Chapter 44 Han Li and the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Fungus! [New book, please read!]
As they ventured deeper into the Crimson Forbidden Land, the terrain became increasingly complex. Meng De, dressed in black robes, gradually lost contact with Han Li. However, thanks to the vague location provided by the scout mosquito, Meng De was still able to guess Han Li's approximate location.
Should they continue deeper into the Crimson Forbidden Land, or even reach the small grotto described in the original work? Meng De had a good grasp of his own strength. With his current power, if he encountered any trial participant alone in an area where the mosquito swarm had not yet fully covered the land, he might find himself in a rather chaotic situation.
"There are no mosquitoes to cover us here, so we have to be careful." Meng De, who was dressed in a black robe to conceal his figure, looked at the thick fog that shrouded the core area of the valley and took out another kind of flying mosquito that looked like transparent glass from his spirit insect bag - the Dream Mosquito.
There weren't many Dream Mosquitoes; Mengde released only one hundred, letting them perch on his body. As the transparent wings on the back of the Dream Mosquitoes vibrated slightly, Mengde's figure gradually became illusory, even merging with the surrounding thick fog, and his biological aura silently disappeared.
【Original Blood Catalogue: Dream Mosquito】
[Special Talent: Aura Concealment, Dreamlike Scales]
As a special spirit mosquito that Qingli obtained from Fox Hill Taoist, and which Mengde then successfully obtained from Qingli, it is currently the highest quality and rarest spirit mosquito in Mengde's possession. It is one of Mengde's trump cards for self-protection.
Mengde only possessed these three types of spirit-grade flying mosquitoes. Other Core Formation elders of Spirit Beast Mountain should have also made some progress, but they were too far away, and Mengde had no suitable reason to visit them, so he was unable to obtain them.
As the dreamlike scales released by the dream mosquitoes attached to his body scattered across his body, Mengde's aura gradually became ethereal and indistinct. Then, Mengde began to delve deeper into the core of the forbidden area.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
After lurking deep within the complex terrain of the forbidden area for an unknown period of time, Meng De suddenly looked up and noticed a group of female cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect flying overhead. His eyes flickered slightly.
Just then, the scout mosquitoes that Mengde had sent out suddenly reacted. Mengde immediately caught one from beside him and, by carefully observing the rhythm and direction of its echo, roughly determined what the scout mosquito had discovered.
"Flesh and blood without movement... the scent of spiritual herbs... a demonic beast? A demonic beast and a spiritual herb?" Because Mengde had been sending out scout mosquitoes all the way, the density and range of influence of the scout mosquitoes decreased the deeper he went into the forbidden area, but Mengde judged that the information transmitted by the scout mosquitoes was actually strengthened, after all, there were too many interfering factors.
Meng De glanced up at the direction deep within the core, then at the place where the scout mosquitoes had issued the "encirclement signal." After only a moment's hesitation, he immediately changed direction, avoiding the route through the core of the forbidden area, and stealthily made his way to an area near the core that was covered by thick fog.
"At this point in time, most of those Qi Refining Level 13 cultivators should be in that direction; the risk is too high." What Meng De needs most right now is simply to wait patiently.
Since the Crimson Forbidden Land is a closed space with a limited total area and abundant resources, Mengde only needs to wait until the fourth day when the swarm of Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquitoes on the outer perimeter begins to take shape. Even someone at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining could perish in the swarm if they are not careful.
In a sense, Mengde's Zerg swarm system can be described as... a dungeon terminator.
If Han Li's "Dungeon Wipe Initiator" simply means that playing dungeons with Han Li easily triggers a party wipe event, then Meng De's "Dungeon Terminator" targets not only people, but also the dungeons themselves.
If they were in a wide-open area, Meng De would have to admit that each of these cultivators from the Seven Sects at the twelfth or thirteenth level of Qi Refining could probably crush him. He wouldn't even have a chance against the old man from Huangfeng Valley at the tenth level of Qi Refining!
But this is the Crimson Forbidden Land, a closed dungeon... If Mengde hadn't only been given five days to complete the operation, he himself couldn't have imagined what the final outcome would be.
......
Meanwhile, deep within the forbidden area, when Han Li discovered that the Crimson Flame Mosquito in the glass bottle in his hand had stopped moving, he pondered for a moment, then wrapped it up and tossed it into a brand new primary storage bag.
"That guy who calls himself Mosquito Taoist... seems to be brewing some unknown secret... I'd better be careful." Han Li knew that there would be some risks in bringing the Crimson Flame Mosquitoes, but he found that he couldn't do without them.
Han Li was an extremely cautious person, always subconsciously leaving himself a way out. The Mosquito Daoist's words were quite clear: the other party seemed to possess the means to wipe out everyone?
"Through flying mosquitoes? Or...through these spirit insect-level flying mosquitoes?" Han Li had also learned many cultivation arts, so he had some understanding of insect control and knew that the Crimson Flame Flying Mosquito in his hand was clearly a spirit insect different from other mosquitoes.
"Mosquito Taoist...from the Spirit Beast Mountain?" Han Li was actually somewhat suspicious of Mosquito Taoist's true identity, but judging from the other party's current behavior, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Based on the principle of self-preservation, Han Li ultimately decided to pay close attention to the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Fungus that Mosquito Taoist mentioned.
"I didn't expect that the Crimson Forbidden Land would actually possess spiritual herbs that can help one break through to the Core Formation stage... It seems that this place is not as simple as I imagined..." The main reason why Han Li was willing to pay attention to the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Mushroom was that he himself wanted to keep a portion.
Although the Core Formation stage is still a long way off for Han Li, it's not a bad idea to make preparations in advance.
Just as Han Li was pondering the identity of the Mosquito Daoist, he passed through the mist and discovered a stone hall that had appeared ahead of him. After a slight hesitation, Han Li decided to go forward and investigate.
Under a sky thick with dark clouds, the stone palace, almost blending into the mist, was riddled with cracks, bearing the marks of time and natural weathering. Only parts of the stone palace remained intact; the rest were collapsed ruins.
Han Li walked alone through the ruins of the stone palace for a while, and unexpectedly discovered a cave under a boulder deep within the ruins.
After checking whether the cave below was safe, Han Li hesitated for a moment, then pinched a talisman in his hand and quietly sneaked in.
"This...an abandoned herb garden?" Han Li was stunned the moment he entered the cave, because he smelled a very faint medicinal fragrance mixed with a chilling aura!
"Nine Nether Cold Spring Grass... Dark Blood Fruit..." As Han Li ventured deeper into the abandoned cave, he discovered two spiritual herbs with yin-cold properties that were hard to find in the outside valleys!
"The age seems to be quite high..." Han Li glanced at the two spiritual herbs, subconsciously swallowed, and then a flash of inspiration struck him. He immediately headed to the depths of the underground herb garden!
really!
"Lingzhi! Seven-leaf Yin Blood Lingzhi!"
"No, the number of leaves is wrong!"
