438. Chapter 438: Did I Cause Trouble?

"That's simple. Isn't Lv Luo a spiritual plant transformed into human form? Finding some flowers should be very easy."

Luo Shen began to smile; knowing where the problem lay, their mood became exceptionally relaxed.

Named, Lv Luo nodded subconsciously. As the saying goes, every trade has its master; when it came to plants, they had certainly found the right person.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lv Luo took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably nervous.

She closed her eyes, carefully sensing the direction of the plant. After a few moments, Lv Luo opened her eyes immediately, her eyes bright and filled with a hint of excitement.

"I found it, it's right this way."

The direction her finger pointed was exactly to the left of the fork.

The group immediately cast their gaze that way. It was possible that this was the true path, but because of the floral scent, the compass had been affected, leading to their previous hesitation.

Thinking of this, the group instantly saw the clouds part and walked toward the direction Lv Luo pointed.

After passing this fork, the trees suddenly became visibly sparse, and sunlight shone in through the gaps in the trees, where some lush green grass could be faintly seen hanging.

This path had clearly been abandoned for a long time; walking further, it was almost impossible to tell it was a path, and one could only barely infer how to walk based on the structure of the trees.

"Do you all feel that this place is very strange?"

Lv Luo couldn't help but shiver, rubbing her own cold arms, and said tentatively.

Although this direction was one she had sensed herself, the further they walked, the stranger it felt.

Ziwei Xianzi also noticed something wrong.

"The environment just now was extremely chaotic and disorganized, as a mountain forest should be, but ever since we stepped onto this path, the trees on the sides have been very neat, as if they were deliberately making way for this path."

Ziwei Xianzi said firmly, her gaze carrying a hint of depth.

"That's right, it's as if these trees are leading the way, deliberately guiding us to keep walking forward."

Youji Nuhuang nodded and immediately reached a conclusion.

This was not a good outcome.

One had to know, they had spent so much effort just now to find that the reason they couldn't continue forward was because they had been misled by plants.

Yet after arriving here, it was as if something was pushing them to walk, even using trees to provide them with guidance.

If it really hoped for them to move forward, then why go to such great lengths to use plants to confuse their vision before?

It couldn't be that it was setting a challenge for them, and seeing that they had chosen the correct path, it was rewarding them, lowering the difficulty, and guiding them in the right direction.

Just thinking about it made them feel uneasy.

"Lv Luo, where is the plant you sensed?"

Su Chen turned his gaze toward Lv Luo.

Even though they were on the Donghua Continent, ever since they arrived here, they felt it was increasingly strange, as if the development of events was already out of control, making them more and more alarmed.

Lv Luo also felt uneasy inside. Although she was a tree spirit, she was actually very afraid of those ghostly things. The current situation felt as if there really were a ghost manipulating everything in the dark.

Fortunately, the distance to what she sensed was not far.

"It's right over there."

Lv Luo pointed to a spot not far away and said, it was just a few meters away.

The group immediately walked over.

But as soon as they arrived, they discovered something wrong.

Because another fork appeared in front of them. And that plant they had searched for so long was right in the center of the fork, as if it were waiting for them, even shaking its leaves.

A rich floral scent instantly filled the air. This time, not only Xiaoxian, but the others also felt this intense fragrance; it was so thick that it was almost about to condense into substance, and the air even carried faint, mist-like particles.

The group stood in place in unison, their hearts filled with dread.

"What should we do now?"

Lv Luo looked at the others at a loss, subconsciously moving closer to Su Chen.

Su Chen's mind was also a mess right now, not knowing what to do.

That flower looked very beautiful, a four-petaled flower that looked like a peony about to bloom, with a brilliant gem in the very center, but looking closely, it wasn't; it was just the texture of the plant.

Looking at the shape and texture of the petals again, it wasn't what a normal peony would have.

Its stems and leaves were deep purple, while the petals were emerald green. Under the sunlight, they appeared exceptionally crystalline, shining like crystal.

Normal plants have green stems and leaves, while the petals are of various colors, a hundred flowers blooming; but now this flower seemed to be the opposite.

Even the knowledgeable Luo Shen did not recognize what this flower was for a moment.

For a time, no one acted rashly.

Luo Shen took out the compass; it was visible to the naked eye that the compass was spinning rapidly, as if it had completely lost its sense of direction.

"This is indeed the place affecting the compass."

Luo Shen concluded.

So they had found the source of the knot, but at this moment, no one dared to act rashly.

"Why bother with so much? It's just a flower anyway. This rich floral scent is simply going to annoy me to death."

Seeing the stalemate, Xiaoxian had completely lost patience. The floral scent here was extremely intense; even if she deliberately held her breath, the scent seemed to have a mind of its own, constantly drilling into her nostrils.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxian made a prompt decision and sprayed a mouthful of Dragon Flame Fierce Fire directly at the flower.

"Don't..."

Luo Shen subconsciously wanted to stop Xiaoxian; after all, such a special flower might cause big trouble if one wasn't careful.

But before the words were finished, it was obviously too late. Xiaoxian had directly ignited the flower, and that flower, brilliant as a gem, turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong?"

After finishing everything, Xiaoxian felt a bit better and looked at Luo Shen in high spirits.

But seeing the gazes of the others, Xiaoxian finally realized something was wrong.

"Did I... cause trouble?"

She asked cautiously, looking for all the world like a child who had done something wrong, shrinking her neck like a little quail, yet her eyes were large and watery, carrying a hint of trying to curry favor.

Even if the others had been angry, most of it dissipated at this moment.

"It's fine, we were just afraid that if you acted rashly, you might be threatened, but looking at it now, nothing happened."

Luo Shen smiled helplessly and said.

Although Xiaoxian looked like a grown woman on the outside, she hadn't been born for very long, her mentality was like a child's, and she lacked consideration for many things, so it was actually normal for her to do such impulsive things.

"Then..."

Xiaoxian was instantly happy, but before she could finish her sentence, the ground suddenly began to shake with a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sound. (End of chapter)
