Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

[Then, once you've truly established contact, you can expand the scope of your sacrifices. You can sacrifice anyone, no longer just your own family. At that stage, all you need to do is ensure the Li family presides over the ceremony. Hehe, by then, the Liu family will naturally cease to be a threat.]

Mr. Du spoke casually, but his words were filled with a bloody undertone.

Sacrificing members of the Li family... if it were a baby girl, that might convince everyone, since we've been killing people all along anyway... but is that really enough? Just sacrificing a few babies each year—can that really establish a connection between the Li family and the gods?

The figure still kneeling on the ground was taken aback. After a moment of silent thought, he did not object but actually accepted the proposal, only worrying about its effects.

[If it were merely a sacrifice, it might not be enough. After all, even if gods are dead, even if only a few fragments remain, they are still very powerful. However, since they are already in a state of unconsciousness, adding a little something to the sacrifice can yield different results.]

Inside the transparent glass bottle, dark red blood was writhing.

That is divine blood.

One glance is enough to tell that this is divine blood.

Even though the glass container holding that thing seemed to have some kind of special airtightness, ensuring that the power of the blood wouldn't leak out and drive people mad, the aura that seeped out was still clearly perceptible even to Gao Hai, who witnessed this scene through the lingering spirit of the strange object.

[Feed a few drops of this substance to the sacrificial offerings for several years, and then you won't need to feed them anymore when making subsequent sacrifices.]

[Don't even ask what this thing is. I've been studying it for a long time, and I still don't fully understand it. I only have a general idea of ​​how to use it. Sigh, I should have asked more questions at that inn back then. (muttering to myself)]

[With this thing amplifying the resentment of those tortured to death, and with this thing gradually gathering and collecting the resentment of sacrifices, a mere crippled god, half-dead and half-alive, will inevitably fall for it in the long run. At that time, this divine power will belong to us.]

The man's arrogant voice became the final curtain on the shattered scene.

Mr. Du.

Is the guy hiding behind the Li family, who ostensibly pretends to be a human trafficker and provides women to the Li family, really the root of all this tragedy?

No, we can't put all the blame on this one person. Ultimately, it was the Li family that chose this person, making the decision to let a wolf into the house. Ha... so that's how it all started. I really don't know how to describe these people.

And that thing, that's definitely [Divine Blood]. The only known way to obtain [Divine Blood] is through a mysterious inn. I originally thought that inn only appeared in recent times, but now it seems it probably existed hundreds of years ago. And does Mr. Du consider the inn to be a "traveler's inn"? If we exclude the possibility that the inn itself has changed, could it be that the place can manifest different forms depending on one's perception?

While they were thinking, the four of them had already passed through the countless floating, broken corpses.

Without a doubt, these corpses were all unseen entities. However, whether due to the darkness of the space itself or some other reason, all the corpses were in a state of slumber, remaining unawakened even when touched by the players. Thus, the group passed through them without any incident, without any combat whatsoever.

No trace of core obsession was found in these corpses.

To find that thing, we'll probably have to dive even deeper.

With this in mind, Gao Hai turned his gaze into the deeper darkness.

Then, he sensed something.

As his gaze passed over the corpses and landed beneath them, something below opened its eyes and stared back at him.

hum-

The next moment, amidst the terrifying aura that made his bones and internal organs tremble, Gao Hai's breath caught in his throat, and his whole body involuntarily stiffened.

{Avoid! Everyone, get out of the way immediately! Quick!!!}

A roar echoed within the mental link and the temporary mental link.

Gao Hai grabbed Zhen Fei, kicked a corpse, and suddenly accelerated to move sideways.

Cat Brother and Tangyuan also sensed that incredibly strong aura at that moment, and following Gao Hai's prompting, they quickly moved and dodged to their surroundings.

The crimson light pierced through countless corpses in the next moment, sweeping these fragments away and scattering them in all directions, traveling at least several kilometers.

There was no time to pay attention to what had just happened.

An even stronger aura had already gathered and manifested in the darkness below.

You guys...

A figure hundreds of meters tall, with a massive tail like a mountain, spoke softly to the four people who were still gradually descending.

Is this the new gift offered to me?

He opened his arms to the players, extending a warm embrace.

But there was no mercy in His eyes, only cruel and twisted bloodlust.

The path to descend had been cut off, and everyone present clearly realized that if they couldn't find a way to bypass or defeat this being, their exploration would likely come to an end here, along with their lives.

Chapter 128: The arduous struggle under the watchful eyes of the gods, and the cradle of rest.

Judging by the naked eye alone, it's already difficult to determine just how enormous the [Fox Queen] that has appeared before the players is.

At least in Gao Hai's view, the Fox Queen at this moment had truly reached the scale of a "mountain." Her outstretched hand alone was larger than the entire campus of Nightfall Mountain Middle School, and her eyes, staring at Gao Hai, were at least the size of several school buildings. Even the air she exhaled when she spoke felt like gusts of wind to Gao Hai and the others, nearly blowing them away from a distance. It could be said that her sense of "giantness" had reached an unprecedented level.

What the hell is going on? Is this some kind of super-large boss battle from the God of War series? The problem is, Kratos isn't in our group.

Gao Hai, who hadn't expected to encounter such a scene after diving into the depths of the "Bottomless Lake," was a little overwhelmed, especially when the Fox Queen opened her arms, revealing her broad chest without any mosaic covering.

{Is this... this kind of scene really available without paying?}

Tangyuan's shocked voice echoed through the temporary mental link, while Cat Brother remained relatively reserved, saying nothing in the link. However, if one were to look back at him at this moment, they would see him silently uttering, "Holy crap!"

{Wow...it's so big...}

Zhenfei, who was holding onto Gao Hai's arm for balance, was also greatly shocked at this moment, her mouth agape. However, whether she was shocked by the fox queen's earth-shattering magic or by something else, Gao Hai had no idea.

{Stay away, everyone! Don't get close to him! If he catches you, you're done for!}

hum! ! !

A strong gust of wind interrupted Gao Hai's shouts in the mental link the next moment.

The enormous fox queen had already reached out her hand, and her first target was Gao Hai himself.

My heart was pounding violently at that moment.

Even though the giant hand was still quite a distance away from Gao Hai at this moment, it was enough for Gao Hai to feel the air currents that were stirred up by the arm's swing, to feel the terrifying momentum that was truly capable of destroying mountains and overturning seas, and even the cells in his body began to become uncontrollable.

crunch - crunch -

I could hear the sound of my teeth clenching tightly.

All the muscles in his body spasmed severely at this moment, and even his mental strength, which had become far stronger than before, was severely impacted by the overwhelming and terrifying aura.

The enormous hand continued to grow larger in our field of vision.

My body felt as if it were stuck in mud, and I couldn't move freely at all.

Calm down!

Gao Hai took a deep breath.

Stay calm and don't let this momentum overwhelm you!

Whether I admit defeat or resist, it won't change this thing's attitude towards me, nor will it change what it wants to do to me next.

Therefore, we must never give in.

{Watch out, Sea King!}

A voice rang out in the mental link from Maki, and in the next moment, Gao Hai's eyes turned blood red.

boom--

The next moment, Gao Hai first threw Zhen Fei upwards, then turned around and clapped his hands together, creating a sonic boom that blew his body away, instantly moving a large distance to avoid the fox queen's arm.

But that wasn't enough, because the giant hand immediately turned around and grabbed at Gao Hai again, even faster than before.

Wow, this kid is really active!

The fox queen's somewhat languid voice rang out, and it was clear that after Gao Hai dodged her attack, she became even more focused.

Void Transformation Blessing, activated!

Gao Hai's body, which had been floating and unable to move quickly, stopped instantly, no longer affected by the slow downward pull of the dark space. Then, he suddenly accelerated, instantly passing through the fox queen's outstretched hand and dodging a large distance once again.

hum-

A violent tremor once again spread through the darkness.

The divine aura that had been firmly locked onto Gao Hai became even stronger at this moment.

Gao Hai also clearly saw that new flesh and blood suddenly grew on the fox queen's body, which in a very short time turned into six giant hands, which transformed into eight huge arms like mountain ranges, and swung them at him again, trying to block his retreat from all directions.

What the hell is this eight-armed Vajra?

Gao Hai was about to curse when he saw the eight giant arms suddenly accelerate, forcing him to quickly dodge and push the power of his Void Transformation Blessing to its limit. Even so, dodging was extremely difficult; the enormous arms swung with terrifying speed, completely lacking the sluggishness of the giant creatures depicted in movies. And even if Gao Hai managed to dodge, the force of the swung arms would severely hinder his movements.

Bang!

Even though he had completely transferred his body to another dimension through annihilation, Gao Hai found that he was still unable to resist the powerful wind brought by the fox queen's swing. He was shaken from side to side by the aftershocks of the giant arm and almost caught by the other two hands.

Is it because the other party's status is too high? So even if I transfer to another dimension, the aftershocks of this thing's attack can still track me down, lock onto my direction, and affect me? Isn't that a bit too unreasonable?

Gao Hai wanted to complain a few more times, but the Fox Queen didn't give him a chance at all. Giant hands continued to chase after him without stopping, trying to capture him completely.

As for the other players besides Gao Hai, Fox Queen has completely ignored them.

Even though the three of them weren't far from Gao Hai, the creature didn't turn its gaze to them at all. Instead, it focused its attention entirely on Gao Hai, constantly waving its arms at him in an attempt to grab him.

Is BYD really fixated on me? Do I really have that much charm?!

Gao Hai wanted to curse like that, but the pressing sense of crisis didn't give him the chance. He could only grit his teeth and use the power of his blessing to continue dodging with all his might.

{Haijun, increase the distance! Don't maintain this distance any longer!}

Zhenfei's voice came through the mental link. She noticed that although Gao Hai was constantly dodging the attacks, he never really closed the distance between himself and those giant hands.

{Don't come any closer! I can still deal with it. Our goal is to find clues to the core obsession. You guys try to bypass it and see if you can find the core obsession of Liu Family Village in the area further down!}

But Gao Hai spoke firmly in the mental link and immediately closed the distance again to ensure that the Fox Queen's attention remained on him.

To be honest, the feeling of being watched closely by an existence far beyond oneself is really unpleasant; it feels like being crawled with insects and is terrifying.

But when he saw those enormous hands swinging over, Gao Hai took a deep breath, refocused his mind, and accelerated once again to dodge the giant hands, moving at an extremely fast speed in front of the Fox Queen.

"Little one, do you want to play hide-and-seek with me?"

With a soft laugh, the fox queen grinned, like an elder playing with a child.

But that chilling gaze remained undiminished. The intense gaze made Gao Hai clearly feel that if he were caught by this thing, it would immediately absorb his flesh and blood, binding his soul and preventing its escape. Although this being's power was inferior to the Blood Flower and it couldn't truly imprison Gao Hai, if that happened, it would only start a new cycle, and what that meant was self-evident.

Whizzing--

Amidst gusts of violent wind, Gao Hai's figure weaved back and forth between those enormous fingers.
