Chapter 865: Deception Within Deception!
Chapter 865: Deception Within Deception!
The [Nether Rafflesia Flower] did not bother to pay any attention to Tang Li Xue's meaningless conversation to buy more time as it immediately sprayed the corrosive green liquid from its huge bloody mouth at Tang Li Xue!
"This damn stinky flower~!" Tang Li Xue angrily scolded as she hastily used [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] plus [Breezing Step] to dodge the corrosive liquid spray.
But the [Nether Rafflesia Flower] seemed to change its way of spraying its corrosive liquid right now!
The green corrosive liquid was sprayed in a scattered way as if the tip of the water hose was pinched, and it sprinkled around like heavy rain!
No matter how great or high Tang Li Xue's speed was, it was clearly impossible for her to dodge the green corrosive liquid that was sprinkling like torrential rain!
Without any other choice, Tang Li Xue could only try to block the corrosive liquid instead.
[Hurricane Barrier]~!
[Reflective Barrier]~!
Transparent Barrier created with [Energy Manipulation]~!
Three layers of defense were instantly deployed by Tang Li Xue in order to block the corrosive rain!
CCRRRSSSSSS~!
Tang Li Xue thought that her three layers of defense should be more than enough to resist the corrosive rain, but unfortunately, she was wrong this time.
Her [Hurricane Barrier] was instantly dispersed while her [Reflective Barrier] and the transparent Barrier created with [Energy Manipulation] could only last for a moment before they melted!
Then the corrosive rain dripped onto Tang Li Xue's silvery white furs until it made a loud sizzling sound!
Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs to withstand the burning pain, but at this rate, it might not take long for her entire body to be washed by the corrosive rain!
At this critical moment, Lucia suddenly appeared right beside Tang Li Xue with her breakneck flight speed and used her own body to cover Tang Li Xue from the corrosive rain!
However, Lucia's entire body was wrapped in anti-corrosive silver armor from the [Silver Dragon Skin Pearl], so the corrosive rain could not do anything to her at all.
"Nice, Lucia~! Thank you so much for your help!" Tang Li Xue happily thanked Lucia for her timely help.
With her twenty-meter tall enlarged body after using [Gigantification], Lucia could perfectly shelter Tang Li Xue from being splashed by the corrosive liquid from the corrosive rain.
The [Nether Rafflesia Flower] felt very annoyed by Lucia's timely assist, so it began to use its dozens of hideous giant vine tentacles to attack both Lucia and Tang Li Xue at once!
Dozens of hideous giant vine tentacles whipped toward Lucia and Tang Li Xue like a falling mountain, and each of them was even bigger than a truck!
"KWEAAAK~! (Get up quickly~!)" Lucia anxiously chirped to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue instantly understood what Lucia was trying to say, and she quickly hugged one of Lucia's legs tightly!
Then Lucia flapped her wings and flew very swiftly to avoid the giant vine tentacles's attacks!
BOOOOM~! BOOOOM~! BOOOOM~! BOOOOM~!
The giant vine tentacles flogged crazily toward Lucia as if they were playing a Whack-a-Mole game!
The entire cave kept shaking violently, and many deep cracks began to spread on the cave's ground!
Even with Lucia's extremely fast flying speed, she looked overwhelmed by the [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s crazy attacks!
If Lucia still has [Slow Motion] buff, it should be a piece of cake for her to dodge all of [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s attacks.
But unfortunately, Lucia's [Slow Motion] buff duration had been long run out and entered a one-hour cooldown.
.....
When Tang Li Xue and Lucia were trying their best to resist the [Nether Rafflesia Flower], Little Loki and its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones did not remain idle at all.
They transformed back from their Battle Form into their Kitten Form and began to investigate the [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s weakness.
How did they do it?
Of course, it was by sneaking into the [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s mouth and exploring its inside!
Even though it would be really dangerous, but Little Loki could get out from there at any time with its [Instant Teleportation].
Little Loki and its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones skillfully ran on the vine wall inside [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s body while avoiding being splashed by any green corrosive liquid.
[Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s size was truly enormous. Not even Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, and others could estimate how big the rest of [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s body which was still buried under the cave's ground.
It might take quite a long time for Little Loki and its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones to explore inside of [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s body, so they decided to split up and explore separately to save time.
The inside of [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s body was very complicated like a huge maze.
There was corrosive green liquid everywhere as if it was the [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s blood.
If Little Loki or its [Phantom Splitter] clones were not careful and accidentally slipped down, then fell into the river-like corrosive green liquid, their entire bodies might get dissolved by it in only less than one breath.
Fortunately, so many thorns were sticking out from the vine wall, so Little Loki or its [Phantom Splitter] clones could just jump from one thorn to another, and they did not need to step or walk on the place soaked by the green corrosive liquid.
But Little Loki suddenly heard a loud gurgling sound like the sound of the water stream.
Little Loki immediately realized that the [Nether Rafflesia Flower] probably wanted to spray out its green corrosive liquid from its mouth like before, so the green corrosive liquid should be flooding toward here really soon!
Without any hesitation, Little Loki instantly used its [Instant Teleportation] to get away from its current location!
Just when Little Loki's tiny black furry figure disappeared, a large amount of green corrosive liquid flowed into that place before it sprayed out from the [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s mouth.
After hastily using [Instant Teleportation] to get out of the previous dangerous situation, Little Loki actually got strayed to a strange place instead.
Little Loki looked around in confusion and found a big throbbing mass of flesh.
There were also many vines connected to that big throbbing mass of flesh.
Little Loki's eyes immediately shone when it saw the mass of flesh.
'Don't tell me that this is the big flower's heart?' Little Loki guessed excitedly when it thought that it finally found the [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s weak point.
But Little Loki suddenly turned skeptical as it thought: 'Wait a minute... Do plants have a heart? No way, right?'
Then Little Loki recalled that Tang Li Xue said this flower was really cunning and smart, so it had to be careful.
Just in case, Little Loki did not immediately use its [Heaven's Devour] to swallow the big throbbing mass of flesh and waited patiently for its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones to explore the other area of [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s inside.
After a few minutes or so, some of Little Loki's [Phantom Splitter] clones actually also found the other big throbbing masses of flesh.
Three other more to be exact!
Little Loki frowned in displeasure as it realized that it almost got tricked by the [Nether Rafflesia Flower].
However, Little Loki had to admit that this [Nether Rafflesia Flower] was truly extremely tricky to deal with.
Little Loki shook its tiny furry head in great disappointment and turned around to continue to explore the other area inside the [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s body.
Just as Little Loki almost walked away from the big throbbing mass of flesh, it halted its step all of a sudden.
'Not right~!' Little Loki thought as it turned around again, then stared at the big throbbing mass of flesh in astonishment.
Little Loki closed its eyes, and its nose moved slightly when it sniffed at something.
The smell inside this [Nether Rafflesia Flower]'s body was really unpleasant like the rotten meat that had already decayed for tens of thousands of years.
Because of that, Little Loki's sense of smell was almost dulled by it.
But despite that, Little Loki could actually still faintly sniff the smell of treasure from the big throbbing mass of flesh!
Little Loki quickly urged its other [Phantom Splitter] clones to try to sniff the other big throbbing masses of flesh, but they could not find the smell of treasure from any of them!
In other words, only the big throbbing mass of flesh in front of the real Little Loki that has the smell of treasure!
Little Loki's eyes shone brightly once again.
'What a cunning plant?! Even I almost got tricked twice!' Little Loki angrily thought.
Deception within deception...
What the [Nether Rafflesia Flower] had done was like hiding a precious tree inside the forest.
But since there was no forest here, the [Nether Rafflesia Flower] deliberately created a lot of big throbbing mass of flesh inside its body to cover its true weak point.
Little Loki used its [Instant Teleportation] and suddenly appeared near the throbbing mass of flesh, then it opened its tiny mouth widely.
[Heaven's Devour]~!
BWOOOOOSSH~!
Despite its size being many times bigger than Little Loki's tiny furry body, the huge throbbing mass of flesh was still sucked into LIttle Loki's mouth in one gulp!
However, the huge throbbing mass of flesh was actually not the [Nether Rafflesia Flower] real weak point like Little Loki had guessed.
After Little Loki swallowed the entire throbbing mass of flesh, there was a hexagonal green crystal floating on the mass of flesh's previous place!
The hexagonal green crystal was actually hidden inside the throbbing mass of flesh all this time!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
Just when Little Loki wanted to use its [Heaven's Devour] to swallow the hexagonal green crystal too, the entire place suddenly shook greatly, and a large amount of corrosive green liquid was pouring out like a torrential flood!
