Chapter 116: Pit Within a Pit
Jin Mingyang rushed forward, thinking that no matter where he teleported to, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity to leave this cursed place.
However, as he got closer to Li Hui, he heard a light "thud" underfoot and felt a familiar sensation return—the Peacock Display Talisman drawing attention. But instead of attracting bees, it summoned hordes of monsters, and instead of butterflies, it drew grotesque aberrations that rushed at him with a terrifying speed, burying him beneath them.
At that moment, Jin Mingyang felt despair; he had fallen into the trap a second time.
“You, you, you outrageous bastard!” His resentment erupted like a volcanic explosion; he wished he could stab a thousand swords into Li Hui. But first, he had to break free and escape.
What a sacrifice from the senior brother, creating favorable conditions for the junior brother—such brotherly love! Li Hui, with the Yin-Yang heads in tow, dashed toward the stone bridge.
Whether to teleport or not, Li Hui hadn’t made up his mind yet; it depended on the rewards. This cave should be called the Chaos Cave; many ancient monsters emerging from the ground appeared incredibly strong. It would likely be challenging to charge through from the Corpse Moth Valley without Jin Mingyang as a backup; only Condensed Essence Stage practitioners could manage it.
Behind him, loud crashes resounded. The more Jin Mingyang struggled, the more monsters charged forward.
The Nine Heads raced ahead, finally covering the remaining fifty zhang to the stone bridge when suddenly, enormous arms erupted from the ground, instantly creating a forest of limbs that looked sinister and terrifying.
“What kind of arms are those? They are definitely not human.”
Li Hui could no longer care; he commanded the eight heads to unleash demonic flames at all costs and clear the way. At the same time, he pulled out his last Peacock Display Talisman and directed it at a muscular monster that had just emerged from the ground.
“Roar, roar, roar…”
The underground roared as the massive arms snatched the monster caught by the Peacock Display Talisman and tore it to pieces in less than an instant.
“How terrifying!” Li Hui trembled in fear, suddenly sensing a massive aura approaching from behind. Without turning around, he knew Yang Jueyu had arrived, and as a Late Condensed Essence practitioner, his power surpassed even Xia Qinghou.
“Kid, you really chose a good spot.” Yang Jueyu smashed aside the monsters that dared to block the way. Truthfully, with the ancient monsters stirring from the depths below, the difficulty of pushing forward increased tenfold. If he hadn’t arrived to share the pressure, Jin Mingyang would have been clawed to death by now.
“This time, whether I want to teleport or not, it looks like I have to.”
The Nine Heads were in a terrible state; their faces were dented inward, and soon, one by one, they rolled onto the ground. Li Hui hurriedly gathered a bit of his remaining strength to use the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique, pulling them back into the bag of treasures.
“Boom…” The world spun, and Li Hui hugged his large head, nearly fainting as he rolled across the ground, awkwardly tumbling onto the stone bridge.
His chest heaved violently, panting for a moment as he noticed Yang Jueyu charging toward him. He didn’t dare to linger any longer and shot forward, grabbing the red glow reward and sliding along the bridge for ten paces, just in time to enter the resounding and powerful blood-red beam.
“A staggered teleportation array? No…” Yang Jueyu shouted as he had just arrived and hadn’t seen any red glow land on the stone bridge or heard any announcement about the teleportation activation.
In that moment, as he watched Li Hui enter the teleportation array, he went completely mad, desperately breaking through obstacles. But when he encountered the enormous arms sprouting from the ground before the stone bridge, a cacophony of roars sounded, blocking his path.
“Damn it!” In Yang Jueyu’s furious gaze, Li Hui’s figure quickly faded away. The entire cave seemed to awaken, with more and more monsters stirring, breaking through the earth and emerging. Many colossal creatures shakily got up, suggesting they were no easy opponents!
After one use, the teleportation array closed immediately.
The stone bridge was still the same bridge, without any adornments. It looked incomplete, seeming like just a section of the bridge surface, as if it had fallen from somewhere. After the teleportation was complete, a crack appeared on the bridge surface; if it exceeded six cracks, the entire bridge would likely shatter.
Yang Jueyu pulled Jin Mingyang out of the cave, his expression dark as he said, “This is a staggered teleportation array; it will activate again. You need to spread the word and gather as many practitioners as possible to charge through. I’ll go search for other true disciples of the Jade Symbol Sect. Li Hui, humph, when we meet next, let’s see if you’re still so fortunate.”
At that moment, the fortunate Li Hui sat on a broken bridge, staring blankly at his surroundings.
Blood, it was all blood! No matter how he looked around, there was no end in sight. The smell of blood pulsed with the faint tides. This place could be described as a sea of blood; aside from the half-submerged arch bridge beneath him, his vision was filled with thick, red fluid, and even the sky was red, creating overwhelming pressure and tension.
“Great misfortune! I’d rather have teleported to the Blood Phantasm Maze than to this place!”
“What is this? A pit within a pit? An evil cycle? Where am I supposed to go? Who knows if there are vicious monsters lurking in this sea of blood. Right, the reward.”
Li Hui suddenly remembered he had grabbed a ball of red glow before the teleportation and hadn’t yet had a chance to look!
He strained to haul over a black box from the side. The red glow felt weightless, but when he reached in, it turned into a heavy black box.
Logically, this box was only about one foot high and two feet long; even if filled with gold, it shouldn’t be this heavy, yet it truly was. Hauling it over almost exacerbated his injuries and made him spit blood.
“If only I had the embroidered ball; it could help me see if the box is dangerous. The Nine Heads have reconnaissance ability, but no ability to see through. Everything here seems related to Demon Cultivators, and if this reward is made by them, it might be just as much of a trap.” Li Hui began to dig through the items inside, prioritizing his healing.
Before long, the arch bridge was filled with bottles and jars, but ordinary elixirs didn’t help with his injuries at all. Fortunately, he had stored a considerable amount of Liu Su water and Tianyi water, so he had no choice but to once again play the role of an alchemist.
“Hmm?” Li Hui was taken aback when he unexpectedly found ten bottles of Revitalizing Ginseng and Deer Antler Pills, each with at least four Pill Patterns, possessing the ability to extend life.
“Not bad! I can’t believe such good things were transported in from outside. Just for these ten bottles of Revitalizing Ginseng and Deer Antler Pills, I can’t say I picked the wrong place to act.”
Preparing the containers and elixirs, Li Hui endured the pain to refine the pills. Of course, he was only concentrating and processing; he knew nothing about alchemy in practice.
Even so, with the powerful capabilities of the Clear Void Cup, he condensed ten bottles of Revitalizing Ginseng and Deer Antler Pills into six pills, achieving nine Pill Patterns. Just the fragrance from the pills made him feel slightly better.
“What’s wrong?” Li Hui suddenly noticed that the only Yin-Yang head that had survived nearby was trembling slightly. He quickly connected with the magical dragon eyes and saw a surprising scene.
In the distance, waves began to ripple across the surface of the sea, forming layers of blood waves in an instant.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from the sea, several times larger than a calf—not one or two, but thousands of them leaping out of the sea, racing toward the broken bridge.
“What the hell is that? Carp? With so many flesh tumors on their heads. I’ve truly come to the wrong place, this is a pit within a pit, a cursed place specifically for trapping people!”
