Long Zhanye continued the analysis, "Simple inference, this Hell Road..."

"It's not just the passage out of Slaughter City, it's more likely..."

"The core of the special 'field' of Slaughter City, or the source of its power!"

He turned to the Narrow Path stretching into the darkness. "This Narrow Path should be the so-called Hell Road."

"How long it is and where it leads are unknown. But we can be sure that the test of Hell Road is not as simple as just walking along this road."

"The area of Blood Pool below is vast and bottomless. It is very likely that there are some terrifying existences that rely on blood and evil energy to survive, or that they themselves contain poison."

"It is absolutely not advisable to go downstairs. The best way to leave here is to follow this Narrow Path to the end!"

At this time.

Long Zhanye's excellent psychological quality is fully reflected.

Faced with such a strange, strange, and deadly threat environment.

Most people would have been panicked and eager to escape from this lonely platform immediately.

But Long Zhanye does not.

Instead, he sat down cross-legged in the center of the round platform, closed his eyes, and began to calm down.

Run Soul Power, adjust the breath, and repair the wounds and consumption caused by the previous battle.

He knows.

What we are about to face may be a more dangerous and treacherous test than Hell Slaughter Arena.

Maintaining the best physical and mental condition is much more important than rushing forward blindly.

Especially here.

Soul Skill is still suppressed by that inexplicable domain power.

The only things you can rely on are the non-Soul Skill methods you have honed in Slaughter City.

A whole hour.

He was in the center of this dangerous platform, immersed in cultivation.

Tang San stayed by his side loyally, watching the surrounding darkness and abyss vigilantly.

When Long Zhanye opened his eyes again, the fatigue in his eyes had faded a lot.

He stood up slowly, moved his hands and feet, and felt that Soul Power had recovered a little in his body and the wounds were still aching.

"Let's go, Tang San." He greeted and took the lead to step on the suspended Narrow Path, which was only half a foot wide.

Tang San roared low and followed him vigorously.

Its size is much larger than Long Zhanye, and walking on this Narrow Path looks even more thrilling.

But its steps are extremely steady, with its four claws clasped on Narrow Path, as if it were walking on flat ground.

Long Zhanye walked in front, eyes slightly narrowed, Double Pupil flashed in the dim light, staring ahead.

Although his Double Pupil can penetrate a certain degree of darkness and fog.

But in this Hell Road special environment, the line of sight is also greatly restricted.

I could only barely see about a kilometer ahead.

Farther away.

It was a blurry and twisted dark red, slowly squirming as if alive.

His hands naturally drooped on both sides of his body, and his fingertips gently touched the Storage Belt at his waist, ready to take out the Soul Tool inside at any time.

In this way, he maintained a steady rhythm and a highly vigilant posture.

Carrying Tang San, he moved forward slowly, and his figure was gradually engulfed by the dark red mist surging in front of him.

The circular platform behind it quickly disappeared from sight and perception.

There was dead silence all around.

There was only the slight friction sound from Narrow Path under my feet, as well as the sound of my own slightly heavy breathing and heartbeat.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and an indescribable smell of rust and decay.

The temperature seemed to be a little higher than on the platform, with a sweltering heat.

Time passed by with careful steps.

Long Zhanye Counts the steps silently in his heart. This is a way to stay awake and have a sense of direction.

"Three hundred and sixty-four steps..." he thought silently in his mind.

At this moment.

He was keenly aware that the surrounding environment seemed to be undergoing subtle changes.

The air became hotter, no longer the stuffy heat before.

Instead, it was as hot as being close to a stove. Even breathing became a little difficult, and the air inhaled had a burning sensation.

Moreover, the dead silence that had been surrounding them was broken.

far away.

From the depths of the surging dark red mist, there were some extremely subtle but real sounds.

The sound was hard to describe, like something sliding slowly in a viscous liquid.

It's like hard carapace rubbing against each other, mixed with a low hissing sound that seems to come from deep in the throat...

The sound seems to come from more than one place, and... it's coming from far away!

Their target... seems to be them!

Long Zhanye's heart was ringing with alarm bells, and his pace quietly slowed down.

His body tensed slightly, and Double Pupil's light condensed, trying to see clearly what the approaching threat was.

"Be careful." He whispered to Tang San behind him, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Tang San also stopped moving forward, lowered his body, and let out a deeper and threatening grunt from his throat.

The dark green flame ignited slightly, and the manes on his neck stood up, ready to fight at any time.

"I understand why it feels like it's getting hotter."

As he spoke, he kept scanning the rolling dark red below with Double Pupil, "Blood Pool below... is closer to us."

Tang San heard this and turned his head in surprise, trying to look into the abyss next to him.

But its vision is also limited in this special environment and distance.

At a glance.

All I saw was an endless dark red whirlpool, and a strong sense of dizziness suddenly hit me, as if I was about to be sucked into the abyss!

It quickly retracted its gaze, calmed down, and clasped Narrow Path harder with its four paws, not daring to look at it again.

Long Zhanye analyzed in a deep voice. "I observed it when I first set foot on Narrow Path."

"The Blood Pool below is about a thousand meters vertically away from the Narrow Path plane where we are."

"And now... this distance has shortened significantly. I estimate it has been shortened to 900 meters, or even less!"

"That's why the temperature is rising significantly."

He paused and looked at the endless Narrow Path ahead. "If the temperature continues and increases significantly as we continue to move forward..."

"Then, I am almost certain that the final section of this Hell Road is probably...

"It will be directly submerged into the Blood Pool below, or in other words, the hot 'liquid'!"

"That will be the beginning of Hell Road's real test, and it will also be the most difficult and fatal stage!"

He just finished speaking.

The buzzing sound in front of me, which was originally only subtle and gradually clear, suddenly became dense and loud!

It's like thousands of bees flapping their wings at the same time, or like some kind of viscous liquid being stirred at high speed!

Buzz--!!!

The sound is approaching quickly!

With Double Pupil's extraordinary vision and dynamic capture capabilities.

Long Zhanye can already see the dark Red Mist air surging in the depths ahead.

There were countless tiny red shadows flying towards them at an astonishing speed, overwhelming the sky!

Not a few, not dozens, not hundreds...

But a group!

They are so densely packed that they cover the sky and the sun, and there are at least thousands of them!

They gather together like a rapidly moving "red cloud" made of blood.

It roared in with a scalp-numbing buzz and a strong fishy wind!

As we got closer, the appearance of these flying creatures was finally clearly visible.

Those are bats that are all blood red!

The appearance is similar to the one seen before on the ground of Hell Slaughter Arena.

The pattern of the huge bat totem outlined by blood is almost exactly the same, just several times smaller!
