Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 580 - 535 Vine Beauties
"Look, why is there a group of women running towards us? Are they refugees from the otherworldly realm?" Wang Rui pointed to the forest ahead and said.
The forest emitted a soft glow, which perfectly outlined the silhouettes of the approaching figures. Their graceful postures reminded Wang Rui and Wu Hen of the film academy near their home, where watching the shadows cast on the old walls by the setting sun at dusk was always a treat.
Wang Rui felt a surge of happiness and, adhering to his principle of helping when possible, he had already gone forward to greet these beautiful forest silhouettes…
"Awo! Awo!!"
The Mechanical Rock Iron Dog, however, growled lowly, continuously warning against these approaching beauties of the forest.
Wang Rui raised his foot in a kick, scolding the foolish family dog, "They are already exposed to the elements and frightened, why are you being fierce to them?"
The kicked Mechanical Rock Iron Dog whimpered and retreated to the back.
Wu Hen now fully projected his consciousness onto Yi Liang, who lacked strong perception, thus could only see the most superficial aspects of the otherworldly. He couldn't tell if the group of women coming from the forest were refugees or something else transformed.
As Wang Rui walked towards them, the soft light in the forest shifted slightly, and the true forms of the figures under the flowers and trees finally emerged.
Each figure's body outmatched supermodels, leaving one parched and breathless. Yet their bodies were composed of colorful vines, with heads that were flower buds exuding an enticing scent, and stamens like strands of hair extending from the pores of the buds, crystal clear and softly flowing.
At this moment, Wu Hen could also clearly see their forms, and he didn't know whether the vines had turned into human shapes or if human bodies were strangled by these special vines.
"Wang Rui, they are not human," Wu Hen said.
The gleam in Wang Rui's eyes intensified, as if he had grown tired of seeing beautiful women with fair skin and graceful figures, and was extremely interested in this life form that seemed to be a perfect combination of natural beauty and sexual allure. He wished he could capture them all and place them in the backyard of his newly purchased mansion, where he could wake up every morning to such a breathtaking view—wasn't this more stylish than those gaudy old money estates?
"I know, but since they appear in this form, it would be somewhat disrespectful not to show excitement," said Wang Rui.
Gao Yu Yan wanted to scold Wang Rui a few words, but didn't know where to start. If she called him vulgar, he didn't seem to be targeting women particularly; if she said he was indecent, yet he still was not freed from the realm of sexuality.
In the end, Gao Yu Yan's eyes fell on Wu Hen. No wonder Wu Hen had exuded an aura of peculiar tastes since his adolescence, it turned out that his usual friends were the likes of Wang Rui.
"You take your time to explore their structure, I'll watch this direction," Gao Yu Yan could no longer bear such interests, turning her head towards another direction.
Wu Hen then started to check the ground.
During the release of his super perception earlier, Wu Hen had already noticed those Cannibal Worms symbiotic with the Divine Mushrooms. These worms were strong and robust, their bodies tough like steel and iron. Normally, they probably did not feed on microorganisms in the soil but sought rare ores, making their bodies indestructible. Even the highest density soil and rock layers seemed like navigable seawater to them.
However, Wu Hen now didn't know where they were hiding.
The giant symbiotic mushroom must possess spiritual wisdom, presumably not wanting to lead in this competition for the Immortal Treasure, still observing the actions of other plant kings.
Wang Rui was fiercely battling the Vine Beauties, making quite a commotion.
Wu Hen did not pay much attention; these Vine Beauties were mostly low-intelligence species. They were not like the members of the Shark Clan that smelt blood in the ocean, but rather a group of small fish drawn by the excitement.
Enjoy this brief pleasure, Wang Rui. Your happy fighting time is limited. By the time the more terrifying Otherworldly Predators from thousands of miles away arrive, he will be crying for his father and mother, lamenting the wilderness and brutality of this otherworldly ecosystem.

"How's it over there?" Gao Yu Yan temporarily ignored Wang Rui, the little freak, and asked Wu Hen.
"It's pretty calm, but something is approaching from underground," said Wu Hen.
"The enemies beneath our feet are even more dangerous; the surface of this otherworldly realm is comparable to the wilderness deep sea. The crises we see above sea level are the least of our concerns," Gao Yu Yan commented.
"And over there?" Wu Hen inquired.
"It seems like a group of bloodthirsty predators that have smelled the Soul Nest Wood Seeds. They look more irritable than usual and are approaching our location," said Gao Yu Yan.
"Can you handle them?"
"Yes."
As they were talking, the ferocious beasts of the otherworldly realm who were affected by the neurotoxic properties of the Blood Pine Resin appeared. The first to approach, attempting to seize the Immortal Treasure, was a tree crab.
This tree crab, dominant in its own forest, moved sideways. Its thick roots, like crab legs, allowed it to move quickly through the soil and climb onto the surface.
Its huge pincer was extremely disgusting - a wolf king's upper half body was fitted onto a tree branch through secretions from the branch to control the wolf king's pincer.
On its right pincer, a malicious serpent was grafted; the serpent was not symbiotic, and its body had already decomposed into bones, but its fangs and strong skeleton served as the crab's pincer...
Gao Yu Yan had seen various otherworldly species before, but this vision of a tree crab using other predators' corpses as pincers still stirred a wave of nausea in her. Behind the tree crab were other animals' corpses, likely spare weapons for its pincers. However, the rotten smell emanating from the corpses drew countless Corpse Flies, forming a blood-gray robe around the moving tree crab, wrapping it in an eerie cloak of mystery and malevolence.
"Can we switch places?" Gao Yu Yan felt physically distressed; growing up revered and pampered, bathing in imported milk since childhood. After becoming a Spirit Awakener, she wasn't afraid of those strong and fierce otherworldly monsters, but she absolutely couldn't face these disgusting, stitched-together, deformed types.
Just like most female Spirit Awakeners did; they would see a huge Heavenly Python or colorful snake, scream excitedly and rush forward with their weapons, like a Female War God. But encountering a green snake as thick as a finger and half a meter long in dense grass could make them faint on the spot!
It's unclear which gene makes humans so contradictory.
"Alright, I'll take this opportunity to test my Flame Divine Power," Wu Hen nodded and switched places with Gao Yu Yan.
Honestly, even Wu Hen wasn't sure about the capabilities of his current smaller incarnation. Even now, amidst the hunting of various otherworldly champions, this small body was absorbing the Spiritual Factor of fire from this land.
