The Fire Thief Chapter 26 Vampire Vine
The long blood-colored river is rolling with waves.
"What's this?"
Lin Yan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why would such a thing appear in the spectroscopic world?
The conch flower is a plant life. Although it cannot communicate with him through consciousness like Feng Hou, Lin Yan can feel the emotions it expresses through consciousness.
It's a desire that comes from instinct.
His mental power spread out and seeped into the river that looked like fresh blood. The river seemed to be a kind of liquefied blood energy, somewhat similar to the advanced "blood and flesh Ganoderma lucidum", but this kind of blood energy was more refined and filled with a rich breath of life.
"Feng Hou, do you know what this is?" Lin Yan asked consciously.
"I used a scanning instrument to detect it and obtained some information, but this energy is rather special and I can't determine its source." Feng Hou's slightly doubtful voice sounded in Lin Yan's mind.
Here, the shielding technology of the Virtual Universe Company has no effect, so the detection equipment can naturally be used.
Lin Yan nodded.
but……
Lin Yan fell into deep thought: "Why does this feeling... seem familiar?"
It was as if he had come into contact with this kind of blood energy somewhere before?
But he was unable to react for a moment, and couldn't remember where he had come into contact with it. He frowned, thinking hard, and suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Is it possible?"
Lin Yan finally remembered where this familiar feeling came from. His thoughts raced instantly and a guess emerged in his mind.
"Is it related to the 'Divine Tree King'?"
He had a hunch that there seemed to be even greater secrets in this spectroscopic world.
Lin Yan thought for a moment, opened the system, and wanted to see if there were any other changes, but there was no response.
"Uh...it's worth exploring."
Lin Yan pursed his lips, without hesitation, then went straight through the world exit and jumped into the stream of light at the end of the passage.
…
A vast and endless forest world.
Lin Yan, fully armed, walked in the sea of trees.
"The mechanical puppet said that it didn't know about the existence of the world channel. It has already recognized its master and it is impossible for it to deceive me."
"It's just an intelligence, so it's normal that it doesn't know much. If nothing unexpected happens, this should have been arranged by 'He' before he died."
He had always wondered, since the Lord of Spectroscopy was the Lord of the Law of Light, why the world he created was completely different from the worlds of other Lords of the Law of Light, and there was no trace of any law of light at all.
But more like a master of the law of wood.
However, in the inheritance of the Lord of the Spectral Realm, he learned that the master of the Spectral Realm was a top existence among the immortals, the "Divine Tree King"!
Although he couldn't understand any information about being crowned the Immortal King at his level, even a fool would know what this title meant.
Lin Yan glanced around and his ears moved slightly.
“There’s a sound!”
Swish!
The combat boots stepped lightly on the rotten dead leaves, and the whole person disappeared in an instant... Hundreds of kilometers away, Lin Yan's figure was hidden in the crown of an ancient tree that was more than 30 meters thick. Through the green and yellow leaves, he looked at the scene in the distance.
"roar……"
A dragon rock bear that was hundreds of meters tall roared, the earth shook, and violent flames spewed out of its mouth!
call!
Black lightning flashed across the sky, and a black vine that was more than ten meters thick shot into the air... The length of this vine was so long that you couldn't see the end at a glance, as if it went straight to the sky and the earth!
It was boundless and endless, and at first glance it looked like a giant python rolling and winding, wrapping around the dragon rock bear that was spewing flames!
Puff! Puff!
The Dragon Rock Bear's sharp claws fiercely grabbed the entangled black vine, and immediately a visible shock wave spread in all directions, and the towering trees below were shattered by the shock wave.
The long vine suddenly broke, and the front part fell to the ground. Blood actually flowed out of the wound, and then it became stiff, like rotten wood.
But in just a blink of an eye, the black vine showed amazing cell activity, and the broken part was instantly restored.
“Bang !”
The long vine was whipped in the air, producing a huge sonic boom, and it whipped the Longyan Bear on its back like a whip.
The Longyan Bear's eyes were red and it was extremely violent. Its claws were like sharp weapons, waving continuously. The long black vine was completely suppressed for a moment, and broken vines were everywhere on the ground.
Sudden--
One!
Two!
Dozens of black vines surrounded and attacked from all directions. The Longyan Bear was entangled in an instant and couldn't break free. Then an extremely strange scene happened... The roar of the Longyan Bear suddenly disappeared, and then as it was entangled by the black vines, its huge body gradually shrank. When the long black vines dispersed, only a bear skin and dry bones were left scattered on the ground.
…
Lin Yan looked at the screen on his left arm guard, and information appeared on it.
"Longyan Bear (peak period), cosmic level six."
He narrowed his eyes. The sixth-level cosmic-grade Longyan Bear was actually eliminated in such a short time. No wonder the information provided by the Virtual Universe Company indicated that the top of the food chain in the Spectroscopic World was this kind of strange plant life.
Vampire vine!
After he sensed the blood energy, he had a feeling of déjà vu. Then he finally remembered that when he first came to the spectroscopic world, he had encountered a seventh-level star-grade blood-sucking vine. Although he did not kill it, he cut off a section of its vine out of curiosity.
The blood flowing from the vine was very similar to the liquid in the long river of blood.
But it was far less than the energy essence in the blood-colored river, probably because the blood-sucking vine encountered at that time was only of the seventh-level star grade.
He had only fought with the vampire vines that one time, and he tried to avoid them after that, which resulted in a gap of nearly half a year, so he was unable to react at first.
If the nature of the conch flower is to devour flesh and blood life, then the nature of the vampire vine is to absorb the blood of flesh and blood life.
"So, the Conch Flower devours the flesh and blood of life to evolve itself, but these blood-sucking vines are not like that. They refine the blood they absorb, and then all this strange blood energy passes through the world channel and finally flows into an unknown place."
Lin Yan looked thoughtful, what does this mean?
The plant life form of vampire vine is not unique to the spectral world, but it is very rare in the Qianwu Universe. Its normal growth pattern is to increase its strength by absorbing blood. It can be regarded as a completely weakened version of the brake snail flower.
However, the vampire vines in the spectral world do not function in this normal growth pattern, but are instead tools to achieve other purposes.
You know, the spectroscopic world has existed for millions of years, with hundreds of billions of humans and countless ferocious beasts. During this long period of time, the amount of blood energy absorbed by the vampire vine is an astonishing number!
A sharp light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.
Another guess needs to be verified.
If this speculation is confirmed, then what is the significance of the existence of the spectroscopic world?
…
In the world of spectroscopy, burial is a tradition passed down by humans.
The brake snail flower goes deep into the ground and moves.
This is a large burial site for local residents. Lin Yan spread out his mental power carefully.
Suddenly, he and Shaluhua stopped.
He sensed that deep underground, there was a thick black vine buried, like a twisted dragon, with tiny branches growing on the vine, extending upward and connecting to the burial site.
Lin Yan's heart moved.
This phenomenon undoubtedly shows that over the millions of years, the blood absorbed by the vampire vines is not only the blood of the humans and beasts they have killed, but also the blood energy contained in all dead lives.
He became more and more curious.
Where does that long bloody river lead to?
