Lin Han felt a strong sense of unease, as if someone had deliberately led them to this place. Qin Luoxi, following closely behind, voiced her doubts.
"It's fine. Since someone wants to draw us here, let's see who is behind this," Lin Han replied, his mind racing with thoughts about everything they had encountered along the way.
Not far ahead, a large pool of blood suddenly caught their attention. Lin Han and Qin Luoxi exchanged glances before approaching it.
The blood was smeared across the ground, congealed and dry. How could the Bloodthirsty Bears, known for their ferocity, not have noticed this after such a long time?
Qin Luoxi couldn't help but speak up. "I have a feeling that not long ago, this place must have been infused with some kind of energy."
"You're right. We can continue in this direction," Lin Han said solemnly. He couldn't determine what had caused the bloodstains yet, so they would have to proceed cautiously.
To their surprise, the bloodstains on the ground were becoming more numerous, forming a straight line ahead of them.
"Lin Han, there are more bloodstains around, and they’re fresh!" Qin Luoxi exclaimed suddenly.
The six directions around them resembled a grand ritual.
Lin Han's senses were exceptionally sharp. The scent of blood wafting from various directions filled his mind.
In the next moment, both of them suddenly stopped and gazed at an open area not far away.
Several black lines lay in the center, where a few Beast Masters from the Furious Lion Academy were sprawled on the ground in bizarre positions.
Their bodies bore deep and shallow wounds, and it was almost certain that those bloodlines were left by them.
At that moment, the murmurs coming from their mouths sounded like incantations being chanted.
Their bodies twisted in sync with the incantation's rhythm, their heads and necks cracking with bone-snapping sounds.
Despite this, they seemed oblivious to their own condition, continuing to move their bodies restlessly.
Buzz! Hoo!
Lin Han furrowed his brow as strange sounds echoed in his mind, reminiscent of eerie whispers.
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out as one of the Beast Masters raised his Wu Lan and stabbed it into his own head!
The sharp sword pierced through his skull, and blood gushed forth in torrents.
What was astonishing was that instead of spreading outwards, the blood slowly gathered together like raindrops suspended in the air around them.
What should we do? Qin Luoxi stood beside Lin Han, fully prepared.
"Wait a moment," Lin Han said in a low voice.
At this moment, his mind was filled with waves of crimson light, bringing sensations of Frenzy and Bloodthirsty Bear, entirely different from the aura of Gui Chi. This realization eased his mind; as long as these individuals were not colluding with the Qingming Sect, there was still a chance for redemption. After all, the Star Dragon Empire did not have strict regulations against religious beliefs. Those who worshipped the Sea God Trident, for instance, would likely remain uninvolved unless something unexpected occurred.
At that moment, several others began to widen their own wounds, and the blood flowed like mist, engulfing the entire clearing.
"They're coming!" Lin Han spoke in a grave tone, his expression turning serious. He didn't even need to watch the ritual to sense the presence of something.
In the next instant, a monster clad in crimson armor slowly descended from the Sky Dome. The creature had no discernible face, only several sheets of iron covering its head.
The blood began to gather around it, flowing between the plates of armor like blood coursing through veins.
Lin Han immediately activated his Creation Eye to investigate the attributes of this monster.
