Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 265 Dragon Blood Tree!

This is a strange tree that is six meters tall and as thick as a water tank. The roots are intertwined and the trunk is dark red and dull, with a metallic hard color, as if it is made of red copper and fiery gold. What is particularly strange is that the bark of this tree is like dragon scales, covered with densely packed bumps.

The branches are strong and gnarled, and the leaves are emerald green, as big as a cattail fan, as if they were carved from jade.

Especially on the branches, there are more than a dozen red exotic fruits hanging.

Each of these fruits is as big as a basketball and shaped like an egg, with fine scaly patterns all over the surface, bright red like blood, just like a bunch of strange-shaped giant eggs.

Obviously, this tree is a rare spiritual root!

And most of them are extremely precious spiritual roots, and the fruits on them should have some magical effects.

However, instead of being delighted, Gu Yuan stopped with great vigilance.

He watched carefully for a moment and noticed something unusual.

The divine sense probed forward. The closer it got to the strange tree, the lower the temperature became. There was even a slight chill near the tree.

This is not because the strange tree has a cold nature, but because the heat within a radius of dozens of miles around it is continuously absorbed by it.

As the heat disappears, the temperature naturally drops.

But what kind of spiritual root can absorb the fire power of dozens of miles? Even the scorching magma was extinguished, the fire power was absorbed, and it became dry and hard.

There is no doubt that this strange tree must have an astonishing origin!
"and many more……"

Gu Yuan frowned, vaguely remembering something.

He remembered that there were some records in a rare ancient book.

It is said that there is a spiritual root in this world called the "Dragon Blood Treasure Tree", which grows from the place where dragon blood drips. Its bark is shaped like dragon scales, and its trunk is thick and hard, comparable to pure gold and spiritual iron. It is an excellent material for refining magical instruments and even magic treasures.

The bark and leaves each have their own effects.

Especially the dragon blood fruit grown on it, which contains the essence of dragon blood, can cleanse the body, nourish the physique, strengthen the bones, and has a wonderful effect.

It can be said that the whole body is a treasure, and it is not an ordinary treasure.

For an ordinary dragon blood tree, it would be considered good if it could reach a height of about ten feet after thousands of years.

The dragon blood tree in front of him had already reached a height of six meters, and no one knew how many years it had been growing.

Although most of the dragons in the world are water-based creatures, a few are divided into fire dragons, gold dragons, etc., and their five elements are not the same.

The one in front of me obviously grew from the dragon blood dripping from a fire dragon.

"This dragon blood tree has been growing for countless tens of thousands of years. The medicinal power of these dragon blood fruits must be astonishing, and has accumulated to an incredible level. They are at least first- or second-grade spiritual medicines."

Gu Yuan's eyes were filled with fervor: "If we could pick just one, it would be enough to completely transform us!"

Today, because he has repeatedly obtained the talents of spiritual pets, he has been reborn many times and possesses the amazing talents he has today.

Gu Yuan is gifted in water, gold, sword, thunder, and alchemy.

If he gets a dragon blood fruit, he will definitely undergo another transformation!
Moreover, this spiritual fruit can also enhance the strength of the body. Maybe it can make his body so strong that even ordinary magic weapons cannot hurt him at all.

"If Shen Yuming were here and saw this Dragon Blood Tree, he would probably be extremely excited."

Gu Yuan said secretly.

Shen Yuming was born in the Poison Dragon Cave and was a disciple of the powerful Yangshen Poison Dragon Venerable. It was said that he possessed true dragon blood, and his astonishing talent stemmed from this.

If this person could obtain this dragon blood fruit, he would definitely be able to tap into his own potential and enhance his true dragon bloodline. The benefits would be innumerable.

"There must be a reason why this dragon blood tree has been able to grow here for so many years, safe and sound, intact!"

Gu Yuan pondered, and had some guesses in his mind: "Where the heavenly materials and earthly treasures are born, there must be spiritual beasts guarding them."

"If ordinary natural treasures are like this, there's no need to say more about this Dragon Blood Treasure Tree."

He glanced around with his bright eyes: "There must be some terrifying spirit beast nearby, or some kind of danger hidden..."

After taking a quick look around, Gu Yuan didn't find anything.

He was not surprised. After all, if there really was some guardian spirit beast here, it must be something extraordinary, so it was normal that he couldn't find it.

"Never mind. The Dragon Blood Tree may be precious, but my life is more important."

Gu Yuan sighed lightly and made a decision:

"In that case, I'd better leave here first with my real body. Once I'm far away, I'll test it with my fake body."

"If it succeeds, that would be the best. Even if it doesn't, I won't lose anything. Besides, my goal isn't the entire Dragon Blood Tree, but the fruits on it. I don't need too many, one or two will be enough. This way, the difficulty should be reduced, right?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan bypassed this place and continued moving forward.

After he had flown for over a thousand kilometers, he changed direction several times to make sure that no one was following him and that he had left no traces. Only then did he release a wisp of white smoke.

The smoke spread and soon turned into the fake body of Gu Yuan.

"..."

Gu Yuan stared at the fake body for a few seconds, exchanged glances with it, and then the fake body emitted a flash of light, transformed into a thin smoke, and returned to the original route, flying towards the direction of the Dragon Blood Tree.

As for Gu Yuan himself, he shared the perspective of the fake body, controlling the fake body while his real body continued to fly into the distance.

After practicing for this period of time, Gu Yuan's magical power of mirror flowers and water moons became more and more proficient, and the fake body he condensed became more and more real.

At this time, the fake body completely concealed its own shape and breath. Unless it was a cultivator with special magical powers or a ferocious beast, no one would be able to discover anything.

As they got closer, Gu Yuan became more cautious and felt a certain amount of pressure in his heart.

The same was true even for the fake body he used.

It was not that he himself was nervous, but because there seemed to be a special kind of oppression surrounding the Dragon Blood Tree.

This pressure was like a mountain, weighing heavily on Gu Yuan's heart.

"Could this pressure be..."

The fake body Gu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and thought of a possibility. He looked at the dry stone ground below him with a bit of solemnity, and all the energy in his body was restrained. He looked like a piece of stone or a piece of dead wood, without revealing any breath, and his presence was very low.

What kind of spiritual beast can possess such a strong pressure? The answer is simple. In the world of cultivation, generally speaking, only spiritual beasts like dragons often possess dragon power!
Dragons are inherently lustful, but they are also divine beasts, noble and domineering. Their dragon blood often emits a certain amount of oppression, intentionally or unintentionally.

Moreover, this dragon blood tree is often the most beneficial to the dragon bloodline.

Therefore, Gu Yuan had reason to suspect that there was a dragon hidden here! Or perhaps some other kind of dragon!
