The blood-red river is churning with waves.

"What's this?"

Lin Yan couldn't help but wonder why such a thing would appear in the Fensun World.

Sha Luo Flower is Plant Lifeform and cannot communicate with him through consciousness like Wind Queen, Lin Yan can still sense the emotions it expresses through his consciousness.

It's a kind of instinctive... desire.

His mental energy spread out, permeating the river that resembled blood. This river seemed to be a liquefied blood energy, somewhat similar to a high-grade "Blood and Flesh Ganoderma," but this blood energy was more refined and filled with a rich life force.

"Wind Queen, do you know what this is?" Lin Yan asked subconsciously.

"I used a scanning instrument to probe it and obtained some information, but this energy is quite special, and I cannot determine its source." Wind Queen's slightly puzzled voice rang in Lin Yan's mind.

Here, the shielding technology of Virtual Universe Company has no effect, and the detection instruments can naturally be used.

Lin Yan nodded.

But...

Lin Yan fell into deep thought, "This feeling... why does it seem so familiar?"

It was as if he had encountered this kind of blood energy somewhere before?

But he couldn't react for a moment and couldn't remember where he had encountered it before. He frowned and racked his brains. Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be?"

Lin Yan finally remembered where this feeling of déjà vu came from. His mind raced, and a guess popped into his head.

Could it be related to that 'God Tree King'?

He had a hunch that there was an even greater secret hidden in this Fensun World.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment, then opened the system to see if there were any other changes, but there was no response.

"Hmm... it's worth exploring."

Lin Yan pursed his lips, did not hesitate, and then directly passed through the world exit and leaped into the flowing light at the end of the passage.

A vast and endless forest world.

Lin Yan, fully armed, walked through the sea of trees.

"The Mechanical Puppet said it was unaware of the existence of the World Passage, and that it had already bound itself to a master, so it couldn't possibly be deceiving me."

"It's just an AI, so it's normal that it can't know much. If nothing unexpected happens, this should have been arranged by 'He' before his death."

He had always wondered why, since the Fensun World Lord was World Master the Law of Light, the A World he created was completely different from the worlds of other World Lord's World the Law of Light, and there was no trace of the Law of Light at all.

Rather, he is more like a World Master of the Law of Wood.

However, through the Fensun World Lord Inheritance, he learned that the Lord of the Fensun World Lord's master was a Peak Existence among immortals, the "God Tree King"!

Although he couldn't possibly know anything about the title of "King level Immortal," even a fool would know what it meant.

Lin Yan glanced around and his ears twitched slightly.

"There's a sound!"

Whoosh!

His combat boots lightly stepped on the decaying leaves, and in an instant, he disappeared... Hundreds of kilometers away, Lin Yan's figure was hidden in the Tree Crown an ancient tree that was more than thirty meters thick. Through the green and yellow leaves, he looked at the scene in the distance.

"Roar..."

A Dragon Rock Bear, over a hundred meters tall, roared, causing the earth to tremble, and spewed out violent flames!

Call!

A black lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and a thick black vine, over ten meters long, shot through the air... The length of this vine seemed endless, as if it stretched straight to the heavens and the earth!

It was vast and endless, and at first glance it looked like a giant python writhing and coiling around the Dragon Rock Bear that was breathing flames!

Pfft! Pfft!

The Dragon Rock Bear's sharp claws slashed fiercely at the black vines that were wrapping around it, and a shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye suddenly spread out in all directions, shattering the towering trees below.

The long vine snapped instantly, the front part falling to the ground, blood flowing from the wound, before stiffening like rotten wood.

But in the blink of an eye, the black vine showed amazing cellular activity, and the broken part was instantly restored.

"Smack!"

The long vine lashed out in mid-air, creating a huge sonic boom, like a whip striking the Dragon Rock Bear's back.

The Dragon Rock Bear's eyes were bloodshot and it was extremely agitated. Its sharp claws were like razor-sharp weapons, constantly lashing out. The black vines were completely suppressed for a time, and broken vines were scattered all over the ground.

Sudden--

One!

Two!

Dozens of black vines attacked from all directions, instantly binding the Dragon Rock Bear and preventing it from escaping. Then, an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded... The Dragon Rock Bear's roar suddenly disappeared, and its massive body gradually shrank as it was bound by the black vines. When the long black vines dissipated, only a bear skin and withered bones remained scattered on the ground.

Lin Yan looked at the screen on his left arm guard, where data appeared.

"Dragon Rock Bear (peak stage), sixth-order Cosmic level."

He narrowed his eyes. The sixth-order Cosmic level Dragon Rock Bear was dealt with in such a short time. No wonder the data provided by the Virtual Universe Company indicated that this strange Plant Lifeform was at the top of the food chain in the Fensun World.

Blood Sucking Vine!

After sensing the blood energy, he had a sense of déjà vu. Then he remembered that when he first came to the Fensun World, he had encountered a seventh-order Stellar level Blood Sucking Vine. Although he did not kill it, he cut off a section of its vine out of curiosity.

The blood flowing from the vines was very similar to the liquid in the Blood Colored River.

However, it was far inferior to the energy essence in the Blood Colored River, probably because the Blood Sucking Vine encountered at that time were only at the seventh level of the Stellar level.

He had only fought the Blood Sucking Vine once, and had tried to avoid it ever since, which resulted in a gap of nearly half a year, so he didn't react immediately.

If the nature of the Sha Luo Flower is to devour Flesh-type, then the nature of the Blood Sucking Vine is to absorb the blood of Flesh-type and blood.

"So, the Flesh-type- Sucking Sha Luo Flower uses the flesh and blood it Blood Sucking Vine to evolve itself, but it does not. It refines the blood it absorbs and then channels all of this strange blood energy through the World Passage to some unknown place."

Lin Yan pondered, what did this mean?

The Plant Lifeform of the Blood Sucking Vine is not unique to the Fensun World, but it is very rare in the Ganwu Universe Country. Its normal growth mode is to increase its strength by absorbing blood, which can be regarded as a completely weakened version of the Sha Luo Flower.

However, the Blood Sucking Vine in the Fensun World do not operate in this normal growth pattern, but are tools to achieve other purposes.

It is important to know that the Fensun World has existed for millions of years, and it has been home to hundreds of billions of humans and countless ferocious beasts. During this long period of time, the amount of blood energy absorbed by the Blood Sucking Vine is astonishing!

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

Another hypothesis still needs to be verified.

If this conjecture is confirmed, then what is the significance of the existence of the Fensun World?

In the Fensun World, burial is a tradition that has been passed down through humankind.

The Sha Luo Flower extends deep into the ground and moves.

This is a large burial site for local residents. Lin Yan's spiritual energy spread out carefully.

Suddenly, he and the Sha Luo Flower stopped.

He sensed that deep underground, buried deep, was a thick, black vine, like a twisted demonic dragon, with tiny branches growing from it, extending upwards to connect to the burial site.

Lin Yan's heart stirred.

This phenomenon undoubtedly indicates that over the past millions of years, the blood absorbed by the Blood Sucking Vine has not only come from the humans and beasts they have killed, but also from the blood energy contained in all the dead lives.

He became increasingly curious.

Where does that Blood Colored River lead?
