Black Ball

"Mr. Zhuo, that person was …" Ji Chenyan came back to her senses and asked in shock.

Zhuowen's eyes flickered. He didn't answer Ji Chenyan's question directly. Instead, he looked around and said, "Since there is a restriction here, there must be something valuable inside. Let's search."

As he spoke, Zhuowen walked into the depths of the cave. Ji Chenyan's eyes flickered. She was very smart. Since Zhuowen changed the topic, she naturally had no reason to ask. Instead, she quietly followed behind Zhuowen.

After entering the depths of the cave, Zhuowen found that there was a small pool of water that was about ten meters wide at the end of the cave.

The strange thing was that the water in the small pool was pitch-black, and there was a strange smell of blood in the small pool.

Smelling the stench of blood, Zhuo Wen furrowed his brows. He stared at the small pool in front of him. He realized that the stench of blood was very similar to the aura of the strange human figure that was killed by the first mountain god.

"That strange figure crawled out of the pool. As soon as it came out, it attacked me without any explanation!" Ji Chenyan's eyes were filled with fear.

Zhuowen nodded. Then, his Spirit Ring suddenly vibrated. He heard the Blood Immortal's extremely excited Divine Thought, "Master, quickly let me out. I feel a very comfortable smell of blood. Quickly let me out."

Hearing this, Zhuowen flicked his finger and released the Blood Immortal.

At this moment, the Blood Immortal was in a very difficult situation. In the previous battle with Yuan Hongwen, the Blood Immortal had suffered a lot. Since then, Zhuowen had kept his promise and completely removed the slave seal on the Blood Immortal, allowing her to regain her freedom. She was no longer bound by Zhuowen.

However, the Blood Immortal was very thick-skinned. Using the excuse of being heavily injured, she insisted that Zhuowen help her recover from her injuries before she planned to leave Zhuowen.

In desperation, Zhuowen didn't refuse. Speaking of which, the reason why the Blood Immortal was in such a difficult situation was indeed related to him. The Blood Immortal was also used to calling him master. Even without the slave seal, she still habitually called Zhuowen master.

As soon as the Blood Immortal came out, she jumped into the black pool and couldn't help but moan in pleasure.

Zhuowen looked at the Blood Immortal and said, "You know this Black Pool?"

The Blood Immortal swam a few times in the pool and grinned, "Master, can't you see that the black pool is made of blood? And my intuition tells me that the blood is not ordinary blood, but the blood of a saint."

"Saint's blood?"

Zhuowen had a strange look in his eyes. When he smelled the blood, he already had some guesses. However, the smell of blood in the black pool was extremely strange. It didn't smell like real blood at all, so he didn't think about it.

"I'm afraid it was formed by the death of a saint during the war. And to be able to form such a small pool, I'm afraid it wasn't just one saint." The Blood Immortal said with some emotion.

Zhuowen's eyes lit up. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Let's go into the pool and have a look!"

The Blood Immortal nodded and immediately rushed into the depths of the pool. Zhuowen followed behind the Blood Immortal and went into the depths of the pool.

Ji Chenyan's beautiful eyes flashed. She didn't follow, but stood on the shore and waited.

This black pool gave him a sense of danger. Moreover, if she followed him down and Zhuo Wen discovered something good, it would be very awkward.

Zhuowen squatted on the Blood Immortal. In this environment, the Blood Immortal's speed was much faster than his.

The pool did not seem large, but its bottom was extremely deep. After descending to a depth of around a few hundred meters, Zhuo Wen discovered an undercurrent surging below. It was like a terrifying whirlwind had swept up, causing his expression to change slightly.

"Mistress, look over there!"

The Blood Immortal suddenly pointed with her right hand. At the bottom of the pool, there were countless reefs. And among the reefs, there were several oval-shaped black balls. The black balls' surface was covered with purple veins, like the veins of a human body.

And Zhuowen found that the black balls were constantly wriggling. In the process of wriggling, countless black blood spurted out, as if it was replenishing the entire pool.

Seeing this, Zhuowen's pupils shrank. He didn't expect the black blood to emerge from the black balls.

And there were many of these black balls at the bottom of the pool. There were at least a few hundred of them.

Splash!

When Zhuowen approached one of the black balls, the black ball suddenly wriggled, and then a black and white eyeball appeared on top of it.

The eyeball's pupils were like ink, and it stared straight at Zhuowen. Then the countless black veins on the surface suddenly shot out and turned into long black lines, wrapping around Zhuowen's entire body.

Zhuowen's pupils shrank. He stepped out with his right foot, and invisible ripples spread out. Then he disappeared from the spot, making the long black lines miss.

When Zhuowen reappeared, he was already out of the black ball's attack range. As for the Blood Immortal, she was naturally brought out by him.

"What are these things?" Zhuowen's eyes were extremely serious.

Roar!

Suddenly, a roar came from the black ball. Then the black ball closed its eyeball, and then it began to wriggle from the inside. A strange human figure separated from the black ball.

This strange human figure was exactly the same as the strange human figure that was killed by the First Mountain God.

Following this roar, Zhuo Wen noticed that the other hundreds of black balls around him were also roaring. Then, each of them released a strange humanoid figure.

The hundreds of strange human figures kept wriggling their bodies, and then they all roared and rushed toward Zhuowen. They were as fast as lightning.

Zhuowen had no choice but to let the First Mountain God out again.

The First Mountain God looked around at the strange human figures that were rushing toward him. His eyes were full of displeasure, and he was obviously very displeased that Zhuowen was still here.

However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he waved his right hand, and a black hole appeared behind him. One by one, stalwart figures walked out. There were a total of seventeen figures.

Zhuowen recognized three of the seventeen figures. They were the Eighteenth Mountain God, the Seventeenth Mountain God, and the Sixteenth Mountain God. Zhuowen had a good relationship with these three Mountain Gods.

The three of them looked at Zhuowen and smiled generously. Zhuowen smiled back at them.

"Let's end this quickly!"

The First Mountain God said calmly, and the other seventeen Mountain Gods nodded. Then, they held onto their respective mountains and charged toward the strange humanoid figures in the surroundings.

Zhuowen also noticed that the First Mountain God held the First Mountain and formed a seal with his hands. Then, a surging dark golden light emerged.

Zhuowen's Small Perfection Holy Body was watered by the dark golden light, and his whole body was filled with surging power. It was as if he had endless strength. Obviously, the dark golden light greatly increased the power of the Mountain Gods who practiced the Ten Thousand Dao Indestructible Divine Body.

Zhuowen roared, and the golden light burst out from his body. He also rushed toward one of the strange human figures around him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He punched the strange human figure three times in a row. The speed was extremely fast, and the golden light flickered. The strange human figure exploded into a mist of blood, and the several heads on its back also exploded into a mist of blood.

With the existence of the First Mountain God, it was not a problem for Zhuo Wen to deal with hundreds of strange humanoid figures. When the last strange humanoid figure was destroyed by Zhuo Wen's punch, his gaze fell on the hundreds of black balls below. His eyes were filled with seriousness.

"This place is really strange!"

The First Mountain God frowned and called the other Mountain Gods back to the Azure Dragon Palace. He then silently went to Zhuowen's side.

Zhuowen said in a deep voice, "These hundreds of black balls are spewing out the blood of Saints. I'm afraid the answer to all of this lies in these black balls."

"Let me see what's inside!"

The First Mountain God nodded and walked toward one of the black balls.

When the black ball sensed the First Mountain God's approach, it roared, and countless veins rushed out again. Unfortunately, the First Mountain God's body was too terrifying. The attacks from the veins were like tickles to him.

The First Mountain God's right hand formed into a claw and grabbed at the black orb. Then, he tore it apart. The black orb screamed and was torn into countless pieces by the First Mountain God, revealing the true appearance of the black orb.

"This is … a Saint?"

When Zhuowen's gaze fell on the black ball that was torn apart, he could not help but gasp. He saw a skinny middle-aged man lying quietly inside the black ball.

The middle-aged man's eyes were dull, and his body was covered by countless black veins. Zhuowen could clearly sense that these veins were constantly absorbing the middle-aged man's blood.

"This person's cultivation should be around the level of a Heavenly Saint when he was alive. Unfortunately, he is now a living dead. He has become a living dead that provides blood for these black balls. How sad!" The First Mountain God murmured with a complicated gaze.

Even Zhuowen felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene. These black balls did not kill these Saints. Instead, they were like captives. They kept these Saints in the black balls, and after a period of time, they would absorb the blood of these Saints.

"What are these things?" Zhuowen took a deep breath and asked coldly.

The First Mountain God shook his head and said, "I've never seen these things before. Moreover, there are too many of them. If I'm not wrong, although the black water in the pool is blood, I think it's more of the dregs in the blood."

"After these black balls absorbed the blood of the Saints, they probably absorbed the essence into the depths of the ground. The dregs are the black blood that formed the Black Pool. These Saints have already fused with the black balls. It's impossible to separate them."

Zhuowen frowned. The First Mountain God's guess was not without reason, especially since he did not feel the surging Saint Aura of the Saints in the Black Pool. The black blood was indeed the dregs of the Saints' blood.

"If these black balls lead to the depths of the ground, then what is there in the depths of the ground?"

Zhuowen's eyes flashed. He then raised his right hand and pointed. Instantly, countless Yellow Spring Water Droplets gushed out and touched the black balls that the First Mountain God had destroyed.

Instantly, the Yellow Spring Water Droplets absorbed the terrifying power of the blood essence in the black balls.

"Instead of living in pain, I'll send you on your way!"

While the Yellow Spring Water Droplets were absorbing the blood essence in the black balls, Zhuowen pointed his left hand between the Saint's eyebrows and destroyed his mind.
