"Master, although this Mandrill has lost a lot of blood essence, its meat is still a great supplement.
"If we take it back and cook it for the children in the fort, it will definitely greatly increase their blood essence and satisfy their needs for martial arts!"
Then, Lu Zhishen pointed at the Mandrill that had been beheaded by Ji Ye and said.
The ancients said that the poor studied literature and the rich learned martial arts because martial arts consumed a lot of blood essence.
In particular, the cultivation of internal energy was not like the Earth's Boon, which absorbed natural energy. Instead, it was formed by transforming one's own blood essence. To continue, the most important thing was to replenish all kinds of food!
In the past, this was actually very difficult to do in the Twin Dragon Mount. After all, it was not a real remote mountain, and the wild animals there could not be enough for thousands of people to eat.
However, a large number of monsters had appeared in the settlements around the Twin Dragon Mount. In addition, there were only a few dozen people in the fort who met the requirements to learn martial arts, so they could completely practice martial arts by eating meat.
In particular, this Mandrill was an Extraordinary creature, and its flesh contained a lot of essence. One piece of meat was equivalent to several pieces of ordinary creatures.
In fact, the meat of the Black Serpent that Ji Ye killed also had the same quality. However, because the Black Serpent ate the people in the fort, no one was willing to eat its meat.
"There's no hurry!"
"Chief Lu, did you notice something? This Mandrill's retreat and escape direction are all in this direction. "
Ji Ye shook his head and then pointed in the direction where the beheaded Mandrill's corpse was facing.
"And at this distance, it was like an old horse that knew the way. It found a path in the forest.
"Legend has it that such wild mountain spirits will build a cave abode in the mountains, and most of them will have some special treasures. I suspect that its cave is nearby. Why don't we go and check it out first? "
Ji Ye's face was filled with interest.
Of course, this was only a speculation from some novels. However, the creatures in the Land of Inheritance were born from legends, so it was indeed possible!
More importantly, this world was filled with game-like rules, and in many games, powerful monsters would guard "treasure chests".
Lu Zhishen naturally had no intention of rejecting Ji Ye. After all, Ji Ye was the master, and what he said was not without reason.
As for finding the Mandrill's cave, it was not a difficult task at all, because Ji Ye was a professional at finding clues in the forest!
"This is it!"
Soon, Ji Ye found the Mandrill's cave. It was about one-third of the mountain's height, and the entrance was even covered with vines and rocks.
However, with Ji Ye's keen eyesight, he was able to find it.
After removing the cover of the cave entrance, the two of them immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance. Although it was just a whiff, it immediately made them feel refreshed.
"Is there really something?"
Lu Zhishen was a little surprised.
"Hmm, there's no danger …"
Ji Ye threw a stone into the wall. It hit the wall with a loud noise, but the monster did not rush in.
Then, the two of them walked in directly.
The cave was rather deep, and there were even two turns. The deeper they went, the darker the light became, but the stronger the fragrance.
After the two of them turned the second turn, a ray of light appeared in the already dark cave. It was sunlight shining from above the rocks at the top of the cave, through a gap that was connected to the outside world!
Under the sunlight, a dark red tree that was about a meter tall grew in the cave.
The source of the fragrance was a dozen or so crimson fruits about the size of a baby's fist hanging on the tree. Under the light above their heads, they emitted a crystalline glow like red agate.
[Red Pip]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]
[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]
[Description: A descendant of a degenerated Vermilion Fruit that mutated after being irrigated with a large amount of blood essence by a Mandrill. When the fruit is ripe, it can be eaten to increase one's Qi and blood to a certain extent. It can also cure some toxins.]
"Increase Qi and blood!"
When the two of them focused their attention and saw the attributes of the plant.
Immediately, their eyes widened, and their faces were filled with joy.
For martial arts, Qi and blood were the most important thing.
This was because only with sufficient Qi and blood could one not suffer losses in the process of converting it into inner strength.
In a sense, this Red Pip could not only strengthen one's physique, but it could also increase one's inner strength to a certain extent!
However, the dozen or so fruits on the tree were not the same color. Some were so red that they were almost transparent, while others were relatively dim. They were probably ripened differently.
In addition, there were signs that they had been picked.
Obviously, some of the ripened fruits had been eaten by the Mandrill. That was very likely the reason why it could reach Extraordinary Rank-2.
"Hey, it's not just the fruits. The soil under the tree has attributes too."
Ji Ye glanced around and noticed that the dark red soil under the tree was not ordinary either.
[Blood Soil]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]
[Rarity: Common]
[Description: After being infected by a large number of creatures and the Mandrill's own blood, the soil has changed. It can meet the growth requirements of some special Extraordinary plants.]
"Hmm, there are a lot of beast carcasses in this cave."
At this moment, Lu Zhishen noticed that there were many beast carcasses in the cave with the Red Pip as the center.
A one-meter-tall green wolf, a 300-400-kilogram wild boar, an adult leopard …
Ji Ye even found the carcass of a Siberian tiger in the cave. Such a creature was considered a top predator on Earth, but in the Land of Inheritance, it was completely a prey.
Obviously, because the Vermilion Fruit needed special soil to grow, to meet the requirements, the Mandrill had deliberately hunted a large number of creatures and used their blood to "irrigate" it. It was even willing to bleed itself to create this "Blood Soil."
As a result, the original "Degenerated Vermilion Fruit" mutated and became the current Red Pip!
"This Mandrill clearly has a certain level of intelligence. Fortunately, it's not too high."
Ji Ye's heart trembled slightly.
The Black Serpent had been very cunning when it feigned death. The high-level monsters in the Land of Inheritance definitely had higher intelligence than ordinary beasts.
"These two should be ripe. Chief Lu, let's each have one."
Ji Ye reached out and plucked the two with the most obvious smell from the tree and shared them with Lu Zhishen.
Some of the corpses piled up in the cave had even rotted. If it wasn't for the fragrance emitted by the Red Pip that suppressed the stench in the entire cave, no one would be able to enter this place.
Moreover, the nutrients of the Red Pip probably came from the blood of these dead beasts to a large extent.
However, Ji Ye naturally wouldn't give up on such a precious fruit just because it was disgusting.
