Chapter 2 Cordyceps Blood

As the night deepened, the moon rose directly above the cave, and the moonlight fell vertically to the ground through the cracks in the roof of the cave.

Ye Chen and Lin Tianying were startled, glanced at each other, retreated to the entrance of the cave, and watched all this quietly. At the risk of danger, they will immediately enter the fog behind them.

The cracks in the roof of the cave emitted a soft glow and spread around, gradually lighting up the rest of the cracks, and soon, a beautiful light map appeared on the roof of the cave, lighting up the entire cavern.

"It's a formation diagram, hidden in the cracks before, no wonder I vaguely feel that something is wrong. Lin Tianying stared at the light map on the top of the cave with a solemn face.

"Then do you know what this formation does?" Ye Chen asked, he didn't know anything about the formation.

"It should be used to gather the qi of the moon yin. Looking at the soft moonlight in front of him, Lin Tianying frowned and said.

"The Moonshade Qi is prepared for this blood-derived cordyceps?" Ye Chen exclaimed.

"It should be, the blood-derived cordyceps has absorbed these moon yin qi, and the blood-derived fruit produced can be described as a good tonic for people with yin and cold attribute spiritual power. Lin Tianying said with a smile, looking at the blood-derived cordyceps not far away, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes that was difficult to hide.

Bathed in the moonlight, the flower bones at the top gradually bloomed, exuding a charming floral fragrance, and endless pollen flew out of it, shimmering with a little fluorescence, and drifted around.

Ye Chen immediately took out two gas masks, handed one to Lin Tianying, and said with a frown: "I hope it won't attract too many spirit worms." ”

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any spirit insects around here, but it's best to fight quickly to avoid accidents. Lin Tianying put on a gas mask and said lightly.

"Well, this is for you first, the blood-derived cordyceps can sense the blood and qi of living beings, and these two smoke bombs are refined with a high concentration of beast blood, which can be used to cover up actions. Ye Chen took out two black balls and handed them to Lin Tianying.

"You're quite well prepared, and with this, it's much more convenient. Lin Tianying didn't shirk it, and directly put away the smoke bomb.

After a few minutes, the light map faded and the cavern returned to its original state. The petals of the bloodborne cordyceps bloomed completely, revealing a fruit that was as red as blood.

"You watch first, I'll test the situation. Seeing this fruit, Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little excited, and walked over as he spoke.

I saw that around the rhizome of the blood-derived cordyceps, eight dark green vines the thickness of thumbs and full of spikes drilled out, like eight spears, stabbing straight towards Yechen.

Ye Chen's whole body tensed, his eyes fixed on these vines, until the vines came to him, and then he suddenly flashed to the side, dodging the punctures of these vines.

Immediately, Ye Chen quickly bypassed these vines, like a cannonball, shooting straight to the side of the bloodborne cordyceps.

The Blood Fruit is right in front of you, and it's at your fingertips. Just when Ye Chen was about to pick the Blood Source Fruit, an inexplicable chill rushed up from the soles of his feet, and Ye Chen didn't even think about kicking hard under his feet, doing a somersault, and jumping over the Blood Source Cordyceps.

As soon as Yechen left the ground, two dark red vines came out from under his feet, and if Yechen moved any more slowly, he would definitely be entangled in them.

The two vines moved in the direction of Yechen's escape, chasing Yechen like poisonous snakes, and the other eight vines also rushed to follow closely behind, but they were a little behind in distance.

The speed of these vines was obviously faster than Ye Chen's, especially the two dark red vines, as soon as Ye Chen landed, they caught up and began to wrap around Ye Chen's body.

Ye Chen's face sank, and he immediately pulled out the hunting knife tied to his leg, slapped the two vines open, and at the same time, his body floated backwards with a little under his feet.

And because of this moment's delay, the eight dark green vines also came to Ye Chen's body, Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously protected the hunting knife on his chest, and the pace under his feet couldn't help but be a little faster, narrowly avoiding these attacks.

"Whew~", seeing Ye Chen fleeing from the attack range of the vines, Lin Tianying let out a long breath, although he knew Ye Chen's strength, but just now, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Ye Chen.

Through Ye Chen's temptation just now, Lin Tianying had a general understanding of the speed of these vines, and the only thing that needed to be served was the last two dark red vines that came out.

A bold plan was formed in Lin Tianying's mind, and just as he was about to make a move, he found that the two dark red vines were slowly retracting into the ground, leaving only eight dark green vines dancing freely in the air.

Lin Tianying was slightly stunned, stopped his movements, and waited until the two vines were completely retracted into the ground before throwing the smoke bomb in his hand.

"Bang. ”

Black smoke burst directly above the Blood Source Cordyceps, instantly enveloping most of the cave, making the already dim cave instantly black.

Lin Tianying's pupils flashed a trace of blue light, and he quickly rushed into the smoke, quickly avoiding the vines and running to the side of the blood-derived cordyceps, his eyesight was completely unaffected by the smoke.

Lin Tianying didn't hesitate, he directly picked the Blood Source Fruit, and at the same time, a layer of light appeared on his body, and his speed suddenly exploded, and before the dark red vines drilled out, he had already run out five or six meters, which was almost the limit of what these vines could reach.

Moreover, under the interference of the smoke, the other vines could not sense Lin Tianying's blood qi at all, and they stopped quietly in the air until the blood source fruit was picked, and then it swayed abruptly.

However, at this time, Lin Tianying had already come to the edge of the vine's attack range, and he had escaped safely before the vine touched him, and the whole process could be said to be in one go, without danger.

The swing of the vines quickened the spread of smoke, and after a few breaths, the cavern was once again dim.

"What's going on? It's too much of a reaction. Ye Chen noticed the vines waving wantonly.

"The Blood Cordyceps is trying to evolve, it needs a lot of energy, although the Blood Source Fruit is a bait, it also contains a lot of spiritual power, and now not only has it not caught its prey, but it has also lost the Blood Source Fruit, do you think it can not go crazy?" Lin Tianying walked over and explained.

"Evolution, but the evolution of the blood-derived cordyceps doesn't need to be ......" Speaking of this, Ye Chen's face changed, and he turned his head to look at the roots of the blood-derived cordyceps, "Could it be that there are high-level spirit insects buried underneath here." ”

"There should be, otherwise the spiritual power of this blood fruit would not be so abundant. Lin Tianying spread out his palms, revealing the ruby-like Blood Source Fruit.

The whole fruit is the size of a pigeon's egg, and it has an enticing fragrance that makes you want to swallow it in one bite.

"Is there anything special for the Blood Fruit? if it is not sealed well, it will attract other beasts. Lin Tianying reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm here prepared this time, and everything is fully prepared. Ye Chen said with a smile, and took out a delicate wooden box from his backpack and sealed the Blood Source Fruit in it.

At this time, there was a "rustle" sound in his ears, and Ye Chen turned his head to look and found that all the vines were lying on the ground as if they were deflated, slowly retracting into the ground. In addition to the previous ten vines, there were two more dark red vines.

"It's dangerous, if I had drilled out two more vines just now, I might not have been able to exit intact. Yechen put away the wooden box and sighed.

"You should be glad you discovered this place earlier, if you wait for it to evolve and then pick the Blood Source Fruit, we might both be planted here. Lin Tianying smiled bitterly.

"I think I'm lucky to have you say that. Ye Chen smiled, "But why don't you think it's fate?"

"Because I never believed in fate. Lin Tianying said seriously.

"Now that the Blood Source Fruit is in hand, let's go, so as not to cause more trouble. Lin Tianying said as he walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Looking at Lin Tianying's distant back, Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, his eyes were a little sad, "Yes! ”

Ye Chen cursed in a low voice for a while before he quickly followed Lin Tianying and walked towards the mist at the entrance of the cave.
