Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 13 Nightmare Man-Eating Flower

[Ding! Congratulations! You have accumulated 10 points. You can now open a low-level blind box!]

A pop-up window suddenly appeared in the system. Bai Yu was puzzled. Blind boxes? Is this some kind of lottery?

Basic blind boxes cost 10 points, intermediate blind boxes cost 100 points, and advanced blind boxes cost 1000 points.

Looking at the price list provided by the system, Bai Yu couldn't help but wonder:

"System, aren't they all blind boxes? What's the difference between high-end and low-end?"

The higher the level of the blind box, the higher the probability of getting good items. Taking spirit rings as an example, the probability of getting a ten-thousand-year spirit ring from a high-level blind box is 50%, 5% for a mid-level one, and 0.5% for a low-level one.

Bai Yu understood, but since it was a blind box, the probability of losing everything once opened was not small. Should he open it or not?

Never mind, it's only 10 points, I'll open one.

Since it's just a low-level blind box anyway, Bai Yu would be content if he didn't get a lollipop or anything. Besides, he still has six years to accumulate points and refine his soul, so what's the rush?

[Ding! Open the low-level blind box. Congratulations! You have obtained a copy of "Douluo Continent Plant Encyclopedia". The knowledge will directly enter your mind.]

Bai Yu's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

What does that mean? Is it what I think it means?

He glanced in a random direction and saw a blade of grass. As the weeds came into view, he naturally recalled information about this type of grass.

[Pigtail Grass, no soul power, ordinary plant.]

He looked in another direction, where there was a bamboo plant.

[Guzhu, Ten Years of Soul Power]

Bai Yu was stunned. Does that mean I can recognize any plant I see now?

Holy crap, I opened this thing from a low-level blind box, will it shorten my lifespan?

I didn't use my lifespan to open the box, don't mess with me!

At this point, the Dark Fox Wolf, unable to wait any longer for its teammates, retreated.

The dean turned around, saw Bai Yu's shocked expression, and thought he was frightened, so he comforted him:

"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid. I'm here as the dean; you'll be alright!"

Bai Yu snapped out of his daze and followed Dean Wu's words, saying:

"Thank you, Dean!"

Dean Wu nodded and said:

"That night fox wolf is gone. It probably won't be coming back. You should rest."

Bai Yu nodded, but at that moment, a surge of soul power suddenly came, which even Bai Yu could feel.

Dean Wu's expression changed:

"This is a sign of battle, not far away, Xiaoyu, be careful!"

Bai Yu dared not be negligent and once again summoned the Emperor's Banner.

Dean Wu closed his eyes and carefully sensed the movements around him. Suddenly, he picked up a few stones and threw them at a clump of grass.

A figure suddenly flashed out from the bushes and attacked the two of them with lightning speed!

Bai Yu looked closely and saw that it was the same dark fox wolf from before, with an ordinary-looking flower still stuck to its tail.

Suddenly, a pop-up window from the system appeared before his eyes, from the plant encyclopedia.

[Nightmare Man-Eating Flower, 415 years ago, skilled at creating illusions, often devouring the souls of other soul beasts and turning them into puppets]

Bai Yu's pupils contracted, and he looked at the Dark Night Fox Wolf again. It was a puppet of the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower.

Is the flower on its tail the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower?

The commotion just now was caused by the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower eating it, turning it into a puppet, and then using it as bait to approach Dean Wu and me, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Although this Nightmare Man-Eating Flower is weaker than Dean Wu, it can create illusions and is good at sneak attacks. If Dean Wu is not prepared, it may not be a match for it!

Dean Wu

"Xiaoyu, step back!"

Dean Wu snorted coldly, interrupting Bai Yu. Then, he stomped his right foot, and his martial spirit appeared—a giant bumblebee!

"First Soul Skill: Wasp Sting!"

The dean let out a low roar, and the Wasp Martial Soul immediately shot out an enormous poisonous stinger, which shot towards the Dark Night Fox Wolf.

The Dark Night Fox Wolf dodged left and right, but its strength was low. It was locked by Dean Wu's soul power and could not dodge at all. After a futile struggle, the Dark Night Fox Wolf was pierced by the poisonous stinger on the spot.

Dean Wu said disdainfully:

"A mere twenty-year-old fox dares to cause me trouble?"

As he spoke, he walked over to the Dark Night Fox Wolf, intending to clean it up and roast it.

At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly shouted:

"Dean, watch out!"

Dean Wu was stunned. The next moment, the flower on the tail of the Dark Night Fox Wolf suddenly turned into a gaping maw and lunged at Dean Wu!

[Plot: The Nightmare Man-Eating Flower successfully infiltrated the area and suddenly lunged at Dean Wu the moment he approached.]

Bai Yu gritted his teeth. "I only have one last chance to make basic changes. I'll make them!"

He changed "near" to "far".

Dean Wu's heart sank as he watched a gaping maw lunge toward him. Being attacked at such close range, he feared he was in grave danger!

However, the next second his vision blurred, and then he was shocked to find that the gaping maw that was just in front of him suddenly appeared three meters away.

Dean Wu was taken aback. An illusion?

Could it be that this man-eating flower is actually a little distance away from me, but has created an illusion that it is very close, in order to scare me?

In an instant, he was drenched in sweat.

Damn it, I was really scared just now. If I had made a mistake, Bai Yu would have been in danger!

Without hesitation, Dean Wu acted swiftly, fueled by his anger.

"Damn it, take this! My second soul skill, Swarm of Bees!"

In an instant, a swarm of wasps appeared in front of Dean Wu, surrounding the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower and continuously draining its soul power.

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he made it in time.

He summoned the Emperor's Banner, enveloping Dean Wu within it and providing him with a slight buff.

At this moment, the most bewildered was the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower. It thought its plan was flawless, using the puppet Dark Night Fox Wolf...

Only it knows that it didn't use illusions, so how did the prey that was so close suddenly retreat two meters?

Is it open?

The Nightmare Man-Eating Flower had no idea what trick Dean Wu had used. It only knew that it had failed. It was not good at direct confrontation and had to run away as soon as possible!

Suddenly, the carnivorous plant erupted, opening its gaping maw and swallowing all the wasps whole in one gulp before fleeing!

Even if it means serious injury, it must escape as quickly as possible!

Its outburst was so sudden that Bai Yu had no chance to react at all. He was even startled and took a few steps back when it opened its mouth. The next second, it started to run away.

Fortunately, Dean Wu was prepared. Seeing that it actually wanted to escape, he sneered and said:

"Trying to run? Stay here and become Xiaoyu's spirit ring! Third spirit skill, Tail-Severing Strike!"

Dean Wu's third soul ring flashed, and the next moment, the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower, which was fleeing, suddenly shuddered. The wasps that it had swallowed used their last breaths to shoot out their stingers, and countless stingers pierced through the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower's body!

"puff!"

Dean Wu also coughed up blood, which startled Bai Yu. Dean Wu quickly said:

"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid. This is the backlash of my third soul skill, Tail Severing Strike. It caused all the wasps summoned by my second soul skill to burn their life force and shoot out stingers, which had great destructive power. That's why I was able to fight against a Soul Master despite being a Soul Venerable. But the backlash is not small either."

"However, as long as you can absorb the man-eating flower's spirit ring, this minor injury is nothing!"

Bai Yu was deeply moved upon hearing this. He took out a dagger, walked to the dying Nightmare Man-Eating Flower, and stabbed it fiercely!
