Chapter 302 – Eyes in the Darkness
“Rock Fire Fiend?”
Su Jingxing was surprised.
According to the records left behind by the Wei Family’s ancestors, the most terrifying strange lifeform inside the Black Flame Caves, the Rock Fire Fiend, had finally appeared.
Rock Fire Fiends were a mysterious species that possessed both rock and fire abilities.
Of course, they could also be called monsters.
This was because they relied on their bodies of rocks to make their defense invincible. On the other hand, they were almost immortal as living entities. Even if they were reduced to rubble, they could be reassembled under the drive of the flames.
When Su Jingxing first read about them, he thought it was an exaggeration.
Now that he had seen one with his own eyes, he finally understood how powerful the Rock Fire Fiend was.
This thing could not be deduced using common sense.
The human-shaped rock body had two hands and two feet. There was no mouth or nose on its head, but there was an outline of eyes. However, there were no eyeballs, and it was unknown how it could “see”.
Could it be through perception?
As Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger was in thought, the Rock Fire Fiend that had finished reconstructing charged at it again.
At the same time, the black and red flames on the body of the Rock Fire Fiend that was stepping on the Eight-Headed Giant Python flickered, producing a strange suction force that covered the Eight-Headed Giant Python.
Roar!
The Eight-Headed Giant Python hissed in fear.
Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger decisively shrunk into a ball and avoided the Rock Fire Fiend’s attack. It looked at the Eight-Headed Python.
The giant python that was incomparably ferocious a moment ago was now trembling all over. Streaks of translucent energy that was visible to the naked eye seeped out from its body and was absorbed by the Rock Fire Fiend.
Vitality?
The Rock Fire Fiend can absorb the vitality of other species?
Su Jingxing was shocked.
The Blood Doppelganger was not slow. It extracted the card from the Eight-Headed Giant Python that had died quickly and entered the cave.
Thump! Thump!
Behind it, a Rock Fire Fiend was hot on its heels.
This strange thing actually locked onto its prey through perception.
Whether the Blood Doppelganger shrunk itself or not made no difference in its perception.
Unless its perception was blocked out, the size of one’s body would change nothing.
Su Jingxing was at a loss.
I’ve been targeted by the Rock Fire Fiend and it’s not letting up. What should I do now?
Controlling his Blood Doppelganger to turn back into human form and take off, Su Jingxing began thinking of countermeasures.
Although shrinking into a ball and dashing away was fast, it consumed a lot of mental energy.
Running in human form consumed the Blood Doppelganger’s strength. To the Blood Doppelganger’s endless amount of strength, this expenditure was almost negligible.
In any case, in the Rock Fire Fiend’s perception, size didn’t matter, so Su Jingxing naturally returned it to human form.
Rock Fire Fiends did not know fatigue, and there was no such thing as exhaustion.
The Blood Doppelganger was similar. It could move for a long time.
For this, the human and the monster began a long pursuit, passing through cave after cave.
In order to shake off the Rock Fire Fiend, Su Jingxing couldn’t even be bothered with the Soul Return Stone. He quickly deviated from the direction he had decided on.
Until it entered a dark cave without any black flames, the running Blood Doppelganger suddenly did not hear any movements behind it.
The Rock Fire Fiend’s rock body made a lot of noise when it ran. Now that the sound had suddenly vanished, the Blood Doppelganger sensed it and subconsciously turned to look behind.
Through its unique field of vision, Su Jingxing saw that the Rock Fire Fiend that had been chasing him a second ago was currently tied up by a few black and red vines and pulled towards the dark area on the left.
The Rock Fire Fiend struggled, tore, and released its terrifying absorption ability, but none of them worked.
The huge rock body was forcefully tied up by the black and red vines and dragged towards the dark area on the left.
Rustle! Rustle!
A burst of red light suddenly bloomed from the dark area.
Swish!
The sound of lotus leaves opening up could be heard.

Under the red light, the Blood Doppelganger saw a massive flower that was two stories tall appear.
The entire flower stood in the center of the left area. It was completely black, and the huge petals, as they swayed, emitted clusters of black and red flames.
Just like the Rock Fire Fiend, this flower could actually emit flames!
Moreover, Su Jingxing didn’t know if it was an illusion, but this giant black flower gave him a feeling that it was alive.
Not alive like plants, but like humans and animals!
Whoosh!
Red light bloomed and the giant flower swayed.
The bound Rock Fire Fiend was dragged to the foot of the giant flower by the vines.
Then, a wide petal descended, wrapped around it and drowned it.
Buzz!
The air vibrated.
A red light flashed. In less than three seconds, the giant flower opened its petals and a pile of sand-like powder poured out.
The Rock Fire Fiend’s solid and heavy body was nowhere to be seen.
It was actually instantly devoured by the giant flower and turned into dust with zero sentience.
Its almost immortal rock body lost its effect against the terrifying devouring power of the giant black flower.
“Seriously, everything is closely linked.”
Su Jingxing watched the entire process and sighed with emotion.
The Eight-Headed Giant Python’s vitality was absorbed by the Rock Fire Fiend, and the Rock Fire Fiend was devoured and turned into sand by the giant black flower.
The dangers in the Black Flame Caves were unimaginable.
Su Jingxing shook his head and retracted his gaze. He controlled the Blood Doppelganger to shrink and quietly leave the cave.
A second before it left, from the corner of its eye, the Blood Doppelganger saw a drop of blue liquid with a red glow slide down the petals of the giant black flower and fall to the ground, rolling like a pearl.
!
!!!
The Blood Doppelganger suddenly stopped at the entrance of the cave, its gaze fixed on the bead of blue liquid with a red glow that was rolling on the ground.
That’s right, it was the blue liquid with a red glow. Found it!
A treasure that could advance a first-grade martial artist to the Transcendent-grade had suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Even though there was only one drop, the appearance of this one drop told Su Jingxing where it came from.
The giant black flower!
The giant black flower that could devour the Rock Fire Fiend was actually the producer of the blue liquid with a red glow.
The factory!
Su Jingxing suppressed his excitement. The Blood Doppelganger stood rooted to the ground, as his mind raced.
The blue liquid with a red glow was produced after the giant black flower swallowed a Rock Fire Fiend.
Does this mean that every drop of blue liquid with a red glow requires the black flower to devour a Rock Fire Fiend?
Or could devouring other species also produce the blue liquid with a red glow?
Su Jingxing thought for a while. With a thought, he released a ball of blood energy and quietly approached the giant black flower.
Although Su Jingxing already had an Essence Soul, he didn’t mind obtaining a treasure like the blue liquid with a red glow now that he had encountered it.
What if he needed it in the future?
No one could say for sure.
After all, the effect of the blue liquid with a red glow was too special and unbelievable.
From the looks of it, the giant black flower treated the blue liquid with a red glow like excretion after it fell to the ground. It stopped paying attention to it.
It shouldn’t be a problem for Su Jingxing to take it away… right?
In his vigilance, he released his blood energy and slowly approached the giant black flower.
50 meters, 30 meters, 10 meters, five meters…
Closer, even closer.
Just a second before the blood energy came into contact with the blue liquid with a red glow, eyes suddenly appeared on the petals of the motionless black flower facing the Blood Doppelganger…
