If an astronomy expert were present, they would immediately recognize that this is a crater caused by a meteorite.
But the crater in front of Chen Chu now contains no meteorite.
"It was just a single drop of blood?"
Chen Chu stared wide-eyed, as if in disbelief.
In the crater before us, a drop of blood floats silently, emitting a crimson glow.
Clusters of deathly energy swirled around the blood droplet, seemingly wanting to enter, but unable to get close at all.
Eventually, it coalesced into a cloud of black mist, giving rise to vengeful spirits.
After casually slaying the vengeful spirit, Chen Chu thought for a moment, then stretched out his longsword to test the drop of blood.
He was prepared to retreat at any time.
But the drop of blood did not produce any reaction.
Instead, the system sounded a notification tone.
"Ding! Blood left behind by an ancient first-realm demon has been discovered. Cleaning it will increase the progress of the cleaning task."
"The blood of a first-realm demon, a drop of blood splattered in an ancient battle. Over the long years, its spiritual essence has been worn away, and its power is less than one ten-thousandth of what it once was."
Chen Chu heard the notification sound from the system in his mind.
It was quite shocking.
Just a drop of blood can create so many vengeful spirits in batches.
Moreover, its power is less than one ten-thousandth of what it could possibly be.
How powerful must this great demon be?
Chen Chu swallowed hard. The affairs of this land were simply beyond the reach of a newbie like himself.
I wonder if I'll die at the hands of some big shot later?
Another problem facing Chen Chu was how to remove the drop of blood.
Just as Chen Chu hesitated, the spider lily suddenly jumped out of his inventory.
A purplish-red divine light descended and took away the drop of blood.
"Find more blood like this; it tastes pretty good."
The sound of the red spider lily echoed in my mind.
Chen Chu was stunned. Could she really pop out of her inventory on her own?
In the blink of an eye, the spider lily returned to its original state.
"No, how did you get out?"
"Your presence is within my body, which naturally influences the restrictions in your mind."
The red spider lily seemed to be half asleep, yawning, "Let's go look for more blood food."
Chen Chu suddenly realized what the mayor of Tianxing Town had said.
The great being's favorite food is blood!
"Let's talk about it if we run into each other later!"
Chen Chu has no intention of staying here to continue searching for blood.
If we were to encounter one with even greater power, my life might be over.
Chen Chu then headed in the direction from which the drumbeats had come.
"Is this the priest of the Ghost Gate?"
As Chen Chu passed by a large tree, he only saw a pile of clothing fragments; the bones and flesh had long since been shattered into dust.
It must be that unfortunate Ghost Gate Priest.
However, the trees here are quite resilient and were not affected by the drumbeats.
Chen Chu didn't dwell on it too much and sped off towards the sound of the drums.
He had a feeling that a huge discovery might be made there next.
Along the way, he encountered many vengeful spirits, and quite a few of them had even solidified into skeletal monsters.
The level even reached level seven or eight!
It was far beyond what his mere Level 6 could handle.
This also suggests that there must be many powerful drops of immortal and demonic blood scattered throughout this forest.
Wait, that's it!
Chen Chu suddenly stopped and ran through the primeval forest for nearly ten minutes.
Suddenly, a cluster of palaces came into view.
Beyond the palace complex, there is a headless giant!
He's probably three meters tall!
The giant held an axe that was almost rotten in his hand, and his armor was covered in rust, revealing his strong muscles underneath.
And in front of him stood a towering osmanthus tree!
Chen Chu's mouth dropped open. This osmanthus tree... damn, it must be over a thousand meters tall, right?
Previously, Chen Chu couldn't see clearly in the forest, so he didn't dare to jump into the air.
Now I immediately noticed this bizarre scene.
The headless giant held the axe in his hand, seemingly contemplating whether or not to strike.
But without a head, he was unable to think at all.
Chen Chu instinctively moved away and did not approach.
No one knew whether this giant would pose any threat to him.
However, just as he was about to arrive at the palace and stand at the entrance of the main hall...
He saw the headless giant suddenly swing the axe in his hand and chop it fiercely at the cassia tree.
The osmanthus tree was cut into a ravine, but it healed instantly.
And it was at this moment!
Buzz!
Chen Chu saw a ripple bounce back from the osmanthus tree, spreading outwards in a horizontal circle.
"Damn it, the drumming I just heard was his logging!"
"Defense array, deploy!"
With lightning speed, Chen Chu threw out a defensive array plate to block the ripple attack.
As it turns out, Chen Chu was just daydreaming!
The defensive array was as fragile as paper in the face of this ripple.
Chen Chu was shoved sideways, crashing through the main gate of the palace and falling inside.
puff!
Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Chen Chu skillfully injected himself with a life-saving potion.
"What should we do?"
Only an hour has passed, and another life potion has already been used up.
Chen Chu is now truly starting to panic.
When I looked at the headless giant again, I found that he was the same as before.
