Under the observation of Zhang Ling's spiritual consciousness, he immediately saw clearly that what was emitting red light was a main body connected by countless roots. It looked like a strange flower carved from blood jade.
The faint consciousness he felt just now was emitted from this flower. After seeing the full picture of the strange flower, Zhang Ling determined that this flower did indeed possess independent consciousness and belonged to a wood spirit-like sprite.
Once these types of things transform, their strength is not weak, and they also possess many incredible supernatural powers.
However, the strange flower in front of him has extremely weak consciousness, tending more towards instinct. It is probably not even as good as the consciousness of ordinary wild beasts. To be precise, it is more inclined towards a special monster between plants and animals. It cannot be regarded as a true wood spirit.
Zhang Ling floated in mid-air, watching the strange flower in front of him with great interest. He slightly raised his left arm, and the parasitic vine on his arm rotated out in circles.
Since he encountered such a special creature here, he would naturally not let it go. These things often produce some special treasures within their bodies.
Things like the 'Exotic Wood Spirit Pearl' and 'Wood Spirit Essence', among other special spiritual objects, are treasures that are hard to come by.
As the parasitic vine stretched out from his hand, the strange flower in the deep pit seemed to sense hostility and twisted frantically again. Those strange flower buds, like strange mouths, swayed as they opened and closed.
A strange 'cooing' sound came from the flower. As the flower swayed, the dense, blood-red threads extending from it separated to the sides.
An eerie scene appeared before him. Countless blood-red threads soared into the sky, lighting up with a blood-red light.
Zhang Ling had no expression and no fear. This flower demon had not yet taken shape, and the wood-attributed spiritual power it emitted, although strong, was at most only a seventh-order peak-level demon beast.
However, as the flower demon bloomed countless flower buds, the blood-red threads emerging from them weaved together rhythmically in the air, instantly weaving into more than a dozen strange-looking demon beast forms, charging over.
These demon beasts were lifelike, blood-red all over, and looked strange.
"Interesting."
Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he instantly saw that these woven demon beasts were naturally not real demon beasts, but only had the appearance. The essence was still the blood-colored thread attack thrown out by the flower demon.
With a thought, the parasitic vine, in a burst of green and red spiritual light, transformed into a gray-green vine with bone-like hard armor growing on it. It didn't look like a vine, but rather like a bone whip.
With a soft swishing sound, the transformed vine grew to more than thirty 'zhang(丈: zhang - a unit of length)', and as it swayed, the first few blood-colored demon beasts were instantly shattered, turning into a cloud of blood-colored fluff, flying everywhere.
His parasitic vine had previously absorbed the special spiritual bone collected during the free trade, greatly increasing its power, and its toughness was no less than that of ordinary magical treasures.
With the amplification of the Nascent Soul cultivation, it was also a good method to deal with monks of the same rank. Dealing with this flower demon that had not yet taken shape was naturally easy.
Streams of light and shadow constantly appeared before his eyes, and the whistling sound of the wind entered his ears. Large swaths of blood-colored threads were churned into dust.
The 'cooing' sound rang out again, and the root part released by the flower demon also shook frantically. It was like countless white snakes dancing wildly.
But under Zhang Ling's offensive, it had no effect. Within a few breaths, the vine in his hand shattered most of the fine roots extending from the flower demon.
The flower demon lost its roots, and the aura it emitted immediately weakened a lot.
Afterwards, the flower demon seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the remaining root parts contracted, and in a moment, all of them were retracted into the ground pit.
The largest strange flower on the main body released a cloud of blood-red smoke as it shook. This cloud of smoke spread quickly and instantly covered the entire deep pit.
The main body of the flower demon immediately became blurred.
Zhang Ling's eyes also flickered for a moment, and a large area of afterimages appeared. This blood-colored smoke seemed to have the effect of creating illusions. He snorted coldly, and the phantoms in front of him disappeared instantly.
At the same time, the main body of the flower demon also quickly contracted into the ground and disappeared.
"It even has the consciousness to escape."
Zhang Ling was wrapped in a layer of yellow light and instantly fell into the ground. This flower demon was traveling fast underground, and what it was using was also a 'earth escape technique'.
This was not surprising. Once wood spirit sprites have consciousness, it is easy to master earth and wood escape techniques. This is the innate supernatural power of such creatures, and the escape techniques they often use are more exquisite than those of human monks.
However, a flower demon that has not yet taken shape, no matter how proficient it is in escape techniques, cannot escape from the eyes of his Nascent Soul monk.
Only a shaking of the nearby ground was heard, and before long, a loud bang was heard. Another ground hundreds of 'zhang(丈: zhang - a unit of length)' away suddenly exploded into a huge earth pit.
A gray-white thing more than twenty 'zhang(丈: zhang - a unit of length)' in size shot out of the earth pit, like a huge ball.
This object was made of countless gray-white plant roots entwined together, and it emitted a layer of yellow-green fluorescence, with a strange, huge flower wrapped in the center, pulsating like a heart, very spiritual.
As soon as the ball flew out of the ground, it immediately shot out countless roots, wrapped around several large trees in the distance, and crossed a large distance in a flash, looking like it still wanted to escape.
But at the same time, a strange vine窜出 from the earth pit that had just exploded, like a giant snake, and instantly wrapped around the ball. Under the rapid entanglement, it wrapped the ball into a giant cocoon.
The flower demon trapped inside frantically changed rapidly. However, the vine cocoon also emitted a layer of green and red spiritual light, and no matter how the flower demon struggled inside, it could not break free.
Zhang Ling appeared silently beside him, and with a urging of the magic formula in his hand, he shot out streams of spiritual light that submerged into the vine cocoon. In the blink of an eye, the vine cocoon quickly shrank, shrinking to three or four 'zhang(丈: zhang - a unit of length)' in size, and then stopped shaking.
He then cast more than a dozen magic formulas, completely sealing the flower demon inside. With a final wave, the vine cocoon detached from the vine growing on his left arm and was collected into his Two Instruments Gourd.
After solving this thing, Zhang Ling smiled with great joy. He didn't expect that the first harvest from entering the Heavenly Palace was actually a flower demon that had not yet taken shape.
Then he went down to the deep pit where the flower demon had been before and explored it. Before long, he flew out of the ground, left the place without delay, and continued on his way.
