Chapter 688: 688
The third stage of the task was far more difficult than the other two stages combined . On the Beast King Island, all the creatures were Beast Kings . One could imagine what the final result would be when the Beast Kings appeared before them in packs .
A single Beast King was a huge threat to Mo Wen, let alone a pack of Beast Kings . If he was surrounded by a pack of Beast Kings, he would almost certainly perish .
As long as the Seven Human Warriors could survive in this space for a day, they would complete the task . However, surviving a day in such an environment was easier said than done . Even Mo Wen was not confident .
Fortunately, this task was not completely hopeless . All the human ancient martial art practitioners that died on this Beast King Island would not truly die . They would be revived in the space outside . However, once they died on this island, they would be withdrawn from the task .
Success in the third stage did not require all the human ancient martial art practitioners to survive . As long as one person stayed on the island for a whole day, the task would be considered completed . This made Mo Wen breathe a slight sigh of relief . If all of them had to survive on the island for a day, it would be impossible for people like Bu Xingyi to pull it off .
Knowing that dying on this island was not real death, Mo Wen felt his emotions gradually calm down . Since the possibility of danger had been eliminated, all he needed to do was to work hard to stay alive . As long as he tried his best, his conscience was clear .
Mo Wen gradually awakened from his declarative memory . He glanced around at his surroundings . Everywhere looked vibrant . On the surface, there did not seem to be any danger .
Just by staying alive on this island for a full day, they could complete the task . Mo Wen immediately lost all notion of stirring up trouble . He was even willing to find a quiet, safe corner to meditate for a day while waiting for the task to end . However, this was Beast King Island . There were Beast Kings everywhere . Everywhere he went, he felt unsafe .
Mo Wen dropped back down to the ground . He looked at his surroundings, preparing to find a corner to hide away . However, the idea had just surfaced in his mind when he suddenly felt a sense of danger emerge without warning .
Mo Wen was shocked . Without even thinking, he activated the Glory of Wind . A light image flashed, and he disappeared from his original spot .
Plant roots had quietly appeared without sound or presence at the spot that Mo Wen had just been standing at . They swept across, catching thin air .
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
A bizarre voice suddenly sounded from the surrounding shrubbery .
Ten meters away, Mo Wen’s silhouette appeared . He narrowed his gaze and furiously looked towards the spot .

Tens of thousands of green plant vines emerged from the shrubbery . In the blink of an eye, vines covered the ground and the sky . The vines entangled themselves together like a birds nest . They covered a radius of a hundred meters, trapping Mo Wen inside .
“A plant type monstrous beast!” Mo Wen was astonished . These vines were a very rare plant type monstrous beast . Plant type monstrous beasts themselves were also unusual . They were very particular about their habitats, and tiny plant type monstrous beasts were not able to survive as long as animal type monstrous beasts could .
Mo Wen had not expected that once he came to the Beast King Island, he would encounter a plant type monstrous beast .
The aura emanated by the vines was rather astonishing . Its power was comparable to a Beast King .
“It’s been a long time since I have eaten human flesh . I am recalling it now . The taste is unforgettable . ”
A thick vine slowly rose from the ground . The vine was as thick as a bowl and resembled a small tree branch . It had a wrinkled human face on it and looked very bizarre .
The face on the vines looked hungrily at Mo Wen . It was as though it could not wait to immediately swallow him whole .
“You want to eat me?” Mo Wen asked .
“Of course, I want to eat you . Haha, how many years has it been since I last saw a human? I thought that I would never get to taste such delicious flesh again in this lifetime . ” The Vine Beast King laughed out loud . It seemed that encountering Mo Wen was like finding an absolute treasure .
Mo Wen smiled slightly . “You want to eat me, but I will not let you do so . ” A golden light suddenly appeared on his body . The next moment, he was like a golden sun, shining brightly . A scorching hot aura swiftly expanded outwards, with him as the center .
The vines all around him retracted slightly, seemingly cautious of the flames on Mo Wen’s body .
Fire attribute and lightning attribute powers were the bane of plant type monstrous beasts’ lives .
“Such powerful flame power . It is actually not weaker than the southern island fire attribute Beast Kings . Human, your cultivation is not high, yet you have mastered such high-ranked fire attribute power . That is somewhat strange . ”

The face carved on the vines twisted slightly . A pair of inky green eyeballs stared at Mo Wen . The eyes bore a serious look .
The plant type monstrous beast was indeed most afraid of the power of the fire attribute . When they encountered fire attribute Beast Kings, plant type monstrous beasts would normally avoid them as much as they could . However, this human ancient martial art practitioner’s cultivation was too low . He should not need to be feared .
“You can’t stop me,” Mo Wen said, then his silhouette disappeared from its original spot .
He did not want to battle against such a Beast King . The entire island was them, and a battle could well draw the attention of other Beast Kings . That could be catastrophic for Mo Wen .
“Trying to escape? Dream on . ”
The Vine Beast King had finally come across a delicious human: how could it possibly let him go right now? Beams of green light immediately emanated from the vines . They interweaved together and formed a huge green light shroud, sealing off the entire surrounding space .
Mo Wen’s silhouette appeared in a corner of the light shroud . He coldly snorted . “Humph! If I want to go, you can’t stop me . ” His right hand lit up with crimson light . The Blood Clotting Claw appeared and ripped a large hole in the green light shroud with a slash . Mo Wen made his way out .
The Vine Beast King had not expected that a human ancient martial art practitioner’s attack would actually be so powerful . It was impossible for even a Lord monstrous beast to break out once the Vine Beast King had trapped it, let alone a human . Since when were humans stronger than even monstrous beasts of the same realm?
The hole that Mo Wen had torn open was contaminated with masses of crimson flame . The crimson flame stayed on the vines, burning constantly .
“Such a bizarre power . ”
The Vine Beast King was astonished . It channeled its demonic power but could not quickly put out the crimson flames . A jade green light flashed and the vines contaminated with crimson flames were all chopped off, dropping down to the ground one by one . Losing the power from the main body, these vines were instantly burnt to ash by the crimson flames .
“Humph, don’t even think of escaping . ”
The Vine Beast King was enraged beyond compare . A human ancient martial art practitioner was actually trying to escape from its grasp . It was wishful thinking on the human’s part .

Right now, Mo Wen had already appeared a hundred meters away . With a twinkle, he sprang further away .
Behind him, vines suddenly shot up to the sky . The vines instantly grew larger, like tree trunks, as they furiously chased behind Mo Wen .
The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth curled into a cold smile . A gentle breeze swept up around him . The next moment, his silhouette disappeared . In the blink of an eye, he appeared a hundred meters away . The vines could not catch up with him at all .
Once Mo Wen unleashed the Glory of Wind, aside from Beast Kings which specialized in speed, ordinary Beast Kings could not keep up with him .
“Outrageous… outrageous!”
Seeing that he could not catch up with Mo Wen, the Vine Beast King was so angry that it cried out loud . It was not satisfied, but it was also helpless to do anything about it .
The Beast King Island was very big, but there were also many monstrous beasts .
Mo Wen had flown for not more than ten kilometers, and he had already encountered no fewer than ten Beast Kings . Some of the Beast Kings were exceptionally powerful, giving Mo Wen quite the scare .
By now, though, he had learned to be smart . He would not battle any of the monstrous beasts he encountered if possible, and would instead turn around and escape .
The Beast Kings he encountered were all manner of shapes and sizes . There were ones that flew, ones that ran and ones that swam . There was also a huge tree that seemed normal, looking no different from the other ordinary large trees . However, it suddenly opened up a huge bloody mouth, nearly swallowing Mo Wen .
Mo Wen finally understood that it was impossible for there to be a safe haven on this Beast King Island . There was danger lurking around every corner . The people who were on this island would constantly need to have heightened nerves . Otherwise, they would be dead before they knew it .
Mo Wen traversed the island with a serious expression . He did not know when he might encounter danger . He had to be on high alert all the time . The difficulty of this task was undoubtedly rather high .
Rumble!
A huge sound came from in front of him . A gale swept by and a terrifying aura began to move towards Mo Wen at high speed .
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows . There was a Beast King approaching again . This aura, without a doubt, belonged to a Beast King .
Huh?
Aside from the Beast King’s aura, Mo Wen also discovered another aura . This aura was also flying in his direction . The Beast King seemed to be chasing behind this aura .
A strange expression appeared on Mo Wen’s face . He was familiar with this aura . Now, despite having only just arrived on the Beast King Island, Mo Wen had already encountered a fellow warrior .
When the Seven Human Warriors were transferred to the Beast King Island, they were randomly sent to different parts of the island . It was impossible for two of them to be sent to the same spot . Hence, there was a very high chance that they would not encounter other human ancient martial art practitioners until the task had ended .
Mo Wen had not expected that he would encounter a human ancient martial art practitioner so soon . The person was none other than the Ming Temple’s Sect Grand Elder, Bu Xingyi .
A light image flashed . A person emerged from the forest in front of Mo Wen . The person was wearing a red robe embroidered with patterns of the sun, the moon and the stars . It was Bu Xingyi . He looked absolutely pathetic . His clothes were disheveled and tattered . His face was pale, and he was injured all over his body .
Behind him, a terrifying aura was closing in at high speed . It was clearly a Beast King . Bu Xingyi was being hunted by a Beast King .
“Mo Wen… save me!”
Bu Xingyi had just burst through the dense forest . He had not expected that he would immediately encounter Mo Wen . His eyes immediately revealed a look of joy .
Although his relationship with Mo Wen was tense, his survival was a matter that affected all human ancient martial art practitioners . Mo Wen surely would help him!
