"No problem!"
The Merfolk Quan Lei smiled faintly, and under the tense gazes of Young Master Ji and the two Ji lineage elders, he reached into the box and directly took out that blood-colored Leishi.
The moment the Leishi left the box, the Leishi patterns on its surface instantly came alive like thirsty, growing strands of hair. A large portion of these blood-colored hair strands tightly coiled around the Merfolk clone's palm, trying to burrow into his flesh and suck him completely dry.
"Ignorance is really fearlessness, you're looking for a quick death!"
Terror flashed in the eyes of the Ji lineage elders, along with a trace of an unnameable, strange expression. They pulled Young Master Ji back, instantly putting distance between themselves and Li Qingyun's Merfolk clone.
They seemed to foresee that in an instant, this foolish Merfolk would be sucked dry of everything by the blood-colored hair-like Leishi patterns, turning into a withered corpse right where he stood.
The Ji lineage hadn't processed this piece of blood-colored Leishi. Bringing this one over was, first, to test the foundation of the Ba Snake Mountain sacrificial temple for a "friend," and second, they had their eyes on this Merfolk's Roaring Heaven Realm...
Generally speaking, all Leishi had to be carefully processed by a Dao Lord Master. Only after slowly wearing down the blood-colored Leishi's overly active "vitality" would a tiny fraction of Louse-tribe powerhouses dare to attempt swallowing one to stimulate more Ancestral God bloodlines.
Even with processed Leishi, the danger for Louse-tribesmen after swallowing one was immense. Nine out of ten could not endure it and were consumed by the remaining, incompletely eradicated "vitality," turning into dried corpses.
"After all, it's just a sacrificial temple born from barren lands. It's a pity for this Roaring Heaven Realm Merfolk, though..."
