Mortal Mirror

Suddenly, Li Ergou exclaimed, startling Ji Wuming, who immediately turned his head. He saw Li Ergou pointing at something in the pond ahead, his eyes filled with terror.

It was a mass of flesh the size of a millstone. The flesh grew upwards in layers, each layer larger than the one below. There were seven layers in all, reaching a height of about three feet.

From a distance, it looked like a blood-red meat tower. Most terrifyingly, the flesh on the tower was constantly wriggling.

The flesh looked incredibly fresh, as if it had just been cut. It was even dripping with viscous, blood-red liquid.

Every so often, it would writhe from top to bottom, similar to the action of swallowing, which was quite eerie.

At the center of the blood tower, a blood-colored meatball the size of a human head floated, supported by a tube no thicker than an arm.

The meatball pulsed like a human heart, contracting and expanding, each contraction absorbing a significant amount of the surrounding blood mist.

Then, a thick, red liquid seeped out of the meatball, dripping down layer by layer. It turned out that the red liquid on the meat tower came from this source.

Ji Wuming walked over at this moment. When he saw this thing, the pupils in his eyes contracted slightly, but a look of joy appeared on his face. He said, "Oh, brat, your luck is truly heaven-defying! This is the legendary Meat Ganoderma! Eating it will greatly enhance your cultivation. It's definitely a great blood and flesh tonic!"

"Meat Ganoderma? I've never heard of such a thing," Li Ergou said, raising an eyebrow.

Ji Wuming gave him a disdainful look and said, "There are many things you haven't heard of. Go and pluck this meatball, and refine it immediately. You'll know its wonderful effects."

"Refine it immediately? Isn't that too hasty?"

Ji Wuming retorted, "This thing is a spiritual object. Once plucked, its spirituality begins to dissipate. If you don't refine it immediately, its spirituality will completely disappear before long, turning into a dead thing, which would be worthless.

Go on, this thing is extremely rare. If my physical body weren't unavailable, it wouldn't be your turn to enjoy it alone."

Li Ergou glanced at Ji Wuming, feeling that although his words were like that, would this guy really be so generous?

Ji Wuming looked at the Meat Ganoderma, thinking in his heart, 'This thing is a rare blood and flesh tonic, not bad, not bad. I'll just keep it in this kid's body for now. After I've achieved great success and returned, I'll swallow it.'

He looked at Li Ergou again, thinking, 'Brat, with your little skills, you actually want to swallow this thing? Don't dream. I'm just letting you temporarily act as a host. You really think your luck is heaven-defying? You're thinking too much. Everything in this world is for the strong first. How can a tiny ant like you swallow the heavens?'

Li Ergou was half-doubtful about Ji Wuming's words. This thing was too strange, giving him a bad feeling. Furthermore, he worried that such a bloody thing might contain powerful demonic energy.

Li Ergou wanted to decline, but Ji Wuming said coldly, "Boy, you can't be useless when given a chance. Go and pluck it. Those who believe in me shall have eternal life."

As he spoke, he raised his head, revealing a profound and unpredictable look.

Li Ergou was annoyed. He hadn't thought much of it at first, but now he felt that Ji Wuming definitely had no good intentions. He had never seen anyone force others to become stronger.

However, at that moment, Ji Wuming seemed to sense Li Ergou's thoughts. A glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "What? You don't believe me?"

'I believe you, my ass!' Li Ergou was annoyed, but he was also helpless. He felt that if he refused, Ji Wuming probably wouldn't let it go. This was probably the sorrow of the weak.

Helpless, he could only fly up and come to the meat tower. He glanced at the meatball. Li Ergou didn't know why, but he had a sense of resistance to this thing. However, forced by the situation, he had no choice but to comply.

He reached out his hand, and with a thought, the Fish Scale Sword instantly flew out, slashing at the connection point of the meatball.

As the sword light flashed, the meatball trembled violently, and the meat tower let out a sharp cry. The cry was terrifying, making one's scalp tingle.

Li Ergou's face changed. He sucked at the meatball, directly sucking it into his hand, and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, countless eyes on the meat well looked at him, their eyes filled with endless anger.

Immediately, countless golden rays shot out from those eyes, like arrows, shooting towards Li Ergou.

Li Ergou was shocked and immediately knew that he had caused trouble.

He had just wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, two blood-colored tentacles suddenly stretched out from the meat tower, instantly缠绕wrapping around his ankles. Li Ergou only felt a great force coming from under his feet.

He was even more panicked at this moment, and shouted loudly at Ji Wuming, "Senior, save me!"

Ji Wuming also seemed to have not expected this. He immediately reached out his hand and grabbed at Li Ergou, and a huge palm print appeared out of thin air.

Just as the palm was about to grab Li Ergou, the strength under Li Ergou's feet increased, and he suddenly dragged him into the blood pool.

Li Ergou only felt terrible in his heart, because he found that once he entered the blood pool, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't have any strength in his body at all.

Opening his eyes, his eyes were filled with blood red. He only saw the surface of the blood pool getting further and further away from him, and he was constantly sinking down the blood pool.

Was he going to die? No, Li Ergou struggled violently.

Unexpectedly, the meatball in his hand suddenly melted, turning into countless blood threads, sticking to his body's skin, like a piece of clothing, tightly attached to his body.

Just as Li Ergou was puzzled, countless fine needle-like tentacles popped up from this thing, piercing into Li Ergou's skin.

Although Li Ergou's skin was extremely hard, even ordinary knives and swords could not cut his skin, but these tentacles were actually a few points sharper than the Fish Scale Sword. Li Ergou saw those tentacles, suddenly drilling open his skin, and drilling into his body.

Li Ergou's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the red flesh hard, but this thing was now tightly sucked on his body, extremely firm.

And he didn't have any strength in his body at the moment, and he couldn't pull it at all.

Seeing this scene, his heart was completely cold. He didn't want to be cautious and careful, but in the end, he was tricked. Just when he was frustrated, he saw a loud splash in the blood pool, and a shadow fell down.
