1244 Blood-sucking
In the blink of an eye, Fang Heng felt that his body was entangled by the huge tentacle. Then, a huge strength pulled him toward the wall!
“Fang Heng!”
Tang Mingyue was anxious. She raised her hand and a light green scroll appeared.
Wind blade, thousand dance.
A dense light green wind-type spell boomed towards the black tentacle.
“Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!!”
The green wind blade collided with the black tentacle and exploded!
Not only was the spell attack ineffective, but it also triggered the black tentacle’s ferocity!
More and more dark-brown tentacles gushed out from the cracks in the surrounding walls!
Tang Mingyue’s eyes flashed with surprise. She raised her staff high again.
“Ice crystal storm.”
The cold wind howled in the dark space!
The ice-type spell still had no effect on the tentacles!
The ice crystals that quickly appeared on the brown tentacles were completely broken before they could fully condense!
“Chi!!!”
Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly shrank.
What?
The tentacle attached to his body extended fine needles, and they pierced through his skin. Blood seeped out from under his skin and the tentacle greedily absorbed the blood.
A row of more than ten lines of game prompts quickly refreshed his retina.
[Hint: You have been affected by the blood-draining effect of an unknown lifeform. You have received 21 points of maximum HP damage (this damage will slowly increase within 24 hours)…]
Fang Heng was even more surprised.
What kind of monster was it? It was able to absorb his blood, and it was damage that targeted the upper limit of his HP.
Wu Shijiang was hiding behind Warren. Because he was too nervous, his body was trembling uncontrollably.
What was going on?
What were those black tentacles? Even Lord Fang Heng didn’t have the chance to struggle and was controlled by them.
A high-tier spell had no effect on it?
“Fang Heng! Be careful!”
Tang Mingyue realized that the tentacle creature was not easy to deal with, so she took out the most powerful fire spell scroll from her backpack.
She poured her power of the will into the spell scroll, and the entire scroll emitted a scarlet light in her palm.
“Chi! Chi Chi Chi!!”
Eh?
Tang Mingyue’s hand trembled, and she immediately stopped releasing the spell scroll.
All of a sudden, the black tentacle creature that was sucking Fang Heng’s blood seemed to have been stimulated and started dancing crazily.
It was as if they had met their natural enemy. They immediately let go of Fang Heng, who was under their control, as if they had been electrocuted, and retreated back to the bottom of the stone crack at an even faster speed.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
In less than a second, the tentacle lifeform had completely retreated into the cracks in the stone wall and disappeared.
Everything was back to normal.
Ah, this…
Wu Shijiang’s body trembled as he watched the scene before him.
What was going on?
Just now, Lord Fang Heng was about to be controlled. Why did the tentacle creature retreat in the blink of an eye?
It gave him the feeling that these strange creatures were even more afraid of Lord Fang Heng.
Fang Heng was also a little puzzled. He lowered his head and looked at the place on his arm where his blood was just sucked out.
The wound had already completely healed in an instant.
Tang Mingyue took two steps forward and asked in confusion, “Fang Heng? Are you alright?”
“Yes, I am alright.”
He raised his head and saw several people looking at him with questioning eyes. Fang Heng couldn’t help shaking his head.
He didn’t know why, but the tentacle suddenly gave up on attacking.
While thinking, Fang Heng looked at the wall full of holes.
He walked up to the wall and checked it carefully. The black stream-like life form that had been faintly visible in the wall had disappeared.
Perhaps he had sneaked deeper into the wall.
Mo Jiawei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the crisis had passed. He then carefully checked the information he had just obtained through his detection talent and compiled it.
“The thing that attacked us just now was an infected organism. It only has the intelligence of a primitive being, and it fights with its instincts. It can absorb blood to increase its strength, and it might be one of Salvador’s experimental subjects.”
It was a high-level creature, so Mo Jiawei could only obtain very little information through his innate skill.
“It’s the original devouring body…”
Fang Heng muttered to himself after hearing Mo Jiawei’s explanation.
He suddenly understood.
According to Qiu Yaokang’s theory, the original devouring body was also a creature that had mutated under the influence of the ‘demonic seed’ virus, and there was a virus in its body.
And he had a Hila virus of a higher level in his body.
This monster was sucking his blood?
Was he suffering from indigestion?
It was no wonder that they seemed to have seen a ghost and disappeared so quickly after sucking the blood.
After thinking it through, Fang Heng felt a little lucky.
“Let’s go. Don’t worry about it. Let’s continue.”
While speaking, Fang Heng checked the surrounding walls and nodded, “They shouldn’t appear again in the near future.”
Wu Shijiang opened his mouth and wanted to ask Fang Heng how he dealt with these monsters.
Seeing that everyone was already moving forward, he chose to keep his mouth shut and follow the team.
After this round of attacks, the rest of the journey became a little safer.
After seven minutes of walking, the path ahead gradually widened. The potholes on the floor and the surrounding walls had also become flat.
Sandy noticed that something was not quite right and could not help but squat down to check the ground. He let out a surprised sound and frowned, “Fang Heng, the floor and stones here are different. They’re mixed with purple essence crystals, and the proportion is quite high.”
Eh? Really?
Tang Mingyue also squatted down to check, and her eyes lit up.
There was a large amount of purple essence on the floor, so much so that they seemed to be purple stars on the ground.
So much purple essence, if she could take it all away, she could sell it for a large sum of money!
Tang Mingyue pondered in her heart, but she said, “No wonder the Empire’s purple essence has always been short in supply. It turns out that they’ve all been spent here.”
Fang Heng nodded and said, “Yes. It should be the creator’s special arrangement. The purple essence can restrain the demonic seed virus. It also has an effect on the original devouring body.”
Because of the purple essence, this area was relatively safe. Everyone followed the direction of the spiritual power fluctuations coming from the enlightenment stone.
After a while, Fang Heng, who was walking in the front, stopped again and took a look at the game prompt.
In less than 10 minutes, the completion rate of the underground palace exploration mission had increased by almost 200%.
“What’s wrong?”
Wu Shijiang carefully peeked his head out from behind Fang Heng and looked into the distance.
Even further away, it was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen.
Fang Heng’s pupils were covered with a layer of red light and his expression was grave.
Through the night vision ability of the vampire’s double pupils, he saw carts full of enlightenment stone replicas piled up in the depths ahead.
Several black tentacles that he had seen before reached out from the depths and wrapped around the enlightenment stone replicas.
The tentacle was dozens of times larger than the one that had attacked him before, and it would take about three or four people to hold it.
It seemed like they were absorbing the strength of the enlightenment stone.
