Chapter 456: Chapter 351 What is a Spirit Seed? The Root of the Strong among All Heavens and Thousands of Tribes!_1
 

“Bang!”

The loud crash resounded, but the attack by the giant pangolin only reached a centimeter away from Zheng Cheng’s body before it could no longer advance any further.

A pale cyan light shielded in front of him, blocking the assault completely.

Shock filled the eyes of the Blood Ghost Beast King, while its sharp fangs writhed.

“How is it possible, you…”

Before the words were fully spoken, Little Qing’s figure flew from behind Zheng Cheng, her magic wand steadily pointing at him.

The Penicillin Parasite Body Shield, which had been attached to Zheng Cheng, suddenly turned back and expanded, engulfing the entire Blood Ghost Beast King and forming a massive circle.

“What is this? Let me out!”

The Blood Ghost Beast King started to struggle fiercely, its sharp fangs and claws tearing incessantly at the Penicillin Parasite Body Shield, but no matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free from the confinement of the shield.

The Penicillin Parasite Body Shield, originally for defense and toxin repelling, now, in the hands of Little Qing, had transformed into a prison focused on control and trapping enemies.

It had to be said, this was a talent of Little Qing as an Elemental Elf of penicillin.

Zheng Cheng reached out and grabbed a golden Holy Light Fire, casually tossing it onto the Blood Ghost Beast King.

“Ah…!”

Agonized screams erupted, the Blood Ghost Beast King immediately letting out waves of intense cries of pain.

The golden Holy Light Fire clung to its body like a parasite, spreading rapidly and soon enveloping his entire body, burning fiercely.

“Damn you! I will kill you! Kill you!”

“Let me out now!”

“Blood Ghost Art: Ghost Scale Transformation!”

He roared again, blood mist surged from his body, and his scales turned a bloody red, as if clad in blood armor, temporarily keeping the golden Holy Light Fire at bay.

Even his sharp claws and fangs were coated in a layer of bloody light, increasing their strength.

Alas, it still could not break through the Penicillin Parasite Body Shield!

“Still able to use Blood Ghost Art… and having such a bizarre sensation…”

Zheng Cheng murmured to himself, looking at the Blood Ghost Beast King’s eyes filled with hatred and anger, as if recalling something, he subconsciously glanced toward the Earth Spirit Taishui lying quietly in place.

“My Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body technique is naturally the bane of undead creatures, but previously it had no effect on the Blood Ghost Beast race; I thought it was due to their unique nature.”

“But now it seems, the reason lies with… it!”

With that, his mind moved again, and a flickering, illusion-like flame appeared above his head, falling onto the Blood Ghost Beast King, which was enveloped by the Penicillin Parasite Body Shield.

“Ah…!”

A piercing scream came forth from the Blood Ghost Beast King, who began to wriggle on the ground, struggling with all its might.

An illusionary flame burst forth from above its head, engulfing its body in an instant and burning wildly.

The flesh was consumed by the golden Holy Light Fire.

The soul, by the illusory void fire.

Under the dual effects, the strength of the Blood Ghost Beast King’s struggle weakened progressively, eerily ghost-like.

“Ah…!”

It let out another burst of screams as if summoning something.

The Earth Spirit Taishui, which had been lying silently on the ground, suddenly wriggled, and filaments spread from its body, reaching out in the direction of the Blood Ghost Beast King.

“As expected…”

Zheng Cheng muttered.

The reason his Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body technique had been ineffective against the Blood Ghost Beasts lay with this Earth Spirit Taishui!

From his experience in a past life, Taishui, commonly known as Meat Ganoderma, was a rare conglomerate formed by fungi emerging from a combination of slime molds, bacteria, and mushrooms growing underground.

To be precise, it was neither animal nor plant, but a kind of fungus.

More plant-like in nature.

How could a fungus or plant possibly have emotions? Of course, it could avoid the burning of the Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body technique.

As a Spirit Seed, the Earth Spirit Taishui would have these characteristics.

And these Blood Ghost Beasts were derived from the Earth Spirit Taishui or, to say, their ability to become Blood Ghost Beasts hinged on this Earth Spirit Taishui.

To burn a Blood Ghost Beast with Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body was essentially to burn the Earth Spirit Taishui, naturally ineffective.

Now, Little Qing used the Penicillin Parasite Body Shield to sever the connection between the Blood Ghost Beast King and the Earth Spirit Taishui.

Without the support of the Earth Spirit Taishui, this Blood Ghost Beast King was nothing more than a special kind of undead monster beast.

At this moment, the Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body was precisely its nemesis!

As Holy Light Fire and void fire continued to burn on the body of the Blood Ghost Beast King, Zheng Cheng walked leisurely over to the Earth Spirit Taishui.

Oddly, the Earth Spirit Taishui did nothing to prevent Zheng Cheng’s approach, trembling slightly, its purpose unclear.

“So this is the Earth Spirit Taishui, one of the Spirit Seeds; indeed… it’s mysterious.”

What now lay before Zheng Cheng was a giant mass of flesh about five meters long, two meters tall, and two meters thick.

It looked… like an elephant with its limbs cut off.

The overall skin was a dark reddish-black, covered in densely packed strange patterns that, upon closer inspection, resembled a vast tangle of mystical runes.

The Central Radar Life Monitoring technique flashed, and the specific attributes of this Earth Spirit Taishui, appeared before his eyes.
