Chapter 1120: Flower of Wailing

Su Xiao's gaze stared at Maha for a few seconds. At this point, whether what the other party said was true or false was no longer important.

Before entering Kukuroo Mountain, Su Xiao knew there might be no way back. The reward for the first ring of the hidden mission was very high; having no way back was a matter of course.

Wanting to obtain large benefits while not taking any risks was simply impossible.

"According to the information you provided, is there only one path forward now? If we retreat, even if we are lucky, we have to wait a week?"

Su Xiao sheathed Zhan Long Shan and looked toward the dozens of holes in front.

"That's right. Having reached here, there is basically no way back."

Maha took a wooden box out of the large backpack on his back and threw the wooden box directly to Su Xiao.

"This is what you deserve."

Su Xiao took the wooden box and opened it; inside were four Soul Crystals (Large). After confirming there were no errors, he put the wooden box away.

"We continue forward. To reach the center, we must at least pass through the territories of two other strange plants. Continuing forward, we will encounter the Flower of Wailing. The Flower of Wailing is a very ferocious predatory plant; we can only force our way through."

Maha walked to those dozens of holes and began to check the traces on the edge of each hole.

"Here."

Maha soon selected an oval hole four meters high and two meters wide and was the first to crawl in.

"Byakuya, I will deal with the Flower of Wailing that might appear. When I am exhausted, you help me hold it off. I cannot die yet; at least I cannot die now."

Maha's act of taking the lead significantly reduced the possibility of him being an old schemer—or rather, Maha didn't dare to be an old schemer at all. Killua and Alluka were both in the squad; once the situation got out of control, these two would be the first to die in the dangerous Kukuroo Mountain.

"This terrain is not very suitable for me to fight."

"Hmm, so you maintain your stamina as much as possible. Even if I am seriously injured, you don't need to pay attention to it, as long as I can reach the center alive. My weaknesses are my head and the upper half of my torso. As long as these two places are not severely damaged, I won't die within a few days."

In this not-so-spacious hole, Maha was facing away from Su Xiao. If Su Xiao attacked at this time, Maha's survival rate would not exceed 30%.

The squad slowly ventured deep into this hole leading to an unknown direction. The further they went, the darker the light in front became.

Su Xiao took out two military glow sticks, snapped them to light them, and threw one to Maha. Both of them hung the glow sticks at their waists, and the blue fluorescent light illuminated the surroundings.

*Smack, smack... *

Chewing sounds came from the front. Su Xiao pulled off the military glow stick at his waist and threw it toward the front.

Following the flight of the glow stick, the front was gradually illuminated by the blue fluorescent light. A "person" was sitting in front, facing away from Su Xiao and the others, with their head lowered, eating something.

With a *pat*, the glow stick landed. The body of that "person" paused, and they turned their head to look at the glow stick beside them.

Under the illumination of the blue fluorescent light, Su Xiao and the others saw clearly that the thing not far away was not a human at all, but a humanoid plant. It was like a giant rafflesia that had been pulled up by the roots; the roots were its lower limbs, the branches were its torso, and the blooming flower bud was its head. This should be the Flower of Wailing.

"Woo?"

The Flower of Wailing turned its head to look at Su Xiao and the others. Although it had no eyes, Su Xiao felt that this thing was looking at him.

"Wah!!"

A piercing scream came, accompanied by waves of sound. The surrounding stone walls were instantly covered with fine cracks.

There was a buzzing sound in Su Xiao's ears. If he was like this, it went without saying for Killua and the others.

"Awoo~"

A miserable scream came; it was Bubu Wang. Its hearing was the most sensitive, so it suffered more damage.

The sound waves continued to strike. That Flower of Wailing tilted its head back and used all its strength to emit an unpleasant wailing sound.

Maha was also shaken until he was dizzy, but his hands were covering Alluka's ears. In Maha's view, Nanika inside Alluka was the freak, while Alluka was his, Maha's, descendant.

Although protected by Maha, Alluka also fainted directly.

"Ah!"

Killua held both ears. Blue veins bulged on that fair little face, and bloodshot eyes emerged.

Noticing this scene, Su Xiao grabbed Killua's nape and threw Killua toward Amu.

Amu grabbed Killua with one hand, and those two large hands pressed on both sides of Killua's head. Killua's body soon went limp, and he fainted.

Bang!

A dull gunshot sound appeared, and the wailing sound stopped.

Su Xiao held a sniper cannon more than two meters long. This was not the newly acquired 【Duke of Silence】; the bullets for 【Duke of Silence】 were too expensive, so he was currently using the Spider Queen.

The power of the Spider Queen actually hadn't reached the level where it needed to be eliminated, and more importantly, its bullets were relatively cheap.

With one shot, the upper body of the Flower of Wailing was directly shattered.

"This is the Flower of Wailing?"

The buzzing in Su Xiao's ears gradually disappeared.

"Ah?"

Old Master Maha looked at Su Xiao in confusion.

"Speak louder."

This old master was already old, and after being shaken like this, his hearing had severely declined in a short period of time.

"Nothing."

"What, not dead? That thing is already dead."

"Nothing!"

"Ah?"

"..."

Ten-plus seconds later, Old Master Maha's hearing returned to normal. This old man was usually serious and old-fashioned, but just now, the old man's serious image collapsed with a crash.

"The body of the Flower of Wailing is relatively fragile, but that kind of shouting is very troublesome; it will attract a large number of Flowers of Waili..."

Before Maha finished speaking, the entire cavern began to shake.

*Boom, boom, boom... *

In the darkness ahead, dense and rapid running sounds came. 5 seconds later, countless Flowers of Wailing surged over.

That's right, they surged over. These Flowers of Wailing squeezed into a mass, occasionally trampling their own kind to death. Those Flowers of Wailing that had just been trampled to pieces would be devoured by other Flowers of Wailing behind them.

"They're here again."

Old Master Maha roared while covering Alluka's ears.

"Wah!!"

Countless Flowers of Wailing began to shout, and visible layers of sound waves surged toward Su Xiao and the others.

Su Xiao's palm stretched forward horizontally, and an energy shield with 400 points of intensity appeared in front. The size of this energy shield exceeded the diameter of the hole, so it pierced directly into the stone wall.

*Buzz, buzz... *

The entire energy shield began to vibrate, and fine cracks appeared rapidly.

Old Master Maha clearly hadn't expected Su Xiao to have such a trick. Having traveled all the way here, Maha was increasingly satisfied with the cooperation between the two sides.

"20 seconds."

"Enough."

Black Nen surged out from Maha. A Nen energy ball gradually appeared on his hand, wrapping his fist.

Maha threw Alluka in his arms toward Su Xiao.

"Take care of him for me for a while. You don't need to attack; I will deal with this quantity of Flowers of Wailing."

With a *crack*, the energy shield was forcibly shattered by the sound waves. Maha's body arched, forcibly charging forward against the sound waves.

Just as Maha charged forward, Su Xiao immediately generated a second energy shield with 200 points of intensity in front of him.

Maha, who had charged into the sound waves, had bulging eyeballs, and two streams of fresh blood sprayed out from his ear canals. His face was even trembling with the frequency of the sound waves.

Boom!

A roaring sound came from the front, and the damage speed of the energy shield in front of Su Xiao decreased. Ten-plus seconds later, the sound waves disappeared.

Maha was also fighting with a large group of Flowers of Wailing. This thing could not only emit high-intensity sound waves, but its speed and bite force were also extremely terrifying.
