Chapter 473: Chapter 484: Blood Crystal

In the distance, Qingshui Farm was no longer the way it looked when they left. Now, the entire farm was submerged under a vast sea of weeds, lush and green.

From the distant sky, only the tops of walls and roofs emerge from the sea of grass, the rest is deeply covered by the weeds.

These weeds seem to have been affected by the energy in the air or nourished by the blood from the bodies of evolvers buried underground; they grow extremely sturdy and lush, like small trees crowded together.

Compared to the farm buildings, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vines on the outskirts stand out much more, a vibrant red without a hint of weeds nearby.

Lu Chuan and his companion were able to identify the farm from afar thanks to the ring of Bloodthirsty Demon Vines encircling it.

At this moment, Qingshui Farm, seen from afar, looks like a green circle surrounded by a blood-red ring of Bloodthirsty Demon Vines, with a green inner circle of weeds.

Quickly, Flyer One landed with Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue aboard.

“These Bloodthirsty Demon Vines have not only remained unchanged but have grown quite a bit during this time!”

Gazing at the Bloodthirsty Demon Vines ahead, Lu Chuan remarked with some surprise.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Vines now grew extremely lush; each vine, like a blood snake, had grown significantly thicker, as thick as an adult’s arm, and were interwoven tightly, composing an impenetrable vine wall.

Beneath them lay heaps of stark white animal remains, evidently left by creatures that strayed here and were devoured by the Bloodthirsty Demon Vines.

Perhaps due to consuming large amounts of flesh, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vines can no longer be described as a vine wall; this area has become a Bloodthirsty Vine Forest.

Unlike the thin layer of the past, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vines are now densely packed, at least ten meters thick, continually occupying farm space while the outer Bloodthirsty Demon Vines rapidly spread outward.

I fear that after two or three years, Qingshui Farm will be completely overrun by these Bloodthirsty Demon Vines.

Hiss~hiss~hiss~

Perhaps sensing Ji Ruxue’s arrival, many previously still Bloodthirsty Demon Vines began to move.

The vines shook violently, like countless blood serpents dancing madly, rubbing against each other, producing a series of eerie noises.

“Is that… Blood Crystals!”

Due to these movements, the scene within the vine forest was revealed, and upon seeing the Blood Crystals forming at the vine tips, Ji Ruxue’s eyes lit up.

These Blood Crystals were about the size of pigeon eggs, shaped like blood-red gems, crystal-clear, radiating vibrant blood light.

Only Bloodthirsty Demon Vines that enter maturity autonomously condense Blood Crystals, which have special healing properties and are miraculous for tempering the physical body.

In the past, many evolvers dreamed of tempering their physique with them.

“What are Blood Crystals?”

Upon hearing, Lu Chuan curiously looked at Qiqi.

“Dad, these Blood Crystals are condensed by mature Bloodthirsty Demon Vines, not only possessing healing properties but also greatly enhancing a creature’s physique.

Unless the injuries are particularly severe, consuming Blood Crystals will swiftly bring recovery.

Their ability to enhance physique is an invaluable treasure especially for creatures relying on their physical bodies.

For example, if Dad had enough Blood Crystals, you could promote a seventh-tier physique to eighth-tier ahead of time, gaining the strength to fight against eighth-tier Otherworld creatures.

Additionally, Dad’s zombies can consume them, particularly higher-tier zombies with more robust physiques.”

Ji Ruxue explained the role of Blood Crystals to Lu Chuan.

Understanding the effects of Blood Crystals, Lu Chuan’s eyes gleamed.

These Blood Crystals are indeed a good thing. If enough, not only can his physique be significantly enhanced, but even his Corpse Puppets can benefit.

Especially weaker Corpse Puppets like Flame One; if enough Blood Crystals are consumed, their physical strength will sharply increase, greatly enhancing their survivability.

Lu Chuan instantly decided to take back many Bloodthirsty Demon Vines and enlarge the planting area.

Moreover, he wasn’t worried about feeding them.

Bloodthirsty Demon Vines require a lot of flesh; aliens are the best fertilizer. As long as enough aliens are hunted, Lu Chuan can feed as many Bloodthirsty Demon Vines as he wants.

Once mature, it’s harvest time for Lu Chuan.

“Qiqi, start! This time we’ll take lots of Bloodthirsty Demon Vines back, perfect for producing Blood Crystals.”

Soon, Lu Chuan and his daughter set to work, harvesting the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest before them.

With Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue’s strength, even the resilient Bloodthirsty Vines couldn’t withstand their cutting.

Lu Chuan himself didn’t move but controlled Flyer One, his body shimmering with Spiritual Light, forming sharp black scales.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Spiritual Light condensed black scales sped through the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest like flying swords.

In an instant, many Bloodthirsty Demon Vines extending in the air were severed at their midsections.

Beside him, Ji Ruxue continuously condensed Telekinesis Blades, sharply slicing through the Bloodthirsty Demon Vines, while wielding Telekinesis as invisible giant hands to gather the fallen vines beneath her feet.

In just moments, they had collected a pile of Bloodthirsty Demon Vine tendrils.

The severed tendrils gathered, writhing like sliced blood serpents.

Bloodthirsty Demon Vines have extremely strong vitality and terrifying regeneration ability. As long as these severed tendrils are taken back, planted, and fed with fresh flesh, new entities will quickly form.

Once the harvest seemed sufficient, Lu Chuan called Ji Ruxue to stop.

Then Lu Chuan took some long ropes from his backpack and summoned Flyer One.

Ji Ruxue and Lu Chuan busied themselves with tying the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine tendrils onto Flyer One.

“Done! Qiqi, let’s go back!”

Ten minutes later, Lu Chuan straightened up, looked at Flyer One ahead, and said with a smile.

Currently, Flyer One was almost entirely wrapped in Bloodthirsty Demon Vine tendrils, looking as if it wore a blood-red dress.

However, this weight was nothing for the sixth-tier Flyer One.

“Dad, let’s go!” Ji Ruxue, playing with a piece of Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, nodded.

Immediately, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue sat on Flyer One, returning the way they came.
