Chapter 258: The Dragon Pattern Mark, There is a Great Mystery

Real ginseng like this, which is natural and old enough, is rare even in the otherworld.

"If this thing is brought back to school and given to professors to study, maybe it will be a huge gain!"

Leon rubbed his hands excitedly and was about to throw the plastic bucket containing the ginseng into the storage ring.

Suddenly, he felt the dragon pattern on his left arm tremble slightly.

Startled, Leon hurriedly threw the plastic bucket out and turned his head to look at his left arm.

I saw that the strange dragon mark suddenly disappeared, as if it was integrated into his body, and disappeared without a trace.

"It's ......"

Li Ang touched the skin of his left arm and frowned.

"Is it because of the dragon soul?"

Li Ang muttered to himself, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose in his heart, as if he had seen this mark somewhere.

But I couldn't remember it for a while.

He sighed, shook his head, put aside distractions, and continued to search for prey.

It's a large space with many intricate caves, which are like a labyrinth of inscrutable.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the system, it would have been impossible for Leon to find the route and walk in this unknown environment with the help of memory.

He followed the instructions of the system, shuttled through the dark tunnel, and the deeper he went, the ground became damp, and the air was filled with the smell of rot.

"Hmm."

Leon covered his mouth and nose, his brows furrowed.

Wet ground means foul air, miasma will grow faster, and it is necessary to rush to a safe area as soon as possible.

He quickened his speed and passed through several narrow passages, and suddenly there was a wide, straight underground cavern, full of life and life, which was the opposite of the gloomy and cold environment just now.

"Whew—it's finally here!"

Leon breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

The cave is very old, with mottled rock walls covered with all kinds of moss.

The cave exudes a strong fresh smell of grass and trees, and some low plants hang on the corners and stone pillars, with strange shapes and looks quite mysterious.

Leon stood on the trunk of a plant and looked closely, and found that the trunk was densely covered with potholes and cracks, and dark red sticky sap gushed out of it.

"What's that?"

He looked down at the potholes and saw that the juices had gathered together to form small round holes, dense like beehives.

Li Ang's heart froze, and he suddenly remembered that when he killed a lizard python before, its abdomen was hollowed out, and the blood that flowed out collected on the ground, forming this uneven pothole.

"Although the lizard python is ferocious and bloodthirsty, it has a cautious temperament and never falls into other people's traps, let alone exposes its stomach to the enemy, these potholes ......"

Leon stared at these potholes, his eyes flickering: "Could it be that the strange snake I encountered just now was not naturally generated, but was raised by a certain human ancestor?" ”

He suddenly remembered that the snake seemed to have tried to devour himself while he was unconscious.

Could it be that it is a demon beast raised by humans?

Leon narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings, and found that there were countless large pits on both sides of the cave, and there were many dark red viscous liquids in the pits.

Li Ang frowned, hesitated for a second, picked up the plastic bucket, and threw ginseng fruit into the depths of the cave.

Clouds of dark red liquid flowed out of the pit, floating and spinning in the air.

He held his breath, vigilantly watching the movements in the pit while silently keeping a time.

Ten minutes later, the dark red liquid of the crater dried up completely, and the original uneven crater gradually became smooth and smooth, as if it had been washed by water.

Leon relieved himself a little, and turned back the way he came.

……

Sunset.

As night falls, the moon hangs high in the sky, shedding a hazy silver glow.

In the deepest part of the cave, next to a dilapidated stone platform.

"Click, click......"

There was a soft sound, and Leon dragged his heavy tired body out of the dark cave, still holding a large paper bucket containing ginseng fruit in his hand.

"There are three trees in total, which should be exchanged for tens of thousands of dollars......

Leon wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the moon, and suddenly heard the sound of rushing water.

Following the sound, Li Ang's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up in fright.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, there were countless dense schools of black fish swimming in the riverbed.

Measuring several meters in length, these fish are fat, hairy, scaly, and have a strong, powerful tail with sharp, curved spikes.

"These ...... Could it be the legendary piranha? ”

Li Ang swallowed his saliva, his heart pounded wildly, he didn't dare to move, and quietly retreated to the entrance of the cave, ready to wait for them to leave before leaving.

These piranhas are not living organisms, have no physiology, and move through the water completely according to their instincts, constantly chasing food.

Of course, they also have an extremely keen sense of smell, and will not hesitate to attack whenever they smell the breath of strangers.

However, Li Ang has a system to protect himself, but he does not panic at all.

These piranhas are not good at hunting skills, and are better at relying on the advantage of physical strength to scare the strong.

Li Ang estimated the strength of the piranha, which was at least slightly stronger than that of ordinary humans.

However, he has the power of a dragon elephant, and even with his bare hands, he can tear ordinary people apart with his bare hands.

What's more, he still carried a bucket of ginseng juice in his hand, soaked his urine and spilled it, and kept it to drown these piranhas.

Li Ang waited for a while, and after confirming that the piranha was gone, he crept to the edge of the stone platform, squatted down, and reached out to touch the potholes on the stone platform.

"Huh?"

Li Ang was slightly stunned, he found that the surface of the pothole was covered with thick mud, sticky, with a faint fishy smell.

Li Ang approached the pothole and looked at it, and suddenly his face turned pale.

The dirt in this pit is a mucosal structure produced by the molting of the snake.

Moreover, due to the passage of time, the mud is doped with many toxins and has a hallucinogenic effect.

"Shhh

Li Ang took a hard breath, and hurriedly ran the "Dragon and Tiger Forging Body Technique" to expel the poisonous gas in his lungs, and then dipped some mud with his fingers to check it carefully.

"It's ......"

Li Ang's pupils shrank, and he saw pieces of white bones in the dirt!

The skeletons took on the shape of a human, about the height of a boy of three or four years old, and their ribcages had been bitten open, and all the internal organs inside had been devoured.

"It's a piranha!"

Leon gritted his teeth, and immediately realized that he had accidentally broken into the secret lair of a certain human ancestor who raised demon beasts, and it happened to coincide with the piranha breeding season.

Leon took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and fear, and continued to rummage through the dirt, hoping to find more bones and find clues.

Unfortunately, this secret lair has survived for so long that all the bones have been eaten away, leaving only a corrosive pair of artificial armor and a few scraps of metal.

"Looks like it's been eaten by piranhas......"

Leon shook his head in frustration, picking up pieces of armor and artificial armor and stuffing them into his backpack.
