Chapter 11 Expanding the Scope of Control
When the fog in the chaotic forest dissipated, the previous calm was restored.
The scattered corpses have long been cleaned up.
【Five humans have just died in your area, and five residual souls have been obtained, which have been absorbed by themselves. 】
Like a sponge that has been dry for a long time suddenly absorbing water.
Xu Ke felt that his weak strength was revitalized again.
The control over this land seems to be wider...
In an instant, the control area suddenly expanded to nearly double.
It covers almost the entire surrounding area within its own scope.
Including a hillside and a river flowing through it. There is even a farmland next to the river.
Xu Ke, who was limited to the original land, finally had a large space for activities.
No more standing there looking at trees, clouds, and ants.
There are a lot more scenery to enjoy.
The increase in the scope of control also means that the resources Xu Ke possesses have doubled.
Yin energy, evil energy, and all kinds of mysterious but unspeakable things seem to have increased significantly.
Not only Xu Ke's abilities have been improved.
The Ghost Infant Tree, which had a full meal in one breath, also began to evolve violently.
[The growth progress of the Ghost Baby Tree has reached 35%, and the roots are growing vigorously. 】
From an underground perspective, you can see that the originally slender roots of the Ghost Baby Tree quickly become thicker and longer.
Taking root in the ground, it absorbs nutrients many times faster than before.
[The ghost baby tree gains the ability ‘Deadwood Rejuvenation’]
[Deadwood Rejuvenation: After the body is damaged, the speed of recovering from the injury is increased by ten times. It can also consume a large amount of nutrients to quickly recover all injuries in a short period of time. 】
In less than half a day, Xu Ke saw that the ghost baby tree had grown up in a full circle.
And there are a few flower bones faintly appearing on the tree, and it seems that the flowering season is about to come.
If the Ghost Baby Tree blossoms and bears fruit, the fruits it produces will be extremely precious and rare treasures, and each one is extremely precious.
…………
Early the next morning.
Li Sheng had just come out of his home and not far away when he saw some passers-by hurried away with pale faces as if they were hiding from the god of plague.
At first I thought it was an exception, but it seemed to be the case for several pedestrians I met in a row.
It was as if I had seen a ghost, and I was afraid to come forward to contact him.
Until he came to the shore and was about to row a boat to catch fish on the river.
Xiao Chen, who had a pretty good relationship with him, looked at Li Sheng in shock and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Li, have you moved today?"< br>
“Moving?”
Li Sheng didn’t understand what medicine Xiao Chen was selling in his gourd, and asked with a frown:
"Speaking of which, as soon as I went out today, I felt that everyone who knew me looked weird."
"Is it possible that some rumors were spread in my family?"
Xiao Chen heard this. Knowing that Li Sheng had no idea what was happening near his home.
Then he hurriedly pulled Li Sheng aside and whispered:
"It's not that something happened to your family, but the dangerous place where your family is... the city. The wealthy businessman Mr. Fang took people there and killed seven people in one breath."
"Even the government was alerted. They said they would send people there to detect traces of evil spirits when the county's manpower was freed up."
Seven lives?
“Everyone knows that our family lives in that wretched place.”
“If you don’t want to die and seven people died in one breath, you should move to another place quickly. "
Li Sheng frowned first, then waved his hand and said:
"It's just a fuss. People say that my place is a dangerous place, but I feel that it is a blessed place."
If it were in the past, Li Sheng might just be lucky and reluctant to part with the free house where he could live as he pleased. But later Xu Ke entrusted him with his dream twice, and the reward promised by Xu Ke never failed.
Li Shengzhen felt that that place was indeed a geomantic treasure protected by the land lord.
At least my family has not encountered any bad luck since they moved in.
His wife is pregnant, and he is blessed by the land lord. He is talented and diligent and has achieved success in practice.
"Besides, who is Mr. Fang?"
"We in Tianhu County don't know who doesn't know."
"Everything their family earns is unjust. They made a lot of money, bullied and dominated the market, and their family did all kinds of things, including male theft and female prostitution."
Li Sheng said disdainfully:
"Who knows what they went there for? They probably did something bad and must have received retribution."
Speaking of this, Li Sheng suddenly thought of the dead bodies that appeared inexplicably in the jungle.
Is it just a coincidence?
How could Master Fang, such a wealthy businessman, bring people to this so-called dangerous place inexplicably.
Besides, if this place is really extremely dangerous, how come my husband and I have lived there for so long without feeling anything amiss.
After thinking about it, Li Sheng also decisively decided not to be fooled by these rumors.
No matter how ferocious he is, can he be more ferocious than the unpredictable and unpredictable human hearts in this world?
Li Sheng thanked his friend for his advice, and then rowed his boat again to the river to fish.
But he did not immediately cast the fishing net to catch fish.
Instead, he checked repeatedly left and right to avoid others discovering his strangeness.
After confirming that there were no other ships nearby, Li Sheng gently cut the back of his hand with a knife.
A few drops of blood dripped down the fingertips into the river.
In just a moment, Li Sheng had caught them all.
There are not only all kinds of fat and big live fish.
There were actually three carps with a light golden color all over their bodies and green light flowing in their eyes.
He had heard from his godfather Qin Chuanan that fish with this kind of characteristics was a rare but rare item in the fisherman's profession.
I haven’t seen an ordinary fisherman in ten years.
Even if you see it, very few can catch it in the net.
It is said that this fish accidentally ate a few drops of dragon blood in the river, and gained good fortune and enlightenment.
Although he has no magical powers, he is extremely intelligent and can seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
Ordinary fishermen would never be able to catch such a precious spiritual fish, whether fishing or fishing.
Therefore, once this spiritual fish is caught by a fisherman, it will be able to fetch a sky-high price of more than a hundred taels each.
It can be said that the price is equivalent to gold. One tael of fish meat and one tael of gold are extremely precious.
If cooked correctly, not only will the fish be extremely delicious, but it will also leave a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.
It can also make people live longer and stronger, which is more effective than any precious ginseng and Ganoderma.
Even Qin Chuanan himself can count the number of spirit fish he has caught in his lifetime with two hands.
The reason why Li Sheng was able to catch the spirit fish so easily was also able to catch so many plump fresh fish.
The biggest reason is that he accidentally discovered the specialness of his own flesh and blood a few days ago.
That day when he was casting a net for fishing, his finger was accidentally pricked by the body of the fish, and a few drops of blood spilled into the lake.
Inexplicably, a group of fish came to snatch the few drops of blood.
Among them was a spiritual fish hidden nearby, which allowed Li Sheng to return home with a full load.
Later, Li Sheng also tried using other people's blood, and found that only his own blood seemed to have such miraculous effects.
Although he didn’t know whether it was a disaster or a blessing, Li Sheng was really excited for a while.
This will at least give Li Sheng a skill and he will no longer have to worry about making money in the future.
And as Li Sheng dripped blood into the lake, even other fishermen noticed that there seemed to be more fish and shrimp in the lake recently.
It seems that the fish and shrimps in other waters are attracted by something, and they all converge towards their small Tianhu County.
