Chapter 121 Underground Secrets

"Flesh plant?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. Although the scarlet vines they saw in the valley had the body of a plant, they did move like an animal.

However, Jiang Chen only felt that it was similar to snake-like creatures, but it really didn't move closer to insect-type creatures.

"Yes, although this kind of vine has no intelligence and can only act instinctively after being far away from the main body, it is indeed a flesh-and-blood plant."

Wen Quan nodded and said, "At the same time, this is probably the reason why white flowers can bear flesh-and-blood fruits."

"Then what makes extraordinary creatures violent? And that scarlet eyeball..."

Hearing Jiang Chen's inquiry, Wen Quan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I tried to cultivate one with white meat, but it turned into blood energy and dissipated just as I was about to study it, so I don't know the specific principle yet. ”

"I see."

Jiang Chen understood clearly after hearing this, that the scarlet eyeball that was parasitic on Hongzhong's body turned into blood after it was broken. I'm afraid this is also some kind of its own protection mechanism.

"But I discovered a very special substance in the whiteheads. It is usually in a dormant state and only becomes active when it comes into contact with blood. It has a very strong survivability and can survive for a long time even when exposed to the air. Undetected."

Wen Quan looked solemn and said: "I currently suspect that the cause of the violence of extraordinary creatures is because of this special substance. Give me a few days to experiment, and I will be able to get a more accurate result."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. He didn't understand the research, but as long as he could figure it out, it would definitely be a good thing.

Although he still hasn't figured out what forces are involved behind these things and is unable to stop them, Jiang Chen still doesn't want to break the current peaceful life.

Now, as long as Isotherm Quan studies the principles and informs Venus, Jiang Chen believes that Venus has the ability to solve these things.

Although there is no evidence, judging from the positions of Huiluo manager and representatives of the four major families asked about during the opening ceremony and before the end of the second stage, Daystar's status may be higher than he thought.

But since Wen Quan said that this kind of substance can survive in the air for a long time, isn't it possible that there is still such a thing behind Piaoxue Orphanage?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt worried.

"Wen Quan, help me exchange some life cores first."

Jiang Chen took out his federal card and handed it to Wen Quan.

"No problem, Brother Chen, how much do you want?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, exhaled heavily, and said: "Give me ten metallic bronze mutation life cores, and 24 water-attribute bronze mutation life cores. Use these life cores to offset them first."

"Okay, 34 bronze mutant life cores total 23.8W federal coins. Brother Chen, you have 16 bronze ordinary life cores, which can be used to deduct 4.8W federal coins. I will give you another 19W federal coins."

Wen Quan quickly calculated all the purchase requirements and deducted the money with Jiang Chen's heartbroken eyes.

The small amount of money I just got is gone before I warm it up...

Looking at the pitiful balance of 10,000 on his federal card, Jiang Chen felt heartbroken.

I thought that so much money would last me a while, but I couldn’t even survive a day.

Money is hard to make, but it’s really easy to spend it…

"Brother Chen, these are the life cores you want. Can you order them?"

"No, the more I look at it, the sadder it becomes."

Jiang Chen shook his head, put these life cores directly into the palm of his hand, and continued to ask.

"Does Wen Quan Qiming sell gifts and other things here? It would be best if they are suitable for children."

After spending so much money, this is not bad!

…

Piaoxue Orphanage.

"Jiang Chen, you came here just as you said you would. Why did you bring so many things here?"

Dean Leng glared at Jiang Chen with a hint of reproach and said, "You are now an E-level envoy. It is very expensive to raise two pets, so don't be so lavish."

"It's okay, I just received the benefits from the Star List."

When Jiang Chen heard Dean Leng mention that he wanted to raise two pet spirits, Jiang Chen felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

Although this time he directly bought all the life cores to upgrade the fruit trees and greenhouses to 100%, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw so much money being spent.

"All right."

Dean Leng sighed and looked at the little guys who were playing with the latest toys, and also showed a happy smile.

"It's going to be hard for these little guys to fall asleep tonight."

"It's good to relax for a while. Children are naturally playful."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, took out a few bottles of Exorcism Spray 2.0 and handed them to Dean Leng, saying: "The effect of these sprays is better than the ones I gave you last time, Dean. You should spray them all around tonight, Dean. Don’t let the little ones out.”

"Why, over there on the path..."

Dean Leng suddenly frowned and asked.

"Dean, don't be nervous. I just happen to be free and will check again."

Jiang Chen quickly explained.

The side of the path has been dealt with by Xiao's people, so theoretically there will be no omissions, but considering what Wen Quan said today, Jiang Chen still wanted to confirm it again.

"I see, then be careful."

Dean Leng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If there is really a danger, don't take risks alone like last time. Just inform the adults to do some things."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and walked straight to the path.

Because it had been cleaned up, the trees on the path were also removed, and the fallen leaves on the ground were swept clean, making it look very clean and tidy.

However, with the dead silence and the pale moonlight above, the path seemed even more gloomy.

Jiang Chen looked around, and felt a flash of light behind him, and immediately summoned his two pets.

Da Da?

Fa Cai was originally sleeping on a fruit tree full of gold coins. He was a little confused when he was suddenly summoned by Jiang Chen. He rubbed his eyes and planned to fall asleep again.

On the contrary, Hong Zhong, who revisited the old place, immediately showed abnormality.

It was not the excitement when he encountered the vines before, but a strong sense of curiosity.

Meow~

Hong Zhong bent down and sniffed something carefully on the ground until he reached the end of the path, and then stopped.

"Hong Zhong, did you find anything?"

Jiang Chen's expression was serious. It would be the best result if he didn't find anything at this time, but it seemed that he was right to run over to check this time.

Meow!

Hongzhong patted the ground under his feet vigorously, and then stretched out his claws to start digging.

It was obvious that something was attracting Hongzhong underground.

"Facai, help dig here!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately stepped back and signaled Facai to dig.

The road surface here was newly poured, which should be done by Xiao family. It was quite solid.

However, in front of Facai's cracked golden claws, it was no different from tofu. It was easily dug open, and an entrance similar to a mine appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

"Did Xiao enter from here and find the rat nest?"

Seeing the hole that was obviously dug out by humans and then closed again, Jiang Chen immediately asked Facai to continue digging.

After digging the road surface, Hongzhong's reaction became stronger and stronger. There must be something it needs in it.

Soon, Facai dug out the hole and ran in first to explore the way. The Eye of Delusion Breaking was activated, and the bright golden light immediately illuminated the tunnel like daylight.

"Since Xiao has cleaned it up, there should be no rats here, right?"

Looking at the extremely deep passage, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, but still went in.

As he saw from the outside, the passage was very long and narrow. If Xiao hadn't dealt with it later, it would have been difficult to even walk.

The most important thing is that Jiang Chen encountered a fork in the road before he walked out for long.

"It's only because Xiao has the manpower to find the rat's nest along this kind of passage."

Looking at the five holes in front of him that were indistinguishable, Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire.

Meow~

Just then, Hongzhong sniffed at several intersections, and then chose the passage on the far left.

"Hongzhong, is what you are looking for here? Are there still rats?"

Looking at Hongzhong's increasingly excited expression, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be alert.

So far, Hongzhong has only been interested in things related to white meat. Now that he is so excited, it is very likely that there are still distorted rats active.

Even, scarlet vines!

Meow!

Hongzhong shook his head vigorously and rushed out first, and Jiang Chen could only bite the bullet and follow.

It wasn't long before they came to the end of the road.

"Is it a dead end?"

Jiang Chen walked to the end and knocked gently.

The soil was hard, so they must have dug into the rock layer, and there was indeed a small hill outside the city in the direction of Piaoxue Orphanage.

"Could it be another tunnel leading out of the city?"

Jiang Chen's heart trembled. The rat nest in the city was cleared, but no one could say what else was outside.

If there was another passage leading out of the city, it would definitely be a hidden danger.

"Fa Cai, after we leave, tear down this section, no, these sections of the passage for me!"

Da Da!

Fa Cai nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with golden light, ready to tear down the house at any time.

Meow...

At this moment, Hong Zhong suddenly became agitated and kept digging at the rock in front with his claws.

"Hong Zhong, is the thing you are looking for here?"

Jiang Chen was a little confused. There was no sign of excavation on this rock, which meant that there was no deformed rat.

But judging from Hong Zhong's appearance, there was indeed something wrong here.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, and finally decided to investigate.

Since he was here, he had to find out a result, otherwise he would not feel at ease when he left.

After receiving Jiang Chen's order, Fa Cai continued to dig.

Compared with other areas, the rocks in this area were a bit too hard, and Fa Cai obviously had some difficulty digging without using skills.

Jiang Chen suspected that this was also the reason why the distorted rat did not dig in this direction.

But the more he dug forward, the more excited Hong Zhong became, but it was not that kind of abnormal restlessness, but it was a bit like...

The feeling of going home?

Could this be Hong Zhong's home behind?

A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in Jiang Chen's mind.
