Lin Yu looked at the red mist, his eyes shining brightly.
Are there minerals similar to amethyst from outer space among them?
Very likely.
Lin Yu activated the emerald bracelet, opening a halo of light and summoning several undead from behind.
At Lin Yu's signal, the spirits leaped into the water with a splash. They were frogs in life, and naturally became good swimmers after death, easily floating on the surface.
Lin Yu stepped onto the back of a spirit, like piloting a small boat, and headed towards the red mist.
Using a familiar tactic, Lin Yu, holding a silver explosive pistol, fired several shots inside.
As a result, the red mist was calm and peaceful, and nothing came out from within.
A dog that bites doesn't bark; is it saving its big move for me?
Lin Yu was certain that there was a dangerous creature inside.
Lin Yu immediately dispatched an undead to investigate. The undead leaped into the red mist like a fearless soldier.
In an instant, its body seemed to melt, turning into blood from the outside in, dripping into the pool and staining the water red.
A root, about the thickness of a human wrist, stretched out from the depths of the red mist, with countless branches as thin as silk threads.
They wriggled and pierced the bodies of the dead, sucking away all the dissolved blood.
This scene horrified Lin Yu; the plants there were even more ferocious than the Purple Gold Vine, devouring people without spitting out their bones.
The undead, which was a full 2 meters long, was completely devoured in less than 10 seconds!
Lin Yu pondered, wondering if the Yin-Yang Jade could withstand such an effect.
Lin Yu felt that even if he didn't turn into blood if he went in, he would still suffer real damage, so it was best not to go in for now.
Within the red mist, the root swayed and shook its head, as if it had just finished eating, somewhat joyful, yet also as if it hadn't had enough and was somewhat dissatisfied.
The body of the dead was long gone, leaving only a faint green light that dissipated in the wind.
Lin Yu knew that it was the residual spiritual energy in its body, which could not exist independently without the physical body.
"Hmm?" Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly. Did this mean that the spiritual body could be unaffected by the red mist?
Lin Yu felt it was worth a try.
Previously, he had converted undead in physical form, similar to gray corpses. Now, he plans to convert a batch of undead in spiritual form, similar to vengeful spirits.
Lin Yu steered the small boat closer to the densely packed monsters.
The purple mist was getting thinner and thinner. Once the purple mist dissipated, the monsters would definitely attack Lin Yu frantically. Therefore, Lin Yu did not hold back when he started to fight.
"Puff puff puff!" One monster after another was killed by Lin Yu and dragged into the light of the dead, where they began to transform.
Seeing their companion in distress, the monsters went berserk, roaring and trying to kill Lin Yu. However, because Lin Yu was in the purple mist, they dared not approach and could only howl.
Lin Yu ignored him and quickly conjured up a series of undead spirits, ordering them to rush into the red mist.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" The undead floated and flew inside.
Lin Yu stared intently at them, and seeing that they rushed into the red mist unharmed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Whoosh!" A root lashed out, its thin tendrils swirling wildly, trying to devour its prey once more, but this time it was destined to fail.
Whether it's roots or fine threads, they all pass right through the dead, making it difficult to harm them.
Under Lin Yu's command, the undead swooped down and pounced on the plants deep within the red mist. At this moment, the roles of prey and hunter had been reversed.
A series of shrill screams, like those of a vengeful ghost, rang out; they came from that plant.
Lin Yu had personally experienced what it felt like to be attacked by a vengeful spirit. First, its mana was devoured, and then its life force was devoured. It was easy to imagine that the plant was in a terrible state right now.
The crimson mist surged violently, its roots twitching back and forth like a ferocious monster trying to tear its enemy apart; however, all its efforts were in vain.
The screams grew increasingly piercing, filled with pain and resentment.
After waiting for a while, it was time for Lin Yu to speak:
"Lend me your treasured possessions, or else you'll suffer the same fate as the Purple Gold Vine next door."
The plant seemed to understand Lin Yu's words, and became even more enraged. Its roots stretched out in red mist, heading straight for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu swung his sword swiftly, and before long, the plant was almost completely bare.
However, despite the relentless attacks from Lin Yu and the undead, the plants remained thriving and remarkably resilient.
A strange light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. Such tenacious vitality?
That makes sense. Those plants here must have devoured countless lives; how could their vitality not be strong?
Lin Yu's gaze grew cold as he looked into the depths of the red mist. It was hazy and initially indistinct, but the red mist thinned under the relentless attacks of the undead.
It resembles a giant crocodile emerging from the water, with a dense network of broken roots visible, within which blooming blood-red flowers are nestled.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu slashed a sword wheel downwards at the base of the flower, where its main root should be located.
In just one glance, the main root was cut open with a huge gash, and bright red sap, like blood, flowed out.
The plant trembled rapidly, finally sensing fear—this was the power that could truly kill it.
"Swish, swish, swish!" A few slender roots twisted and tore off a few petals, presenting them to Lin Yu like treasures.
Lin Yu commanded an undead to reach out and take it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he picked it up and examined it:
Name: Petals of the Bloodthirsty Demon Flower.
Type: Material.
Effect: After consumption, enters a bloodlust state, increasing combat power by 20% for 5 minutes, during which time the user will lose their sanity.
Rating: 1 star.
Lin Yu's face darkened: "This is all you're giving me?"
"You should just die!"
Lin Yu manipulated the sword wheel, directly severing its main root, cutting it into pieces, and also shattering its other root systems.
