Chapter 30: The Tree and the Fruit

After dealing with the extremely shady things, Yu Li suddenly wanted to go back to Qingshi Village to have a look.

Riding the black wind, as he passed the mountain road, he suddenly remembered the bronze masked man who had been poisoned by the corpse.

At this moment, when I looked for it again, it was gone.

Maybe he was eaten by a wild beast, right? Yu Li thought of this, so he didn't take it to heart.

Hei Feng sped up a few more speeds, and after a while, he came to the entrance of Qingshi Village.

Yu Li slowly fell, and finally turned into an entity.

This position was the place where he had fought with the corpse fossil before, and at this moment, he couldn't even find the huge and deformed corpse capital.

This made Yu Li feel strange, it was only a day away, could it be that the beasts on the mountain were so hungry?

Suppressing his doubts, he walked briskly towards the hut where he had been.

To be honest, it's not homesickness, the so-called seeing things and thinking about people is just missing Yu Ruoxian's little girl.

"Huh?" Yu Li squinted, not far away was his own house, but...... There seems to be something "something" in the lush grass in front of the house?

The long blades of grass were overwhelmed by the "thing", and some strange pale cyan cloth was squeezed out of the cracks in the grass.

He wasn't sure now if this weird "thing" had been there yesterday or had only appeared today.

But in any case, caution is the number one priority!

Let the system lock Shenwei first, so that you can easily respond to situations that you may not be able to react to.

Then, the Black Devil's Claw and the Hundred Transformations were equipped together.

He also transferred the Hundred Transformations Divine Weapon to the form of the Immortal Breaking Spear, so that he could use the Eight Hundred Chao Thunder at any time.

Yu Li felt a little safer, and then walked cautiously towards the grass.

Until the distance of nearly two meters, the "thing" in the grass did not react.

Maybe not a living thing?

Despite this, he still didn't dare to relax, this world even has zombies...... It's not alive, but that doesn't mean it's not dangerous.

Raised the Immortal Breaking Spear, aimed the blade at the high grass pole in front of him, and suddenly swept it flat.

Hula!

As if cutting wheat, the tall grass instantly became bald.

Yu Li suddenly saw a human foot, still wearing shoes!

"Who are you!" he shouted, and pounced with his gun, the tip of which was pointed at the figure in the grass.

As long as the other party dares to resist, he will stab him directly!

"I'll go ......" Yu Li had already come to the front, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly couldn't stand it.

It's really a person, but it's a dead man, and it's hard to say it......

The man was a dwarf, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, and had a somewhat round build.

The pale cyan fabric he had just seen was his robe. This person was scattered with this long sword and a dark storage bag.

Those little eyes were desperately open, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they died.

It's normal so far, but look further down...... The corpse's veins erupted, and the swarthy color seemed to peek through the skin.

These blood vessels, no matter their size or thickness, are constantly wriggling one by one...... It was as if there were countless worms crawling and shuttling through the blood vessels.

Until I saw this person's miserable white eyes suddenly beat one by one, and then suddenly burst, and the red and white unknown objects splashed all over the ground......

"Vomit ......"

Yu Li really didn't want to get too close to this, so he quickly took a few steps back, and stood at the door of the house, and then continued to watch from afar.

With a strange "poof" sound, a fat, snow-white worm writhed and slowly emerged from the dwarf's eye-popping socket.

One, two......

Countless snow-white worms writhed their bodies and emerged from their eyes, ears, mouths, and other places.

As more and more worms departed, the green-robed dwarf's body deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, only human skin remained.

After leaving the gnome, the worms regrouped in a patch of grass in the distance, overlapping each other, looking disgusting.

When Yu Li was about to step forward and set fire to them, something strange happened.

Cordyceps?

It was the first thing that crossed his mind, for the worms suddenly froze together as they huddled together.

Then, an inch-long gray plant stalk slowly grows on the top of their heads, and a small bone flower resembles a spores on top of the stem.

Every worm, big or small, begins to "sprout" inexplicably.

Some root-like stuff also punctured their bodies, eventually enveloping all the worms and rooting all the way into the earth.

At this moment, I didn't see half of the shadow of a worm, but instead there was a gray-white strange plant.

It is luxuriant, and a small bone flower at the top grows rapidly, blooms, withers, and bears fruit.

Yu Li looked at this magical and strange scene curiously, and couldn't help but sigh again and again, and wanted to step forward and let the system identify it to see what it was.

It was as if the gray-white plant that had been brushed off its color was still changing, and it began to wilt.

The leaf, which had been flourishing, withered and withered rapidly, but the round fruit grew bigger and bigger, from the size of a thumb to the size of a fist.

Underneath the roots, the part that had been piled up high by countless worms was now rapidly descending, as if absorbed by the roots, and disappeared without a trace.

Yu Li looked at it for a long time, making sure that the strange plant would not change much, and he began to slowly approach the past.

Gently reach out and touch the branch of the plant, and the system will immediately begin to identify.

"Ding!

Name: Corpse Insect Jade Tree

Status: Resulted

Comments: There is a magical insect called the Jade Corpse, and it is rumored that as long as you feed them the corpses of monks, you can get the corpse insect Jade Tree, so as to pick the corpse fruit. ”

Seeing that the system didn't have any special hints, Yu Li reached out and picked off the round fruit the size of a baby's fist on it.

In the next second, the corpse insect jade tree that had been picked off quickly withered, turned into dust in a breath, and scattered with the wind......

"Ding, the identification is complete.

Name: Corpse Fruit

Status: Mature

Evaluation: The fruit of the corpse insect jade tree has a variety of uses, and it is a precious treasure that can not be found for monks who are good at raising corpses. ”

Casually receiving the fruit into the backpack, Yu Li turned his head to look at the dwarf who had turned into human skin.

He now has a lot of questions that need to be answered.

Who is this gnome?

How did he die?

Why did you die in front of your own house?

When did you die, did you leave yesterday?

Who put this jade corpse insect into the dwarf's body?

......

With these doubts, Yu Li slowly walked over, as long as the system is identified, everything that happened in the past can be restored.

First touched the human skin, Yu Li took the initiative to ask for system identification.

"Ding!
