Chapter 469: Dragon's Blood Strain
Turning the corner of a tree hole, Chen Ziyang saw that the tree hole in front of him seemed to have come to an end. The front of the tree hole is pitch black, as if connected to a relatively large space, and I don't know exactly what it is.
At this moment, with a "whoosh", another black shadow stuck to the side wall of the tree hole, burrowing into the darkness in front of him from the direction behind Chen Ziyang.
"Eryang, how many are these? We've been walking for a while, and seven or eight of these shadows have passed through, right? This is still illuminated by the two of us with a flashlight, and I don't know how many of them have not been illuminated by the flashlight, and how many have not been seen by the two of us.
Looks like these shadow things are concentrating on the front of here, do you think it has something to do with the dryad? Seeing that there was another black shadow passing through, Yang Lei was no longer surprised.
Chen Ziyang also felt very strange, from the time the five people entered the strange passage, until the five people came to the remnants of the Dryad's body, and then followed the remnants of the Dryad's body into this underground Dryad's root world, these black shadow-like creatures rarely appeared.
And the first black lizard shadow-like creature I saw showed up because it was going to prey on the seal spider, that is to say, almost all of these black lizard shadow-like creatures were hidden before, they rarely moved, and it is likely that the range of activity is also very small, but why are these black lizard shadow-like creatures appearing one after another now.
Combined with some of his own speculations, Chen Ziyang estimated that the movements of these black lizard shadow creatures should be related to two things. One could be the Dryad, and the other could be related to the Seal Spiders. It is quite possible that there are a large number of seal spiders gathered there in the direction ahead, and these black lizard shadows are there to hunt.
Because judging by the size of the space that was eaten before, Chen Ziyang estimated that the number of seal spiders here was definitely not a few, but he had only seen one along the way, which made him unable to figure it out, so Chen Ziyang felt that it was very likely that these spiders had changed their gathering place and built another nest elsewhere. It's likely that these black lizard-shadow creatures are there to hunt the seal spiders.
But whatever the reason, these strange black lizard-like creatures were gathering in front of here, which made Chen Ziyang feel a little uneasy.
After all, the power of the seal spider toxin has been seen by himself, and this black lizard shadow creature can prey on the seal spider, so this creature must also be very powerful, and it should be difficult to deal with.
In addition, the number of such creatures is very large, and at the same time, the size of the black lizard shadow creatures is very strange, relatively flat, relatively thin, and it is very difficult to capture their movements, so Chen Ziyang's heart is also a little uneasy. But in order to deal with the dryad, now I can only bite the bullet.
After the two of them walked cautiously for a few steps, they completely walked out of the tree hole and came to a black space connected to the tree hole. After pricking up their ears and listening for a while, neither Chen Ziyang nor Yang Lei heard that weird sound again.
Although the sound of the strange sound before was relatively small, it was very coherent. Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei had been listening for a while, and they roughly judged that the sound response should be composed of two parts, one part seemed to be the sound of something slapping each other, and the other part seemed to be a person's low roar.
From the direction and size of the sound, the two people could roughly judge that the sound should come from this dark space, but when the two people came here, the strange sound disappeared and never appeared again, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei were close together, listening quietly, but no one showed any clues.
In order to prevent the two of them from exposing their whereabouts, after just entering here, Chen Ziyang turned off the flashlight in his hand, and he and Yang Lei waited quietly for a while at the junction between the tree hole and the dark space.
During the more than a minute of waiting, the two men did not hear any sound or see any light. And Chen Ziyang also poured mana into his eyes, and after looking around in this dark space, there was nothing to show up, it seemed that all the people and things that made a noise here before were no longer here.
After seeing that there should be no danger in this space for the time being, Yang Lei and Chen Ziyang turned on the flashlight in their hands at the same time, and two bright flashlights shone in a circle in this space. Everything in this space was exposed to the bright flashlight of the two people, and when they saw what existed in the space, both of them showed their eyes in disbelief.
The things in this space are all too familiar to Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, the two of them have been dealing with these things for a long time, and even both of them have benefited from such things, and they have also picked up a life because of such things.
The thing in the space is the dragon blood strain in Instructor Liu's mouth.
Although the dragon's blood strains in front of the two people were not blood-red, but a black dark gray, and there was no red mist floating out of these dragon's blood plants, whether it was from the appearance of these dragon's blood strains or from the tiny holes on the dragon's blood plants, the plants in front of the two people were all exactly the same as the strange red creatures that the two of them saw in the Bohai Palace.
While shocked to see the dragon's blood strain again, Chen Ziyang forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, and he turned his attention elsewhere, quickly observing the structure of this space.
Unlike the spaces that the two of them had passed through through the tree cavities before, this space was clearly naturally formed, and was not eaten by moths or seal spiders, because there were not a lot of wood chips and dung balls like rat droppings on the ground of this space. Moreover, the plant roots on both sides of the space are also very intact, apparently not being eaten.
What Chen Ziyang didn't expect was that his flashlight couldn't reach the end of this space. Although this space is not too wide, the walls composed of plant roots on the left and right sides are only twenty or thirty meters apart, but this pitch-black space is not visible at a glance, even the nearly 1oo meters long beam of light from the strong flashlight is hidden at the end of this space.
And in this space, as long as the flashlight shines on, as long as the two people can see, all of them are covered with dragon blood strains. These dragon's blood strains were almost all five or six meters tall, one next to the other, and they were densely packed, almost filling the ground of this space.
There are even many places on the ground here that have left broken branches that have fallen from the dragon's blood plant, apparently because these dragon's blood plants grow too densely, and the dragon's blood plants squeeze each other, so that the branches of these dragon's blood plants fall off from the body of the dragon's blood plant after being squeezed by each other.
"Eryang, this ...... That's too much, and it's a bit exaggerated. Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Lei said in surprise.
"But why are these things different from what we've seen in the Bohai Palace? The plant we saw in the Bohai Palace was blood-red, and a lot of red mist flowed out of the holes in the plant.
But you look at the front, although these plants are exactly the same as the one we saw in the Bohai Palace, but these plants are black and gray, and there is no red mist flowing out, what is going on? ”
"I think it's probably because the plants are all dead." Chen Ziyang replied in the affirmative.
Just when Yang Lei asked this series of questions, Chen Ziyang also revealed that in addition to the color and red mist, another difference between the Bohai Palace and the dragon's blood plant here is the soil "soil" where the dragon's blood plant grows.
When he was in the Bohai Palace, Chen Ziyang's large cluster of dragon's blood plants grew on a lot of corpse bones, and the root system of the dragon's blood plant was coiled on a large pile of white bones, so it can be said that the soil in which the dragon's blood plant grew was the human bones.
At that time, Chen Ziyang guessed that it was likely that the reason why the dragon's blood strain would be blood-red, and the red mist emitted by the dragon's blood strain would have such a great effect on the human body, in the final analysis, was because this plant survived by sucking human blood. Dragon's blood transforms human blood into that red mist, which in turn nourishes the human body.
So after seeing the dragon's blood strains in front of him, Chen Ziyang paid attention to the roots of these dragon's blood plants, wanting to see if these dragon's blood plants were also growing on the bones of the corpse.
But what he didn't expect was that there wasn't even a single corpse on the ground here, and even these dragon's blood plants didn't even have a root system, and these dragon's blood plants all grew directly from the root system of the plant.
In this space, all sides are covered with plant roots, but the roots of the plants on the ground do not have spikes, and the surface of the root system is smooth, and these dragon's blood plants grow from these roots.
The Dryad's body is already dead, so these dragon blood plants that grow on the Dryad's root system should have no nutrients to draw from for a long time. If the previous dragon blood strains relied on the blood absorbed by the dryad to grow, then in the past two thousand years, these dragon blood strains have long had no nutrients to absorb, which is why Chen Ziyang will tell Yang Lei with certainty that these dragon blood strains have died.
Although all of the dragon blood strains in front of him were dead, from the scale of this dragon blood strain group, Chen Ziyang could still see the madness of the dryad back then.
Just one dragon blood plant in the Bohai Palace has so many bones under it, and even the bones under the dragon blood plant are bottomless, so how much blood does this endless dragon blood plant in front of it need to absorb to grow to its current scale? The answer is absolutely smacking.
And this large group of dragon's blood plants is only a part of the root system of the Dryad, considering the scope of the Dryad's root system and the scale of the Dryad's body, Chen Ziyang felt that he could no longer imagine how much blood this Dryad had sucked. This strengthened his determination to kill the dryad.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang patted Yang Lei on the shoulder and motioned for Yang Lei to follow him. So he found a gap between the two dragon blood plants and got in.
In this space, the dragon's blood plant grows densely, and it has covered the ground of the entire space, but fortunately, the branches of the dragon's blood plant are slightly wider than the main trunk, so there are some very narrow gaps between the two dragon's blood plants, which can be used by Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei to walk through.
As they walked forward, the two of them couldn't see anything else at all except the dead dragon's blood strain, and these dragon's blood plants grew irregularly, squeezing one plant after another, covering the surroundings tightly. These dense dragon blood strains, in addition to making the two of them move forward very slowly, also disorient them at the same time.
"It's not going to go on like this." Chen Ziyang, who had been walking through the dragon blood strain group for a while, thought.
If you go forward without any references, you are likely to make a lot of detours, and even the worst case scenario may be, that is, after two people have traveled for a long time, they are now lost, or even completely reversed, and return to the starting point, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang took out the Xuanming Ancient Sword and tried to slash a few times on these dragon blood plants, but now these dragon blood plants are as hard as the root system of the tree demon, even if the sharp Xuanming Ancient Sword is cut up, it can only cut off a small piece. It is impossible to carve out a passage here with the Xuanming Ancient Sword.
Just when Chen Ziyang was in trouble, suddenly he heard a series of strange sounds that had appeared before, and a crashing sound mixed with a person's low roar came again.
This time, Chen Ziyang was a little anxious. If these voices were lost again, it would be more difficult for him to find Instructor Liu and the Dryad. However, in these narrow passages squeezed out by the dragon's blood plant, there was no vision at all, nothing could be seen at all forward, and only the branches of the dragon's blood plant could be seen upward.
At this time, Yang Lei's unintentional words reminded Chen Ziyang, who was in a hurry.
"Eryang, look at the place where these dragon's blood plants grow, why are there some strange patterns on these roots? We've never seen these patterns before. ”
