Chapter 145 Swallowing a Saint-level Dragon Blood Vine, Strength Soars by 1000 Jin!
Behind the twin peaks, deep within the cliffs.
This is the shady side where even moonlight cannot reach. Thorns and vines coil around the ancient trees like snakes, and the air is filled with a suffocating, damp, and decaying stench.
Lu Sheng stood on a protruding rock, his golden dragon eyes gleaming in the darkness, his gaze piercing through layers of mist, fixed on a crack in the rock wall in front of him.
There, the sky was ablaze with red light.
A vine, entirely crimson with scale-like patterns on its surface, is tenaciously taking root in a crevice in the rock.
Shaped like a coiled dragon, it winds upwards, with a drop of blood-red dew gathered on a leaf at the top, emitting a rich, exotic fragrance that makes one's blood boil.
Under the energy vision of the dragon's eye, this plant was like a torch in the dark night, dazzlingly bright.
"Found it."
Lu Sheng's lips curled up slightly, and he was about to take a step.
"hiss--!!!"
A foul gust of wind suddenly swept in from the side and above.
A giant black-scaled python, as thick as a bucket and over twenty meters long, used the color of the rocks for camouflage and suddenly poked out its ferocious triangular head.
It opened its blood-red maw, and two venomous fangs spewed out dark green poisonous mist, heading straight for Lu Sheng's face.
Level 5 Sea Beast - Black Scale Giant Python!
This beast has clearly been guarding the spiritual plant here for a long time, treating Lu Sheng as a free snack.
Faced with this sudden and deadly attack, Lu Sheng didn't even blink.
"roll."
He made a fist with his right hand, and dark golden light instantly condensed.
The Dragon Devouring Spear, weighing 1650 jin, appeared out of thin air, its body trembling and emitting a humming sound as if it were thirsting for blood.
Lu Sheng did not retreat, but instead took a step forward, causing the rocks beneath his feet to crumble.
His arm muscles bulged, and his spear, like a golden dragon emerging from the sea, tore through the poisonous fog with terrifying speed, arriving before the enemy.
"Pfft!"
A muffled thud.
The Dragon Devouring Spear pierced the giant python's vital spot with unparalleled precision. The immense kinetic energy propelled the python backward, finally pinning it firmly to the solid rock wall with a resounding boom!
"Hiss... hiss..."
The giant python writhed wildly, its tail whipping so hard that rock fragments flew everywhere, but the spear remained as still as a rock.
A few seconds later, the python stopped struggling, and its pupils became dilated.
[Ding! Level 5 sea beast - Black Scale Python slain! Dragon Devourer Spear successfully absorbed a soul! Weight increased by 40 jin!]
[Current weight of the Dragon Devourer Spear: 1690 jin!]
[Current Level: Level 6 Spirit Source User (50/2500)!]
Lu Sheng casually drew his spear, and with a flick of his wrist, he shook off beads of blood that turned into streaks of light and vanished.
He didn't even glance at the giant python's corpse, and walked straight to the crimson vine.
A dazzling golden panel popped up:
[Target: Saint-level Spiritual Plant - Dragon Blood Vine]
[Efficacy: Contains a trace of true dragon blood; after consumption, it can greatly enhance physical constitution and purify bloodline!]
"nice one."
A sharp glint flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
In this apocalyptic world, each of these rare and precious plants could create a top-tier powerhouse.
Without any hesitation, he reached out and ripped off the scalding hot, life-like dragon blood vine.
Lu Sheng opened his mouth and stuffed the sacred herb directly into his mouth, chewing it vigorously.
"Snap! Snap!"
The vines didn't have the fibrous texture of plants when you put them in your mouth; instead, it felt like chewing on cartilage. The juice burst open, scalding hot like lava, burning down your throat and into your stomach.
"boom--!!"
The violent medicinal power exploded instantly within his body!
Lu Sheng's skin instantly turned bright red, like a shrimp, with veins bulging out and writhing wildly under his skin like earthworms.
pain!
It felt like ten thousand ants were gnawing at my bone marrow, or like all the bones in my body were being broken and reassembled.
"Ugh..."
Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and let out a low roar.
A series of bone-cracking sounds, like the roar of a dragon, emanated from within my body. It was the cells cheering, the genes leaping forward!
System notification sounds flooded the screen:
[Ding! High-purity energy injection detected! Strengthening the host's body...]
[Physical fitness has greatly improved!]
[Permanently increase base strength by 1000 jin!]
[The duration of the human-dragon form has been extended by 30 seconds!]
Ten minutes later.
The crimson color on Lu Sheng's body slowly faded, and he exhaled a long breath of turbid air, which formed a white ribbon in the air and lingered for a long time.
He clenched his fist, feeling the seemingly endless power within his body.
Normal basic strength: 7387 jin!
If the Dragon Claw is activated...
"8387 jin (240 catties)"
Lu Sheng muttered to himself, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes.
Even without activating his human-dragon form, his current combat power alone is enough to easily defeat Lei Lie in the past.
This is the domineering power of a Saint-level spiritual plant!
As Lu Sheng was about to turn and leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint, eerie light flickering deep within the crack in the rock wall where the dragon blood vines had been pulled out.
Companion plants?
Lu Sheng's heart stirred, and he activated his Dragon Eyes again, looking into the depths of the crack.
Upon seeing this, his breath hitched slightly.
Deep within the crack was a small, naturally formed depression, covered with black humus.
In the center of the soil, two inconspicuous low shrubs grow quietly.
A few unripe fruits, no bigger than a thumb, hung on the bush. Their skin had an eerie grayish-white color, making them look like wild fruits that hadn't yet ripened.
However, in Lu Sheng's dragon eyes, the energy fluctuations emitted by these two plants, while not as violent as those of the Dragon Blood Vine, were exceptionally mellow.
[Target: Earth-grade spiritual plant - Bone Strengthening Fruit (unripe)]
[Status: Growth stage (Estimated maturity time: 30 days)]
[Efficacy: When taken after maturity, it can significantly increase bone density and hardness.]
"Another Earth-grade spiritual plant!"
Lu Sheng's eyes lit up.
Although it is immature, once this thing matures, its defensive capabilities will definitely experience another qualitative leap.
If it were someone else, they would only be able to stare helplessly at such an immature spiritual plant, or they would have to painfully destroy it.
But Lu Sheng is different.
He possesses a spiritual energy space!
"receive!"
With a thought, Lu Sheng noticed that the [Spiritual Source Space] icon on the system panel lit up slightly.
Instead of picking the fruit directly, he squatted down, inserted his hands into the black humus, and carefully dug it out along with its roots and the surrounding soil.
"Buzz—"
A spatial fluctuation flashed by.
The two Bone Strengthening Fruit Trees vanished into thin air, and the next second, they appeared safely and steadily on a piece of spiritual field in the chaotic space that the Spirit Source Space itself possessed.
With the nourishment of the spiritual source space, this maturation period can definitely be greatly shortened!
"This is what sustainable development should be."
Lu Sheng patted the dirt off his hands, in a great mood.
If you come across anything good in the future, just uproot it and plant it in your space. You'll have a mobile medicine garden with you wherever you go. In the apocalypse, that's practically the biggest cheat code.
Just as Lu Sheng was preparing to delve deeper into the crevice to see if there were any fish that had escaped the net.
"Waaaaah—waaaah—!!!!!"
A piercing air raid siren suddenly shattered the tranquility of dusk, echoing wildly through the valley between the twin peaks.
