Octopus Tree! It was another dead end!
As soon as he finished speaking.
Qin Chuan quickly retreated.
He had never expected this.
The second level of the First Emperor's mausoleum was actually that kind of thing!
Unfortunately…
It was too late!
Boo, boo
The sound of earth breaking could be heard continuously.
Vines suddenly appeared around Qin Chuan.
Each vine was as thick as an adult's arm, and they surrounded Qin Chuan.
"Octopus tree!"
Qin Chuan's expression was solemn as he pulled out the Black Gold Ancient from his back.
This thing was extremely difficult to deal with.
Its attack power was not strong.
However, this was often the nest of the zombie beetles!
The Octopus Tree had a few other names.
One was the Demon Tree.
The other one was Shebai!
The nine-headed snake cypress was originally an octopus tree.
Qin Chuan had been curious before.
Why were there plants on the second floor?
It was because of the Octopus Tree!
The Octopus Tree could entangle creatures and kill them.
Then, it attracted insects through the rancid smell to spread the pollen.
These plants must have been brought here by those insects.
Naturally, the octopus tree was indispensable for it to grow.
What kind of thing liked corpses the most in a tomb?
It was definitely a zombie monster!
Corpse beetles grew up eating rotten meat. Wherever there were corpses, there would be corpse beetles!
The Octopus Tree used its rotten flesh to attract insects, so naturally, it could also attract corpse beetles!
As for the corpse and the dung--
They would become the nourishment of this land!
The two were symbiotic!
From there, they created this green field!
The sound that Qin Chuan heard earlier was not the sound of a bell.
It was the sound of the corpse beetles!
However…
The sound was not uniform, so it sounded like the sound of a bell.
As expected!
The next moment…
Rustling sounds kept ringing out.
Dense numbers of zombie beetles broke out of the ground!
It was like a swarm of insects surging towards Qin Chuan!
"Break it!"
Qin Chuan swung his black-gold blade.
The blade cut through the air and slashed at the octopus tree with a whistling sound.
Ding! Ding!
He did not expect that there would be a sound like steel colliding!
Of course.
Two vines snapped.
Qin Chuan frowned.
Something was wrong!
Something was wrong!
The sharpness of the black-gold ancient saber was beyond description.
However, it was impossible for the sound of metal colliding to be produced when the vines were slashed.
So-
There was something wrong with this vine!
However…
Reality did not allow him to think too much.
The corpse beetles were already approaching.
He had to kill his way out.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if they were surrounded by zombie beetles!
Holding the black-gold ancient saber, the vines were cut off one after another.
Qin Chuan also broke through the Octopus Tree's blockade.
He tapped his foot.
His body rose into the air and landed in another place.
He looked at the place where he had been standing before.
It had already been occupied by the corpse beetles.
The vines that Qin Chuan had cut off were instantly devoured.
"There's something wrong with this corpse beetle."
Looking at the corpse beetles, Qin Chuan's expression turned grave.
Corpse beetles were usually black in color.
Of course, there were also some dark red ones.
But…
The corpse beetles here were actually silver-white in color.
He thought of the sound of metal colliding when he cut the vines.
Very soon-
Qin Chuan knew what was going on!
Mercury!
There was a huge amount of mercury in the First Emperor's mausoleum!
This mercury seemed to be a means of guarding against theft.
Actually--
There was another meaning!
He had mentioned Widow Qing's cinnabar pills before.
It was known as the number one Chinese medicine.
It was a mixture of sulfur and mercury.
In the Qin Dynasty, it was a pill that could grant immortality.
The Ancestral Dragon had consumed it all year round.
So-
In the eyes of the people of Qin Dynasty.
The immortal item of mercury could live forever.
The huge amount of mercury in the First Emperor's mausoleum was meant to control the Spring of Immortality.
Although Qin Chuan didn't know which level the mercury was on, he was still able to find it.
But…
These zombie beetles and octopus trees must have mutated after absorbing mercury!
The octopus tree became even tougher.
The zombie beetles 'defense would definitely be enhanced as well.
Some people might say that mercury was poisonous and could not be absorbed.
This was indeed the case.
But…
There was a word called adaptation!
When a certain species was in a special environment.
They might not be able to adapt or even die in the beginning.
However, at the same time, the body structure of the species would change.
Adapt to the changes in the special environment.
It had been more than two thousand years since the first emperor's tomb.
These 2,000 years were enough for the zombie monster and octopus tree to adapt to the mercury environment!
In other words-
In a sense, these octopus trees and zombie beetles had evolved!
Evolved to the point where it could ignore the toxicity of mercury!!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A sound that sounded like a strong wind blowing the trees suddenly sounded.
All the octopus trees shook violently.
Then-
The fruits that seemed to quench their thirst actually exploded!
Inside the fruit-
It was rows and rows of spikes!
They looked like teeth!
Every fruit was the same.
His teeth were pure silver.
If a person with intense fear saw this, they would probably be scared half to death.
Whoosh!
Those fruits seemed to have transformed into snake heads that charged towards Qin Chuan.
The fruit exploded like a snake's mouth.
The pure silver thorns flickered with a cold light.
It was obvious that he was not to be trifled with.
However, Qin Chuan remained calm and unafraid.
His body was as light as a swallow as he shuttled between the vines.
At the same time, he raised his hand and slashed down, cutting the vines.
However-
Something strange happened.
The fruits on the severed vines.
After landing on the ground, it actually took root!
Then, they would eat the corpse beetles crazily.
As the number of corpse beetles increased.
It actually grew crazily.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a small tree!
This scene…
Even the knowledgeable Qin Chuan was a little dumbfounded!
He was certain.
As long as there were corpse beetles as nourishment.
In that case, it would only take one day to turn from a fruit into an octopus tree!
"Another dead end!"
Instantly!
Qin Chuan's expression turned extremely solemn!
