The deep well was circular in shape and could accommodate one person. The blue stones that were used to make the well were cold to the touch, chilling to the bone.
Han Shuo stood beside the deep well and could feel the rich water yuan qi in the deep well. Perhaps it was because the two cold auras had sensed the presence of a living person, but they had already begun to stir in the deep well.
In such a place, there was a deep well with a place of extreme water below. This made Han Shuo ecstatic in his surprise. If the Five Elemental Corpses were all refined, they would form a great formation that would have an extremely amazing power. Now that Han Shuo had found the place of extreme earth and extreme wood, if he added this place of extreme water, he would be one step closer to success.
As Han Shuo was secretly rejoicing, Phoebe suddenly frowned and said, "It seems to be a little colder. You said this is a place of extreme water, what do you mean?"
Two bone-piercing cold air suddenly spread out from the deep well. The originally calm deep well suddenly gurgled and splashed water. Clouds of white mist suddenly floated out from the deep well and scattered in the courtyard like clusters of clouds.
"It's here!" Han Shuo snorted coldly and reached out to grab Phoebe. He said solemnly, "The Water Demon has come out to cause trouble. Be careful!"
The water yuan qi in the place of extreme water was very rich. If someone drowned in such a place, their soul would not immediately dissipate into the world. With the nourishment of the water yuan qi, as long as the soul knew how to absorb even a little bit, it would form a strange existence called the Water Demon.
When the Water Demon absorbed the water yuan qi, the power of the soul would be greatly enhanced. It could use its special ability to manipulate the yuan qi in the place of extreme water and attack any living beings that approached.
Han Shuo had already understood all of this information when he learned about the refining method of the Five Elemental Corpses. Therefore, after arriving here, when Han Shuo sensed the existence of two cold auras in the deep well, he immediately understood that there must be two Water Demons forming inside.
However, Han Shuo still did not understand why the Little Skull was able to sense this place. What was there that could attract him?
Little Skull held the bone knife in his hand and stood next to the well. His empty eye sockets looked into the well. No one knew what he was waiting for or what he was planning to do.
The water vapor in the deep well spread to the courtyard, and the white fog was thick. The surrounding scenery was affected by the fog and suddenly became blurry. The water vapor also seemed to carry a cold aura, and the temperature in the already cold weather suddenly plummeted.
"I can't see anything clearly!" At this moment, Phoebe cried out in alarm.
"This is the water curtain formed by the Water Demon's control of the water yuan qi. They will attack us under the cover of the water curtain!" Han Shuo's calm voice came from the side, calming Phoebe's slightly chaotic heart.
Phoebe's eyesight was only at the level of an ordinary person. Even if she cultivated qi, it was only slightly brighter than ordinary people. Compared to a demonic practitioner like Han Shuo who had experienced the cruel training of his body, she was naturally far inferior.
Therefore, when her eyesight was obstructed, Han Shuo's pair of starry eyes were not affected at all. In the white fog, there seemed to be silver lightning flashing in Han Shuo's eyes as he calmly surveyed the surroundings.
Suddenly, the bubbling water in the deep well burst out like a fountain. These crystal clear water streams seemed to have a life of their own as they formed strips and entangled Han Shuo and Phoebe.
A cold and gloomy aura overflowed from the deep well. Even with the strength of Han Shuo's body, he couldn't help but feel a little cold. The strips formed by the water were between liquid and solid. Like soft eels, they reached out to grab Han Shuo and Phoebe's bodies.
"You're courting death!" Han Shuo grinned. His smile seemed a little cruel.
Red devil flames suddenly appeared in his hands. Like an evil fire that could burn everything, it suddenly stood in front of Han Shuo and Phoebe. As soon as the red devil flames appeared, the surrounding cold aura sizzled and emitted heat waves. The scorching hot aura spread to the surroundings, causing Phoebe's body to immediately feel warm.
Hundreds of eel-like strips approached the red devil flames that Han Shuo had set up. Before they could land on the devil flames, they had already melted into water vapor.
Two unpleasant low cries, like the last cries of a drowning person, suddenly came from the deep well. Two blood-red shadows suddenly shot out from the deep well. The two shadows seemed to be formed from blood as they constantly twisted and deformed in the air. Finally, they formed the figures of a man and a woman. However, shadows were still shadows and didn't have real appearances.
"Blood water demons!" Han Shuo was shocked as he looked at the two blood-red shadows in astonishment.
Water demons lived in places of extreme water. If they did evil and killed many living beings, then they would absorb the blood of these living beings.
Blood was also a liquid and had the same properties as water. The boiling blood of living beings on the verge of death also had a strange power. Water demons would absorb the power contained in their blood. When the power of the blood absorbed was large enough, water demons could become even more vicious and vicious blood water demons.
After water demons became blood water demons, not only could they control the power of water origin energy in places of extreme water, but they could also control the blood of living beings with flesh and blood. They were very difficult to deal with. Therefore, when Han Shuo saw that there were already two blood water demons in front of him, he was immediately very surprised.
Blood water demons were different from other bloodthirsty monsters. Because they had water power to wash them, they could often cover up their own smell of blood. This was also why Han Shuo's sensitive nose couldn't smell a trace of blood when he came close.
The two blood water demons came out of the deep well. Their blood shadows twisted in the air and covered Han Shuo and Phoebe like two blood clouds. Evil power suddenly filled Han Shuo and Phoebe. In an instant, Han Shuo felt the blood in his body boil as if he couldn't control it.
Turning around, Han Shuo found that Phoebe was in an even worse state. Two lines of blood were already flowing out of her nostrils, and her pretty face looked extremely wretched.
Cursing inwardly, Han Shuo grabbed Phoebe and threw her outside with all his strength, shouting at the same time, "Leave this courtyard!"
Regardless of whether Phoebe agreed or not, her body had already been thrown out by Han Shuo. As a swordmaster, Phoebe had extraordinary strength. Han Shuo wasn't worried that she'd be injured from the fall. But facing two blood water demons here, she likely wouldn't even have the chance to attack before dying from the loss of blood.
The blood in his body started flowing uncontrollably towards his orifices. Han Shuo first brought out the Demonslayer Edge against the blood water demons, but the Demonslayer Edge couldn't do any damage to the two blood water demons at all as it whistled through the air and pierced into their bodies.
Cutting water with a knife would make it flow even more. This was an iron-clad fact! The blood water demons' bodies were made of liquid. No matter how sharp the Demonslayer Edge was, the blood water demons would easily reform after being cut into pieces and wouldn't be harmed in the slightest.
The bodies of the two blood water demons reformed after they'd been severed and continued to move unhurriedly towards Han Shuo. With the characteristics of the blood water demons, when they covered Han Shuo's body, they could instantly suck away all of Han Shuo's blood and turn Han Shuo into a desiccated corpse.
As a demonic cultivator, the power contained within Han Shuo's blood wasn't something that an ordinary person or any other strong practitioner in this world could compare to.
The two blood water demons seemed to have sensed this as well and treated Han Shuo as a great tonic. They didn't care about Phoebe's departure at all. They didn't separate one blood water demon to deal with Phoebe and instead focused on Han Shuo. This was an obvious indication of how much they valued Han Shuo.
The blood in his body was in a frenzy as the magical yuan was doing its best to control the flow of blood out of his body. As his blood surged, the two forces restrained Han Shuo's body, making it hard for Han Shuo to move.
However, the power of demonic yuan was also reflected at this moment. As a swordmaster, Phoebe was already bleeding profusely without any resistance. However, Han Shuo was able to use his demonic yuan to forcefully stop the blood from flowing out of his body. Although it was a bit difficult to resist, not a single drop of blood had flowed out of Han Shuo's body.
The two greedy blood water demons were finally about to reach Han Shuo. Han Shuo couldn't move and couldn't use his demonic yuan, so he could only use necromancy magic. Bone spears, bone arrows, and corpse explosion. Han Shuo released one necromancy magic after another, but the two blood water demons remained completely unharmed.
At this moment, Han Shuo suddenly understood that he could only harm the two blood water demons by burning them at high temperatures. It was a pity that all of his magical yuan was being used to stop his blood from flowing out, and he couldn't use the Mystical Glacial Spellfire at all.
Damn it, am I going to die at the hands of two blood water demons? I'm not resigned to this! Forget it, I'll use the Mystical Glacial Spellfire to kill the two blood water demons even if I have to risk losing all of my blood. Now that the demon infant has formed, even if I lose all of my blood and body, I can still be reborn with the help of the demon infant. It'll just be a great blow to my vitality, but it'll be much better than dying now.
Han Shuo made up his mind and then made up his mind to kill the two blood water demons even if he had to expend a great deal of his energy.
At this moment, a mysterious connection suddenly came from the Little Skull, as if it could understand Han Shuo's thoughts. The Little Skull sent out a strand of consciousness, anxiously stopping Han Shuo's actions.
There were no precise words or words, but the message was for Han Shuo to stop. Han Shuo could clearly feel it. Han Shuo, who'd been about to make a move, was momentarily stunned as his mind raced.
The two blood water demons were only five or six meters away from Han Shuo. Han Shuo couldn't move and could only look forward, but he couldn't see any trace of the Little Skull.
If he didn't make a move now, Han Shuo could be covered by the two blood water demons at any moment. All of his blood would be sucked dry in the blink of an eye, and his body would instantly lose all signs of life. The demon infant would likely be unable to escape the hands of the two blood water demons even if it left his body. His entire body and soul would be destroyed without a trace.
The Little Skull's anxiousness made Han Shuo unsure if he should stop his plans. Seeing the two blood water demons gradually approach, Han Shuo sighed and made a decision that he didn't know was right or wrong — trust him!
A resolute look appeared in his starry eyes as Han Shuo threw all of his previous plans to the back of his mind. Han Shuo stood where he was and didn't take any action. He simply waited for the Little Skull's next move and gambled with his life.
When the two blood water demons finally covered him, Han Shuo could no longer restrain the blood that he'd been controlling with his magical yuan. It surged out of his orifices like a tide.
A deep sense of despair suddenly filled Han Shuo's heart. However, Han Shuo didn't feel any resentment towards the Little Skull. On the contrary, he felt that he trusted the Little Skull. There was nothing to regret even if he died this time.
Suddenly, Han Shuo's rapidly flowing blood came to a sudden stop, as if the brakes had been slammed on. The mysterious power that controlled his blood also vanished in an instant. Han Shuo's magical yuan once again flowed unimpeded through his body, and his uncontrollable blood flow returned to normal.
The two blood water demons in front of him, their featureless bodies, twisted and turned violently in front of his eyes. Han Shuo could tell from the violent twisting and struggling of the two blood shadows that they were trying to express their emotions — fear!
After the power that controlled his blood had returned to normal, Han Shuo could move freely again. He raised his head and saw that the two blood shadows had been pierced by a few bone spikes. The Little Skull was looking at him with one of his empty eye sockets. He was crouching slightly, his two leg bones resting on the two blood water demons. Seven long bone spikes were deeply embedded in the bodies of the two blood water demons.
Streaks of bloody light flowed down the seven bone spikes like liquid and rapidly into the Little Skull's body. The seven somewhat blunt bone spikes emitted a bewitching, cold red light. The broken bones in front of the Little Skull's chest rearranged themselves at a speed visible to Han Shuo's naked eye, also flashing with a bloody red light.
On the contrary, the two blood water demons that had been glowing with blood suddenly became dull and lifeless. All of the bewitching blood red color seemed to be sucked in by the seven bone spikes as they surged madly towards where the bone spikes were inserted. The blood water demons of the two blood shadows gradually turned pale. Han Shuo could feel that the water energy that the two blood water demons had absorbed for who knew how many years, along with the power of the blood of living beings, was rapidly flowing into the Little Skull's body.
This state didn't last long. When the blood water demons completely turned pale, there was a splash as their bodies turned into two puddles of water and splashed onto the ground.
In an instant, the water vapor that had been shrouding the courtyard was blown away by a cold wind and completely disappeared. The afterglow was like blood as it shone down from the sky, giving the courtyard a bleak sense of beauty.
"Plop." The Little Skull that had been relying on the two blood water demons to stay in the air lost its footing and fell down due to the dissipation of the two blood water demons.
The Little Skull reached out its hand and scratched its smooth skull. The hollow eyes of the Little Skull met Han Shuo's eyes, and a sense of joy suddenly spread from the Little Skull's body into Han Shuo's heart. Every bone on the little skeleton, which was originally as beautiful as fresh blood, was now flowing with a bright red brilliance. After a short while, the little skeleton's bones actually changed again, and finally became as white as jade.
Ever since the Little Skull had been summoned by Han Shuo, his entire skeleton had turned black and blood red due to the refinement of demonic arts. He hadn't expected it to change back to its original color. However, the bones on the Little Skull's body were now obviously different from the white color of normal skeletal warriors.
His bones were translucent and as white as jade, and seemed to sparkle with a dazzling light under the sunlight. This made Han Shuo feel a bit baffled.
It was only now that Han Shuo finally understood why the Little Skull had stopped in front of the shop and refused to leave. He must have been attracted by the blood water demons!
Han Shuo remembered the last time he was at Bob Ascher's slave farm in Valen City, the necromancer Clarendon of the Calamity Church had used blood to summon the three-eyed evil god. In the end, all the blood in the altar had been absorbed by the Little Skull. Perhaps it was because of this that the smell of blood on the blood water demons could be hidden from Han Shuo, but not from the Little Skull. This was why the Little Skull had entered the shop of his own accord.
As Han Shuo was deep in thought, a strand of divine sense once again came from the Little Skull. This time, the Little Skull actually strongly requested to return to the other dimension, and Han Shuo could feel his surging fighting spirit for revenge.
After absorbing the power of the two blood water demons, the Little Skull had obviously changed. Not only had all the injuries from the fierce battle recovered, but it also seemed to have gained some other miraculous abilities, which was why he was so full of confidence.
The Little Skull's fighting spirit and demands were very strong. Han Shuo hesitated for a moment, thinking that it shouldn't be a problem if he was more careful in sensing it in the future. Thus, he used necromancy spells to send the Little Skull back to another mysterious plane.
