Xue Fuyao watched the Monster Beasts arrive at the place where the Rotting Corpse Demon General was sealed.
Immediately afterward, the Monster Beasts let out agonized screams, and countless cracks appeared across their bodies.
The first Monster Beast's body burst apart into a skyful of bloody mist. Then all the remaining Monster Beasts exploded as well, soon staining the clear waters a reddish black.
Xue Fuyao's expression immediately darkened at the sight.
The clear spirit waterweed she had induced to grow not long ago withered away the instant it came into contact with the filthy blood.
Clearly, this was no ordinary blood. It contained demonic qi.
Xue Fuyao bent down, dipped a finger into the polluted water, and brought it close to her nose. She could still smell a faint, bloody stench.
This was not the scent of pure demonic qi; something else was mixed into it. Presumably, though, this was the Devil Race's contingency plan.
Seeing this, she immediately thought of the other places where members of the Devil Race were sealed. She sent Shadow Five a voice transmission, telling him to dispatch a few puppets to stand guard there so no one could exploit an opening.
Just then, a figure swept swiftly past her and went straight to the center of the polluted waters.
Looking at the waters, whose surface was completely contaminated with blackish-red blood and strewn with floating scraps of flesh, the woman looked utterly devastated.
That expression did not last long.
The woman's expression gradually shifted from devastation to composure, then to resolve.
It was the resolve of someone who had made up her mind and was ready to face death calmly.
Only then did she seem to notice Xue Fuyao's presence.
"Child, this is no place for you. How did you end up here?"
