Dead
Looking at the lifeless blood beast, Yang Qi and Ding Jun were slightly stunned. The creature in front of them was able to unleash attacks with the power of the peak Martial Master, but it was killed so easily
Even though Ding Jun's sword has the power of a half-step Martial King, it is not so easy to kill a strong man at the peak of Martial Honor, let alone the blood beast in front of him!
Yang Qi looked at the blood beast on the ground, his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Senior Ding, look..."
The blood beast corpse that was originally on the ground, its dark red body suddenly flowed like liquid and merged into the ground, and then a strange skeleton appeared in the same place. The flesh and blood on the blood beast corpse had long disappeared!
"What a weird creature."
Ding Jun's face darkened. A monster with the strength of a peak Martial Master should not be corroded so easily even if the ground had a strong corrosive force.
Such an unusual scene is obviously closely related to the strange creature itself!
Not long after Yang Qi and his companions finished fighting, the other five strange creatures were also killed by the practitioners. Although the attacks of the strange creatures were not weak, their own means of survival were very weak. As long as they could break through the defense of the blood beasts' tentacles, they could easily kill these blood beasts!
"What on earth is this?"
Looking at the skeleton on the ground, several practitioners looked at each other in surprise. This blood beast was really weird!
"Look..."
At this moment, a scream was heard from not far away.
Following the direction from which the scream came, a shocking scene appeared. The dark red skeleton left by the monster that Yang Qi and Ding Jun killed first was softening and sticking to the ground like mud. Then, it merged into the ground and disappeared completely.
"this… "
If he had not killed the blood beast personally, just looking at the traces of the battle at the scene, there would be no sign of killing the blood beast at all.
“No wonder there was only the corpse of the cultivator before. It’s not that these strange creatures didn’t suffer any casualties, but their corpses disappeared long ago!” Yang Qi said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, everyone nodded with a wry smile. When they saw the corpses of practitioners before, they were worried that these strange creatures were too strong. But after fighting, they found that these strange creatures were not that scary, but just had strange methods.
Not only were the methods used strange, but the death was also extremely strange, with no trace of any existence at all!
"Since these blood beasts are not that scary, let's set off directly." Lin Zhong said with a smile.
The blood beast was not as scary as everyone had imagined, so everyone felt relieved and continued to move towards the depths of the Corpse God Cult's lair. Although they encountered several attacks from the blood beast along the way, they were easily killed by everyone.
The peak Martial Master cultivator who died before might have died because of a sudden attack. Although they found several traces of battles along the way, they did not see any remains of cultivators. It was obvious that only this one cultivator from the Corpse God Cult had died.
…
On a low and gentle hill, Yang Qi and his group of more than ten people were looking at the situation in front of them in a daze.
Lin Zhong looked at Yang Qi standing aside, chuckled and said, "Now you know why the lair of the Corpse God Cult is called the Sea of Blood, right?"
"Is this the sea of blood?"
Looking at the blood in front of him that was emitting a bloody smell, Yang Qi's eyes focused. Through the eight-winged golden cicada, he knew that the blood in front of him was so vast that it was not strange to call it a sea of blood.
“The mountain of corpses turned into a sea of blood!” Lin Zhong sighed and continued, “In the great battle at the Corpse God Cult’s lair, Corpse Ancestor was forced to self-destruct. The mountain of corpses where the Corpse God Cult was originally located was razed to the ground. The blood of the undead corpses collected by Corpse Ancestor merged with his own blood and turned into a huge sea of blood. The core area of the Corpse God Cult is the sea of blood before us!”
"This is how the mountain of corpses turned into a sea of blood." Lin Zhong said slowly.
The core area of the entire Corpse God Cult was hundreds of miles in radius and was completely submerged in blood, turning into a huge sea of blood. This was also the reason why the super powers joined forces to seal the Corpse God Cult's lair back then.
Upon hearing this, Cao Pan frowned and said, "Brother Lin, even if the corpse ancestor is a high-level martial king, it is impossible for his self-detonation to turn into such a huge sea of blood, right?"
A high-level martial king is indeed terrifying, but even if a human cultivator has practiced some special skills, it is impossible for him to have so much blood. How could a sea of blood be created because of one person's self-explosion
"Mountain of corpses, do you think it's a mountain?" Lin Zhong smiled coldly.
Mountain of corpses!
Could it be...
Thinking of the meaning revealed in Lin Zhong's words, everyone's heart trembled. Could it be that the mountain of corpses was really a mountain made of corpses
If this is the case, how evil and brutal was the Corpse God Cult back then that they actually used corpses to build a mountain
"The mountain of corpses is indeed made up of piles of corpses, but they are not real corpses, but the blood of undead corpses." After saying this, Lin Zhong paused and continued, "In addition, it is said that the mountain of corpses itself is also a treasure. It seems to be the corpse of some powerful creature. Back then, the Corpse Ancestor planned to use the mountain of corpses and the blood of undead corpses to enter the Martial Emperor realm."
Phew~
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If this was really a mountain made of corpses, the visual impact would be too great. How many corpses would it take to build a mountain
Although the blood of the undead is also refined from the corpses of living creatures, compared to real corpses, at least the visual impact is not as great.
"As for more, I don't know. The origin and purpose of the mountain of corpses were extremely secretive in the Corpse God Cult back then, and outsiders don't know much about it." Lin Zhong sighed lightly.
Everyone nodded slightly, not feeling surprised. The Corpse God Cult had a lot of secrets, and even after 100,000 years, many of the secrets had not been revealed, just like the non-corpse blood that could not be used.
"When the Corpse Ancestor blew himself up, the mountain of corpses turned into a sea of blood. However, a part of the mountain of corpses was preserved, and that is where we will focus our investigation this time. It is the core area of the Corpse God Cult and the deepest part of the sea of blood." Lin Zhong looked at everyone and said.
Yang Qi looked at the blood sea in front of him, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The blood sea is more corrosive than the ground. Now we can't use flying skills. Are we just going to walk across the sea like this?"
Practitioners can walk on the sea, but what they see before them is not ordinary sea water, but a sea of blood, the sea of blood left behind by the corpse ancestor’s self-explosion. The corrosive power of the sea water is even stronger than the previous ground.
"The mountain of corpses shattered, forming countless islands and small floating areas in the sea of blood. That's where we'll settle down," Lin Zhong explained.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then, under the leadership of Lin Zhong, they stepped on the blood and headed towards the depths of the sea of blood.
As Lin Zhong said, there are indeed floating lands and islands in the blood sea, and there are quite a few of them, so the consumption of everyone's energy is not too severe. (To be continued)
