Bloody's voice transmission did not bring good news at all.
After killing the Kaiserpede, Bloody had parasitized it. Immortal-level rank-3 was the highest combat level that Bloody could parasitize. It was a chief-level monster that occupied a corner of the ruins. Obviously, it knew much more than the monsters that Bloody had parasitized before.
According to the memory that Lin Huang obtained, the Kaiserpede that he killed had been living in the ruins for many years. The most powerful monsters in the ruins were not imperial-level monsters. Instead, there were three powerful demigod remains and a mysterious, forbidden being.
He had always thought that the most powerful monster in the ruins was a grade-4 imperial-level. Until he read the Kaiserpede's memory, he realized that he was wrong. In fact, it was a grade-5 ruin with demigods!
The three demigod remains and the mysterious, forbidden being required a massive amount of blood and flesh. Therefore, the monsters in the ruins had to fight a large-scale battle every month. After the battle, all the monster carcasses had to be sacrificed to the demigods and the mysterious being.
Every month, the three demigod remains would engage in a huge battle with the mysterious being to fight for the blood and food offered by the monsters below.
If there was not enough blood, the three demigod remains and the mysterious being would kill the monsters.
Lin Huang knew very well that the frequent massacres would not cause the monsters in the ruins to go extinct. As soon as the number of monsters in the ruins dropped to a certain level, the ruins would be reactivated. By then, the Virtual Eye would open automatically and a massive number of monsters would enter.
What troubled Lin Huang was that the next blood sacrifice would take place three days later. By then, the three demigod remains and the mysterious being would wake up from their slumber.
"There are still three days left. Do I really have to leave the ruins like this?!" Lin Huang was unwilling to give up. Although he had the ruins key with him and he could leave anytime he wanted, he would have to wait for at least a year before he could enter again.
When the blood sacrifice began, almost all living things would become the target. It would not be safe even if he hid in the foothold. This was because the monsters would search for all possible hiding places in order to gather enough blood for them to eat. In the entire ruins, there was no place that was safe.
With Lin Huang's ability, he could fight an immortal-level monster. However, if he were to encounter an imperial-level monster, he might not be able to survive even if he used all his trump cards. This was also why he considered leaving before the blood sacrifice.
Moreover, there was another problem that made Lin Huang more vexed, and that was how to explain these things to others.
Just when Lin Huang's mind was in a mess, Bloody's voice came into Lin Huang's ears all of a sudden.
"There are a lot of monsters crawling out from the ground!"
"It's already dark outside?" Lin Huang's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, it's time to hunt," Bloody answered.
The so-called hunting time referred to the period of night between sunset and sunrise the next day. Unlike the monthly massacres, there would be groups of monsters hunting for food in these ruins every night. They would not invade other monsters' nests. Therefore, it was safe for Lin Huang and the rest to hide in the underground warehouse at night. It used to be the Kaiserpede's nest, so most monsters would take a detour when they came here.
"Lin Huang, what's wrong? You don't look good. "Leng Yuexin suddenly noticed Lin Huang's abnormal expression.
"It's already dark outside. Bloody just told me that it found out that many monsters are hunting for food on the ground." Lin Huang fell into silence for a moment, organizing his thoughts and getting ready to tell Lin Huang what he wanted to say.
"How many monsters are there?" Yi Zheng immediately asked.
"Quite a lot, and there are more and more of them." Bloody's voice was heard, it sounded like a little boy.
"How about their combat strength? Can you sense it?" Yi Zheng asked again.
"The most powerful ones are on imperial-level." In reality, Bloody had yet to detect the presence of imperial-level monsters, but it said so under Lin Huang's instruction.
"So, this is actually a grade-4 ruin!" Yi Zheng frowned while the rest looked serious.
If it was a grade-3 ruin where the most powerful monsters were only on immortal-level, it would be worthwhile for them to go and they would gain a lot from it. However, it was a grade-4 ruin and the risk was much higher. If they were to encounter an imperial-level monster by accident, all of them would be killed.
"Are you sure there are imperial-level monsters here?" Leng Yuexin asked Bloody again, trying to confirm it.
"I'm sure!" Bloody gave a firm answer without hesitation at all. "Moreover, there's more than one imperial-level monster that's wandering outside."
"A grade-4 ruin … The level of this ruin isn't something that we should explore now." After a moment of silence, Yi Zheng turned his head and looked at Lin Huang. "With our combat strength, this ruin is too dangerous."
"I think what Brother Zheng said makes sense. Lin Huang, let's retreat." Li Lang was shaken. With his current ability, he had no chance of defeating an immortal-level, let alone an imperial-level.
"We've only been here for a few days and you guys want to retreat? You're such a coward!" Yi Yeyu immediately objected.
"There's at least a year between the opening of the ruin and we've only been here for a day. If we miss this opportunity, we'll have to wait for next year." It was obvious that Leng Yuexin was unwilling to leave.
"That's right. Apart from some dead people's Emperor's Heart Rings, we haven't obtained any treasures!" Yi Yeyu immediately stood on the same side as Leng Yuexin.
"This ruin is too dangerous for us. It's not worth it if we lose our lives for the treasures." Yi Zheng frowned and objected.
"I agree with Brother Zheng. If there's no other way, let's come next year." It was obvious that Li Lang wanted to retreat.
"Lin Huang, what do you think?" Leng Yuexin looked calm as she turned her head and asked Lin Huang.
"I think we should stay for a few days. It's better than leaving without knowing anything." Lin Huang suggested, "If we're sure that the danger is beyond our capabilities, it's not too late to leave then."
"I agree with Lin Huang. We haven't even confirmed anything yet. Is it really necessary to be so scared? "Yi Yeyu was unhappy with Yi Zheng's attitude.
"I think we should stay for a few days. After all, it's rare for us to enter the ruin." Leng Yuexin agreed with Lin Huang.
"Alright then …" Yi Zheng decided to compromise. In fact, he was unwilling to leave but he had to persuade them to leave for safety reasons.
"Since all of you insist on staying, I'll accompany you to the end." Li Lang looked helpless. In fact, he was really scared.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the first underground floor.
"Hide your aura and go up to have a look. After all, we have to see it with our own eyes." Lin Huang stood at the bottom of the well and pointed at the top.
