"Master of the village, although this mandrill has lost a lot of essence and blood, the flesh on his body is still very replenishing."
"If you take it back and cook it for the men in the village, it will definitely greatly enhance their energy and blood and meet their martial arts training needs!"
Then, Lu Zhishen pointed at the mandrill that was beheaded by Ji Ye on the ground and said.
The ancients said that the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts are just because practicing martial arts is a very draining thing.
In particular, practicing internal strength is not like absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth like the "Earth and Stone Art", but is formed by transforming one's own energy and blood. To continue, the most important thing is to supplement all kinds of food!
This was actually difficult to do in Erlong Mountain in the past. After all, it was not really a deep mountain and swamp, and the wild animals in it were difficult to use for hundreds of people to practice martial arts.
However, a large number of monsters have appeared in the strongholds around Erlong Village. In addition, there are currently only a few dozen people in the village who meet the conditions for learning martial arts. They can fully practice martial arts by eating meat.
Especially this mandrill, as a mortal-level creature, contains a large amount of essence in its flesh and blood. A piece of flesh is worth several pieces of ordinary mortal-level creatures.
In fact, the meat of the black snake killed by Ji Ye also had this quality, but because the black snake ate people in the village, no one wanted to eat its meat.
"Don't worry yet!"
"Leader Lu, have you noticed one thing? This mandrill's retreat and escape direction are all towards this direction."
Ji Ye shook his head, and then pointed in the direction of the decapitated mandrill body on the ground.
"But at this distance, it is more like an old horse finding its way through the complicated mountain forest."
"It is said that wild monsters like these will build a cave in the mountains, and most of them will contain some special treasures. I suspect that its cave is nearby. Why don't we go explore it first?"
Ji Ye's face was full of interest.
Of course, this is just speculation based on the settings in some novels, but these creatures in the Land of Inheritance themselves came from legends. This possibility does exist!
More importantly, this world is full of game-like rules, and in many games, powerful monsters guard "treasure boxes."
Lu Zhishen naturally had no intention of rejecting Ji Ye. After all, Ji Ye belonged to the village leader, and what he said was quite reasonable.
As for finding the mandrill's cave, it is not too difficult at all, because Ji Ye is very professional in finding clues in the jungle!
"This is it!"
Soon, Ji Ye found the mandrill's cave. It was a cave located about one-third of the height of the entire mountain. The entrance of the cave was even covered with some vines and rocks.
However, under Ji Ye's powerful eyesight, everyone was found.
After the cover of the hole was removed, the two people's noses immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance. Although they just smelled it, they immediately felt refreshed.
"Is there really something?"
Lu Zhishen's face showed some surprise.
"Well, there's no danger..."
Ji Ye threw a stone in. After it hit the wall and made a violent noise, the monster rushed out of it.
Afterwards, the two of them walked in directly.
The cave is relatively deep and even has two turns. The further you go inside, the darker the light becomes, but the aroma becomes stronger.
After the two of them turned the second corner, a bright light appeared in the already dark cave. It was sunlight shining from a gap connecting the outside with the rock on the top of the cave!
Under the sun, a dark red tree about one meter tall grew in the cave.
The source of that aroma was hanging on the tree at the moment. There were more than a dozen red fruits about the size of a baby's fist. Under the light above, they exuded a crystal light like red agate.
[Red Fruit]
Level: First level of metamorphosis
Quality: Excellent·Rare
Explanation: The descendants of the degenerated red fruit were mutated by being irrigated by a mandrill with a large amount of blood essence. Eating the fruit after it matures can enhance a certain amount of qi and blood, and can also remove some toxicity.
"Increase Qi and blood!"
When the two of them focused their attention, they saw the properties of this plant.
All of a sudden, their eyes widened and their faces looked happy.
For martial arts training, Qi and blood itself are the most needed thing.
Because only sufficient Qi and blood can be transformed into internal force without loss.
In a sense, this "red fruit" can be said to not only enhance the physical fitness, but also increase the internal strength of the eater to a certain extent!
However, the colors of the dozen or so fruits on the tree are not consistent. Some are red and almost transparent, while others are relatively dull, probably due to different levels of maturity.
In addition, there are traces of being picked on it.
Obviously, some ripe fruits have been eaten by the mandrill, which is probably the reason why it can reach the second stage of transformation.
"Hey, not only this fruit, but also the soil on the ground below has properties."
Ji Ye glanced at it and noticed that the dark red soil under this tree was unusual.
[blood and soil]
Level: Transformation Level 0
Quality: ordinary
Explanation: After being infected by the blood of a large number of organisms, a changed soil has been produced, which can meet the growth requirements of some special extraordinary-level plants.
"Well, there are actually a lot of beast corpses in this cave."
At this time, Lu Zhishen noticed that there were many beast corpses around the "red fruit" in the cave.
A one-meter-tall green wolf, a three- to four-hundred-pound wild boar, an adult leopard...
Even Ji Ye discovered the carcass of a Siberian tiger in the cave. Such a creature, which was considered the top predator on earth, was completely hunted in this place of inheritance.
Obviously, because the growth of red fruit requires special soil, in order to meet the requirements, the mandrill hunted a large number of creatures and used their blood for "irrigation", and even bled himself to create this "blood soil".
This also caused the original "degraded red fruit" to mutate and become the current red fruit!
"This mandrill obviously possesses a certain level of intelligence, but fortunately it's not too high."
Ji Ye's heart felt slightly awe-inspiring.
The previous black snake was also very cunning in pretending to be dead. The high-level monsters in the inheritance land definitely have higher IQ than ordinary beasts.
"These two should be familiar. Leader Lu, let's take one for each of us."
Ji Ye reached out and picked two fruits from the blood tree, which had the most obvious smell and were red like blood beads, and shared them with Lu Zhishen.
Some of the corpses piled up in the cave have even rotted. If it weren't for the aroma of the red fruits that suppressed the odor in the entire cave, some strangers would probably not enter this place.
Moreover, judging from the description, the nutrients of the red fruit should also come from the blood of these dead beasts to a large extent.
However, Ji Ye would not give up such a useful fruit just because it was disgusting.
In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence. When he was surviving in the wild, when he really had no choice, he roasted and stuffed the rotten meat, not to mention that the blood and nutrients of these animals had already passed through this plant." The transformation of "Mutated Zhuguo" is considered very clean.
