Pirate Traveling Merchant

After the four of them landed safely, they followed the path formed by the giant vines towards the empty island that shone with white light.

"That's the empty island where the Eternal Flower is!" Nolan walked, looking curiously at the empty island and the vines under his feet from time to time.

"This giant vine is really interesting. It actually helped us find a way to the empty island. Could it be that it did this on purpose because I'm here?" Nolan said with a heartless smile, not at all. He didn't have the frightened expression he had just when he was carried high into the sky by the giant vine.

"Don't talk to yourself there. Although I don't know why the giant vine suddenly grew like this, what is certain is that it is definitely not because of you." Chris said from the side.

This time Feng failed to dismantle Nolan in time because all of Feng's physical and mental attention was now focused on the object with white light spots flashing on the empty island.

As Nolan and the others walked in, they could also see what the white light on the empty island was.

In the center of the island, there is a very slender plant standing there. It is swaying gently, and tiny white light spots are constantly scattered from it.

Nolan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Is that the Eternal Flower?"

Chris nodded a little unconfidently and said: "That should be it. Judging from the legends circulated in my clan, the plant in front of me is consistent with the description of the eternal flower passed down by our ancestors."

"Great, I got 20 billion Baileys." Nolan shouted happily.

Soon the four of them came to the Eternal Flower. Looking at the Eternal Flower that was still in bud, Nolan frowned, "This Eternal Flower hasn't bloomed yet?!"

"Well, it should be. Brother Niu, what do you think?" Chris didn't quite understand, so he turned to look at Brother Niu, who had extraordinary perception of plants.

Brother Niu still didn't answer Chris' question. After the giant vine broke out, Brother Niu fell into an unusually silent state.

All he saw in his eyes were the thin green vines that were slightly wrapped around the eternal flower.

He knew that the giant vine was saying its final farewell to the eternal flower. As if responding to the giant vine, the light around the eternal flower suddenly became brighter.

The sudden change of the Eternal Flower startled Nolan, Feng and Chris.

"What's going on? Why is it suddenly brighter?" Nolan shouted exaggeratedly.

"Is the eternal flower about to bloom?" Chris said.

Feng's eyes were fixed on the Eternal Flower, and his clenched fists became tighter.

At this moment, Brother Niu, who had been silent, spoke up, "Not yet, they are saying their final goodbyes."

"What does the last farewell mean?" Chris asked, and Nolan and Feng looked at Brother Niu curiously at the same time.

Brother Niu looked a little tragic and said slowly: "This blooming is the last time this eternal flower blooms. In order to see it for the last time, the giant vine did not hesitate to stimulate all its vitality and let its vines spread here."

Hearing this, the three people standing nearby understood why the giant vine suddenly erupted.

Nolan asked anxiously: "But the eternal flower hasn't bloomed yet. Judging from the buds, there is still a long way to go before the flower. Does the giant vine come to 'see' it in such a hurry? Does it mean eternity?" The flowers will wither soon, so there’s a chance they won’t bloom!”

Brother Niu said lightly: "I don't know exactly how the eternal flower blooms. What I feel is that the eternal flower has entered the last blooming stage in its life. Once it blooms, hundreds of flowers will bloom. Thousands of them will dissipate in this world."

As he spoke, Brother Niu's eyes became even more sad. He saw that the vitality of these two plants with different emotions was passing rapidly.The vitality of the giant vine is constantly dissipating into the surrounding air, while the eternal flower concentrates all its vitality on the buds that have not yet bloomed.

With the injection of vitality, the light on the buds becomes more and more dazzling.It was so dazzling that Nolan and the others could not look directly at them, and the four of them covered their eyes with their hands.

In the dazzling white light, Brother Niu seemed to see two human-shaped lights and shadows, one green and one white, embracing each other.

After the embrace, the two lights and shadows separated, and they were 'gazing' at each other, as if they were telling something. It might be the joy of seeing each other again after hundreds of years of separation.It seems that they are helpless that each other will disappear in this world, and Brother Niu cannot accurately perceive their current emotions.

He only knew that these two plants were expressing advanced emotions that only highly intelligent creatures could do.

Somehow, tears blurred Brother Niu's eyes.With his hazy vision, he quietly watched the light and shadow formed by these two great plants slowly disappearing into the place where they had lived for who knows how long.

The white light gradually subsided until it disappeared.Nolan and the others were finally able to see the scene in front of them clearly. When their vision returned to normal, they only saw the withered vines, the flower stems of the Eternity Flower, and the buds that fell to the ground and emitted a slight white light.

The flower buds at this moment are much larger than before.The petals on it are gradually beginning to bloom.

Brother Niu closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of clear tears flowed down his cheeks.

He wanted to give a proper farewell to these two plants, which could be said to be the most magical plants in the world. He stood quietly with his eyes closed. This was his unique farewell ceremony.

Just when Brother Niu was immersed in sadness, Nolan stepped forward curiously, looked at the buds on the ground, and said, "Can this eternal flower still bloom?"

"I...I...I don't know." Chris said helplessly. He really didn't know much about the Eternal Flower.Brother Niu, the only person present who knew the Eternal Flower fairly well, was caught up in some kind of ritual at this time. Sensing the aura of sadness on Brother Niu's body, Chris didn't dare to disturb him for a moment.

"We'll ask again when Brother Niu recovers," Chris said.

Nolan glanced at Brother Niu, nodded and said, "Well, that's all we can do. I wonder if we can touch the buds of this eternal flower. Do we have to wait here all the time?"

Nolan looked up and looked around. There was nothing on this empty island.

When Chris wanted to say he didn't know again, Feng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"It's okay to touch."

Feng said as he passed by Chris and came to Nolan's side.

"Oh! Feng, do you know the information about this eternal flower?! Then will it bloom?" Nolan didn't feel strange and asked curiously.

Feng, who looked extremely serious, nodded.

"It will bloom. This is the flowering characteristic of the eternal flower. It first falls in the bud state, and then blooms after a period of warming."

"So that's it, it's great, I can take it back to Bega Punk." Nolan looked at the buds on the ground and said happily.

"This probably won't work." Feng said suddenly.

"What's not working?"

Nolan looked at Feng in confusion. Feng did not answer immediately, but looked at Nolan with a somewhat painful expression.

Seeing Feng with some pain on his face, Nolan thought Feng was injured somewhere, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Feng, are you okay?"

Chris, who was standing behind Feng, looked at Feng with the same concern, after spending the past few days getting along with him.Chris has already regarded Feng as a friend. He feels that Feng is very interested in him and gets along well with him.

In the concerned eyes of the two people, Feng's expression became even more painful.

After a while.

Feng said sadly: "I'm sorry."

As he spoke, before Nolan and Chris could react, Feng held a syringe in one hand and pierced their bodies respectively.
