Chapter 155: Obtaining the Rainbow Glass Flower - (1)

Hua Mi discovered that the Snake Demon would venture into the cultivation chamber every day at a fixed time, utilizing the magical elements of the Rainbow Glass Flower for practice.

It was the perfect moment to act.

However, according to the plan, Hua Mi didn't immediately initiate the action. Instead, she waited for a while, ensuring that the Snake Demon was completely immersed in its practice.

"Go!"

Hua Mi commanded.

The seven small spirits flew out from their concealed positions.

Bang!

The red flower spirit enlarged in the air, pounding the entrance as it landed, relentlessly punching toward the cave's opening.

Two magic frogs hurriedly sprawled to the sides upon seeing this, narrowly escaping being mashed into pulp.

Glancing back, the door was already fractured into pieces.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The magic frogs screeched.

Yet, the seven flower spirits had no intention of rushing inside; they waited at the entrance.

Soon, the patrolling magic bats outside rushed in, engaging in a fierce battle with the flower spirits at the cave's mouth.

Hua Mi remained hidden among the bushes, biding her time.

It wasn't the right moment yet.

From the previous defensive battle, Hua Mi knew that the group of magic bats could still be handled by the seven small spirits.

Each of the flower spirits displayed their own abilities, fending off the incoming bats, taking them down one by one.

Before long, the cave echoed with chaotic footsteps.

"They're here."

Pale flames ignited in Hua Mi's eyes as she peered through the gaps in the bushes, focusing on the direction of the cave's entrance.

First to charge out was a sturdy figure with a lion's face, scorpion's tail, and dual wings on its back.

Scorpion Lion, classified as a Level 7 Magic Beast.

In reality, though powerful, its intelligence didn't match humans', and it moved on all fours.

However, in the dream world, it could walk upright, wielding two battle axes.

Following it were a bunch of lower-level creatures like magic frogs and thousand-eyed spiders.

"Daring to come to us on your own."

The Scorpion Lion snarled, revealing saw-like teeth.

The seven small spirits immediately concentrated their attacks on it.

With a swing of its axes, the Scorpion Lion easily blocked their assaults.

Then, it flapped its wings, flying towards the flower spirits in the sky.

Leveraging their agility, the flower spirits maneuvered amidst the attacks from the Scorpion Lion and the bats, launching strikes whenever they found an opening.

The two sides tangled, unable to determine a clear victor.

Continuously harassed by the seven small spirits, the Scorpion Lion visibly grew irritable.

Hua Mi kept using her "fire eyes" from below, spotting its vulnerabilities and sharing them with the seven small spirits through telepathy.

Hence, most of their attacks were effective.

Though the Scorpion Lion had thick skin, it couldn't withstand their precise strikes.

So, irritability escalated to fury.

"It's now!"

Hua Mi telepathically commanded the small spirits. Instantly, as if predetermined, they retreated in unison.

The heavily injured Scorpion Lion roared and immediately pursued them without hesitation.

Following their flight trajectory closely, it gracefully descended in a low arc, grazing over a thicket of bushes.

Hua Mi had been waiting within.

By now, the Scorpion Lion was boiling with rage, riddled with vulnerabilities.

Hua Mi's "fire eyes" targeted its most significant flaw, seizing the opportunity to leap out fiercely from the bushes.

"For Demacia!"

With an upgraded metal-handled hoe raised high, she viciously struck the Scorpion Lion's head.

Boom!

The hoe completely coiled around.

Truly a Level 7 Magic Beast, its head was like iron.

However, being hard-headed didn't stop it from feeling dizzy.

"Roar"

The Scorpion Lion bellowed, instantly losing balance, falling onto the ground and rapidly sliding forward, leaving a deep mark on the surface.

The direction it slid after falling was precisely designed by Hua Mi.

Not far away stood a large tree.

True to the plan, the Scorpion Lion crashed headlong into the sturdy trunk.

Under the dual impact, it instantly fell into a state of unconsciousness.

But as powerful as the Scorpion Lion was, the dizziness caused by this level of attack wouldn't last long.

The Purple Flower Spirit had long been waiting and, even before the Scorpion Lion recovered from its dizziness, aimed a flower-shaped magical tool in her hand at the convulsing lion.

"Capture!"

The petals slightly opened, emitting a purple-hued halo that encircled the Scorpion Lion.

Under the halo's envelopment, the lion's body twisted and deformed, instantly turning into an afterimage, being sucked into the petals.

The petals closed slowly.

Capture successful!

As per the initial plan, they should have withdrawn at this point.

However, what followed didn't entirely unfold as Hua Mi had anticipated.

Before they could retreat, the original Snake Demon had already emerged from the cave.

They had tangled too long with the Scorpion Lion.

Or perhaps the opponent had prematurely concluded today's training.

Her upper body resembled that of a human woman, but her lower half was a snake's.

In reality, the original Snake Demon was an intelligent species.

Yet, it didn't belong to the mainstream on the Western Continent. Currently, they mostly lived in tribal forms. Adventure guides categorized their entire race as "Neutral Evil" of course, individual differences might exist.

It's said they were transformed from humans.

Regarding the origins of the original Snake Demon, due to the passage of ages, specifics were unknown, with several theories circulating.

Such as curses, rituals, alchemical experiments, and so on...

The Snake Demon held a flowerpot in her hands, containing a plant emitting a colorful, radiant glow.

The flower appeared iridescent, crafted as if by some special process.

Without a doubt, this was the legendary Rainbow Glass Flower.

At the sight of it, Hua Mi felt a flutter in her heart, as if some connection had formed between them.

Just as the Spirit of the Black Forest had mentioned earlier.

This totem was created with her involvement, naturally invoking a response upon seeing it.

"And indeed, it's the Nectar Blossom... just as I expected."

Hua Mi couldn't help but think, if only she could bring it back to reality.

The Snake Demon's vertical pupils fixated on her, hissing venomously.

"Don't act recklessly, or the one inside will turn into pus at any moment." Hua Mi gestured to the Purple Flower Spirit above, cautioning.

"HissWhat do you want? Hiss" The Snake Demon's voice lacked any warmth, chilling to hear.

"I want the flower in your hand." Hua Mi no longer beat around the bush, straightforwardly presenting her demand.

The Snake Demon's eyes spun, handing the flowerpot forward, coldly saying, "Come and take it, hiss"

"Alright."

Hua Mi headed towards her.

The ease with which the other party agreed certainly posed a problem.

The Snake Demon should have sensed no trace of magic on her, considering her just an ordinary farmer. Therefore, she was completely unguarded, confident in instantly subduing her.
