Chapter 731: Bartonora Demons

Yu Cang's emotions have been quite conflicting these past few days.

The increasingly strong sense of crisis and the happiness that was within reach made him feel so torn, that he even developed some escapist mentality.

Fortunately, Yu Cang was not a confused person, so after Yu Shuhong said this, he made up his mind.

Tomorrow, it's time to set off.

…

at the same time

Haiting

As the name suggests, this is a country built in the deep sea.

However, the people living there are not races like the merfolk, but just ordinary humans.

The reason for this is because of the existence of the mythical secret realm "Tianpu Yuanliu".

Unimaginably large ocean currents converge beneath the surface of the sea to form whirlpools that stretch across the entire continental shelf, creating a waterless cavity in the deep sea.

For some unknown reason, this waterfall is quite friendly to humans. Anyone who accidentally gets caught in it will mostly be safely spit out after drifting for a few days. At most, they will suffer a little dehydration, but generally their life will not be in danger.

However, for wild beasts, the abyss of the sky waterfall will reveal a terrible danger that matches its mythical level... Anyone who dares to set foot in the range of the abyss will immediately be torn into a bloody mist by the violent and unpredictable ocean current, and then melt into the sea.

Therefore, this waterfall can be regarded as a natural protective barrier. Over time, a country was established in this cavity, and its name was: Haiting.

The Heavenly Waterfall and Deep Flow is the Great Wall of Haiting. Because of its unique beauty, the people of Haiting worship it as the "God of the Sea".

However, there is no land beneath the abyss, but a river in the sea.

A crisscrossing system of rivers divides the seabed, and within this, a series of underwater mountain ranges rise and fall, forming forty-five inner islands. These range in size, from the smallest being the size of a small town to the largest, perhaps even worthy of being called a country.

In the beginning, there were actually fifty-two islands, but a few hundred years ago, a mythical man used the power of a divine artifact to forcibly lift seven of the islands from the waterfall into the sky, establishing the powerful country "Tiandao".

The area of ​​each of the seven islands cannot be underestimated, and they are considered large among the Haiting Islands.

It is said... that it is because they are worried that the waterfall will eventually dissipate and destroy everything below it?

Obviously, such remarks were a blatant blasphemy against the Sea God to the people of Haiting, so Haiting and Tiandao were quite at odds with each other.

Even the indigenous people of the seven islands rioted because of this, but they were all suppressed by the myth and his followers with great power. It was unknown how many people were killed before the riots were quelled.

However, now that hundreds of years have passed, those "hatreds" have long faded with the passage of time. After all... these two countries are famous for only caring about their own interests.

…

at this time

On an inner island of Kaiting, an inhumane tragedy is happening.

This is a manor that looks quite old. The exterior walls are covered with ivy, making it look dignified and elegant.

It was evening now, but there were few lights on in the manor. It was completely silent. Only a few gardeners were pruning the plants in the manor, but looking at their expressions... each one was more numb than the other.

squeak--

The carriage stopped at the gate of the manor, and then a well-dressed middle-aged man got off the carriage.

This carriage was not like the golden carriage in the Changsheng Tent, which used war horses that were not seriously infected to pull it.

Instead, a coachman summons a special beast to pull the cart.

The production of this kind of summoned beast soul card is quite complicated, but the complexity is not reflected in the strength, but all in the aesthetics, ensuring that each horse is extremely majestic and the aristocratic aura can be seen at a glance.

After the middle-aged man got off the car, the driver did not put away the soul card, but stood upright there, quietly waiting for his master to return.

The middle-aged man straightened his clothes, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, took a deep breath, and then seemed to make up his mind and stepped into the manor.

Step, step...

Louis walked in the manor. Although this was his own manor, it did not affect the nervousness and uneasiness in his heart at all.

The gardeners did not react to the arrival of their "master" and continued to prune the plants numbly.

However, Louis wasn't angry. He knew full well what a terrifying being was within the castle... These gardeners, exposed to that being day and night, were probably already as good as dead...

The castle in front of him was getting closer and closer, and every dark window seemed like a bottomless abyss, as if swallowing Louis's sanity.

Walking all the way to the castle gate, Louis took a deep breath - he knew that this was the only breath of normal air he would be able to breathe from now on.

Then he pushed open the door.

Pa——ji——

The door rubbed against the ground, making a series of sticky sounds, and at the same time, a strong smell of blood suddenly rushed out!

Even though Louis was used to killing people for fun, he couldn't help but dry heave when he smelled such a strong smell and almost vomited on the spot.

He did not dare to hesitate and hurried into the castle and closed the door immediately.

There was a sticky feeling under my feet - the entire hall floor was covered with coagulated blood.

Louis turned his head, trying to keep his expression calm.

What I see before my eyes is a scene of hell.

The entire castle hall had turned blood red, with a thick layer of dark red on the floor, and all the furniture was also covered in scarlet, without exception.

In the high stairwell at the front of the hall, a candle burned faintly - this was the only light in the entire scene.

In the thick layer of scarlet on the floor, broken arms and limbs were occasionally stuck in it, and now they were also covered in blood, turning into solidified blood-colored sculptures.

The floor in front of the door was where the blood was thinnest.

Louis didn't dare to take another step forward, so he stopped and bowed slightly.

"Master, your servant is here..."

After the words were spoken, the castle fell into silence and no sound was heard.

Louis did not dare to overstep his bounds and just maintained this posture.

His "master" is the legendary "familiar"!

That is the source of the Evanson family's power. It is precisely because of the familiars that the Evanson family has been able to dominate the dark side of several inner islands for hundreds of years and become the uncrowned king.

Later, the Evanson family was wiped out, and their familiars were divided among several families...but he didn't expect that he would actually meet another one, and...it seemed completely different from those familiars summoned by banned cards. The one in front of him was a complete familiar that could exist in the world forever!

At first, he thought this was his chance, but after actual contact, he found that this familiar was too difficult to serve.

This guy loves the smell of blood. He filled the castle I gave him with the energy of blood... and the familiar also cast a barrier himself to lock in all the bloody smell. It is said that a special "magic fungus" was added to make the smell of blood more "mellow" after fermentation.

Gou Shi! It's obviously even more disgusting!

He usually likes the smell of blood, but now he doesn't want to stay in this castle for a moment longer!

He even has to sleep on a "blood bed"... That's right, the whole hall is covered with thick blood-red. Everything in front of him is the bed of the familiar!

It's so uncomfortable.

I also need to send him fresh life every once in a while so that he can drain his blood...

Although he thought so in his heart, Louis did not dare to show it at all.

After all, he wanted to control this "banned card" but failed, and was in turn put under a strange contract, becoming the opponent's servant... This is too stupid, and it would be laughed to death in the circle of card banners.

suddenly--

laugh……

A pair of slender, dark feet landed in the center of the "blood bed".

The coagulated blood did not collapse under his step, and the surface remained flat. The familiar stood on the surface of the blood bed as if it was not affected by gravity.

This was one of the reasons why Louis didn't dare to move forward... If he stepped on the blood bed that the familiar had worked so hard to make smooth, who knew how furious he would be.

But at this moment, he could only bury his head deeply and said, "Master, are you looking for a little slave? Is it because you don't have enough blood animals..."

"Send some more."

The demon's voice was cold and indifferent.

He looked down at the man in front of him.

"And—my people have already locked onto the Blue Star. Do you—know how to get in from the Star Realm?"

Elega's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little annoyed in his heart.

He thought that as long as he sent clear coordinates, his tribesmen would arrive soon to help him completely conquer this world, use the flesh and blood here to breed new life for their Bartonora demon clan, and steal the power of the Imperial Star.

Who knew that this world would be so strange and weird.

His people can't get in!

It's not that they can't get in at all... but they have to rely on the Soul Card. But this is meaningless. After all, they want to steal the power of the Emperor Star. How can a summoned beast achieve this?

His people had arrived near Blue Star a few days ago, but they discovered that the entire Blue Star was surrounded by a "cemetery", and now the cemetery was ruled by a terrifying existence...

Even if the Bartonola demons came together, they might not be able to defeat that existence alone, not to mention that the cemetery was full of wild beasts. They would probably be infected before they even passed through it.

In the past few days, they have tried many ways, but none of them worked... Helplessly, he could only ask for help from the natives.

He really didn't want to seek help from this inferior-civilized monkey!

Moreover, in his opinion, the native might not know this method.

However, to his surprise, Louis thought for a moment and actually said:

"Master... I don't know how to enter Blue Star from the outside world, but... I do know a way to enter the Star Realm from Blue Star."

"Oh?" Elega's expression changed slightly. "Go ahead."

"The remains of a deceased god, the world's duel arena!" Louis said, "That is the body of a god... No one knows its origin, but in his arms, he holds a passage to the astral realm.

"That passage opens once every four years, and the remaining will of the gods awakens every four years. At that time, all young soul card masters below level six on Blue Star will be invited to participate in the soul card competition. The winning country will be qualified to travel through the passage to the astral realm for enlightenment."

Hearing this, Elega's eyes lit up.

Is there such a thing?

Since it is a passage, if you can go out, you can come in. This may be an opportunity.

"take me."

"Um... Master." Louis lowered his head even lower. "It's not time for the arena to open yet..."

"Are you looking down on me?" Elega's pupils suddenly contracted. "A so-called 'god' is nothing but a corpse. What can I do if I force my way in?"

Louis quickly defended himself: "I don't dare, I don't dare... It's just that there have been soul card masters in the mythical realm who have tried to force a breakthrough before, but even if several mythical masters joined forces, they couldn't force the passage open... That god might have some strange tricks up his sleeve. We can't force our way in... If we anger that god, we will completely lose our qualification!"

Elega narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even if several myths join forces, they still can’t break through?

This is indeed a bit weird.

Haha... It's worthy of being the place where the emperor fell, but it's a bit weird.

"Well, when will the World Duel Arena open next time?"

“In the second half of this year!”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Elega's face.

It seems that it is right before my eyes - well, I can take advantage of this time to study this so-called deceased god's remains.

"I see—go back and send more blood animals."

"yes."

"Go down."

The castle gate opened a crack by itself, and Louis breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed deeply, and then backed away from the castle.

The door closed again.

The flickering candlelight couldn't illuminate the entire hall, so most of the space was in darkness. Elaiga opened his arms and took a deep breath.

ah……

As expected, the blood of intelligent creatures is more refreshing...

Once upon a time, when the nameless empire was still strong and had not lost the favor of fate, his people had to submit to the pressure of the empire.

The Star Armory is truly too terrifying. As the ultimate form of war weapon, just one of them is enough to accomplish the feat of annihilating an entire clan!

Hundreds of millions of years have passed since this technology was created. God knows how many star armories the Nameless Empire has accumulated.

They are bloodthirsty by nature, and everything in their lives cannot be separated from blood. However, they have to make changes under the tyrannical demands of the Nameless Empire... They have to raise livestock allowed by the empire to provide blood.

This is also the origin of the term "blood beast"... Before they entered the astral realm, they only used the blood of intelligent creatures!

I thought that after entering the star realm, I would be able to taste the blood of more races. However, before I had even spent a few years, I was beaten up by the Nameless Empire and had to naturalize.

Now, everything is back!

What a delicious taste of wisdom!

This time, without that annoying Star Armory, they could finally let go and drink blood to their heart's content... He couldn't wait to see the scene of turning the entire Blue Planet into a blood nursery!

"For... Bartonola..."

as well as--

Elega's expression was solemn for a moment.

He still vividly remembers the wounds left on him by the old man named Yin Yang... He must make that guy pay the price!
