Qingfeng, Mo Ran, and Shirley, being close to each other, didn't have mounts.
However, Qingfeng enthusiastically explained the principles of light body technique exertion and energy circulation to the two girls, even demonstrating it in detail.
Fortunately, Qingfeng only taught the introductory steps of light body technique and methods of breathing and energy circulation.
These were simple matters, and those who often traveled long distances could grasp similar techniques on their own. Coupled with the high comprehension of the two girls, they quickly learned the ability.
The three of them sped across the ice field, and the journey of over a hundred kilometers was quickly completed.
Moreover, after such a long run, they were only slightly out of breath.
"This is Nuanyang City!"
Shirley said, looking at the electronic map.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Mo Ran jumped up excitedly upon seeing the city before her.
The entire city was completely different from the icy and snowy landscape outside.
Near the city, there were many tall trees covered with large, pale pink flowers. Fragrant breezes wafted through, refreshing the senses.
Beyond the pink dense forest was a waist-high field of grass, a deep green, swaying gracefully in the wind.
Occasionally, butterflies the size of small airplanes would leisurely fly over the grass, their vibrant wings leaving behind a colorful trail.
Nuanyang City, not far away, also seemed to break free from the monotonous colors of the ice field, suddenly becoming vibrant and colorful.
The entire city was enveloped by a warm current surging from underground, making its temperature incongruous with the surrounding ice field environment.
From a distance, the entire city was filled with various strange flowers and plants, as if spring had uniquely descended upon it.
"This is Nuanyang City? It's truly as its name suggests!"
Qingfeng remarked.
"Indeed. If it's safe here, we could completely migrate the giant spiders here. Using such a city as a base camp would allow us to avoid monsters and enjoy warmth. It's simply too good!"
Shirley said, her eyes shining.
Like Mo Ran, she couldn't resist the allure of this colorful, fairytale-like city.
"Yes, but we can't be blindly optimistic. The more beautiful and attractive the plants, the more often they hide deadly dangers. Let's be careful!"
Qingfeng warned.
The three of them crossed the tall grass, inhaling the faint floral fragrance in the air, and walked slowly towards the city.
Perhaps due to the cold climate outside, most of the buildings in the city remained relatively intact, with only some vines, vegetation, and giant flowers as tall as streetlights occupying the space.
"Let's find a detailed map of this city as soon as possible, then look for the museum. Completing the mission is the most important thing. The flowers here are strangely large; it's best not to touch them casually!"
As soon as Qingfeng finished speaking, he heard a *chomp*!
He turned his head and saw the petals of a blood-red flower closing with effort, revealing rows of hook-like barbs at the seams!
In the center of the flower, Mo Ran's upper body was almost completely swallowed, with only her slender legs clad in black silk struggling outside.
"Mo Ran!"
Shirley's face turned pale with fright!
This was her first time undertaking a mission independently. Before the mission was even completed, the master's daughter was eaten. How could this be tolerated?
However, before Qingfeng and Shirley could react.
They heard bursts of giggles coming from within the flower petals.
Immediately after, the petals of the large flower were forcefully pulled open from the outside, and Mo Ran floated out lightly.
Under the sunlight, one could faintly see that each petal was wrapped with a tough strand of spider silk, the other end of which was attached to the branches of a giant tree.
It turned out that Mo Ran had intentionally allowed herself to be eaten by the man-eating flower, and she had made thorough preparations before being swallowed.
She held a ball of sticky golden liquid in her hand and said with a smile:
"Oh my, this nectar is really delicious. Don't you want to try it too?"
"Don't eat random things; this stuff is likely poisonous!" Qingfeng warned again.
"Yes, this stuff is poisonous, but it's very delicious!"
Mo Ran said as she ate heartily.
A few drops of nectar dripped onto the leaves of the grass. Instantly, the entire clump of grass withered. At the same time, the surrounding wild grass slowly withered and perished, eventually turning into a handful of dry yellow.
"This... the poison is so potent!"
Seeing the lethality of the poison, Qingfeng couldn't help but gasp.
"Poisonous? That's great, let me try it!"
Shirley's eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing the word "poisonous." She also leaned over, extending her finger to scoop some nectar and taste it.
"Hmm, this nectar tastes really good, with a floral fragrance. And this poison is also good; it can consume life force!"
Shirley commented while tasting, and then began eating with Mo Ran.
"Poisonous... and you're both eating it so happily?"
Qingfeng's worldview felt a bit chaotic.
He feared poison the most. Although his body had a certain resistance to toxins, the poisons in the apocalypse were far more ferocious than his resistance.
Qingfeng feared no frontal confrontation, but he was afraid of being ambushed by an expert using poison.
The worst time he had was due to poisoning. Although he still managed to wipe out the entire Japanese encampment, he also had to rest for several days for his body to recover.
What kind of people are these surrounding Zhang Chen...
As they walked, Mo Ran and Shirley specifically picked and ate nectar from the man-eating flowers. Along the way, dozens of man-eating flowers were ravaged.
If these man-eating flowers could move, they would have probably fled in terror upon seeing Mo Ran and Shirley from afar.
"There are many poisonous creatures here. Not only do they consume life force, but there are also hallucinogenic, paralyzing, neurotoxic, and blinding poisons..."
Shirley would state the effect of a poison for each type of nectar she tasted.
Mo Ran listened attentively from the side, then ate the nectar heartily.
After entering the city for less than three kilometers, the two girls' stomachs were already bulging, looking completely satisfied.
Qingfeng, on the other hand, had a grim expression, following cautiously behind the two.
Turning a corner, they suddenly saw a travel agency sign not far away.
"The travel agency must have a city map. Let's go take a look!"
Qingfeng cautiously pressed himself against the wall, closed his eyes, and sensed the movement within the shop.
After a while, he nodded at Shirley and Mo Ran.
The three then rushed into the shop.
There was no one here anymore. The paper maps were covered in mushrooms, and the entire room was filled with the smell of spores, which was very pungent.
Qingfeng rummaged through the room for a while and soon found a laminated map, which was integrated into the electronic map.
"There are museums in both the south and west of the city. Let's investigate them one by one!"
As soon as Qingfeng finished speaking, he suddenly heard a cry for help from outside.
A scantily clad girl ran while shouting for help. kanδん
Behind the girl, a large, colorful spider the size of a small car was in pursuit.
