Chapter 372: Blood Demon Sect
Chapter 372: Blood Demon Sect
Jiafa unleashed a "Sun True Flame" signature skill, and despite his beginner-level proficiency, its power left everyone in awe.
Within a two-kilometer radius, nearly all targets were destroyed, and even the skeletons that could barely stand were merely clinging to life.
The terrifying power and shocking scene left the five inside the hover car trembling with fear.
"Let's get out of here!" Jiafa exclaimed as he stepped into the hover car after showcasing his signature skill. He urged the driver to hurry.
The signature skill was indeed impressive, and its power was terrifying, but the cost was equally astounding. After one strike, Jiafa was exhausted, and his combat strength was nearly depleted.
It was a brief moment of coolness, but there was no other choice. After all, if they didn't flee after such a display, would they wait for their opponents to counterattack? Jiafa wasn't that foolish.
The driver, without hesitation, piloted the hover car at high speed into the sky and then raced towards Mo Yuan City.
There was no other option; the signature skill had nearly wiped out all enemies within a certain range, but it was limited to that specific area.
In reality, as far as the eye could see, the skeleton army was still overwhelming, and it was impossible to count them all.
At this moment, if they didn't escape, their fate would undoubtedly be grim.
Everyone, including the driver, was well aware of this, so they fled without hesitation, scattering like startled birds.
In such a situation, there was no time to worry about appearances.
"Phew, we finally got away!" The hover car sped towards Mo Yuan City, and in mid-air, Jiafa, seated, exhaled a long breath.
"This time, it was truly dangerous!"
Zhou Yuanhao immediately agreed, "Yes, this incident is strange. Logically, these ruins, which are specifically for freshmen to conduct archaeological excavations, shouldn't have any dangers. Why did it open up a deeper dimensional rift? I've never been able to figure that out!"
"There's nothing to figure out," Jiafa pointed to the five unlucky individuals in the carriage, "I was also attacked at the entrance, and these five guys were the ones who attacked me."
"I defeated them and had Jiafa use a Light Elemental skill to force out the blood-colored worms inside them," Jiafa frowned as he explained, "From this, we can see that they've already fallen under the influence of a heretical organization."
"The skeleton tide riot and the deeper dimensional rift are most likely the 'masterpiece' of a heretical organization!"
Upon hearing Jiafa's analysis, everyone's expressions turned grim, especially Lu Tianjiao's.
Previously, his ex-lover, Mary Galwey, had been parasitized by the blood-colored worms, losing her sanity, and transforming into a spider-like creature that viciously attacked them. That attack had left a deep impression on them.
Recalling it now still sent shivers down their spines.
"Blood-colored worms..." Bai Bingbing listened to Jiafa's analysis and paused for a moment. Finally, she spoke with uncertainty, "If my guess is correct, the culprit behind this is most likely the Blood Demon Sect."
"If it's really the Blood Demon Sect, then we're in trouble!" She continued without pause, "The Blood Demon Sect possesses the Blood Spirit Puppet, a type of gu worm said to have infinite regeneration and breeding capabilities. Once it parasitizes a human body, it erodes their will and controls their actions.
"Apart from Light Elemental, Life Elemental, and a few other purifying skills, most skills have no effect on these Blood Spirit Puppets. To eliminate them, one must directly kill the host.
"Bai Bingbing's brows furrowed into a deep frown, "If that's the case, the situation is grim and will be very tricky!"
Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Li Qian suddenly clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Rest assured, there's no need to worry. Even if the sky falls, the tall guy will hold it up."
"We're not too concerned... but you should be more careful. During the previous breeding competition, your brilliance was too dazzling. I estimate that the Blood Demon Sect is likely targeting you."
Zhao Lilu looked at Li Qian and kindly reminded him, "So you need to be extra cautious from now on. Not only should you beware of their direct attacks, but also be mindful of possible underhanded tricks."
"For example, a familiar person who has been parasitized by the Blood Spirit Puppet might suddenly attack you."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian instinctively glanced at Lu Tianjiao.
Lu Tianjiao noticed this and immediately reacted, almost jumping up in surprise.
His expression was quite agitated, "Old Lu, what are you looking at? I can't be parasitized... Don't look at me like that, it's creepy..."
"If I were really parasitized, I would have smashed you with a hammer long ago." Lu Tianjiao spoke with conviction, "And it's not easy to parasitize me."
Just as everyone was chatting, inside the carriage, the five unfortunate souls gradually woke up one by one.
"Where are we?" The first to regain consciousness was the only girl among the five, her hair in a messy braid, giving her a tomboyish appearance.
"Do you remember what happened before?" Li Qian asked the girl with the braid, rubbing her forehead.
"Hiss... Hiss..." The girl with the braid tried to recall, but a wave of pain quickly made her gasp.
"Sorry, I can't seem to remember anything. I recall that after negotiating with you... not long after we left, suddenly everything went dark, and I don't remember anything after that..."
"Yeah, I'm in the same situation!" The second person to wake up was the muscular guy, who agreed.
Lu Tianjiao sighed, walked over, and repeated what Li Qian had just said, "You were most likely parasitized by the Blood Demon Sect's Blood Spirit Puppet, losing your self-awareness. Just now, you attacked Li Qian. If he hadn't been merciful, you'd probably..."
Although Lu Tianjiao didn't finish his sentence, his meaning was already clear.
Li Qian shot him a glance and immediately explained, "I won't do anything to you. After you lost your senses and attacked me, a new situation emerged. The entire Bone Plain was swarmed with skeleton tides, and these skeleton-like creatures seemed to go crazy, attacking us."
Bai Bingbing nodded and followed, "Yes, if it weren't for Li Qian's kindness in bringing you along, you'd have become snacks for those skeletons by now!"
She pointed to a crystal screen inside the hover car, which was connected to the rear camera.
At this moment, the camera projected the scene behind them, causing the five fully conscious individuals to shudder.
