The Offering
Behind the stone gate lies a long, dark passage.
While the other members of the team were walking alone in their respective black passages, Han Dong released everything inside his body, creating quite a scene.
Clang, clang...
The Hell Monk Togu, dragging heavy iron chains with both arms, walked at the back of the group. If anything unusual happened behind them, Togu would bear the brunt of it with his own body.
Han Dong kept his Lesser Demon Eye active and walked at the front so he could spot the traps hidden in the passageway as soon as possible.
Having mastered the Shadow Stream, Chen Li is now able to merge her body into the shadows, much like Senior Sister Zhen...
The difference is that Chen Li relies more on ' Yin Energy '.
The process of disappearing is more like the ghosts in some horror movies, turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing into the darkness.
As for Nicole, she was sandwiched in the middle of the team, gently hooking Han Dong's hand with a pink suction cup tentacle that grew from her waist...
Nicole felt very uncomfortable in the alternate dimension created by the Blood God.
"There are so many traps... I hope they're all safe and sound."
With the almost cheating ability of the Magic Eye, all kinds of traps are completely meaningless to Han Dong.
Ten minutes later, we safely passed through the passage and arrived at a small room.
Please use your body to replace the offerings for the blood sacrifice.
The following sentence is engraved on the stone wall directly opposite.
There is a hole directly below, and Han Dong needs to bring something to exchange for the so-called offering.
If the value of the provided items is insufficient, they cannot be redeemed.
Han Dong pointed his magic eye at the cave entrance, trying to find out who was in charge of the transaction inside.
A flash of scarlet red.
Han Dong also had an eyeball marked with a blood-red seal, stared out from inside the cave.
Glug... Han Dong swallowed hard, a little cold sweat breaking out on the back of his neck, as if there was no shortcut.
It appears that a part of the Blood God was behind this deal.
"Indeed, as Captain Lucius said, this is an alternate dimension constructed by the Blood God... It is virtually impossible to find any opportunistic tricks here."
In this equivalent exchange, one must provide 'limbs' of sufficient value in exchange for offerings.
"And the participant is me, not my Contained Object... They must take limbs from me."
Han Dong possesses regenerative capabilities.
Even if the entire right arm is severed, it can Super Fast Regeneration with the help of the G-Virus.
In Han Dong's view, such a practice might not be devout enough... This time, the Scarlet Hall has shown a strong religious color from the very beginning.
The ultimate goal of this banquet was to find the blood wine.
However, from a deeper perspective, it is more likely that the Blood God was testing the new lord, a test with strong religious overtones.
Only absolute devotion can bring the most genuine response.
"Since the Blood God is overseeing this death race... let's use whatever methods it prefers to pass it."
gibberish...
A dark, spotted tentacle slowly emerged from Han Dong's palm.
When the tentacles reached half a meter in length, Han Dong made a ruthless decision and forcibly severed them off...
Wow!!
This pain, which went straight to the bone and penetrated to the soul, almost made Han Dong break his teeth.
His body trembled slightly, and he was immediately supported by Togu.
Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead...
The pain of severing the tentacles was more than ten times greater than the Affliction of cutting off Han Dong's arm.
While the detached tentacles still possessed some vitality, Han Dong quickly inserted them into the cave entrance.
A bloody hand immediately appeared on the other side of the cave entrance, took the tentacle, and let out a faint laugh of delight.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying, torn mouth without any lip structure was pressed against the opening.
"The items you have given in exchange far exceed the value of the offerings. We will give you additional items as compensation."
An arm covered in Blood Filaments stretched out from the cave.
Spread your fingers.
Two special props are placed in the palm of the hand.
A Blood Diamond and a serrated key inlaid with a small Blood Diamond gem.
Clearly, the key was an unexpected find, while the Blood Diamond was the offering needed to Door Opening.
Since obtaining offerings did not require fighting, Han Dong temporarily returned Togu and his group to the prison, leaving only Nicole as a pink octopus lurking inside his body.
"Hmm, Captain Lucius, you're so fast?"
When Han Dong returned to the hall, he found that Captain Lucius had gone ahead of him.
Han Dong made no time wasted throughout the entire process, and the exchange of offerings was also quite decisive.
"Since it is a test of racing against time, we must pass the test in the shortest possible time."
I used my cursed blood to directly exchange for offerings... The few blood-soaked creatures that appeared along the way were easily dealt with."
A short while later.
The six people gathered in the hall, each holding a Blood Diamond.
The most dangerous was Abel.
Abel transformed into a white wolf, a Blood Diamond dangling from his mouth, and leaped out of the passage.
A giant bloody hand that had been chasing after them seemed unable to catch up and could only stop at the stone gate... before collapsing into a pool of blood that was absorbed into the ground.
They obtained all the offerings without any major incident.
After being inserted into the corresponding grooves on the stone gate, the giant stone gate sank into the ground.
This time, the corresponding passageway became spacious, even bright... illuminated by a skull-shaped candle embedded in the wall, placed in a recess.
The group is heading deeper into the Scarlet Hall.
Upon exiting through the passage, you will arrive at the main hall again, where specific conditions are required to proceed further.
"Bai Ming San Gui" - a strange English inscription is engraved on the stone wall.
On the massive stone gate directly below the characters, a strange three-headed creature is engraved.
The heads of the three beings are in a state of 'empty grooves'.
As before, you need to enter the corresponding item for the door to open.
On the side of the current room, a distinctive stone door is open, with the Arabic numeral - [3] clearly marked at the top.
"It seems that only three people are allowed to enter. After passing a certain test, they will obtain the item to open the stone door... This time it should be a cooperative test."
Lucius immediately made a decision. "Then the three of us knights will go in... You can wait here."
"Etc..."
Han Dong seemed to realize something was wrong.
"Once our team is split up like this, it will all be three-person teams... Seniors, once you enter, you will undergo some kind of test."
Those of us who remain here may also face some kind of test.
Let's distribute our strength as evenly as possible.
"Hmm... Jane, you stay. Nicholas, you come with us..."
"OK."
This is exactly the result Han Dong wanted.
The claim that staying outside is dangerous is just an excuse...
During this Red Banquet, Han Dong must personally witness the entire process of Lucius being recognized and knighted.
