"Yes, Master."
The Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm answered, then plunged headfirst into the soil and vanished.
Chen Changming waited quietly.
Chu Guhong's Storage Ring had been destroyed in the explosion, but Chen Changming had a feeling that this man might have left behind some useful things in his cultivation grounds.
After all, Chu Guhong was a disciple of the Medicine Sect, and the information he possessed far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Before long.
The Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm burrowed out from the soil to one side, shook its large black head at Chen Changming, and called out, "Master, this way."
Chen Changming smiled and flew over.
Though the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm looked rough, it had a careful side. Having returned from scouting, it had already opened up a passage for its master.
After following the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm for some distance, Chen Changming saw a massive crimson pit come into view.
With a flicker of his body, Chen Changming appeared above the crimson pit.
His nose twitched as the waves of blood stench reached him. Chen Changming said flatly, "This should be where Chu Guhong cultivated the Blood Demon Tree..."
Since it was called a Blood Demon Tree, this Beast had surely consumed no small amount of blood.
The crimson pit below was like an enormous Blood Pool, submerging the entire Blood Demon Tree and allowing it to absorb endlessly.
Around the pit lay mountains of bones.
Chen Changming found no Beast corpses, so he concluded that the Blood-Guided Spirit Seeding Technique required vast quantities of blood from human cultivators to be carried out.
Only after the Blood Demon Tree absorbed human blood could it merge with Chu Guhong as one.
"The deaths at the black iron mine must have been the Blood Demon Tree's handiwork as well."
Chen Changming frowned.
