Chapter 864: Chapter 559: Hunter or Prey, Shadows Stir in the Dark

The battle in the valley came quickly and left just as fast.

A lightning-like figure could be seen moving rapidly through the valley.

Everywhere it went, a spiritual beast or demon beast was cut into several pieces, thoroughly falling.

It didn’t take long for the spiritual beasts and demon beasts attracted by the aroma of the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit to be slaughtered by Little Li.

There wasn’t even any need for help from the Five Elements.

The entire valley was full of severed limbs, blood flowed like rivers, corpses of spiritual beasts and demon beasts everywhere.

At this moment, Lu Qing had already arrived in front of the Vermilion Fruit Tree.

Using Mana, he picked the fully mature Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit and placed it into a Jade Box, storing it into the Qiankun Qi Bag.

He was not surprised by Little Li’s one-sided massacre.

Although many spiritual beasts and demon beasts were attracted by the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit, even up to Golden Core level, there were seven or eight.

But among these spiritual beasts and demon beasts, the strongest aura was only at the level of Mid-grade Golden Core Third Transition.

And Little Li had now stepped into the Golden Core Second Turn realm.

He was refining an immaculate Top-grade Golden Core.

Adding to this were several Innate Divine Abilities and a wealth of experience in combat from years of following.

Such a powerful foundation was far from what those beasts dwelling in the mountains, the strongest among them only able to refine Middle Grade Demon Core, could match.

He instructed the Five Elements to stay alert, ready to support Little Li, merely out of caution.

But he never considered that Little Li would lose.

This was indeed the case, in the face of the exploding Little Li.

Even those seven or eight Golden Core Realm spiritual beasts and demon beasts were hardly able to withstand a blow.

They couldn’t possibly resist Little Li’s speed and his unbreakable, razor-sharp claws.

”Ah Qing, come and look quickly!”

After Lu Qing put away the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit, he heard Little Li’s call.

”What’s up?” Lu Qing descended to the valley bottom.

”Look, this valley is absorbing the blood of these creatures!” Little Li pointed at the ground.

Lu Qing looked at the ground, his gaze immediately focused.

The blood of those spiritual beasts and demon beasts killed by Little Li did not pool in the valley.

Instead, it slowly seeped underground and disappeared.

If it was just soil, it could be explained, but even the blood on the rock was disappearing slowly.

This abnormal scene immediately drew Lu Qing’s attention.

He released his Heart and Spirit and carefully sensed.

Soon, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

”Is this blood being absorbed by the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree?”

After this sensing, Lu Qing discovered that the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree didn’t appear large.

But in fact, its roots had long spread throughout the entire underground of the valley.

The blood of the spiritual beasts and demon beasts, after seeping underground, was rapidly absorbed by the extensive roots of the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree and gathered into the trunk.

Looking at the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree on the cliff, it seemed to become more vibrant, Lu Qing’s heart subtly moved.

The earlier puzzlement was suddenly resolved.

”I see, the aroma earlier should have been intentionally released by the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree.

The goal was to attract the nearby spiritual beasts and demon beasts, letting them kill each other.

Meanwhile, it seized the opportunity to absorb the blood essence of the spiritual beasts and demon beasts to promote its own growth.

It seems even the aroma has issues, capable of confusing the minds of those spiritual beasts and demon beasts with weak willpower.”

Earlier watching those spiritual beasts and demon beasts, facing Little Li who was much stronger, still bravely fearless, Lu Qing felt something was amiss.

Now combining the absorption of the essence blood by the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree, Lu Qing roughly understood what was going on.

”Indeed, there are few things in this world obtained without effort.

These spiritual beasts and demon beasts, smelling the aroma of the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit, thought there was a great opportunity in the valley.

In reality, they were merely prey to the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree.

The Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree used its own fruit as bait to allure them into mutual slaughter.

The ultimate goal was to transform their essence blood and physical bodies into its own nourishment.”

Understanding everything, Lu Qing couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

There are countless wonders in this vast world.

This Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree had not yet developed spiritual wisdom, just acting instinctively, yet it had already toyed with many strong spiritual beasts and demon beasts in the palm of its hand.

Even Little Li, who was having such a strong urge to kill, was most likely influenced by that aroma.

Only he, with a firm Taoist heart and profound cultivation, remained unaffected by the aroma.

Otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee he wouldn’t also fall into irrationality.

”If it were any ordinary Golden Core Realm here encountering this Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit, it’s hard to say whether they’d be deceived.

Without sufficient power, sometimes even an opportunity turns into a disaster.”

Lu Qing gained an insightful realization.

He then shared his findings, leaving Little Li and the Five Elements astonished.

The Five Elements was fine as it was Lu Qing’s divine soul enslaved spiritual beast, unaffected by mere aroma.

But Little Li was a bit upset, being tricked by a spiritual medicine?

”Ah Qing, this Vermilion Fruit Tree is so wicked, why don’t we destroy it!” Little Li said angrily.

The Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit Tree on the cliff seemed to understand Little Li’s words, trembling slightly.

”There’s really no need for that,” Lu Qing laughed, ”It’s merely acting on instinct.

Besides, we’ve gained from this Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit, counting as its benefit.

This fruit is quite useful for both you and the Five Elements.

Having received the advantage, why act ungrateful and destroy the bridge after crossing?”
