Hu Liena felt a wave of lingering fear in her heart. If Jiang Chen hadn't awakened her mind, she might have been destroyed by that violent killing intent.
Her pretty face was somewhat pale, but it was already much better than before.
"Little Chen, thank you."
Jiang Chen didn't say much. He pulled her up to her feet and began to inspect the surrounding environment.
Although he still remembered the plot of Tang San passing through the Hell Road in the book, he did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
Whether it was the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King or the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Serpent, neither was easy to deal with.
One moment of carelessness, and they might perish here.
Moreover, the situations inside the Hell Road were extremely varied and strange. What they encountered might not be the same as what was described in the book.
Jiang Chen did not dare to be the least bit careless. This concerned not only his own life, but also Hu Liena's life.
The plot described in the book could only serve as a reference. Everything here still needed to be carefully explored by himself to be more secure.
He knew that Slaughter City was the inheritance ground arranged by the Asura God after becoming a god, used to select inheritors. As long as one obtained the Killing God Domain, they had been chosen by the Asura God.
The Asura God cast a wide net. Those who could obtain the Killing God Domain were undoubtedly geniuses. They would be cultivated and observed one by one, and finally, the one with the most potential would be selected for inheritance.
Tang Chen was undoubtedly the most powerful among the many people who had obtained the Killing God Domain and was chosen by the Asura God for inheritance.
Both Hu Liena and Jiang Chen were smart people and naturally would not act rashly. Observing the surrounding situation first was clearly the most important thing.
Jiang Chen suppressed the sudden, inexplicable palpitation that appeared in his heart and carefully observed his surroundings.
The dangerous scene before their eyes made both of them involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.
The entire space they were in was tinged with a faint blood-red color. Outside the five-meter-diameter circular platform they stood on was an abyss ten thousand zhang deep.
The only way to leave this circular platform was a narrow path less than half a chi wide, only wide enough for both feet to stand side by side, leading into unknown darkness.
This narrow path was actually suspended in mid-air, with no support underneath.
Below was an abyss ten thousand zhang deep. If the path broke or they lost their footing, they would fall.
Both Jiang Chen and Hu Liena couldn't help but frown.
Fighting on such a narrow path would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
"I wonder what's below the abyss?" Hu Liena asked curiously. She then lay down on the platform and poked her head out.
After just a moment, she stood up and shook her head in disappointment. "Below is a patch of dark haze. I don't know how deep it is."
Compared to this narrow path, the dark abyss below undoubtedly felt even more terrifying to her.
Who knew what terrifying things were down there.
This narrow path also felt very dangerous to her. She had originally wanted to see if there were other ways out below, but who knew the bottom was even more frightening.
"Let me take a look."
Jiang Chen walked to the edge. One glance down revealed nothing but darkness.
He activated the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and his vision instantly pierced through the darkness, clearly seeing the situation below.
The scene below was the same as what he had seen from above the Slaughter City earlier, a vast blood pool with no visible end.
Previously, when Jiang Chen was above the Slaughter City, his vision could only see the red blood pool from afar, but he couldn't reach the surface of the blood pool.
Now, standing on this platform, the distance was much closer to the blood pool, allowing him to see the blood pool clearly.
The blood pool was a deep crimson, seeming to have a very high temperature. Its surface continuously bubbled, just like boiling magma.
His gaze penetrated the surface of the blood pool and continued downward.
The depth of this blood pool far exceeded his imagination. His vision went down about five hundred meters before finally reaching the bottom of the blood pool.
He was utterly shocked in his heart. This blood pool was already boundless, and its depth actually reached five hundred meters. How many people would have to die to accumulate so much blood?
Suddenly, his gaze focused. He saw something extremely unbelievable.
Directly below the platform he was on, at the bottom of the blood pool, there was an altar-like high platform. Floating above that high platform were three drops of thumb-sized golden liquid.
The moment he saw this golden liquid, the inexplicable palpitation that had appeared in his heart earlier suddenly became incredibly intense.
His entire body's blood uncontrollably began to boil with excitement, and his heart pounded wildly.
A strong desire suddenly appeared in his heart, a desire for these three drops of liquid. These three mysterious drops of liquid gave him an unparalleled sense of temptation.
This feeling of desire was very familiar to Jiang Chen; it was the desire for blood.
However, at this moment, this desire was infinitely amplified upon seeing these three drops of liquid.
It actually made him feel an impulse to immediately jump into the blood pool.
He withdrew his gaze. His heart was still beating violently, and a stormy sea had already surged up in his mind.
What exactly were these three drops of golden liquid?
Why did they give him a sense of craving for blood?
Could it be that this golden liquid was also a type of blood?
Thinking of this, his thoughts suddenly became clear.
His feelings toward blood would not be wrong. Those three drops of liquid definitely belonged to some kind of blood.
What kind of blood was golden?
Connecting this to the fact that this was the Asura God's inheritance ground, his heart beat even more frantically, and his face had already turned completely red.
A frightening thought appeared in his mind.
Those three drops of liquid might be blood left behind by the Asura God—very possibly the Asura God's own blood!
God-level blood!
If that was truly the case, then everything made sense.
Perhaps only god-level blood could give him such intense attraction.
Hu Liena, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Chen's flushed face and excited expression, feeling quite puzzled.
"Little Chen, what did you see?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head again. In her line of sight, the bottom was still a patch of dark haze.
Jiang Chen took several deep breaths, slightly calming himself down, and said slowly, "Below is a huge blood pool, with a depth of several hundred meters. This should be the human blood accumulated by the Slaughter City over the years, the so-called Bloody Mary, and the sacrifices of this Hell Road."
Hu Liena pondered for a moment before saying, "According to what you said, this Hell Road is not only the way to leave the Slaughter City, but might also be the core of the entire Slaughter City. Or perhaps it is the energy source of that strange domain of the Slaughter City."
Jiang Chen looked at Hu Liena with admiration and nodded. "Senior Sister, you're really smart. You thought of so much in an instant."
Being praised by Jiang Chen like this, Hu Liena naturally felt very happy, but she still asked in confusion, "Then why were you so excited just now? It was as if you had seen a beauty, your eyes were practically glowing."
"Uh… When I looked at you before, did my eyes glow?" Jiang Chen joked.
Hu Liena's pretty face turned red. She gave Jiang Chen a white-eyed glare and said, "Stop being glib with me. Back when I was injured, and you took care of me for that half a month, your eyes didn't just glow, they practically wanted to eat me up."
