Chapter 127 Azure Flame Flower Demon
"Is it on fire?" Mo Ming murmured, turning over groggily, his mind filled with doubt.
His shelter was quiet, with not even a source of fire. How could it have caught fire?
At this moment, he didn't take it to heart at all, subconsciously still believing that he was still immersed in the fog of the dream.
However, a moment later...
"Holy crap, it's on fire!!!"
Mo Ming's heart pounded wildly, and he instantly snapped back to reality, sitting up abruptly. The surrounding darkness became exceptionally clear in his eyes.
"Boss, it's on fire!" Stone's voice came through the bronze door, urgent and anxious, as if urging him to react quickly.
Mo Ming's heart tightened; the fear of the fire gripped his heart like a cold hand. He quickly put on his coat, opened the second-floor balcony door, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, bringing a sense of clarity.
The night outside the balcony was as dark as ink, and the stars twinkled in the sky, as if watching everything.
Mo Ming had no time to think and jumped off the balcony without hesitation. At that moment, his body was as agile as a cheetah, light and swift.
Although jumping from this height seemed dangerous, his increasingly strong physique and late-stage Deep Blue level strength filled him with confidence.
The moment he landed, his legs slightly bent, and he landed steadily on the ground, making almost no sound. Then Mo Ming quickly stood up, and the surrounding environment became exceptionally clear in his eyes.
Stone, Manmeng, and Duoduo stood together in front of the bronze gate of Mo Ming's shelter, pounding on it with great force. Their anxious expressions were particularly evident in the dim light.
Thick smoke began to billow, and the air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell. A sense of urgency filled the group, and time seemed to stand still.
"Boss, look..." Before Stone could finish speaking, Mo Ming interrupted their shouts and appeared directly behind them.
"I'm here!" His voice was firm and powerful, as if giving everyone a shot of adrenaline.
At this moment, he had completely awakened from his previous confusion, and his heart was filled with a desire for life and a sense of responsibility for the entire shelter.
"Boss, look to the east." Stone's voice broke the tense atmosphere. He pointed to the open space in the distance, his eyes flashing with fear and anxiety.
Looking up in the direction the stone was pointing, Mo Ming felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
In an open space, a cluster of tall plants stood, its entire body covered in flames like dancing sprites.
The flames were not only a fiery red, but also had a hint of blue in their light, as if they were burning with some kind of mysterious power.
Amidst the flickering firelight, Mo Ming could vaguely make out that the plant resembled a human figure, dancing in the flames.
"Big brother, what is this...? It looks a bit like... a monster..." Duoduo's voice trembled slightly as she spoke to Mo Ming.
She huddled tightly behind Mo Ming, her eyes filled with fear and unease. At that moment, the scene before her was no longer a simple burning tree; it had transformed into a terrifying monster that seemed poised to pounce on them at any moment.
Mo Ming felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gently patted Duo Duo's little head, trying to soothe her emotions.
"Haha, don't be afraid, Duoduo. That's not a monster, it's my pet." His voice was gentle yet firm, as if instilling courage in her.
"Judging from this, it seems to have mutated?"
In fact, when Mo Ming first saw the plant surrounded by flames, he already had a vague guess in his mind.
The plant in the flames was Cui Cui, his pet.
Cui Cui grew from the giant man-eating flower seed planted by Mo Ming, and a special spiritual bond had already been established between her and Mo Ming.
It was this bond that allowed him to sense Cui Cui's emotions and state of mind immediately.
"Cui Cui..." Mo Ming murmured to himself, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Although he knew about Cui Cui's abilities, the current situation made him uneasy.
The reason why Cui Cui has become like this is obviously because she has consumed a large amount of Qingyan Zhuguo.
Although this fruit can enhance the plant's strength, Mo Ming never thought it would cause Cui Cui to mutate. Mo Ming was worried that Cui Cui would not be able to withstand the flames and would suffer a backlash.
For plants, the greatest enemy is fire.
"Boss, should we go save it?" Stone's voice rang out again, tinged with anxiety.
The group stared intently at Cui Cui, who was engulfed in flames, their hearts filled with unease.
"Wait a minute." Mo Ming raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, his gaze fixed on Cuicui.
At this moment, Cui Cui seemed unharmed by the flames; on the contrary, she appeared to grow even stronger amidst the encirclement. The blue flames seemed to be merging with Cui Cui's life force, creating a strange resonance.
“I can sense its emotions,” Mo Ming said softly, a determined light shining in his eyes.
“Cui Cui has not been harmed; she is adapting to this mutation. We cannot act rashly; we must wait for her to adjust on her own.”
Duoduo breathed a slight sigh of relief behind him. Although she was still a little scared, she gradually calmed down after hearing Mo Ming's words.
Shi Tou and Man Meng exchanged a glance. Although they still had doubts, they understood that Mo Ming's judgment was based on his understanding of Cui Cui.
As time passed, the color of the flames gradually softened, and Cui Cui's form slowly changed. The outline of her humanoid form became clearer, seemingly dancing in the flames, as if conveying some kind of message to them.
Mo Ming's heart was filled with anticipation. He knew that Cui Cui was undergoing a transformation, and this transformation would bring new power.
"You guys go back to sleep, I'll stay here and keep watch," Mo Ming said firmly, his gaze fixed on the flames.
He believed that Cui Cui would find her own direction in this mutation, and he would fully support her until the very last moment.
Not long after the three of them returned, Cui Cui's mutation was also nearing its end.
As time passed, the flames on its body gradually faded. The once raging flames were now reduced to a small tuft on its head and tail, their faint light flickering in the night, as if telling the story of its transformation.
At this moment, Cui Cui was no longer an ordinary plant.
Its body became more robust and powerful, and its legs and arms appeared exceptionally strong, as if it were a warrior who had been forged.
Its long tail swayed behind it like a fiery meteor, giving it a majestic and mysterious feel.
Cui Cui's appearance was that of a great demon, exuding a powerful aura.
Although it remains a plant, this mutation has endowed it with the characteristics of fire. The verdant leaves shimmer with a golden luster in the dim light, as if merging with the soul of fire.
Fire will no longer be its natural enemy, but rather its ally.
At this moment, Cui Cui seemed to have reached a harmonious symbiotic relationship with the flames, which flowed over her body as if injecting new life into her.
Mo Ming watched all this quietly, his heart filled with relief and anticipation. He knew that Cui Cui's mutation was not only an increase in power, but also a sublimation of her life.
Today, Cui Cui can definitely be considered one of the best among giant carnivorous plants.
Oh no, it should be called this now:
Azure Flame Flower Fairy!
