At the end of the dark and damp abandoned passageway.
Zhao Guifen squatted beside the blood thorn, constantly rubbing the blood thorn's leaves with her cheeks.
The tender and beautiful leaves suddenly formed a sharp contrast with Zhao Guifen's wrinkled, haggard and pale cheeks.
If one looked carefully, they would find that the blood thorn's leaves were like countless tiny tentacles, tightly attached to Zhao Guifen's cheeks.
It was absorbing Zhao Guifen's blood essence through the leaves, but Zhao Guifen seemed to feel very comfortable.
Looking at her affectionate attitude towards the blood thorn, she would probably stay here for a while every night.
It was no wonder that a crazy woman like Zhao Guifen could go up the mountain in the middle of the night without any obstructions.
It turned out that she had come here too many times and was already familiar with the way.
Zhao Guifen was a few years younger than Aunt Zhang, but now she looked like an eighty or ninety year old woman, haggard and withered, like she was about to die.
Fortunately, there was only one blood thorn here, and not a clump.
Otherwise, Zhao Guifen's soul would have been scattered, and she would have turned into a dried corpse lying in this secluded mine, growing mold and maggots …
Although the blood thorn was a harmful plant, it was different from the plants on earth.
This was a magical plant that could affect the mind of its prey, and rely on devouring the prey's soul and blood essence to nourish itself.
However, the blood thorn's roots and leaves were not poisonous, and had great medicinal value, so it was often used as the main ingredient in medicine by immortal cultivators.
Zhao Guifen had been eroded by the blood thorn for a long time, and she was already half a step into the gates of hell.
In her current situation, even Chen Xi couldn't do anything to save her.
Death was only a matter of time.
In fact, this crazy woman was quite pitiful. He didn't know what kind of sins she committed in her previous life. Not only did she lose her son at such an old age, but she herself was also turned into something neither human nor ghost by this blood thorn. Her fate was really full of misfortune.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi could not help but sigh deeply, and then gently waved his arm.
A wave of vital energy suddenly wrapped around Zhao Guifen, pulling her back from the blood thorn.
However.
Just as Zhao Guifen was being pulled away by Chen Xi, the blood thorn suddenly began to dance without any wind.
Its leaves kept shaking like a person who was dancing, making a series of rustling sounds.
Immediately after, an invisible spiritual attack suddenly erupted from Xue Ji's body.
Animals and insects had intelligence, so why couldn't plants?
Furthermore, this was no ordinary plant.
Therefore, when it was interrupted by Chen Xi, this blood thorn immediately became very manic. As its branches and leaves swayed, it directly attacked Chen Xi.
In the Heavenly Jade Domain, a large-scale Blood Thorn Sea would be classified as a forbidden area by cultivators, and no one would trespass.
This was because in addition to causing hallucinations to trap prey, this plant could also directly launch a mental attack.
An ant could not bite an elephant to death, but what if the ants became a disaster?
The overwhelming number of ants swarmed forward. Not to mention the elephant, even the blue whale would be eaten up in an instant.
Although there was only one blood thorn here, it was still very aggressive.
After discovering Chen Xi, it directly launched an invisible spiritual attack at Chen Xi.
But it was a pity …
It did not know who it had provoked today.
Without seeing Chen Xi do anything, he just stared and the soil under the blood thorn directly loosened and exploded.
Then, Chen Xi gently waved at the blood thorn.
This blood thorn was immediately uprooted by an invisible vital energy and flew directly into his hand.
When the blood thorn was planted on the ground, it was about a meter tall. After being uprooted, the roots below were at least 30 centimeters long.
Its roots were similar to the roots of a reed, and there were many adventitious roots on it.
When the blood thorn was uprooted by Chen Xi, the adventitious roots on its roots suddenly twisted crazily like earthworms, which looked very disgusting.
The blood thorn lived by devouring souls and blood essence. After being used as medicine, it would naturally be very beneficial to the soul and blood essence of immortal cultivators.
Wasn't this the main ingredient that Chen Xi lacked now?
The blood thorn kept twisting in Chen Xi's hand, and at the same time, it kept trying to send out spiritual attacks to disturb Chen Xi's thoughts.
Chen Xi found it long-winded, so he directly grabbed its stem with both hands.
Following a soft 'ka' sound, Ye Zichen's eyes lit up.
This blood thorn was directly broken into two by him …
The world was finally quiet.
Because Zhao Guifen was directly pulled back by Chen Xi, she was now unconscious.
After Chen Xi cast a meditation spell on her, he used vital energy to support her and then walked back along the original path.
When Chen Xi came to the fork again, he suddenly stopped.
The mine was very quiet.
There were usually bats in the cave, but it was winter now. Although bats were warm-blooded animals, they also needed to hibernate. So this abandoned mine was very quiet, and only the faint sound of water dripping could be heard.
Chen Xi stood at the fork and paused for a moment.
When he stepped out again, he did not walk towards the cave entrance, but went to the left tunnel that he did not go to just now.
This abandoned mine was a little interesting. It actually grew a blood thorn that only existed in the Heavenly Jade Domain.
Since he was already here, he naturally had to explore the inside and outside of the mine tonight to see if there was anything rare in here.
Chen Xi walked along the left tunnel.
Zhao Guifen was being guided by his vital energy, lying flat and floating behind him.
Plus, there was the fluorescent green light above Chen Xi's head …
If this scene was seen by others, it would not be as simple as causing them to lose their minds, they would directly be scared to death …
The mine tunnel on the left was obviously the main tunnel.
After Chen Xi walked for a while, the mine tunnel suddenly changed from one track to two, and the width on both sides obviously increased by a lot.
This should be the main mining area.
Along the way, there were many forks in the road, but Chen Xi didn't hesitate at all. She didn't even look at those forks, and just went straight down the main road.
He had already discovered the abnormality here.
In the depths of this abandoned mine, there was a paradise with abundant spirit energy.
The spirit energy here was even richer than in the Qinling Mountains.
It was probably because this place happened to be in the position of the Dragon Vein of this mountain, so after the spirit energy recovered, this place directly became a paradise.
Chen Xi walked along the main tunnel for about ten minutes before he finally stopped.
Because a huge cave suddenly appeared in front of him.
This cave was like a flask. The passage Chen Xi was in was the narrow mouth of the flask, and the inside of the cave was the belly of the flask.
Chen Xi walked into the cave, and the surrounding terrain suddenly opened up.
This cave was about four or five meters high, and the actual area was about the size of a basketball court.
It was not too big, but it looked very strange.
Obviously, the miners would not be so bored as to dig such a strange cave in the coal mine.
