Chapter 567: Puppet (2/2)

Although this quietness came from the lack of living creatures, Xue Wei did not mind. In fact, he found that he actually enjoyed such silence. Areas like these, which seemed somewhat otherworldly, were very comfortable.

The further down he stepped, the colder it became. The air had been dry and hot, but now it was slowly turning cold and humid.

Such conditions were not great when it came to maintaining the corpse of the Black Turtle, but Xue Wei somehow did not doubt that since the voice had told him about the possibility of getting the essence blood here, it would have a certain belief that his body would still maintain a somewhat proper condition.

It was unknown how long Xue Wei walked, or how deep below the ground he had ended up, but eventually the stairs stopped, and a wide corridor appeared instead.

This corridor was arched and was plackared with stones. It did not seem as if it had casually been dug underneath the ground, but as if it had been created with care and consideration at the same time as the whole forgotten city.

This corridor was not too long when compared to the staircase he had just walked down, and it did not take him long to reach a large circular room.

The room was massive, at least the same size as the square above, but where the square above had the great black pagoda, this room had a big altar in the middle, and on top of the altar was the body of a Black Turtle.

The body seemed to be in perfect condition. The shell was glistening like onyx, while the skin itself was the color of ebony.

The whole body seemed peaceful, but the aura that surrounded it was overwhelmingly powerful; so powerful that even Xue Wei felt his breathing slow down.

He could not help but furrow his brows as he looked at the body. Although he was aware that Lan was extremely strong, he somehow felt that this turtle did not lose out in terms of power to him, which made him feel somewhat perplexed and confused.

Could it be that many hidden experts were living in hiding within the world of the living? If not, how could this black turtle become so strong?

Xue Wei decided to toss the worries about power levels to the back of his mind, and he calmed his breathing and heartbeat before he slowly made his way towards the altar.

Looking at the massive body, he could not help but frown. It was great that he had found this body, but the biggest problem was the great condition it was in. How exactly was he supposed to extract its essence blood?
