any other difference to a blood lotus. It has a mixture of different smell that made Kence very uncomfortable. It smells like fish, blood, and also the sweet smell from the lotus. Together, they made a smell that will irritate one's nose
He floated back and landed on the ground before checking on the Voice of the World
"System Identify!"
"Beep. Scanning Item"
"Scan successful"
"Creature: Blood Lotus Snake
A snake that evolved from eating Blood Lotuses. The snake is fierce and will attack other creatures around. The lotus on its head can be used as an Alchemy Material to make poison. Cannot be used directly"
Kence thought that it was a pity. He thought that maybe the lotus on the snake's head can be used to directly increased one's strength. Nonetheless, it would be a great help for Ivy. Absorbing the poison of other plants can make her Rainbowshade Flower to improve. He plucked lotus and put it inside his spatial ring
"What do we do now?" Anna asked, she naturally saw the snakes that attacked Kence. Even a small lake can host thousands of creatures much less a lake inside the tower. Kence grinned and plastered and boisterous look on his face. "No worries, the great Kence can handle this!"
Kence waved his hand and hundreds of leaves surrounded him while he used his floating ability again and flew above the lake where the blood lotuses are. He turned his arms into multiple small wooden palms and once again scoop up the lotuses like he was just using a ladle to get some soup
If other Supernaturals that will experience how hard it is to harvest these lotuses they would surely be enraged to death. "Che! Such as show off!" Anna said in jealousy. She can't help but to admit that all of Kence's ability are extremely practical. It does not only have attacking power but it is also flexible to a lot of situations
Kence laughed and went back outside the lake while waiting for Anna to squeeze all of the lotuses juice. What they were doing made a strange scene outside the lake. Especially since there was an ugly wooden bucket around
He didn't just harvest the blood lotuses but the snakes also didn't escape his grasp. With a spatial ring with tens of kilometers of space these little things won't consume even just a tenth of his ring's space
The others will have to bring backpacks which are extremely inconvenient and they can't take all of the treasures. They can just die in jealousy to Kence!
After a few minutes, about a group of thirty Supernaturals arrived at the lake. They looked like they were ready to harvest the treasures on the lake as they have with them huge water containers
Kence frowned at this site. In his past one week inside the tower he naturally encountered some Supernaturals but just letting out his aura of peak Grand Knight was enough to scared those people. He's not stupid, he knew how chaotic it will be inside the tower
As of now, aside from confident Knight Ranks and the few Grand Knights on earth there weren't much of people entering the tower, making the competition to not be that fierce. Even then there would still be some clashes here and there
More often those who formed groups become cocky and arrogant. If a few mid stage Grand Knights together with some lower levelled Supernaturals teamed up even a normal peak Grand Knight won't dare provoke that group
Sure enough, seeing that it was just the two of them this group didn't put Kence and Anna on their sight. In the front of them was a man with wings. He has eyes akin to a bird's eyes and his arm was yellow colored with long nails on his hands
No doubt that it was a Bloodline Holder, not just a normal one but a mid stage Grand Knight! It was more than enough to become a leader. The group saw Kence and Anna harvesting a lot of blood lotuses, as they came prepared, they naturally knew the use and how hard it was to harvest them
"You two, leave the blood lotuses juice here and we will let you leave with your lives intact" The bird like man said arrogantly while putting on some airs. As a Bloodline Holder these lotuses are extremely important to him
Even, Anna frowned at how arrogant this Mystic is. If they want to harvest Blood Lotus it was fine since there are a lot of them covering the surface of the lake. But why do they want to cause trouble and make Kence and Anna leave behind their hard work?
Kence didn't like complicating things and he let out his aura. An aura belonging to a peak stage Grand Knight pressed on the group of forty Supernaturals. They felt like they were a lower kind of life form compared to Kence
They felt some pressure but there are forty of them after all. The bird man was the strongest but he's not the only mid stage Grand Knight! There are two more besides him while they have ten early stage Grand Knight. The rest are all at the peak of Knight Rank
With this line up, even a normal peak Grand Knight can perish. Well, that's just for normal people but Kence has a more solid foundation than other Supernaturals which made him much stronger. A normal Rank 3 can barely fight a mutant animal or fallen at the same Rank while they can fight at most five people a small realm lower
The difference was after all only a small realm and there wasn't much qualitative increase at the first three ranks of Supernatural. But to people like Sun and Kence who among them didn't kill many at the same rank as them?
Kence didn't want trouble but if trouble would knock at him then he won't hesitate to retaliate!
The forty people were shock at Kence's strength but they are still pretty confident that they can kill him. Another Supernatural holding a book beside the Bloodline Holder spoke that made Kence angrier. "Don't think that because you're a peak Grand Knight you can bully is! Our Harpy City won't be afraid of you!"
The Mage said in a rather righteous manner as if Kence was the one bullying them. Anna knew Kence's strenght but with these many people she's afraid that he would get hurt. "Kence, let's just leave" Anna said while shaking her head. With her strength of an early stage Grand Knight she would be a burden to Kence if they fought here
"You better listen to that beautiful girl with you if you don't want to suffer with serious consequences!" The other man besides the Bloodline Holder said arrogantly while looking lecherously at Anna
With Kence's temper how can he let someone stare at her woman like that? This naturally ignited his anger and he looked coldly at that man. "Stop looking like that at my woman or I'll crush your eyes with my hand!" His tone was filled with undisguised anger as he really meant what he said
The man was naturally angered by Kence's threat and retaliated. "Do you really want to die that much?!" The man said angrily
Anna's heart warmed at hearing Kence's words but she still felt that this was troublesome. Although she and Kence were almost like lovers but they still didn't confirm their status. They didn't think much about it and were just slowly getting to know each other
"The one going to die here is you if you keep up that attitude of yours!" Kence said coldly while staring daggers at him. "Too arrogant! Let us teach you a lesson that you won't forget!" The bird man that has harpy Bloodline said angrily
"Kneel before us or we'll let you enter hell today!" The forty people's aura erupted with fighting intent. For them, they have this huge number so how can they be afraid of a single peak Grand Knight?
"Heh, why don't you kneel before me and I'm the one that's going to let you leave alive!" If they are arrogant then Kence is even more arrogant! Even before the apocalypse he already has great killing skills much less now
It's just too bad that his skills now were more suitable to face to face combat and can only fight directly. Even then his skill was not something any normal man can have!
"Since you love to court death that much then we will fulfill your wish! Brothers attack!" As soon as the Bloodline Holder said it the Supernaturals around readied their skills. Too bad, they chose to anger a man they can't afford to offend!
They were just getting ready to use their energy and activate their skills when Kence already activated his Nature's Battle Armor. In just a blink of an eye a skill was activated easily
"So fast!" The Supernaturals around can't believe it but they don't have much time to be shock as Kence already charged at them. Cultivation foundation is extremely important. Just look at this scene as Kence has stronger soul and skillful control of his energy he can use his energy to activate a skill that fast
Kence's speed exploded and when the Supernaturals finally activated their skills and aimed at him he already changed his position. He charged at the man who looked at Anna with lustful eyes and his sword penetrated the Mystic's chest that easily
Some attacks landed on Kence's previous position as most of the Supernaturals are not that skillful at energy control and they were not able to stop shooting their skill into an empty hair
But for now, that was not important. They all stared with fear at Kence who easily killed one of the mid stage Grand Knights. All of them shuddered in fear and they realize that they provoked a wrong man. They immediately regretted it, too bad that there's no medicine for regret in this world
