Chapter 95 The truth of [Blood Moon Secret Realm]
Under the sky full of cracks.
Countless sludge giants are endlessly changing and squirming, rising and falling like waves.
And the target they are chasing is an extremely small figure.
Chi!
Bloody sword light flashed in the darkness.
A ten-meter-tall flesh and blood giant, its legs were completely broken. After losing support, its huge body fell down.
After clearing the obstacles in front of him, Xia En raised his head and looked not far away, but his pupils could not help but shrink.
On the plain of flesh and blood there, there was a hill made of corpses.
Among them, there are blood slaves with deformed bodies, pale vampires, and burly pirates...
But in addition to them, there are also a lot of people in the mountain of corpses who look like ordinary civilians wearing simple clothes.
"...Who are they?"
Xia En's heart jumped suddenly, and something suddenly occurred to him.
The main body of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is a city.
Although there are many vampires in the city, they are obviously far less than the city's supposed population.
The empty and abandoned low-rise houses in the city undoubtedly prove this point.
So, where have the original owners of these houses, or in other words, the common people of this city, gone?
Xia En originally thought that they had all become the blood food of the vampire clan.
But now it seems that it is more than just that?
The corpses not far away, without exception, all look pale and shriveled, reminiscent of insect corpses that have been injected with digestive juices by spiders and then sucked clean.
To be precise, it was just a fragile empty shell.
In the center of the mountain where the empty shells are piled up, there is a tall and strange "tree."
Its skin is dark red, very rough, like the veins of blood vessels The slight rhythm on it seems to be transporting some mysterious nutrients.
It is said to be a "tree", but it does not have any leaves and its surface is bare.
Only numerous whisker-like "branches" extend from the main trunk.
At the end of each "branch", there are one or two relatively fresh corpses hanging there like heavy fruits.
Once "mature", it will fall to the ground and turn into one of those empty shells.
“Is this the trunk of the [Crimson Ancient Tree]?”
“No, it’s more like... some kind of organ used to absorb nutrients.”
Xia En speeded up again, avoided the siege of several flesh and blood giants, came to the side of the "tree", and gently reached out to touch it.
[The roots of the crimson ancient tree]
[Type: Material]
[Quality: Epic]
[Description: The crimson ancient tree is buried deep in the secret realm. Roots. 】
【Absorbing the power of flesh and blood and the secret sea all day long, in order to maintain the existence of the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". 】
[Legend has it that the original "Crimson Mother Tree" gave birth to the earliest vampire - the Scarlet Lord. 】
【Therefore, the "Crimson Ancient Tree", the descendant of the "Crimson Mother Tree", has always been worshiped as a holy tree by the vampires. 】
【This ancient tree has possessed powerful mysterious power since ancient times. 】
【If you sacrifice a lot of flesh and blood to it, you can even hide in the gap between the "secret sea" and reality, right? 】
“It’s really a root…”
Xia En's heart was shaken, and at the same time enlightenment arose in his heart.
The information in this description completely connects all the previous clues!
Since the Vampires need the blood stone secreted by the [Crimson Ancient Tree] as food, why would they place its trunk in this exiled land?
And the roots... are obviously buried deep underground.
Combined with the information that it is extremely close to the [Secret Sea] and a gathering place for a large amount of waste.
The truth is already coming out——
This space is located on the back side of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]!
You can reach this place deep underground in the city, across an extremely long distance!
The vampires use a special method to continuously throw corpses here to "fertilize" the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. The squeezed waste and empty shells are accumulated here generation after generation, and under the influence of the [Secret Sea], they become [blasphemous flesh and blood].
It is precisely because of this layer of [Desecrated Flesh and Blood] as a barrier.
Even if the film that isolates the [Secret Sea] cracks, or even becomes thinner and disappears, the Vampires will not care too much.
After all, nothing that happens in this exile will affect their life on the surface.
Actually, Xia En had made some guesses before.
Just because of the reversal of gravity, I was still doubtful for a while.
"And...the ancient crimson tree...sacrifice flesh and blood...hide in the cracks..."
Xia En glanced at the empty shells of those suspected civilians and confirmed another thing.
When the "Great Flood" came, different kingdoms and cities used different methods to continue the fire of civilization.
And this group of vampires held a grand bloody ceremony and sacrificed all the civilians in the city.
Then the entire city sank into the [Secret Sea] and turned into a [Secret Realm] isolated from the world.
As time went by, some vampires left the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and thrived on Silver Moon Island.
Maybe it’s because you don’t want to leave your homeland, or because the environment here is more suitable for the vampires to survive, or for other reasons...
There are also a large number of vampires living in the [Secret Realm] , unwilling to leave.
In order to meet their survival needs, but also to maintain the existence of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].
The vampires who were the first to leave fabricated the lie of [Blood Moon Night] to attract treasure hunters on the sea to fall into their trap.
"This should be the whole truth..."
Xia En's thoughts were rising and falling, silently digesting this shocking secret.
However, compared to these truths.
What he cares more about is whether his previous bold idea can succeed?
Xia En looked at the thickest and tallest root in front of him. Its end had submerged into the broken sky and was vaguely connected to the [Secret Sea] outside.
Will this root contain the power of the [Secret Sea]?
The faint attraction in the intuition seems to confirm this.
But on the other hand, this [Crimson Ancient Tree] looks very powerful, so I’m afraid it’s not that easy to offend.
"Fight! Give it a try, the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle!"
Without hesitation, Xia En gritted his teeth, picked up the big sword and slashed hard at the root.
clang!
The roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] are unusually hard, and a sound like the sound of metal and stone can be heard.
Xia En's sword, which was enough to cut open the flesh and blood giant's body, only left a shallow wound on its surface, from which a drop of deep, viscous blood seeped out.
“What a guy, you’re so hard!”
Xia Encai just sighed, and an extremely angry roar sounded in his mind.
This roar was timeless and ancient, with a shocking power that made Xia En even feel terrified.
Immediately, this root began to tremble violently, and the strange secret power expanded outward.
The next moment.
The empty corpses that were lying around the roots suddenly opened their eyes.
Those chaotic scarlet eyes are filled with madness and chaos!
The sticky and dirty [blasphemous flesh] crazily poured into their bodies, making them glow with new vitality and vitality.
At the same time, more flesh and blood giants are rising from the ground around the roots.
They squirmed, flowed, and gathered together, making disgusting whispering sounds, and finally gathered into a figure tens of meters high and strode over.
The ground shook with its movement.
Xia En's complexion changed slightly, and he only had time to reach out and touch the strange drop of root blood.
boom! ! !
With a loud noise, the flesh and blood giant stepped on him with huge force!
