"Those people, what are they doing?"
Song Wen noticed that at the foot of Sui Mountain, there was a large pit several tens of zhang in size.
In the pit, nurous chunks of blackened at were scattered around.
The pieces varied in size, so as large as several ters, while others were as small as a bowl.
The chunks emitted a strong stench of blood and rotting flesh.
There were six late-stage Qi Refining disciples of the Beast Cultivation Sect, each with a jade box about a zhang tall in front of them.
They were using knives to cut the rotten at chunks and then placing them into the jade boxes.
Perhaps fearing to disturb Blood Sui, the six did not dare to use any spiritual power and instead relied solely on their physical strength to work.
Liu Leyi glanced in the direction of the at pit and explained, "Those at chunks are the rotting flesh expelled from Blood Sui. They contain a hint of Blood Sui's spirit and are excellent food for spirit beasts. The at balls you ntioned for raising the human-snake hybrids are made from this rotting flesh mixed with so spiritual herbs."
Hearing this, Song Wen's eyes lit up.
He suddenly felt a strong craving within him coming from the Sacred Gu.
The Sacred Gu was intensely interested in the rotting flesh expelled by Blood Sui.
In front of everyone, Song Wen didn't dare to release the Sacred Gu; he cald it down and continued watching the flesh pillar feed.
Soon it was ti for Liu Leyi's ship to feed.
The ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators under him dragged over a thousand mortals bound by chains and flew toward the peak of Sui Mountain.
Amid the terrified pleas of the mortals, they were thrown into the flesh pillar at the center of the mountain.
In this way, all the tens of thousands of mortals from the ten ships had been fed to Blood Sui.
When the last group of mortal blood food was swallowed by Blood Sui, the ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators preparing to return to their ships suddenly felt a powerful pressure erupting from Sui Mountain.
This pressure was violent and vast, like the weight of Mount Tai pressing down on them.
The first affected were the ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who had been feeding Blood Sui.
"Pfft..."
The ten cultivators all spat out blood on the spot.
Their flight techniques were instantly disrupted, and they plumted rapidly from the sky.
The entire Sui Mountain began to tremble violently.
The eighteen caves on the mountain began to blow out strong winds as if sothing was rapidly drilling in from within, forcibly expelling the air in the caves.
In an instant.
Eighteen tentacles, each nearly four zhang thick, shot out from these caves.
The tentacles extended and grew longer, wrapping around the ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, then lightly tossing them toward the flesh pillar at the mountain's peak.
Next in line to be fed upon were the six Qi Refining cultivators collecting the rotting flesh at the foot of the mountain.
Then the tentacles turned toward the ships.
On the ships, defensive formations began to light up.
The three-tier defensive formations that could block the attacks of Golden Core cultivators were instantly shredded like paper before the tentacles.
Even the large ship was crushed along with it, and the cultivators on board rushed to escape.
However, aside from one Foundation Establishnt cultivator on each ship, who managed to fly away on a sword, all the other cultivators could only watch helplessly as they plumted toward the ground.
Before they could reach the ground, most were captured by the tentacles and thrown into Blood Sui's mouth.
The ship that Song Wen was on was at the end of the line; the tentacles first attacked the ships ahead, giving them a brief mont to escape.
"Follow !" Liu Leyi shouted sternly.
As he spoke, he flew up on his sword, charging back toward the mist.
Song Wen and Zhou Siyu followed closely behind, also taking to the air on their swords.
As Song Wen stepped onto his flying sword, his body suddenly swayed.
The oppressive force from Blood Sui was truly overwhelming; even at a distance, and although it wasn't directed at Song Wen, it significantly reduced his speed.
Moreover, he had to expend ten tis the usual amount of spiritual power just to maintain his
flight.
Zhou Siyu, with only initial-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivation and having never experienced a life-or-death crisis, felt her mind in disarray facing Blood Sui's pressure, making it nearly impossible for her to fly on her sword.
However, she had a spirit beast to assist her.
She summoned a late-stage second-tier eagle and rode on its back.
Just as Song Wen and the others left the ship, a tentacle reached out, gently wrapping around
the ship and tearing it apart.
On the ship, several late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who didn't manage to escape were snatched up one by one by the tentacle and thrown into Blood Sui's mouth.
The deaths of these Qi Refining cultivators bought precious ti for Song Wen and his companions to escape, and they quickly arrived at the edge of the mist.
Along with them escaping the pursuit of the tentacles were several Foundation Establishnt
cultivators.
The eight of them all disappeared into the mist.
As soon as they entered the mist, Song Wen felt a lightness in his body.
The oppressive force of Blood Sui vanished.
Racing on his sword, Song Wen turned back to glance.
The gigantic tentacles of Blood Sui gradually beca obscured by the mist, slowly turning
more and more blurry.
The tentacles did not reach into the mist.
Looking around, he saw the other seven were hurriedly fleeing.
Song Wen slowed down his escape light, quietly dropping to the back, and two Sacred Gus fell
from the nape of his neck.
This mist was created by an array formation, which had the effect of obscuring vision and
shielding spiritual senses, and since the Sacred Gus excelled at hiding their presence, no one noticed Song Wen's small movents amid their panic to escape.
Soon, the eight of them penetrated the mist and ca outside the array formation
surrounding Sui Mountain.
The group stopped their flight ten zhang outside the array, still feeling lingering fear as they
looked back toward Sui Mountain.
"What just happened? Why did Blood Sui suddenly go berserk and actively hunt?" Zhou Siyu
asked with a sowhat pale face.
Liu Leyi shook his head; he didn't know either.
At that mont, an elderly-looking cultivator took the initiative to explain.
"It should be that Blood Sui is about to give birth to a Blood Kui Beast."
"Blood Sui awakens every twenty years and continues to feed for thirty days before falling
back into a deep sleep."
"However, roughly every hundred years, Blood Sui will breed a Blood Kui Beast. During these tis, Blood Sui's appetite greatly increases."
"This ti, Blood Sui has been awake for four days, and it has been fed the usual amount each
day; it must have been insufficient blood food, making Blood Sui feel hungry, which led to it
attacking."
Everyone's expression turned astonished upon hearing this.
"The Blood Kui Beast is a descendant of Blood Sui?"
The old cultivator replied, "It can't exactly be called a descendant. It would be more accurate
to say that the Blood Kui Beast is a type of spirit residing within Blood Sui. The Blood Kui
Beast helps Blood Sui cleanse the rotten flesh within its body, while the rotting flesh can help
the Blood Kui Beast increase its strength."
"Why does the flesh of Blood Sui naturally rot?" Zhou Siyu curiously asked.
The old cultivator shook his head.
"That no one knows. According to legends, over a thousand years ago, there was an Elder who
was nearing the end of his lifespan. Perhaps in search of a breakthrough or to satisfy his curiosity, he willingly allowed himself to be devoured by Blood Sui and entered its body."
"After being trapped inside Blood Sui for an entire day, the next day, when Blood Sui was feeding, he followed the esophagus and managed to escape from Blood Sui's body."
"However, he was gravely injured and passed away not long after."
"According to this Elder, within Blood Sui's body, there were nurous Blood Kui Beasts that
could survive for a long ti by feeding on Blood Sui's rotting flesh."
"It was after that incident that the sect beca aware of the existence of the Blood Kui Beasts
and sought ways to lure them out from Blood Sui's body to capture them."
