Chapter 58 A Bloodbath is needed V (2/2)

In the morning, Wang Ling was barely hanging on, and at night, he was wreaking havoc at savage beasts that he comes into contact. He had even met with the Vermillion Crows one time but thanks to his strengthened cultivation, Wang Ling managed to fend them off.

”That cry is the seventh one, it had been happening more frequently lately. The ball of blood, or should I say the treasure is going to awaken any time soon.” Said Fang Guan who was leading them.

”Mhm, you're right. The roars and cries had been getting stronger recently, the treasure must be reacting. But still, I wonder just what kind of treasure is hidden in this place? Is it the bones of the Phoenix?” commented Lu Lin who was running right of Wang Ling.

”I don't know, but whatever it is, this treasure is going to be extraordinary.” Fang Guan answered her without actually giving an answer.

”But don't you think that something weird is going on?” Zi Liang who was by the side commented as she noted something was wrong, ”The carcasses of beast we had been encountering lately were all sucked out of their blood, turning them into empty husk that have no use.

”Senior Brother Fang, Senior Sister Lu, something is wrong here. Those deaths were not normal, it was too weird and too irrational. Whatever caused the death of those beasts, the ball of blood the informant spoke of must be connected to it.”

Zi Liang was worried about something that had also concerned Wang Ling this past few days. He shared the same sentiments as Zi Liang which was rare as he had always saw her as someone who had a narrow view on things.

For the past few days, they had encountered corpses that had no blood or any form of qi in their body.

From his previous observations, Wang Ling could surmised that the souls of those beasts were also held captive enabling them to move making them lose the chance of retaliation.

[Those beasts have weaker souls than the one who did that to them.] Thought Wang Ling as he continued to think hard about the current situation.

The treasure that they were trying to get was supposedly made of blood that had coagulated into a ball. The things that had been going weird had something to do with blood and Wang Ling was starting to get worried that the ball of blood they were chasing was a trap.

Fang Guan listened to Zi Liang and nodded his head as he tried his best to comfort her troubled heart.

”Something really is wrong, but we can't go back if the cause of this weird incident is really caused by the ball of blood. If we leave now, the victims on the ball of blood might not be savage beasts but become humans in the future.

”I know this is dangerous but as someone from the Piercing Heaven Empire that rules this area. We have the obligations to make sure that we will be able to avoid anything that can lead to the loss of lives of other people.”

Fang Guan sounded heroic as he spoke. Zi Liang held her head down after hearing Fang Guan, she was rather ashamed after realizing that what she had said may also be seen as her being too scared to face the danger head on and run away.

However, whilst her head was down, she heard Wang Ling's indifferent tone of voice, ”Don't worry, your worries are not unfounded. Being scared and running away is not something to be ashamed of.” Wang Ling counseled her as he tried to keep the morale of their team as high as possible.

Zi Liang looked at Wang Ling with bewildered eyes as she heard his 'praise'?

As if she wanted to say something, she opened her little mouth… but as she was just about to say something the entire White Dragon Valley trembled.

Rumble!!

The ground shook as from afar two vivid looking image soar through the air.

Roar!!

Kriii!

Two blood red beast image appeared on the sky and let our heaven defying roar and cries.

The entire valley trembled and those who had gathered here looking for the treasure immediately headed for the place where this occurred… Wang Ling and the rest were no different.

”Let's go! We can't let other's get there first!”

On the place where the ball of blood entered a seclusion, the ball of blood was starting to show cracks and was a low growl echoed inside the cave.

A blood red eye appeared in between the cracks and a thick aura of slaughter permeated the air.

From the blood of the two beasts, another was inside. As to what kind of beast it was, no one really knows.
