Liu Qian believed that he and others could still tell whether it was a strange beast or a plant. However, Meng Xuan's words now told them that what they thought were plants were actually strange beasts. How could he not be surprised
"That's because you don't understand the bloodworm."
Meng Xuan glanced at Liu Qian and continued, "The blood thorn worm is a very special beast. It is a worm in its larval stage, but once it enters adulthood, it will transform into a tree-like existence."
What
After hearing Meng Xuan's explanation, Yang Qi and the other six were stunned, and a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on their faces.
"There are such strange beasts?" Zhou Yi said with disbelief.
"There is nothing strange in the endless universe."
Yang Qi sighed and continued, "I have also heard of some special beasts that can regularly transform between plants and living creatures, but I didn't expect that this blood thorn can move freely after transforming into a plant form."
Even though he had never been exposed to cultivation, Yang Qi knew about a special creature, Cordyceps sinensis, which could continuously transform between animals and plants. However, Cordyceps sinensis was completely different from the blood thorn insect mentioned by Meng Xuan. After all, the Cordyceps sinensis transformed into grass could not move, and it was even more impossible for it to have the terrifying power of the blood thorn insect.
"Brother Xuxing, have you heard of similar strange beasts?" Meng Xuan couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise on his face when he heard Yang Qi's words, and then continued, "As far as I know, blood thorn worms are very special. In my memory, I have never heard of the existence of similar blood thorn worms."
Meng Xuan has lived for quite a long time and has a lot of knowledge and experience, but as far as he knows, only the bloodthorn worm has this special ability.
“I just heard other practitioners mention it when I was traveling in the endless universe.” Yang Qi said with a calm smile.
Yang Qi has been traveling in the endless universe for many years and has a broad vision and knowledge, but this is the first time he has seen a strange beast like the blood thorn worm, otherwise he would have figured out the origin of the blood thorn worm long ago.
Hearing this, Meng Xuan could not help but nod his head. Just as Yang Qi said, there are all kinds of things in the endless universe. Although he had never heard of the existence of blood thorn worms in his memory, he was skeptical that blood thorn worms were unique in the endless universe.
"Bloodthorn insects can devour special minerals, purify them, and attach them to their bodies to form natural armor." Meng Xuan paused here, then continued, "In addition, after reaching adulthood, they transform into plant form. The life breath of bloodthorn insects is extremely weak, so it is difficult to sense. Practitioners who are unaware of the situation may easily mistake them for plants."
I see!
Following Meng Xuan's explanation, Yang Qi and the other six also understood why they could not sense the life breath from the blood thorn worms before. Firstly, it was difficult to sense the life breath of the blood thorn worms after they became adults, and secondly, it was because of the special armor on the blood thorn worms, which made it even more difficult for practitioners to sense their life breath.
Meng Xuan looked at Yang Qi and the other six people in front of him and said slowly, "In fact, although the blood thorn worm is special, once you encounter it once, even if you don't know the origin of the blood thorn worm, you generally won't be fooled a second time."
Yang Qi and the other six nodded when they heard this. They had encountered blood thorn worms before, and although they didn't know their origins, they knew they were extraordinary. If they encountered them again, they would definitely be more careful. This kind of strange blood thorn worm was only encountered for the first time, and they might suffer a loss when they didn't know its origins.
"The real trouble with blood thorn worms is that they are semi-social beasts. Once you encounter one, you often encounter not just one blood thorn worm, but a group of blood thorn worms." Meng Xuan glanced at Yang Qi and the other six, and then continued, "Once you encounter a group of blood thorn worms, it will be very dangerous even for a small team of cultivators."
After hearing this, Yang Qi and the other six nodded secretly. The truly terrifying thing about blood thorn worms is that they are alien beasts that live in groups, and they can even cooperate with each other. Although they cannot match the cooperation of blood soul worms, a large number of blood thorn worms can still pose a considerable threat to practitioners.
Yang Qi looked at Meng Xuan in front of him, frowned slightly and said, "Brother Meng, the blood thorn worm is so special, why is there no record of blood thorn worm in the Blood Soul Sea?"
This was the first time Yang Qi had encountered a strange beast like the Blood Thornworm in all his years of wandering in the Endless Universe. If such a strange beast had been discovered many times, then the news about the Blood Thornworm would have spread throughout the Blood Soul Sea. However, not only Yang Qi didn't know about the Blood Thornworm, but even Liu Qian, Wu Xin and others didn't know anything about it.
You have to know that the ancestors of Wu Xin's lineage had at least been deep into the Blood Soul Sea and close to the existence of Baizhuan Lake. But even so, Wu Xin didn't know about the blood thorn worm at all, which was a bit unreasonable!
"this… "
Hearing Yang Qi's question, Meng Xuan was slightly startled, and then he became a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Liu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Brother Meng, now we are all trapped in the formation, and we are also facing the threat of blood thorn worms. If we don't work together, it may not be easy to escape."
"Okay, let me tell you." Meng Xuan sighed softly, and then continued, "It's not surprising that you don't know about blood thorn worms, because blood thorn worms basically live in the Jedi and will not leave on their own initiative. In fact, when we saw the blood thorn worms before, we were also very surprised."
A strange beast living in the Jedi
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi and the other six were stunned at first, but soon they understood. No wonder few practitioners in the Blood Soul Sea knew about the blood thorn worms, because there were too few practitioners who had been to the Jedi.
However, Meng Xuan and his companions actually knew about the blood thorn worms, and knew that the blood thorn worms lived in the Jedi, which was consistent with their previous guess. Meng Xuan and his companions not only knew the value of the Blood Soul Jade, but even their ancestors had used the map to go to Baizhuan Lake and even the Jedi behind Baizhuan Lake. It was because of this that they knew these things.
"Brother Meng, have you ever been to the Jedi?" Yang Qi looked at Meng Xuan in surprise, and then continued, "Isn't it said that even a high-level Martial Emperor would be in danger of perishing if he went deep into the Jedi?"
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Liu Qian and others were shocked. They had always wanted to know about Baizhuan Lake and even the Jedi, but it was not so easy to understand these things. First, they had to find a cultivator who knew these things, and the other party had to be willing to tell them. Therefore, until now, their understanding of Baizhuan Lake and even the Jedi was very limited.
Now everyone has joined forces with Meng Xuan and his group, and Meng Xuan and his group obviously have a certain understanding of Baizhuan Lake and even Jedi. Perhaps they can learn something about Baizhuan Lake and Jedi through Meng Xuan and his group. (To be continued)
