Third-tier Blood Infant

Su Bai raised his eyes toward the end of the Blood River, where all was hazy void.

The vast waters of the Blood River flowed into it without a sound.

It was like some colossal beast that devoured everything; staring at it for too long made one's heart palpitate.

"What would happen if an immortal cultivator threw themselves into it?"

"Would they enter another world, or be crushed into dust by this strange river?"

As Su Bai pondered, the precognitive ability granted by Clear Heart Sword Intent made him sense a terrifying crisis.

Su Bai did not hesitate and swiftly retreated.

The next moment, a Blood-red Tentacle several meters wide and of unknown length suddenly shot out from the tranquil river before him.

Pale Blue Eyeballs covered its surface.

It lashed toward where Su Bai had been standing. After extending several meters beyond the river's surface, it suddenly froze.

In the end, under the oppression of some force, it was pressed down inch by inch and sank back into the riverbed.

"I nearly forgot. I need to keep away from the riverbank."

"The Blood River Monster's attack range is so vast. I need to stay at least a dozen meters away—no, several dozen meters—to ensure absolute safety."

"But after all this time, not one of Wang Jue and the other two has arrived. Could they all have been teleported to the opposite side?"

Su Bai looked around, hoping one of the three would appear.

In an environment like the Blood River Secret Realm, the more people there were, the easier things became.

Just then, a firework suddenly shot into the sky from the opposite bank of the Blood River.

The brilliant firework burst in the air, scattering specks of light in every direction.

Seeing that firework, Su Bai sighed softly.

He turned and headed upstream along the Red River, because that firework was the signal he had agreed upon with Wang Jue and the others.

Within the Blood River Secret Realm, the Jade Talisman Flying Letter communication spell of the Jade Mist Sect had failed. Instead, something physical like fireworks could relay messages over a certain distance.

Looking at it this way, Wang Jue, Yu Ji, and Jin Qingjian had all been teleported to the region on the right, while Su Bai alone had been sent to the region on the left.

So be it. Acting alone means I have no one to rely on at my back, but my movements will be more nimble and swift. Su Bai thought.

Su Bai still had absolute confidence in his own combat power.

Relying on Clear Heart Sword Intent's ability to foresee danger, Su Bai traveled upstream along the banks of the Blood River.

Along the way, he was repeatedly attacked by monsters of all kinds within the Blood River, yet he accurately evaded every one of them.

These monster Demonic Beasts were not Demonic Beasts. Their bodies were bizarre in appearance, yet Extremely Powerful, with peculiar abilities. Perhaps they truly were special creatures from another world.

One monster spewed out a sheet of slime that covered dozens of meters along the shore.

It nearly struck Su Bai. Fortunately, Clear Heart Sword Intent's danger prediction ability was exceedingly reliable.

After suffering that attack, Su Bai moved another dozen or so meters farther from the riverbank.

Now Su Bai understood why there were no Disciple from the Three Sects near the shore. It was simply far too dangerous.

Those few waves of attacks from the Blood River Monsters just now would likely have left other Disciple from the Three Sects with no time to fully activate their Teleportation Marks before they Died and Dao Dissipated.

"Though it's dangerous, the rewards are fragrant. The closer I get to the Red River, the more spirit medicines there are, and the higher their grades become."

"Everyone else's forbidden zone is my profit zone!"

Su Bai's eyes lit up. More than twenty meters from the Red River, he discovered another Second-tier Spirit Medicine worth seventy or eighty Spirit Stones.

Su Bai used the Feather Fall Technique to approach, swiftly picked it, then withdrew from the riverbank.

This was the second Second-tier Spirit Medicine Su Bai had found while traveling along the shore.

After half an hour passed, the sun should already have set in the outside world. Yet within the Blood River Secret Realm, everything remained the same, and the sky was still blood-red.

"There are more and more spirit medicines. I should have left the Lower Reaches of the Red River by now."

Su Bai weighed the Storage Bag in his hand. It had already been filled to the brim by him.

Su Bai tucked that Storage Bag into his clothes, then took out another empty Storage Bag and hung it at his waist.

"Hmm? A Third-tier Spirit Medicine, Blood Infant Fruit, worth five or six hundred Spirit Stones?" Su Bai swept his gaze around and swiftly locked onto a Third-tier Spirit Medicine only two or three meters from the shore!

Su Bai was about to step forward and pick it, but Clear Heart Sword Intent suddenly gave him an unprecedented sense of fatal danger.

If Su Bai dared to approach, he would surely die!

Su Bai immediately halted. At that moment, footsteps and an urgent shout came from the opposite side: "That bastard from the Jade Mist Sect, don't move! We of Biyou Palace discovered this Blood Infant Fruit first!"
