Star Odyssey Chapter 1591: Fennel Flowzone

Chapter 1591: Fennel Flowzone

Fennel Flowzone was basically a gateway to Venom Flowzone, and the flowzone was like a small island in the Innerverse. However, despite being even smaller than Northline Flowzone, Fennel Flowzone was a very lively place.

Venom Flowzone was unique throughout the entire Innerverse. It was filled with all kinds of poisonous insects and hidden monsters. Additionally, it was home to many people whose cultivation were lacking and who had been forced to resort to other methods. This was the reason why Venom Flowzone was a desirable place to many people, and its status had only increased after the Sixth Mainland had attempted to attack the Divine Venom Dynasty. The flowzone’s mystery had only risen after that incident.

Also, the price of Venom Flowzone’s poisonous bugs was very high.

At the moment, Venom Flowzone was focused on the Great Eastern Alliance. All of the alliance’s former opponents had either surrendered or been acquired, but the aftermath of these forceful acquisitions no longer concerned Lu Yin.

"Ah!" There was a small scream as a pale-faced Luo Shen stared at a poisonous bug floating just outside their vessel, and she hid behind Lu Yin.

He looked over, and his mouth twitched; the creature was truly revolting.

This poisonous creature looked like a cross between a centipede and a toad. It had hundreds of legs, but it also had the head of a toad filled with bulging pustules.

With a wave of Lu Yin’s hand, the creature was sent away.

Lu Yin filled his eyes with star energy and looked out at outer s.p.a.ce, where he saw runes everywhere. Each one represented a poisonous creature floating around, and some of them were even larger than a s.p.a.cecraft. At the same time, there were also many s.p.a.cecraft flying through the area.

These vessels were catching poisonous creatures, as they not only moved through outer s.p.a.ce, but also inhabited many of the nearby planets.

Luo Shen became increasingly afraid. In such a place, there was no need to mention her—most people would also be terrified.

The Fennel Flowzone had been taken over by the Great Eastern Alliance many years ago. After Lu Yin arrived, he was greeted by Wei Rong and Ku Wei.

"Boss, you’re finally here! Boss, Little Wei has been waiting for you for so long!" Ku Wei immediately dropped down to embrace Lu Yin’s legs the moment he saw Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was rendered speechless, and he kicked Ku Wei away. "Knock off the references. Just call me ‘master.’"

In order to save Ku Wei from the Ku family of the Seven Courts, Lu Yin had become Ku Wei’s Lockbreaker master.

"Master, you’re finally back. Little Wei has suffered with you gone!" Ku Wei howled.

Suddenly, other miserable wails rang out, and countless people from the Great Eastern Alliance turned to look.

"Alliance Leader! My lord, you're back! My lord, Little Tan has been waiting for you and has suffered so much." The person who was making such a commotion this time was the Blaze Realm’s Elder Tan. After deciding to follow Lu Yin, the elder’s entire personality had changed.

Ku Wei glared at Elder Tan. "Get lost! Don’t stop me from enjoying my time with my master."

Elder Tan blatantly ignored Ku Wei. "Alliance Leader, Little Tan has been waiting for you and suffering all the awhile."

Lu Yin rolled his eyes. The star energy in the area suddenly trembled, and both of the men were sent flying, which caused Luo Shen to giggle as she watched the scene.

Wei Rong bowed to Lu Yin. "Your Highness, welcome home."

Lu Yin nodded and asked some workers to get Luo Shen settled in. He then led Liu Ye and Fei Hua towards the Greenlight Forest, which was the closest place to Venom Flowzone.

The Greenlight Forest was also the most valuable location in all of Fennel Flowzone. It was not a planet, nor was it a mainland. Instead, it was the dried-up corpse of a ma.s.sive poisonous bug that had been dead for an unknown amount of time. It had been so long that trees had grown on the corpse, and amazingly, these trees bore fruits that gave off a green light. This was able to give immunity to most of the poisonous ga.s.ses in Venom Flowzone, and they were also able to avoid being eaten or destroyed by many of the poisonous creatures.

These glowing green fruits were a necessity for any cultivator who wanted to enter Venom Flowzone. The Greenlight Forest had previously been controlled by the Divine Venom Dynasty, but had recently been taken over by the Great Eastern Alliance.

"The Divine Venom Dynasty allowed us to take the Greenlight Forest?" Lu Yin asked.

Wei Rong said, "The Divine Venom Dynasty was built up a myth regarding themselves within Venom Flowzone, and it’s true that Venom Flowzone is too difficult to attack. However, outside Venom Flowzone, even though they use techniques that are more bizarre than the Sword Sect, they are not that strong. The alliance can only step back when it comes to Venom Flowzone, but as compensation, we promised guard their gate in Fennel Flowzone for them. Information regarding anyone who enters Venom Flowzone is always shared with the Divine Venom Dynasty.”

"The Divine Venom Dynasty places too much importance on their environment within Venom Flowzone." Lu Yin instantly saw the problem. The Divine Venom Dynasty did not care too much about things outside of their own flowzone. Even if Fennel Flowzone was a portal to their domain, they were completely confident that no one could force their way into Venom Flowzone. If even the Sixth Mainland had failed, what could the Great Eastern Alliance do?

Wei Rong smiled. "I like their confidence."

Lu Yin smiled and looked to the west.

"Master, this disciple will show you around Fennel Flowzone." Ku Wei took every opportunity he found to spout flattery.

Not to be outdone, Elder Tan chipped in, "Alliance Leader, this subordinate will show you Venom Flowzone."

"Master, your disciple has prepared a lot of special food for you."

"Alliance Leader, your subordinate has prepared a beautiful girl."

…

Lu Yin had no desire to pay any attention to either of the two.

Liu Ye and Fei Hua were both very curious about Fennel Flowzone, so they stayed silent as everyone moved along. No one was able to sense the two Envoys’ strength.

If anyone told the people present that Liu Ye and Fei Hua were experts with power levels that exceeded 700,000, everyone’s att.i.tude would drastically change in an instant.

It did not take long for Lu Yin to step foot on the Greenlight Forest. This was the first place he had visited in the Innerverse that truly belonged to the Great Eastern Alliance.

Lu Yin’s arrival in Fennel Flowzone drew the attention of the members of the Divine Venom Dynasty, but nothing more than their attention. After all, the dynasty cared for nothing about the outside world.

Periodically, there would be a surge in the poisons within Venom Flowzone, and the toxins would spread, polluting even the tributary astral rivers separating the flowzone from its neighbors. Lu Yin's arrival happened to coincide with one such poison tide.

Lu Yin stood in the Greenlight Forest and watched as countless strange poisons flowed through, painting the starry sky. There were all kinds of poisons to be seen. Lu Yin sighed. "It's really quite amazing."

He felt that it would be good to go to the Divine Venom Dynasty to get some poisons that he could then Enhance them like crazy.

Events had proven that poison remained very useful in combat.

"A large number of people are lured out after the poison tides each year, as the tides push out some of the rarer poisons from the depths of Venom Flowzone, as well as some planets that are filled with poison.

A violent whistling was heard, and Wei Rong's expression instantly changed. "That’s a Babybud. They have very powerful poisons and can be the size of a star. They’re creatures that are normally not provoked within Venom Flowzone."

A shadow pa.s.sed by up above, and Lu Yin looked up to see an incomparably ma.s.sive creature that was covered with poisonous ga.s.ses of all different colors. He even saw mountains and swamps on the creature’s skin.

In this place, a Babybud was definitely a creature that was considered extremely powerful, and Lu Yin estimated by the runes he saw that it had a power level of about 450,000.

"After a Babybud shows up, it’s necessary to wait a few days before moving even if the poison tide has already finished. Things will become much safer after it returns to Venom Flowzone," Wei Rong explained in a helpless manner.

"That’s a very interesting creature. Liu Ye, do you remember that poisonous bug we ran into in the Lower Realm? This thing’s very similar to that," Sister Fei Hua said.

Liu Ye agreed, "It's a bit close, but somewhat smaller. I’ll go grab it to take a closer look."

"I’ll go with you." With that, both of them disappeared.

Wei Rong was startled by their actions. "Your Highness, those two…?"

"Just let them go. It's just a little bug," Lu Yin indifferently dismissed Wei Rong’s concerns.

Wei Rong's expression changed a bit, and he took a careful look at Lu Yin. He had changed. In the past, Lu Yin would absolutely have been cautious of a creature like a Babybud that had a level of strength that approached that of an Envoy, and yet he had just called one a little bug?

For Liu Ye, Fei Hua, or even Lu Yin, a Babybud really was just a little bug. Lu Yin was able to with average one-tribulation Envoys who had power levels of more than 500 thousand. It was a different perspective

As for Liu Ye and Fei Hua, they were both terrifying powerhouses with power levels of more than 700,000. Even Long Kui had once admitted to not being able to face the two of them together, which meant that when cooperating, the Flying Blossom Willow Leaf Duo were able to defeat opponents with power levels of more than 800,000.

Together, they were approaching the strength of Yuan s.h.i.+. A Babybud truly was just a bug.

There were many of the Great Eastern Alliance’s experts in Fennel Flowzone, but no top-tier powerhouses. The strongest person present was Duane Daynight, who was an Enlighter from the Dayking clan who had a power level of 430,000. Naturally, he could not deal with a Babybud.

None of the people present were aware of the fact that the Babybud had not been released from Venom Flowzone by the poison tide, but had been released by the Divine Venom Dynasty. This was not some attack on the Great Eastern Alliance, but was merely intended to act as a deterrent.

The Divine Venom Dynasty did not care about Fennel Flowzone, as they believed that no one could touch them, but that was on the premise that Venom Flowzone remained easy to defend and difficult to attack. They needed to maintain their air of mystery and fear to protect Venom Flowzone. After a Babybud moved out, no one would dare do anything and no one would be able to enter Venom Flowzone. Their mysterious reputation would grow even stronger. This was the way that the Divine Venom Dynasty handled things.

They actually had their own methods to ensure their survival, and they did not truly ignore the rest of the Fifth Mainland.

Inside Venom Flowzone, a group of people stood tall in s.p.a.ce as countless poisonous objects pa.s.sed by them. They did not react to any of the toxins, and acted as though such things did not even exist.

"Prince, those people out there who saw the Babybud probably won't dare try to enter for at least half a year," one person commented with a smile.

Everyone else in the group quickly agreed

There was a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the group, and a smile appeared on his face after hearing their words. He proudly stated, "Of course not! They wouldn't dare enter even if they had ten times the courage they possess."

"The Great Eastern Alliance must have been frightened as well. Each year, the prince releases some powerful poisons with the poison tides, and that should be enough to keep the Great Eastern Alliance from doing anything rash."

"The prince’s wisdom is unparalleled! If those idiots in the Blaze Realm had possessed half of his wisdom, they would never have been destroyed by the Great Eastern Alliance."

The prince laughed loudly. "How could the Blaze Realm ever compare to my Divine Venom Dynasty? My imperial brother entrusted me with this matter, so naturally I’ll handle it properly."

At this moment, they heard a shrill whistle off in the distance, and several people’s expressions instantly changed. When they looked over, they saw the Babybud violently struggling as though it had just suffered an unimaginable attack. “This bug dares fight back?"

Suddenly, the Babybud started shrinking, and it fell into the Greenlight Forest and disappeared.

"Take it easy! Don't kill it too fast." Another voice was heard.

"Don't worry, bugs are incredibly durable. This thing can't die."

"Be a bit more careful."

…

The people within Venom Flowzone were all stunned; the Babybud had been captured? A bug?

The prince swallowed. There was an Envoy out there. Absolutely an Envoy! Who except for an Envoy could grab a Babybud so casually while not giving the creature the slightest opportunity to resist. There were Envoys in Fennel Flowzone. The Great Eastern Alliance had true powerhouses.

Wait, hadn’t the reports claimed that the alliance had no Envoys? They had needed to borrow an Envoy from the Sea King’s Dome? Then where had these Envoys come from? There were two of them!

"Let’s go. We’re returning to the Dynasty," the prince decisively ordered. He turned around and prepared to leave. He needed to report this matter to the emperor. The Great Eastern Alliance had hidden their strength too well; they actually had two Envoys in Fennel Flowzone! What did they want? With two Envoys, the Ross Empire and the sylvan dragons could have been eliminated long ago, so what was the alliance doing in Fennel Flowzone?

Even though the Great Eastern Alliance could not compare to the strength that had been mobilized when the Sixth Mainland had attacked Venom Flowzone, from the prince’s perspective, the alliance was even more dangerous than the Sixth Mainland. At least the Sixth Mainland had been enemies with the entire Fifth Mainland, while the Great Eastern Alliance was possibly focused exclusively on Venom Flowzone.
