Chapter 14
: The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Flesh Spirit Mushroom!
"boom--!!!"
The moment Jiang Han finished speaking, the water in front of him exploded with a roar.
It wasn't just an ordinary splash.
Instead, a black wall of water, twenty meters high, slammed against the shore with tremendous force!
That was the shockwave generated by the enormous creature swimming rapidly underwater!
"Grass!"
Jiang Han's pupils suddenly contracted.
This force is simply beyond what human strength can withstand!
He reacted extremely quickly, pushing off with his feet and leaping backward like a nimble ape, instantly shooting more than ten meters.
"Bang!"
The wall of water slammed hard against the rock where he had just been standing.
The boulder, which was as big as a truck, was smashed to pieces in an instant, with the fragments flying everywhere like bullets!
If he had been even half a second slower, Jiang Han would already be a pile of minced meat.
"hold head high--!!!"
A deafening roar came from the mist.
The sound was like both a bull's bellow and the scraping of metal, so loud it hurt your eardrums and made your heart tremble violently.
Although the viewers in the live stream were separated by a screen, many of them wearing headphones covered their ears and screamed, and some even had nosebleeds on the spot.
This is a sonic attack!
A single roar carries deadly power!
Jiang Han felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest, and a metallic taste rose in his throat once again.
But he couldn't care less about any of that.
Under the cover of the mist, he saw a huge black shadow slowly rising from within it.
too big!
The outline of its head alone was several times larger than that of the red-haired corpse demon from before!
"There's no way to fight this!"
Jiang Han's brain was working at lightning speed.
Although the Qilin bloodline is strong, his current level of awakening is too low, and his physical attributes have not yet reached the peak of non-human.
A direct confrontation will lead to certain death!
Just then, he caught a glimpse of a crack above the side wall of the cave.
The crack was extremely well hidden, blocked by several huge stalactites, and was only half a meter wide, just enough for a person to squeeze in sideways.
The key is……
The system marked the crack with a gold arrow on his retina!
[Notification: High-energy spiritual energy detected!]
[A glimmer of hope! That's the only way out!]
"Let's gamble!"
Jiang Han did not hesitate at all.
Just as the enormous black shadow opened its mouth again to exhale, he suddenly took a running start, stepped on the ribs of the true dragon skeleton, and soared into the air!
"Whoosh!"
He performed a folding motion in mid-air that defied the laws of physics, precisely slipping into the crack.
"Boom!"
The very next second after he crawled in, a jet of black water slammed into the rock wall at the crack, shaking the entire mountain.
so close!
Jiang Han pressed himself tightly against the rock wall inside the crack, panting heavily, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
The sounds of crashing and roaring outside continued. The huge creature seemed to have gone berserk because it couldn't catch the "bug," and it was frantically destroying everything around it.
However, the entrance to the crack was very small, but the inside was curved in an "S" shape, making it impossible for the enormous creature to enter.
Jiang Han turned on his powerful flashlight and shone it into the depths of the crack.
He was stunned when he saw it.
There was a hidden world inside.
Passing through the narrow passage, you enter a natural stone chamber that is only a few dozen square meters in size.
The walls of the stone chamber are inlaid with countless luminous crystals, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.
In the very center of the stone chamber, there is a naturally formed sunken stone pool.
The pool was filled with a milky white liquid, emitting a captivating fragrance.
Something was floating in the liquid.
It was a lump of flesh.
A lump of translucent, white as mutton fat, and even slightly trembling "flesh".
It has no fixed shape, and its surface has golden patterns like blood vessels. Every time it vibrates, it creates a visible ripple in the surrounding air.
Jiang Han only needed to smell the fragrance to feel all his fatigue disappear, and even the internal injuries he had just suffered began to heal with a dull ache.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! A legendary rare treasure has been discovered!]
[Item Name: Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Dragon Vein Flesh Ganoderma (Supreme Tai Sui)!]
[Efficacy: Born from the millennia-old essence released after the death of a true dragon. Consuming it can greatly strengthen the physical body, repair genetic defects, and has a very high probability of awakening the second stage of the Qilin bloodline!]
Valuation: Priceless!
Jiang Han's eyes instantly turned red.
They've really become famous.
That was the look in a hungry wolf's eyes when it saw fresh meat.
Repairing gene defects?
That means it can cure his cancer!
Why did he risk his life to enter the restricted area? Just to survive!
Now, the life-saving medicine is right in front of us!
The viewers in the live stream were stunned.
Holy crap! That's a Tai Sui?!
Why does this *Tai Sui* look like jelly? The *Tai Sui* I've seen in the news all look like rotten meat!
[The luster, the texture... it's definitely a high-quality item!]
[Host, eat this! It'll grant you immortality!]
Just as Jiang Han's hand trembled as he prepared to touch the fleshy Ganoderma lucidum.
"stop!!!"
Professor Gu's heart-wrenching roar came through the connection again.
"Jiang Han! Don't touch it! It's highly poisonous!"
Professor Gu's face turned purple with anxiety, and he spoke at breakneck speed: "The *Tai Sui* is a slime mold complex! This thing that grows in piles of corpses absorbs countless heavy metals and ancient viruses! Especially these brightly colored ones, they definitely contain deadly neurotoxins! Just touching them will cause your whole body to fester and you'll die! You absolutely mustn't eat it! It's a biological weapon!"
The tone of the comments shifted dramatically in an instant.
Holy crap! Is this poisonous?!
Experts say you shouldn't eat this!
[Don't act impulsively, streamer! Your life is more important!]
This thing does look a bit weird; what normal mushroom grows blood vessels?
Jiang Han's hand froze in mid-air.
He glanced back at Professor Gu on the screen.
Professor Gu thought he had taken his words to heart, so he quickly softened his tone: "Child, listen to me, just collect a small sample, please don't..."
"Highly poisonous?"
Jiang Han suddenly laughed.
That smile carried three parts mockery and seven parts madness.
"Professor Gu, do you know what situation I'm in right now?"
He pointed to his chest. "I was going to die anyway. I had terminal cancer, and the doctors said I wouldn't live more than three months."
"For a dead person, this is not poison."
"This is... the only antidote."
Done.
Under Professor Gu's horrified and desperate gaze.
Amidst the screams of 30 million viewers across the internet.
Jiang Han swung the black gold ancient sword down suddenly!
"Whoosh!"
A large, translucent piece of Ganoderma lucidum was cut off.
He grabbed the still-trembling "jelly," opened his mouth wide, and took a big bite!
"Smack."
Juice splashed everywhere.
