After saying that, Lu Chen pulled out Hundred Refinements Saber, and the blade of the knife drew a heart-stopping cold light in the dim skylight.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, took a step out, and his whole body was like a pebble thrown into the lake, quietly blending into the thick Blood Mist.

Chen Ying's eyes flashed with disdain, but he still followed closely.

The other five people immediately followed, and the figures of the seven people were soon completely swallowed up by the boundless blood.

As soon as you enter Blood Mist, an indescribable sense of stickiness and depression comes from all directions.

It was as if the whole person was soaked in warm plasma, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Underfoot, there is no longer a hard bluestone road, but a thick layer of dark red Fungal Carpet made of unknown materials that is as smooth as mud.

When you step on it, it makes a disgusting sound of "puff, puff".

"Watch your steps!" Lu Chen's voice came from the front with a hint of solemnity. "These things are alive and will actively entangle living creatures!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Monkey felt his ankle tighten. When he looked down, he saw that the dark red Fungal Carpet was actually squirming like a living creature. Countless tiny blood-colored tentacles were tightly wrapped around his boots, trying to get into them!

He was startled and subconsciously wanted to chop with the knife.

"Don't use the knife!" Lu Chen's voice came again, "Use your internal force to shake it open! If you keep cutting it with the knife, it will stimulate its crazy growth."

Sun Monkey Hearing this, he quickly put away the knife, poured a pure internal force into his legs, and shook violently!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, those bloody tentacles seemed to have been hit hard, and they instantly relaxed and retracted into Fungal Carpet.

Chen Ying looked at this scene, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he could not help but restrain himself from the contempt for Lu Chen in his heart.

This guy... doesn't seem to be just relying on luck, as the rumors say.

The team pushed forward with difficulty in the sticky Blood Mist.

All around, the originally blurry figures gradually became clearer.

They were monsters that had long lost their human form.

They used to be residents here, but now their bodies are as dry as firewood, their skin is an abnormal dark red, and the nails on their fingers have become black and sharp, like animal claws.

Their eyes were replaced by a cloud of blood, their mouths opened unnaturally to reveal the jagged teeth inside, and a low, meaningless roar like a beast came from their throats.

These are Blood Slave.

They wandered aimlessly in Blood Mist, like sharks smelling the smell of blood. After noticing the seven living "sources of life" of Lu Chen's group, their turbid blood-colored pupils turned around in unison!

"Roar--!!!"

The dozen or so Blood Slave closest to them let out a neat roar, got down on all fours, like hunting hounds, turned into a dozen blood-colored arrows that left their strings, and rushed towards everyone crazily!

"Form up! Defend!"

Lu Chen's voice remained calm, but Hundred Refinements Saber in his hand moved at this moment!

He did not retreat, but instead took a step forward. The long knife in his hand drew a seemingly ordinary arc in front of him.

<Demon Suppressing Saber Technique> in the state of perfection!

There was no flash of sword, no sound of wind.

But in the space where the blade passed through, there was an extremely subtle distortion in the air.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

The three-headed Blood Slave rushing at the front didn't even have time to get close, as if they hit an invisible wall. Their bodies stiffened suddenly, and then a smooth line of blood split open from their chests!

Without any stagnation, their upper and lower bodies separated so strangely, splitting into two parts, and fell heavily on top of that disgusting Fungal Carpet!

Kill three slaves with one sword!

Clean and neat, not even a trace of unnecessary movement!

Zhao Da Niu and others who were following him felt their eyes blurred as the three menacing Blood Slave turned into pieces on the ground!

They didn't even see how Lu Chen used the knife!

"What a... such a fast knife!" An old man Imperial Guard couldn't help but exclaimed.

Even Chen Ying, who had always been proud and arrogant, his pupils suddenly shrank at this moment, and his face showed a solemn expression for the first time.

He asked himself... he couldn't take this knife!

Lu Chen made great achievements without any pause. His voice was like cold steel, ringing in everyone's ears.

"Three in front and four in back! Zhao Da Niu Sun Monkey Protect the two wings! Centurion Chen, please... move to the back!"

This instruction was clear and unambiguous, instantly allowing the somewhat panicked team to find its backbone.

Everyone subconsciously followed his instructions and quickly formed a diamond-shaped battle formation that was both offensive and defensive.

Lu Chen, like the sharpest arrow, stands alone at the front of the team!

The Hundred Refinements Saber in his hand turned into an insurmountable line of death defense.

Every time it is swung, it will inevitably take away the life of one or several Blood Slave.

There is nothing fancy about his sword skills, only the ultimate efficiency and precision.

Cutting horizontally, slashing diagonally, stabbing straight...

Every movement seems to have been refined thousands of times, no more, no less.

Those brave Blood Slave who were not afraid of death were as fragile as the autumn harvest wheat, falling in pieces under his knife.

Behind him, Zhao Da Niu and others also calmed down and formed a battle formation to block all Blood Slave coming from the two wings and rear.

For a moment, the light of the sword intertwined with the shadow of blood, and the sound of roars and the clanging of gold and iron could be heard endlessly!

Seven people actually withstood the most violent impact in this endless wave of Blood Slave!

However, the number of Blood Slave is too much.

It seems endless, coming from all directions Blood Mist.

The fierce battle lasted no more than a stick of incense. Except for Lu Chen, who was still breathing calmly, the other six people had begun to sweat on their foreheads, were breathing rapidly, and their internal energy was extremely consumed.

"No! If this continues, we will be eaten alive here!" Chen Ying forced Blood Slave back with a sword, and shouted with an ugly face, "We must find a way to break out!"

"Shut up!" Lu Chen's voice remained as cold as ever, "Hold your formation! Trust me!"

As he spoke, his mind sank into his mind.

[Kill Blood Slave and obtain Demon Devil Lifespan for 8 months.]

[Kill Blood Slave and get Demon Devil Lifespan for 11 months.]

[Kill Blood Slave and get Demon Devil Lifespan for 6 months.]

The system's beeps flashed across the screen in his mind.

Demon Devil Lifespan is skyrocketing at an unprecedented speed!

In the blink of an eye, it has exceeded the century mark!

"Now!"
