Chapter 464
A moment later, after they had finished clearing the battlefield, Cao Xing went down and collected everything on the ground.

…
A large pile of materials included two Blue Grade Human-faced Tree Hearts.
This grade of Human-faced Tree Heart had already been consumed by Da Bai and Wally Bell three times, so it no longer had any effect on them.
Only by finding a Boss Level or higher Human-faced Tree Heart could they continue to grow.
Then, he collected the vines on the ground.
They continued marching forward.
This time, Cao Xing decided to delve directly into the Witch Forest, specifically targeting those advanced monsters.
He wondered if he could find several Advanced Power Hearts.
Thus, he didn’t linger much in the outer areas and instead went straight in.
More than an hour later.
They had ventured approximately thirty kilometers into the Witch Forest.
This was already deeper than Cao Xing’s previous exploration.
During this time, they had encountered several battles, but all were easily resolved by Cao Xing’s followers.
As they ventured deeper, the monster levels increased.
Cao Xing also discovered that the plants inside became increasingly robust.
Giant trees towering over a hundred meters were commonly seen.
The dense foliage near-completely blocked all overhead light, with only sporadic rays shining through.
This made the entire forest seem dark and cold…
If ordinary people entered here, it might scare them to death!
Fortunately, they were all third-tier beings, and their eyesight was very keen, so it didn’t affect them much.
Cao Xing looked up towards the canopy and marveled, “Tsk tsk, I really don’t know how these trees grow so tall in such a harsh environment.”
Andrew chuckled lightly, “Nature is indeed miraculous, Lord.”
“Some plants are naturally able to adapt to cold weather and even grow magical fruits.”
“Moreover, in a forest that has remained untouched for years, who knows, you might encounter some magical plants.”
Cao Xing said eagerly, “Oh? Are they magic plants?”
Andrew nodded.
Hearing this, Cao Xing’s interest was piqued.
But before he could speak.
Renice suddenly said, “Lord, there’s a situation ahead!”
Hearing this, the group immediately became alert, focusing their gaze forward.
They saw some eerie plants appearing beneath a few large trees ahead.
They seemed to be a peculiar kind of flower, unusually tall.
Each was over a meter high.
All of them were currently in a state of bud formation, resembling a series of standing white vases.
Looking around, there were at least forty or fifty such flowers in this area.
Assam abruptly drew his longsword.
Beside him, Andrew also said, “These plants have an evil aura about them.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing naturally realized there was something wrong with the flowers.
He then said directly, “Renice, Eliza, shoot an arrow.”
Upon receiving Cao Xing’s command, the two archers simultaneously drew their bowstrings.
Creak! Creak!
The bowstrings formed a full moon shape.
In the next moment, a Gale Arrow and a cold-infused arrow shot out rapidly.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
[-2147]
[-1772]
Eliza’s damage was a notch lower than Renice’s.
But this was a normal occurrence.
This also indicated that these flowers indeed had a problem.
With their attack moves,
Everyone saw the dozens of giant flowers in front of them slowly start to rotate.
Like a vortex.
Their petals gradually unfurled.
However, unlike their white petals,
Once fully opened, they saw that the inside petals were a black-purple color!
Covered with spikes, resembling monster teeth!
Moreover, in the center of the petals, was a cyan-purple tendril, like a monster’s tongue, dancing in mid-air.
Just by looking at this appearance, it was clear these flowers were not benign!
Cao Xing quickly focused his sight.
