The ferocity of this ant army is enough to instantly destroy any one of the Thirty-Six Families and the Ten Major Sects.
The Golden Blood Lion King's scalp tingled.
Looking at these Devouring Ants, as small as tiny ants, it unwittingly stepped back a few paces!
"Alright, all the blood corpses have been dealt with!"
"Next, let's see what kind of treasures lie within these ancient ruins!"
Qin Chen beckoned.
Grasping the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade in hand.
Imdiately.
Rolling demon intent surged from the blade of the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade into Qin Chen's body.
However, these demonic intents had no adverse effect on Qin Chen, instead, they caused a demonic qi to emanate from his surface, intimidating everyone around him.
"Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade is still far from reaching the level of a Tribulation Transformation Holy Artifact, its power level has increased by twofold compared to before!"
Qin Chen casually slashed out with a blade.
"Hiss!"
The space instantly seed to be scorched by flas, emitting a wisp of smoke.
Fang Shuangshi and others watched with trembling hearts.
Such a casual slash, no one among them could possibly withstand.
The team began exploring the ancient ruins.
The ruins seed to have been occupied by blood corpses earlier, leading to severe damage in many places and even the spirit essences and treasures.
Qin Chen and others spent an hour exploring the entire ruins.
Fang Shuangshi and others did find so things.
But.
Those things were of too low a value to Qin Chen.
"What a pity! If the Spirit Essence Garden hadn't been destroyed, it would certainly have been priceless! I saw there were even shattered leaves of Heavenly Level spirit essences in there!"
Fang Shuangshi shook his head.
Although they found so things on this trip.
They paled in comparison to their losses.
"Perhaps..."
Qin Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at a specific spot.
Fang Shuangshi and others, puzzled, followed Qin Chen's gaze.
At the end of their sight was a pool that had been completely purified by the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade.
"Are you suggesting we check the bottom of the Blood Spring?"
Fang Shuangshi raised an eyebrow.
"It's harmless to take a look," Qin Chen replied with a smile.
Protective Elental Power wrapped around his surface.
"Splash!"
He was the first to jump into the Blood Spring.
The Blood Spring was deep.
Ordinary people jumping into the Blood Spring would feel suffocated from the terrifying water pressure alone.
But for Qin Chen, it was no big deal.
"The deeper you go, the thicker the blood qi!"
Qin Chen could control the speed of his descent, fearing any danger in the waters of the Blood Spring, to ensure he could react in ti.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly.
Qin Chen raised an eyebrow.
He seed to have seen sothing.
In the water, several blood corpses appeared in Qin Chen's sight.
"They're blood corpses!"
"But, it seems the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade has absorbed all the toxic blood from the Blood Spring, leaving these blood corpses without energy, just as an empty shell!"
"Can't let them go to waste!"
Without a second thought.
Qin Chen released all the Devouring Ants.
Though lifeless now, the blood corpses still retained rich purified blood.
For the Devouring Ants.
An excellent feast.
Moreover.
As Qin Chen continued to delve deeper, the blood corpses beca more nurous.
From a few scattered ones initially, they now filled his view.
Qin Chen felt grateful for having thrust the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade into the Blood Spring.
Otherwise.
If these dead blood corpses had escaped the spring, they could potentially pose another threat.
Fang Shuangshi and others followed behind Qin Chen.
anwhile, the Golden Blood Lion King seed to be haunted by the shadows of this place and didn't follow them inside.
It stayed outside to protect the wounded.
"We're almost at the bottom!"
Qin Chen calculated.
From the top to the bottom of the Blood Spring, the distance was nearly two thousand ters, and the water pressure was already very high at this point.
Upon Qin Chen's feet landing on solid ground, he discovered.
The bottom of the Blood Spring led to another place.
Like an underground river.
Qin Chen followed this underground river forward.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly.
Sothing unknown whisked past Qin Chen.
Perhaps due to the tranquility earlier, Qin Chen was caught off guard as this thing flew by, giving him a start.
However.
The thing couldn't escape the clutches of the Devouring Ants.
Just as it passed by Qin Chen, it was devoured by dozens of Devouring Ants.
Its speed was lightning-fast, and Qin Chen could only faintly discern it seed to be a fish.
"It's a Blood Spirit Fish! Likely mutated by the toxic blood in the Blood Spring. These fish are poisonous all over and incredibly fast. Make sure it doesn't grazes your skin,"
Little Fairy warned.
"Scatter!"
Qin Chen, upon hearing that, wasted no ti.
And imdiately commanded the ant army to spread around.
Thus.
Those Blood Spirit Fish could never harm Qin Chen.
At the sa ti.
He instructed Fang Shuangshi and others to keep close, to avoid mishaps.
Indeed.
With the Devouring Ants guarding the surroundings, even though the Blood Spirit Fish were fast, the Devouring Ants were swifter.
Before they could touch Qin Chen and his companions, they were devoured down to bone.
Gradually.
The depth of the underground river began to recede.
After another fifteen minutes.
The underground river's depth was only as high as Qin Chen's calves.
The air was thick with a humid, bloody scent.
With no Blood Spirit Fish in sight, Qin Chen retrieved the Devouring Ants into the Smoke Storage Gourd.
"There's a forest ahead!"
Qin Chen cast his gaze far ahead.
A forest growing underground.
At first glance, it looked sowhat mystical.
Most importantly.
Qin Chen sensed a familiar fragrance within the forest ahead.
"It's Ten-thousand-year-old Tree Sap!"
"There's Ten-thousand-year-old Tree Sap in that forest too!"
Qin Chen's eyes lit up.
Good things like Ten-thousand-year-old Tree Sap are rare and elusive.
The forest ahead was huge, implying the Tree Sap there might be more abundant than that from the Sky Sun Spirit Tree before.
Of course.
The forest ahead wasn't simple.
Among the ordinary thick trees, there were twisted and peculiar, though comparatively thin, blood-red demon trees.
The blood-colored demon trees exuded a pungently strong bloody scent.
They seed less like trees and more like piles of blood.
Fang Shuangshi and others also sensed the abnormality of these blood-colored demon trees, pausing in place without taking rash actions.
However.
At this mont.
An unfamiliar voice suddenly resonated in Qin Chen's mind.
"Human! I want to make a deal with you!"
"Among you, only one person can leave alive."
"The condition is that the others must willingly co to ."
"Otherwise, none of you can leave here alive!"
