At the moment the bright red liquid entered Bai Li Hong Zhuang's mouth, she already understood what was in that cup.
"Human blood," Bai Li Hong Zhuang spoke slowly, her gaze falling upon the pristine glass.
"There must be other substances mixed in here, otherwise it would be excessively viscous."
Her ink-black eyes shimmered with wise and sharp intelligence. She had tasted human blood before and was not unfamiliar with its flavor. However, after undergoing this particular treatment, it had lost some of its bloody taste.
Observing how quickly Bai Li Hong Zhuang discerned the nature of the drink, Emperor Bei Chen's eyes displayed a tinge of surprise. He was especially amazed by her composed and calm demeanor. It seemed that she had experienced a lot in the past, or else she wouldn't have been able to identify it so quickly. This at least proved that she had tasted it before.
"You are quite knowledgeable," Emperor Bei Chen lightly chuckled. At their stage, they had encountered many things, and Bai Li Hong Zhuang's performance was truly outstanding. He recalled how he embarrassingly vomited the first time he tasted this Bloody Mary, while his master mocked him.
However, everyone who arrived at the Blood Abyss should taste a cup, for that was considered truly having been to the Blood Abyss.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang's lips curved into a shallow smile. "I never expected the people of the Blood Abyss to boldly turn it into a drink. It's truly remarkable."
The onlookers expressed surprise at Bai Li Hong Zhuang's reaction after witnessing her consumption. It seemed that this woman was naturally inclined to be wicked.
In the Blood Abyss, people's aesthetics had changed completely. Delicate young girls disgusted them, while ruthless and heartless women earned their admiration.
"This is a major characteristic of the Blood Abyss. Here, there is also a unique and mystical trial," Bai Li Hong Zhuang raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected that besides the Blood Qi Tower, there were other trials within the Blood Abyss. Judging by Emperor Bei Chen's expression, she knew that this trial was not simple.
"For now, you should first go through the trial in the Blood Qi Tower. As for the trial deep within the Blood Abyss, it is not the right time yet," Emperor Bei Chen suggested.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang nodded slightly, understanding that Emperor Bei Chen made this decision because her strength was not enough. The cultivators present here were at least of the Crimson Realm's fifth rank or higher, and there were also many Yellow Realm cultivators. It was evident that her strength was extremely weak in this place.
Since she couldn't participate now that she understood, it would be better to wait until her strength improved before exploring further.
Emperor Bei Chen's eyes filled with admiration. Bai Li Hong Zhuang was truly mature. Nothing about her resembled a sixteen-year-old girl. Yet, it was precisely her uniqueness that made her unforgettable.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang's gaze swept over the others. "Apart from the Bloody Mary, are there any other kinds of food here?"
Emperor Bei Chen chuckled lightly. "You are right. There are indeed other types of food. However, most people here consume animal or demonic beast meat, and the way they cook the demonic beast meat is extraordinary. Care to try?"
Upon hearing his words, Bai Li Hong Zhuang nodded. Although she was not unfamiliar with such things, it didn't mean she enjoyed them. If these people were consuming the same species, it would be rather repulsive. Fortunately, the situation was not as unpleasant as she had imagined.
