Chapter 217: Exploring the Witch Forest, Treasures Everywhere!_3
The group also heard the cries for help coming from within the petals.
"Spirit... Spirit Lord Daren, help, help…"
It was Rab's voice.
Isabell also spoke from inside, her tone trembling, "Ugh! What is this slime... so disgusting..."
Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh.
"Get them out of there."
Upon receiving Cao Xing's order, Assam and two Dragon Spear warriors charged straight ahead.
"Swish, swish!"
After a few slashes, the petals of those three Cannibal Flowers suffered multiple attacks.
Then, they spat out Rab and Isabell, as well as that Archer.
The three sat on the ground, looking quite shaken.
Their bodies were still covered in a sticky purple liquid...
Especially Isabell, who was originally dressed in a plain white Mage Robe.
Now, as the robe was soaked, it accentuated her graceful figure.
Her delicate skin, snow-white silhouette, and that curvaceous waist.
Plus, the contrast between her slime-covered appearance and that of a holy Light Priest was stark.
Cao Xing's gaze landed on her, noticing her truly slender waist.
Could such a slim waist support such a large figure on her upper body?
Isabell also noticed Cao Xing's gaze and her soaked clothes.
This usually stoic Light Priest suddenly blushed.
Beside her, Hilda didn't forget to taunt, "Church Court woman, fix your clothes, don't seduce the Lord here!"
All the combat personnel focused on their battles; upon hearing this, they dared not turn around, pretending not to hear.
After all, it was a conflict between two powerful women; no one dared to interfere!
Isabell lightly bit her lower lip, giving Hilda a resentful look before standing up.
At that moment, she raised her magic wand, a strong current of Holy Light poured forth, washing off the slime from her body.
Isabell bathed in the Holy Light.
Moments later, her stunning face became absolutely pure again.
She reverted to the pristine, sacred Light Priest.
Meanwhile, Rab and the Archer also cleaned themselves up.
Rab exclaimed, "By the Beast God, I nearly got swallowed by those Cannibal Flowers!"
Cao Xing then reminded, "Be careful, don't get caught by the tendrils of the Cannibal Flowers."
"If you don't want to be covered in saliva..."
Rab gathered himself and then charged forward again, weapon in hand.
Isabell seemed a bit angry; she raised her magic wand, and waves of terrifying Holy Light Power surged forth.
The petals of the Cannibal Flowers shrank and gathered repeatedly under the onslaught.
In no time, the group handled these Cannibal Flowers.
Boom!
A huge Holy Light Ball came crashing down.

…
When the last Cannibal Flower was killed, the ground was strewn with materials and the massive corpses of the Cannibal Flowers.
Cao Xing then, as usual, went over to disassemble everything and collect it all.

[Obtained...]
…
Another wave of harvesting.
Among them were four Intermediate Power Hearts, several Recruitment Scrolls, two corrupted Elite Souls, and more than three thousand poison stingers.
"Not bad, not bad, four Intermediate Power Hearts, saving me 40,000 Ice Dragon Marks."
"Since entering the Witch Forest, I've obtained 13 Intermediate Power Hearts."
"At the price of the Giant Dragon Store, that would be 130,000 Ice Dragon Marks."
Cao Xing marveled, "Indeed, the higher-level areas are just great!"
"If I could wipe out all the monsters in this forest, maybe I could resolve the Power Hearts for my over two hundred warriors in one go."
Cao Xing thought pleasantly.
Of course, to eliminate all the forest's monsters, enormous strength was needed, as well as extensive exploration time.
One or two days wouldn't suffice.
As for those Recruitment Scrolls, Cao Xing didn't summon them.
Their current numbers were already substantial.
Too many people in such a jungle terrain would make commanding difficult.
Thus, Cao Xing packed everything into his backpack.
Then, he led everyone deeper in.
…
Five minutes later.
This time, they stopped next to a giant tree over two hundred meters tall.
What caught Cao Xing's attention was the cluster of red fruits atop the tree crown.
Clearly, in a forest where the overall tone was so pale, these red fruits stood out strikingly.
Cao Xing turned his head and asked, "Does anyone know what these fruits are?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Even Andrew, who knew a thing or two about plants, was unsure.
"Lord, this might be a unique tree of the Witch Forest."
"But for it to grow this tall, it must have some years on it."
Cao Xing nodded, then internally sighed, "If only my botany encyclopedia, Juliette, were with me, she'd know the names of these fruits for sure."
However, even though no one knew the names of these fruits.
He was a Survivor, with the system's built-in Panel Function.
As long as he got closer, Cao Xing could see their attributes.
With this in mind, he directly instructed, "Da Bai, take me to that big tree."
