After most of the hourglass time.
"Master, successfully controlled it!"
Lei Luo's voice was joyful and excited.
"Jie jie jie jie, the creatures of the land of darkness are really interesting. It seems that after the busy work of this period of time, I will find a chance to go around again. No wonder the old guy has been outside and never comes back."
Lei Luo didn't know who the old monster was referring to, but it was obvious that he should be one of the top scholars in the Grand Duchy.
Rumble rumble.
The old monster stroked the fear tree like a pet, and said quietly: "It's so beautiful."
Lei Luo's eyes were blurred, and he couldn't help stretching out his palm and stroking the tree of fear.
"That's right! The spiritual resonance of thousands of tiny blood worms can actually control such a huge shell, as if building a hive of the spiritual world. It's so beautiful."
hiss…
The mercenaries looked at Lei Luo and the old monster's intoxicated expressions, stroking the sticky surface of the horror tree, their eyelids twitched wildly, and couldn't help but gasped, looking at the two monsters.
beauty
These two guys actually describe this strange tree covered with heads as beautiful?
The mercenaries looked behind the two of them again, Nidalenas pale.
After seeing that she was not like these two monsters, she was relieved.
Corleone handed the control root to Lei Luo.
"I burned its life, and it can only last for about three days. It should help you. Once you find the trace of the blood-born demon, immediately activate the summoning and descending technique, but also pay attention to your own safety, don't be eaten , if you can’t support it, call it in advance.”
"knew."
Lei Luo took over the root controller wrapped in amber spar.
As the mental power poured into the amber, Lei Luo suddenly had a new understanding of this terrifying tree, as if he had the eyes of the sun, and he could control it freely.
The few mercenaries hadn't left yet, Lei Luo smiled and said, "Since we met here, shall we go together?"
Well
Several mercenaries glanced at each other, and the captain looked ugly.
"It's too dangerous here. We have decided to give up this mission and stop exploring. The reward for this mission is simply not something a small mercenary group like us can afford!"
Before coming, everyone had sworn that they must do their best, otherwise they wouldn't have flinched after the female archer was caught by the tree of fear.
But.
After meeting these two magicians and witnessing their various behaviors, everyone realized this task, which seemed to be more than just courage.
Lei Luo looked at the female magician Nidalenas behind her again.
Although the female magician looked older than Lei Luo, in her mid-twenties, out of fear at this moment, she instinctively regarded Lei Luo as an old monster in her heart, acting as if she was a junior.
"I'm really sorry, the danger of this mission has exceeded our ability to bear."
"All right."
Lei Luo sighed, didn't say much, and looked at the old monster again.
"Master, wait for my news."
"Jie Jie, go. After completing this task, you can work in my biological specimen research institute. You little guy has a temper that fits me very well. I don't have an experimental assistant yet, so you can be my assistant."
"good!"
Lei Luo happily agreed, and with the fear tree behind him, he resolutely stepped into the thick reddish mist ahead.
…
The mist is like wisps of smoke, and the visibility is only a few hundred meters.
It's like another world here.
It is completely different from the natural laws of the Hengduan Mountains, even the sunlight seems to be covered with a bloody veil, making it dim.
Quack quack.
A blood crow made a hoarse cry.
Lei Luo looked, and there were blood crows vaguely standing on the cliffs and branches a few hundred meters away, at least thousands of them, too many to count.
I don't know how much there is in the depths of the fog.
"Why so many?"
With a cautious look, Lei Luo left the cliff with the terrifying tree behind him.
hiss!
After a while.
Ten meters away from Lei Luo, a mutant monitor lizard suddenly opened its chrysanthemum-like mouth, and spit out a bloody arrow full of filth.
After the 1024 Night's Guardian Shield blocked the blood arrow, the blood arrow seemed to become a living thing, wriggling on the surface of the 1024 Night's Guardian Shield.
Lei Luo had harvested similar specimens as early as the first floor of the Magic Eye Pyramid.
The branch of the horror tree stretched out behind him, grabbing the mutated monitor lizard violently.
Howls of terror...
Soon, on the branch of the horror tree, there was a mutant monitor lizard's head, with a chrysanthemum-like mouth, howling continuously.
"Strange way of evolution."
Lei Luo looked at the new head of the horror tree, as if a new fruit had grown, and it was still not suitable for the evolution of these creatures in the land of night.
keep going.
Not for a while.
There were dense "croaking" sounds in front of them, as well as the sound of fierce fighting.
Being cautious, Lei Luo finally found something after approaching.
"Sky Knight?"
Impressively, hundreds of blood crows circled around a huge flying bird like a hurricane.
"After entering here, I seem to have become a different kind in this ecosystem. Everything here wants to devour me."
Lei Luo would not worry about this powerful sky knight.
perceived something.
Lei Luo lowered his head and slowly held a blood-sucking worm with dark green, dark red, and light yellow patterns in front of him for observation.
It had already ignored the remaining defensive power of the black dragon-pattern robe, penetrated Lei Luo's skin, and sucked Lei Luo's blood.
It's a pity that Lei Luo's blood contains highly corrosive poison, which was discovered by Lei Luo after the worm died.
"Dangerous stuff."
Put it in a glass storage container.
The surrounding creatures were all attracted by the sky knight. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they hurriedly continued to walk forward. After gradually moving away from the battle area, they saw a dense forest of tall blood-colored giant flowers in the distance.
"These Blood Demon Flowers seem to be much larger than the volume described in the specimen guide."
The giant flower kept wriggling.
These polluted and mutated creatures have become a member of the ecosystem of the land of darkness, which is completely different from the living environment of humans in the land of stars.
Quack quack!
A stream of blood mist spewed out from the wriggling Blood Demon Flower.
A blood crow with its wings spread half a meter out screamed and flew out. Although it was similar to the specimen of the blood crow on the first floor of the Pyramid of the Devil's Eye, there were much fewer malignant tumors on the body surface, and it looked more normal and pure.
"nest?"
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen blood crows flew in the distance.
Lei Luo could even see the remains of human corpses brought by these blood crows!
These blood crows inserted straight into different Blood Demon Flowers from the sky, and the wriggling speed of these Blood Demon Flowers seemed to be several times faster.
After a while.
Under Lei Luo's inner observation, these blood demon flowers spit out two blood crows one after another!
"These Blood Demon Flowers are the mother's nest of the Blood Crow, or... the way of reproduction of the creatures in the Land of Night is completely different from the creatures in the Land of Stars??"
Lei Luo realized something.
These blood crows were born from the plants of the land of darkness!
The plants in the land of darkness also use this as a means of evolution. After collecting ingredients, they breed more and more blood crows to obtain more and more food, and constantly transform the environment here into a living environment of the land of darkness. Destroy creatures full of natural vitality.
"They are transforming the natural environment! These blood crows are the basic ecology of the Land of Darkness, the bottom of the food chain. Only when the bottom food chain is established can higher-level organisms be raised."
Lei Luo took a deep breath.
"It's only been two years!"
"If these night creatures have such an aggressive advantage over the natural creatures in the land of stars, why can the ecosystem of the land of stars remain independent and not be occupied by these creatures of the night?"
Lei Luo thought more and more deeply.
"The ecosystem of Star Curtain Land has rich and diverse species forms, and these night creatures seem to be more inclined to the same tone, with blood and fear as elements. They seem dangerous and powerful, but they must be restrained by a certain link in the Star Curtain Ecosystem , so that the ecosystems of the two places can maintain great differences and independence."
According to the old monster's previous advice, Lei Luo's task is not to investigate the root cause of the mutation of the Blood Demon Flower, but to find traces of the Blood Demon and continue to move forward.
