Good items had a huge attraction, and others had clearly also been attracted by the flower’s abundant spirit power.
And, looking at those people, they were in a noticeably better position than Jiang Chen- right below the flower. He, on the other hand, was watching from across the great divide, and couldn’t do anything unless he grew wings and flew.
“What a pity that someone’s beaten me to the draw.” Jiang Chen was sighing when his expression suddenly froze, and an uneasy feeling surged to the fore.
Two balls of flame flew out at this time on the mountain face. Upon closer inspection, they were actually two fire ravens, shooting towards the two climbers like two red streaks of lightning.
The fire ravens opened their mouth and sent a gout of flame forth, which transformed into a cloud of fire and spewed towards the two.
The two on the wall didn’t even have time to react before they were struck by the flames. When the flames hit them, it was like a hot fire touching kindling as they immediately started burning up.
“Ah!!! AH!!!!”
Ghastly screams rang out through the entire valley, echoing amongst themselves.
Two burnt corpses disengaged from the mountain wall in the next moment, landing with two dull thuds.
No other sounds could be heard from them.
Jiang Chen had watched the rapid action with unblinking eyes, and had only come back to himself when the two fell into the valley.
“Right, the spirit lifeforms beneath the heavens will not exist by themselves on a mountain wall. It’s said that nothing is solitary, and everything is connected. This wondrous flower must have its own protectors, and it might be the companion to another stronger lifeform, even.”
Jiang Chen looked at the noble and pure flower, feeling a few more traces of desire grow in his heart.
Even the Lotus within his body was stirred to action, obviously determined to obtain this flower.
