Chapter 68: Underground Space
"What the hell is this?"
Fengyun touched the bright red stone with his hand, sensing a damp sensation in his fingertips.
Rubbing his finger against the stone a few times, he brought his finger to his eyes.
He noticed that his fingertips were stained with a pale red.
I put it on my nose and smelled it, and the smell of blood became even stronger.
"It can't really be blood, right?"
Fengyun felt incredible.
It was hard for him to imagine that there would be blood in such a deep underground.
Assuming that there is really blood on the stone, it must have been there for a very long time, but why hasn't it deteriorated, decomposed, and been absorbed by the soil?
Fengyun was puzzled.
He decided to get his hands dirty, and some questions were not answered just by thinking about it.
He pulled out his king beast tooth knife and stabbed it into the bright red rock, ready to dig it open to see what was going on.
However, before he could exert his strength, an extremely strange thing happened.
Some bright red liquid oozed from the place where it had been pierced by the king beast's tooth blade.
At the same time, an even stronger bloody aura rushed towards the wind and clouds.
"This red stone can't be alive, right?"
Looking at the stone that was still oozing red liquid, a thought flashed through Fengyun's mind that he himself thought was unlikely.
Do you want to keep digging down?
Fengyun hesitated, but this hesitation only lasted for a short time, and he made a decision.
Dig, keep digging down.
If he gives up now, he may not even be able to sleep when he returns.
He cleared the gravel from the stone to the side, revealing a tabletop-sized clearing.
Pulling out the king beast tooth knife, Feng Yun first carefully inspected the blade, and found that it was only stained with some red, and it did not suffer any damage.
Fengyun's heart finally let go completely.
If the king beast tooth knife is damaged, even if the mystery is revealed, it will definitely outweigh the losses.
Although the king beast tooth knife is a little short, it is a little powerless to hunt those huge brute beasts, but it does not prevent Fengyun from liking it at all.
With it, it will become very convenient for him to do a lot of things.
Fengyun plunged the King's Beast Tooth Knife into the red rock once more, reaching the hilt, and then cut a square along the edge of the clearing he had cleared.
Stick your finger into the side of the square close to you, and press until both palms are submerged in the stone, then lift up with force and lift the whole stone up like a peel.
He continued the whole process, and soon a square passage appeared, clinging to the strange tube.
When the depth of the passage was close to two zhang, the king beast tooth knife that pierced the stone finally came with a different feeling.
Fengyun's cutting moves have become more careful.
This time he didn't cut the whole stone off, but just cut out a circle the size of a teacup.
After the king beast tooth knife finished cutting, Fengyun gently picked out the cut part with the tip of the knife, and a small hole appeared in front of him, through.
The cave was not as dark as Fengyun imagined, on the contrary, there was light inside.
Although it is not very bright, with the eyes of Fengyun, you can already see it quite clearly.
Underneath the stone was a large hollow, and as for how big it was, he was not able to see the boundary because of the relatively small opening that had been cut.
Directly below the small hole is a large pool of water filled with red liquid.
A pungent smell of blood gushed out from the small hole in front of Fengyun and hit him directly in the face, making him frown.
He didn't look at it for long, only about ten seconds, and then put the cut stone back and blocked the hole.
He crawled out of the passage, took off his clothes, wrapped a large bag of dirt, covered the small hole that had been cut, compacted it, and he relaxed.
The peep just now not only allowed Fengyun to see the situation in the cave under the stone clearly, but also allowed him to see the true face of the light source in the cave.
They are not natural light, but emitted from the bodies of countless small creatures.
This little creature is not unfamiliar to him, and it can even be said that he is very familiar.
They were the nailheads he had ensnared with the Black Thorns not long ago and mixed into the Forest of Bones with their breath.
It's just that the nail worms he saw in the hollow weren't the same as the ones he saw in the Bone Forest.
Their bodies are no longer plain black, but take on a strange bright red color, which is still shining, making their bodies appear somewhat transparent.
Fengyun didn't know if these blood-colored nails were another species, or if the black nails had drunk blood and had mutated like the ancient tree.
He prefers the latter possibility.
After seeing the appearance of the blood-colored nail worms clearly, Fengyun also saw clearly what they were doing underground.
They sucked blood from the pool of blood, stretched their bodies to a swell, and then crawled into a tube next to the pool in droves.
This pipe is the one that Fengyun dug into the ground along it to find out.
At this time, Feng Yun had already guessed what the huge piece that looked like jade was connected to the root of the mutant ancient tree.
It is a nest, the nest of the blood-colored nail beetle.
After thinking about it, Fengyun crawled out of the pit he had dug and came to the place where the mutated ancient tree and the blood-colored nailhead nest were connected.
He pulled out the king beast tooth knife and urged the power of the totem to infuse it into the blade.
The King Beast Tooth Knife immediately changed, revealing a red light, and the blade began to glow red like a piece of iron that had been continuously warmed.
In about a minute, the entire King Beast Tooth Knife turned crimson.
Taking a deep breath, Fengyun waved his hand and slashed at the nearest whisker.
Skimming by, without the slightest pause.
Fengyun's hanging heart finally began to let go.
Instilled with the power of the totem, it becomes very easy to cut off the roots with the sharper King Beast Tooth Knife
The arms kept waving, and the tendrils were all broken by the king beast tooth knife.
At this time, Fengyun didn't want to know what the inside of the blood-colored nail beetle's nest was like, and how it mutated the dead ancient tree.
He could be sure that if he broke through the nest, the blood-colored nailhead would come out of the nest and launch a merciless attack on him.
He was not willing to take risks.
He had tested the attack power of the black nail head and could not damage him, but the blood nail head was different, he had not tested their attack power and did not want to test it.
He didn't want to risk his life.
Besides, it wouldn't do him any good if he did it, and it would be possible for his plan to take the mutant ancient tree in vain.
Although Fengyun deliberately controlled the movement caused by cutting off the roots in order to prevent alarming the blood-colored nail worms in the nest, thus slowing down the speed of the attack.
But just five minutes later, he was only one step away from success.
The roots connected to the hive were all cut off by him, leaving only the thickest one, as long as it was also cut off, he could carry the mutated ancient tree and leave directly.
Before he started, Fengyun stabilized his mind.
This root is much thicker than the other roots he has cut off, and it will inevitably be much more difficult to cut off, and it may also make a greater movement.
"It's time. ”
Fengyun felt that his mind was completely calmed and unfazed, and he knew that the time had finally come.
Leaning forward, Fengyun slammed his arm and slashed at the last root of the mutated ancient tree.
The speed of the wind and clouds was extremely fast, and the arm seemed to disappear, disappearing in a flash, and then appeared directly in another direction.
"It worked!"
Fengyun didn't need to look at it at all to know that the thickest root had been successfully cut off by him.
He no longer hesitated, jumped up, and without waiting for the mutated ancient tree to fall, he grabbed it, and with the help of his strength, he lifted it out of the pit.
Without the slightest pause, he lifted his feet and flew forward on an ancient tree that was only half cut down.
In the next moment, the half-old tree collapsed and became a pile of flour-like minc.
Fengyun's control of power has indeed reached a fairly high level.
The moment his foot touched half of the ancient tree, the force was evenly distributed throughout its body, not only gaining the maximum reaction force, but also reducing the movement to a minimum.
Wind and Cloud trampled on the ancient trees, using them as stepping stones, and shot out of the Forest of Bones at great speed.
Due to the speed of his speed, some indistinct afterimages appeared behind him, and they dissipated completely after he was far away.
Landing on a boulder about ten zhang away from the Bone Forest, Fengyun couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbidity.
However, before he could finish exhaling the turbid qi in his chest, his face changed suddenly, and he directly threw down the mutated ancient tree and rushed forward.
At the same time, his arm jerked back, like a whip, with a piercing air tearing sound.
"It hurts!"
The corners of Fengyun's eyes couldn't help twitching.
His body twisted vigorously in the air, turning one hundred and eighty degrees, facing the mutated ancient tree that he had abandoned to the ground, his eyes revealing a strong color of vigilance.
The wind and clouds did not fall directly from the sky, but continued to drift backwards.
A small red dot suddenly ejected from the grass and slammed into the face of Fengyun like a bullet.
The speed was extremely fast, and the distance of nearly ten zhang was as if it did not exist, and the red dot appeared in front of Fengyun almost out of thin air.
A cold light shone in Fengyun's eyes.
A white light flew out from his waist, as fast as lightning, and the latter came first, slashing directly at the red dot.
Zheng!
The white light struck the red dot with precision, splitting it in two, but it made a sound of splitting the hard metal, which showed that the red dot was very solid.
Fengyun's body sank down abruptly, landed on the ground, and walked towards the red dot that had been split in half, but the king beast tooth knife in his hand was not put away, it was horizontal in front of his chest, and his expression was still full of vigilance.
As if to prove that Fengyun's caution was not unreasonable, half of the red dots suddenly moved when Fengyun was about a kilometer away from the red dots that had been split in half.
Fengyun subconsciously raised his knife, but he quickly put it down again.
He had seen the red dot clearly.
It was just a blood-colored nail worm in its dying throes, and it wasn't enough to pose a threat to him.
The red dot that attacked Fengyun just now was the blood-colored nail beetle, but I don't know how it followed him outside the Bone Forest and launched an attack on him.
