Chapter 97
Giant rocks kept falling from above. The cracks on the ground looked so serious that it seemed the whole world would be torn apart.
Bang!
Another blast. Suddenly, they lost their balance and started to fall, then reached solid ground and started to tumble.
The demons’ crazy attacks went on. Jiang Chen came to know what desperation really was, but soon he found a stone ladder under the crack.
By then, the shaking was getting weaker. Jiang Chen ran down the ladder with others, although he was in pain and didn’t know what was ahead. They couldn’t think of a thing, but kept running, because the demons had also swarmed onto the ladder. They would in no way give up their pursuit.
They saw a long corridor at the end of the ladder. The space was illuminated by torches on the walls.
Soon, they came to a three-way fork, so they split into three groups.
They had to give up when they saw Jiang Chen was irritated. Then they walked towards the stone door.
Unbelievable.
Jiang Chen put the book into his mustardseed ring, not because it was priceless, but as he had said, it could contain instructions on how to leave.
However, something suddenly occurred to him. He felt he was being targeted specially by the demons during the escape.
In the beginning, he had thought it was only an illusion, but this feeling became even stronger when they were pushing against the door.
“Low-level demons are loyal to demon lords. I killed the demon lord. Do they want revenge for his death? But how did they know that I killed the demon lord?”
Jiang Chen tried to search for the answer in the books he had read and soon figured out why.
It was because of the blood bead of the demon lord!
Only demon lords could form blood beads. It was the source of their great power.
Whoever kills a demon lord will take his blood bead. If the energy of the blood bead isn’t absorbed in time, other demons will sense it.
He recalled what he had read in a book. Jiang Chen immediately examined his body and found a blood bead in his Qihai.
No wonder. If I don’t absorb it in time, it will be an invitation to those demons. They’ll know wherever I’m hiding.
Jiang Chen looked over to the door still under attack by the demons and took some panaceas immediately. Then he sat down to exert his martial arts method.
Little by little, the bead started to melt. At the same time, he felt a weaker hatred from the demons.
His state had also enhanced thanks to the bead.
No wonder so many people kill demons in the Alien Battlefield.
Jiang Chen was really lucky. He would in no way have been able to kill a demon lord if that one hadn’t been that weak. And he received a blood bead of the demon lord that even those in the Mental Wander State lusted for.
I’m already very close to the completed late stage.
Jiang Chen stood up. Suddenly, he saw a split on the wood lump on the door. He was given a scare and hurried to walk towards the stone door.
Behind the stone door was a passage that had never been finished. Only half of it was paved with flagstones. In the second half, the ground was quite rough and difficult to walk on.
Where is everyone?
Jiang Chen felt uneasy, since his companions had suddenly disappeared. He couldn’t hear a thing.
“Hello!” Jiang Chen shouted, but no one responded. He could only hear his own echo.
“Stay calm.” Jiang Chen took out his Redcloud Sword. He kept walking slowly, staying in the light emitted from his sword.
