Adrian also managed to view the passive skill and cannot helped but be surprised. The passive skill is of the Mythical tier and could also be evolved to the Transcendent tier. The fact that the skill gives immunity to blinding effects and attacks is already great, but it also has a skill boost and stat boost.

Adrian could not believe that a mythical passive skill is such a great boost, but he also heard from Mariposa that the Insectoids or any insect monsters have a great weakness and that is their elemental weaknesses.

Insectoids and insect monsters have very bad affinity to fire as it deals them about four times the amount that it normally should. To compensate for this great weakness, the insect monsters or people often have great attack power or great defensive power.

”I think I could take on that plant with the boost right now but the most I could do is keep it busy. You need to find out a way to incapacitate it or make it lose its attention on the Compound Eye Orb.” Mariposa stated as she pointed that the location of the orb is now covered with vines.

”Fine but I need to have Siriusʼ help. How long do you think you can stall the vines in this room?” Adrian stated.

”At most 10 minutes as I am not sure what the level of the monster plant that we are fighting right now.” Mariposa stated as she knows that a grafted monster plant is still powerful if the main monster plant is extremely strong.

Adrian agreed and immediately set the plan into motion. Mariposa rose up from the shadows and summoned three of her soulbounds. The crystal mantis, the large stag beetle and the large centipede all formed a protective wall on their master.

The vines suddenly all shot towards them since the monster plant managed to detect their presence. Adrian immediately went to the likely location of the vines while he and Sirius are still under the effects of the shadows.

Adrian pushed forward into the darker part of the room. He could easily see the surroundings due to his dark vision. He finally saw the monster plant that is actually stuck on the wall of the room itself. It looked like a red type of orchid and below it is bodies of monsters. It is currently feeding on the blood of the monsters offered to it.

----

Monster Name: Blood Orchid (Graft)

Level: 210

Description: A rare species of monster plant that is said to be extremely resilient as it could survive without drinking a drop of blood for a whole month. It has a habit of collecting the blood of monsters that fall victim to its vines.

It will drink all the blood of its victims until they are a dried husk as it is voracious when it can finally eat. Be careful when venturing in the territory of these terrifying monster plants as they will never let you escape alive. It has pheromones that could allure any type of monster that likes sweet scents.

A level 210 monster is expected but the name of the monster plant is actually golden. Adrian could not believe that an extremely rare species of monster is what they will face. The fact that it is only a copy of the original is already terrifying enough because a copy already surpassed the level of 200.

It has increased stats compared to monsters with level below it. Adrian is about to go back and help Mariposa just brute force her way in getting the Compound Eye Orb, but Adrian noticed something in the corner.

A bulb is glowing with pulsing light as if it is a heartbeat and the Blood Orchid is actually looking at it. The monster plant is not showing a caring attitude but one with hunger. As if the monster plant is waiting for the bulb to mature. Adrian immediately tried to inspect the bulb but all her got are unknown information.

Name: Unknown Bulb

Level: Unknown

Description: Unknown

Adrian wanted to see further but it seems that the grafted Blood Orchid is more intelligent than he thought. It actually took notice of the shadow moving about in the area, but it did not openly attack since it could not do magical attacks.

It just waited for the person hiding in the shadow to move again but it is protecting the bulb like a predator scaring away scavengers from the prey that it hunted.

”It being unknown could only mean one thing. It is some sort of egg but since monster plants are not able to lay eggs, they must be able to give birth to young through bulbs like that. I should definitely take it as it would focus its attention on me.” Adrian thought as he commanded Sirius to immediately snatch the bulb after he shows himself.

The shadow elongated as Adrian is actually placing Quantum Spacemines in the area of the Blood Orchid. He does not intend to fatally damage it but distract it for just a split second that Sirius will be able to get that bulb.

Adrian looked at Sirius with a serious look as their plan could go sideways if the Blood Orchid (Graft) is unaffected by the plan.
