C322 A Pool of Water and a Pile of Rubies

Now he hasn't found the location of the anomaly, just very close to it, and he doesn't think the explosion and the quake on the surface was caused by the giant tiger.

After about one mile into the forest, Ye Hongtian looked around vigilantly. According to the artifact spirit, the anomaly was not far ahead, only about ten or twenty steps away.

The trees here were very lush. Although it was only ten or twenty steps away from the place, Ye Hongtian couldn't see clearly what was in front of him. Every step he took would open up a thick leaf.

About twenty steps away, Ye Hongtian had walked for a quarter of an hour. Every step he took had to carefully observe his surroundings, his feet, his head, and even every leaf. Ye Hongtian had checked them with his soul power.

When he arrived at the epicenter, Ye Hongtian's first reaction was surprise and then shock. After a while, he had the impulse to turn around and run.

In front of Ye Hong Tian, there was a giant red wolf staring at Ye Hong Tian. Not only that, there were also giant apes, giant insects, and all kinds of creatures nearby.

These creatures all had a common characteristic, and that was that they all had a strange red color, the same situation as the giant tiger he had buried earlier.

Each creature had the cultivation of the ninth stage of the Void Origin Stage, similar to the giant tiger he had encountered before. One Ye Hongtian might be able to handle it, but two Ye Hongtian would be finished.

Fortunately, these creatures did not have the intention to attack him. They just stared at him, just like the giant tiger from before. This made Ye Hongtian a little more daring.

"The thing that caused the mutation is not far ahead. That thing blocked my investigation. I only saw a pool of water. I don't know anything else." The heavenly transformation artifact spirit said in Ye Hongtian's sea of consciousness.

Hearing this, Ye Hongtian lightly nodded. He first distanced himself from the giant wolf in front of him, and passed through many creatures to the place the Heavenly Transformation artifact spirit spoke of.

This place was a small pit. There were countless rubies near the pit that were swallowed by the ten thousand tree seeds. The small pit was the pool of water that the Heavenly Transformation artifact spirit spoke of.

Ye Hongtian's attention was completely attracted by the rubies around the small pit. His saliva kept dripping down and his hand couldn't help but reach for the rubies.

"Master!"

Just when Ye Hong Tian's hand was about to touch the rubies, the artifact spirit shouted in Ye Hong Tian's sea of consciousness, waking him up.

Recalling his own actions just now, Ye Hongtian couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He looked at the rubies in front of him with a serious face.

Even if Ye Hongtian wanted to get the rubies, he wouldn't be so reckless to get it. However, when he got close to the rubies, his desire and greed seemed to be magnified. He almost fell for it.

He turned his head and looked at the few creatures that were closer to him. Each creature had a piece of rubies on its body. It seemed that the effect of the rubies wasn't as simple as increasing strength.

Carefully bypassing the rubies, Ye Hong Tian turned his attention to the pool of water in the small pit.

This pool of water seemed to be no different from ordinary water, but there were many rubies in it. The originally clear water was reflected into a blood red color, like a pool of blood.

"Artifact spirit, I will try to touch this pool of water. If I have anything else to do, you will immediately use my soul power to attack my sea of consciousness. This way, I should be able to wake up." Ye Hong Tian said with a serious face.

Without waiting for the artifact spirit to respond, Ye Hongtian took a step forward and stood beside the small pit. He squatted down and gently touched the water in the pit with his hand.

As soon as his finger touched the water seed, it became restless. Then, the water seed automatically released a suction force and sucked the water into Ye Hong Tian's body from Ye Hong Tian's finger.

Even the surrounding rubies were sucked in. When he absorbed the water, Ye Hongtian still felt something. However, the moment the rubies entered his body, Ye Hong Tian suddenly felt his entire body heat up. A voice kept ringing in his head, as if it was brainwashing him.

Enduring this strange feeling, Ye Hong Tian waited for the ten thousand Dao Tree seeds to suck all the water into his body, then immediately retreated.

A few flashes passed by the motionless creatures beside him, Ye Hong Tian ran back the way he came, and soon arrived at the place where the giant tiger was buried.

After reaching this place, Ye Hong Tian fell down. Steam kept coming out of his body, but he curled up and trembled, as if he was especially cold.

Slowly, Ye Hongtian's skin turned blood-red, and his eyes turned red. He looked no different from the mutated creatures he had encountered before.

Ye Hongtian, who was curled up on the ground, let out a few low growls. His face was full of violence. Except for his abdomen, dantian, and heart, his entire body had turned blood-red.

At this moment, his body was undergoing a tremendous change. Countless rubies were stored in his dantian. The pool of water that had been absorbed by the ten thousand tree seeds was also in his dantian. It was fighting with Ye Hong Tian's liquefied purple gas true essence for Ye Hong Tian's dantian.

The true essence in Ye Hong Tian's dantian was not as much as the pool of water. The true essence was completely surrounded by the pool of water, and was slowly being assimilated.2

And just as the pool of strange water was assimilating the true essence, the ten thousand tree seeds opened their mouths. A suction force spread out. The true essence water along with a bit of true essence was sucked into the giant mouth of the ten thousand tree seeds.

After swallowing the strange water in his dantian, the ten thousand tree seeds began to crazily devour those red rubies. Now, there were at least thirty or forty red rubies stored in Ye Hong Tian's dantian. The ten thousand tree seeds were eating with relish.

As the ten thousand tree seeds devoured more and more rubies, the blood red color on Ye Hongtian's body became lighter and lighter. Soon, it was no longer that red. The ruthless expression on his face also faded a lot.

When the rubies entered his body just now, that feeling made him want to kill someone. He really wanted to kill someone. At that time, his mind was extremely clear. He was sure that his mind was not disturbed, but he wanted to kill someone and see blood.

This might be the reason why the rubies ignited the killing intent in his heart. Plus, the rubies stimulated his greed before, so killing him this time was not a strange thing.

When Ye Hong Tian was thinking about this, the ten thousand tree seeds had already swallowed all the rubies in his dantian. The blood red color on his body had also completely disappeared, and the blood red color in his eyes had also faded. Only a strong tiredness was left.

Wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, Ye Hong Tian barely stood up. He dragged his heavy body and leaned against a tree trunk. As soon as he leaned on it, he fainted.
