As the leader of the Dark Snow organization, Gai Jin had a special sense of pride. She had started from scratch and slowly made herself famous. Although her name did not resound throughout the entire Black Dungeon, those who were reputable had at least heard of her.
She cherished this honor because she was also a member of the Outer Soul. However, she met a kind soul elder who secretly raised her. Because of an accident, she was forced to leave and wander on her own. He even brought some of his clansmen to her for her to take care of.
From the beginning, she had worked hard, and with the help of that Elder, she had finally reached the Human Soul realm. Furthermore, she was still improving rapidly. Her talent was indeed not bad, and the Dark Snow organization that she had established had also successfully made a name for herself.
The Snowflake Dart became their unique characteristic, and it was also the skill that made her famous. It was a name that she had earned step by step.
However, although her organization was famous, it was still hidden in the shadows. Most people did not know where they were.
Originally, she wanted to charge forward with even greater glory, but a piece of bad news reached her ears, almost causing her to die from anger.
Her parents were dead!
That elder had helped her a lot. In human terms, that elder was no different from her parents, but he still died.
She was the one who asked him to come here, but he met with danger along the way. It was that damned woman's husband who killed him. Although she paid a great price to kill him, it was far from enough to quell her anger. She set her sights on Madam Xue.
However, Madam Xue was far more difficult to deal with than her husband. There were even a few times when she almost died if not for her luck. However, she did not give up. She even felt that she could not kill the other party. After learning of the other party's intentions, she secretly helped the other party gather the materials.
Finally, the other party successfully gave birth to a child. As expected, the child was incomparably weak, with almost no strength left. This made her overjoyed.
However, the other party's protection was also very strict. She patiently waited for an opportunity.
Finally, the day came. She lured away the other party's guards and let her most outstanding snake girl kill the other party. The other party's fog could not hide their true location.
Everything was going very smoothly. However, a person's sudden arrival disrupted her plans. Even her follow-up plans had inexplicably failed, causing her to accumulate boundless anger in her heart.
However, due to certain matters, she obeyed Zhu Hun's orders and began to infiltrate. However, she also secretly investigated the other party's situation. Finally, she had a rough idea of the other party's origins. This made her wild with joy. After losing some people, she had obtained the other party's lair.
She could no longer bear it. Zhu Hun's bright light was thrown to the back of her mind. because she knew that she had to eliminate the other party to smoothly kill her enemy.
"Lord Gai, the scouts have returned. Inside that strange building, there are only a dozen people inside. They are all the people from before, but one woman is missing."
Just as Gai Jin was reminiscing, a subordinate hurriedly came over and said.
"Of that woman?" Gai Jin was taken aback, but he instantly understood who it was. It was that girl called Pan Xuan. She was inseparable from the other party to protect him. Although the other party was not strong, he had a lot of good things in his hands. He did not know where those things came from, but she alone could protect him well.
From the information she had obtained, the other party had put in a lot of effort for these strange people. It was no wonder she would protect the other party.
"There's no need to ask her. Let's get rid of her lair and leave a few people alive to see where she came from."
"Lord Hui, I'll leave it to you this time," said Gai Jin respectfully.
This was a very ordinary looking middle-aged man. Just by standing there, he could be ignored. However, this was the helper Gai Jin had invited. He was also a good friend of the elder. He had specially come to help. His strength was at the late stage Grand Immortal realm.
Of course, he was also a member of the besieging Soul Alliance. However, he had not started the attack yet. He had specially come to help hold the line.
"What's the situation inside?" Lord Hui nodded. Then, he stared at the subordinate who reported.
This was his own clansman. The mission of gathering information was given to him. He had an unusual scouting method. Ordinary barriers and defenses could not stop his observation.
"Elder, the other party has two early stage Human Soul, one middle stage Human Soul, and the rest are all peak Spectral Soul."
"There are only a dozen of them. With our strength, we can kill them directly." On the other side, another friend of Snake Woman came to help. Although his cultivation was only at the early stage Human Soul and he only brought a dozen people, he did not think the other party was anything to be afraid of.
After all, there were nearly a hundred of them. The difference in strength was too great.
"My friend Drunken Rong, although there are only a few of them, we cannot be careless. After all, from our previous observation, the other party's hiding place is not small. It looks very strange. Although we are not afraid, we still need to consider our subordinates. We cannot make innocent sacrifices," Lord Hui looked at Drunken Rong with dissatisfaction.
"Then Lord Hui, what do you think we should do? I don't know anything else. I only know how to charge," Drunken Rong was not angry. Instead, he asked with a smile.
"Leave ten people outside to provide support. The rest will follow us in," Lord Hui blurted out. It seemed that he had already thought about it before. However, he knew that he was only avenging his old friend. He did not know who the master of this operation was. "Gai Jin, if you have any instructions, just say it."
"Lord Hui's arrangement is very good. I'm just a junior, and I don't have as much experience as you. If I do something wrong, please help me correct it. For the sake of our own people, fewer people will die," Gai Jin said modestly.
She was right. If it was a small scale operation with only a few people, it would be easy for her to command. However, when there were so many people gathered, she was a little overwhelmed. She had been asking Lord Hui for advice, and only then did she manage to manage these people well.
"En, then let's set off. If we delay any longer, the other party might notice something." Lord Hui's face was as calm as water, and no one could see the fluctuations in his heart. However, he was actually quite satisfied with this foreign soul adopted by his old friend.
Smart, humble, and sensible. It was no wonder that he would repeatedly praise Gai Jin.
Following Gai Jin's orders, the people who had been hiding in the surroundings began to split into three teams. They approached from different directions. At the same time, the concealment array that had been set up long ago was activated from the outside, completely sealing the people inside.
Among them, Gong An led the most people. He walked at the front, and behind him were the elites stopped by Dark Snow. They were almost all of the remaining forces. On the left and right were the teams led by Lord Hui and Drunken Glory.
Not long after, a hall that looked like a small hill appeared in front of them. This was the place they were looking for.
Even though they had seen it once, seeing such a strange hall again, many people still felt a sense of disgust and inexplicable fear.
That was because the exterior of this hall was not made of ordinary stones or other building materials. Instead, it looked like blood, flowing slowly on the surface. There were some indistinct protrusions that appeared and disappeared from time to time. Sometimes, an arm, a head, or even half a body would suddenly extend out. It was as if someone was trapped inside and was constantly struggling. It was extremely frightening.
Almost everyone here could smell the pungent smell of blood from afar. Only when they looked over here did they realize that the smell of blood was so pungent that it almost made them think of a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses.
However, no one here was an ordinary person. The whole team quickly approached the only entrance here. A bridge formed by blood directly went through the entrance. Under the bridge, there was a small stream of thick blood flowing slowly in all directions, disappearing into the ground. The entire hall seemed to be built in a sea of blood.
"Each of your teams, send two people to stand guard outside. I'll leave eight people here. The rest of you, follow closely behind. We'll provide support or alert at any time," Gai Jin ordered the gathered subordinates.
"This place is so strange. The other party has probably already noticed our presence. Be careful of the traps and mechanisms inside. If anything goes wrong, don't hold back," Lord Hui also warned.
The entrance was very big, enough for more than ten people to walk in side by side. However, they still formed two teams. One team was Gai Jin's people, and the other team was Lord Hui and Drunken Rong's subordinates. All of them had already activated their defenses, and various protective shields covered their bodies.
The three of them, who were the strongest, walked at the front. Each of them was separated by some distance to prevent a sudden attack so that they could act in time.
On both sides of them were walls made of blood. Other than the fact that the color was slightly lighter, it was not much different from the outside. There were also no strange things that would make one's heart turn cold. At least, it made everyone feel a little more at ease.
Facing the fear of the unknown, all intelligent creatures would be afraid.
Not long after, the three people leading the team stopped because there was a fork in the road in front of them. Each fork looked the same, and not far away, there was another fork in the road. It looked like a maze.
"Lord Hui, let's go from the left!"
The Illusory Race member who followed behind closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a while before suddenly opening his eyes and speaking.
"Let's go!"
The whole team suddenly changed direction and continued to walk along the left.
"Just what are these rooms used for?"
The path on this side was much smaller than before, but it was still wide enough. However, on the walls on both sides, there were many small blood-red rooms. They were not covered at all, and from the outside, they could clearly see that there was nothing in the rooms.
"Who knows? Perhaps it's useful. No matter what appears in there, don't go in." Lord Hui was also observing, but he did not know what the rooms were used for. He did not find anything suspicious, but he still gave the order.
Even if he did not say anything, the others would not walk in out of curiosity. After all, this was the enemy's territory, and there definitely would not be anything good for them. Everyone looked around warily, wary of any sudden attacks.
"These things look quite weak, but they're surprisingly tough."
After passing through two intersections, Gai Jin, after receiving Lady Engraver's approval, launched a powerful attack at the wall on the side. However, the attack that could cause massive damage in the outside world only left a very deep hole on the wall. Copious amounts of blood continuously flowed out from the side, quickly filling up the hole.
"Then don't waste your energy. Perhaps the entire hall is a strange array. After all, the other party emerged from the depths and has a different system from ours." Lord Hui did not understand these structures, but he knew that it would take too much effort to break through them, and more importantly, it would take too much time.
Normally, they would not take the risk to enter, but now, time was very tight for them. They had no choice but to take the risk to eliminate the other party. Otherwise, the other party could retreat at any time, and it would be even more difficult to find them.
If they could catch one of the other party and pry some information out of him, perhaps the Heavenly King would treat them differently and allow them to obtain more quotas.
He came to help Gai Jin because he was a little selfish.
As they moved forward, the path became narrower. From a dozen people at the beginning to six people side by side, there was still plenty of space for them, and they were still an arm's length away from the edge.
When a member of the Dark Snow team was walking to the edge, he suddenly felt a blur in his peripheral vision, as if there was something different on the wall beside him. However, when he looked carefully, he found that there was nothing. Just as his tense mind relaxed, a bloody hand suddenly reached out from the depths of the wall beside him. It crossed the distance between them and reached into his protection, grabbing his shoulder.
The member immediately felt a chill run down his spine. In his mind, he saw himself being grabbed by thousands of arms. An irresistible force came from above, and his entire body was instantly pulled over.
"Help …"
He only had time to leave a short cry for help in the air. He did not even have time to shout out anything else before he was pulled into the wall.
Although the others were a little careless because of their previous safety, their reaction was extremely fast. A few people at the side immediately rushed up and took out their weapons, wanting to rescue the other party. At the same time, they cut off the side to prevent the other party from launching a new attack.
However, gaps appeared on the wall, but they could not find the person's figure. It was as if he had been pulled in, and his entire body melted inside.
"These attacks are launched without any warning or aura. Everyone, tighten the group and stay close to the center. At the same time, pay attention to your companions beside you." Master Hui looked around and frowned. This was the only arrangement he could make.
Even though they had been paying attention, the other party's speed was too fast. By the time they noticed, they had already been pulled in.
"How far is it?" Master Hui, who had returned to the front, asked his clansmen.
"We're very close. We'll probably walk through a few more passages. At most, it'll take half a cup of tea's time." His clansmen carefully sensed and said with certainty.
Their walking speed was very fast. It was not an ordinary stroll at all. If they did, they might not find their target even after half a day.
"Hurry up and rush over there." Gai Jin understood his intentions and immediately gave the order.
The group's speed increased again. At the same time, everyone's attention became more focused. No one was willing to die for no reason.
One of Gai Jin's clansmen, who was at the back, was also vigilant of his surroundings. However, just as he turned a corner, he suddenly discovered that his companion, who had been pulled in just now, had actually appeared in the room beside him. He was struggling in fear, and his body was tied up with blood-red ropes. His eyes were looking at him for help.
He was stunned. However, he knew that he had been instructed not to enter under any circumstances. Moreover, he guessed that it was very likely that the other party had deliberately lured him in. After all, he was the other party's friend.
However, he could only bear to ignore the other party's cry for help. He walked past him and treated it as if the other party had already sacrificed himself. If he reached out his hand rashly, he was afraid that he would also lose his life.
"Save me."
Just as he left the other party's position, the familiar voice of his friend sounded in his ears. He could not help but turn around to take a look. He was shocked because the other party had appeared behind him. His whole body was covered in blood, and his face was ferocious. He was looking at him with an angry gaze.
"Why didn't you save me?"
A loud shout came from the other party's mouth. Bloody hands instantly pressed down on his shoulders, causing him to feel a chill all over his body. He didn't even have the strength to resist. However, he didn't feel much fear in his heart because he believed that his companions would come to save him.
"If you don't save me, are you waiting for others to save you? Dream on! " His friend opened his mouth and directly tore open half his face. A large amount of blood poured out of his mouth, dripping onto his body. It made him even more terrified.
"Look, the other party has abandoned you, and they've also abandoned me. Come with me."
That clansman's body was forcibly turned around, and he saw the situation that made him despair. The group from before was still rapidly moving forward, as if they had not noticed that he had been kidnapped. That was because there was already a person who looked exactly like him in his position. He even saw that the person who had replaced him turn around to look at him, giving him a strange smile. Only then did he follow the group and leave this path.
"Come with me. I'll let you also feel my loneliness. Come accompany me."
Following his despair, he was dragged into a nearby room, and then he was also pulled into the blood wall.
Bang!
As the group stopped, a soft sound suddenly rang out from the back of the group. At the same time, a red mist rose from behind.
"What's going on?"
In the next instant, Gai Jin's figure appeared behind them. He looked at the blood mist and his frightened subordinate beside him.
"I saw that something was wrong with him just now and wanted to warn him, but as soon as I touched his body, it suddenly swelled up and exploded, turning into a red mist like this." His subordinate still had a frightened look on his face as he swallowed a dry breath and said.
What he was afraid of was not the blood mist, but that he had not noticed when the other party had been switched. If the other party had been the target, he was afraid that his end would be no different from his subordinate's.
"Don't mind it. This is the other party's show of strength. They've already arrived in front of us. They wanted to rely on this strange method to scare us away. Their calculations were wrong." Lady Hui also came to the back and saw this scene. She comforted him.
"Yes, I'll definitely let them taste this kind of torture. I want to see what the other party is so arrogant about," said Gai Jin gloomily.
She knew that their journey here would not be peaceful. Originally, they had planned to lose even more people, but they had only lost two people. It was more like the other party had deliberately told them that they had the ability to cause harm, and then let them in.
