Chereads / Immortal in The Apocalypse / Chapter 38 - Corpse Flower

Chapter 38 - Corpse Flower

When the dagger fell to the ground, Xiu Wu and the others quickly crouched down and stayed close to the wall. Tan Wei glanced into the shop, but saw no one, so he shouted: "Who is it?! Come out!"

They waited for a few seconds, but they didn't see anyone coming out of the shop. Xiu Wu glanced at Ji Yang and nodded to him. Knowing what Xiu Wu wanted him to do, Ji Yang scanned the contents of the store, then raised his hand, and took away the bags of soil, fertilizers, and planting pots in the storefront.

When the shop was emptied, Xiu Wu said, "Let's go!"

With his order, they fled from there quickly. After a long silence, the door behind the cashier opened, and several men and women came out. When they saw the empty storefront, one of the men cursed: "Damn it! They took everything!"

The man wanted to kill the thieves, but unfortunately, he didn't see their faces clearly when he threw the dagger just now. As for the thieves, they were laughing at the moment.

When they hid in a small alley to rest, Xiu Wu looked at Ji Yang and asked, "Lao Yang, are you alright?"

Ji Yang nodded, but his face looked a little pale. After breaking through to the second rank, he can put items into his own space without touching them. But the disadvantage is that the energy consumption and mental power tripled if he used this method.

Tan Wei looked at Ji Yang and asked, "How much did you get just now?"

Ji Yang looked into his space and replied: "Not much. We still need to find more planting pots and soil to plant all the fruit trees."

"There is another shop that sells soil and planting pots."Xiu Wu pointed to a shop at the corner of Market Street.

Before entering the shop, they checked the surrounding environment. Due to the bad location, no one came to this shop yet. Learning from the previous experience, Xiu Wu signaled them to back off, and then slowly opened the door.

Creak~

As soon as the door was opened, a sweet fragrance wafted out from the shop. Smelling the sweet fragrance, Zhu Lin calmly said, "Hold your breath. It's poisonous."

Unlike Zhu Lin's calmness, the other three men were not as calm as her. They only breathed a little bit of sweet fragrance, and they were already dizzy. Tan Wei even saw a table of delicious food in front of him. He shook his head to clear his mind, and the delicious food disappeared when his eyes refocused.

Tu Tu looked at them and said, [Master, they can't stand the poison. If more poison enters their body, they will die soon from brain damage.]

Zhu Lin nodded, and then took out five small white flowers from the ice flower pendant. She put a small white flower on Tu Tu's petal-like mouth, and said, [Hold it on your lips.]

The rabbit obediently held the little white flower in its lips, while Zhu Lin put one on her lips. Then she knelt down beside Xiu Wu, pried open his lips with her thumb, and stuffed a small white flower between his white teeth.

Seeing him staring blankly at her, Zhu Lin said, "If you don't want to die, just hold it with your lips."

Xiu Wu stared at her for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and then closed his lips. Seeing that he was awake and able to hold the little white flower, Zhu Lin walked to Ji Yang and Tan Wei and asked them to hold the little white flower with their lips. After making sure they wouldn't drop the white flowers, Zhu Lin took out her sword and walked into the shop.

Xiu Wu saw her walking into the shop and wanted to stop her, but his brain seemed to have turned into mud, and he could only helplessly watch Zhu Lin walk into the shop.

Creak~ Creak~

Inside the shop, every time Zhu Lin took a step, the floor would make a creaking sound. She looked around and found nothing unusual, but she always felt that someone was staring at her.

Tu Tu jumped off her shoulder, putting its pair of long ears on the floor, and said, [Master, something is moving below us.]

Zhu Lin concentrated her hearing on the ground, and vaguely heard the rustling sound. She frowned slightly, and said, [It sounds like moving roots.]

While they were talking, the two of them kept walking following the direction of the sound. With the help of small white flowers, the sweet fragrance in the air didn't affect them at all. The further they go to the back of the shop, the stronger the sweet fragrance in the air.

When they stopped in front of a white door, the sweet fragrance was already visible to their eyes in the form of a faint pink mist in the air. Looking at the faint pink mist around them, Zhu Lin said, [The one underground must be very powerful to produce this kind of illusion mist.]

While Zhu Lin was looking at the pink mist, Tu Tu had already opened the white door. Behind the white door is a metal staircase, but every part of the staircase and the walls are covered with thin and thick green vines. Among the vines, there were bright red flowers blooming, which looked extremely beautiful.

Seeing the red flowers, Zhu Lin said, [I never thought that in this world, I could see this corpse flower too.]

Looking at the bright red spider lilies amongst the green vines, Tu Tu couldn't help shivering. Its last memory of the corpse flower is just too horrific. Tu Tu glanced at its master, and asked, [Master, could it be that… The Devil God is here and personally prepared corpse flowers for you again?]

Zhu Lin recalled that time when the Devil God personally brought her to the underworld and showed her the vast corpse flower field.
