C39 300-Years-Old Blood Mushroom King!

With the appearance of the Giant King Ape, Xiang Shaoyun's crisis had been averted.

Xiang Shaoyun did not leave immediately. Instead, he watched the battle between the Giant King Ape and the Wild Lion Hunting Legion man from afar.

The devastating scene was enough to leave anyone flabbergasted.

It was a good thing that Xiang Shaoyun was an experienced and knowledgeable person, so he was not too surprised.

"Right now is the best time to search for Earth Star Spring!" Xiang Shaoyun smirked.

Thus, he headed towards the belly of the mountain.

Of course, he wasn't so bold as to intrude upon the battle. Instead, he took a shortcut that narrowly avoided the trouble.

Not long after, Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the other side of the mountain, where a waterfall could be seen cascading downwards.

To get around it, I have to pass through this waterfall. Xiang Shaoyun said as his face scrunched up in displeasure.

It wasn't a narrow waterfall by any means, and even an ordinary human could perceive the pressure one would experience due to the rushing water in this waterfall. Definitely not something bearable.

While Xiang Shaoyun was contemplating his options, a sudden cry filled him with hope and joy.

Meow!

This was Little White's cheer!

Before he could even react, Little White was in his arms.

"Xiaobai, are you okay? You aren't hurt anywhere, are you? Haha, very good!" Xiang Shaoyun caressed Little White and laughed happily.

When he couldn't find Little White just now, he thought something had happened to him. Finding him alive and well was out of his expectations. Now, he could finally put his worries to rest.

Compared to Little White, Earth Star Spring was not worth mentioning in Xiang Shaoyun's heart.

Little White jumped down from Xiang Shaoyun's embrace, then bit the bottom of Xiang Shaoyun's pants. It pointed forward with its claws as if telling Xiang Shaoyun to go over there.

Xiang Shaoyun revealed a look of doubt, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to follow him.

Xiang Shaoyun could see massive weed infestation in that direction, so he couldn't see ahead of it.

Xiang Shaoyun remained vigilant, holding his sword in his hand, just in case!

Not long after, Xiang Shaoyun passed through the dense growth of weed and was stunned to find a cave entrance. It was a cave entrance that could barely fit a grown adult.

This cave entrance was close to the edge of the waterfall. If it wasn't for Little White leading the way, he wouldn't have been able to find it.

This cave entrance was so inconspicuous that one wouldn't notice it even it was right in front of them.

"Is there some treasure hidden here?" Xiang Shaoyun flashed a puzzled look.

Xiang Shaoyun did not blindly rush in. Instead, he carefully observed the surrounding environment of the cave entrance. After confirming that it wasn't home to a demonic beast, he followed Little White and entered.

The cave entrance was moist, the weeds were numerous, and the cave wall had quite a few ridges. All this pointed to it being a natural cave.

The cave insides were dark. Dark to the point that Xiang Shaoyun had to activate his Insight skill just to see.

"I don't know why, but I was born with astonishing talent and the Insight skill. Perhaps one day I can cultivate Insight so that I could perceive all that's under the heavens!" Xiang Shaoyun thought in his heart.

Xiang Shaoyun did not think too deeply about the matter and continued to explore the cave.

After a while, he discovered that the weeds were getting denser and denser. Moreover, some weeds which clearly didn't have any medicinal purpose were still emitting medical aroma. It was a sign that a top-tier herb was growing nearby.

Not only that, as he was inside the cave, he could feel that the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth here was pure as if from heaven itself.

"Could this be the location of the Earth Star Spring?" Xiang Shaoyun could not help but mutter to himself in delight.

He knew that there was an Earth Star Spring in the middle of the mountain. Although the location indicated on the map was not here, it did not mean that this place couldn't have an Earth Star Spring.

Xiang Shaoyun quickened his pace, but before he had even taken a few steps, he saw Little White digging in a corner.

"Little White, can you let me have a look before you eat the herb? If I'm not wrong, that is a 200-year-old Blood Mushroom. It can replenish blood, produce energy, and also has a healing effect! " Xiang Shaoyun looked at what Little White had just swallowed and laughed bitterly.

Xiang Shaoyun of the past wouldn't have cared about this inferior-grade herb. But now, any herb was a great herb for him.

Hearing Xiang Shaoyun's words, Little White quickly ran to the front and dug out another herb.

"Another herb?" Xiang Shaoyun rejoiced as he looked at this Blood Mushroom that was about the same age.

Xiang Shaoyun picked up the Blood Mushroom and continued walking.

Soon, he realized that this cave was filled with Blood Mushrooms. Some were even the 300-years-old Blood Mushroom Kings.

"Blood Mushroom King!" This place definitely had an Earth Star Spring. Otherwise, this cave wouldn't be filled with herbs." Xiang Shaoyun was like a fanatic right now.

Without a care, he swallowed a Blood Mushroom.

As for the rest, he did not pick them up... for now. It wasn't like they would grow legs and run away, right?

Right now, the priority was to obtain the Earth Star Spring and increase strength.

The blood mushrooms were indeed worthy of being an inferior-grade herb capable of replenishing energy and blood. After Xiang Shaoyun swallowed it, he immediately felt the blood in his body boiling as strands of energy rose and replenished his reserves.

Xiang Shaoyun wanted to speed up the process of finding the spring, but he stopped when he saw roaring in front of him.

Xiang Shaoyun looked closer and discovered a long skeleton inside the cave.

"T-this is snake bone? No, how could a snake have toes? Could this be a serpent that has evolved into a Flood Dragon?" Xiang Shaoyun podered.

Now, Xiang Shaoyun finally understood why blood mushrooms grew here.

It was because this Flood Dragon died here, and its dried-up blood energy nourished the soil on which the Blood Mushrooms grew!

Xiang Shaoyun walked over and discovered that this Flood Dragon was at least ten meters long. It was, without a doubt, a Greater Demonic Beast.

Fortunately, it was dead, or else he would be the one nourishing the Blood Mushrooms.

When Xiang Shaoyun reached the end of the skeleton, he discovered a thumb-sized bead on top of the skeleton's head.

"Demonic core!" Xiang Shaoyun cried out on excitation.

Just as he was about to go and get it, Little White had already leaped up and bitten the demonic core.

"Damn! Aren't you afraid of being crushed by that energy!" Xiang Shaoyun could not help but curse.

The demonic core was actually the condensed essence of a demonic beast above the Greater Demonic stage.

If an ordinary demonic beast devoured this core, they would explode in a gory mess.

A core like this could only be swallowed by beasts above the Greater Demonic stage. This could give their combat strength a massive boost.

Little White was only so big; if he swallowed the demonic core, the odds would be against him.

Xiang Shaoyun stepped forward and was about to force the core out of Little White.

Roar!

Suddenly, Little White gave an almost feral roar, and his body began growing.
