The shadow moved with incredible speed, its killing blow reaching Lu Qing's back in an instant.
Only then did Lu Qing become alert. She spun around hastily, only to see several thin, sharp tentacles lunging at her. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late!
She pulled the trigger again. The handgun spit a scorching flash of fire, severing one tentacle, but more of them swarmed toward her! Just in the nick of time, a brilliant light burst forth from her clothes. The moment the tentacles touched the light, they recoiled as if seared by a Flame, retracting instantly.
Although she had escaped disaster, Lu Qing's heart was still pounding with fear. She took a closer look and realized the 'tentacles' that had just attacked her were actually long, thin, spiky leaves. They belonged to a plant by the window, potted and standing half as tall as a person!
Lu Qing was astonished. "How can a plant attack someone? Could it be the legendary Cannibal Flower? But it doesn't even have any flowers."
