Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 273 - 168: Undead Tree, Abundant Harvest, Schemes of Three Clans
Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu’s target was Rainbow Cloud Valley, so they did not stop along the way. Whenever they encountered demon beasts, they would avoid them if possible. If there were cultivators fighting, they would take a detour.
After ten days.
A canyon resembling a cloud at the horizon appeared in sight.
The red Ling flowers covering the surrounding mountains made Rainbow Cloud Valley even more vibrant.
Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu spent several days circling around Rainbow Cloud Valley, surveying the area. They ultimately chose to set up an ambush array at the exit of the back mountain of Rainbow Orchid Valley.
Firstly, this place was relatively secluded.
Secondly, it was the closest point to Rainbow Cloud Valley, allowing the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly to lower its guard. More importantly, it was an ideal spot to quickly lure the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly here, ensuring Autumn Cicada’s safety as bait.
The scene at the back mountain of Rainbow Cloud Valley was filled with shrubs.
Shangguan Hongyu happened to have a set of Shrub Array, which was perfectly suitable.
Seeing the other busy setting up the array, Fu Changsheng spoke:
"Miss Hongyu, I’ll go to the edge of Rainbow Cloud Valley to check the situation inside."
"Alright, but make sure to be careful."
"Okay."
Fu Changsheng cast an Invisibility Technique, and with the Spirit Light surging at his feet in the Cloud-Stepping Boots, he quickly reached the edge of Rainbow Cloud Valley, where he saw the entire canyon shrouded in clouds and mist, completely obscured from view and undetectable to the naked eye.
Thankfully, his Divine Sense was strong enough.
Through the detection of his Divine Sense, the scene in front of him was somewhat surprising.
The entire canyon was actually filled with Two-Flower Demon Butterflies, these demonic beasts with butterfly forms had human-like faces and two fluffy flowers growing on their heads, frolicking around the Undead Tree.
The Undead Tree in the center of the valley blocked out the sky, standing tens of feet high, completely concealing the entire canyon, while two Three-Flower Demon Butterflies guarded its treetop.
Upon closer inspection.
Dozens of ripe Wraith Fruits were seen hanging from the Undead Tree.
The Two-Flower Demon Butterflies were drooling with desire, but none dared approach these Tier Two Middle-Grade Wraith Fruits.
After carefully observing for a while.
Fu Changsheng retreated quietly.
Returning to the original place, Shangguan Hongyu had already completed setting up the Shrub Array, with no trace visible to either the naked eye or Divine Sense.
Seeing Fu Changsheng return, Shangguan Hongyu nodded slightly:
"Changsheng, how’s the situation in the canyon?"
"It’s as you described, there are two Tier Two Mid-Stage Three-Flower Demon Butterflies, and the rest are Tier One in strength. There are still twenty-six Wraith Fruits on the tree, with ten preserving their integrity, while the Three-Flower Demon Butterflies have absorbed the essence from most of the remaining sixteen."
Even if they split evenly.
Each would have five, enough for him to advance to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hongyu patted her storage bag with her right hand, producing several Array Flags:
"Changsheng, you can have your ghost servant prepare, I’ll set up the Sound Screen Array with this set of array flags."
Saying that.
She waved her sleeve.
Flags fell one by one.
Accompanied by spellcasting.
With a buzzing sound, the Array Flag’s Spirit Light flashed slightly, then subsided.
Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand, and the Human Emperor Banner appeared in it. With a gentle wave, ghostly winds surged around, and Autumn Cicada in white flashed into view. On the road, Fu Changsheng had already mentioned the matter to Autumn Cicada and also let Autumn Cicada see the inside when they explored Rainbow Cloud Valley earlier.
Autumn Cicada saluted.
Without needing Fu Changsheng’s instructions, she immediately flashed, heading towards Rainbow Cloud Valley.
Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu hid within the array.
After half a cup of tea’s time.
From the direction of Rainbow Cloud Valley, sounds like hissing snakes arose.
Immediately.
Autumn Cicada emerged from the valley clutching a Wraith Fruit Tree Branch with a Wraith Fruit hanging from it.
Behind her.
Two Three-Flower Demon Butterflies roared angrily, chasing closely.
The distance rapidly closed.
One hundred yards.
Eighty yards.
Thirty yards.
Two yards.
In the next instant.
From the shrubs, radiant Spirit Light suddenly soared, and with a roar, the Shrub Array instantly activated, and the Sound Screen Array lit up right after.
Shangguan Hongyu cast a spell.
The two Three-Flower Demon Butterflies in the array were immediately separated by clumps of moving shrubs.
Delay leads to change!
Hidden within the array, Fu Changsheng immediately cast a technique on the Primordial Alms Bowl; with a buzz, a ray of extreme light shot rapidly towards one of the Three-Flower Demon Butterflies.
However.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The Three-Flower Demon Butterfly flapped its wings, and with a bang, identical Three-Flower Demon Butterflies appeared, each seemingly possessing Tier Two Mid-Stage strength, making it impossible to discern their true form for the moment.
Bang!
The extreme light pierced straight through one of the Three-Flower Demon Butterflies.
Specks of red light dissipated.
"Not a real body!"
Fu Changsheng slightly narrowed his eyes.
No wonder so many people avoid this Butterfly Valley, these Three-Flower Demon Butterflies are indeed exceedingly strange. In the current scenario, using the strongest blow with multiple targets clearly wasn’t practical:
"Just right to test the power of the Three-turn Jewel Lotus Lamp."
Fu Changsheng activated his mind.
A rush of green light surged.
The Three-turn Jewel Lotus Lamp inside his body instantly floated in front of him.
Accompanied by his spellcast into the Three-turn Jewel Lotus Lamp, with a boom, the lamp flame ignited a small fire, and with a pinch of his right hand, flicked with the index finger.
The fire, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment, embedded itself into the array.
As his incantation ended.
Boom!
The flame instantly transformed into blazing fire, morphing into a fiery net, plunging rapidly towards the Three-Flower Demon Butterflies below.
"Sizzle!"
One by one, the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly phantoms extinguished along with it.
The real body of the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly, huddled in a corner, immediately revealed itself.
