Qinglong paced anxiously around the perimeter of the barrier, his brows furrowed.
"Why hasn't Master returned yet? Could he have really been eaten by those ancient monsters... No, I have to go and rescue Master!"
Qinglong once again raised his spear to attack the barrier.
Meanwhile, Xie Zhou, who had been displaying her skills, had already dealt with all the strange creatures from the Upper Realm. Only a few wisps of blood energy remained in the air, seemingly doing something, but Xie Zhou paid no attention. She pressed the Xuanwu tombstone and quickly triggered the mechanism, thus successfully arriving at the Xuanwu's tomb.
Xie Zhou entered the tomb and found a large amount of blood energy inside. Looking at the blood energy lingering there, the entire space seemed to be invaded by blood energy, with red and black eerily intertwined, and it occasionally emitted strange cackling cries.
Xie Zhou couldn't help but sigh as he looked at these things, but the system reminded him at this moment: "Host, be careful of this blood energy. Don't forget that it can harm your divine essence. Moreover, the system has discovered that the blood energy here is not ordinary!"
She immediately held her breath, only to see several streams of blood energy already spreading around her. Xie Zhou activated his mental power to protect himself, but it was to no avail. The blood energy seemed to be extremely violent because of Xie Zhou's mental power, and a large portion of it gathered together and rushed towards Xie Zhou.
Those bloodlust seemed to have found their prey, and Xie Zhou was it.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Countless streams of blood energy were relentlessly eroding Xie Zhou's body.
"Ah!...Ugh..."
Xie Zhou's limbs were controlled by the blood energy, and he felt a dull pain throughout his body. His face turned pale.
She was like a toy played with by those blood energies, being carried and thrown in different directions by them, only to be caught by other blood energies, which also relentlessly eroded her body, causing Xie Zhou great discomfort.
However, during the process of being eroded, Xie Zhou also discovered the remnant soul of the Xuanwu that had been eroded.
The moment Xie Zhou's eyes met those of the blood-soaked Xuanwu, the remnant soul of the Xuanwu had already lost its reason. It was covered in the stench of blood and was no longer the Xuanwu it should be. It seemed to have turned evil, and its whole body was disgustingly covered in blood.
Xie Zhou frowned, trying to break free, but this only made the blood energy erosion more severe, so Xie Zhou had no choice but to increase his mental strength.
But Xuanwu suddenly launched a frenzied attack on Xie Zhou.
It continuously emitted orbs of light from its mouth, surrounded by a black aura, as it attacked Xie Zhou.
"Ugh... Pfft..."
She was struck from behind, almost causing her to faint. After being hit and vomiting blood, Xie Zhou tried to communicate with the remnant soul of Xuanwu using his spiritual power, hoping to awaken a part of its consciousness and prevent it from being controlled by the blood energy.
"Black Tortoise...Black Tortoise..."
