Ivan also activated the concealed weapon on his wrist, responding swiftly. In that moment, a dark figure charged
towards them. Ivan swiftly flicked his hand, unleashing the hidden weapon from his wrist. He warned the others,
“Be careful!” He then instructed, “Take cover behind me and stay still!” Ivan vigilantly scanned the surroundings
with both eyes.
Without delay, they entered the lair of the remaining nine-headed bird, a supernatural entity from ancient
mythology. With its multiple heads, razor-sharp claws, and formidable wings, being lifted into the air by them would
be disastrous.
Suddenly, a few sounds reached their ears. Ivan swiftly turned around.
To his surprise, he witnessed Lilly wielding a pan, smashing one of the heads of the nine-headed bird.
“Ah!” Lilly held the pan, stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, “They dared to sneak up on us! Let’s fight back!”
“Shriek!”
A resounding echo resonated through the valley.
Ivan remained silent, his mind processing the situation. Meanwhile, Lilly continued wielding the pan, striking it with
determination.
Polly, filled with fear, sought refuge around Lilly’s neck, hiding its tiny body beneath the shelter of Lilly’s hair.
Observing the scene, a bird swooped down and cheekily shouted, “These birds are too big! Can’t stew them in a
pot! Need two barbecue grills—one for carbohydrates and one for spiciness!”
The nine-headed bird, battered and bewildered, muttered, “Damn, this is outrageous! Never in my wildest dreams
did I imagine being stiken down with a pan.”
The audacity of these birds!
The harem spirit, who had intersected with them, observed the power unleashed during the battle and was
momentarily taken aback by Lilly’s ferocity.
“Why are there so many nine-headed birds in a place without locust trees?” he questioned.
The cowardly ghost looked around and replied, “When nine-headed birds search for food, they often gather in
groups. They typically move in pairs, and when they rest, they assemble…”
A spark of realization ignited in Ivan’s eyes.
“Moreover, such a large number of ghost cars can only mean one thing—they originate from the same vast and
abundant locust wood…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRegardless of the circumstances, wherever a locust wood existed, hidden valleys and soul flowers were sure to be
found!
This time, the seemingly impossible goal of obtaining a soul flower was within reach!
Lilly couldn’t contain his excitement.
nine-headed birds equaled locust tree forest, which equaled the birthplace of soul flowers.
Every Nine-Headed bird seemed to possess a soul flower!
Unable to restrain their enthusiasm, they began counting, “One, two, three, five, eight…”
“Chirp!”
The ceaseless chirping of crickets filled the air, accompanied by Lilly’s excited exclamations.
“There are thirteen Nine-Headed Ghost Cars!” Lilly exclaimed. “Wow! We’re so lucky!”
Ivan, who was caught off guard, looked bewildered. “Thirteen Nine-Headed Ghost Cars? Luck? What did I miss?”
A group of Nine-Headed Ghost Cars had anticipated an easy meal, but instead, they were crushed by Lilly. They
stood no chance against her.
Holding a pan in her hand, Lilly not only intimidated them with the intention of devouring them but also looked at
them with eyes that seemed to suggest she could stew them.
They could not withstand it!
The Nine-Headed bird abandoned their resistance and took to the sky, flapping their wings in panic, emitting cries
of shock as they flew in the same direction.
Lilly skillfully hung the pan behind her hips and darted after them.
“Ivan, hurry up!” she urged Ivan.
“Aunt Lisa, let’s chase them!” Lilly yelled.
Lisa roared, “Roar!”
Together, the group sped through the wild terrain, nearly colliding with the apes of Ape Hill.
If they were given two ropes, they would surely swing on them.
All the ghosts remained silent.
Ivan, being pulled along by Lilly, followed passively.
“We’re too slow!” Lilly fretted. Merely chasing after them on foot was not enough!
Were they making fun of her because Lilly was slow?
But she had a solution—she had ghosts!
“Michael!” Lilly jumped and landed on the cowardly ghost’s back.
The cowardly ghost muttered, “Hang on tight, I’m gonna fly!”
The bridal ghost and the harem spirit interjected, “We adore a handsome and responsible man!”
“Do you have a conscience? He’s just a child! Let me take care of it!”
“Harem spirit, I think you should carry Aunt Lisa, I can’t carry such a heavy person.”
The cowardly ghost and other ghosts sighed in exasperation.
Meanwhile, the passionate spirit shook his head, shouldered the weight, and spoke gently, “You gotta hurry up, little
guy!”
As the words trailed off, Ivan’s figure seemed to be left behind in place.
The harem spirit and the bridal ghost exchanged puzzled glances.
The two ghosts pursued them with anger, demanding, “Put her down, allow me!”
The unlucky ghost was speechless, intending to carry Lisa while she dashed after Lilly.
Unexpectedly, Lisa ran even faster upon spotting him.
The unlucky ghost was silent.
Unable to bear it any longer, the rebel ghost muttered impatiently and scooped up Lisa, making a hasty escape.
They soon arrived at the locust forest.
Having seen it before, Lilly immediately recognized it from a distance, taking note of its vastness.
“Wow! This locust forest is huge!!”
It was comparable to, if not larger than, Phantom Forest in Gray Earth.
After all, being in the underworld, vastness was inherent to its nature. This expansive locust grove was perhaps just
a speck in the desolate land.
Drawing from past experiences, Lilly swiftly located the first hidden valley upon entering the locust forest.
The hidden valley before them appeared relatively small, situated closer to the forest’s outer edge.
The soul flower within was small, as if in the early stages of blooming.
“Shall we handle it the same way as before?” the cowardly ghost suggested. “Just take the entire hidden valley.”

Lilly nodded in agreement, “Yeah!”
With a swift motion, she snatched away the hidden valley!
Lilly did it so fast that the hidden valley did not have the chance to react.
The first hidden valley was stunned.
“Alright, onto the next one!” Lilly exclaimed joyfully, feeling like she was picking up treasures.
Moving up and down the locust forest, they could not determine the exact number of hidden valleys. Nevertheless,
Lilly quickly found the next one and, as soon as they encountered it, promptly seized the hidden valley.
The second hidden valley was taken aback.
As her speed increased, Lilly seemed to gain an ability, enabling hexo.com fast updater to sense where the
soul flower was.
Lilly found the hidden valleys one aft er another.
In the blink of an eye, she collected five of them.
Within the locust forest, birds and unknown creatures soared above.
Lilly was immersed in a certain state. At that moment, she felt as if a map had formed in her mind.
There were a total of 23 hidden valleys of different sized in the locust forest.
Among them, the soul flower in the five hidden valleys felt distinctly different—they were much stronger!
Lilly changed direction, intending to head towards the nearest hidden valley. However, she ended up rushing
towards a different location that felt unique.
Eventually, she felt something different.
The hidden valley before them was larger than the previous ones, with a powerful gust of wind blowing through it.
However, Lilly sensed that there were two soul flowers inside!
“Hey, there are two here… No, is it a pair?”
Lilly began to doubt her perception.
“Two?” the cowardly ghost frowned. “The one I saw was red, so the unseen one must be purple…”
There was no record in the book about soul flowers being born in a litter; only red and purple varieties were
mentioned.
All the ghosts, Lilly, and Lilly gazed expectantly at the hidden valley.
So, how many flowers were there?
Ivan raised his head and quietly surveyed the surroundings…
