Chapter 259 The Mystery of the Sea of ​​Blood

 “It’s Yin Ji, run away quickly!”

Lu Xiaoxi's physical memory became even more confusing. She seemed to see someone escaping.

 “Are you running away from me?”

 “These people are so insignificant!”

 “How has the world changed?”

She was originally in a modern city, but for some reason, she turned into a magical world that was difficult for her to understand.

 She saw all kinds of people, and she also saw herself doing some incomprehensible behaviors.

 Another picture, she discovered to her horror that her body was being broken.

 But she discovered that she was not dead. Her perspective, along with her blood, flowed into the endless universe and turned into a gorgeous cosmic galaxy.

The blood turned into blood mist and blood clouds. The blood clouds slowly condensed and turned into a galaxy, where a small world appeared.

"It's us…"

 “I am blood, Yin Ji’s blood!”

Lu Xiaoxi felt like her head was going to explode. She kept shaking her head.

She is obviously a living person with an independent personality and consciousness. How could she be the blood of Yin Ji?

How could it be that the world evolved because of Yin Ji’s obsession with her own memory?

Lu Xiaoxi’s self-awareness has recovered somewhat.

 She looked at the flesh **** jubilating in the giant blood vessels, and at the human faces gradually disappearing on the flesh balls, Lu Xiaoxi fell into confusion again.

 “I really want to sleep!”

 The environment in the blood vessels made Lu Xiaoxi feel warm and comfortable.

She was obviously not sleepy, but under the influence of this environment, her consciousness became blurry again.

 …

Zhao Meng continued to pursue the wandering Yinji aura along the pipe.

Yin Ji has been surrounded by strange things since he came to this world.

As he came into more and more contact with Yin Ji's remnants, he found that these Yin Ji remnants paid special attention to the divine seed in him.

Although the Immortal is also curious about his divine species, he is not as demanding as Yinji Zanwu, who has no bottom line for the divine species.

Those remnants seem to have a kind of remnant about their union with the divine species.

"Zhao Meng, ahead..." At this moment, the voice of Xixi Lake sounded in his ears.

Zhao Meng, who was searching for Yin Ji's consciousness, suddenly stopped.

The pipeline in front suddenly extended under a huge ocean.

It is an endless black ocean, with waves lapping at the coast,

When Zhao Meng came to the shore and saw the red waves on the beach, he realized that this was not a black ocean, but a sea of ​​blood.

 But because of too much blood, it looks like black.

“The pipeline extends to the bottom of the sea. Do you want me to check it out first?” Zhao Meng heard the voice of inquiry from Xixi Lake.

Hearing the sound of Xixi Lake, Zhao Meng nodded. Just as he was about to continue arranging something, he moved his nose as if he smelled something:

 “It’s that smell!”

An unpleasant smell that Zhao Meng couldn't bear came from the depths of the sea of ​​blood. He had smelled this smell when he entered the outskirts of the galaxy.

 When he arrived on this planet where living creatures lived, the smell that made him want to stay away and not come into contact with it only existed in Lu Xiaoxi.

Although the smell was terrible, it became the reason why he had to contact Lu Xiaoxi.

 “In that direction!”

Zhao Meng let Xixi Lake continue to explore Yin Ji’s scent in the sea while tracing the source of the unpleasant smell.

Yin Ji's free breath has not yet been found in Xixi Lake, but Zhao Meng was the first to discover that the source of the unpleasant smell was an island on the sea of ​​blood.

 “Is this meat?”

 “That’s not right!”

When Zhao Meng came to the island, he found that the island was not the rocky island he thought it was, but an island made of something similar to minced meat.

That unpleasant smell was emanating from this island. Zhao Meng originally wanted to continue exploring, but the unpleasant smell made him instinctively resist getting closer.

His body seemed to be telling him that the place was unknown.

Seeing this, Zhao Meng did not continue to move forward, but observed from a distance.

 Fortunately, he has excellent eyesight due to his spiritual cultivation, and he can see the situation on the island clearly.

“This island seems to be devouring the surrounding sea of ​​blood, polluting and corrupting the sea of ​​blood.”

 “Wait, it’s rotten…”

Zhao Meng, who was observing from a distance, finally discovered what this unpleasant smell was that made him resist.

That seems to be a smell that comes from the practitioner's own corruption.

 He vaguely recalled something that Qingxuan had told him in the jade slips left for him to practice.

 The body of a practitioner with strong spiritual practice will generally not emit a foul smell after death like ordinary people.

  However, there are no absolutes in worldly affairs. Under certain circumstances, the body of a strong practitioner will also become corrupted.

 The most easily corrupted thing is the blood of practitioners, which emits a smell that makes ordinary practitioners not want to get close to it.

 “Yinji is dead!”

 “If this galaxy is related to Yin Ji’s blood!”

 “Maybe it’s some kind of corruption!”

Although Zhao Meng didn't want to identify the unique smell on that beautiful girl as the smell of corruption by a powerful practitioner.

 But the objective facts will not change because of his subjective thoughts.

 Zhao Meng did not continue to approach the corrupted area.

In nature, the smell of death, especially the smell of corpses of the same kind, tells him that there is a threat there and tells him to stay away as soon as possible.

 He didn't know whether the corrupted area was dangerous, but Zhao Meng knew that it was best not to get close.

“Xixi Lake, have you found any clues?” Zhao Meng asked Xixi Lake:

 Fortunately, his main purpose now is not to explore this corrupted area, but to find that strange yinji aura.

“Sorry, there seems to be some kind of barrier in this sea of ​​blood, and Yin Ji’s spine and I were very slow to explore it!”

 “Barrier?”

Hearing Xixihu’s answer, Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment, and then Xixihu continued,

“From the information we received from Yin Ji’s notochord, we originally had a barrier with Yin Ji’s blood system when we were in Yin Ji’s body.”

 “So that’s it!”

Facing such an answer, Zhao Meng suddenly thought of something.

 “Blood-brain barrier!”

 In his previous life, he went to get vaccinated because he was bitten by a dog. While waiting, he saw some popular science posters posted on the walls of the hospital.

There seems to be a barrier between the brain's nervous system and the human blood circulation system, which can protect the brain well.

“Could it be said that Yin Ji also has such a structure!”

Zhao Meng told Xixihu his guess. When Xixihu heard this statement, he immediately exclaimed:

 “That’s right!”

"you sure!"

"should be!"

Hearing Xixihu’s affirmative answer, Zhao Meng fell silent.

 Why does Yinji, as the top practitioner in this world, have the structure that ordinary people had in her previous life?

 “Maybe it’s some kind of convergence structure!”

Zhao Meng murmured and didn't think much about this matter. After all, it is easy to understand that the nervous system, as a key part of controlling a living body, must be placed in a safe and independent environment.

What really troubles Zhao Meng now is how to find Yin Ji's aura and Lu Xiaoxi who entered the sea.

 …

 Zhao Meng tried to explore into the sea,

However, this sea of ​​​​blood was so thick that he could not see anything in the sea of ​​​​blood. Although Xixi Lake, which was now independent, could break into the sea of ​​​​blood.

But for the safety of Xixi Lake, Zhao Meng did not dare to let Yin Ji's nervous system have deeper contact with her sea of ​​blood. Zhao Meng fell into a dilemma of exploration.

 “That’s right! There are also entries!”

Zhao Meng, who couldn't find a breakthrough point, came to the shadow space and looked at the shadow with the head of a human and the tail of a snake.

  The shadow is still in a solid state. Although it has been simulated once not long ago, it has been wandering in the gap between the fairy world and the mortal world for a long time.

 His simulations were done more than once.

“The planet outside is a living planet, maybe some useful entries can be found in the simulation.”

 Recalling the planet that suddenly turned into blood, and the statue that caused the planet to change,

 Zhao Meng suspected that the creatures on this planet were related to Yin Ji’s blood.

 If there is life, then the entries can play a role.

Thinking of this, Zhao Meng glanced at the huge shadow.

Judging from past simulations, this shadow, which never communicated with him, was most likely watching his behavior silently.

 Otherwise, many times, the entry he needs will not appear just right.

Thinking of the previous extraction of entries, Zhao Meng came to the phantom and bowed.

 Then I was touched by the colorful light group that had appeared.

With a trance of consciousness, Zhao Meng felt that he was in a warm environment.

 “Water flow!”

 “Is it an aquatic animal this time?”

“Maybe this shadow is really watching me and knows that I can’t go into the sea now!”

 “So what animal is being simulated this time?”

  【The first week you hatch from the egg, you become a parasitic catfish! 】

 “What is a parasitic catfish?”

Zhao Meng has seen the catfish before, but this is the first time he has heard of the parasitic catfish.

  “I hope I can get useful exploration entries this time.”

　　【In the second week, you are digesting the yolk left by your mother. What is your instinct driving you to look for? 】

 “The water here is so turbid!”

“Is there something wrong with my eyes, or is there something wrong with the water here?”

At this time, an extremely tiny fish, like a toothpick, was swimming slowly in the water. This was the animal that Zhao Meng was simulating this time, a parasitic catfish.

 Although he already has eyes, he can't see anything except that he can perceive some changes in light.

His way of finding his way is more through smell and some tiny tentacles.

 This situation made him very uncomfortable, but at the same time it made him feel happy.

 Because he knows that this kind of creature that lives in a turbid environment and does not rely on eyesight, but uses other organs to explore the environment, must have some unique exploration entries.

“Is the simulation of this animal a coincidence?”

“Or was it deliberately arranged by the shadow?”

 Zhao Meng didn’t know, and he didn’t continue to think wildly. Now that he had the key to breaking the situation, Zhao Meng began to take the simulation process very seriously.

　　【In the third week, your instinct drives you to land and parasitize the key parts of other fish. 】

 “Cheek holes!”

 “It turns out that this smell comes from the cheeks!”

 Ever since Zhao Meng finished digesting the last nutrients left by the egg cells in his body a week ago,

 Zhao Meng began to look for food.

Since parasitic catfish is called parasitism, Zhao Meng naturally relies on other large fish to survive.

It's just that Zhao Meng doesn't know how to parasitize himself. Because of his weak eyes, he can't obtain the method of parasitism by observing the same kind.

 Fortunately, biological instinct told him what to do, starting from the third week.

He then smelled that there was a vague smell in the water, which attracted him.

 The instinct of his body was telling him that the source of this smell was his purpose.

 Following the smell, Zhao Meng swam frantically and finally found the place where he should be parasitized, the fish's gills!

  【In the fourth week, your body begins to develop by absorbing nutrients from the host. 】

"so small!"

 “I am such a small fish!”

 “I don’t know how big it will be in the end!”

 Because there is no comparison, Zhao Meng did not know what kind of fish he was before he became parasitic.

 But as he entered the gills of the fish, sucking the blood from the gills and the nutrients flowing through the gills, Zhao Meng discovered that he was a very small fish.

 Not only is he small, but his body structure is also very strange. He looks like a toothpick.

But his current body size is not the size of a toothpick. At this time, he is an even smaller needle.

  【In the first month, under your ingestion, the host's health is affected and the host dies. 】

"died!"

 Feeling that his original host is being swallowed by other fish,

Zhao Meng sighed helplessly. This was not his intention to **** his host to death.

 But because other people of the same kind also came.

With the joint efforts of all the same species, their hosts were eventually malnourished and unable to effectively avoid predators, and became food.

 Feeling the eaten host and those of the same kind who never left the fish head until death,

Zhao Meng escaped. He is still a fish in essence. He does not want to live in the stomachs of other animals like roundworms.

 Those of the same kind who are unwilling to leave, once they enter the belly of the fish, will eventually be buried in the belly of the fish.

“It’s just right, there are many fish around, let’s choose a good host this time.”

  【In the second month, your body continues to grow, and the new host can no longer adapt to your size, and is getting thinner and thinner under your feeding】

 “It’s time to change the host!”

  Sensing that the new host was starting to have problems, Zhao Meng was ready to find a new home.

 At this time, Zhao Meng was not in a hurry to leave the host, but waited for the host to die and attract other fish to come, and then took the opportunity to change the target of parasitism.

Zhao Meng didn't wait too long for such a time. Soon the host died, and more fish came to prey on the original host.

Zhao Meng escaped from Yutou and was about to find a new home when an extremely strong smell that attracted him came from a place not far away.

 “Wow! What a great place!”

 Feeling this rich smell, Zhao Meng was unconsciously attracted.

He swam his not-so-strong body towards the delicious place.
