When system cheat becomes rampant!

Xiang Beifei had no concept of Edge Corner Airspace, but he was too embarrassed to ask more since he was supposed to be from the "Congji Abyss," and by rights, should have been aware of these things. He could only wait for Li Qianluo to inadvertently reveal more, pretending he was just someone who had snuck out.

By now, many people had passed through the vast white mist, and it was unclear where they had gone. Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo also arrived at the plain and submerged themselves in the white fog.

The visibility was about ten meters due to the dense fog around them, but even the mist here was refreshing and clear-headed, brimming with Spiritual Energy that helped everyone enhance their strength. If it weren't for the purpose of competing with others for treasures, cultivating here would have been a fine choice.

The vegetation on the ground was also thriving, with lush green grass. Walking a few steps, one could see one or two trees, and occasionally, there were bees and butterflies fluttering about. But apart from insects, there seemed to be no other small desolate beasts; it appeared very tranquil and peaceful.

They continued forward and had flown for an hour without seeing anyone else; it seemed everyone else was flying much faster, and now it was unclear where they had gone. Due to the low visibility, they probably dispersed immediately after entering.

Xiang Beifei was extremely vigilant along the way. He spread out his spiritual power, hoping to perceive his surroundings through it, but regrettably, his spiritual power was also severely suppressed here.

"How come there's no one around?" Li Qianluo muttered.

"Be careful, I feel something's off about this place," Xiang Beifei said.

The space here was restricted, making instant teleportation impractical; flying was the only option for travel.

However, just at this moment, a fragrance wafted over from somewhere, sweeping over their noses with its delightful scent.

They walked another ten meters or so when suddenly several voices emerged from up ahead, as if some people were conversing. The two of them quietly approached and concealed their presence behind a rock.

In front of them were four males, looking very similar to humans, at least different from the Yi Tribe with distinctive features like the Panjiao Race and Sading Race.

Yet, these four individuals had weaker cultivations than Xiang Beifei and his companion; two were at the orifice transforming phase, and two at the God Refining phase, currently discussing the cluster of flowers in front of them.

These flowers amazed Xiang Beifei and his companion, as just one flower was as big as a small tent. All the flowers were lying on the ground, white in color. The vines were very robust, like winding stone pillars, and the leaves were as large as doors.

The flowers stretched across the ground like a sea of flowers, but in the very center of this Flower Sea was a very large flower support.

The round flower support was four to five meters in diameter, resembling a flower base left behind after the petals had wilted, and it was filled with sparkling and transparent fruit. Each fruit was pointed, diamond-shaped, about the height of an average person, wrapped in rich Spiritual Energy, looking like spiritual power crystals!

And they were at least the spiritual power crystals of the orifice transforming phase!

This was extremely pure and valuable stuff. If harvested and assimilated, it would be enough to raise one's cultivation level by a notch.

And now, those four cultivators in front had set their minds on these fruits.

"Remember, I and Yuan will draw the flowers' attention, and you two immediately use the King Blade to get the fruits! We two will cover you," said one of the orifice transforming phase cultivators.

"Understood," the two God Refining phase cultivators replied.

"Be careful, everything here is not simple; in fact, it's very dangerous. Stay alert, and if you sense that something is wrong, retreat immediately. Don't resist stubbornly—life is the most important," another cultivator instructed.

All four cultivators were clearly very cautious, aware of the dangers here. After discussing their plan, they immediately started to act. As soon as the two at the orifice transforming phase leapt up, vines suddenly sprang out from within the flowers, coiling towards them.

One of them swung his hand, releasing a burst of black blades from his palm, slashing at the vines!

Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal resounded; the vines were very tough, with the strength of the orifice transforming phase. They fought the cultivator back and forth, but the two cultivators were clearly superior, quickly shredding the vines.

While dealing with the vines, they protected their companions and gradually approached the flower support, aiming to harvest the fruits.

The battle here was more than the two cultivators at the God Refining stage could intervene in, but the four of them were in such perfect sync that they didn't need the two God Refining practitioners to handle the danger. As they approached the flower receptacle, the two God Refining cultivators quickly leaped onto it and grasped for the fruits.

However, as soon as they touched the fruit, a strange light emanated from within. The abundant energy within the spiritual power crystals seemed to melt away, turning into a mist and swiftly attaching itself to the hands of the two God Refining practitioners, before spreading over their bodies.

"Ah! Help!"

One of the God Refining cultivators had just cried out in terror when his screams abruptly stopped because his entire body was enveloped, and that white mist settled upon him, solidifying once more.

"Something's not right! Retreat quickly!"

The two Orifice Transforming cultivators from the Yi Tribe also changed complexion drastically!

But by then it was too late. The other God Refining cultivator suffered the same fate, entwined by the white mist, he stood frozen on the flower receptacle. In just a moment, both practitioners had turned into a pair of crystal-clear, white crystal fruits.

Now everyone finally understood what those spiritual power crystals on the flower receptacle were all about. They were not the transformation of fruits into spiritual power crystals; rather, they were the result of invaders being caught and wrapped into such substances!

The two Orifice Transforming Yi Tribesmen looked at each other in terror and started to run, but they didn't get very far before the flowers crawling on the ground all suddenly sprang to life, pouncing on them.

At that moment, the aura of the Flower Sea suddenly intensified, as if it surged violently. When the two Yi Tribesmen's blades struck the flower whiskers, the whiskers emitted a tinkling sound. This time, they were not shattered by the blades but instead directly broke the blades!

"How did they get stronger?"

The Yi tribesman exclaimed in shock, but as soon as he finished speaking, one of the huge flowers lunged at him, biting down, and with a gurgle, the petals closed swiftly, tightening around him. Within moments, the flower turned into a bud ready to bloom.

"Damn!"

The other Yi tribesman's complexion changed drastically, but he had no intention of trying to save the other, still attempting to fly out. However, just as he was about to escape the edge of the Flower Sea, a flower pounced and bit him, and in an instant, he too perished.

The entire Flower Sea returned to its tranquil state, the breeze sifting through the large swaying blossoms; all seemed serene, except for two diamond-shaped spiritual power crystal fruits that now adorned the centerpiece of the flower receptacle.

——

Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo looked at each other.

"This flower is no simple thing, it knows how to disguise itself, and it's learned to hunt," Li Qianluo whispered.

Xiang Beifei had also realized that the seemingly benign Flower Sea, in reality, did not just exhibit the aura of the Orifice Transforming stage; it was the strength of the Heavenly Connection realm!

But these sinister flowers had a limited range of motion, so they couldn't ensnare their prey. Hence, they disguised the flower receptacles filled with spiritual power crystals. Once the prey was lured in by these crystals and ventured inside, they fell into the flowers' killing range.

So the initial shattering of those flower whiskers was all an act, a ploy to feign weakness to the four Yi Tribesmen, and when they believed they were strong enough to breach them, the flowers revealed their true nature, catching them completely off guard!

The entire hunting scene unfolded with rapid precision, concluding in under a minute.

"The flowers here are indeed clever," Xiang Beifei couldn't help saying.

"Indeed, we must not underestimate anything in this place,"

Li Qianluo frowned, a rare seriousness overtaking him.

They had only been here less than an hour, and already Yi Tribe cultivators had lost their lives. It was clear that this was no ordinary place.
