《Skulls and Crossbones: A Furry Pirate Litrpg》Book Three: Chapter 8
Advertisement
The morning sun cast a warm glow over the lush jungle landscape as Lucy and her companions set out on their journey to the hidden city. They had spent the night sleeping in the trees and were now ready to embark on the next leg of their adventure. The tall trees and thick undergrowth made it difficult to see far ahead, but Lucy trusted in Loretta's guidance. She was leading the way through the jungle, with Lucy following closely behind.
As they walked, Lucy noticed the air had a fresh and fragrant smell, as though it was infused with the essence of all the plants and trees around them. It was a beautiful and eerie place all at once. She turned to Loretta and asked, "Are you sure this is the right way?"
Loretta smiled and nodded, "Trust me, I've been through here before."
Lucy wasn't entirely convinced, but she trusted in Charles' trust in Loretta, so she followed along.
After walking for some time, they came upon a clearing filled with tall, red-headed plants. The stems of the plants were thick and covered in long green vines.
Ivy exclaimed in wonder, "Wow! Those blooms look beautiful!"
But Loretta quickly hushed her, "Those plants are monsters. They will eat anything that touches them."
Lucy's eyes widened as she saw her notification appear in her vision:
Flesh Eater Flower Level: 10 Race: Plant Creature HP: 100 Mob
The flowers were strong and could kill one weak NPC instantly, but there was no way to walk around them.
Lucy asked, "Can we walk around them?"
Loretta shook her head, "If we do, it will take longer to reach the city. The night will arrive before we get there."
Tashina had an idea, "I could burn them," she said with a mischievous grin, "plants hate fire. Hehehehe."

But Loretta was quick to shut down the idea, "No, you could bloody set the whole place on fire and kill us all." Loretta whispered, "Stepping quietly through the garden is our only option. Remember to move slowly and watch your feet. Ready?"
Everyone in the party nodded, their nerves palpable. Lucy took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves and calm her racing heart. Leading the way, Loretta strode through the garden, her movements light and graceful as she moved on the tips of her toes. Lucy followed closely behind, her eyes fixed firmly on her feet, watching each step she took to avoid the dangerous blooms.
The group moved slowly, their movements deliberate and measured. The sound of their footsteps was muted by the soft crunch of dead leaves and the rustling of grass beneath their feet. Lucy's heart pounded in her chest, and she couldn't shake the feeling that at any moment, one of the monster plants would reach out and grab her. However, they finally made it to the other side of the garden, and Lucy breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to be away from the dangerous plants.
But as she breathed out, Ivy tripped over a vine and hit the ground. "Ouch!" She cried. Suddenly, a flower nearby unwrapped its vine from its body, and the vine reached Ivy's leg and pulled her towards the flower. Ivy screamed as her fingers dragged through the dirt, "Help me!"
Lucy's heart raced as she watched in horror as Ivy was pulled closer and closer to the deadly flower. Without a second thought, she sprang into action, pulling out her sword and rushing towards Ivy. She sliced through the vine, freeing Ivy from its grasp.
Flesh Eater Flower HP: 90
Ivy looked up at Lucy with wide eyes, "Thank you!" she exclaimed, her voice shaking.
