Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

In just half an hour, they had traveled through more than a thousand kilometers of dense woodland, but still did not find any noteworthy signs along the way.

Just as Li Ming was hesitating whether to stop and choose a new sailing direction.

Yunshan's voice suddenly broke the silence. She pointed to the left and shouted, "Look over there! There is an unusually bright green light. I wonder what it is."

Hearing the voice, Li Ming turned his head instantly and looked in the direction Yun Shan pointed.

At the end of the sight, a ball of green light is dazzling, like the brightest star in the night sky, flashing a mysterious and alluring light.

"Finally, I have discovered something." He let out a long sigh in his heart, and quickly changed the flight path of the spacecraft, flying towards the flashing green light.

After the spaceship passed through the dense jungle, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A small pond as clear as a mirror appeared. In the center of the pond, stood a huge plant. It was shaped like a lotus pod, but its size was magnified more than ten times, like a vibrant green island.

Inside the lotus pod, in a space nearly ten meters high, three wood element crystal cores the size of a human head were flashing emerald green fluorescence. Their edges were slightly exposed, like twinkling stars in the dark night, attracting all eyes.

"It's a L7 level pure wood element crystal core!" Yun Shan couldn't hide her inner surprise and blurted out.

Li Ming just took a quick glance at the dazzling crystal core, then shifted his gaze and began to conduct a detailed exploration of the surroundings.

The result of the investigation was that there was nothing abnormal. Neither the 'Time Pupil Shadow' nor the Demon Eyeball captured any signs of hidden creatures or danger.

"Li Ming?" Yun Shan looked puzzled. She didn't understand why the spaceship had to stop. "Shouldn't we go over and collect the crystal cores?"

"Don't worry, the elemental core won't grow legs and run away." Li Ming responded calmly, but a trace of contemplation flashed in the depths of his eyes, "I always feel that something seems to be wrong here."

Yunshan fell silent upon hearing this. She also looked around vigilantly, trying to find any possible danger.

However, the two waited quietly there for a long time, but the surroundings remained calm and nothing happened.

Finally, Li Ming took a deep breath and put the spaceship into the system backpack.

After landing, he turned to Yunshan and said, "Follow me, be careful."

"Yeah..." Yunshan nodded quickly and followed Li Ming's footsteps carefully, not daring to be careless at all.

As they gradually approached the pond, the three pure wood element crystal cores in the central lotus pod emitted an increasingly attractive light, which was very exciting.

But at this moment, Li Ming suddenly stopped.

There was an elusive and strange light in his eyes, as if he had noticed something.

"Huh? What happened again?" Yun Shan asked in confusion. Before she finished her words, a blue mushroom the size of a basketball suddenly fell from the top of a tall tree not far behind them.

Its short and fat body rolled on the ground and finally stopped in front of them.

Then, the mushroom's umbrella top slowly rose, revealing its round body, slender limbs and smart little eyes, which looked quite funny.

"What the hell is that thing!?" Yun Shan was startled by the sudden foreign object. She grabbed Li Ming's arm in a hurry, with a bit of panic in her voice.

"Don't panic, it has no ill intentions towards us." Li Ming replied calmly.

This strange creature, which looked like a mushroom man, made babbling sounds and kept waving at the two of them. Then it pointed to the huge lotus pod in the middle of the pond with a look of fear on its face.

Yunshan hid behind Li Ming, quietly poked her head out, and stared at the little creature in front of her who was eager to express his emotions.

She was slightly stunned, then whispered: "It seems like it is warning us, telling us not to get close to the pond?"

Li Ming remained silent.

This was the first intelligent creature they encountered in the fantasy ancient forest, but its strength was extremely weak, only at the L1 level.

Then, he slowly squatted down and gestured with his hands, trying to communicate with the little guy, "What's the danger in the pond? Can you demonstrate it to me?"

The mushroom man seemed unable to understand Li Ming's words, but its round body kept bouncing, and its two slender little hands kept making pushing and rejecting gestures towards the two people, as if eagerly signaling them to step back.

Seeing the anxious look of the mushroom man, Yunshan felt a surge of pity in her heart. She suggested softly, "How about we step back a little?"

Li Ming was a little hesitant. He did feel something was wrong, but no matter how carefully he searched, he could not find the exact source of the danger.

However, the L7-level wood element crystal core was within reach, less than fifty meters away from them.

Faced with such a huge temptation, are we going to just back off like that?

Just as he was hesitating, the mushroom man suddenly stopped bouncing.

It sighed deeply, and then its body suddenly burst into a soft light of pale blue.

Under the reflection of this blue light, the surrounding world seemed to be crumbling and falling piece by piece like shattered lenses.

The originally dreamlike, beautiful world of flowers and plants, after a visual trance, turned into a sea of ​​scarlet.

The trees and flowers that had been so bright and juicy before were now all withered and dilapidated.

Looking around, the ground was littered with the bones of various creatures, creating a dead and silent scene.

"Illusion!" Li Ming blurted out as he stared at the blood-red pool of water in front of him.

Then, his body trembled slightly involuntarily, and he felt an unprecedented sense of weakness sweeping over him.

Yunshan's condition was even more frightening. She was trembling and could hardly stand. Her face was as pale as paper, and there was not a trace of blood in her body. She looked extremely listless.

"Li..." She called softly, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible, and then she fell weakly on him.

Li Ming came to his senses instantly. He hurriedly stretched out his right hand to embrace the weak Yunshan, and at the same time grabbed the mushroom man who also looked listless with his left hand, trying his best to evacuate as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the scope of the withered blood zone is not large. It is centered on the pond and has a diameter of only about a hundred meters.

As soon as he exited the blood zone, Li Ming immediately laid Yunshan flat on the grass and checked her physical condition. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that she was only suffering from severe loss of qi and blood and was not in danger of life.

Then he turned around and his eyes fell on the mushroom man lying on the ground, and a feeling of surprise surged in his heart.

The strength of the mushroom man is obviously only at the L1 level. Under normal circumstances, once he steps into a dangerous place like the Blood Zone, the possibility of survival is almost zero.

However, to his surprise, the little mushroom man actually held on tenaciously.
