Chapter 1353 - 1352: Rose

In nature, only a few flowers emit strange scents; most flowers desperately release fragrance to spread their pollen.

However, a large area of crimson roses suddenly appeared on the asphalt road before them, which was an extremely bizarre occurrence. Moreover, these roses did not emit the typical fragrance of ordinary roses but a bloody scent.

Such things make the situation incredibly eerie!

Hehehe!

In the instant Lu Yu uttered his statement, a seductive laughter echoed, carrying a playful undertone that resonated with the blood-red roses, making the silent street appear even more eerie and gloomy.

Despite the emergence of such a sound, no one appeared, except for the softly swaying blood-red roses and the thick bloody scent.

Upon hearing the laughter, Leng Qingqiu experienced chills all over her body. For some unknown reason, she felt waves of fear towards these vividly red flowers.

"Lu Yu..."

Her fingers gently grasped Lu Yu's clothes as Leng Qingqiu spoke in a low voice, "The atmosphere here feels wrong, and the scent of these flowers really makes one nauseous!"

Having lived in the high society of the international metropolis, Lin'an City, Leng Qingqiu was accustomed to witnessing the civilized and free side of things, making her highly uncomfortable with this bloody scent.

"Terrifying, these flowers are not just nauseating in their scent."

Upon hearing Leng Qing's words, Lu Yu's eyes squinted slightly as he glanced over the desolate street before him, speaking coldly, "These flowers, I sense, have more than just deceptive intentions; they likely have a specific purpose!"

While speaking, Lu Yu's eyes were fixed on the roses before him, noticing that not only were the petals vibrant, but the thorns on the leaves were exceptionally sharp and hard, far sharper and harder than those of regular roses!

Such suspicions were confirmed by the seductive laughter from earlier.

That laughter clearly belonged to a woman, definitely not the sound of wind or anything else, indicating that someone was observing them from an unseen location.

"Then we should leave here quickly."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu spoke with concern in her voice, her tone low yet carrying worry instead of fear.

The bizarre atmosphere accompanied by the thick bloody scent made Leng Qingqiu extremely uneasy.

"No problem..."

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu nodded and spoke, "We'll leave here now..."

While saying this, Lu Yu remained vigilant, keeping a close watch on their surroundings, his gaze filled with intensity and caution.

Trying to leave?

Is it possible to leave now?

At that moment, Lu Yu thought silently in his heart that having encountered such circumstances meant that he and Leng Qingqiu had completely fallen into an ambush.

Given this situation, Lu Yu deeply understood that the adversary would not let them leave easily. He said so merely to comfort Leng Qingqiu.

After all, it's the first time Leng Qingqiu has witnessed such a scene, and Lu Yu didn't want to frighten her.

"Wanna leave?"

Just as Lu Yu considered this, the soft woman's voice sounded again, "Unfortunately, you won't be able to leave today regardless of anything!"

While speaking, the woman's voice drifted as if coming from all directions, sounding ethereal and distant, astonishing whoever heard it!

Upon hearing the woman's voice, Lu Yu's eyes narrowed as he prepared to discern the direction of the sound.

At that moment, a sharp sound suddenly emerged!

Woo!

As the sound emerged, it carried an incredibly sharp and fierce wind slicing sound, resembling the wailing of an Evil Spirit, crying and complaining, with cruelty and swiftness, descending from above, striking at Lu Yu's head!

"Not good!"

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Yu's heart skipped, and without looking, he directly grabbed Leng Qingqiu's body and retreated violently!

Snap!

As Lu Yu retreated with Leng Qingqiu, a crisp sound echoed instantly. Upon turning to look, there was a clear trench at the spot where Lu Yu formerly stood, as if it had been forcefully struck by a steel whip!

Seeing this, Lu Yu's gaze deepened because he could clearly see from the marks on the ground that there were numerous deep holes along the trench.

These holes were slender and narrow, as if pierced by nails, appearing incredibly terrifying and fierce!

Upon seeing this, Lu Yu instantly understood that the steel whip-like thing was precisely those crimson roses!

Those vividly red roses turned out to be so frightening; if struck by such a whip, even a strong man would die instantly!

Upon witnessing this, a hint of grim determination remained in Lu Yu's eyes as he gazed at the brightly red roses before him.

A single rose's strike was already so terrifying; truly, an entire patch striking simultaneously would be extraordinarily horrifying!

"You have great skills, dodging such an attack instantaneously."

As Lu Yu continued to be shocked silently, the seductive voice sounded again, "But I wonder, if an entire patch of roses strikes simultaneously, how will you dodge?!"

Clap clap clap!

As she spoke, a clapping sound echoed, and the originally dark asphalt road burgeoned with greenery, soon transforming, rapidly, into bushes of crimson roses.

These roses, like those before, were entirely crimson as blood, emitting thick bloody scents!

These roses surrounded Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu, appearing swaying and beautiful.

From a distance, the scene appeared extraordinarily magnificent and romantic, especially with the large area of crimson roses enveloping them, swaying in the breeze, potentially prompting any maiden to scream.

However, it was merely the appearance; only those surrounded by these roses knew that these superficially tender and beautiful roses were lethal weapons!

Initially, encountering such roses, Lu Yu would feel extremely troublesome, not to mention standing beside him was a frail and defenseless Leng Qingqiu!
