Chapter 471: A Swarm of Wind Flowers Too Much to Handle, Arriving at Whirlwind Canyon

Jiang Chen recorded the direction, let the Dragon Race warships depart, then continued toward the Burial Thunder Canyon.

According to Antares' reminder, entering the Burial Thunder Canyon after Level 80 may not be wise.

Jiang Chen had reason to believe that the lower the level when entering the Burial Thunder Canyon, the better.

He excelled at inferring and analyzing from fragmentary information, so he believed the lower the level when entering the Burial Thunder Canyon, the better.

In the blink of an eye, he had already crossed this mountain range.

From the sky, the range stretched for over a thousand kilometers, like a giant dragon lying across the earth.

The range was covered with Thunder Trees, some newly sprouted, some ancient and long-lived.

If one angered a single tree, it might provoke the full assault of the entire Thunder Tree forest.

Just as Jiang Chen was crossing the range, he happened to witness a thunderclap of earth‑shattering magnitude strike the mountains.

The whole range shimmered, a surge of astonishing energy rose from the mountains, startling Jiang Chen.

At that moment, he almost felt as if a deity had descended.

The aura was so strong, surpassing the Angel Holy Spirit of Pseudo‑God level.

However Jiang Chen knew the other side could not be Divine Level.

It should be at the limit of Level 89; although not yet Divine Level, within this range it gathered the power of countless Thunder Trees.

Even if a true Divine‑level Strongman arrived, it might not be able to defeat it.

As for Pseudo‑God level, ten deaths and no survival.

"It really hit the small one and provoked the old one."

"No wonder so many prime Thunder Trees have never been harvested."

After crossing the range, Jiang Chen also let out a slight sigh of relief.

He also feared that if a Thunder Tree set its sights on him, it would be a headache.

Fortunately none did, and he remained unharmed.

The thunder gradually faded, massive lightning, being far…

…flung behind.

No more lightning fell ahead.

Wind and Thunder Continent, many mountains, many ponds, many canyons.

The terrain here is basically these three.

Rolling and undulating, with little flat ground.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a multitude of petals appeared before his eyes.

These petals drifted freely in the air; originally there was no wind in the world, but as they fluttered, they generated a noticeable breeze.

Wind Flowers.

On the Wind and Thunder Continent, the second type of plant‑type monster.

Wind Flowers are not on the ground; they are in the air.

Carried by the wind they fly erratically everywhere, hard to grasp.

According to the data, except in the Thunder Tree zones, one may encounter Wind Flowers at any time.

Encountering a Thunder Tree poses no danger as long as you don't provoke it, but Wind Flowers are different; if you don't provoke them, they will proactively provoke you.

Jiang Chen was already very cautious, yet he still collided head‑on with Wind Flowers.

There was no warning before the collision.

These Wind Flowers flew extremely fast, far faster than Jiang Chen.

Moreover they were silent; by the time Jiang Chen noticed, it was already too late.

Then a gale whooshed, and a torrent of petals swept toward Jiang Chen.

At the same time, the air filled with bursts of floral fragrance.

Wind Flowers are plant‑type monsters and also decent alchemy material.

When they attack, the petals emit fragrance that induces hallucinations, causing one to become lost within.

However, the hallucinogenic divine fragrance has no effect on Jiang Chen.

Wind Flowers whipped up a hurricane that slammed into Jiang Chen; his Bone Armor glittered, blocking the attack entirely.

Jiang Chen pointed and ignited White Light.

Just because Thunder Trees cannot move does not mean Wind Flowers cannot.

According to the data provided by Feng Yiming, Wind Flowers usually act in small groups.

There is no BOSS inside, only large…

…when a massive number of Wind Flowers act together, a BOSS will appear.

Compared to Thunder Trees, dealing with Wind Flowers is much simpler.

Skill: Bone Fang!

He hasn't used this skill in a long time.

Level 52 Bone Fang, 3,120 fangs whistled out, covering a vast area.

The petals dancing in the air simultaneously dodged to both sides at extreme speed, as if teleporting.

Bone Fang missed entirely.

Jiang Chen was startled, "The speed is actually this fast."

He tried several more times, and it remained the same.

Bone Fang simply could not hit.

The data said Wind Flowers are fast, but he hadn't expected them to be this fast.

He pointed at one of the petals and used Detection Technique.

Wind Flower

Level: 72

Strength: 100000

Agility: 300000

Spirit: 150000

Constitution: 180000

Skill: Hallucinogenic Fragrance, Hurricane, Pollen Explosion

Trait: Wind Element Immunity 70%, Extreme Speed Boost

Its total stats are only 730,000, not that high.

But its Agility alone accounts for 300,000, already giving the Wind Flower a speed far surpassing monsters of the same level.

Add to that its own Wind Element attribute and the Extreme Speed Boost trait.

No wonder its speed is so great.

There are hundreds of Wind Flowers before his eyes; using Soul Burn on them is clearly impractical.

"Then I'll make you slow down."

Jiang Chen tapped a finger, and Red Light lit up across the sky.

Since there are no Thunder Trees on the ground now, he no longer has any hesitation.

Within the Red Light, the Wind Flowers' speed instantly slowed.

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face; Curse Skill against ordinary monsters is extremely effective.

These Wind Flowers now drift slowly as if in slow motion.

Don't

Even a level‑20 professional could hit him accurately.

But the next second, he could no longer smile.

A swarm of tiny red swords appeared in the air.

Their number exceeded ten thousand.

Not only in the air, but also on the ground.

The clouds dispersed, and a dense mass of Wind Flowers appeared above his head.

These Wind Flowers had appeared at an unknown time, hidden in the mist, silent and unseen; Jiang Chen never noticed them at all.

And the Wind Flowers on the ground were hidden in the grass, impossible to detect.

The Curse is three‑dimensional, covering a range of 12,600 meters; Jiang Chen cannot even count how many Wind Flowers it envelops.

Ordinary Wind Flowers are fine; even many of them are no threat.

The key is that several Wind Flowers have unusual forms and strong auras, clearly Lord-level BOSSes.

Moreover, a Wind Flower drifted slowly from the sky, its massive petal over a hundred meters in diameter.

Needless to say, it's a World-Class Boss.

Jiang Chen felt himself locked on.

The gale began to howl, and a terrifying attack was imminent.

"I'm going!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen pulled out a random teleportation scroll and activated it.

Accompanied by a flash of light, the person vanished.

The gale swept past where Jiang Chen had been, and the Wind Flowers halted there, unaware of what had happened.

Hundreds of kilometers away, Jiang Chen reappeared.

"That was close to trouble."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, "Who could have thought there would be so many Wind Flowers?"

He now understood why the data said Wind Flowers are more dangerous than Thunder Trees.

After all, Thunder Trees are out in the open; if you don't provoke them, they won't attack.

But Wind Flowers hide themselves.

, ready to strike at any time.

I originally thought there weren't many, but after a counterattack I realized they're everywhere.

If I had been a second slower earlier, trying to leave would have been difficult.

Being entangled by a World-Class Boss of that caliber, the teleportation scroll would most likely fail.

If a fight actually broke out, it's not that I couldn't win, but it would certainly cost a heavy price.

For now, the priority is to deal with the Burial Thunder Canyon issue, after which there will be no worries.

Then we can have a proper battle, even if the sky darkens and the earth trembles.

If we truly can't win, we can teleport directly to the Abyss.

He took out the map and checked the direction.

Compared to earlier, the distance to Burial Thunder Canyon is a bit farther.

He adjusted the direction and rushed over again.

This time, Jiang Chen lowered his altitude and focused his Spirit more, to avoid encountering Wind Flowers again.

This time went much smoother; after flying for half an hour and covering over a thousand kilometers, he didn't encounter any Wind Flowers again.

He did run into many Thunder Trees, but they were small patches, short‑lived, and had been struck by lightning only a few times, at most qualifying as Platinum Tier material.

Jiang Chen didn't waste time on it; he went straight across without stopping.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived before a Canyon.

Above the Canyon, gale winds howled, and a visible vortex spun in the air.

Inside the Canyon the gale persisted, countless huge stones were lifted and danced in the sky.

"According to the map, this is the Whirlwind Canyon."

"On both sides of the Whirlwind Canyon lie the more dangerous Thunder Pools; if we detour completely, it would add over 5,000 kilometers of travel."

"It would not only waste time but also bring other dangers; comparatively, cutting through the Whirlwind Canyon is the safest choice."

Jiang Chen split

analyzing the situation before him.

Looking toward both sides of the Canyon, faint Lightning illuminated the sky.

This is the Thunder Pool shown on the map.

The Thunder Pool resembles a crescent moon, and the Whirlwind Canyon is the sword that pierces this crescent.

Moreover, the map clearly states that the Thunder Pool contains a World BOSS, up to level 85, and there are two of them.

Defeating one will draw out the other.

After weighing his options, Jiang Chen decided to still cut through the Whirlwind Canyon.

He donned a layer of Bone Armor, Lightning Nether Spirit Wings quivered slightly, and he surged forward.

Just as Jiang Chen entered the Whirlwind Canyon.

Somewhere on the Wind and Thunder Continent, a Space-time Portal appeared.

A horde of Demon rushed out.

Shadai sensed briefly, pointed toward the Whirlwind Canyon, and said, "Sensed him, he's there."
