Chapter 361

And Zhao Chi's torch brightness has now increased by 1000%, with the illuminated area expanded tenfold.

But the illumination distance has only improved by roughly 316%.

A torch can illuminate about 5 meters.

This ultra-bright torch can illuminate a radius of 21 meters.

Quite far.

The entire procession now looks like a brightly glowing fire dragon.

Wherever it goes, the animals there scatter away in a patch.

These women move at extreme speed.

After a little over ten minutes, they could see the hazy, petite figures in the distance.

Gu Qing raised her hand and shouted.

"Careful — targets spotted ahead. Spread out and flank them. Remember to hold your breath in advance."

Tang Ruan burst forward: "Copy that! We go first — everyone scatter, follow me!"

Tang Ruan charged straight ahead, torch held high.

Zhao Chi ordered: "Gu Qing, we pincer them from left and right!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The entire formation immediately shifted into a horizontal line, which then morphed into a Crane Wing formation — a very flat W shape.

The three upward points were the silhouettes of the three heroes.

Another half minute passed, and the distance between the two sides closed.

By the distant firelight, the flower demons' appearance could now be seen in full.

Overall, they took the form of human women.

Heads, bodies, limbs — all complete.

Their skin was also extremely fair.

Unlike the Taoyuan humans' tender white, pinkish-through-the-white complexion.

It was a pure white, the color of snow.

Their pupils were large and very black, darting around with great liveliness.

Behind those fair backs sprouted a pair of large wings.

Like giant butterfly wings, covered in all manner of colorful patterns.

Each flower demon's wings were a different color, but without exception, all bore vivid, sharply defined patterns.

Bathed in the firelight, they reflected scattered specks of colored radiance.

Qi Yue could not help but sigh in admiration.

Qi Yue 【My lord, their wings are so beautiful — prettier than flowers】

Zhao Chi 【Anything that pretty is poisonous. All their various toxic dusts are fanned out from those wings】

At the same time, Zhao Chi shouted: "Watch out for the dust when they flap their wings — it has all kinds of negative effects. Break off their wings and bind them so we can take them prisoner."

Tang Ruan shouted from afar: "Is it okay to break their wings? They won't die, will they?"

"No, they can regrow."

"Understood! Attack!"

Tang Ruan's group charged in first.

Suddenly, she noticed colorful specks of light glittering everywhere ahead — crystalline and lovely to look at.

But they also somewhat obstructed the view.

Zhao Chi had warned them earlier, so Tang Ruan and the others had already held their breath.

But these dust particles seemed to take effect not only through breathing — skin contact worked too.

Though they were all wearing leather armor and silk stockings.

These dust particles were extremely fine and dense.

They penetrated everywhere.

Soon, Tang Ruan felt an overwhelming sense of joy.

An inexplicable, uncontrollable excitement.

This feeling…?

Damn!

Could the abnormal status I'm suffering from be extremely severe?

No time to think it through — she no longer had the spare mental capacity either.

There was now only one belief in her heart.

And that was 【Capture more prisoners for my lord!】

Clinging to this conviction, Tang Ruan focused her energy, and her body radiated brilliant light.

Over a dozen faint purple beams of light shot out, winding into the bodies of the nearby flower demons.

Those flower demons froze.

On those originally expressionless, exquisite little faces, anger actually appeared.

"Fan her first!"

"Take that woman down first!"

"Come on, come on, together!"

"Argh! Hurry up — let that woman be poisoned by a hundred toxins and die!"

"Exactly right, everyone come over here, deal with this woman first!"

The nearby Flower Demons all closed in.

They furiously flapped their wings, wind pressure rose on all sides, and a great cloud of pollen came rushing at her face.

Tang Ruan looked at these dozen-plus "big butterflies" and thought to herself that this Taunt skill really was effective.

Then she used it several more times in a row, drawing every Flower Demon nearby over.

Very quickly.

The colored pollen all around had grown thick enough to choke.

Tang Ruan felt her skin splitting open, blood seeping out.

But very quickly, her hyper-speed self-healing had already mended it.

Her blood seemed to stay at full value the whole time, but her mental state grew stranger and stranger.

She couldn't hold back her smile.

The next second, she charged at the Flower Demon ahead with a wild laugh.

That Flower Demon was fluttering gracefully through a dance two meters up in the air.

Two beautiful big wings kept fanning.

With every flap, pollen of every color flaked off and drifted up into the surroundings.

"Stop flapping, come down!"

Tang Ruan leapt lightly, grabbed her by the wings, and yanked her down.

"Eek!"

The Flower Demon let out a faint shriek.

The voice was sweet and moving.

Too bad, it had no effect on Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan's voice could be even sweeter than hers.

These Flower Demons really were very small.

Their legs were about the same size as Tang Ruan's arm.

Their heads were about the same size as Tang Ruan's fist.

Their features were extremely delicate — tiny nose, tiny eyes, tiny mouth.

Just like dolls.

But Tang Ruan already had no time to look at these; she felt her vision was getting a little blurry, as if tears had been streaming down the whole time.

Her heart was also extremely excited.

"Hehehe, stop squealing."
