Xinghe no longer held back his strength; the spatial barrier with a radius of fifty meters had already been opened, isolating the monster's sounds.
By the time they realized something was wrong, Gu Mingyue and the other three had already attacked simultaneously.
Gu Mingyue and Xinghe had monster-like black skin and spatial shields, while Zhang Yun and her husband had water membranes with early-stage level four superpowers. Together, they managed to defeat these early-stage level five blue fire skeletons.
Since most of the credit went to Gu Mingyue and her husband, Zhang Yun and her husband didn't compete with them for the crystal cores and obediently continued their journey downwards.
When they reached the last floor, Gu Mingyue and the others encountered two dim-witted skeleton knights.
They were placed directly into the underground palace.
Perhaps they didn't hear their companions' cries for help upstairs, or perhaps they didn't believe that any human could escape being crushed, so they spontaneously ventured here.
The two skulls circled Gu Mingyue and Xinghe twice: "I had heard from our kind above that the monsters in the red lava are different from us, some of them don't have flames surrounding them. I didn't expect it to be true."
Two long, slender, warm skeletal fingers poked Xinghe's firm, dark skin, then laughed: "Haha, you guys don't have any fire at all, yet you still managed to catch a live 'food,' how lucky you are."
"It just so happens that the monster is getting married today and needs two buckets of human blood for a bath, otherwise the creatures above wouldn't be able to let you down."
Two skeleton knights excitedly directed Gu Mingyue and her companion through layers of cubicles to a pool of blood.
They encountered many skeleton knights engulfed in blue flames. Zhang Yun and her husband were already pale with fright, truly appearing afraid of death, making their act even more convincing.
Gu Mingyue and Xinghe remained remarkably calm, not breaking a sweat despite being surrounded by dozens of blue fire skeleton monsters, their demeanor natural and relaxed.
As Gu Mingyue walked, she kept thinking about the map Fang Kai had just handed her.
She didn't really trust the map, after all, there had been instances in the previous Gold-type Black Domain where human traitors had tricked their own kind into being fed to the Lord of the Black Domain.
So he secretly compared it with the map, and to his surprise, the path into the blood pool matched the map perfectly.
Although this underground palace is called a palace, it is more like a large tomb, and it's a rather eclectic mix of Chinese and Western styles.
The floor is paved with quartz slabs, which are very smooth. The walls are decorated with exquisite ancient murals and candlesticks that emit blue flames.
However, the ceilings of each room are inlaid with various gemstones, and diamonds cover a large area of the ceiling. The doors between the rooms are also light-transmitting doors made of large diamonds, which together make it look rather tacky.
The aesthetics are like saline-alkali land, excessively barren.
After arriving at the blood pool, the skeleton knight handed the fire fork to Gu Mingyue and the other person, seemingly wanting them to bleed the 'food'.
Gu Mingyue frowned as she glanced at the blood pool filled with a foul stench. Although it was called a blood pool, it was actually a large pool surrounded by many diamond fragments, with human thigh skeletons placed on the side and a pool of scarlet liquid in the center.
Unexpectedly, the Lord of the Dark Domain here is a diamond fanatic. Gu Mingyue raised an eyebrow and swung the fire fork directly at the two skeleton knights.
The two skeletons, emitting blue flames, were instantly shattered, their skulls bouncing and trying to reassemble themselves onto the spine.
"Tsk tsk, how can you be so stupid? Haven't you ever bled your 'food' before? How come you can even stab the wrong place with the fire fork?"
Before Gu Mingyue could answer, another skeleton knight, whose head and joints had been removed, said angrily, "Are you stupid? These two ugly monsters are clearly not of the same kind and are deliberately attacking us."
After reminding its companions, it immediately started yelling and shouting, attempting to summon the other monsters guarding the blood pool.
Unfortunately, Xinghe had already erected a spatial shield, and the two silly skeleton monsters could only watch as Gu Mingyue and her companion dug out their crystal cores, realizing at the same time that they had actually brought the 'unknown creature' to the center of the Dark Domain.
Just after dealing with two silly skeleton monsters, Gu Mingyue and her companions heard arguing coming from outside the blood pool.
Fearing that the monsters outside might be more intelligent, and with nowhere to hide, the four glanced at the foul-smelling pool of blood below and had no choice but to crawl inside.
"Honey, look at you, you're so naughty. You're getting married soon, and you've gotten yourself all dirty."
"The master of ceremonies is all ready. Hurry up and wash yourself in the blood pool so as not to delay the auspicious time."
He Xu's voice was very magnetic.
Unfortunately, the other voice was completely unromantic and even filled with anger.
"I won't wash. We humans don't have the habit of bathing in blood, and besides, it's impossible for me to be with you."
"Stop being stubborn, we don't have any water here. Go quickly."
"You monster, you pervert! Release us now! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you."
The Lord of the Dark Domain chuckled, touched the horns on its head, and then touched the man. Countless red blood lines emerged from its hand and gently caressed the man's cheek.
But the man disliked and avoided her.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Dark Domain was not angry: "Don't worry, after the ritual, I will turn you into one of our own kind, so that you will no longer speak to those 'food'."
“Impossible,” the man said firmly.
"Hehe, hurry up and wash off all this filth. I don't have the patience. If you try anything again, I'll kill two more people from the Nirvana Merchant Guild."
Upon hearing this, the man's face revealed an extremely insulting yet slightly restrained expression. He angrily walked to the edge of the blood pool, despondently took off his clothes, and jumped into the blood pool.
As soon as he jumped into the pool of blood, he touched several human limbs, which startled him and made him jump. He thought that when the monsters bled him out, they threw human limbs in with them.
Gu Mingyue and the others quickly peeked out and covered the man's mouth.
A magnetic voice came from outside the diamond door.
