The poisoned person was coughing up large amounts of blood, and what was expelled was already completely black blood.
Moreover, black blood was also flowing from his five orifices.
“Mr. Lu, I’ve said all I needed to say. Please, I beg you, save me.”
The man’s eyes had already turned black, and he was completely blind.
He reached out his hand, trying to grab Lu Yu.
However, everything was now a blur, making it impossible to catch hold of anything.
Lu Yu raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air. All the black liquid within the person’s blood floated up, gathering together in midair to form a dark, swirling sphere.
The human body that was poisoned does not contain the toxin anymore; however, the poisoning was too severe, and the person’s vital energy has already dropped to its limit.
His flesh and blood were struggling to recover. Fortunately, his vitality was strong, and his eyes began to regain their sight.
Lu Yu looked at the nine entrances on the four walls and said, “Tell me, which entrance did they go through?”
The poisoned man raised his hand and pointed at the first entrance on the left.
Lu Yu casually flicked the black ball floating in the air to one side and said, “If you still want to get in, don’t bother me, otherwise if you get poisoned by me, you won’t have another chance to find an antidote.”
“No, absolutely not going in again,” the poisoned man shook his head violently, his voice trembling as he said, “Not even if you paid me now. The snake people here are too terrifying.”
The poisoned person’s eyes were filled with terror.
That was a fear only encountered when coming into contact with the snake people.
Feng Xiaobao looked at Lu Yu and said, “Mr. Lu, shall we also go through that entrance?”
“Yeah, let’s go in and check it out.” Lu Yu nodded and said, “They’ve already scouted ahead, so they should have cleared away any trouble. We can move in faster now.”
Lu Yu walked toward the entrance pointed by the poisoned person while speaking.
Feng Xiaobao took a couple of steps and chased after him.
This is a ten-meter-wide, semi-circular arched passageway.
Along the way, there were countless snake carcasses and human bodies.
The passage continued to extend downward, delving deeper and deeper underground.
Lu Yu and Feng Xiaobao kept accelerating their pace.
However, soon both of them discovered that the path ahead was a dead end.
Ahead lay hard rock and bloodstains covering the ground.
In the corner of the wall lay a large pile of snake carcasses, along with several human bodies.
The blood from a corpse was particularly striking.
Because the blood he shed was golden.
Lu Yu has fought against people like that. When the blood of a Divine Servant turns completely golden, it signifies that they have unleashed their full divine power, representing their most supreme strength.
If this person were a divine servant descended from the Spirit Star, his strength might have already reached the level of the golden-haired man he had fought.
If even this has died, just how powerful are these snake people here?
Feng Xiaobao stepped forward, stripped all the belongings from the corpses, put everything away, and then began to smash the stone wall with his ear pressed against it, listening intently.
“It’s solid,” Feng Xiaobao said angrily. “We’ve been tricked. That half-dead guy must have been lying to us.”
“No, it shouldn’t be solid. It’s just thick enough.” Lu Yu pressed his hand against the stone wall and suddenly exerted force.
Boom——
The entire passage was moving, shaking.
The stone wall was undamaged, as if it were connected to the passageway, forming a dead end.
Hmph!
The stone wall beside the two suddenly split open, and one by one, human figures dashed out from within.
These people all exuded an aura of kings, and their attacks carried a grayish aura of death.
Lu Yu turned around, his figure swirling as the Demon King’s fury was unleashed.
Boom.
He exchanged a powerful blow with his opponent.
The blue flame landed on the opponent’s body, yet the figure remained completely still. Suddenly, it changed tactics and launched another punch.
Buzz.
The demonic energy condensed, and the power of the King’s Skill was compressed within the narrow passageway, its force amplified several times over as it hurtled toward Lu Yu’s head.
Lu Yu’s hand trembled slightly, and the Starlight Sword appeared in his grasp. He activated it directly.
The Starlight Sword is composed of a billion sword blades and is inherently extremely heavy.
The sword traced a streak of starlight through the air; its heavy blade pierced through the skill, and a barrage of sword lights swept toward the opponent like a storm.
The sword light slashed onto the opponent’s body and pierced through directly.
Ignoring all consequences, the figure dashed out, even after half of their body had been pierced by the sword light.
It was only at this moment that Lu Yu got a clear look at the other person’s face.
This was a half-decayed face, wearing ancient clothing he had never seen before, with a pair of dull, grayish eyes and dark aura swirling around.
This is definitely not a living person, but a dead one!
The corridor was barely ten meters long; in such a narrow space, the distance between the two people was too short.
Combined with Wang’s speed and strength.
At such a distance, even if Lu Yu wanted to react again, it would be too late.
The deadly blow struck Lu Yu.
Bang!
Lu Yu was sent flying backward by a punch and crashed into the wall.
At this moment, Feng Xiaobao wasn’t faring much better; he was sent flying by the figure attacking him.
Snap!
The stone wall cracked open again, and several decayed arms reached out together, grabbing Lu Yu’s arms or waist.
Moreover, the black blood dripping from these arms was definitely poisonous. When it fell to the ground, it made a hissing sound and emitted black smoke.
Lu Yu frowned, his body shrouded in black toxic gas, which also fell upon these decaying arms.
The half-decayed arm couldn’t withstand Lu Yu’s potent corrosion at all and shattered instantly.
The first attacker who had targeted Lu Yu also reached him, his half-destroyed body slamming completely into Lu Yu before he detonated himself.
Boom! Boom!
The corridor shook, and the shockwave surged like a tsunami.
All the figures that had emerged from the stone walls within this passage were struck by the shockwave, then exploded in a chain reaction.
Shockwave followed shockwave in rapid succession, their powerful force reverberating across the stone wall, continuously intensifying and becoming even more violent.
Lu Yu let out a闷响, and instantly a crack appeared on his body.
On the other side—
Feng Xiaobao raised layer upon layer of distorted light shields, deflecting all the shockwaves aimed at him.
The shockwave transformed into a storm within the passageway, churning the corpses on the ground into blood-soaked mud. It raged inside the passage for several minutes before finally subsiding.
Feng Xiaobao’s light罩was shattered layer by layer, until it was completely crushed, causing him to cough up blood violently.
“No, no, I can’t die. I still have a group of companions to take care of,” Feng Xiao bao gritted his teeth, nearly going crazy as he desperately gathered the power within his body once again to create the protective light shield.
After the storm finally subsided, the two people finally caught their breath.
Feng Xiaobao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “No more playing around. If we do this one more time, I definitely won’t play anymore. I don’t want to die here.”
Lu Yu stared at the spot where the stone wall ended and said, “There are piles of corpses over there—it’s probably a trap. There should have been a path, but it’s been rigged with traps. If it had been an ordinary king just now, he probably would have been completely wiped out by the storm.”
“Shall we still take this path?” Feng Xiaobao looked at the dead end, somewhat hesitating.
“It’s not necessarily a dead end,” Lu Yu said, staring at the spot where the dead body had emerged. “These people couldn’t have been here all along. There must be a hidden passage connected somewhere.”
Several openings had already appeared on both walls, their depths shrouded in darkness.
Lu Yu threw a ninth-level star spirit stone toward the cave entrance.
The light on the ninth-grade star spirit stone was relatively bright. As soon as it was thrown into the stone cave, it immediately illuminated a large area inside.
Lu Yu inhaled sharply, while Feng Xiaobao nearly dropped to the ground in shock.
This stone cave was not formed naturally at all.
It was entirely composed of piled human bones. Some corpses were still decaying, while others had turned into white skeletons, their bones nearly reduced to dust due to the passage of time.
These corpses were carelessly stuffed in here, left to rot away.
Feng Xiaobao was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He stammered, “I… I dare not! I won’t go over there again. What if, halfway through, I get entangled by these corpses once more? I’d be finished!”
Lu Yu had such concerns as well. He fully understood the intimidating effect such a place could have on a child.
Lu Yu said, “If you want to turn back now, I won’t object. But as for me, I’m going to keep going—I want to find out exactly what’s in here.”
Feng Xiaobao turned around and wanted to leave.
But he immediately hesitated again, turning back several times, and finally, with a gloomy face and gritting his teeth, he said: “I’ll risk it. I’ve never encountered such danger before in my entire life. There must be some treasure within this demonic domain; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such strong defenses.”
Feng Xiaobao was trembling all over, extremely frightened.
But he was still afraid, still moving closer to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu smiled, looking at Feng Xiaobao’s demeanor, and thought that this guy had quite a bit of courage.
After enduring the storm just now, having the courage to continue forward was truly admirable.
If he were still at Feng Xiaobao’s age, he might not necessarily have come this far.
A gloomy cave, along with its nauseating odor inside.
Lu Yu himself felt his scalp tingling with unease.
But he still took a step forward.
When he stepped into the cave, his feet crunched on the ground, making a “kacha kacha” sound.
The ground was also a mix of bones and dirt, and it felt unstable underfoot.
Buzz!
On both sides of the cave entrance, the piled bones of the dead included a skull that twisted in an eerie manner, with ghostly flames flickering in its eye sockets.
The eyes in the still-fresh corpse remain, glowing with a red light.
Snap!
There were a large number of bony hands protruding from the ground.
Then, all the skeletons on the cave walls came to life, struggling to climb up.
Some skeletons were now reduced to just half their original size, yet they were still crawling along the ground, moving toward Lu Yu and Feng Xiao Bao.
“This isn’t fun at all,” Feng Xiaobao said, nearly in tears, his calves cramping.
But he clenched his teeth and refused to run away, instead desperately throwing a punch.
This was a king-level punch that struck the bones within the cave.
A mighty force surged through the cave, shattering the bones within a hundred-zhang radius in a single punch. Moreover, numerous ancient bones, aged over time, were completely pulverized by that one strike.
After throwing this punch, Feng Xiaobao immediately gained confidence.
The scattered bones reassembled themselves. On the cave walls, numerous other skeletons were also forming, then slowly moving toward the passageway.
“Stop waiting. We don’t know how long this will take. Follow me closely and get inside,” Lu Yu said, grabbing Feng Xiaobao and rushing into the cave.
Clang…
All the murderous aura within Lu Yu transformed into a billion sword blades, forming a vast sword net around him.
The sword net resembled a massive grinding millstone, ceaselessly rotating. All the bones within a radius of more than ten zhang around the two individuals were crushed to powder.
The two stepped into the cave and proceeded towards its depths.
Boom!
A skeletal hand reached out from underground and grabbed Lu Yu’s foot.
Lu Yu stepped down hard with his foot.
Boom!
The ground sank nearly a foot, and all the bones within a range of dozens of zhang were crushed to powder.
Hum.
Among the distant piles of bones, several skeletons were enveloped in radiant light, surging towards the sword net with an aura of kingly majesty.
The millstone formed from a net of swords swallowed several skeletons, emitting a grinding, slicing sound like “crunch, crunch.”
Boom!
A skeleton was crushed to death. But his death created a storm, tearing a hole in the sword net.
The remaining three skeletons rushed in and launched attacks immediately upon entering.
Lu Yu and Feng Xiaobao joined forces to take action together.
Three against two, the clash of forces ended in an instant.
The three skeletons, ancient and frail, crumbled under the weight they could no longer bear.
Then, at the moment of shattering, it unleashed a force akin to self-destruction, sweeping outward in all directions.
“Another self-destruction!” Lu Yu’s heart trembled.
Are all the skeletons here designed in a self-destruct mode, using everything they have to prevent others from entering?!
