Chapter 863 458: You Have Time-Stopping Powers and This Is What You Wanna Do?
The group of people hid in the corner area, watching the Blood Flesh King Flower quietly stay put.
Don't be fooled by this thing's current inactivity; it's because they haven't entered the flower's feeding zone yet. If they do, a swarm of tentacles will instantly emerge from the ground.
"The elite monsters are all dead, so why hasn't the boss shown up yet? Are we killing too fast?" Lan Qiushui said while eating, gazing afar at the village entrance, hoping to see the Blood Flesh King Flower battle the boss.
"How would I know? I just plant flowers. Why don't you catch a rat? I can then heal it, and we can watch the big flower fight the small one." Gu Shanhai stroked Little White's head, plotting how to justifiably shave Little White into a Mediterranean style.
This guy has gnawed at his scalp several times, and now it's pushing back; Little White definitely needs some discipline.
Little White, chewing on grass, suddenly felt a chill in its heart, sensing that something might happen. Turning to look at Gu Shanhai, it was sure Gu Shanhai was up to something, otherwise, why would it deserve such treatment?
"Why are you staring at me? Just eat your grass." Gu Shanhai looked at Little White's wary eyes, admitting Little White's perception was sharp. He restrained his malice so well yet still got caught.
"Yo!" Little White indicated, "Did you forget about the animal partner talent?"
"Good point, next time I'll block it." Gu Shanhai realized this talent was rather inconspicuous and almost forgot it existed.
"Block what?" Base Station Old Liu asked curiously.
"Oh, I was thinking about changing my deer's hairstyle." Gu Shanhai said, patting Little White's head, "Like shaving it into a Mediterranean look."
"Yo?!" Little White expressed shock, "Behave like a human, will you?"
Lan Qiushui also felt puzzled, "Why would you give your mount a Mediterranean hairstyle?"
"It's not my fault; this rascal first tried to gnaw my hair into a Mediterranean style. I'm just returning the favor." Gu Shanhai, someone who never lets grudges go, wasn't worried about clashing personality settings. These can be trimmed; he could even add new settings temporarily, using them then deleting afterward.
In this way, his righteous hero persona wouldn't break.
"..." ×2
Lan Qiushui and Base Station Old Liu felt this person and deer pair definitely had issues, otherwise how would they concoct such absurd affairs?
"Can you two cause us less trouble?" Base Station Old Liu said, guiding them to squeeze farther back, mainly because the flower's feeding area expanded again. If they don't move, they'll soon face the boss, a boss without rewards.
"How am I causing trouble? If not for the boss's absence, we'd have finished the mission already." Gu Shanhai confidently shifted blame onto the enemy.
As long as the blame isn't on him, it can rest anywhere else.
"Yeah, why's the boss so inefficient? Could it have fallen into a latrine?" Lan Qiushui remarked; this doesn't fit their expectations; they planned for it to arrive with elite monsters, but those are eaten, and the boss still hasn't appeared.
"Be serious. Even if it fell into a latrine, it would've climbed out long ago unless nicknamed Feces Sea Mad Maggot, otherwise no way it's not done yet."
"I suspect it might be creating another Demon Race." Gu Shanhai speculated earnestly.
"If you hadn't nicknamed the enemy, I'd believe you more." Lan Qiushui felt among those present, none were more unreliable than Gu Shanhai.
"There's also a possibility; it previously created a Rat Demon as a scout, so with such caution, it certainly wouldn't come alone."
"Only, it likely didn't expect these Half-demons to fall so swiftly."
Base Station Old Liu agreed with Gu Shanhai's speculation, acknowledging the significant possibility.
"What do you think might be the other demon?" Gu Shanhai casually asked.
"Being this timid, I guess it's a cockroach demon!" Lan Qiushui said confidently.
"Follow logic, will you? If it's a cockroach demon, given its survival, you might not kill it faster than it regenerates blood." Gu Shanhai remarked.
"That's better than your Feces Sea Mad Maggot..." Lan Qiushui countered.
The two exchanged banter, causing Base Station Old Liu headache, feeling mismatched with these teammates.
Being the sole normal person amid two oddballs felt unsettling.
"Alright, considering cockroach demons and Feces Sea Mad Maggots later, let's focus on resolving current issues first." Base Station Old Liu mediated; the pair was nearly arguing.
Luckily, they didn't escalate further but thought about where to hide next, as the Blood Flesh King Flower expanded once more.
"Do you think we'll be doomed by your summoned creature before facing the boss?" Lan Qiushui asked.
By now, they were squeezed against the Air Wall, the whole Zhen Shi Village nearing takeover by the Blood Flesh King Flower.
"There's good and bad news; which do you want to hear first?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"Bad news, I doubt anything could be worse than this situation." Lan Qiushui shrugged off these concerns.
