Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 1530

Chapter 1530: Blood Spring Water

“This mutated vine is highly evolved!”

Meng Chao thought, “It can automatically detect the strength of its prey’s vitality magnetic field, judge its strength, and control its predatory instincts. It’s not something that ordinary mutated plants can do. I’ve never heard of such intelligent mutated plants growing in the depths of Raging Waves Mountain Range.”

Continuing forward, Meng Chao discovered dozens of highly evolved insect-type monsters and mutated plants one after another.

This included a Longhorn beetle, whose sh.e.l.l was extremely hard and whose strength was comparable to composite armor.

Its entire body was covered in colorful patterns. After it slowly squirmed, it would leave a trace of lethal poison behind. Then, it would slowly use the traces of poison to restrict its prey’s route of escape, and finally, it would strangle its prey to death.

There were also many delicate flower buds in the area. Behind the flower buds were human-eating flowers that had huge mouths and blood-sucking thorns.

They blended in perfectly with the plants, so was hard to tell if they were earthworms or tree roots.

Many deformed and twisted insect-type monsters were new species that Meng Chao had never seen before.

However, most of the new monsters seemingly possessed a mix of characteristics from several monster types. For example, the blade limbs of a mantis, the abdomen of a spider, and the carapace of a ladybug. At first glance, they looked fierce and ferocious. In reality, they did not have a strong survival rate.

They were the products of genetic mutations that had been triggered recently by the outside world.

They had not yet been eliminated in the cruel compet.i.tion of natural selection and the survival of the fittest.

When Meng Chao stepped into the swamp, a leech-like insect monster with purple stripes all over its body finally hissed and attacked him.

When it was hiding in the mud, it was only as thick as a finger.

However, in the process of jumping like lightning, it absorbed a lot of air and expanded to the thickness of Meng Chao’s arm. Its lumpy surface was covered with suckers made of sharp teeth.

It was reasonable to a.s.sume that once it bit someone in the flesh, the air in its body would be injected into the blood vessels of its prey.

Its prey would probably die instantly.

Of course, such a small trick was not enough to make Meng Chao block or dodge.

Even if he extended his arm to let the leech bite him, its sharp teeth would not be able to penetrate his skin, which was stronger than the front armor of a main battle tank.

Meng Chao shook the hair on his arm gently, and the leech immediately seemed to be entangled by hundreds of invisible single molecular crystal wires.

It was instantly cut into hundreds of fingernail-sized pieces.

However, the severed leech did not die.

Among the hundreds of fingernail-sized pieces, one-third of them grew scarlet mycelium, which looked like the long hair of a demon, and they continued to dance.

“Undead creature, Blood Flower spores?”

Meng Chao’s eyes lit up.

The Blood Flower was an extremely special living creature.

It did not possess much attack power and predatory ability.

However, it could greatly increase a monster’s ferocity and vitality.

One could say that it was the “catalyst” that stimulated the mutation of the monster’s cells, and it could also transform the monster into an even more ferocious and powerful “undead form.”

“Since the blood-sucking leech contains the spores of the Blood Flower, there must be a large number of Blood Flower colonies around here.

“Ai Lei told me that one year after our victory in the Monster War, the Dragon City civilization developed a pesticide specifically to suppress the Blood Flower.

“Although the Blood Flower can’t be completely destroyed, the pesticide can be sprayed three times a day in places with miasmas, like the Hidden Mist Domain and Raging Waves Mountain Range, as well as places where the terrain is complicated, and the monsters come and go. That can suppress the activity of the Blood Flower spores and the birth of the immortal creatures to the greatest extent.

“I didn’t smell the scent of undead creatures on my way here just now.

“Why did I find the traces of the Blood Flower here?”

With such a question in mind, Meng Chao gently pushed aside a cl.u.s.ter of dark red thorns.

He found a mouthful of blood-red spring water hidden in the middle of the deformed and twisted mutant plants.

There were a lot of Blood Flowers growing around the spring water.

At first glance, they were crystal clear and beautiful, like blooming buds, tumors, and hearts. They were filled with soul-stirring magic power.

Before the Blood Flowers parasitized high-level monsters, their offensive power was not strong.

Sensing Meng Chao’s vitality magnetic field that was stronger than that of the Apocalyptic Beasts, as well as his undisguised hostility, the Blood Flowers were like frightened mimosa pudicas, trembling and curling up together.

A few more Blood Flowers extended several mycelia toward Meng Chao tentatively.

They seemed to be flirting with him, enticing him to absorb them into his body and form an incredible symbiotic relationship.

That way, they could break through the limits of life together and explore the path from “human beings” to “G.o.ds” or “demons.”

Meng Chao appeared to be bewitched, and he walked toward the deepest part of the spring, where the Blood Flowers were densest.

Instead, the Bloof Flowers were greatly encouraged, and they twisted even harder.

However, when Meng Chao extended his hand toward the spring, countless cl.u.s.ters of Blood Flowers and fungi rushed toward him.

A layer of liquid metal that looked like mercury was secreted from his pores, forming a gauntlet as thin as a Cicada’s wing. It protected his entire arm tightly.

The cl.u.s.ters of Blood Flowers and fungi wrapped around the gauntlet without knowing what was good for them.

Not only did it fail to tear the “Mercury Line”it is eroded, a.s.similated, and pushed back by a liquid-like metallic substance.

For a time, Meng Chao’s arm did not become blood-red.

Quite a few cl.u.s.ters of blood-streaked fungi had given off a faint silver glow.

You know, Meng Chao was not equipped with ordinary armor.

It was the Turan civilization’s ultimate defense against the Holy Light for thousands of years—the totem armor.

It had also received the Mother of Origin’s blessing, the best of the totem armor!

The essence of the totem armor consisted of several billion molecular-level or even nano-level ultra-micro robots.

These nano-machines had been instilled with all the information about the b.l.o.o.d.y trials and cruel wars of Turan civilization’s b.l.o.o.d.y trials and cruel war for over several dozen thousands of years.

It had also received the powerful reinforcement of Meng Chao’s incomparably surging life magnetic field.

Naturally, the wild flora of Blood Flowers could not compare to the one that had not been artificially modified.

For a moment, the Blood Flowers’ hyphae, cl.u.s.ters, flora, and even the spores that were flying in the air While riding on the blood mist, it seemed to have been swallowed by a ball of bright silver flames.

Meng Chao had also planted the liquid-like metal substance into the deepest part of the Blood Flower cl.u.s.ter. Through the information he had gathered, he had peered into the real world hidden under the blood-colored spring water.

“I see!”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. With help from the liquid metal-like substance, his line of sight penetrated all the way underground. “An underground river is hidden here. Although the flow of water isn’t that large, and it’s barely between a ‘stream’ and a ‘river,’ the water in the underground river is highly contaminated and highly radioactive. It has dangerous substances including Blood Flower spores!”
