Just as Wang Baole was reeling from the shock, the puppet that he had unleashed suddenly and soundlessly shattered. It was as if it had been crushed by a powerful force, and it crumbled into dust!
That wasn't the end. There seemed to be a strange force pursuing the connection between the puppet and Wang Baole, heading straight for the crack he was hiding in. Wang Baole retreated hastily, the warmth in his body rapidly cooling. By the time the warmth from the Thousand Lives ability completely disappeared, Wang Baole had already fled far away, finally avoiding the destructive force behind him.
When he was sure that the force that had wiped away the puppet wasn't coming after him, Wang Baole leaned against the wall, panting heavily. His heart couldn't calm down. The level of danger here was beyond his imagination. From the flower fragrance illusion at the beginning, to what he had encountered along the way, to what he was experiencing now, almost every moment here made his scalp tingle with fear!
"And this is only the first level … If the Never-Ending Clan battleship is so powerful, destroying the Dao Palace would be a piece of cake. But that doesn't make sense … If the battleship is so powerful, why would there be a cry for help earlier?!" Wang Baole frowned. Feng Qiuran and the others were confused because of their concern, and Wang Baole didn't know the person who had called for help. Now that he had analyzed the situation, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
"The cries for help are meant to lure people here. Does that mean that … the interior of the battleship seems unbelievably powerful, and it can control behemoths? But in reality, there are many limitations. Either the things in the world of corpses can't leave, or the battleship itself needs some special items to be activated!" Wang Baole didn't have much information, so that was all he could guess. Although it wasn't accurate, Wang Baole felt that he was on the right track.
If it's the former, the mastermind behind the battleship must have lured everyone here with the intention of wiping out the powerful cultivators from the Dao Palace. If it's the latter, the mastermind must have lured everyone here with the intention of sacrificing, killing, or controlling them! Wang Baole had an ugly expression on his face. After a moment of silence, he looked around him.
Right now, he was inside the millstone. Perhaps it was because the millstone had existed for too long, and as it spun continuously, many small cracks had appeared in its interior. These cracks were very small to the millstone itself, but to Wang Baole, they were like passageways leading to an unknown destination.
Looking at the passageway in front of him, Wang Baole had no choice but to suppress his worry for Zhao Yameng and Kongdao. After taking a deep breath, he walked forward carefully as the millstone rumbled. He wanted to find another exit and see if he could leave this place.
Just like that, time passed slowly. Wang Baole walked along the passageway for a long time. There were many times when he reached the end and had no choice but to turn back and continue through other cracks. He was very careful along the way. Whenever he felt that there was danger, he would release the puppets to scout the way. In the end, he even released a large number of puppets and had them move along different cracks, making it easier for him to find the most suitable route.
He estimated that five or six days had passed. Finally, one day, which should be noon in the outside world, Wang Baole suddenly stopped in his tracks. His pupils contracted, and his face paled slightly. Through his connection with one of the puppets, he saw something through the puppet.
It was the end of another crack not far from here. In the puppet's eyes, there was a huge pool there. Above the pool, there was a huge flower!
The flower was violet, and grew on the wall. It hung upside down in full bloom, and was about thirty meters tall. It emitted a demonic glow, and at the same time, drops of violet liquid slowly dripped down from the flower into the pool of water below!
And in the pool, there were dozens of figures sitting cross-legged. Each of them had three heads and six arms. While their auras were powerful, they didn't have any vitality. However, there was no aura of death either. It was as if they had fallen into a seal and were in a deep sleep.
One could see that there were shocking injuries on their bodies. At the same time, the liquid in the pool seemed to have healing powers. It allowed their injuries to recover slightly while they were soaking in it!
Although this recovery was slow, it was real!
When Wang Baole saw this scene through the puppet, he immediately became nervous. After sensing the aura fluctuations of these Never-Ending Clan cultivators, Wang Baole became even more cautious. Even the weakest among them made him feel as if he was facing Annihilator and the other two.
Wang Baole didn't act rashly. He controlled the puppet and retreated carefully. Amidst his nervousness, he continued to explore the other rifts. After a period of time, Wang Baole gradually realized, with an ugly expression on his face, that he had discovered more than twenty similar pools within the millstone!
Wang Baole couldn't determine how many he hadn't discovered. At the same time, he noticed that at the top of each pool, there was a huge purple flower that dripped with the liquid that allowed the Never-Ending Clan cultivators to heal their injuries!
This made Wang Baole even more anxious. Fortunately, he had enough puppets. Especially when Wang Baole began to pay more attention to the huge purple flowers, he consciously chose the path of the cracks and found the stems of these huge purple flowers!
Every huge purple flower had a stem buried deep in the rock wall. And following their stems, Wang Baole discovered that they were all connected to a huge pipe!
Hence, Wang Baole used the puppets to spread out and search. Finally, after a few days, he found the huge pipe at the end of a crack. This pipe was about a thousand feet in diameter. It was very soft to the touch, and its surface was translucent. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a large amount of mud-like flesh flowing in this pipe!
This discovery made Wang Baole gasp. An image appeared in his mind. In the image, after the vast millstone crushed the corpses into meat paste, it would flow into a blood and flesh pipe like this. And on this pipe, there were many forked stems. Each stem was connected to a secret chamber, where purple flowers would bloom and drip with the liquid used for healing.
According to the size of the millstone, I can confirm that this is definitely not the only blood and flesh pipe like this in front of me. Otherwise, if I found the source and threw in some poison, I might be able to kill a nest of them … Wang Baole looked at the blood and flesh pipe in front of him with some regret. First of all, he didn't have the kind of poison that could kill the Never-Ending Clan members. Second, the source was very difficult to find. Even if he found it, he might end up making a fool of himself. If he stimulated the Never-Ending Clan members to awaken prematurely, then he would really be finished.
Hence, after suppressing this thought, Wang Baole sighed. He endured the discomfort in his heart and looked at the blood and flesh pipe in front of him again. After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth. He knew very well that if he wanted to leave this place, this blood and flesh pipe was the only way out.
If he followed the pipe, he could reach the deepest part of the millstone. Only there might be a way out, and this was the only way he could find in the half a month he had been here.
Hence, very quickly, Wang Baole's eyes were filled with determination. After approaching the blood and flesh pipe, he slowly pressed his body against it. Fortunately, the pipe was soft. Hence, with Wang Baole's strength, his entire body seemed to sink in, burying his body inside. Although he didn't enter the blood and flesh pipe, he was so close to his body that he could even feel the flow of flesh and blood in the membrane of the pipe and the thick smell of blood.
However, Wang Baole was also a ruthless person. At that moment, he narrowed his eyes and slowly climbed down the blood and flesh pipe without any hesitation. Even if he encountered rocks, after he sunk his body into the pipe, he successfully passed through them. Just like that, Wang Baole was careful along the way. He didn't slow down at all as he gradually followed the pipe all the way down.
After walking for an unknown distance, Wang Baole felt like he had been walking for about three days. Finally, he saw the end of the pipe below him. It seemed to extend into another world, and a light appeared.
That light made Wang Baole instantly excited. His breathing quickened as he increased his speed. When he was about to reach the end, he slowed down again. He released the puppet and had it investigate first. With the puppet's vision, Wang Baole immediately saw the light source below him clearly!
The moment he saw it, Wang Baole's eyes widened.
"What is this place?!"
