Chapter 240 Hey! Old Man Qi, it’s your turn to do the hard labor!
Although Old Man Qi is sometimes very rude, one has to admit that this old man is extremely strong, even to a level that Zhao Mu currently cannot understand at all.
With just a simple wave of his sleeve, the restriction shattered.
shuh~
As the restriction shattered, the originally dim space suddenly became brighter. Although it was not as bright as the outside world, the dim blue light was enough for people to see everything in the space clearly.
Look up and look.
Zhao Mu discovered that the source of the light was a spiritual plant in the center of the entire space. It looked a bit like a Ganoderma lucidum, but was extremely large, more than ten feet tall, and emitted a faint blue light, which looked a bit strange.
Just taking two glances gave him a creepy feeling. The strange aura seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, which made people shudder.
A careful observation revealed that there was neither spiritual energy fluctuation nor medicinal power around this spiritual plant, and it did not look like a precious spiritual medicine at all.
Weird, weird, very weird!
"Little rich woman, what is this?"
Zhao Mu did not ask Qi Daorong, because he knew very well that the old man would not speak, so he could only look to his wife for help.
"Seven-colored Earth Nether Ganoderma!"
After searching her memory for a moment, Wu Yao gave an accurate answer, "It's a rare and strange spiritual plant that grows on the earth veins. As for its specific function, I'm not quite sure.
However, since it is the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma, then the strange phenomenon the miners saw earlier can be explained. When the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma reaches maturity, it will produce strange phenomena within a certain range, attracting living beings to approach."
"Attracting living beings closer? What does it want to do?"
"Swallow, and then complete the final transformation, and fully mature."
“…”
Zhao Mu was slightly shocked. This was the first time he heard of Ganoderma lucidum eating living creatures!
He speculated that the miners were fine after seeing the strange phenomenon, most likely because the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma looked down on the flesh and blood of mortals! Or perhaps it was because mortals were completely unaware of what the strange phenomenon represented, and only immortal cultivators, demons, and evil spirits would react.
"However, this place, apart from the seven-colored earth fungus, seems to have nothing else..."
"That's not the case. The Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma grows on the earth veins. Due to its characteristic of devouring the earth veins, when it fully matures, it will instantly absorb the earth vein power of the entire earth vein. If it is not completely absorbed and digested, its roots will condense into earth spirit beads.
The Earth Spirit Pearl can be used to assist in cultivation and alchemy. In addition, it can also be used to refine equipment. It has a wide range of uses and is very valuable. According to the current market price, one Earth Spirit Pearl is worth at least a hundred top-grade spirit stones, and is basically out of stock.
After all, Earth Spirit Pearls only appear in earth veins, and earth veins are too difficult to find."
The young rich woman had just finished speaking when she heard the voice of old man Qi again.
"In addition to the Earth Spirit Pearl, there will also be a lot of demon beast inner cores and materials. They will all be yours later."
Yes, if the Seven-Colored Earth Ganoderma wants to fully mature, it must devour living beings.
Can.....
All the monsters that were attracted were swallowed by the Seven-Colored Earth Ganoderma. What else would be left? Besides, the inner elixir is the essence of the monster. Would the Seven-Colored Earth Ganoderma be willing to throw it away?
"What the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma needs is flesh and blood, a large amount of flesh and blood containing energy, rather than inner elixir containing spiritual power, let alone the spiritual materials found on monsters. If it requires a large amount of spiritual energy to mature, the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma will not take root in the earth veins, but directly in the spiritual veins.
All the monsters that come later, as long as they are above the Liquid Transformation Realm, I, this old man, will help to deal with them. The rest, you can handle it on yourselves, no problem, right? "
"Of course!"
Zhao Mu smiled slightly.
He was not laughing at the massive amount of demon beast inner cores and materials that were about to be obtained, nor the unknown number of earth spirit beads, but at the increasingly strong gossipy smell about old man Qi.
On the surface, it seems that Old Man Qi's considerate behavior is intended to prevent him and the young rich woman from suffering losses. In fact, the former's real purpose is to stabilize him as much as possible to prevent him from going back on his word and getting Chi Yanyun to come before the former succeeds in getting the Seven-Colored Earth Mingzhi, which will cause changes in the ownership of the Seven-Colored Earth Mingzhi.
what does this mean?
The person that Old Man Qi wants to give the Seven-Colored Earth Mingzhi to is extremely important to him.
If it's a woman, she's most likely a mistress or old lover!
If it’s a man, wow, it would be even more exciting, hehe!
Before, probably because of the existence of that terrifying restriction, the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma could only emit strange visions through some damaged parts to attract creatures to come closer. The limitation was too great, resulting in the fact that it has not yet had its first full meal.
But as the restriction was shattered by Old Man Qi and the suppression of his spiritual consciousness disappeared, Zhao Mu soon noticed a lot of movement coming from dozens of miles away. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the creatures attracted by the strange phenomenon.
Thinking of the terrifying restriction that left them helpless, Zhao Mu guessed that this seven-colored Earth Nether Ganoderma had probably been discovered a long time ago, but it was not yet mature, so a restriction was set up to protect it.
However, that person didn't expect that he would die before the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma entered maturity!
It really is true that those who plant trees will enjoy the shade!
This senior who set up the ban is such a good person.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the ban was broken, the first monster that was attracted arrived.
The way it appeared was quite special. It actually came out from underground. However, its ability to dig holes needed to be learned from those who played with Luoyang shovels. The position was ridiculously bad. It did not come out from under the colorful Earth Ganoderma, but appeared right under his feet.
bang~
Zhao Mu waved his hand and punched him on the forehead.
The head of the second-level peak ground-horn rhino was really hard. His punch did not directly blow it to pieces. Instead, it hit the stone wall and stood up again, shaking its head.
"The ability of monsters to withstand attacks is much stronger than that of humans!"
Zhao Mu twisted his wrist and sighed. The punch he just threw was not light. If it were the two Transcendent Realm masters from the Weihu Gang, their brains would have been splattered and they would have been killed.
"This is a groundhorn rhino, renowned for its defensive capabilities. Its hide is often used to create inner armor, and its head has an exoskeleton for the strongest defense!"
Wu Yao had no intention of intervening, but she kept giving verbal reminders.
"learn!"
Zhao Mu smiled slightly and rushed forward quickly. Strong defense means slightly slower speed. If your back and head are hard, then I will hit your stomach.
bang bang bang~
He kicked the ground-horn rhino away at an extremely fast speed and followed up with several punches, each punch hitting the abdomen where the defense was weakest. After three or five punches, the ground-horn rhino was beaten to death by Zhao Mu.
After landing, he dissected the ground-horn rhinoceros, collected the inner elixir and spiritual materials, and then threw the flesh and blood to the colorful ground ganoderma. The whole set of actions was completed in one go.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mu saw for the first time with his own eyes the scene of plants devouring flesh and blood.
It wasn't as bloody as imagined, but it was devoured in an instant, leaving only a skeleton, which was chilling.
In the following time, monsters appeared one after another, but there was not a single fifth-level monster, and even third- and fourth-level monsters were very few. The number of times the rich girl took action could be counted on one hand, and Zhao Mu was almost the only one busy.
Obviously, most of these monsters are native to Fuzhi Mountain, so they arrived the fastest.
And this situation finally changed after more than an hour.
Zhao Mu could clearly feel the majestic momentum and fierce aura even though he was dozens of miles away. The oppressive feeling made him feel uncomfortable.
The high-level demon from the Qingniu Mountains is finally coming.
Zhao Mu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Old Man Qi who had been paying attention to the colorful Earth Nether Ganoderma.
Next, it’s the old man’s turn to do the hard labor!
