Bab 457: Blood Sacrifice, Hell Road (3)
Even though she thought this in her heart, the movements of her hands didn't stop, swiftly tearing the clothes apart and weaving them together. In a moment of work, a braided seven meter long rope was completed.
That Tang San didn't undress in this way didn't mean his mind was any slower than Hu Liena's, but rather that he subconsciously overlooked this method because he had Blue SIlver Grass. But of course he couldn't easily pull out Blue Silver Grass in front of Hu Liena. Simultaneously possessing the Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass, with Hu Liena's intelligence, how couldn't that raise questions?
"For you, are you walking in front or behind?"
Hu Liena handed over one end of the cord to Tang San. Forging ahead on such a narrow road would clearly become a lot safer with two people tied together. This was also why Hu Liena undressed.
Tang San didn't hesitate to say:
"I'll go in front."
He practically didn't give these words any thought. In terms of safety, behind was clearly a bit safer than in front. But Tang San was helpless, letting him follow behind and constantly seeing Hu Liena's criminal mistake inducing seductive figure, perhaps it would be all over even without the need to walk the Hell Road. He didn't want to have any entanglements between him and Hu Liena.
Hu Liena seemed to understand Tang San's way of thinking and smiled sweetly. She had complete confidence in her charm. As a result of her spirit's characteristics, she had received special seduction training since childhood. Hu Liena thought that while there might be girls more beautiful than her, it was impossible for there to be any girl more attractive than her.
The two each tied an end of the cord around their waists. Tang San turned his head to glance at Hu Liena, just in time to see her adjust her bust. With her innate charm, even such a tiny movement made Tang San's head heat up. Hastily turning around and moderating his spiritual force, he eliminated any distracting thoughts in his heart,
"Let's go."
Seeing Tang San hastily turn his head, Hu Liena couldn't help snickering, thinking, 'It seems you're not really a rock!' However, she very quickly restrained her intentions of provoke Tang San's heart. Gaze turning cold, her mind completely focused, she followed behind Tang San towards that only half a chi wide narrow road.
"Don't look down."
Tang San warned Hu Liena. His pace wasn't fast, but rather the distance covered with each step forward was very regular. The two were both outstanding talents of the young generation of Spirit Masters, neither with weak cultivation. Walking this kind of road didn't count as anything. Further adding their mental qualities, as a result, they could still keep a steady pace after entering the narrow road.
Hu Liena followed behind Tang San, the two separated by about three to four meters distance. Inwardly she couldn't help being even a bit more admiring of this man. The even steps and pace was no doubt in order to make it easier for Hu Liena behind him to grasp the tempo, maintaining this optimal distance.
And Tang San also couldn't help inwardly sighing in praise over Hu Liena's intelligence. Because when he walked forward, whenever he took a step with his left foot, Hu Liena would inevitably take a step with her right. Like this, when Tang San's center of gravity was partial to his left, Hu Liena's center of gravity would be partial to her right. If by some chance someone lost balance, the other person would still come to the aid by virtue of their center of gravity. Moreover, Hu Liena always held one hand on the end of the cord, ready to apply force at any time.
Even though it was their first time cooperating, the tacit understanding both sides imperceptibly formed made them loose a breath. The pair's spiritual force began to spread. Neither dared release it too excessively, only within a fifty meter diameter range with themselves as the center. Even the movement of a wind blown blade of grass couldn't be concealed from them.
Tang San walked forward, squinting slightly, Purple Demon Eye attentively watching in front. The distant darkness wasn't any major problem to him, but despite having Purple Demon Eye, under this kind of light he could still only see a kilometer or so. Moreover, his vision also became vague in the distance. His hands hung naturally at his waist, caressing the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges. Right now, he and Hu Liena were a pair of grasshoppers tied together with string. If they encountered a situation, they couldn't move too widely or they would hamper each other, causing a devastating catastrophe.
Maintaining such an even pace, the two slowly disappeared into the dark red. The platform behind them could already no longer be seen.
Tang San didn't walk quickly, because as the person in front, the things he had to keep attention on far exceeded that of Hu Liena. Moreover, he also kept a certain alertness toward Hu Liena behind him. In their current situation, he understood that it wasn't just him having hidden cards, Hu Liena certainly also did. Only, he didn't know what cards she held. The longer they walked on this Hell Road, the greater the pressure on Tang San became, because he didn't know whether Hu Liena would try to act against him when they left this place. After all, one more person with the Deathgod Domain would certainly be a very great threat in the future. Even if Hu Liena didn't know he was Tang San, the identity inferred by the Clear Sky Hammer was still enough to let her determine that there was no friendly relationship between them.
As they walked forward, Tang San's steps suddenly halted, and Hu Liena behind him halted at practically the same moment, without taking one more step, showing just how focused her mind was right now.
"What is it?"
Hu Liena asked in a low voice.
Tang San said:
"We've already walked three hundred sixty four steps, haven't you noticed that the air has started getting hotter? Moreover, it seems it's no longer quiet here, there are sounds around us. Even though it's very faint, and still distant, their target should be us. Be careful."
Listening to Tang San, Hu Liena couldn't help being secretly shocked. Even though she knew that Tang San wasn't weak, she hadn't expected his spiritual force to actually be so formidable. Right now she still hadn't noticed the sounds Tang San spoke of, while she did somewhat sense the temperature rising. This proved that Tang San's spiritual force was above hers.
Looking at the youth in front who clearly wasn't any older than her, Hu Liena silently nodded, flicking both her wrists, a dagger appearing in each.
Tang San didn't summon the Clear Sky Hammer, but Hu Liena faintly saw something in Tang San's hands, flashing with faint light in the dark red around them.
Gradually, those minute sounds also appeared in Hu Liena's spiritual boundary. The sounds weren't loud, but their frequency was extraordinarily high. Just as Tang San said, these tiny noises were approaching in their direction.
Suddenly, Tang San somewhat impatiently said:
"I know why it would feel hotter. The blood reservoir down there is closer to us."
"Ah? How is that possible? We haven't walked down any slope."
Hu Liena somewhat shocked looked down the abyss to either side. She still didn't see anything, as far as the eye could see, vertigo and dizziness attacked her. She swiftly composed herself to stand properly, not daring to look again.
Tang San lowered his voice:
"Previously the blood pool below us was a kilometer off or so, but right now this distance should have already closed to about nine hundred meters. That's why I would feel the temperature rising. It seems that it might not be blood in that reservoir, but also possibly magma. If the temperature continues to rise as we go forward, then I'm sure that by the end of the road we'll be submerged in magma. That's also the truly difficult test of the Hell Road."
Listening to Tang San, Hu Liena couldn't keep her heart from shivering. A simple inward analysis also led her to the same conclusion.
Tang San said in a low voice:
"Let's ignore that for now, no matter what, we still have to deal with the crisis before us first. It's here."
A droning sound grew louder and louder, and with Purple Demon Eye, Tang San could vaguely see some red shadows swiftly approaching. Very soon he understood why the frequency of that sound was so high to his spiritual senses. Because, these swiftly approaching creatures weren't one or two, but a flock. A flock of at least a thousand.
As they came closer, those flying creatures could finally be seen clearly. That was one blood red bat after another, just like small scale prints of that blood colored design on the ground of the Hell Slaughter Arena before. The length of each blood bat was one chi or so, but their enormous wings spanned more than a meter.
One or two of these blood bats were of course no problem, but when more than a thousand appeared all of a sudden, they were like a red cloud, swiftly flying towards Tang San and Hu Liena.
Right now, Hu Liena's face had become very unsightly. Putting away the daggers in her hands by her chest, she asked in a low voice:
"What now?"
Tang San calmly said:
"Counter soldiers with weapons, counter water with earth weirs. We'll fight back to back."
"Alright."
In such a situation, nobody would choose to run. Hu Liena swiftly turned around and arrived behind Tang San, her body leaning directly against Tang San's back. Her outstanding pert butt stuck just below Tang San's, and the suddenly appearing flexibility almost made Tang San's rigorous will crack.
Clearly feeling Tang San's slight dodging motion, Hu Liena also couldn't help being shocked, slightly opening a bit of distance, not letting her and Tang San stick as close as before. No matter how outstanding she was, she was still a woman. In such an unknown frightening situation, in her heart involuntarily appeared a feeling of relying on Tang San.
