Yuan power is unable to protect practitioners, and the physical body dare not try easily. In this situation, Yang Qi and the other three can only find a way to cross the blood river in front of them.
Emperor Jiuyan's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "The river flows to the right. Theoretically, we should go upstream to find a way to cross the blood river, but the blood river in front of us..." Hearing this, Yang Qi and the other two fell silent. Although Emperor Jiuyan did not finish his words, the meaning of his words was obvious.
Although the blood river in front of them looked like a river, according to their speculation, it should be the blood vessel of the fallen Martial Saint.
Although the blood vessels turned into rivers of blood after the death of the Martial Saint, blood vessels are different from real rivers. The direction of flow is not always downstream, because the flow of blood is a circular movement.
Emperor Yaoyue thought for a moment, then said, "We have limited information now, so let's try to search upstream first."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi and Emperor Tianyu beside him nodded in agreement. The information they had now was limited, and they were unable to determine whether there was a road across the blood river in front of them, downstream or upstream.
The only option is to go upstream first to look for it. If you can't find it upstream, you can only turn back and search downstream.
Seeing that neither Yang Qi nor Emperor Tianyu glanced at them, Emperor Jiuyan nodded, and then the group of four headed along the river towards the upstream direction.
While rushing upstream, Yang Qi and the other three were also carefully sensing the situation of the blood river, hoping to find some clues so as to determine which direction they were heading in was the right one.
It’s a pity that Yang Qi and his four companions walked along the river for a long distance but still did not find any useful clues.
Boom~Boom~Just when Yang Qi and the other three were at a loss, a fierce fighting sound suddenly came from the front, as if some practitioners were fighting.
Sensing the fluctuations coming from the front, Emperor Jiuyan's expression froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that another unconscious cultivator has appeared?"
The area near the blood river obviously doesn't look like a place where there are any opportunities. The possibility of practitioners fighting for opportunities here is not great. Apart from that, the possibility of losing consciousness in the fighting is undoubtedly greater.
"But there's nothing unusual around here."
Yang Qi frowned slightly.
Along the way, he did not let his guard down. From time to time, he would activate the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix to check his own condition, but he did not find any signs of being eroded.
Emperor Yaoyue raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "Let's go check it out first to see what's going on."
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ As Emperor Yaoyue finished speaking, Yang Qi and the other three flashed and immediately rushed towards the source of the residual power.
Just a moment later, Yang Qi and the other three arrived near the source of the battlefield. The moment they arrived near the battlefield, their eyes were attracted by the scene on the battlefield.
"That is..." Yang Qi and the other three looked at the dark red strange creature that was fighting with the practitioners, and a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on their faces. The practitioners on the battlefield did not lose consciousness, and naturally did not kill each other. At this moment, the practitioners were being besieged by several dark red strange creatures.
Those strange creatures were somewhat similar to the previous strange figures, and it was impossible to sense any life breath from them. This was why, on the way here, Yang Qi and the other four still did not realize that these practitioners were fighting with other creatures.
However, compared to the previous strange figures, these strange creatures can be hurt by the attacks of the peak-level martial emperor practitioners. Unlike the previous strange figures, only Yang Qi can hurt them with the attack of the origin of the ancestral dragon and ancestral phoenix bloodline! Compared with the strange figures, the strength of these strange creatures is obviously much stronger. Even the peak-level martial emperor practitioners dare not underestimate their attacks.
In the distant battlefield, facing a similar number of strange creatures, the practitioners are clearly at a disadvantage. You must know that those practitioners are all at the peak level of Martial Emperor. This alone is enough to show how powerful those strange creatures are.
"Where did these strange creatures come from?"
Emperor Tianyu frowned and continued, "We haven't encountered any similar existence along the way."
Yang Qi and his four companions traveled along the river for a while, but they did not encounter any similar strange creatures near the river.
To the extent that they had no idea where these strange creatures came from, just like those strange figures before, they still didn’t know where those strange figures came from.
Just as Yang Qi and the other three were thinking, the peak Martial Emperor practitioners who were fighting in the distance had already noticed their arrival.
The man in gorgeous clothes who was leading the group immediately looked at Yang Qi and the other three, and said hurriedly, "Four Taoist friends, please lend us a hand or two. We will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards."
The practitioners who were attacked by the strange creatures were obviously at a disadvantage. If they continued to fight, the practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor level would most likely be the ones who would be defeated in the end.
Now that Yang Qi and his four companions have arrived, it has undoubtedly given the group of peak Martial Emperor practitioners a chance to turn the tide of the battle. That's why the leading man in gorgeous clothes would ask for help from Yang Qi and his four companions without hesitation, hoping that they could help them through the crisis.
After hearing this, Yang Qi and the other three fell silent and did not immediately agree to take action. Although they were confident that they could deal with those strange creatures, before they knew the origins of the strange creatures, Yang Qi and the other three were still hesitant as to whether they should take action at this time.
Wow~ Just as Yang Qi and the other three were thinking, the water in the Blood River not far away suddenly surged up, forming huge waves dozens of feet in size, rushing towards the downstream.
Suddenly, in the surging waves, a strange figure rushed out from the waves. It was the same strange creature that besieged the man in gorgeous clothes and others.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of Yang Qi and the other three couldn't help but froze. They knew that the origin of these strange creatures was from the blood river.
Yang Qi looked at the blood river not far away and said with a sigh, "I never thought that such a being would be born in the blood river."
Yang Qi and the other three had some guesses about the origins of those strange creatures, but they had never imagined that these strange figures actually came from the Blood River, and came from the huge waves of the Blood River.
"This is not good news. There are these strange creatures in the blood river, which means that it will be more difficult for us to cross the blood river."
Emperor Yaoyue said with a serious expression.
