Chapter 257: Scarlet Corruption? Infiltration of the Dark Plane

In an instant, a silver figure drew a streak of light under the dark red sky.

Wang Feng stood firmly on the giant wolf's back, his mental power spreading around the three of them like ripples, isolating all the scarlet fluorescence falling from the treetops.

The whole jungle was eerily silent.

There were no birds singing, no insects buzzing, even the sound of the wind disappeared.

Only the scaly-covered tree trunks occasionally made strange "cracking" sounds, as if some creature was chewing bones.

This was completely different from the Dragon Valley in Wang Feng's memory - back then, he could encounter playful baby dragons every ten or so meters, and the roars of dragon beasts would always echo in the valley.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, almost solidifying into substance.

The color of the ground gradually deepened, from withered yellow to dark red, and finally it looked like it was soaked in blood.

Some fern-like plants grew on this blood-red soil. The edges of their leaves were covered with fine fangs that opened and closed from time to time.

What was even more bizarre was the vines. Dark red blood was gushing out from the broken ends, and there were muscle-like fibers twitching inside the vines.

"This looks like a living thing." Lingling suppressed her nausea and carefully placed the sample into a special container.

Recording various data.

When the three of them climbed over the last ridge, the scene before them froze them all in place.

The entire valley turned into a huge furnace of flesh and blood.

Thousands of dragon beast skeletons were soaked in a pool of boiling blood, and some skeletons were still twitching strangely.

Large chunks of rotten meat floated on the surface of the pool, and bubbles burst from time to time, spewing out dark red mist.

"What the hell is this?"

Her big eyes, which always sparkled with wisdom, were now filled with horror, reflecting the surging pool of blood.

Apas was surprisingly calm: "It doesn't look like it was formed naturally. It looks more like some kind of sacrificial ritual."

"Sacrifice?" Wang Feng frowned deeply.

Just as he was about to investigate further, the entire blood pool suddenly boiled violently!

Crash——

With a deafening roar, a deformed monster broke out of the pool.

Its body is made up of the skeletons of dozens of different dragon beasts, with disgusting tumors wriggling in its joints and sharp bone spurs growing on its spine.

The most terrifying thing is its head - the skulls of three different dragon species were forcibly fused together, and scarlet flames were dancing in the six empty eye sockets.

Ouch!!!

The pressure of the great monarch level swept over like a tsunami. Apas groaned and her petite body involuntarily hid behind Wang Feng.

Even Setsuna tensed all his muscles, with his silver hair standing on end.

Wang Feng just sneered: "Playing tricks."

He raised his right hand casually, and a chaotic light condensed at the tip of his index finger.

The light seemed weak, but it caused the surrounding space to begin to distort.

Bang!

With a soft sound, a chaotic beam pierced the void. The Blood Pool Dragon Beast didn't even have time to react before its three heads exploded simultaneously.

The huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the blood waves splashed up to a hundred meters high, dyeing the entire sky blood-red.

Apas suddenly shuddered, her pupils constricting violently. "It's the Scarlet Corruption! I've seen it recorded in the ancient books of the Evil Temple!"

(Okay, the author admits that I have played Terraria too much...)

Wang Feng and Lingling turned to look at her at the same time.

"The Crimson Corruption originates from the Dark Plane," Apas' voice was more solemn than ever before. "It is a force that can erode reality. The Dark Plane uses it to devour other planes."

She pointed to the faintly visible blood-red lines in the distance. "It appeared once in ancient Egypt, when black magic was prevalent. But the scale back then..." Apas swallowed, "wasn't even one-tenth of what's here."

"On that occasion, the Ramses almost exhausted all their savings before they could suppress the rebellion."

"And now, the entire Dragon Valley."

"More than one." Apas's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Then how do we solve it?" Wang Feng asked directly.

Although the intelligence he had obtained was enough to report back, since this mission concerned Irene, he decided to help if he could.

Apasi pointed solemnly at the churning pools of blood: "We must destroy all the scarlet corruption altars and find the scarlet messengers lurking in the Dragon Valley. But looking at the current situation..."

She looked around at the dark red sky. "The entire Dragon Valley is almost completely transformed."

"That's it?" Wang Feng sneered, "Isn't it just killing them all? That's easy."

Destruction is always easier than construction.

Since all he had to do was eliminate the intruders, it was a piece of cake for him.

Apas wanted to say something but stopped herself, but when she thought of the scene where Wang Feng destroyed the Egyptian underworld with one sword and killed the god of the underworld, Khufu, she closed her mouth silently.

No matter how terrifying the Scarlet Corruption is, can it be scarier than this monster?

"Can you sense the location of other altars?" Wang Feng asked with a frown.

Apas shook her head: "This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes too."

"What use is there for you?"

Wang Feng snorted lightly, and his figure flashed and stood in the air.

He released his mental power with all his might, and mental fluctuations as vast as the sea swept out in an instant.

As an independent space, Dragon Nest is more vast than you can imagine.

Even a magic god like Wang Feng who is all-powerful in twenty areas can only cover half of the area with his mental power.

"Twelve" Wang Feng narrowed his eyes.

Within his range of perception, there were twelve blood pool altars of the same size in operation.

Based on this calculation, there are probably no less than twenty scarlet altars in the entire Dragon Valley.

"Shana, Apas, you two protect Lingling well." Wang Feng said as he was about to leave.

Lingling frowned immediately: "Her? Why would she protect me?"

Apas raised her chin proudly, her eyes shone with a strange golden-pink light, and her pupils gradually turned into dangerous vertical pupils:

"Little girl, show some respect! I am the third daughter of the Serpent Scorpion Empire, a noble—"

"Oh, it turned out to be a little snake." Lingling curled her lips, looking very clear. "No wonder my Mimi was so scared that she was shaking."

Apas was immediately furious: "You!"

Wang Feng shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to the quarrel between the two enemies, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

…

Wang Feng's figure kept flashing among the various scarlet altars.

Beside each blood pool sits a ferocious, patchwork dragon beast, emitting the might of a monarch.

However, these monsters were no match for Wang Feng.

A silver light flashed, and the dragon beast turned into minced meat before it even had time to roar.

In just half an hour, the twelve scarlet altars collapsed one after another.

During the destruction process, Wang Feng discovered the terrifying characteristics of Scarlet Corruption——

These altars were not built by humans.

Whenever the scarlet aura invades the dragon beast, the victim will uncontrollably walk towards the blood pool and actively merge into it.

He personally witnessed a servant-level bird dragon suddenly twitch while fleeing, then, like a puppet, walked straight towards the nearest pool of blood.

"This problem must be resolved here and completely." Wang Feng's eyes were as sharp as a knife.

If this pollution is allowed to spread to the human world

He couldn't imagine what kind of hell on earth would happen!
