"I just got in, and it's already so exciting …." Wang Baole sped along through the rift, his eyes narrowed as he looked around vigilantly. Actually, from the moment he had entered the Blood Cave, something strange had happened. Furthermore, the corpses had appeared too suddenly.
"Most of the corpses are ancient corpses …. I didn't notice any Federation Cultivators among them. It seems … that Lin Tianhao is most likely still alive." Having made this judgment, Wang Baole suddenly lifted his right hand and chopped down with his saber. A hand and a head had just reached out from the wall to the right, and Wang Baole chopped them off.
"Furthermore, after entering this place, the underworld flame inside of me has become very active. That's especially true now. The further I go, the more it's like that …." Wang Baole frowned thoughtfully. After entering the rift, Wang Baole had taken advantage of the fact that no one else was around to release the underworld flame to see if it had any effect on the corpses.
However, for some unknown reason, even though the Dark Fire was able to cause harm to the corpses, the burning corpses actually went berserk. Their originally murky eyes were now filled with desire, and they pounced towards Wang Baole without regard for anything else.
Wang Baole immediately put away the underworld flame. His heart trembled as he realized that the corpses had something to do with the underworld flame. Furthermore, he thought of what Little Missy had said. As an early Underworld Magician, he could not casually reveal the underworld flame.
"Little Missy has a point. As soon as I revealed the underworld flame, the corpses went mad …."
Wang Baole made up his mind that he would not use the underworld flame unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, he continued onward at top speed, following the rift until he saw the exit.
The exit was located in the tunnel. Actually, there was only one tunnel in the Blood Cave. As for the other rifts, some of them were connected to other rifts. The exit and the entrance were all located within the same tunnel, although they were located in different locations.
Some of the rifts grew narrower the further one went. At the end of the rift, there was only dirt. It was like a dead end, and one would have to dig their way out.
Wang Baole's luck wasn't bad. The fissure he had chosen didn't require him to excavate. As soon as he saw the exit, Wang Baole's eyes glittered, and the mosquito inside of him flew out toward the exit.
With the help of the mosquito's vision, Wang Baole was able to see the outside world. It was quiet in the passageway where the fissure was located. There were no corpses, but there were plenty of blood-colored grass growing on the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't let his guard down. He turned around and looked at the donkey behind him. It was looking at the leg of the corpse that Wang Baole had just chopped off with a conflicted expression. It seemed to want to eat it, but it also found it disgusting.
"All you know is to eat every day!" Wang Baole glared at the donkey, but didn't bother with it. He had noticed earlier that although the donkey's cultivation was only at the third level of the True Breath realm, it seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough. At the same time, it had a strong sense of self-preservation. Even in the chaos just now, it had relied on its own speed to keep up with him. From the beginning to the end, he hadn't seen any of the corpses scratch it. It seemed that the donkey had some innate ability that he didn't understand.
Therefore, Wang Baole didn't bother with the donkey. With a shake of his body, he directly made his way out of the fissure and stepped into the passageway. He immediately checked his surroundings again. Through the activity of the Dark Fire in his body, he sensed the direction and was about to move forward.
But at that moment, the blood-colored grass around him suddenly swayed violently. As Wang Baole's expression changed, the grass suddenly erupted. In the blink of an eye, countless Blood Grass grew out from the ground and the walls around him. They were like tentacles that wrapped around Wang Baole.
It was the same in the passageway behind Wang Baole. It could be said that they had completely sealed off his front, back, left, and right. This made Wang Baole's expression turn serious. The Dharmic Armament in his hand shone and he swept it across.
Amidst the loud boom, although a large amount of Blood Grass was cut off, there were too many of them. They were also very resilient. The most shocking thing about them was that they had a corrosive power. When they came into contact with his body, even Wang Baole felt a stinging pain despite his thick skin.
Furthermore, there were too many of them. Even if Wang Baole could spend some time to re-enter the fissure, it would be extremely difficult for him to pass through this area of Blood Grass.
Whether it was lightning, flame explosion, or other methods, they didn't have much effect on the Blood Grass. He even took out a puppet to test it out, but it was useless. The Blood Grass quickly drilled into the puppet and corroded it.
In the end, he was really vexed. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to use the Dark Fire to test it out, suddenly, from within the fissure that was about to be completely sealed off by the Blood Grass, came the joyful cry of the donkey.
"Son!"
When he heard the cry, Wang Baole was puzzled. He looked toward the fissure and saw the donkey's eyes filled with excitement. It opened its mouth wide and gnawed on the Blood Grass.
"That works too?" Wang Baole stared in shock for a moment. Then he suddenly remembered that the donkey had eaten flowers and plants in the institute when it was hungry.
It was obvious that the taste of the Blood Grass was many times better than that of rotten meat. Therefore, the donkey ate faster and faster, and it grew increasingly excited. In the short period of time that Wang Baole watched, the donkey had finished all the Blood Grass at the entrance of the crevice. It dashed out happily, and when it saw that there was so much food outside, the donkey trembled with excitement. It hopped up and down a few times.
"Son! Son!! "
Wang Baole was also delighted. As he continued to chop, he kept an eye on the donkey. However, it didn't take long for him to grow dissatisfied. When he realized that the donkey still had the energy to hop up and down while eating, he rolled his eyes and roared, "Scram!
I can't let you eat all of this good stuff! I'm going to chop them all up! "
As Wang Baole roared, he increased his chopping speed. His words and actions caused the donkey to grow even more anxious. Its eyes reddened, and it stopped hopping around. Instead, it moved even faster than before, and began to gobble up the Blood Grass. As it ate, it seemed to have gained some experience. After biting down on the Blood Grass, it would suck in the roots, and then continue to gobble up the rest of the Blood Grass.
It was in this fashion that, under the donkey's frenzied protection, the Blood Grass in the area began to dwindle rapidly. Wang Baole was so happy that he let out another roar.
"You're going too far!" he roared. "There's even more delicious Blood Grass up ahead. I'm going to chop them all up!" Wang Baole roared angrily. With a flick of his body, he looked as though he was about to charge forward. Seeing that, the donkey grew even more anxious. With a loud roar, it sped ahead of Wang Baole and charged straight into the passageway. It entered the Blood Grass one step ahead of Wang Baole and began feasting madly as it advanced.
As for Wang Baole, he followed along behind the donkey. It was very easy for him. All he had to do was roar a few times, and act as if he were about to chop the Blood Grass.
It was in this fashion that Wang Baole proceeded smoothly toward the end of the tunnel. At the same time, more Blood Grass and more corpses began to appear in other areas of the tunnel.
Wherever the corpses appeared, there were Cultivators. Although there were some casualties, those who had participated in the rescue efforts had extraordinary battle prowess, and were very experienced. Although they were shocked, most were able to protect themselves, or at the very most, were trapped.
Then … in one of the passageways, behind a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was surrounded by countless Blood Grasses, a blood-red figure appeared without a sound and without the cultivator noticing at all.
The blood-colored figure was blurry, almost translucent. Most of the time, it was completely transparent, and it was impossible to make out its general appearance. The only thing that could be determined from its short stature was that it was a little boy.
However, as soon as he appeared, the Blood Grass and the corpses began to tremble, as if they were terrified. That was especially true of the boy's eyes, which glowed with a coldness that seemed capable of freezing all life.
The little boy stared coldly at the trapped Cultivator up ahead. Then, his body flickered as he passed directly through the Cultivator's back.
As he passed through, the Cultivator, who hadn't noticed at all, suddenly trembled. The light in his eyes faded, and his life force vanished. Then, he toppled to the ground.
Even in death, the Cultivator didn't seem to notice the blood-colored boy who had passed through him. Naturally, he also didn't notice that after passing through the Cultivator, a white sphere of flame had appeared in the boy's hand.
The boy tossed the sphere of flame into his mouth and swallowed it. Then, he licked his lips and vanished. When he reappeared, he was behind another Cultivator who had been surrounded by corpses and was in the middle of fighting. He didn't pause for even a moment. The Cultivator's body trembled, and he died instantly. The boy swallowed the sphere of flame that had appeared in his hand, and then vanished again to continue his slaughter.
He wasn't very powerful. In fact, in some ways, he was very weak. However, the Cultivators in front of him didn't seem to be able to detect him. Furthermore, he had strange techniques that seemed to naturally suppress them. None of them were able to fight back at all. Furthermore, he acted as if he were in his own home. After killing more than ten people, he reappeared. Up ahead, he saw a donkey feasting on grass, and Wang Baole howling in rage.
When he saw Wang Baole, the boy frowned. His nose twitched, and his eyes filled with suspicion. He thought for a moment, but couldn't seem to figure out what was going on. Gradually, his eyes filled with irritation. His body flickered as he shot toward Wang Baole.
He moved with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, he was right next to the happily feasting donkey. Just when he was about to ignore it and charge toward Wang Baole ….
