Ding-dong!
The sound of dripping water echoed in the underground space; under normal circumstances, such a sound would not attract any attention…
But this is inside a volcano, so where did the water come from?
Tuoba San looked in the direction of the sound, and soon a peculiar plant came into view...
As the blood in the pool rises and falls, a small stone can be seen in the middle of the pool…
If you look closely, you'll find that this stone is actually a single piece of Bloodburst Stone...
Such a treasure still exists, and such a large piece at that…
The exposed portion alone is larger than the dozen or so pieces that were ejected combined. This doesn't even take into account the depth of the blood pool. If the entire area below is filled with exploding blood stones, then the value of this exploding blood stone would be immeasurable…
On the tiny patch of land, barely the size of a palm, where the Blood Pool was exposed by the Blood Stone, a blade of grass was growing...
Most importantly, a fruit grew in the middle of the grass. The fruit was about the size of a mangosteen, but it was crystal clear on the outside, and you could see blood flowing inside, just like a beating heart.
Tuoba San's gaze froze. If it were just a simple Blood Explosion Stone, it wouldn't hold much appeal for him, and besides, he didn't know how to use it...
But this fruit is different; it's a Bloodline Fruit, a supreme treasure capable of elevating a person's bloodline to its peak…
No matter how confident Tuoba San was in his bloodline, he couldn't ignore the effects of the Bloodline Fruit. With good luck, it was even possible that he might develop bloodline supernatural powers...
This ability is something the Bloodstone lacks; the two are simply not on the same level...
Suddenly, Tuoba San felt a chill run down his spine, as if danger was approaching...
His strength has reached a level where his perception of danger is extremely acute…
Without any hesitation, he quickly retreated. At the same time, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of the blood pool, heading straight for the spot where Tuoba San had just been standing…
If he hadn't been alert just now, he would probably have been shoved into the blood pool by now. No one knew better than him how potent the toxins in the blood pool were...
He had personally witnessed how horribly those Saint-level beings died; merely the overflowing poison was enough to obliterate their remains...
What is that?
How powerful must a creature be to move freely in such a highly toxic pool of blood?
Tuoba San swallowed hard. The dark figure had only flashed by so quickly that he hadn't seen it clearly...
But he could roughly make out that it looked like a snake. At this moment, his vigilance was heightened to the extreme, and his eyes began to search for the location of the creature in the blood pool...
The blood pool was calm, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion…
This put Tuoba San on the edge of his seat. As time passed, the puppet lost contact with everyone, and nothing was left but ashes corroded by the blood pool…
Perhaps sensing that Tuoba San was not easy to deal with, the ferocious beasts in the blood pool did not reappear...
This won't do. If the red-robed expert returns, he won't even have a chance to escape...
Tuoba San's gaze fell on the Bloodline Fruit. The ferocious beasts in the blood pool were definitely there to protect the Bloodline Fruit. Since you won't show yourself, then I'll force you out...
So the next moment, Tuoba San rushed straight for the Bloodline Fruit. This was an open strategy; if the ferocious beast appeared, he would deal with it first; if it didn't appear, even better, he could take the Bloodline Fruit directly...
Bang…
A dark shadow shot out from the blood pool, heading straight for Tuoba San…
Only then did Tuoba San see the shadowy figure clearly. It resembled a snake, but had a mouthful of teeth and a rooster-like comb on its head…
It looked out of place, but its scarlet eyes revealed endless bloodlust and brutality…
The longsword in his hand shot out, heading straight for the beast's head...
Bang…
A clang rang out, the ferocious beast was repelled, and the longsword returned to Tuoba San's hand...
What is that? Tuoba San couldn't help but think to himself, it looks like a parasite, so disgusting...
Tuoba San continued to approach the Bloodline Fruit, and at that moment, several whooshing sounds came directly from the blood pool…
Bang bang bang…
Tuoba San then realized that there was actually more than one serpentine beast. Even a single one was already quite formidable, and with so many gathered together, it was simply impossible to defeat them…
No wonder the red-robed expert dared to leave this place, abandoning his cave dwelling here...
If it weren't for the arrival of top-tier experts, this cave would be the safest place. Aside from the poison, the serpentine beasts in the blood pool would be enough to repel any external enemies…
In a special environment like the Blood Pool, it's difficult for intruders to unleash their full power, but the ferocious beasts, as the resident inhabitants, can exert tremendous strength...
However, after experiencing the speed and power of the ferocious beasts, he was no longer as nervous as before. The unknown is what's terrifying. Now that he knew what they were, all he needed to do was lure them out and kill them...
Tuoba San continued to approach the Bloodline Fruit, and the blood pool immediately began to churn, as if it had been boiled in an instant…
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't the blood pool that was boiling; it turned out that countless ferocious serpentine beasts lived within it…
Bang bang bang…
Just as Tuoba San was about to touch the Bloodline Fruit, the ferocious beasts launched their attack...
Faced with such a ferocious attack, Tuoba San was also shaken to his core. This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. If he had known there were so many ferocious beasts, he would have brought Xuan Shan in as a shield...
Now he has to defend and attack simultaneously, which immediately puts him in a dangerous situation...
Fortunately, Tuoba San had just switched to a Saint-level longsword, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to unleash much of his attack power...
An aura of dominance emanated from him, and his powerful fighting spirit made Tuoba San fight with increasing ferocity. The ferocious beasts even felt suppressed, as if this was Tuoba San's home ground...
However, his attacks were not enough to kill the beast instantly, which gave the wounded beast a chance to return to the blood pool and recover...
This made it seem as if the ferocious beasts facing Tuoba San were endless…
The battle lasted for a full half hour. While his side was locked in fierce combat, the battle between the Crimson Blood Slave and the Netherfire was also at its most intense, with neither side able to gain the upper hand...
Moreover, Mingchi has already begun to fall into a disadvantageous position. The reason he hasn't been completely defeated yet is because the red-robed blood slave is wary of the sealing stone in Mingchi's possession...
But after fighting for so long, Mingchi hasn't used the Sealing Stone, which means the Sealing Stone might no longer be with him...
"Mingchi, where is the sealing stone?"
The red-robed blood slave's hoarse voice rang out, his scarlet eyes fixed on Mingchi...
"Hmph! Forget about taking the Sealing Stone. I will not hand it over to you..."
Mingchi did not directly answer the red-robed blood slave's question, but instead refused to hand over the sealing stone to him...
Suddenly, the red-robed blood slave seemed to sense something and looked towards the location of his cave…
There he sensed the aura of the sealing stone, and just as he was about to leave, Ming Chi deliberately clung to him, preventing him from leaving easily…
