Chapter 169 - A Pool of Blood
The girl in pink and Yan Fei ran non stop through the fork.
Yan Fei’s head was lowered and his eyes flashed with a changing expression – no one could read his thoughts.
After a moment, a cold glint flashed in Yan Fei’s eyes as though he had made up his mind about something. Moving forward suddenly, he pinned the girl in pink against the wall.
He raised his arm and choked it around the girl in pink’s throat, almost pressing himself against her entirely.
“Ugh…”
The girl in pink grunted softly and frowned, asking, “What are you doing? It hurts.”
The tender voice of the girl in pink seduced itself into Yan Fei’s heart, causing it to skip a beat. Instinctively, he loosened his grip even though he did not remove his arm still.
Leaning in, Yan Fei stared keenly into the girl in pink’s eyes. He spoke with a warm moisture in his breath, “Demoness Ji, do you really think I’m like those fools of Southern Mountains Sect? You thought that I came to this place because I was bewitched by your charm as well?”
“Perhaps some cultivation techniques or secret skills?”
The girl in pink replied ambiguously, “After all, I’ve never been to this place before too so I don’t know the exact details.”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “But I’ve got a feeling that we’re almost reaching the end.”
In the underground fork road, there was always a thin black fog that emitted a faint smell of blood. As Su Zimo and the girl in pink went deeper, the stench of blood grew thicker.
Su Zimo speculated that even though there were many complex fork roads underground, if they were to head for a single direction, all of those roads would lead to the same endpoint.
True enough.
After walking for a while, Su Zimo and the girl in pink walked out of another fork. The scenery in front of them changed and suddenly became bright.
This was an extremely spacious area. Around them, the mountain walls were steep with many dense cracks – those cracks led to the countless connecting forks outside.
In the middle of this place was a gigantic pool with a sparkling surface – this was where the black fog wafted out from.
Su Zimo focused his gaze and could not help but take a deep breath as chills ran down his spine.
The color of the pool was dark and grisly red!
It was a pool of blood!
How many people’s blood did it take to form such a pool?
The girl in pink looked at the blood pool with a glint and fervor in the depth of her eyes.
