"But it's been so long since King Sipan died. No matter how much blood food he had, he would have eaten it all. Besides, the human body will rot."
"Indeed, it seems that some changes have occurred here. Xiaoliu, Guoer, you wait and follow me closely. It seems that this trip will not be so simple. It is too strange to encounter a blood spirit just after entering the door. By the way, Guoer, take out that thing."
Chen Lufu said something to Yunniang that Long Xiangtian could not understand.
It seemed that this was not the first time that Yunniang had encountered such a situation. She nodded and took out a small cage from her backpack. There was a mouse running around in the cage.
"Master, what are you doing?" Long Xiangtian asked in surprise.
"Let it explore the way first. We can smell the smell of blood in the air. The murderous aura of this blood spirit is not comparable to that of ordinary blood spirits. If it really doesn't work, we will have to retreat and find another way."
Long Xiangtian was secretly surprised. Even a master as powerful as Chen Lufu actually had to avoid him? Long Xiangtian couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this creature called Blood Spirit.
Yunniang put the mouse on the ground, and the mouse sniffed around on the ground. Yunniang then took out a small piece of dried meat and shook it around the mouse. The mouse was extremely hungry, and it squeaked at the smell of the dried meat. Yunniang raised her hand and threw the dried meat into the depths of the cave, and the mouse ran out following the smell.
Gradually, the sound of the mouse faded away until it disappeared.
There was no movement. Chen Lufu frowned again.
"This isn't right. It stands to reason that the blood spirit wouldn't go and catch such fresh blood food. Why is there no movement at all?"
Long Xiangtian looked at Chen Lufu's appearance, and suddenly a question came to his mind: "Master, does the blood spirit you mentioned have intelligence?"
Chen Lufu shook his head. "No. The blood spirit is actually similar to the zombies we usually know. Zombies rely on a breath of dead air to support the operation of the body, while the blood spirit relies on evil spirit to support the consumption of energy. It only has the most primitive instincts... Wait, are you saying that this blood spirit has intelligence?"
Chen Lufu immediately understood what Long Xiangtian meant, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
Long Xiangtian nodded: "I'm just guessing. After all, the smell of blood is so strong here, the chances of a blood spirit being present should be very high. However, it turns a blind eye to fresh blood food, so it's very likely that it has already set its sights on us."
At this point, Long Xiangtian himself felt his scalp tingling. Imagine that in the dark, an unknown creature you have never seen before is staring at you, treating you as prey. Even the bravest person would feel a little scared, not to mention that it is in a place like a tomb, which is full of horror.
Chen Lufu fell into deep thought, wondering whether to advance or retreat.
At this moment, the three of them felt something strange in the cave, because a breeze blew in this enclosed space.
Chen Lufu's face changed and he shouted loudly: "Get down!"
Long Xiangtian didn't have time to think, and pulled Yunniang beside him to the ground. The moment they lowered their heads, a strange energy passed over Long Xiangtian and his friends' heads and landed on the wall next to them. With a hiss, it sank into the wall in Long Xiangtian's horrified eyes, leaving only a deep mark.
Chen Lufu jumped up from the ground immediately, dropped his backpack, and rushed into the darkness ahead like a cannonball. With a muffled bang, Chen Lufu seemed to have fought with something, and then Long Xiangtian heard a shrill scream.
The barking sound was very strange and did not sound like a human voice at all. If you had to say it, it was more like a wild dog being strangled by the neck. The squeaking sound was extremely creepy.
Long Xiangtian was afraid that something might happen to his master, so he wanted to go over to help. As soon as he stood up, Chen Lufu walked over with a gloomy face, holding a trembling creature in his bloody left hand.
Long Xiangtian took a closer look and found that it was actually a dog, but it was a skinned dog.
Long Xiangtian had never seen such a scene before, and his stomach suddenly churned. If Long Xiangtian had not been determined, this one glance would have been enough to make him vomit for a long time. On the other hand, Yunniang seemed to be accustomed to the scene in front of her, and she didn't even look at Xue Ling. Long Xiangtian couldn't help but admire her.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Long Xiangtian said to Chen Lufu: "Master, is this the Blood Spirit?"
Chen Lufu's face was not very good. He threw the blood spirit on the ground and nodded: "This is indeed a blood spirit, but it is different from what I usually see."
"no the same?"
"Well, the blood spirits I usually see should be incorporeal."
"No entity? Then how do they eat?"
Chen Lufu explained, "Before they take shape, blood spirits are actually no different from zombies. As they continue to eat blood, they eventually evolve into blood spirits. The most important thing about evolving into blood spirits is that their bodies will be corrupted by the evil spirits and the blood they swallow, forming a very strange blood-colored energy. Only when the blood-colored energy completely replaces the flesh and can be used to kill people, can it be considered a complete blood spirit."
Long Xiangtian nodded, looked at the dead Blood Spirit on the ground, frowned and said, "So, this dog is not a complete Blood Spirit?"
However, the answer given by Chen Lufu was beyond Long Xiangtian's expectations: "No, it is a complete blood spirit."
"But he still has a body." Long Xiangtian asked in confusion.
Chen Lufu said in a deep voice: "This is also what I care about the most. I just fought with it, and it has indeed reached the point where it can release energy, but it also has a complete body. There is only one possibility for all this."
"What is possible?"
Yunniang at the side suddenly interrupted and said, "This blood spirit is kept in captivity by humans."
Long Xiangtian was startled: "Raised by a human?"
Chen Lufu nodded, squatted down and turned the blood spirit over. He reached out and took a scalpel from Yunniang who had already prepared it, and actually dissected the blood spirit directly. Immediately, a stream of fishy blood flowed out of the blood spirit's body.
Long Xiangtian almost couldn't control his churning stomach.
Chen Lufu looked at Long Xiangtian with appreciation, as if the scene and the pungent smell in front of him had no effect on him, and said, "You performed well. If it were someone else, they would probably be dumbfounded if they encountered a blood spirit on their first mission, not to mention such a disgusting blood spirit."
Long Xiangtian forced a smile, suppressing his discomfort and watching Chen Lufu's next move.
Chen Lufu's technique was very skillful. In just a few breaths, the blood spirit was dissected into a flat surface, with the flesh and bones separated.
Long Xiangtian was surprised to find that the blood spirit's muscle structure seemed to be different from that of ordinary creatures. It was in a honeycomb shape, and the dense holes made Long Xiangtian's scalp explode again.
Chen Lufu couldn't help but frown, and then, in front of Long Xiangtian's astonishment, he actually reached his hand into the blood spirit's heart. The heart, which was only half the size of Chen Lufu's fist, was immediately stretched open, and accompanied by a strong stench, a red sphere was taken out by Chen Lufu.
Long Xiangtian felt some slight energy fluctuations from the red sphere.
