219: Deserted island forest, Datura flowers

Dragon Abyss Sea, Sea Island.

Lin Yongmao and Lin Yuheng were in the forest of the Sea Island, which was a directional teleportation point Lin Yongmao had set up in advance.

Lin Yuheng's head spun, and he nearly fell to the ground. Lin Yongmao quickly helped him to his feet.

Lin Yuheng, pale as a sheet, said with some lingering fear, "If a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator directly uses this kind of ultra-long-distance directional teleportation array, it's very likely they'll be crushed to death by spatial elements."

Lin Yongmao said, "That's right. The most terrifying thing is being squeezed into spatial turbulence; then there's absolutely no hope."

The first time Lin Yongmao came to Dragon Abyss Sea was because of the Dao Traces Fishing Rod. Fortunately, this Immortal Artifact protected him, otherwise he would have died in the spatial storm.

However, this directional teleportation array was relatively safe, as it was obtained through System sign-in and wouldn't have any unexpected situations.

He remembered that there was also an ancient ultra-long-distance teleportation array in the ancient Cultivator's tomb in Qingyang Mountain Range. As for that teleportation array, even if Lin Yongmao could repair it, he wouldn't dare to try it easily.

It hadn't been maintained for so many years; what if something went wrong during use?

Lin Yuheng looked around. The forest was very quiet, and no Yao Beasts were seen. "Where is this?"

Lin Yongmao said, "This is a hidden Sea Island in the Dragon Abyss Sea, and we are in a forest on the Sea Island."

Originally, there were many Yao Beasts on the Sea Island, but now they were nowhere to be seen.

Lin Yongmao's Divine Sense spread out. It wasn't that there were no Yao Beasts, but that all the Yao Beasts had gathered in one place.

"There's only one Third-Stage Early Stage Yao Beast; it's still worth investigating," Lin Yongmao thought to himself.

The two concealed their auras, with the Breath Concealment Art running at its maximum, and headed towards the location of the Yao Beast group.

There were three types of Yao Beasts in the group: Rot Poison Flower Spider, Earth Armor Lizard, and Datura Flower.

The Datura Flower was the Third-Stage Yao Beast. The other two types of Yao Beasts were very numerous, but there was only one Datura Flower Yao Beast, and it was a rare plant-type Yao Beast.

They surrounded a bush, and three fruits had already formed in the bush. These three fruits were silver-white and exuded rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, turning out to be a rare spirit plant.

Lin Yongmao had seen an introduction to these fruits in the Medium-Level Spiritual Plant Compendium; they were indeed Silver-White Vermilion Fruits.

This bush was the Silver-White Vermilion Fruit plant. Judging by the coverage area of the bush, these Silver-White Vermilion Fruits were at least over seven hundred years old.

A seven-hundred-year-old spirit plant was indeed enough to make a Third-Stage Yao Beast covet it!

The reason why all the Yao Beasts gathered here was for these few ripe Silver-White Vermilion Fruits.

However, the three parties were in a standoff, none of them making a move directly.

The Rot Poison Flower Spiders and Earth Armor Lizards had the advantage in numbers, and there was a subtle trend of them uniting to deal with the Datura Flower.

Together, there were hundreds of them, and at least Second-Stage Middle Stage cultivation, with most even being Second-Stage Late Stage and Great Perfection cultivation.

Lin Yongmao was not in a hurry to act, because the two sides were about to fight. He planned to reap the benefits of their conflict.

Silver-White Vermilion Fruits could cleanse marrow and strengthen muscles, so these Yao Beasts were willing to fight for them even if they knew the danger.

The Datura Flower was about four zhang tall, taller than many ancient trees, and it made a "goo-goo-goo" sound.

"Perfect! Besides consuming these three spirit plants, all of you are this Venerable One's blood food!"

The Datura Flower usually didn't pay attention to these Yao Beasts, swallowing one in a single bite, but now that they were united, it had to treat them cautiously.

However, the dignity of a Third-Stage Yao Beast could not be provoked.

It exhaled a cloud of smoke. The dark green smoke covered most of the Yao Beasts, and even accidentally attacked in the direction of Lin Yongmao and him.

Lin Yuheng was about to act, but Lin Yongmao stopped him.

【Water Screen Heaven's Splendor】

A water-attribute secret art was cast by Lin Yongmao, protecting both of them within a layer of water screen, isolating the dark green smoke.

Lin Yongmao's true essence was controlled extremely well; he didn't reveal any superfluous aura, perhaps also because the Yao Beasts' battle was too fierce.

Many Earth Armor Lizards were directly poisoned to death by the dark green smoke. Although their defenses were strong, they were not immune to the Datura Flower's fatal toxins.

The Rot Poison Flower Spiders, on the other hand, were unaffected. They were already masters of poison, and their toxin resistance was very high.

The Earth Armor Lizards and Rot Poison Flower Spiders all attacked the Datura Flower's main body. The Earth Armor Lizards' sharp teeth frantically gnawed at the Datura Flower's stem, while the Rot Poison Flower Spiders spat out poisonous spider webs.

They believed in the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

The Datura Flower moved. Countless dense vines grew from its roots. These vines all had barbs and strangled the approaching Earth Armor Lizards.

Lin Yongmao sighed helplessly. This was already a one-sided situation; no matter how many Second-Stage Yao Beasts there were, they were no match for the Datura Flower.

Lin Yongmao no longer hesitated; he decisively made his move.

【Leaf Flying Sword】

【Southern Vermilion Depart Fire】

The ultimate flames and the sword soul grass leaves attacked the Datura Flower's main body under Lin Yongmao's split-mind control.

The Datura Flower realized the fatal danger, but it was already too late.

"Sneaking an attack, are you not playing fair?"

It only managed to say this one sentence before its main stem was severed by the sword soul grass leaf Flying Sword, and the Nanming Li Fire burned down its vines that covered several miles.

Lin Yongmao smiled faintly. It wasn't that he couldn't defeat it in a frontal attack, but that a sneak attack was more cost-effective.

Without advance defense, the Datura Flower was killed by Lin Yongmao. The geng metal qi and ultimate flames completely severed its life and death; even its Divine Soul did not escape.

A bluish-green Yao core flew out, and with a wave of Lin Yongmao's hand, it flew into his grasp.

"Done!"

Lin Yuheng was stunned by Lin Yongmao's actions. Was his nephew already this strong? This was a Third-Stage Yao Beast, after all!

Didn't they say it was very difficult to kill an opponent of the same stage in battle?

But just now, Lin Yongmao clearly only used two moves!

Lin Yongmao said to Lin Yuheng, "Uncle, let's take all the Yao Beast corpses here. We can bring them back to the Family. Yao Beast Materials don't sell for a good price in East Sea City."

Lin Yongmao's words interrupted Lin Yuheng's daze. "Oh..."

Lin Yongmao said, "There's a Spiritual Vein on this Sea Island, and the quality of the Spiritual Vein is definitely not low. We can use this place as our stronghold in East Sea City."

Lin Yongmao had long discovered that there was a Spiritual Vein on this Sea Island, but unfortunately, he hadn't found out where the Spiritual Vein was.

The fact that so many Yao Beasts could live on this Sea Island showed its extraordinary nature.

"But, although this place is remote, some Cultivators might eventually discover it, right? What then...?" Lin Yuheng voiced his concerns.

"Don't worry, I have a way."
