Earth脉 are also equivalent to spirit veins.
Humans have blood vessels, and mountains have earth veins. If a person's blood vessels have no blood, they will die in an instant. If the earth veins in a mountain have no spirit, the mountain will collapse and the ground will cave in.
Human blood is easy to obtain, but earth veins are hard to find. Over countless years, there have always been cultivators who wanted to extract magic power from the mountains and earth veins to improve their cultivation. But aside from a very few secret methods that can do it, not many cultivators can utilize earth veins.
After all, the power of earth veins is not only difficult to absorb, but also difficult to digest. It's like a person eating a stone, it will be very uncomfortable in the stomach. So even if there are secret methods that can extract the power of earth veins, the digestion time is often dozens or hundreds of times longer than that of ordinary cultivators.
It is precisely because of various drawbacks that there are very few cultivators who rely on earth veins for cultivation. If you can see them, they are all old monsters who don't often wander in the world.
Hongluan had only heard that there were earth vein cultivators in the world, but she had never seen such a strange thing that could absorb the power of earth veins.
But now this view has been shattered by the scene in front of her. She saw a piece of flesh-lumped land absorbing the power of earth veins.
"What exactly is this thing! It can actually absorb the power of earth veins!" Hongluan said in horror.
She knows that once the earth vein power of Buzhou Mountain is completely absorbed, then within a hundred miles, nothing will grow. When Buzhou Mountain collapses, the consequences will be more than just affecting the three prefectures. It may even change the dragon veins of the entire Dagan, and perhaps that will be the real disaster.
"No matter what it is, we can't let it absorb the earth veins of Buzhou Mountain. Otherwise, the sky will collapse and people will perish, and the twenty-four prefectures of Dagan will be plunged into misery." Jiang Wen's expression was slightly cold, and he felt puzzled by the person who had set up such a situation.
The twenty-four prefectures of Dagan have hundreds of millions of mortals. If Buzhou Mountain falls, the resulting earthquake would be more than just a magnitude seven or eight. It would be a super earthquake affecting the entire Dagan, accompanied by volcanic eruptions, super tsunamis, and other disasters. By that time, the entire human world would probably suffer heavy losses, and the casualties would be more than just the people of Mingtai and Cang prefectures.
You should know that Mingtai and Cang prefectures are only the northernmost borders of Dagan, the most harsh environment, facing alien races and belonging to extremely cold lands. Not many mortals are willing to live here, not even as many as Dingzhou, which is close to the three prefectures.
And the six prefectures in the north together have only the population of one prefecture in the east. One can imagine how many people would die if Buzhou Mountain really collapsed and caused a disaster.
Could it be that the Righteous God Sect wants to use this method to usurp the throne? If that's the case, Jiang Wen looks down on these Righteous God Sect fellows.
"We can't let this guy continue to absorb the power of earth veins like this." Hongluan's expression was serious. She rarely showed such an expression. "If we can't stop this strange thing from absorbing the earth veins, the mortals will suffer. Since I am a disciple of the Myriad Worlds Gate, I should stop this. Even if I die here, I will have no regrets!"
After Hongluan finished speaking, she flew towards the giant mouth without looking back. Seeing her appearance, she was determined to stop this strange thing that was absorbing the earth veins, but she was still so impatient that she left without waiting for him to say anything.
"Shall we follow up too?" Agu looked at Jiang Wen with a revealing expression.
"Let's go, this girl definitely has no way to deal with that thing." Jiang Wen sighed with some headache, and then followed and flew away.
What they saw and heard along the way were all turbid fleshy lumps, and from time to time they could hear sharp cries from the fleshy lumps. He also understood what these fleshy lumps relied on to live, since there was no food here.
They were nothing more than parasites lying in the body of Buzhou Mountain, living by extracting the earth veins of Buzhou Mountain.
Not far from the big mouth, seeing that Hongluan was about to make a move, Jiang Wen grabbed her and smiled as he watched her struggle: "Why are you still so impatient?"
"Could it be that this grandma just watches it absorb the power of earth veins!" Hongluan said angrily.
"If I guessed correctly, this thing has existed for a while. It has absorbed a lot of earth vein power. It will not cause harm to Buzhou Mountain for the time being. And if you act so rashly, you might do something bad with good intentions." Jiang Wen said. "Let's go and investigate it to see what these things are. When we have enough information, we will completely eradicate them from Buzhou Mountain in one fell swoop."
"Okay, I'll listen to Big Brother Jiang." Hongluan calmed down and put away her double knives. She looked back at the big mouth that was still absorbing the power of earth veins, and her eyes flashed with anger. "I'll clean you up later!"
Landing on this fleshy land, Jiang Wen helped the two of them conceal their aura.
The ground under their feet was slightly elastic, like hardened pigskin that had been left for a few days. He stabbed it with a sword, and the sword went straight into the ground. When he pulled it out, it didn't bring any soil, only a thick layer of black grease. The grease was full of tiny creatures, slowly wriggling in the grease. It made people's goosebumps rise, and even Hongluan's scalp tingled.
"Perhaps that's really the case." Agu rarely spoke.
Looking at the mark where the sword was inserted, it was gradually filled with black grease. Then it healed, regenerated, and became complete in a few breaths. As if nothing had happened.
"We must not be careless." Jiang Wen walked in front, following his feeling and walking towards the big mouth.
The three discussed splitting up to check this place, perhaps they could gain something. Once they encountered an emergency, they would use the communication talisman given by Jiang Wen, and he would rush over in time.
Jiang Wen walked into a forest of fleshy buds, looking at the tree-like objects that grew like fleshy buds on all sides, and he felt very disgusted in his heart.
To be honest, he had killed many people. He had seen the most cruel and disgusting scenes, but he was still a little disgusted by this scene of mental attack.
After all, he had seen many real pictures of cauliflower, and thinking about himself standing in the cauliflower, how disgusting it would be.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he explored the surrounding situation with his spiritual sense. There were blood vessels flowing in these fleshy buds, and they all lived like things growing on a human body.
The only difference was that there were no viruses or bacteria, only towering fleshy buds rising from the ground.
After walking for a few more miles, he saw a cave hidden in the flesh forest. If you didn't use your eyes to look, it would be difficult to find that narrow cave entrance. Even if his spiritual sense swept across the surroundings, he couldn't find this cave entrance.
This strange flesh and blood land has a great restriction on the spiritual sense of cultivators. He didn't know if it was because the earth was a living thing, or if there was something here that affected the spiritual sense.
For safety's sake, Jiang Wen didn't go in directly. He took out an unmanned vehicle from his storage bag and controlled the unmanned vehicle to slowly drive into the cave.
He saw countless protruding fleshy lumps in the cave, curved and twisted, covered with thick black hair. From time to time, tiny things jumped, then cracked their mouths and showed their sharp teeth to bite the unmanned vehicle.
It's a pity that the unmanned vehicle is made of metal, and no matter how these little things bite, it's useless.
As he went deeper, he reached the end.
Jiang Wen saw a hall. Countless people were bound by chains on the walls around the hall. Their brains were all pierced by a blood vessel, and each person's expression showed pain.
One of them looked familiar. Jiang Wen zoomed in on the picture and saw that it was the old ranger Chi Gong, who had interacted with him before.
He would actually be here? Jiang Wen thought to himself.
