However, our mood grew even heavier. What exactly was that 'blind old man' who was with us? It was truly unbelievable that the three of us hadn't noticed him. Was he too powerful, or were we just careless? As the saying goes, the devil is always one step ahead of the saint. It's not surprising that there are terrifying beings in a place like this.
After discussing it, we came up with a plan: to use a code. The code would be that the old blind man had just been slapped a few times.
After making the decision, we set off. The mountains of corpses ahead became increasingly numerous, but fortunately nothing unusual happened. When we reached the ninth mountain of corpses, we saw a light ahead and heard terrified screams. We slowly groped our way up and saw a person crouching beside the mountain of corpses.
Since he was facing away from us, we weren't sure for a moment whether he was one of the three people.
A flashlight lay beside him, and his backpack lay on the ground. It looked as if a fight had taken place. When we got closer and saw what had happened, a chill ran down our spines.
Bloodstains were everywhere on the ground, and pieces of the body were scattered all over the place. The person had their back to us and seemed to be gnawing on something, making chewing sounds.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat. Without even looking, he could tell that this person was eating a corpse.
We mustered our courage and went up to him. We shone our headlamps on him, and slowly he turned around. We all held our breath.
"Hehe," he turned his head, and we could see clearly that he was one of the three people from before, but he was no longer human. His mouth was full of blood as he chewed on human flesh, holding another person's arm in his hand and eating it with relish.
A sinister smile appeared on his face, and his eyes flashed with venomous light.
"Hehe," the 'person' chuckled again, then stood up, turned, and disappeared into the darkness.
My heart was pounding, and my breathing became rapid. I asked, "What is this?"
Xiang Fei and the old blind man also looked quite grim. "This must be possessed by an evil spirit. It's a human body, but the ghost has taken over. Right now, it's like an evil spirit, even more terrifying than a real one, because it can think like a human and will attack us directly."
"If we encounter him again, we must eliminate him immediately, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to us."
As they were talking, another strange thing happened. From the nine mountains of corpses in front of them, a strange sound came out, as if something was about to crawl out from them.
We immediately tensed up and stared intently at the mountain of corpses.
Crimson blood flowed out and quickly spread. We retreated hastily, but the malevolent aura on the mountain of corpses grew even stronger, as if a peerless demon was about to be born.
It moved! The black coffin on top moved, and what's inside is about to come out. None of us know what's buried inside, but we know that this black coffin is the most mysterious place, and it may be related to the Shu Immortals.
At this moment, the other eight mountains of corpses also moved, and crimson blood flowed out, pooling together and flowing into the blood river beside them.
Seventy-one Yin-Yang Fish
The malevolent energy surged forth, filling the sky. Blood churned in the river of blood, and corpses floated up and down. Countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts struggled within, like a hell where these wronged souls and vengeful ghosts were imprisoned and tormented.
We retreated, not knowing what would happen next. If these corpses also 'come back to life,' we'd be in big trouble.
"Look there!" Xiang Fei shone his headlamp into the river of blood. We looked over and saw a coffin that had appeared in the river of blood, a coffin stained red with blood.
The coffin was carved with images of demons. With a clang, it started moving on its own and flowed down the river of blood. We exchanged glances, knowing that there must be a shocking secret behind it, and quickly followed, going down the river of blood.
After walking for a few minutes, we saw a circular pool of blood in front of us, about the size of a basketball court. To our surprise, there was a huge stone coffin inside. The stone coffin, which was not stained red by the blood, just floated on the blood. Around it, there were other blood coffins, forming a circle that surrounded the stone coffin.
We stared wide-eyed; it was simply unbelievable. We began to observe the pool of blood.
A moment later, I was shocked and exclaimed, "Isn't this the Yin-Yang Blood Pool mentioned in ancient books?"
After I explained it to them, Xiang Fei and the others suddenly realized what I meant and were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
The Yin-Yang Blood Pool is an extremely ancient sacrificial method. Legend has it that it appeared in the early days of ancient human civilization and was one of the most vicious evil practices at that time. Some say it was created by Chi You, but it disappeared quickly because it was too vicious and aroused the wrath of the gods. It only exists in legends in later generations.
The so-called Yin-Yang Blood Pool is a place where the blood of millions of people is used to refine one's own body, thereby reaching an incredible state. The souls of these people are trapped inside and can never be freed. It is truly extremely vicious.
If you look closely, you will find a yin-yang symbol faintly visible in the pool, and the stone coffin is located at the center of the yin-yang symbol.
"How vicious! I never imagined that in order to achieve immortality, they would be willing to sacrifice the lives of millions. It is truly the height of evil."
"Well, it's outrageous. Since we've run into them today, let's break it. Although we can't save their lives, we can at least let them go free. It's a good deed we've done," I said calmly.
