Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

"We won!"

"The Crimson-Scaled Serpent is finally dead."

"Director Zhou is awesome! Grandmaster Chen is awesome!"

Countless soldiers were so excited that their eyes turned red; some collapsed to the ground, clutching their guns and panting heavily.

Li Ergou's phone was still lying on the ground, and the camera just happened to capture the scene of the Crimson Scale Python's head hitting the ground.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Holy crap! They really killed it! The fifth-tier demonic python is dead!"

"Director Zhou and Master Chen really held on! Brothers, I cried, I really cried! Did the squad leader and the others see that? We won!"

Just as everyone was cheering, the blood patterns on the corpse of the Crimson Scale Python suddenly lit up.

A chilling wisp of blood-red light emerged from between the eyebrows of the Crimson Scale Python's head.

This blood-red light was the original blood-red fleshy essence imprinted in the sea of ​​consciousness of the Crimson Scaled Python.

After being killed by Zhou Zhenshan, the Crimson Scale Python, having lost its host body, immediately tried to escape.

He wanted to take advantage of the moment when everyone was cheering to sneak back into the depths of Chixia Ridge.

Zhou Zhenshan immediately sensed something was wrong, turned around abruptly, and said coldly, "Still trying to run?"

He raised his hand and grabbed, and the golden-red blood energy transformed into a large hand, directly grabbing at that wisp of blood light.

But the blood-red light was extremely strange. It was like a living thing, splitting into two halves in an instant. One half was grabbed by Zhou Zhenshan's blood-blood hand and immediately dissipated.

The other half burrowed into an underground fissure and fled towards Chixia Ridge.

Lu Cang's expression changed: "Director Zhou, half of them have escaped!"

Just as Zhou Zhenshan was about to give chase, a burst of green light suddenly emanated from the depths of the ground, and a green lotus root silently emerged, directly entangling the half-section of blood light.

The blood-red light struggled frantically, and the next second, the surface of the azure lotus root burst with azure light, and the other half of the blood-red flesh essence was dragged into the ground by the azure lotus root.

Zhou Zhenshan's face darkened; he could tell at a glance that the Lord of the Azure Lotus had made his move.

……

In the center of Black Dragon Lake, Chu Zhou's roots plundered half of the blood-colored flesh embryo's origin, and the blood-colored flesh embryo's origin even tried to retaliate.

But as soon as they got close to the Azure Lotus, a system notification sounded.

"Ding, blood eye fragment detected."

Pollution intensity: High.

"Should we devour and purify it?"

Chu Zhou did not hesitate and chose to devour it directly.

The next moment, the blood-red flesh essence was forcibly absorbed by the roots of the green lotus, and a cold, bloodthirsty power, under the purification of the system, turned into pure energy and surged into Chu Zhou's body.

"Ding, devoured Blood Eye fragment."

"Purification successful, Evolution Points +900000".

"Ding, successfully purified by devouring the remnant soul of a fifth-tier demonic python, evolution points +1200000."

"Ding, special information fragment obtained: Door."

door?

Chu Zhou's heart stirred slightly.

Almost the instant the thought crossed his mind, blurry images began to appear before his eyes.

It was a pitch-black sea, and countless broken bones floated on its surface.

In the distance, a massive blood-red gate was half-open, and behind the crack, it seemed as if countless eyes were open. The scene lasted only a moment before disappearing completely.

The system beep sounded again.

"Insufficient information fragments; complete parsing is not possible."

Chu Zhou frowned, not expecting that the system would be unable to analyze the fragment information. What exactly was this so-called "door"?

What exactly are those countless bloodshot eyes in the world behind the door?

There is absolutely no way to investigate this.

In the ancient underground city, a strange rock suddenly spoke: "You saw it?"

Chu Zhou asked, "What is that door?"

The strange rock remained silent for a long time before finally whispering, "The place where the disaster began."

Chu Zhou's eyes flickered, and he quickly asked, "Explain more clearly."

Strange Stone sneered, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you now. With your current strength, you're not qualified to know. Even if you did know, you would only feel the gap in power and despair. All you need to know now is that the death of the Crimson Scale Python doesn't mean this matter is over."

"The fleshy embryo is still there, and the door will open sooner or later."

Chu Zhou immediately became displeased, his face darkening as he said, "Hey Little Stone, you're really something, talking so arrogantly. Is this how you talk to your master?"

Upon hearing this, the strange stone immediately flew into a rage: "Lotus Demon, who is your servant? You dare to call yourself my master? You're courting death!"

Chu Zhou was delighted. He had been waiting for Chu Zhou to reveal his true colors. Seeing that the strange stone's aura was unstable and its source was constantly leaking out, Chu Zhou directly manipulated his roots to envelop the strange stone.

In an instant, system notification sounds began to ring out continuously.

"Ding! Devoured the source of pollution, evolution points +15000"

"bite..."

In just a short while, the evolution points had been devoured by nearly 100,000, which the strange stone was unwilling to accept.

Golden runes swirled around the chains on the stone tablet of Bixi Town, continuously suppressing the seal. The strange stone cursed, "Lotus Demon, you're shameless."

Chu Zhou chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment."

The strange rock was pretending to be dead again. It really didn't want to pay attention to Chu Zhou anymore. This guy was an ingrate. He was a madman before, and now he's an ingrate. You can't get rid of him.

After teasing the cute little stone for a while, Chu Zhou didn't continue to provoke it; he figured he had to take his time to get what he wanted.

It would be quite strange if the strange stone ignored him from now on; Chu Zhou was really starting to like this guy more and more.

It seems quite interesting.

Pulling himself back to reality, he looked toward Crimson Cloud Ridge, where the phantom of the stone tablet appeared, exerting its power to suppress and seal, and the blood mist that had spread throughout the mountains was slowly receding.

According to the strange stone, that blood-colored fleshy embryo was not simple. Thinking of this, Chu Zhou did not continue to dig deeper. Now was not the time to touch the core.

He has already received enough benefits, and there is no need for him to release an unstable problem prematurely out of curiosity.

He manipulated the roots to withdraw from Crimson Cloud Ridge, leaving only a small number of roots lurking around the perimeter of Crimson Cloud Ridge, both for surveillance and to continue to fleece the Blood Nest in the future.

……

Battlefield in Nanjiang City.

Zhou Zhenshan looked at the lotus roots on the ground receding, his expression somewhat complicated.

Lu Cang stepped forward and said through gritted teeth, "Director Zhou, the Blood Eye fragment was taken by the Lord of the Azure Lotus."

Zhou Zhenshan nodded: "I saw it."

Lu Cang was somewhat unwilling: "Are we just going to let Him take it like that?"

Zhou Zhenshan glanced at him: "If He hadn't restrained the bloodthirsty beasts that were spreading around us, our casualties would have been much greater."

Lu Cang, harboring some secrets, said with a sense of frustration, "So, doesn't that mean the Lord of the Azure Lotus is just a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? And we'll have to thank him in the end?"

Zhou Zhenshan did not reply; his mood was equally somber and complex.

The Lord of the Azure Lotus has expanded his territory, extending it from a hundred meters to three hundred kilometers; this is a provocation.

Having experienced the events of Crimson Cloud Ridge and the underground seal, he felt heavy-hearted, as these factors were beyond his control.

Perhaps the expansion of the Qinglian Forbidden Zone is a good thing?

This absurd idea suddenly popped into his mind.
