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..."
Regardless 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!"
