My Healing Games

Chapter 901 Fishing Soul
Countless deformed flesh and blood swam in the reddish-brown liquid. Mucous membranes grew on the walls of the underground building, rising and falling as if they were breathing. Han Fei felt as if he had returned to his mother's womb, and life had a new definition here.

"It turns out that people become so ugly after they achieve immortality."

Han Fei memorized all the scenes he saw. If he could escape the shrine of happiness, he would definitely go to the headquarters of Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals.

“With immortality of will, flesh and blood become clothes that can be changed at will. The gardener’s coats we wear are relatively low-level shells, responsible for communicating with the outside world and taking care of the soul flower; the big fish we just saw is a manager. Its body can be maintained for hundreds of years, not only extremely long-lived, but also possessing strength and adaptability far exceeding ours.” Ah Nian had information about immortality pharmaceuticals in his head, and he patiently explained the secrets of the flesh and blood world to Han Fei: “Humans have replaced God and evolved a new aesthetic. You may think this place is ugly and dirty, but in their eyes, it is sacred and solemn, the most perfect place in the world.”

The reddish-brown liquid thickened, and the fleshy cloaks worn by Han Fei and Anian opened their mouths. They had no teeth, and between their lips were thin, mucous membranes that seemed to be able to obtain nutrients from the blood.

Han Fei was initially curious about where the nutrients in the blood came from, but his question was soon answered.

In the central area of ​​the flower sea, all the drooping roots gathered in one place, where a deep, blood-red hole had been carved out.

Even from a great distance, it is clear that the liquid inside and outside the cave is completely different in color.

The reddish-brown liquid outside the cave resembled a mixture of blood and underground river fluid, while the liquid inside was actually blood.

Should we go to the vicinity of the cave entrance?

"The flowers most valued by the gods are all there. If you want to help hatred regain its humanity, you must go there." Ah Nian was indeed helping Han Fei, but he also had other thoughts. After the great disaster, he couldn't protect his two children. Perhaps as a father, he still had a sliver of hope that he could find his children's souls in the center of the flower sea.

Among the dense, drooping roots, some heads swayed about. They had no torso or legs, and six arms of varying lengths grew around their heads.

“Don’t be afraid. They are flesh and blood tools that are lower in rank than gardeners. Their huge heads make it easy for their will to descend and execute complex commands. Their arms allow them to carry out the instructions issued by their brains. Because their lifespan is extremely short and they can be discarded at any time, they do not need a torso to maintain their life.” A-Nian swam past the head monsters. As long as he did not damage the flower stems, the monsters would ignore him.

"Extremely short lifespan? What will these flesh and blood bodies become after they die?" Han Fei was simply curious.

"The will that controls them will return to the sea of ​​flowers through the flower stems and bloom again, while the flesh and blood bodies will fall into that blood hole." After swimming a little further, Anian pointed downwards. A large number of flesh and blood bodies on the verge of death would jump into the blood hole here, their flesh and blood would be crushed and merge into the blood of the deep hole.

As some flesh and blood die, new flesh and blood monsters will crawl out from the depths of the blood hole.

Each time those newly born flesh and blood monsters climb upwards, their bodies are transformed by the blood in the blood hole, and the vast majority cannot withstand it and die halfway through.

However, some monsters overcame all difficulties and successfully crawled out of the blood hole, becoming new flesh and blood shells.

The collective consciousness of humanity in the flower sea will guide and influence everything; the less of a certain type of flesh and blood body there is, the greater the probability that the blood cave will breed that type of flesh and blood monster.

Monsters of different lifespans consume different amounts of flesh and blood, which is why that big fish looked down on Han Fei and A Nian.

"Remember, whatever you do, don't get sucked in. Just stay here." A-Nian and Han Fei made their way through the countless drooping flower stems to the edge of the blood cave.

Once you get close, you'll find that it's much larger than you imagined; it's more like a blood lake than a blood cave.

"Shouldn't the flower of humanity be in a sea of ​​flowers? What are we doing here?" Han Fei calculated that they had about an hour and a half left.

“Brutally snatching the flower of the gods will invite an attack from all hatred. Didn’t you experience that firsthand last time? Besides, the flower of humanity born of hatred is very fragile; it can easily be destroyed in a battle.” A-Nian smiled bitterly, “You look so refined, how come you have such a wild personality?”

"No stealing or robbing? Are we expected to wait for them to come to us?"

"More or less." A-Nian stood beside the blood cave, gazing at the bottomless blood. "Occasionally, some special flesh and blood bodies are born in this cave. These bodies have extremely long lifespans and a certain level of intelligence. They do not want to be controlled by human will, so they hide in the blood cave. As long as we can fish them out, their most precious souls and wills will actively want to descend into the bodies."

"We're here to find the humanity of hatred. Are you sure we can succeed this way?" Han Fei didn't think they could catch a rare flesh and blood carcass in just over an hour.

“I know all the flowers in the flower sea very well. The Flower of Hatred is used by the gods to control hatred. They are usually hidden in the deepest part of the flower sea. You can’t find them by yourself. So the only way is to find a way to lure them out.” A-Nian patted his chest: “Trust me, you are my savior. Would I lie to you?”

Ah Nian seemed quite experienced. He confidently chose a spot to sit down, then made a small incision in the gardener's flesh and took out a red string that he had prepared in advance.

“I was also involved in the immortality project and know a lot of details. My mentor once took me to a similar place, but I never thought that they could actually do it.”

The red rope, made of an unknown material, was stained with Ah Nian's blood and was very attractive to the fleshy monsters inside the blood cave.

“Since we’re going to fish for the rarest flesh and blood golems, we can’t use ordinary bait.” Ah Nian’s voice slowly changed as he tied the red rope around Han Fei’s body.

"What are you trying to do?" Han Fei asked, puzzled, as he grabbed the red rope.

"Do you know how to fish?" Ah Nian's voice grew softer and softer, as if he were about to fall asleep.

"I received training in the middle-aged and elderly killer club, and I've dabbled in flower arranging and calligraphy, but I've never really tried fishing." Han Fei was also very honest and didn't lie to Anian.

“Then you can give it a try today. I’ve prepared the fishing line for you, but the bait is very rare, so you must be careful.” After saying that, Anian tore open the thin membrane on the back of his flesh puppet’s neck and crawled out from the fleshy outer layer.

Han Fei then noticed that one end of the red rope had entered A Nian's heart.

"Are you referring to yourself as the bait?"

"Is there any bait more precious than a living person who has awakened seven personalities?" A-Nian stopped speaking. His heartbeat began to slow down, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused as the power of his memory personality enveloped him.

Without Han Fei needing to do anything, A-Nian, having shed his flesh and blood, jumped directly into the blood cave.

Just a few minutes ago, A-Nian had warned Han Fei not to enter the Blood Cave, and then he jumped in himself.

"You said I have a wild personality? You're crazy enough."

Han Fei gripped the red rope with both hands, sat obediently on the fleshy ground, and stared intently at the surface of the Blood Cave Lake.

He had little fishing experience, but this situation was like him being taken underwater with a diver strapped to his arm. Even normal anglers probably rarely fish like this.

Time passed slowly, and Han Fei remained motionless. Tiny blood vessels grew on the surface of his flesh and blood, connecting with the flesh and blood on the ground. From a distance, he seemed to have merged with the ground, becoming an inconspicuous "mound".

"Perhaps it would be more suitable for me to go down and be the bait? Is Ah Nian worried about me? Afraid that I'll draw out his hatred? That's true, my negative charm is no joke."

At first it was fine, but gradually Han Fei also started to feel a bit bored.

Above the blood cave, dead monsters kept falling, their corpses dissolving in the blood. New monsters would also crawl out from under the water, creating a scene of "thriving prosperity," but Han Fei's place was deathly still.

"Judging from the atmosphere, it looks like a big shipment is about to be delivered."

Han Fei waited for another ten minutes or so. He had stopped thinking about what kind of "fish" he could catch and started to worry about Anian's safety.

"Should we tug on the line? I've heard that when fishing, raising and lowering the rod can create the illusion that the bait is very lively, which can attract big fish to take the bait."

Han Fei had read many books, but at this moment he once again felt that his knowledge was insufficient.

Hesitant, Han Fei tried pulling the rope, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

The blood became thick, and all the newly born flesh and blood monsters fled into the distance!

"They've taken the bait?"

A few seconds later, a tremendous force emanated from beneath the blood, nearly pulling Han Fei directly into it.

He secretly used the power of the Abyss of Greed, unleashing the power of his eight awakened personalities, and barely managed to contend with his opponent.

"Caught it!"

To ensure Anian's safety, Han Fei refused to let go, even at the cost of his life. He was dragged along the edge of the blood cave for more than ten meters by the "big fish" beneath the blood.

The two sides struggled for a full half hour before Han Fei finally managed to drag the terrifying "big fish" ashore little by little!

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully caught an extremely rare, unidentified 'fish'—Big Meat!"

"Big Meat: An unknown creature that no one has ever caught before. It cannot be classified into any level. No one knows when it appeared or has ever seen it. It has an extremely long lifespan and other attributes are unknown. Maybe you can give it a try."

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully unlocked the intermediate fishing talent, granting an additional 1 point to Luck and 1 point to Stamina while fishing!"

Catching a fish unlocked Han Fei's intermediate fishing talent, but he had no time to look at his attribute panel.

Looking at the mountain of flesh, the fleshy body that Han Fei had fished up was enormous. Its entire body was covered with strange patterns, which were not drawn on later but grew naturally, containing the secrets of flesh and blood life.

"Help me!" An arm emerged from the fish's mouth, and Ah Nian's face appeared in the "fish's" throat: "I'm wearing this body now. When we enter the depths of the flower sea's roots, I will come out of the body. There will definitely be many consciousnesses and souls fighting over it. Be careful to distinguish them!"
