"So that's how it is!" Hu Liena suddenly understood and murmured, "My lapse just now was because the killing intent here controlled me!"
"Correct! You're teachable." Dai Weisi nodded. "The killing intent here is far too intense. If we inhale too much of it, we may become monsters of slaughter and lose ourselves completely on this Hell Road."
"So that was it. Dai Weisi, thank you for saving me just now!" Hu Liena bowed deeply, thanking him with heartfelt gratitude.
"No need to be polite. After all, we still have to face the enemies ahead together." After a pause, Dai Weisi said impatiently, "All right, this isn't a place to linger. Let's go!"
"That's true."
Hu Liena nodded slightly. The killing intent here was incredibly dense. The longer they stayed, the greater the chance that it would devour their reason. Their top priority was to end this quickly and get out of this damned place.
"I'll take the lead. Follow behind me."
Dai Weisi glanced around. Below the circular platform lay a crimson blood pool that radiated scorching heat. It looked like blood, yet also somewhat like volcanic magma.
Just like Slaughter City, Hell Road was bathed in blood-red light, sending chills down one's spine.
Ahead of them stretched a suspension bridge of unknown length. Dai Weisi no longer hesitated and rushed forward, with Hu Liena close behind him.
After running for who knew how long, Hu Liena was already panting heavily, drenched in fragrant sweat. The farther they went, the hotter the blood pool became, leaving her soaked from head to toe.
But to Dai Weisi, this temperature was hardly worth mentioning. Though Hu Liena was nearly unable to bear the heat, she still ran with all her strength, doing her best to keep pace with him.
"Dai Weisi!"
