Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

As the illusion quickly dissipated, a world filled with blood appeared before their eyes.

The flowers, plants and trees have decayed, losing their vitality and greenness. The corpses of various creatures can be seen everywhere on the ground. It is quiet and desolate.

And in the center of this dead world, a huge tumor slowly moved, beating as if it had life.

Countless blood vessels spread out from its surface, tightly wrapping around a bright emerald green wood element crystal core like tentacles, forming a strange and terrifying picture.

Li Ming sensed his own supernatural power status and found that the cooling time of "Holy Guardian" had been restored. Without any hesitation, he immediately covered himself with an indestructible golden film.

Then, under the gaze of Yunshan and Ah Fu, he transformed into a stream of golden light and rushed into the world filled with blood.

This time, he also did not hesitate and directly launched the Thunder Field.

The energy in the body poured into the field like a flood, giving rise to thunder all over the sky, which bombarded the agitated tumor with a devastating force until it was reduced to ashes.

The moment the tumor was destroyed, a thick blood vessel connected to it, like a flexible mud snake, retracted into the ground at lightning speed and disappeared without a trace.

Li Ming bent down and picked up the wood element crystal core that fell on the ground. He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

The ground of the illusionary ancient forest was extremely hard, and even under the full force of his powerful thunder field, it could not cause any noticeable damage.

It is really incredible that the blood vessels connecting the sarcoma can move freely in this land.

"What are you thinking about?" Yunshan trotted over and saw Li Ming looking thoughtful, so she asked curiously.

Li Ming did not hide anything and told her what he had seen.

"This isn't too strange actually." Yun Shan said thoughtfully after hearing this. "It's impossible for that tumor alone to create such a high-level illusion. There must be a more powerful existence."

"Hmm..." Li Ming nodded in agreement. Then, he turned his gaze to the two mushroom people jumping happily around him. A smile appeared on his face. "Look how happy you are. Stop jumping. Let's go clean up the next withered blood area."

"Yeah, yeah..." The two mushroom men nodded vigorously after hearing this, and looked more anxious than him.

Next, they spent more than twenty hours to successfully clear nine withered blood zones and harvested a total of 23 contaminated L7-level wood element crystal cores.

These crystal cores are definitely enough for Yunshan to transform her physique. As for the rest, they can be absorbed and fused as special energy.

At this time, three more mushroom people joined the spaceship.

Like Ah Fu, they all voluntarily guard the Withered Blood Zone to prevent other creatures from accidentally stepping into dangerous traps.

In the process of communicating with the mushroom people, Li Ming gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the 'Fantasy Ancient Forest'.

According to the mushroom people's description, the world they lived in before was much wider than it is now.

It was once a peaceful, tranquil and free paradise.

Under the lush tree of life, all kinds of creatures are born and reproduce.

And when their lives come to an end, their bodies will turn into a ray of pure energy, nourishing this vibrant land once again.

But the rampant invasion of sarcoma completely overturned all of this, turning the once prosperous area into a dead and desolate place.

What is particularly serious is that the already rare Tree of Life, which once gave birth to countless lives, began to wither, its leaves turned yellow, its branches bent, and finally died.

Today, the Tree of Life is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and what's worse, they have completely lost the ability to give birth to intelligent life.

The mushroom people are the last group of intelligent creatures born from the Tree of Life. They are responsible for protecting their homes and the Tree of Life.

However, due to their weak strength, all they can do is stay at the edge of the Withered Blood Zone and warn other creatures to stay away. Apart from that, they are powerless.

After listening to the mushroom man's description, Yunshan sighed softly, with a hint of emotion in her voice, "No wonder they showed such joy and excitement when they saw that you have the ability to destroy the tumor."

Li Ming's face was very calm, and there was not much emotional fluctuation in his heart.

After a brief thought, he continued to ask the mushroom man for further information about the sarcoma.

The mushroom people have very limited knowledge about this.

All they knew was that the invasion of sarcomas began in the distant past, at an exact time that was no longer known.

Moreover, the withered blood zone they are currently clearing is only the outer area.

Deeper in the area, the tumors that have become dead zones are so powerful and terrifying that they are far beyond imagination.

There are even rumors that in the deepest darkness, the tumor has transformed into a horrifying monster.

"It seems that if we want to obtain high-grade wood element crystal cores, the only way is to clear the withered blood domain. Is this also an arrangement of the system?" Yun Shan asked with confusion.

"Maybe." Li Ming answered casually. He didn't care much about the system's intentions.

At present, the most important issue is how to completely purify the contaminated crystal core in hand.

So, he asked Ah Fu again: "You mentioned before that there is a place that can purify these polluted wood element crystal cores. Are you referring to the place where the Tree of Life is?"

However, Afu's answer was beyond his expectations. It shook its head, clearly stating that the Tree of Life did not have this purification ability.

Then, it proudly revealed that the one who could truly purify the polluted crystal core was actually a tree man.

Moreover, the whereabouts of this tree man are elusive, and only a few mushroom people can find his trace.

"Oh?" Yunshan showed a curious look on her face. She gestured with her hands and asked, "Why can only a few mushroom people find it?"

Ah Fu then showed off a seemingly ordinary branch necklace hanging on his chest.

It explained that this was a precious gift given to it by the tree man. With the help of this necklace, it could sense the specific location and distance of the tree man.

After listening to Ah Fu's narration, a strange look appeared on Li Ming's face. He glanced at Yun Shan inconspicuously, because one of her healing abilities was to transform into a tree man.

Unexpectedly, such a secret glance of mine was actually caught by the other party.

Yunshan puffed up her cheeks and snorted in mock anger: "Hey, Li Ming, what were you thinking about just now?"

Li Ming touched his nose, turned his head calmly, and said softly: "Nothing, I'm just curious, I don't know who this tree man is, and how he can purify the polluted crystal core."

Then, without waiting for Yunshan to reply, he confirmed with Ah Fu, "Are we sailing in the right direction now? How far are we from the tree man?"
