The Blood Poison Fruit Tree's roots extended all the way to the bottom of this giant blood-colored cave.
Following the Blood Poison Fruit Tree's roots, Huang Xiaolong's group moved deeper into the cave.
"Blood Poison Fruit!"
At the center of the blood-colored cave stood a towering blood-colored tree. The Blood Poison Fruit Tree on the ground outside was merely an extension of this giant tree's roots.
Upon closer inspection, Huang Xiaolong noticed that this Blood Poison Fruit Tree's roots had several similar roots that extended out from different tunnels. In the Abyss region, one could find several Blood Poison Fruit Trees, and the one Chen Mo and Duan Ren saw was only one of them.
On this giant and ancient Blood Poison Fruit Tree, there were several large Blood Poison Fruits growing on its branches.
These Blood Poison Fruits gave off a rich and plump feeling, and at first glance, one could tell they were good stuff.
Duan Ren and the others had gone through a lot of trouble to reach this place, and when they saw these Blood Poison Fruits, they couldn't help but feel excited.
These Blood Poison Fruits were different from the ones outside. The information Huang Xiaolong received was right, the Blood Poison Fruits here were more effective than the ones outside.
Not only the Blood Poison Fruits, as the mother tree of the Blood Poison Fruit Tree, the ancient Blood Poison Fruit Tree inside the cave was also different.
The Blood Poison Fruit Tree outside was only a blood-colored tree, whereas the Blood Poison Fruit Mother Tree inside the cave, other than being ancient and huge, its color was deeper and darker. Despite being a blood-red tree, it gave off a dark golden aura of stability.
"The Blood Poison Fruits here seem to be divided into good and bad ones!"
Duan Ren and the others also noticed that the dozen or so Blood Poison Fruits growing on the Blood Poison Fruit Mother Tree were different from the rest.
Especially the best Blood Poison Fruit and the worst Blood Poison Fruit. The best Blood Poison Fruit was the size of a soccer ball, and its color was similar to the Blood Poison Fruit Mother Tree's dark golden color, whereas the worst Blood Poison Fruit was the size of a fist. Its color was dull, and its appearance was not full, giving off a malnourished feeling.
However, even if the Blood Poison Fruit here was the worst, it was still much better than the Blood Poison Fruit outside!
"What should we do? Who knows if there are monsters guarding the area?"
The Blood Poison Fruit was right in the middle of the cave a few dozen meters away. The group had gone through untold hardships to reach this place, and they were only one step away from the Blood Poison Fruit.
However, the experience they had gained along the way made them very clear that it would not be so easy to obtain the Blood Poison Fruit.
The normal Blood Poison Fruits outside were guarded by monsters like the Shadow Toad. This was the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit, so it was impossible for there to be no monster guarding it.
If they were careless, they might be ambushed by the guardian monsters and sent back to the city. Therefore, Duan Ren and the others didn't dare to act rashly.
"Sure enough, there's a greenish-black snake coiling around the Blood Poison Fruit Tree!"
Soon, Feng Piaopiao's face darkened as she spoke.
"How is that possible? I just checked. There are no monsters on the tree!"
Duan Ren looked in the direction Feng Piaopiao was pointing at in disbelief.
Not only Duan Ren, but Chen Mo was also the same.
Just like Duan Ren, he had already observed the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit Tree, and there shouldn't be any monsters on it. A giant snake guardian monster couldn't escape his eyes.
However, when Chen Mo and Duan Ren looked over, they really did see a bucket-sized greenish-black snake coiling around the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit Tree.
Snake-type monsters' defense had always been weak in the game, but when they looked at the giant snake in front of them, they didn't think so.
The greenish-black snake's body was covered in layers of greenish-black scales. Even in the dim cave, the greenish-black scales emitted a faint metallic glow.
But the thing that made their hearts sink the most was the way this greenish-black snake appeared!
Chen Mo and Duan Ren didn't see wrongly, there was no sign of a giant snake on the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit Tree.
This giant snake didn't appear on the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit Tree through ordinary means, but in a way no one had ever seen before!
"Space Serpent!"
Duan Ren, Feng Piaopiao, and the three people on the right looked at the greenish-black snake with solemn expressions.
This greenish-black snake came out from a space next to the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit Tree, and its tail was still inside the pitch-black space crack!
Space attribute was one of the most powerful attributes in the game. There weren't many players who knew space related skills, and the number of monsters with space attribute was even rarer.
Even if there were monsters with space attribute, it was only some skills with space attribute. Monsters like the Space Serpent that could travel through space at will were things that Duan Ren and the others had never seen or heard of before.
Even for Chen Mo, who had several space related skills, this was his first time seeing a monster like the Space Serpent.
After the Space Serpent appeared around the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit Tree, it stuck out its long black poisonous tongue and stared at Chen Mo's group of four with hostility.
"What do we do?" Duan Ren and the others looked at Chen Mo.
Even without testing, they knew that the Space Serpent was very powerful. Once a battle broke out, the chances of them being killed by the Space Serpent were very high.
However, the Blood Poison Fruit Tree was right in front of them. They had suffered untold hardships and narrowly escaped death to reach this place. They were extremely unwilling to give up and leave just like that.
However, facing a monster like the Space Serpent, Duan Ren and the others could only rely on Chen Mo to see if Chen Mo could find a way to deal with the Space Serpent.
"We can only test it first."
Chen Mo still had a living black bear in his hands, so he could use it to test the Space Serpent's attributes.
Without testing its attributes and characteristics, it was impossible to kill a monster of this level.
Chen Mo was already very strong among players, but he was still far from being able to face a system BOSS monster.
In the eyes of these BOSS monsters, he was no different from an ordinary player. As long as he was hit once, he would be killed in an instant like any other player.
"Test it then!"
Duan Ren and the others smiled bitterly after recovering from their daze.
The monsters here could not be judged with common sense. Previously, when the Shadow Toad was still far away from them, it was alerted by the black bear and directly attacked them. Now, they were not too far away from the Space Serpent. The Space Serpent's attribute was special, it could move through space. If the Space Serpent was alerted, it could attack them at any time.
If that happened, they would have no chance of escaping. Once Chen Mo started testing, it meant that they could die at any time.
However, Duan Ren and the others had no other choice.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chen Mo summoned the black bear.
If the Space Serpent attacked, Duan Ren and the others would most likely die. That was why Chen Mo reminded them. However, Chen Mo was not too worried about his own safety. No matter how powerful the Space Serpent was, he was confident that he could escape.
Creak!!!
After being summoned by Chen Mo, the black bear staggered toward the Mother Tree of the Blood Poison Fruit. When the black bear approached, the Space Serpent coiled around the Mother Tree was already glaring at it with hostility.
Swoosh!
When the black bear reached the bottom of the tree, the Space Serpent's bucket-like body suddenly moved. Chen Mo, Duan Ren, and the others only saw a blur before the black bear was killed!
"Such fast speed, it's even faster than the Shadow Toad!" Duan Ren exclaimed.
The Shadow Toad's speed was already shocking, but the Space Serpent's speed was even faster!
Could they still play?
Originally, they were already unable to dodge the Shadow Toad's attack. Facing the Space Serpent's attack, they had no way of retaliating. Most likely, the Space Serpent only needed to attack once to kill them!
Swoosh!
After killing the black bear, the Space Serpent drilled into the space next to the Blood Poison Fruit Tree. The next time it appeared, it was already thirty meters away from the Blood Poison Fruit Tree. It drilled out of the air and was now less than forty meters away from Chen Mo's group.
With the Space Serpent's speed, it could cover this distance with a twist of its body. It could even use its space ability to sneak behind them and attack them!
If the Space Serpent did that, they wouldn't be able to dodge!
"Don't split up, everyone should work together to resist it. Otherwise, none of us will be able to withstand a single attack!
If we fight it a few more times and find its weakness, we might still have a chance. "
Previously, when facing the Shadow Toad, they had split up and their companions died one after another. Now that the Space Serpent was stronger, they could only work together to deal with the Space Serpent. Only then would they have a slim chance of obtaining the Blood Poison Fruit Tree.
The Space Serpent's weakness?
Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat after listening to Duan Ren and the others' words.
He didn't know what the Space Serpent's weakness was. Even if the Space Serpent had a weakness, they would need to spend a lot of time to find it. With the Space Serpent's attributes and characteristics, how long Duan Ren and the others could last was a huge problem.
However, Chen Mo knew that the Space Serpent's natural enemy was eagle type monsters. This setting existed in the game. Chen Mo couldn't take out an eagle type monster, but he did have a Dark Phoenix.
The Dark Phoenix was definitely the king of birds. If an eagle type monster could deal with the Space Serpent, the Dark Phoenix should be able to do the same.
Chen Mo wasn't sure if it would work or not, but he immediately summoned the Dark Phoenix the moment this thought crossed his mind.
Even if the Dark Phoenix couldn't deal with the Space Serpent, it could still increase Chen Mo's attributes, making the battle between Chen Mo and the Space Serpent safer.
The Black Phoenix was called out by Chen Mo. In this pitch-black underground cave, it looked around curiously after coming out.
Then, it saw the huge Space Serpent. Then, its eyes lit up with great interest.
On the other hand, the Space Serpent became vigilant when it saw the Dark Phoenix, and its movements slowed down.
There's a chance!
Chen Mo's spirit rose. The Dark Phoenix couldn't transform into its second form, but judging from both sides' reactions, it was very likely that he could use the Dark Phoenix to restrain the Space Serpent, kill it, or go around it and take the Blood Poison Fruit!

Tomorrow, four o 'clock.
