There was a Fire Crystal, a Green Frost Stone, and a crystalized neurosphere from a Terror Dragon embedded in the Surging Lightning Flagship Model. As long as he inserted his spirit energy into them, he could interfere with the atomic energy shell of any substance and change the nature of the saber.
Meng Chao's spirit energy surged madly through his 1,024 branch meridians and the eight main meridians that surrounded his arms. The Fire Crystal was the first to shine with a dazzling light, causing the saber to turn orange-red and extremely hot. With just one slash, it left behind a sizzling burn mark on the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon's neck.
Then, the Green Frost Stone shone with a cold light, and the temperature of the saber instantly dropped to negative 100 degrees Celsius. It froze the water molecules in the air, and ice appeared on the blade and the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon's wound.
The Surging Lightning Flagship Model was made of Special Alloy No. 3724 and the bone powder from the Thunder Ghost Beast's spine. It could withstand the instantaneous change from super high temperature to extremely low temperature.
But the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon was made of flesh and blood, so there was no way it could withstand the continuous change of thousands of degrees Celsius.
As it swelled up and shrank down, its cells cracked, and its flesh and bones became incredibly brittle.
Meng Chao controlled the 1,024 branch meridians meticulously, and in just a few seconds, he switched between the Fire Crystal and the Green Frost Stone a few times.
He was like a metal wire that had been repeatedly bent until it reached the limit of metal fatigue. He used the principle of swelling up and shrinking down to reduce the fragility of the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon's flesh.
At that moment, the crystalized neurosphere from the Terror Dragon shone with layers of fierce light.
"Demon Subduing Slash!"
The spirit tattoos on Meng Chao's arms seemed to have come out of his body and wrapped around the blade. Then, with the help of the crystalized neurosphere from the Terror Dragon, they gushed out three meters away.
It looked like a huge saber that could kill a dinosaur. With just one slash, it accurately cut into the wound where he had repeatedly struck the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon, and as if there was no one around, he cut off the Will o' the Wisp Dragon's head!
Meng Chao exerted force in his muscles, and with the help of the spirit tattoos, he displayed matchless strength.
Regardless of whether it was the Four Great Kings of Agricultural University's martial arts course or the four specially recruited students who were even stronger, their hearts surged. They were incredibly shocked.
And this was not the end.
The Will o 'the Wisp Dragon had its head cut off, but it was not dead yet. Instead, something that looked like a man-eating flower but also like a mutated organ crawled out of its bloody cavity. It let out hissing sounds and swung its thousands of tentacles to bite Meng Chao's neck.
But Meng Chao seemed to have expected this change a long time ago. Right when the tip of the Surging Lightning Flagship touched the ground, he lifted it up and stabbed the ugly flower of flesh from the bottom up. Even the hilt nearly sank in.
His spirit energy surged, and the low temperature spirit energy magnetic field contained in the Green Frost Stone surged repeatedly. It froze the flower of flesh and blood as well as the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon's carcass into ice. Even the tentacles that were dancing madly like bloody vines became sluggish and stiff.
Meng Chao let go of the saber hilt and crouched down a little, allowing the spiked tentacles to brush past his head by a hair's breadth.
He flung his rainproof windbreaker behind him and brought out two miniature submachine guns that were not much bigger than pistols from his waist. They were much fiercer than pistols, and he aimed at the frozen flower of flesh. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! He fired all the bullets in one go.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Juices spilled everywhere. The flower of flesh screeched in pain before it was torn to pieces!
Meng Chao was still worried. He would not give the flower of flesh the chance to revive. He wiped his hands across his legs, and with a movement that would make even Han Xing gasp in admiration, he reloaded a new clip.
Once he emptied three clips, he threw away the miniature submachine guns and went to Xie Feng, Sun Ya, and the others. He picked up his backpack and brought out a silver-white liquid nitrogen spray. Then, he returned to the mangled carcass of the Wisp o 'the Wisp Dragon and brought out two Surging Lightnings. Then, he sprayed the liquid nitrogen for a full half a minute before he sighed in relief. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"…"
He looked like a butcher working on an assembly line with great familiarity, and it shocked everyone.
Then, he lifted his combat windbreaker and brought out nearly one hundred dissection and harvesting tools. He cut the carcass of the Wisp o 'the Wisp Dragon into pieces like a butcher butcher butchering an ox shocked everyone.
Even though many people knew that Meng Chao had a background as a harvester, this was a Grade Three superbeast.
It was even an evolved and mutated version of an unknown creature. It contained great value and countless secrets. It should have been brought back to the base so that the monster experts could study it carefully. But he … harvested it just like that?
The group surrounded him and watched as Meng Chao brought out refrigerated storage jars and sealed bags from his military backpack, which looked like a Hundred Treasures Pouch. Then, he separated the Wisp o 'the Wisp o' the Wisp Dragon's claws, brain matter, bones, and organs into different categories before he sealed them with familiar movements. Their mouths were dry, and they did not know what to say.
Suddenly …
There was a hiss. A few blood-red vines in the Wisp o 'the Wisp o' the Wisp Dragon had not completely frozen. They jumped at Meng Chao's face like venomous snakes.
Meng Chao did not even blink. With three light pecks with the forceps, he caught the three blood-red vines, cut them off at the roots, and put them into his bag.
The group sucked in sharp breaths. Shao Jianqing could not help but ask, "You're harvesting the Will o 'the Wisp here? Isn't it … too dangerous? "
Moreover, this was too sloppy!
He was clearly a one-star superhuman, but he had forcefully harvested the evolved and mutated version of a Grade Three superbeast. If things went wrong, he might cause the monster materials to mutate again at any moment and turn its carcass into a biochemical bomb!
Meng Chao focused and did not even raise his head. "This superbeast might be dead, but its cells are still very active. If we don't harvest it immediately but freeze it at a very low temperature and send it back to the base, there's still a possibility that it will rot and explode, and its research value will be greatly reduced."
Shao Jianqing asked hesitantly, "Do you know how to kill a Will o 'the Wisp Dragon?"
"I've seen it before." Meng Chao paused for a moment before he added, "In a book."
The group was speechless. Meng Chao had only read a few textbooks or monster harvesting manuals, and he dared to attack the mutated Will o 'the Wisp Dragon? They did not know whether they should admire his courage or break out in cold sweat because of his audacity.
"What's this?"
Shao Jianqing gasped for breath and pointed at the Bloody Flower fragments that Meng Chao had frozen and stored in a low-temperature storage device.
Even though the fragments were already shattered and were suppressed by the temperature that was dozens of degrees Celsius below zero, they still hissed and squirmed slowly. They stuck to the edge of the storage device and left behind blood-red marks.
"This is a Blood Flower. It's the one that turned the Fire Feather Dragon into this state," Meng Chao explained.
"Even though it's called a Blood Flower, it's actually a strange lifeform that's similar to a fungus. It likes to live as parasites in monsters and strengthen the functions of monsters' cells. It's similar to the zombie virus that's often found in humans.
"But this thing is even more terrifying than the zombie virus. It can secrete a unique substance that can twist gene chains and make living creatures appear in all sorts of monstrous and terrifying forms.
"Usually, when the host is still alive, the Blood Flower will enter a dormant state. At first glance, it's no different from a normal parasite, but it secretly absorbs the host's energy to survive. Once the host dies, the Blood Flower will be activated and take over the host's body to enter an even more terrifying second life form.
"This is why the Fire Feather Dragon went through a zombie transformation right after it died and turned into a Will o 'the Wisp Dragon."
The group looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces.
"I've only heard of Blood Grass before. It's a very powerful fungus-like lifeform that lives as parasites in all sorts of monsters. It's the main reason why monsters turn into zombies."
Shao Jianqing frowned a little. "But Blood Grass shouldn't be this violent!"
"Monsters are evolving, and so are fungus-like parasites. Blood Flowers are the evolved form of Blood Grass. Of course, they're far from the ultimate evolved form."
Meng Chao sighed. "In the near future, we might have to face more monsters that are infested by Blood Flowers. This battle is far from over!"
"You're … Meng Chao from Agricultural University's martial arts course, right?"
Xu Sheng controlled the mechanical body in the form of a spider war chariot to crawl over. He was still in shock. "Thank you for saving my life just now. I owe you one. But I noticed that before you executed your ultimate move, the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon suddenly swelled up, and its limbs couldn't touch the ground. It could only watch as your saber fell on its neck. What's going on?"
This was something that the group could not understand. It was the key to the battle.
Even though the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon had suddenly swelled up and felt as if its body was going to explode, Meng Chao would not be able to create a spirit energy magnetic field so easily and release Demon Subduing Slash.
"I injected something into its body." Meng Chao retrieved a syringe from a hidden spot on the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon's carcass.
No one noticed when he had stuck the syringe under the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon's butt and in the middle of its hind legs.
"What's this? Poison?" Xu Sheng could not understand what poison was so powerful.
"It's not poison. It's the blood from the hearts of around thirty Blade Shattering Pythons," Meng Chao said.
"When I came out to hunt just now, I ran into around thirty Blade Shattering Pythons and collected their blood. I can use it on the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon."
Everyone was enlightened.
The blood from a Blade Shattering Python's heart contained a lot of spirit energy, and it could be carefully made into gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid. If taken in moderation, it would be a holy tonic that could increase cultivation.
But before it was modified, it had injected the heart blood of thirty Blade Shattering Pythons into its body. The rampaging spirit energy was like a flood, and it destroyed its organs and limbs. Even with the Will o 'the Wisp Dragon's powerful body, it could not withstand it. Its effects were better than any poison.
"But how did you manage to 'casually' gather thirty Blade Shattering Pythons' heart blood?" Shao Jianqing and the other specially recruited students were puzzled.
Blade Shattering Pythons were just normal monsters.
However, when there were twenty to thirty of them, they were still quite difficult to deal with.
Shao Jianqing and the others were confident that they could kill around thirty Blade Shattering Pythons, but they could not guarantee that their hearts would still be in perfect condition and that they could extract enough heart blood.
They cast puzzled gazes at the Four Great Kings of Agricultural University's martial arts course behind Meng Chao.
The Four Heavenly Kings scratched their heads.
Forget about evaluating Meng Chao's methods, they did not even know how to describe them.
