At the entrance of the ruins lay a Bone Beast over ten ters long, its bleak white bones straddling the gateway like a potent guardian.
Shen Tang was secretly alard in her heart, what a magnificent scene!
Yellow sand filled the sky, and the giant beast’s remains stood proudly.
She was standing in front of this giant beast’s skull; its massive cranium was larger than her entire body. The two dark hollow eye sockets were like deep caverns, even to the extent that she could crawl into them.
Suddenly, two red lights abruptly flared up in those hollow eye sockets, as if sensing an intruder, and the gigantic skeletal fra began to tremble, raising a swirling storm of sand.
Shen Tang was so startled she took several steps back.
Necro stepped forward to shield her, raised his hand to gently stroke the giant beast’s skull, and said in a low voice, "It’s , stand down."
The red light in the Bone Beast’s eyes gradually dimd, and the giant skeleton about to revive lay back down to sleep, as if everything just now was rely an illusion.
Necro turned to look at the still-shaken young female and explained, "This was a pet I used to have. I liked it very much. After it died, I infused my own blood into its bones to create this undead bone fra to guard this forbidden area against intruders."
Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat, the Blood Clan’s blood is indeed defying the heavens!
The Living Corpse Army may have a short lifespan, but the bones can remain uncorrupted for thousands of years! Luckily, creating such a Bone Beast must co at a higher cost than the living corpses; otherwise, if there were truly a Living Corpse Army, the Imperial Army would have no way to fight against it.
Necro walked to the front of the door.
The door was engraved with mysterious runes.
His right-hand fingertips suddenly beca long and sharp, without hesitation, he cut open the palm of his left hand, fresh blood gushing out, and instantly filled the air with a peculiar and enchanting aroma of blood.
He pressed his bleeding palm against the door, and the surging blood quickly filled the patterns. The entire door glowed with a dark red light, then with a "crack," the door swung open.
Inside the door, ca the howling wind, like the low roar of a giant beast, yet resembling ancient chanting, carrying with it a heavy warning to the intruder.
Shen Tang’s heartbeat quickened, her biological instincts filled her with fear.
But she did not retreat. After calming herself, she quickly stepped forward and took Necro’s hand, healing the wound on his palm.
Necro felt more satisfied, holding her hand as they walked into the ruined palace.
Shen Tang roughly guessed that this should be the palace where the Blood Clan lived before their extinction.
Perhaps because the Blood Clan disliked sunlight, this vast ruined palace had not a single window, it was pitch-black, abandoned for hundreds of years, and the air was perated with a damp earthy sll.
Necro led Shen Tang straight ahead, and after an unknown amount of ti, he triggered a certain chanism, leading her into a concealed tunnel.
Passing through the long passageway, Shen Tang slled a moist, sticky odor like that of blood, coupled with the sound of rushing water in her ears.
Soon after, there was finally light ahead, but it wasn’t coming from outside; rather, specks of scarlet luminescence floated in the air, faintly illuminating the surroundings.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Tang discovered they were countless floating blood beads, of varying sizes, emitting a faint glow.
Beneath the blood beads, there was surprisingly a sizable Blood Pool!
Necro stepped directly into the Blood Pool, even wanting to pull her in for a soak, but she refused.
Shen Tang shook her head in fear, refusing to go in no matter what.
This ti, she wasn’t faking it; she was genuinely a bit scared!
Who knows what this Blood Pool is, it looks sinister and malevolent, definitely not a good thing.
Seeing the female’s frightened appearance, Necro did not forcibly pull her down. He leaned against the pool’s edge, eyes closed, seemingly very pleased with himself.
The blood in the pool surged, bubbles popped one by one, it looked like a stew, or as if so Magic Potion was being concocted...
Shen Tang stared at the situation in the Blood Pool and quickly realized sothing was amiss.
Though Shen Tang had confessed to Necro about her Healing Ability, she wasn’t foolish enough to expose her true strength.
Basic Healing Ability females were rare, but they did exist in this world. Shen Tang, to maintain her identity, didn’t use much of her superpower when healing Necro’s wound, she just roughly healed it so it didn’t seem as severe.
But in fact, his wound hadn’t been fully healed.
Yet now, Necro was soaking in the Blood Pool, and his wounds were healing at a visible speed!
The wound healed so completely that not even a scar was left, just like the last ti Xue Yinzhou injured him.
Now, Shen Tang finally understood where Necro went in such a hurry after the last ti.
It seems that every ti Necro sustains an irreversible major injury, he cos to this place.
Shen Tang anxiously surveyed their surroundings, and asked softly, "What is this place? What are these floating blood beads? Why is there a Blood Pool here..."
Necro leaned against the edge with his eyes closed, lazily responding, "This is the Blood Clan ancestors’ burial ground."
"...What?" Shen Tang was extrely shocked.
He opened his eyes, gently stirred the water with his hand, the blood-like fluid gliding down his arm, "This place used to be a natural underground spring. It turned into a Blood Pool because of these blood beads above."
Shen Tang looked up at the floating blood beads suspended in the air.
At a glance, it seed almost uncountable, there might be hundreds, or even possibly over a thousand?
These blood beads varied in size, so clearly brimming with imnse energy, the blood color intensely brilliant. So were dim, looking as though they might soon blacken.
She had a vague guess in her heart, "What exactly are these blood beads?"
Necro said, "These were left behind by the Blood Clan back in the day. When their lifespan wasn’t fully expended, after death, they would transform into these blood beads, containing the power from their lifetis. With the addition of Blood Clan’s secret techniques, they can cultivate a large number of High-level Beastn."
Shen Tang felt a shock in her heart, no wonder there are so many High-level Beastn in the rebel army, so this is how they were created?!
Shen Tang retracted her gaze and looked once again at the man soaking in the Blood Pool. She bit her lip and couldn’t help but ask, "Lifespan not fully expended... did they all die unexpectedly in those days? Are you the only Blood Clan mber left in the world now?"
