"Swoosh!"
The Sea God's Trident tore through the air, directly sweeping away Tang Chen's smashing hammer.
It precisely passed through the corpse of the Ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
Plucking out a bright red sphere that radiated a rich fire attribute aura.
Luo Yu nodded.
"Hand it over."
The Artifact Spirit of the Sea God's Trident autonomously controlled, gently tapping the inner core.
With a swoosh, it flew towards Luo Yu's palm.
The rest of the Ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's flesh fell into the darkness below.
For a long time, there was no sound of it hitting the ground.
Tang Chen returned with his hammer, his face suffused with frustration.
Looking at the huge inner core in Luo Yu's hand, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
I make a move, and you, the kid, take advantage?
So he had made a move for nothing.
Luo Yu obviously had no intention of dealing with him and examined the inner core in his hand in detail.
"Brother Yu, what's the use of this treasure?" Hulena curiously extended her delicate jade finger, poking the surface of the inner core.
It was soft yet firm, and slightly hot to the touch.
Luo Yu explained, "Carrying this with you can counter all snake-type Martial Soul holders, weakening their strength by at least thirty percent or more."
"At the same time, holders of fire attribute Martial Souls can absorb this inner core and are highly likely to enhance the quality of their Martial Soul."
"Does that mean this thing can evolve Martial Souls?" Hulena exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape.
"Only for fire attribute Martial Souls," Luo Yu added.
"That's still very powerful," Hulena remarked with emotion.
"Better than nothing, no harm in taking it."
Luo Yu thought of his woman at home, and only Huo Wu was of the fire attribute, so he decided to give it to her when he returned.
Hulena stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes at Luo Yu.
He was rich to a disgraceful extent.
To obtain such a peerless treasure and not even care for it.
Countering snake-type Martial Souls and enhancing Martial Soul aptitude, if such a treasure were tossed into Soul Land,
it would likely cause a storm of bloodshed.
And yet, it seemed like men just didn't care much about it.
"Ahem."
Tang Chen interjected from the side:
"If young friend feels that this thing isn't up to standard, you could always give it to this old man, I wouldn't mind."
Luo Yu glanced at him.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
"You!"
Tang Chen's eyes widened; this guy really didn't give any face at all.
Doesn't he realize how terrifying I'll become once I've recovered my strength? Doesn't he want to befriend me?
"Tang Chen."
Bossi suddenly called out, to Tang Chen's slight delight.
"What is it?"
Bossi said coldly, "This is my husband, and also your benefactor. Calling him 'young friend' is a bit disrespectful."
"Hiss—"
Tang Chen almost didn't catch his breath.
Heartbroken.
...
The group continued forward, the surrounding environment growing hotter and hotter.
One could vaguely see something like dark red magma flowing beneath the narrow black stone path.
But it didn't quite seem like magma, as it emitted a stench.
"Brother Yu, do you feel something's off?" Hulena cautiously scanned the surroundings, speaking softly.
"What's off?" Luo Yu asked.
Hulena's beautiful eyes flickered.
"It just feels like something's watching us from all around."
Luo Yu nodded.
"Yes, there are indeed many eyes watching us."
"What?"
Hulena was instantly shaken, as if struck by lightning.
A chill surged through her heart.
Her voice trembling, she said, "Brother Yu... you're not joking with me, right?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "Do I look like I'm joking? There are indeed many eyes around."
"Where?" Hulena quickly scanned left and right, but all she saw was the darkness that filled the void.
Bi Bidong walked over and wrapped her arms around Hulena's fragrant shoulders.
"Stinky man, don't scare the little girl."
"Teacher, where are the eyes Brother Yu mentioned?" Hulena asked.
Bi Bidong curled her lips.
"Look overhead."
Hulena looked up, and her eyes trembled violently.
Above them, in the darkness, a dense mass of red dots covered the area.
Upon closer examination, they were clearly pairs of eyes.
They were silently watching their group, unknown for how long.
"What... what are these?" Hulena's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't panic."
Bi Bidong said softly, "Just a bunch of bat brutes, they've been observing us for quite a while, they would have attacked earlier if they dared."
Hulena looked around at the others; aside from her, no one seemed surprised.
She couldn't help but pout with a look of dejection on her face.
It seemed that everyone else had discovered the anomaly long ago, with only her being the last to notice.
If no one was protecting her, she probably would have already been ambushed by this group of bat brutes.
Luo Yu circulated his Soul Power, condensing a red fireball in his palm.
He threw it toward the sky.
"Boom!"
The fireball exploded, illuminating the space above them.
You could see thousands of Dark Gold Bloodthirsty Bats hanging upside down under the black rocky path; it was exactly where they had just come down from.
The burst of light startled the bat flock.
They scattered and took flight.
One of the giant Dark Gold Bats fixed its gaze in Luo Yu's direction.
As if to say,
"Hey buddy, we didn't bother you. Did you have to startle us with your lighting mode?
Isn't it nice to coexist peacefully?
You've already plundered all the shoots on the mountain."
Hulena, observing the bats dispersing, curiously asked:
"Brother Yu, these beasts are so big, why don't they attack us?"
Luo Yu sighed and said,
"Not all creatures are like the Ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent."
"What do you mean?" Hulena was perplexed.
"Giggle." Bossi couldn't help but laugh and said, "What Brother Yu means is, not many creatures are as dumb as the Ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent."
"Knowing our strength is formidable, they naturally don't dare to come up and seek death," Luo Yu said.
Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Typical villains are usually brainless, but a group of bats turns out to be intelligent, how damn ironic."
Ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent: Are you guys being polite?
I'm already dead, and yet you bring me up just to whip my corpse?
The bat flock did not initiate an attack on Luo Yu, and Luo Yu's party also couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this bunch of minions.
They continued without incident to the end of the black path.
A broken route appeared ahead.
Beneath was the Blood Color Lake, deep and bottomless, bubbling with air pockets, with sinister white bones faintly floating inside.
Emitting a stench of blood.
On the opposite side was a white circular portal, leading to an unknown destination.
Bi Bidong took the initiative, "Brother Yu, by entering that white portal across from us, you can consider having passed the Hell Road, and you can obtain the Killing God Field."
"Is it that easy to acquire the Killing God Field?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
Hulena, upon hearing this, felt like hitting someone.
Please, easy?
Where's the easy part?
Firstly, to enter Hell Road, you need to secure a hundred victories; is that easy?
After entering Hell Road, you face all sorts of unknown dangers without the use of Soul Power.
Is that easy?
Sensing Hulena's biting gaze, Luo Yu tactfully stopped discussing the matter.
He pondered, "Getting the Killing God Field is not that important. I mainly want to find two places."
"But we've already reached the end, haven't we? Haven't you found what you're looking for yet?" Bossi said.
Luo Yu glanced at the map in his mind, realizing it was no good.
After entering Hell Road, he could not determine the precise locations.
He stroked his chin, thinking.
He then asked Bi Bidong, "Dong'er, where did you receive the inheritance of the Rakshasa God?"
