44: The blood beasts are stirring!

In another direction, Yang Yi was also desperately slaying Blood Beasts; only one day had passed, but his temperament had become much more composed.

He was only in the Leakless Realm and could not yet act recklessly in Secret Realm No. 7. Although he could handle most situations, there were times when he had no choice but to retreat; for example, right now...

A massive force struck him from behind, kicking him in the back!

Yang Yi's body lunged forward uncontrollably, and what greeted him was a gaping, bloodthirsty maw!

"Damn it!"

At this critical moment, Yang Yi didn't have time to think; he barely squeezed out some remaining strength and slashed with his blade!

Under the blinding blade light, the Blood Beast let out a painful roar...

Yang Yi landed on the ground, rolled a few times, took a quick look around, and ran outward without hesitation!

Originally, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to take on several Second Realm Blood Beasts at once, but earlier, while passing by, he saw someone trapped in a bitter fight and stepped in to help.

Who would have thought that the bastard would just abandon him and run away?

Coupled with the commotion of the battle here, it attracted two more Blood Beasts... and thus, the situation where he was surrounded was finally formed.

Seeing that Yang Yi was about to run, a slightly larger Blood Beast looked up and howled at the sky!

Under the deafening sound waves, the Blood Beasts here chased after him one after another!

Their figures leapt through the mountain forest, incredibly agile;

Yang Yi threw two Medicinal Pills into his mouth, glanced back, and his heart sank inevitably;

Judging by the speed of both sides, if this continued, it wouldn't take long before he was caught...

What on earth was going on?

The data on the terminal recorded that Blood Beasts were generally afraid of the Human Race, weren't they?

Why, when it was his turn, did these Blood Beasts attack like they were crazy!

Was he being treated as an easy target?

He hoped to encounter some other trial-takers to help him alleviate the pressure slightly;

But Secret Realm No. 7 was not small, and with only ten thousand or so trial-takers thrown inside, they were barely noticeable.

Everyone chose different routes and went to different depths... Until he was almost caught, Yang Yi hadn't seen a second person;

A faint pain came from his back;

Yang Yi touched his battle suit. This was something his father, a Fifth Realm Martial Artist, had spent a fortune to buy for him, and its protective power was astonishing;

It was precisely because of this battle suit that he had managed to withstand that sneak attack just now.

But could this battle suit... save his life...

Just as he was becoming increasingly desperate, Yang Yi suddenly discovered that the group of Blood Beasts had actually stopped their pursuit?

They all turned their heads in the same direction, as if having received some kind of summons, and began to roar one after another!

Then, they turned around and sprinted away!

Yang Yi let out a long breath; he had survived...

But following that, another doubt welled up in his heart. What had happened to these Blood Beasts?

Why did they abandon the enemy they were about to kill to rush toward an unknown place?

...

Chu Yuan had the same question as Yang Yi;

He had encountered the largest swarm of Blood Beasts since entering the Secret Realm;

There were at least fifty Blood Beasts among them, and one was already equivalent to a Third Realm Martial Artist!

With a wave of its claw, three energy blades whistled over, easily slicing through tree after tree;

But this attack was a bit clumsy and naturally could not hurt Chu Yuan.

But just as Chu Yuan was preparing to slaughter them all, this group of Blood Beasts actually stopped attacking and ran toward a direction, regardless of everything else!

Seeing that the points within his grasp were about to fly away, how could Chu Yuan agree to that?

In his haste, he activated an area-of-effect Move he had just comprehended and had never used before;

That was the third Move of the Riding the Wind Sword Control Art: Wind Chant!

The wind slasher whistled toward the beast swarm, and wind blades appeared abruptly around the sword body!

In the blink of an eye, they were dense, and one couldn't even see the main body of the wind slasher;

And then... it exploded suddenly!

Like flowers scattered by a goddess, the fierce Sword Qi storm brutally tore at everything around it! It seemed as if a wind Domain had formed here!

Earth and stones splashed, giant trees were snapped, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

At first glance, it was a scene like Hell...

The wind slasher returned to its position, and Chu Yuan leaped forward;

None of the Blood Beasts had intact bodies left, but that Third Realm Blood Beast, although cut in half at the waist, still retained a sliver of conscious awareness.

It looked at Chu Yuan, its huge eyes filled with hatred and killing intent;

Chu Yuan always felt that the emotions of the Blood Beasts seemed too abundant and complex?

They didn't seem like mindless beasts...

"You want to go in this direction? What is in this direction?" Chu Yuan muttered to himself;

He didn't expect this Blood Beast to understand his words; in fact, the other party indeed could not understand;

Even though it only had half a body left, it was still trying to launch an attack at him.

The wind slasher automatically unsheathed again, turned into a green light, and pinned it to the ground...

Chu Yuan raised his terminal to check his points, then looked toward the direction the Blood Beast wanted to go before it died;

After thinking for a moment, he activated the Luo Yan Step and walked over...

The abnormal reaction of the Blood Beasts was something almost any normal person could discern;

It was just that the responses made by each person were not the same.

Some who were more confident in their own strength made the same choice as Chu Yuan, which was to go to the place where the Blood Beasts were heading to see what was happening;

Those with weaker strength quietly retreated, preparing to return to the stone platform and leave this trial;

There were also those who took advantage of the Blood Beasts losing their aggression to chase after them and slaughter them en masse...

If someone were to open a god's-eye view and look down from above;

They would be able to discover that no matter where the Blood Beasts were, their destination was the same!

That was a place marked as the Blood Abyss on the map provided by the military...

...

At this moment, in the Blood Abyss, the pungent smell of blood had almost condensed into a physical substance!

There was a faint blood mist swirling in the air, adding a bit of a grim and terrifying atmosphere to this place;

In the dim yellow light, a behemoth with a body length of several tens of meters was lying quietly there, emitting bursts of repressed low growls.

"Endure, it is almost done!" Suddenly, a language belonging to the Human Race rang out above the giant beast. Looking carefully, there was indeed an imperceptible human figure sitting cross-legged on top of the giant beast!

"Enough... my... kin!" The giant beast also uttered the Human Race language from its mouth; although it was not fluent, the emotion was very intense.

It looked down at its feet, its gaze sorrowful;

Blood Beast after Blood Beast rushed over from afar and jumped into the blood pool in front of it without hesitation;

And then, in an instant, there was no movement...

There were array patterns permeating the blood pool, condensing into an energy circuit that extended deep into its body.

It was... devouring its own kin...
