Chapter 88 A web of flesh and blood, an immortal body?
"Boom!~"
Under Huang Hong's powerful blow, the fleshy ball composed of tentacles seemed to be forcibly torn apart, spreading out like a lotus flower of flesh and blood.
Huang Hong swept through the crowd, and by the time he reached the other end, he had already grasped the Blood God Ginseng in his hand.
The Blood God Ginseng is only the size of a fist. It doesn't look like a plant, but rather more like a blood-red crystal. It has a warm and smooth feel to the touch and is not hard. You can clearly feel the vigorous vitality surging within it.
Blood God Ginseng
Affixes: Spiritual Root, Replenishing Essence, Extracting Essence
Quality: Rare
Attribute: The essence of earth and flesh, containing an unimaginable source of life. Consuming it can greatly replenish vital energy, improve physical attributes, and heal injuries at the flesh level.
Loading ability: Flesh and blood network, which can form a network between flesh and blood, and gain the ability to regenerate flesh and blood.
After reading the properties of the Blood God Ginseng, Huang Hong was somewhat surprised; the value of this treasure seemed to be even greater than he had imagined.
However, there was no time to verify it now. After putting it into his spatial capsule, Huang Hong glanced once more at the werewolves who were already in dire straits, and then broke through in another direction.
It took Huang Hong more than half an hour to finally get rid of the entanglement of the Qi Root. He returned to his state of breath control and no longer lingered in the dense forest of flesh and blood. He made a quick judgment of the direction and walked towards the place where he had entered.
A day later, Huang Hong emerged from the Blood and Flesh Forest. Because he had taken a different route when he left, he had collected a small amount of blood ginseng along the way.
This exploration of the Flesh and Blood Forest took about three or four days, and the overall harvest was absolutely plentiful.
Huang Hong got into the off-road vehicle, ready to return to the Dragon Fortress.
On the way, he took out the Blood God Ginseng and selected the loading option. He immediately felt as if roots were growing from his flesh and blood cells. These roots continued to spread, intertwined and intersected, gradually filling the gaps between his flesh and blood.
Huang Hong could feel a vigorous life force surging within his flesh and blood.
Without hesitation, Huang Hong's finger flashed with a sharp light, and he directly cut a gash on his own arm.
Thick, fresh blood oozed out, but it was quickly absorbed by the skin. Root-like granulation tissue grew rapidly from the wound on the arm. In just two or three seconds, the wound closed and disappeared without leaving any trace.
After a moment's thought, Huang Hong steeled himself and cut off a small piece of flesh from his arm.
Instantly, the roots and granulation tissues in the area where flesh and blood had been lost grew wildly, spread, and interlocked, restoring the area to its original state in a very short time.
Meanwhile, the piece of flesh that had fallen to the ground did not lose its vitality. Instead, it moved towards Huang Hong by extending its granulation tissue. The speed was not fast, but it was not slow either.
When that piece of flesh climbed up his body and touched his skin, it melted into him like a drop of water flowing into the ocean.
Throughout the entire process, Huang Hong maintained a connection with that piece of flesh. He could clearly feel that after the flesh separated from his body, it became weaker and weaker, like water without roots. If left unattended, it might wither away completely in a few minutes.
It can be said that with the Blood God Ginseng, Huang Hong's recovery ability will reach a superhuman level, and any injury at the flesh level can be healed in a short time.
After a moment's thought, Huang Hong deactivated the Blood God Ginseng. The flesh and blood network within his body immediately withered as if its roots had been severed, and was gradually absorbed by his own flesh and blood.
This made Huang Hong realize that the Blood God Ginseng was not a treasure that could be used immediately. When he was loading it, it took him a full half hour for the flesh and blood network to spread throughout his body.
No problem, it's just a normal loading slot. Huang Hong can load three items now. He can take out one to load the Blood God Ginseng and use the remaining two in rotation.
Even if it's a space capsule, it's just for convenient storage. When it's not loaded, it's just a small capsule that you can carry with you.
The unexpected joy of the Blood God Ginseng brought a smile to Huang Hong's face. He had originally planned to exchange the Blood God Ginseng for enough benefits, but now he had no such intention at all.
After sensing it for a moment, Huang Hong discovered that to upgrade the Blood God Ginseng to Epic quality, it would require 90 Source Energy. Although it wasn't the maximum of 100 million, it wasn't far off, which also showed how precious the Blood God Ginseng was.
The journey back was uneventful. The only incident was when passing through Hellfire Peninsula, Huang Hong destroyed several demon camps to test his strength, and collected a large amount of extraordinary materials and tens of thousands of energy.
Upon returning to the Dragon Fortress, Huang Hong immediately went to the mission hall to submit some missions that had not yet expired. Then, he rushed to Wuyun Technology, where he was greeted by Xiaocao as always.
Huang Hong took out all the odds and ends he had collected along the way, scanned and analyzed them, and then sold them all to Wuyun Technology, earning 11 credits.
Huang Hong didn't sell the Blood Ginseng; otherwise, all of these could easily fetch one or two million credits.
It should be noted that the nearly thirty high-quality blood ginsengs that Huang Hong harvested from the bloody mire alone were each worth at least forty to fifty thousand credits. Although the other blood ginsengs had shrunk considerably, they were still quite valuable.
After saying goodbye to Xiaocao, Huang Hong strolled through the Dragon Fortress and soon arrived at an ancient building. The building looked like a giant, upright medicine bottle, with a rather eerie appearance.
At the entrance to the building, instead of the robot guards commonly seen in Dragon Fortress, there were two gargoyles.
Gargoyles are not conventional life forms; they can be categorized as mechanical, but are magical puppets.
As Huang Hong approached, the two gargoyles were immediately activated. The one on the left emitted a mechanical voice: "Unmarked personnel detected approaching... Outsider, please stop. The Apothecary Guild is a membership-based organization; non-members are not allowed to enter."
Huang Hong calmly took out a blood ginseng and waved it in front of the gargoyle, then said, "I heard that the Apothecary Guild is buying blood ginseng."
The gargoyle emitted a beam of light that swept across the blood ginseng: "Beep! Rare medicinal material within the Category B catalog detected. Execute Plan 17. Transfer to the Guild Procurement Department..."
A moment later, a gentle voice rang out: "Hello, sir, thank you for your visit. I am Wendy from the Purchasing Department of the Pharmacists' Guild. I will be in charge of assisting you now. Please wait a moment, I will be right there."
It was clear that the Apothecary Guild seemed to have very few outsiders. During Huang Hong's wait, only a dozen or so people came and went. These people were not only dressed in strange ways, but most of them also showed no interest in Huang Hong whatsoever, passing by him without even glancing at him.
Huang Hong didn't have to wait long before a beautiful woman with a gentle demeanor and long, wavy golden hair, dressed in a fitted robe, walked briskly toward him.
