Chapter 939: Hidden Realms (1)
Li Xiaofei had felt something similar. He got the impression that the blood-red desert seemed alive, as if it had eyes that were slowly opening and staring at them.
Li Xiaofei also sensed the Blood-Drinking Sword vibrating slightly. It felt as though it could not wait to emerge and drink its fill of fresh blood. This blood-red Gobi had truly been bizarre and strange.
Even Li Xiaofei had felt waves of trepidation. His gaze had searched the crowd. He had wanted to see exactly where Zhu Zhixun and the others were hiding. Yet he had found nothing.
The good news was that the Blood Flow Gobi was not very large, and at the pace they had been walking on the road, they would be able to traverse it in about ten days.
This strange land had only been rated as a stage five danger zone because the Reaper had opened up a safe road. Without those roads, the danger level of the Blood Flow Gobi would have easily reached level seven.
Everyone remained on high alert. Wei Xiaotian had remained silent throughout the journey. On the third day, the Dusa clan, which had been leading the way, suddenly stopped.
"There is blood."
"A pool of blood water is blocking the road."
Someone came up to report.
Ahead of the safe road, in a low-lying area, fresh blood had seeped through the surface and formed a small pond that had submerged the road.
Blood water gurgled out, as if from a spring. A pungent, bloody stench spread from it, along with a sense of extreme danger. Li Xiaofei felt his hair stand on end. It felt as though some world-ending beast lay hidden in that small pool of blood water, ready to open its massive jaws at any moment and devour him.
The group stopped advancing. The Grand Princess gathered the leaders of the six major Kings clans and started to discuss something. Meanwhile, Li Xiaofei kept his gaze fixed on the pool of blood water. He gradually found the shimmering red surface to be rather dizzying.
