Chapter 92: The Mountain Road, Crimson Threads

  "Good fellow, indeed worthy of being one of the top three candidates in the Sea Cloud Pavilion's preliminary selection! This kind of profound technique, I couldn't even take a single move, and would have been defeated on the spot!"

  "Those monsters may not be very powerful, but in this eerie place, you never know what kind of killer move they might have," someone said, still sounding pessimistic. "Let's take another look."

  The result was beyond expectations.

  The monster in the middle was turned into blurry flesh fragments scattered all over the ground, without even a scream, under Xu Yang's sword energy storm.

  The monster on the left was pierced through the brain by Yu Xuanyu, and the majestic Thunder Extreme Xuan force burst out, exploding into a bloody mist that filled the sky.

  The monster on the right also failed to escape Li Wang's Wind Blade and was cut into a skeleton amidst its mournful cries.

  The entire arena was silent. Even Xu Yang and his three companions did not expect these monsters to be so weak, giving them a feeling of using an ox knife to kill a chicken.

  "After beheading those monsters, it seems that there is some crimson aura drifting over." Li Wang pointed at some thin red threads, saying in a low voice.

  "What are these blood threads for?" Yu Xuan raised her hand and a strong gust of wind blew, trying to blow away the blood threads.

  But it was of no use, and the bloodstains stubbornly stuck to each of the three people, one strip per person.

  "It seems like there's nothing unusual... Let's keep moving forward." Xǔ Yáng took the lead and walked ahead.

  The remaining monsters did not continue to wake up and chase, Xu Yang and others walked all the way to the end of the square, stepped on the stone steps after the intricately carved gatehouse, without any abnormalities.

  "There's no danger, let's go past too!" someone said.

  The remaining people looked at me, I looked at them, and finally, the young master of the Ge family, under the leadership of Ge Wei Feng, stepped onto the square.

  There were four Ge family juniors, and at the moment they stepped onto the square, the four strange creatures on the square woke up again, still with a thousand strange appearances, stumbling towards Ge Wei Feng and others.

  "I understand, these weak monsters are like trials. As long as I kill them, I can easily pass the test and obtain the legacy of the ancient sages! The number of people who step onto the square each time determines the number of monsters that wake up."

  Ge Wei Feng's mind turned quickly and he immediately took out his crystal sword, pouncing on one of the monsters.

  Ge Wei Feng's strength was not weak, and he summoned a giant ice blade, cutting one of the monsters in half with a single slash.

  The other three Geyan brothers also eliminated the monster after some effort.

  After killing the monster, red threads also come to entwine, no matter how you dodge, you can't get rid of them, and finally you can only be tied up by the blood threads.

  "What are you all still stunned about?" Yu Xuanwu shouted at the young men who were still on the White Bone Path, including several guards. "These monsters look intimidating, but in reality they have low strength, equivalent to only the initial or middle stage of a Xuanzhe, and are stupid and harmless, with no danger at all."

  The rest of the people rushed forward one after another, each killing a monster. After being wrapped in bloodlines, they walked calmly towards the towering gatehouse.

  At this time, Xu Yang and the other three pioneers had already arrived at the halfway point up the mountain.

  "It's strange," said Li Wang, "if the danger level of the secret realm is only this much, then Li Yue and others should not have encountered any danger, but now they haven't been found anywhere."

  "I don't know why, but I always feel a chill in my heart," said Yu Xuan Yu, rarely expressing his unease, "as if we're being stared at by a man-eating beast."

  "Look over there, there is a loft and several houses," Xǔ Yáng pointed to the front left, where the terrain was flat. "Let's go inside the house and take a look, maybe we'll find some clues."

  The three of them went together.

  In front of several houses is a wide open space about one hundred square zhang in size, paved with dark rocks.

  "What kind of rock is this?" Li Wang curiously squatted down and examined the texture of the rock.

  Suddenly, the house on the far left opened, and several strange beasts walked silently into the black stone-paved arena.

  "These monsters seem similar to those we killed at the foot of the mountain," said Xǔ Yáng.

  The highest and largest house in the middle, with open doors.

  A blood-curdling roar shook the sky! Xu Yang and others looked at each other in shock, the terror contained in this beast's howl was extremely frightening!

  Right after that, a tall and strange beast suddenly jumped out from the middle house and landed with a loud thud. People like Xu Yang who were dozens of meters away could feel the earth shaking.

  This strange beast was vastly different from the weak monster that Xuyang and others had killed. Its body was muscular and strong, similar to a human's, but it had two curved horns on its forehead, and its arms, knees, and chest were covered in bony armor. It stood over ten feet tall, with a pair of crimson eyes.

  "This strange beast is very powerful," Xǔ Yáng said, "Comparable to a top-notch expert of the Mystic Realm."

  After the mighty alien beast arrived, it faced several weak alien beasts that had appeared at first and they retreated backward in fear.

  A powerful humanoid beast, with a forceful kick of its double feet, shoots towards several weak beasts, claws flying everywhere, blood raining down from the sky.

  Xu Yang noticed that after several weak heterobeast died, each had a thin blood-red thread floating and drifting towards the powerful heterobeast.

  The mighty alien beast let out a roar, seemingly filled with endless joy. It opened its massive mouth and sucked in the several blood-red threads into its abdomen with great force.

  A series of loud explosions, the powerful beast's body grew even larger, and the bony armor on its body became more radiant and resilient. Its aura was stronger than before it killed.

  "It seems... those red lines have a great effect on this strange beast, can promote their... evolution?" Xu Yang looked at his own body, a red line wrapped around it.

  "Hurry up!"

  Lui's face suddenly changed as he crouched on the ground, and he stood up abruptly: "This rock was not originally black! As for those black things... they are all blood! Dry blood!"

  Xu Yang's face changed color, and the two of them simultaneously exerted force and ran.

  Yu Xuan Yu was somewhat puzzled and followed up, running alongside and saying: "Why are we running? That strange beast may not be weak, but it's still no match for the three of us working together, right?"

  "If I'm not mistaken, that should be an arena for beast fighting! The weak and feeble alien beasts we encountered at the foot of the mountain are just food, fertilizer! The truly powerful alien beasts feed on these weak ones to strengthen themselves!" Lei Wang said.

  "It's not worth running away from, just kill whatever beast it is." Yuexuan Yu said nonchalantly.

  Xu Yang let out a bitter laugh: "Your Highness, do you think there's only one powerful beast in this place? With such a large arena... the number of powerful beasts is absolutely over ten! And look at us!"

  Xu Yang pointed at the red lines on the three people's bodies and continued, "With these crimson threads on our bodies, it means we've also become food for the ferocious alien beasts!"

  Yu Xuan Yu was about to speak when they suddenly heard a beast roar from below, at the original mountain waist position. At the same time, familiar roars came from four or five other positions on the mountain peak, with some positions even having groups of beasts roaring together, shaking the sky and earth!
