On the bank of the River of Blood, a mangrove tree that was more than a hundred feet tall and as thick as a few people's arms was draping its red branches into the river.
From time to time, some water monsters coveted this vibrant giant tree and pounced on it to eat.
However, they all became fish that took the bait …
Those branches instantly turned into a giant net, trapping the water monsters that pounced on it.
After another moment, the water monsters turned into a pool of blood and splashed into the river.
"Hahaha, after eating you, I'll become stronger. I want to protect my children …" The giant tree laughed maniacally.
Its voice echoed on the surface of the river, stirring up waves.
The River of Blood continued to flow downstream, as if everything had nothing to do with it.
Not long after, not far from the giant tree, on the bank of the river that was only a few hundred meters away from the River of Blood, a door of fire suddenly appeared on the crimson grass.
Then, a group of white people walked out from it. It was Hook and his group.
"Hey, Master Abraham, how did it become like this?" Hook glanced around and immediately noticed something unusual.
"Uh, you're saying that this giant tree that's in a bloodthirsty state is the Master Abraham? Isn't he always close to nature, training with the Path of Oak and never killing? "William looked at the giant tree that was devouring the water monsters in confusion.
"It must be him. He was the only tree here when I left. The mahogany by the river looks almost the same as him. Although its color has changed, I can still recognize him. "Hook said confidently.
"It seems that this old man must have encountered some changes." William nodded.
"Oh no, where did my subordinates go? Don't tell me they're all dead? "Hook asked in surprise.
He clearly remembered that before he left, there were dozens of Robocops left here. He did not expect that after leaving for a while, not a single one was left.
"Alright, why care about those people? They're just a group of cannon fodder to explore the way. Kelly, Ed … Set up the Twelve Astral Formation by the river immediately. If I'm not wrong, this River of Blood is the source of the power of the entire arcane realm. As long as we can refine it into crystals, we'll definitely be able to control the entire arcane realm. "Countess Barito said proudly.
Hook heard this and could not help but look at her in a different light.
He had been here for a much longer time than the other party, but he had not discovered anything.
As soon as the other party entered, he immediately discovered the root.
This was where the difference between the two sides lay. Professionals would be able to see the trick immediately, while laymen could only watch from the sidelines.
A group of red-robed alchemists immediately rushed to the riverside, took out all kinds of materials, bottles, and jars, and began to set up the so-called Twelve Astral Formation.
William looked on coldly.
He had been residing in China, so he did not know much about the progress of the USA's mysterious world.
In his opinion, there should be a huge gap between the level of the other party and the cultivation world of China.
It could be seen that these warlocks were well-trained. Their method of setting up the formation was neat and uniform, like workers on an assembly line, extremely fast and accurate.
Lines of blue and white were drawn on the ground. Then, different ingredients were sprinkled on them and they formed a complicated pattern.
Perhaps their foundation was not as good as China's, but they obviously had their merits.
Countess Barito, on the other hand, did not make a move. She just kept looking at the giant red tree.
After watching for a while, she suddenly ordered, "Set that giant tree as the final sacrifice for the Astral Array. I believe its power will be amplified to the extreme."
"No!" Hook was the first to shout and quickly stopped the others. "The Great Wizard Abraham is the symbol of the USA, the pinnacle of power. We must not sacrifice him while he's unconscious. The loss will be incalculable!"
William heard this and looked at the rumored sly and cold Bureau Chief in surprise.
He did not expect the Bureau Chief to have such a righteous side. Humans were indeed complicated animals. They could not be simply distinguished by good and evil.
"Hmph, do you think that you're still the powerful Bureau Chief here?" The Countess reached out her hand, as if she wanted to grab Hook.
However, Bureau Chief Hook did not move at all. Instead, it made her look like a clown in a play.
"Damn it, magic is forbidden here! But it doesn't matter. Both of you, grab this long-winded guy and throw him into the river. I think this piece of trash might be able to slightly enhance the power of the River of Blood … Hahahaha! "The Countess laughed maniacally.
As soon as she finished speaking, two backup alchemists immediately trotted over to grab Hook.
"Mr. William, come and save me!" Hook turned pale with fright.
Magic was forbidden, and there were dozens of alchemists in front of him. How could he fight them?
He did not expect that the other party would immediately turn hostile as soon as they entered.
With the previous example, he did not bring any subordinates with him.
Even if he brought them in, they would lose their minds and kill each other. If he was not careful, they might even harm him.
However, he did not understand why the killing intent of Heaven and Earth had no effect on these alchemists in red robes.
He had the Hat of Nature condensed by Master Abraham to protect his mind. Perhaps it was because of this that the master himself lost the ability to fight against the killing intent of Heaven and Earth.
These alchemists were only Pond-level. How could they have the same talisman as the master?
When William heard this, he waved his hand. However, the lightning did not appear. Only then did he realize that the Countess was not lying.
So, the next moment, he ran away …
"Hahahaha, you're really smart. No wonder you're a genius businessman …" The Countess looked at his back and laughed even louder.
"Damn it, treacherous villain! Capitalists are indeed the most untrustworthy! "Hook was flustered and exasperated.
However, the next moment, two iron hands grabbed him tightly and dragged him to the river.
"Let go of me, let go of me," Hook yelled, then suddenly said in horror, "So, so you're not, you're not …"
Before he could finish his last sentence, he was thrown into the surging Blood River …
The next moment, countless black shadows entangled him and began to tear his flesh.
Countless bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, then calmed down.
A small fry's vigorous ambition was like these bubbles, it came quickly and disappeared even faster …
"Hahahaha, the hindrances are gone. Now this is my world!" Countess Barito laughed wildly, pleased with herself.
The alchemists, on the other hand, were all indifferent and continued to outline the so-called Astral Formation.
…
Half an hour later, somewhere in the withered mountains, William was resting against the back of the mountain. He took out a bottle of water and slowly rehydrated himself.
"Hehe, luckily I've been working out, or else I wouldn't have been able to run out."
He muttered to himself. Hook's death, to him, did not cause the slightest ripple.
In this day and age, people dying was the most common thing. It would be abnormal if someone did not die.
Not only did he not feel any gratitude towards Hook, but he had also hurt his only relative. It would be strange if he would save him.
After resting for a while, he raised his head and looked at a stream not far away. The stream was exceptionally obvious because it was entirely red and it was flowing into the distance.
Although the Countess was cruel, what she said was right. This Blood River was really the key to this arcane realm.
It seemed that no matter where he went, he would always see it. This was definitely not a coincidence.
In fact, it should be said that it was the blood of the entire arcane realm. It was distributed everywhere, and this stream in front of him was its capillaries.
"Alright, let's start exploring this capillary first."
