Chapter 87 Taking advantage of a crisis
Chapter 87 Taking advantage of a crisis
Huang Hong squeezed the blood ginseng in his hand. The ginseng wriggled slightly and made a whimpering sound like a small animal. It didn't look like a plant, but rather like some kind of life.
The next moment, the blood ginseng disappeared and was put into Huang Hong's spatial capsule.
Because there's an extra loading slot, Huang Hong uses the space capsules for convenience, so he can open a storage space at any time.
Furthermore, he has enhanced the space capsule to a rare quality, and the space inside is sufficient.
Next, Huang Hong harvested several more blood ginseng using the same method. However, perhaps because he was located on the outskirts, the quality of these blood ginseng was not very high.
Huang Hong decided to venture deeper into the Crimson Forest to find more high-quality blood ginseng, which would increase his chances of winning.
Two days later, Huang Hong was already deep in the Crimson Forest. Although he could still go deeper with his strength, the risks would also increase significantly.
He glanced at the inventory in the space capsule, pondered for a moment, and felt that it was enough, so he decided to return.
Just as Huang Hong was about to walk out, he suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction to the side, where he sensed the fluctuations of battle.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Hong carefully crept over.
"Hahaha! It's a blood and flesh swamp!! This is a blood ginseng farm; the number of high-quality blood ginseng here must be astonishing!"
"That's not all! There might be an even rarer Blood God Ginseng in the Blood and Flesh Mire. If we can get our hands on it, we'll be set for life!"
"Brothers, what are you waiting for! The fortune is right in front of us, charge! Awooo!~"
"Go go go! Awooo!~"
Among the dozen or so orcs, the werewolves activated their beast form, growing taller and completely losing their human shape, but correspondingly, their strength and speed were greatly increased.
What blocked their way was a grid of dense aerial roots, and behind the aerial root grid was a swamp of rotting flesh and blood, which churned and writhed from time to time, like the intestines of some giant creature.
When Huang Hong arrived nearby, the battle had been going on for quite some time. Several werewolves had been pierced and torn apart by the air roots, and their flesh and blood had been thrown into the mud. However, the remaining werewolves were still fearless and frantically charged at the air root grid.
Huang Hong focused his attention on the bloody swamp behind him. In the enhanced perspective of the Myriad Manifestations, there were a large number of blood ginseng there, at least thirty or so, and their quality was generally higher than those he had found before.
More importantly, at the heart of the quagmire, there is an even more dazzling light—the Blood God Ginseng, which is even rarer than the Blood Ginseng itself.
If Blood Ginseng is the bridge to the Alchemist Guild, then Blood Divine Ginseng is enough to impress the top Alchemists and make them your close friends, relatives, and brothers.
As the battle continues, more and more aerial roots are awakened and join the grid, along with more nutrients. It can be seen that those severed aerial roots are rapidly recovering under the nourishment of nutrients.
If things continue like this, they will not only fail to harvest the flesh and blood swamp, but will also be trapped and die here.
Thinking of this, the lead werewolf howled, "Berserk!"
Upon hearing this, the other werewolves also howled, their bodies swelling once more, and wisps of blood-red mist swirled around them, dyeing their fur blood-red as well.
After going berserk, the werewolves' strength increases again, but as a result, their sanity also decreases significantly and disappears rapidly.
If they cannot end the battle before their sanity completely collapses, they will forget their goal and fall into an endless battle until they tear apart all the enemies in front of them or die themselves.
Clearly, even if they were ten times stronger, they couldn't possibly eradicate all the life roots deep within the Crimson Forest. Therefore, once their sanity reached zero, it meant their inevitable death.
For the werewolves, this was a life-or-death gamble!
The werewolves were already close to breaking through the air-root grid's defenses, and now, after going berserk, their advance speed increased dramatically, greatly increasing their chances of winning this gamble.
This is assuming there are no other disruptors.
Seeing the rapidly changing situation on the field, Huang Hong's eyes lit up. He changed direction and began to quietly approach the blood and flesh quagmire.
The direction in which the werewolf attacks exerts pressure, so the air root grid in other directions naturally becomes sparser.
It wasn't until Huang Hong was within a hundred meters of the blood and flesh swamp that the Qi Root Grid sensed something was wrong and began to strangle him.
Now that he had been exposed, Huang Hong naturally stopped holding back and unleashed his inner energy.
Huang Hong's "qi" is no longer the somewhat chaotic white it was at the beginning, but has turned into a golden yellow, filled with a majestic and grand feeling.
The bursting "qi" transformed into a giant golden tiger around Huang Hong, releasing a sacred aura that made all beasts bow down and all things submit!
"Buzz!~"
Golden claw marks crisscrossed, shattering the hundred-meter-long grid of air roots. Huang Hong's figure transformed into a leaping tiger, crossing the hundred-meter distance in a flash and arriving in front of the blood and flesh swamp.
Huang Hong moved his hands in quick succession, cutting and collecting at the same time, taking all the blood ginseng into his spatial capsule wherever he went.
The werewolves naturally saw Huang Hong, the intruder. Their reason was already on the verge of collapse, and seeing the latter so brazenly reaping their spoils, they were immediately enraged. Several of them completely lost their minds and turned into beasts who only knew how to kill.
Huang Hong glanced in the direction of the werewolves, then ignored them.
The blood and gore swamp is not without danger; on the contrary, it is filled with layers of deadly intent.
The flesh and blood swamp itself has the ability to erode flesh and blood. Once flesh and blood life enters it, it will be eroded into only bones in a short time, and soon the bones will turn into dust.
In addition, fleshy roots will constantly emerge from the bloody swamp, attacking intruders and attempting to drag them into the depths of the swamp.
However, these methods were naturally insufficient for Huang Hong. While he was collecting the blood ginseng, golden claw marks appeared nearby from time to time, severing all the fleshy tentacles that reached out.
At the same time, a powerful 'qi' surrounded him, rendering the erosion of flesh and blood swamps completely ineffective.
The area of the blood and flesh swamp was not large, only about the size of a football field. Huang Hong simply circled around it, regardless of the quality of the blood ginseng, even if it was a seedling. He collected everything he passed through.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the center of the blood and flesh swamp, where the Blood God Ginseng was located.
At this moment, the area was already enveloped by layers of fleshy tentacles, preventing Huang Hong from entering.
Huang Hong sneered, assumed a posture of gathering strength, and layer upon layer of power gathered in his hands, finally exploding with a roar!
