Volume 1 The Nanzhou Rebellion Chapter 50 Strange Blood Beads
Following the bloodstains all the way, more and more into the deep mountains, the surrounding woods have become more dense, and the surrounding weeds are overgrown, and the traces of people are rare.
As time passed, the white fog of the mountains and forests slowly dissipated, and the visibility was much wider, which provided a lot of help to Chen Hao in finding bloodstains.
An hour later, Chen Hao came to the vicinity of a big mountain, and the bloodstains he had tracked all the way disappeared here.
"Looks like this is the place. Chen Hao said secretly, and after using a hidden qi talisman, he began to look for it in the mountains.
After searching the neighborhood, a hidden cave was found in a mountainside, surrounded by dampness, the entrance of the cave was dark, cold, and covered with moss.
After looking outside the cave, he closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense to enter the cave, and after a while, Chen Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his face was full of anger, and he hurriedly entered the cave.
After entering, Chen Hao took out a handful of spirit stones from the ring, and every time he walked a certain distance, he drove the spirit stones into the cave wall for lighting.
With the help of the glimmer of light emitted by the spirit stone, it can be found that there are some messy footprints on the ground, most of which are animal footprints, and there are also some human footprints.
While inlaying the spirit stone for lighting, he hurriedly moved forward, walked a hundred zhang distance, and suddenly a huge space appeared in front of him, Chen Hao waved his hands, the spirit stone splashed, and suddenly, the entire space was covered with spirit stones, illuminating the surroundings.
Through the light of the spirit stones, you can see that there are some jagged stone pillars on the ground, these stone pillars are all like bamboo shoots, with sharp tops, and are regularly distributed around.
Some of the stone pillars also had some corpses inserted into them, piercing from the top of the stone pillars, running through the entire body, and blood flowing down the stone pillars.
The corpses, both men and women, young and old, all with frightened expressions on their faces, were dressed in muffled bodies, and it was clear that these were the villagers who had been taken captive.
On the edge of the stone pillar, there were dozens of dried corpses lying around, their bodies were shriveled and withered, waving and twisting like twisted flowers, looking extremely terrifying, before, Chen Hao sensed the situation here with his spiritual sense, so his face showed anger, and he hurriedly came in to check.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart, extremely uncomfortable, and he quickly stepped forward, took down the remains of everyone, placed them together, and then put them away with a ring to prepare for burial in the future.
After doing this, Chen Hao began to look around, through observation, he found which stone pillars were arranged according to a certain law, and there was a groove under each stone pillar, connected together, constructed into a complex pattern, the blood on these stone pillars flowed into these grooves, and some black dried matter could be found on it, obviously dried blood.
In the middle of the pattern there is also a square platform the size of a zhang, three feet high, and a square groove above the platform, which is filled with viscous blood.
Each of the platforms is carved with a simple symbol, composed of a few brushstrokes, and a faint blood light emits from it, which looks strange in a flash.
Above the platform, a bead-like object was formed in the center, floating above the platform, and the blood at the bottom condensed like a filament, forming a fist-like blood bead that was as red as jade, and there was a layer of blood-colored halo on the surface of the blood bead, forming a light mask to guard the blood beads in it.
Looking at this blood bead, Chen Hao understood that this bead should be condensed through blood, as for what it was, he didn't know, he watched for a while, and a spiritual power popped out in his hand, wrapping the blood bead, ready to collect it, at this moment, several blood shadows flashed.
Chen Hao felt something in his heart, hurriedly retreated, fixed his eyes, and found that where he was just now, there were several blood beasts standing, which were very different from what he had seen before, whether it was body size or aura, they were several times larger, and there was a dangerous aura all over his body.
These blood beasts were all like tigers, half a foot tall, grinning with their teeth, and roaring at Chen Hao.
Looking at the blood beasts in front of him, Chen Hao subconsciously frowned, just now his spiritual sense did not find these blood beasts, could it be that these blood beasts can evade the search of spiritual sense?
"It seems that this is a noteworthy thing!" Chen Hao pondered.
Just as he was thinking, the blood beast launched an attack and swooped down from three directions, several blood-colored claw marks grabbing Chen Hao out of thin air.
Seeing the claw strike, Chen Hao retreated in the air, with one move, the spirit pattern sword came out of thin air, and the sword in his right hand was slashed horizontally, the sword light flew, and all the claw strikes around him were shattered, and then he flipped his hand down, the spirit sword swirled lightly, and an arc-shaped sword light slashed from the right, spinning in mid-air, several blood beasts instantly fell apart, turning into a pool of blood scattered on the ground.
The aura of these blood beasts is equivalent to the late stage of condensation, with Chen Hao's current strength and the sharpness of the spirit pattern sword, he can kill all these blood beasts with one move, in this regard, Chen Hao did not have much fluctuation in his heart, took the spirit pattern sword, and went straight to the pools of blood.
Through observation, it was found that these bloods were some ordinary spiritual blood, which was refined in some special ways, and then condensed into blood beasts in an unknown way.
In the middle of the blood, there is a blood-red worm writhing in it, this worm is like a mulberry silkworm magnified several times, and in the other pools of blood, there is also a blood-red worm.
"Could it be that these blood beasts are controlled through this worm?" Chen Hao looked at the worm thoughtfully.
After thinking about it for a while, he looked at the blood bead again, ready to step forward to collect it.
At this moment, the mutation abruptly appeared, and the small insects in the blood beach bloomed brightly, turning into blood-colored beams, these beams gathered towards the blood beads, with the large increase in the beams, the blood beads began to surge, and the surface of the beads made a "click" sound, looking at the strange scene in front of him, Chen Hao had a warning and hurriedly retreated backwards.
There was a loud bang, and the blood beads suddenly burst, and the blood splattered everywhere.
Chen Hao, who was retreating, was shocked, drew a circle with his hand, and a large red spiritual power shield condensed out of thin air, half-kneeling on the ground, holding the shield in both hands to resist the blood light.
The sound of "snorting" was endless, and the spiritual shield was instantly pierced by the blood light, Chen Hao was shocked, and hurriedly urged the blood flame to change to resist the blood light.
After a few breaths, all the blood light was poured out, all the stone pillars in the entire space collapsed, the patterns on the ground were all broken, and the surrounding walls were also full of holes.
And because Chen Hao used the blood inflammation change in time, he was not in much trouble under the attack of the blood light, but the position where he was hit by the blood light was a little painful.
After the blood light dissipated, he looked at the surrounding situation, secretly frightened, he didn't expect which blood bead could burst out with such a strong energy, as for why the blood bead suddenly burst, it reminded him of which blood beams just now, and the explosion of blood beads must be related to which blood beams.
As for which blood-colored beams were, at this moment, he didn't have a clue, but it was certain that he had an inevitable connection with an unknown person from the Blood Demon Sect, which also made Chen Hao even more eager to find out this person.
Fortunately, before, he collected the remains of the villagers, otherwise under the strong corrosion of blood light, there would definitely be no bones left, thinking of this time, Chen Hao was also a little secretly happy.
After searching nearby, when he found that there was nothing missing here, Chen Hao used his spiritual power to remove the spirit stones on the surrounding walls, although there were not many spirit stones, but he didn't want to waste them, and after taking them, he went out of the cave along the way he came.
After leaving the cave, Chen Hao was a little distressed, he originally thought that he should be able to find the person behind the scenes by following the bloodstains, but he didn't expect it to be the previous scene, and he didn't get any effective clues in the cave, and for a while, he didn't know where to go.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided that I still want to continue to look for the person behind the scenes.
Thinking back to the tragic situation in front of him just now, Chen Hao knew that he had to find out who was behind the scenes, otherwise more innocent people would die, which was also his responsibility as a righteous person.
After deciding, he got up and flew into the air, at this time, the white fog between the mountains and forests had all dissipated, and the situation below could be clearly seen in the air, Chen Hao was also a little happy to see this, so that he could find it more quickly.
And this time I can only take the stupid method of looking for a needle in a haystack, looking for it in the nearby mountains and forests.
After searching like this for a few days, the mountains and forests within a radius of hundreds of miles were covered with his footprints, but there was no progress, which made Chen Hao a little suspicious if the people of the Blood Demon Sect had already left this place.
