Chapter 30: The Art of Pulling (Please Continue)

This is the strongest extraordinary plant Chen Mo has ever seen so far! And the Ice Emperor Flower's full strength is forged from the countless corpses and bones surrounding it!

But Chen Mo is not the least bit nervous.

The Ice Emperor Flower's most terrifying ability is its illusion fragrance, which can unknowingly lure other creatures into deadly traps! Now Chen Mo has already seen through it.

Moreover, the Ice Emperor Flower, being an extraordinary plant, has the inherent disadvantage of limited mobility.

Chen Mo pretends to be poisoned by the flower and slowly approaches the Ice Emperor Flower.

When he gets within ten meters—

The Ice Emperor Flower's stamen, like a tentacle, lunges at Chen Mo with claws outstretched.

The next second.

"Roar!!"

A deafening lion's roar suddenly erupts.

The lion's roar creates a vacuum zone within a radius of over ten meters, and the powerful sound waves surge outward like raging tides.

Under the sweeping sound waves, the Ice Emperor Flower's newly extended stamen trembles violently.

It shivers in fright, like a snail sprinkled with salt, and quickly retracts its "tentacle."

But soon, the Ice Emperor Flower recovers, and hundreds of stamens, bearing the sound waves, lash at Chen Mo like iron whips!

【Ice Whip】

Chen Mo instantly activates his Rampage mode and dashes beyond thirty meters.

Snap! Snap! The stamens strike the snow, kicking up flurries of snow.

Chen Mo watches silently, wanting to gauge the maximum reach of these stamen attacks.

He finds that it seems to be under ten meters.

"So short..."

So Chen Mo steps a bit closer, channels the spiritual energy within his Ice Pill, and unleashes an Ice Storm centered on the Ice Emperor Flower's flower ball.

The raging wind, bearing ice blades, sweeps toward the stamens and the main body of the Ice Emperor Flower.

The ice blades clash with the stamens, producing a crisp clanging sound.

Chen Mo originally thought the Ice Storm's ice blades could sever all the stamens at the roots, but under the drive of ice spiritual energy, the once‑soft stamens hardened like iron, and the ice blades only carved small nicks.

Sensing danger, the Ice Emperor Flower retracts all stamens to its center, then swiftly folds its fiery red petals into a sphere.

The Ice Storm's ice blades strike the massive petal without causing any damage! Seeing this, Chen Mo is unhurried.

Such immobile plant‑type extraordinary beings are actually the easiest to deal with.

Just pull and strike.

He slowly approaches the Ice Emperor Flower, and roars at the contracted plant once more.

Roar!!! The powerful sound‑wave attack pierces the leaves, startling the Ice Emperor Flower again.

The next second, the Ice Emperor Flower becomes wildly ferocious, its stamens turning into ice whips that lash at Chen Mo like a storm.

Chen Mo steps back a few paces, landing exactly at the stamens' maximum attack range.

Snap! Snap! Snap! The crisp striking sounds continue incessantly.

Yet the damage inflicted is… zero.

Realizing his attacks cannot affect the Lion King, the Ice Emperor Flower retracts its stamens again.

Maintaining the ice‑whip state consumes ice spiritual energy every second.

"Interesting."

Chen Mo seems to have discovered something amusing.

The Ice Emperor Flower before him appears rather dim‑witted and also shares a trait similar to the Mimosa plant.

The Mimosa retracts at a touch, while the Ice Emperor Flower goes berserk at a roar.

When the Ice Emperor Flower pulls all its stamens back and curls up again, Chen Mo repeats the trick, runs to its front, and presses his face against the flower ball, opening it wide.

Anyway, its lion roar costs no ice energy, so it can roar as long as it wants.

Roar! Snap! Snap! Snap! Roar! Snap! Snap! Snap! The Ice Emperor Flower retracts its stamens, Chen Mo steps forward and roars, and when the stamens lash down like a sudden storm, he retreats to a safe distance.

Crazy pulling.

Amid Chen Mo's relentless lion roars, the Ice Emperor Flower's petals and stamens visibly wither.

In a direct steel‑hard confrontation, the Ice Emperor Flower wouldn't be his match, but it would likely get injured.

Chen Mo adheres to a steady cultivation path.

Naturally, if he can avoid injury, he will absolutely avoid it.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Mo notices the Ice Emperor Flower's real‑time combat power has dropped below eighty.

Most likely its internal ice spiritual energy has been exhausted.

In short—it's been drained.

When the stamens lash at it again, Chen Mo finds them not only soft but also lacking the ice spikes on their surface! He then pounces, frost glimmering between his claws, and slashes the stamens cleanly.

Ice Emperor Flower:??? It's getting used to this rhythm, and you just ride on its face!? The broken stamens bleed bright red; the Ice Emperor Flower winces, trying to retract them, but Chen Mo naturally gives it no chance, lunges to its front, and goes into a frenzy of wild grabs at the central stamen.

The Ice Emperor Flower's first instinct is to close its petals into a defensive stance, but the giant lion's speed is too fast! Before it can retract the stamens, Chen Mo has already pounced in front! Blood splatters!

Quickly, the Emperor Flower's petals sag limp, completely losing any sign of life.

Chen Mo glances at the Emperor Flower, and after noticing its attribute panel has vanished, he ceases his attack.

"Roar!" (Those who offend the lion herd must repay with blood!)

Chen Mo's gaze remains calm as he roars at the lion herd.

Now more extraordinary lions within the herd are awakening; their spiritual intelligence is budding, requiring guidance and a stronger sense of unity with the herd.

"Roar!" (Those who offend the lion pride shall pay with blood!)

……

Soon, the lions let out roar after roar, continuous and unending, repeating constantly.

Among them, the most enthusiastic shouter was the Frost Lion Overlord.

After boosting morale, Chen Mo began silently consuming the stems, leaves, and stamens of the Ice Emperor King Flower.

Although it is a plant, this Ice Emperor King Flower is nevertheless a mid-tier extraordinary creature, and the spiritual power it contains is still quite considerable.

With each bite, a large amount of red 'blood' gushed out.

Fresh and juicy.

The taste of this Ice Emperor King Flower exceeded expectations; eating it was hardly different from the freshest blood food.

More importantly—as the Ice Emperor King Flower's blood entered his stomach, Chen Mo once again felt his muscles, bones, and the like gradually growing stronger.

After finishing the feast, Chen Mo discovered that his strength and physique each increased by 1 point, and his spirit soul increased by 5 points! Indeed, you reap what you sow.

Within the Ice Elixir, ice spiritual power increased by 89 points, of which the monster core of the Ice Emperor King Flower alone provided 62 points.

This is already a very good harvest.

Squeak!

Seeing Chen Mo finish the Ice Emperor King Flower, the Ice Crystal Mouse darted to the spot where the flower had died, just as before, and its tiny paws began digging down incessantly.

Could it be that...

Seeing this scene, Chen Mo instantly formed a certain speculation in his heart.

Do these plant-type extraordinary beings always burst out seeds when they don't die?!

Sure enough, the Ice Crystal Mouse unearthed a seed like a firework from the soil the next second.

【Ice Emperor King Flower Seed】

【Slowly absorbing ice spiritual power, it will bloom again in about 1056 days.】

【If irrigated with ice spiritual power, growth speed can be accelerated.】

Unfortunately, the growth cycle of this Ice Emperor King Flower seed is too long; by the time it blooms and bears fruit again, Chen Mo estimates he will no longer be interested in it.

Squeak!

The Ice Crystal Mouse presented this fiery-red seed like a treasure to Chen Mo, then crossed its paws.

Looking as if to say, "Aren't I mighty?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.

"Little White is really interesting."
