Chapter 533 - A Mountain of Corpses and a Sea of Blood (1/2)

A moment ago…

On an island with reeds and water around, which was 50 kilometers away from the ruins of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Villa…

A pile of withered reeds was pushed aside, revealing a black hole the size of a man.

Huang Rong exited the hole with a vigilant look on his face.

Seeing that there were no enemies around, she signaled to the people behind her to follow.

These people were all women and children with almost no martial cultivation. They looked panicked and angry. They were the families of the warriors who were sacrificed in the villa. They escaped through a secret pa.s.sage of the villa.

No inscription formation was used during the construction of this secret tunnel, and each brick and tile was ordinary. Moreover, the fleeing people, apart from Huang Rong, had little martial arts cultivation, so there was no large scale Qi fluctuation, which hid them from the Demon Clan. Finally, they got past the blockade of the Demon Clan and escaped!

“Rong’er, what should we do next…” a woman in her 50s, who looked graceful and n.o.ble, asked calmly.

She was Liu Yuhan, Huang s.h.i.+xiong’s wife.

Huang Rong thought for a moment then made a decision. “Auntie, there is a boat on the island. Let’s go south by boat.”

“Go south? Isn’t that getting farther and farther away from the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain Range?” Liu Yuhan asked in confusion, “What are we going to do there?”

Huang Rong said, “Those monsters came at us menacingly. There must be many checkpoints along the way to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. If we can’t pa.s.s them, we will fall into their trap. So we’ll just go south, the opposite direction. 2,000 kilometers away from here is the Heavenly Sound Valley. In the Grading Meeting of the Sect, brother Ding Hao activated the ancient magical zither, and the Heavenly Sound Valley was indebted to him. If we go to them for shelter, they will definitely help us!”

Liu Yuhan nodded slightly and said, “That’s a good idea.”

Then it seemed that she suddenly realized something. She looked at Huang Rong quietly as if she saw her daughter for the first time. After a while, she said, “Rong’er, you have really grown up…”

Before she had finished her words, suddenly—

“Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking! Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking!”

The sound, like the roar of heaven and earth, came from the direction of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Villa, which was burning in fire.

Then, there was a continuous sound of explosions. A bright light illuminated the land within a hundred kilometers radius, as if it were the bright sun in the dark night, making the land very brilliant.

That was the scene of martial artists sacrificing themselves.

Huang Rong was stunned and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Tears rolled down her face. She knew that at that moment, she had lost her most precious family member.

“Dad, if you are a spirit in heaven, you’ll see that I have grown up. Sooner or later, I will find Senior Brother Ding Hao and ask him to avenge you… No demon who came to the villa tonight can escape death!”

Huang Rong swore silently in her heart.

Then she turned around and said in a low voice, “Everyone, come with me!”

The group of people, who were filled with grief and hatred, stepped with heavy footsteps and disappeared among the withered reeds covered by ice and snow.

That night, the roaring fire in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Villa in the distance was engraved in their hearts forever.

The children, in particular, remembered this place where their parents and brothers died. There would be a day when they would come back and take revenge!

The ninth section of the West Journey to the Ancient Road turned out to be an underground world full of magma.

The magma with a very high temperature was rolling and boiling like a pot of boiling water, and it constantly bubbled. A ma.s.s of magma burst up, making a buzzing sound.

In the boiling magma, there were burned red rocks.

That was the only “road” on this Ancient Road.

Carrying Ji Yingqi on his back, Ding Hao unfolded the Qi s.h.i.+eld, isolated from the heat that was powerful enough to instantly burn the experts at the Great Martial Mentor realm to ashes. Relying on the power of his physical body, Ding Hao jumped up and down among the towering rocks and continued to move forward.

It had been three days since he had come to this world.

He was about to reach the end of this Ancient Road.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the magma burst out, and a more than 50-meter-long fish-shaped giant monster made of magma flew out of the magma. It opened its huge mouth and was about to swallow Ding Hao.

Ding Hao’s expression did not change.

In the past three days, he had already been used to such sudden attacks because this kind of magma monster had attacked Ding Hao several times.

“Hahaha!” Adorable, who was riding happily on Evil Moon’s back, spat out bubbles, which instantly covered the magma beast, and then sent it to Evil Moon’s mouth.

“F**k, I’m already full, why are you still sending them to me?”

As Evil Moon flapped its small wings, it lazily put out its pink claws and gently scratched them. The moment Adorable p.r.i.c.ked the bubbles, it decomposed the giant magma beast and took out a fist-sized red crystal from the body and ate it.

These two pets cooperate flawlessly. Obviously, they had practiced this many times.

The giant magma monster was a strange creature, and there was nothing valuable in its whole body. Its flesh was too hot and sour to be eaten. Even the foodie, Evil Moon, was not interested in it. Only the crystal of fire property inside its body had some value, and it contained a large amount of Qi with fire element, which was very precious. The crystal was as valuable as a top-grade mysterious crystal.

Therefore, when they were attacked by the giant magma monster, Ding Hao would let these two pets cooperate to seize the crystals.

In the past few days, in addition to the ones eaten by Evil Moon and Adorable, they had collected about a thousand of this kind of crystal of pure fire property.

It was a smooth journey without too many twists and turns.

“There. The gate to the 10th section of the Ancient Road is ahead…”
