Chapter 266 Riddle Flower
Mo Ming crouched down and carefully examined the strange little flower. He reached out and gently touched one of the petals, discovering that it actually emitted a warm scent.
Let's test the parser!
"Hmm? It actually works!" Mo Ming was overjoyed and chuckled softly.
【Riddle Flower】
Description: Plucking a petal unlocks riddle mode. Answering the riddle correctly will reward you with a riddle flower.
He raised an eyebrow and said confidently, "Riddles? I'm good at that!"
Without hesitation, he reached out and plucked the single petal. The moment the petal left the stem in his hand, it transformed into a dazzling light, which swirled and coiled in the air before finally coalescing into a line of text.
"It can travel a thousand miles without feet, and speak ten thousand words without a mouth. What is this?"
Upon seeing the riddle, Mo Ming immediately began to ponder it. He frowned, crossed his arms, and muttered to himself: "Without feet, it can travel a thousand miles; without a mouth, it can convey ten thousand words..."
The answer should be..." Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Countdown begins, 60 seconds."
"Time limit?" Mo Ming paused for a second, then continued to ponder. His mind raced, searching for all possible answers, but time slipped away unnoticed.
"30 seconds."
"20 seconds."
"10 seconds."
As the countdown grew increasingly urgent, Mo Ming began to panic. Countless answers flashed through his mind, but something felt off. In the very last second, he suddenly slapped his forehead and blurted out, "It's... a letter!"
However, it's too late.
"time up."
The cold voice rang out again, and then the answer to the riddle appeared in the air—**"Letter"**.
Upon seeing this answer, Mo Ming immediately looked annoyed: "As expected, it's a letter! I clearly thought of it, but I was a step too late!"
However, before he could continue to feel frustrated, the voice in the air rang out again: "If you fail to answer the riddle correctly, the riddle flower will go mad."
"Go crazy?"
Mo Ming was slightly taken aback, then waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's just a small flower, how much can it go berserk? At most, it'll just turn into a slightly larger flower."
As soon as he finished speaking, the riddle flower in front of him suddenly trembled violently.
The tiny flower, originally no bigger than a palm, grew rapidly, its stem becoming incredibly thick, and its green vines spreading wildly in all directions like snakes. In a short time, the riddle flower had transformed into a monster almost as tall as Mo Ming!
This is a flower demon with a beast's face and a human body. The strange petal is still on its head, but its face has turned into a ferocious beast face with bloodshot eyes and sharp fangs in its mouth.
Its body was made of thick vines, its limbs were as flexible as plant branches, and its surface was covered with sharp thorns. What was even more surprising was its speed; it had already charged over before Mo Ming could even react.
The flower demon let out a low growl, and instantly countless sharp leaves shot out from its body, flying towards Mo Ming like blades.
"Holy crap, a Leaf Blade?"
Mo Ming immediately rolled away, dodging the first wave of attacks, but the leaves left deep scratches on the ground, clearly demonstrating their formidable power.
The flower demon roared again, its thick vines lashing out at Mo Ming like whips. Mo Ming dodged nimbly, but the flower demon's attacks grew increasingly dense, the vines almost forming a giant net that completely surrounded him.
"It's just a grass-type ferocious beast after all!"
Mo Ming sneered, gripping the Six Directions Seal with his left hand and raising his right, his spiritual energy rapidly condensing within him. A blazing flame appeared between his hands, quickly spreading outwards with his movement to form a dazzling ring of fire.
"Fire Dance, Blazing Ring of Fire!"
A ring of blazing flames erupted around Mo Ming's body, the flames displaying a dazzling orange-red hue, as if a giant dragon of fire were coiled around him.
The flames were interspersed with wisps of golden light, radiating a chillingly high temperature. As Mo Ming waved his hands, the ring of flames rapidly expanded, forming a massive vortex of fire.
Wherever the vortex of flames passed, the flower fairy's vines were instantly burned to ashes, and the flying leaf blades were also burned the moment they came into contact with the flames, turning into wisps of green smoke and dissipating into the air.
The flower fairy let out a shrill scream as its body rapidly withered under the flames. Its once thick vines became shriveled and eventually turned into a pile of ashes. The last petal was also consumed by the flames, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.
Mo Ming withdrew his hands, and the flames gradually died down. He stood there, dusted himself off, and a smug smile appeared on his lips: "Grass-type monsters really can't withstand fire. Going berserk? Don't they know who I am!"
Although he had dealt with the flower demon, Mo Ming still felt a bit curious about the riddle flower.
He glanced down at the ashes remaining on the ground. "Huh? What's this?"
In the ashes, an object the size of a coin was emitting a faint greenish glow. If it weren't for the ashes as a backdrop, it would be difficult to notice its existence on this green grassland.
When encountering unusual objects, Mo Ming habitually takes out the analyzer and begins to identify them.
[Riddle Flower Fairy Soul Card ?6?1 Wood: Deep Blue Level]
Description: When a monster dies in the exchange secret realm, there is a chance to condense a Soul Card, which contains part of the monster's attribute energy and soul power.
"Soul Card? That's a novel thing. It seems very similar to the inner core of a monster in a novel." Mo Ming's pupils widened slightly as he formed an idea.
He channeled his spiritual power into the Soul Card, but the Soul Card did not react at all.
"Can't it be absorbed?"
I tried many more times, but without exception, they all ended in failure.
"Never mind, I'll keep it for now!"
Mo Ming had just carefully put the soul card in his hand into his spatial ring when a loud shout suddenly rang in his ears: "Hey!"
The sudden and jarring sound made Mo Ming frown.
He looked up and saw a figure appear about ten meters ahead.
It was slowly approaching him. As the man drew closer, Mo Ming could see his appearance clearly.
The man was dressed in simple, close-fitting clothes. He was a middle-aged man with a rugged face and a shrewd look in his brows, but to Mo Ming, it seemed like he had ill intentions.
Mo Ming didn't intend to pay any attention, ignoring the man's gaze and shouts, and turned to leave.
However, after taking only a few steps, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. The man suddenly accelerated, circled around to the side, and blocked Mo Ming's path.
Mo Ming slightly raised his eyelids, looking impatiently at the person blocking his way, and asked, "What is it?"
The man grinned, but the smile wasn't genuine; instead, it carried a hint of probing. He pointed at Mo Ming: "Tell me, what was that thing you just picked up?"
