The man-eating plant had been consuming zombie and half-beast corpses for some time without any ill effects. It was only a few days after consuming the golden energy bodies that this change occurred.
Therefore, Wang Luo speculated that
these golden energy bodies were highly likely to be the cause of this change.
As everyone watched in shock and uncertainty, the light emanating from the man-eating plant grew increasingly brilliant, filled with surging life force.
Green light bloomed from its leaves, and then mysterious objects resembling ancient pictographs emerged from the green light.
"These are fragments of law!"
Wang Luo exclaimed.
As the sole demigod in the base, he had the most say regarding fragments of law.
"Hee-lvw!"
King Horse and the others were stunned.
The man-eating plant had comprehended fragments of law?
Did that mean it had become a demigod?
Holy crap!
Was it that powerful?
All the surrounding mutated beasts showed expressions of surprise.
Once one became a demigod, it was equivalent to having a ticket to ascend to godhood, and they would eventually become demigods!
"Ooh ooh ooh!"
The Golden Phoenix let out a few cries towards the sky, startling King Horse, making its whole body tremble, and its hindquarters tighten, involuntarily clamping its legs together.
Fortunately, the Golden Phoenix did not use its bizarre special ability, and the scene was not filled with "shit" flying everywhere.
With the emergence of another demigod, the base was in an uproar. Many awakened individuals who were comprehending laws emerged from their seclusion to witness the splendor of the second demigod.
"I truly never expected it! The second demigod in the base would actually be the man-eating plant!"
Zhou Yiming was almost dumbfounded.
He had expected anyone but the man-eating plant.
Because other SSS-class individuals had consumed heavenly treasures that aided in comprehending laws, but the man-eating plant had not. It had been like a reclusive elder, quietly guarding the planting area, but unexpectedly, it was the second to comprehend laws.
Even Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu appeared,
and they sought the man-eating plant's advice on how to comprehend laws.
[After absorbing the golden energy bodies that Wang Luo gave me, various insights flooded my mind, and within a few days, I comprehended laws!]
The man-eating plant wrote on the ground with its branches.
This was the human language it had learned over the years.
"Golden energy bodies?" Yang Shu looked at Wang Luo curiously.
"It's what appeared after slaying the black mist!"
"But I don't know its specific function. That time, the man-eating plant said it wanted to taste it, and I thought there wouldn't be any danger, so I gave it to them!"
Upon hearing this,
Yang Shu and the others realized, "So it was that thing!"
She had seen that thing with her own eyes at the time. But as Wang Luo said, because it was an item dropped by the black mist, they did not dare to use it rashly, fearing some adverse reaction. Therefore, Wang Luo eventually collected it.
"In other words, those golden energy bodies greatly help awakened individuals comprehend laws?"
Everyone asked in surprise.
"It seems so!"
Wang Luo also nodded and asked, "Have any of you encountered such black mist when you went out?"
Since it was useful, he needed to prepare to deal with them.
"I have seen it, but the black mist seems to be very large. Compared to the black mists we encountered at the beginning, it is much bigger, and it might be difficult to deal with!"
Yang Chufeng said.
"Is it far from the base?"
"Not very far, it can be reached in a few hours!"
Wang Luo nodded. He was worried that if it was too far, he might not be able to return in time if something happened to the base.
"I wonder if demigods can withstand divine might?" Zhao Qingxuan asked curiously.
Wang Luo said, "We can try!"
He had not encountered many demigod-level powerhouses, and he had not yet figured out the rules for many things.
Afterward, he unleashed his dragon might towards the man-eating plant. Although dragon might was not divine might, they could contend with each other. The result showed that a demigod could only barely resist part of the dragon might. Although it would not cause them to faint, their thoughts and movements were still severely affected!
After testing,
Wang Luo felt that he still could not leave the base too far.
With Yang Chufeng indicating the direction, Wang Luo and Yang Shu rode the White Dragon directly to a nearby black mist area.
It was indeed not very far from the base. Under the guidance of the White Dragon with its spatial ability, they soon discovered that black mist area.
Hiss!
Wang Luo gasped as he looked at the huge black mist not far away.
"It has actually formed such a large area!"
The black mist was like rolling black clouds, covering an area of nearly a hundred meters, turning it into a dark forbidden zone.
"What should we do? Such a massive black mist, I wonder if any mutations will occur inside?" Yang Shu worried.
Compared to it, the ones they encountered before were insignificant!
"I'll go in and try first!"
Wang Luo transformed into a small dragon-person, surrounded by lightning and flames.
Yang Shu followed closely behind, her body radiating sacred light.
As they approached, the black mist naturally detected them and began to churn violently. Then, two thick tendrils of black mist, as thick as water tanks, separated from the main body and charged towards the two like wolves and tigers.
Wang Luo did not dare to be careless. The purple lightning and crimson flames on his body suddenly erupted.
Zzzt!
The black mist charged over, hitting the lightning and flames. Instantly, wisps of it began to dissipate, emitting a piercing sound.
"Lightning Slash!"
Wang Luo extended his hand, and a bolt of lightning slashed down at the retreating black mist.
"Holy Sword of Light!"
Yang Shu also used her light-based special ability, slashing at the black mist.
The light-based special ability dealt much more damage to the black mist than lightning or fire. With just one sword strike, one of the black mists was sliced into nothingness, leaving behind a golden energy body!
"Fire Fist!"
Wang Luo continued to attack, his right hand enveloped in flames. Then, his wind-based special ability erupted simultaneously. As the green light surged, the flames suddenly intensified.
With another punch,
a massive fiery fistprint attacked the black mist. This fire fist not only contained flames but also the law-infused wind element!
With one punch,
that huge black mist instantly vanished into smoke.
"Ordinary fire punches are not enough to eliminate this kind of thing; it needs to be mixed with the power of laws to be more effective!"
Wang Luo envied Yang Shu's light-based special ability, which was simply a nemesis to the black mist.
Perhaps,
it wouldn't be impossible for the system to grant him another SSS-class light-based special ability!
Wang Luo collected the two golden energy bodies.
At this moment, the black mist seemed to have been provoked and began to roll on the ground, moving towards their location.
Wang Luo and Yang Shu, with their courage and skill, directly ventured into the black mist.
Roar!
As soon as they entered the black mist, two half-beasts appeared and launched powerful attacks at Wang Luo.
"They are two demigod-level divine offspring!"
Wang Luo's eyes narrowed. Both mutated beasts emanated the aura of laws, and they were half-beasts, undoubtedly demigod-level divine offspring!
Why were mutated beasts appearing inside the black mist?
Could there be a cooperative relationship between the underground world's mutated beasts and the black mist?
"Look at their eyes!"
Yang Shu reminded him.
