Beauty and the Bodyguard

The man-eating flower missed its bite, but the danger wasn't over yet. Just as Lin Yi dodged it, another man-eating flower appeared three steps away from him, the same size and shape.

Lin Yi didn't have time to dodge this time-his vision went dark, and a thought flashed through his mind."Flowers bloom! Zhu dinghong!"

Vermillion top red was the name of a type of flower. From the appearance of these two man-eating flowers, they were indeed the Vermillion top red that was common in the secular world. However, the Vermillion top red in the secular world was not such a cruel and terrifying man-eating flower, but a kind of flower that was purely for viewing.

Lin Yi wouldn't have fallen for it so easily if he'd realized that it was Vermilion. It had a more official name, the Twin Flower.

As the saying went, flowers bloomed and had two stems. The two-stem flower had never existed alone. Since this kind of man-eating flower had the same characteristics as the two-stem flower, it was natural for it to grow.

He had to be prepared for the two flowers, but it was too late.

The moment he was bitten by the amaryllis, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea. He gave up on the thought of turning into his spirit form and jumped into the mouth instead. He wanted to see what kind of existence the amaryllis was.

The sharp teeth didn't hurt Lin Yi at all. In the darkness, he felt as if he had entered a pipe and was transported deep underground.

After a moment, the surrounding environment suddenly became clear, and there was even a bit of light. Even without using spiritual sense, one could clearly see the surrounding scene.

At first glance, it was a tree hole with a diameter of less than ten meters, but it was not an ordinary tree hole. It was a very active tree hole, because countless green tentacles extended out of the wall of the hole. Any one of them could entangle a person tightly, making them unable to move.

Lin Yi's body was wrapped by four tentacles. These green tentacles were not only extremely tight, but there were also extremely sharp needles at the tips. Dark green liquid dripped from the tips, and it looked like they were going to inject Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't dare let his guard down this time. It was fine if he only strangled it a little, but who knew what would happen if this dangerous liquid was injected into his body?

He didn't need to struggle or use any strength-it was a simple way to break free from the tentacles. He turned into his essence spirit and they all disappeared.

After realizing that they had missed their target, not only the four green tentacles, but all the other tentacles in the tree hole went crazy as well, searching for Lin Yi. Unfortunately, Lin Yi was just a soul right now, and no matter how hard they waved, it was all in vain.

The tentacles didn't stay crazy for long. After confirming that Lin Yi wasn't in the cave, they calmed down. Even when Lin Yi appeared in his Yuan spirit form again, they didn't react at all, treating him like air.

Lin Yi wasn't surprised at all-he understood that the Twin stem man-eating flower was becoming a spirit, but it was still far from the ones he'd seen before, like the Half Moon Lake at the back of the North Island.

Not only was there a world of difference in level, but even the degree of evolution was the same. The Half Moon Lake had a completely independent individual will, and it also had clever means similar to divine sense, but this twin stem man-eating flower did not. It seemed to only act according to its instinct. When it avoided its instinctive friend-or-foe identification mechanism, it was completely blind.

However, there was one thing that Lin Yi couldn't understand-why would someone like this, whose evolution was far from complete, leave him alive on purpose? Could it be that it was like the other spirit beasts, and needed to leave a survivor to be offered as a tribute to that Lord?

Normally, the Twin stem man-eating flower's greatest instinct was to hunt, and its prey would definitely be bitten to pieces when it fell into its mouth, so it would be easier to digest and absorb. However, when Lin Yi fell into its mouth, those dangerous and ferocious saw teeth surprisingly chose to restrain him, and sent him in intact.

If that wasn't the case, Lin Yi wouldn't have changed his mind and walked right into the trap. He wanted to see what the Twin stem man-eating flower was.

Lin Yi looked around and heard a familiar voice from below. He reacted immediately when he heard the voice again. "It's a waste of health!"

As it turned out, the string of footprints he had seen before was health-eating Fei 's. This guy was quite unlucky to have fallen into the mouth of the Twin stem man-eating flower.

To Lin Yi, health-maintenance Fei wasn't really one of his own, but they were related. Naturally, he wouldn't just leave him in the lurch. He transformed into his spirit form and went in. As expected, there was another hole in the tree, and health-maintenance Fei was tied up in the middle by a bunch of green tentacles.

Lin Yi smiled and materialized an essence spirit in front of him.

Health-maintenance Fei's eyes blurred. At first, he couldn't believe it, but then he reacted and said in surprise,""Senior Lin, you've also been tricked?"

"Hehe, I guess so." Lin Yi only smiled.

"That's not right, why aren't you tied up by these things?" Health-maintenance Fei couldn't believe how relaxed Lin Yi was-he didn't look like he'd fallen for a trap, he was clearly here for sightseeing.

"Oh, because they are reasonable." Lin Yi said.

"Uh ... I've already fallen to this point ... Senior Lin, please don't tease me ..." Health-maintenance Fei smiled bitterly.

"I'm not teasing you. Can't you see that they're ignoring me?" Lin Yi's lips twitched."By the way, how did you get caught? This place isn't on the main road at all. With your little strength, where did you get the courage to blindly charge into the dense forest alone?"

Health-maintenance Fei was only at the peak of mid-foundation level-he wasn't outstanding even among his peers. It was all thanks to Lin Yi that he was able to qualify for the test this time-he'd definitely die a horrible death if he went into the forest alone with his current strength.

"Senior Lin, you've misunderstood. I don't have the guts. I actually fled here because I was in a panic. I thought I could at least breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect to enter a Tiger's Den after leaving a Wolf's Den ..." Health-maintenance Fei smiled bitterly. (To be continued.)
