Excessive ferocity due to caution

As the clock above began to turn in the opposite direction, the black hair on the mannequins in the prayer room gradually turned into black, sinister energy, which condensed in the void!

Finally, they all rushed into the other locked door of the prayer room.

There are three doors in the prayer room.

A door came in.

Two doors were opened.

Zhao Yi did not choose to become the priest here.

So the cemetery opened the door on the right for him.

That is the path the sacrificer should take.

Zhao Yi did not continue to expend his life force to restore Chris.

For someone like her, who's practically a monster, losing an eye has absolutely no impact.

Chris dipped her pale fingertips into her right eye socket, where she had lost her eyeball, stained it with blood, and sucked on it with her red lips.

The expression shows enjoyment.

The smell of blood filled my mouth.

Zhao Yi arrived at the door on the right.

There was a stone bridge over there.

There was the sound of liquid flowing beneath the stone bridge.

But it's not water.

It's very viscous.

The situation is not optimistic—the enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light, but Chris's face shows no fear.

For her, it seemed that only Zhao Yi could evoke feelings of fear in her.

"What exactly is the guy behind this trying to do?"

Chris lowered her head and pondered.

"Did you notice the wall and the mechanism from earlier?"

As Zhao Yi led the way toward the massive stone bridge, he explained.

"Even with powerful protection, the mechanisms here have begun to decay..."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chris and reached out to pull out a silver blade stuck in her back.

The text of the church is carved on it.

It has a great killing power over certain organisms.

However, Chris's consciousness (spirit) belongs to the category of evil gods.

Even though her strength is weak.

However, the lethality of such a thing can be completely ignored.

"If a government agency has a problem, it might be because the workmanship is not refined."

"But so many mechanisms are malfunctioning... which is enough to show that a very long time has passed since this monastery was built."

"They've been dormant for too long...they need fresh blood."

He tossed the silver blade to Chris, who looked at it thoughtfully.

"They didn't choose to attack us directly; besides having reservations, they must have some ulterior motive..."

"What are they trying to achieve?"

She followed behind Zhao Yi.

The two walked along the bridge towards the distance.

The journey was shrouded in mist.

The mist had an eerie, dim yellow hue.

It looks like dust and sand.

But it doesn't have the grainy feel of dust or sand.

Look down from the bridge.

The eerie sight that greeted Chris's eyes made her eyelids twitch slightly!

Below the bridge... is a river.

Blood River.

The crimson waves surging and rolling were the fragmented bones of many nuns...

Some of the horrors that arose from the Blood River also revealed their hideous faces.

A stickleback fish with human features, covered in human skin...

A giant crab whose back is covered in eyeballs...

There are also many evil spirits whose names are simply untraceable...

"If you were to use human blood to create a river... how many people would need to die?"

Chris said those words in a seductive tone.

They seemed completely oblivious to the cruelty of the scene before them, and even quite admired it.

Zhao Yi glanced at it, his tone calm.

"That's not human blood."

"The blood that could give rise to such a powerful ghost is most likely from the body of a great evil spirit."

Their gazes swept into the distance.

Far out at the Blood River, there is a dam.

There, the blood and water met their most distinct boundary!

All the corpses and bizarre monsters in the Blood River flowed back along another riverbed.

The crystal-clear water flows into underground rivers...

It's very clean inside.

The vast and terrifying river of blood, at the point of separation, did not reveal the slightest trace of resentment...

This bizarre sight makes it hard not to think things through.

"The River of Blood has parted..."

Chris licked her lips, as if she had thought of something.

Zhao leaned against the giant bridge and observed for a long time:

"The fact that this blood river can continuously transport clear water indicates that it is also connected to an underground river upstream..."

Chris turned around and looked.

The black fog was particularly heavy upstream.

Her power couldn't penetrate that place.

There was an ominous aura in the fog, more than half a step into great calamity...

"Strange... why does the Blood River absorb water from the underground river and then discharge it again?"

A glint of light flashed in Chris's beautiful eyes.

Zhao Yi stroked his chin and suddenly said:

"Let's go, Chris."

Chris glanced at Zhao Yi curiously.

Due to the suppression of her bloodline, she was born with a fear of Zhao Yi.

But apart from that, she knew absolutely nothing about Zhao Yi.

This man exudes a strong sense of mystery.

So she initially tried to seduce Zhao Yi with her body.

This is the simplest and most direct test.

She was testing the man who held the power of life and death over her.

However, the other party didn't seem to be very interested in her beautiful body.

She also found it difficult to sense Zhao Yi's emotions.

His unpredictability only deepened Chris's awe of Zhao Yi.

What does he like?

Chris walked behind Zhao Yi, watching his back.

The terrifying red figure from not long ago resurfaced in my mind.

The man in red's back view was almost identical to Zhao Yi's, but the terrifying aura emanating from his red clothes nearly killed her on the spot...

The two walked along the bridge.

We reached the end of the bridge.

Black stone steps appeared.

There are also reliefs on both sides.

Nude woman.

It is also highly religious in nature.

Although it is a stone statue, it is covered in blood and flesh.

Torture instruments were made on his body.

It seems that in the eyes of these strange churches, only by living a miserable life and enduring enough suffering can one gain divine favor.

Walk up the stairs.

After reaching about level 100, a giant stone platform floating in the void appeared before the two of them.

A cold, blue phosphorescent glow floated all around.

There are many totems on the stone platform.

Each totem is made from the bones and corpses of bizarre creatures.

Nourished by the evil energy, they had rotted but had not decayed.

"This is……"

"These corpses are..."

Chris seems to have discovered something.

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"You figured it out?"

Chris:

"These bodies are all fresh..."

"Judging from the state of decay of the external mechanisms, this tomb has been buried for at least a century..."

"Normal living beings cannot survive for a hundred years in such a tomb; they have no food and..."

At this point, Chris suddenly paused in surprise!

Food and water?

Isn't that river of blood the one?!

"Could it be...?"

Zhao Yi arrived in front of a totem, flipped the scalpel, and cut open its head.

"The underground river contains fish and possibly various other creatures, because it is not turbulent or deep, and even some amphibians can swim in..."

"You can tell just by looking at the demons and monsters tainted by evil energy in the river of blood..."

"The evil spirits roaming inside the cemetery... Although we cannot open the tomb, we have found a way to connect with the outside world."

"Use the living things from the outside world to nourish this great tomb."

"Nurture the other evil spirits within the great tomb, and then..."

Chris's eyes flickered, and she continued:

"And then offer them as sacrifices to the owner of the grave?"

Zhao nodded slightly:

"right."

Chris stepped forward and stood beside Zhao Yi, arms crossed, and said:

There's still one thing I don't understand.

"The cemetery's owner is clearly dead... What do they expect to gain from doing this?"

Chris's doubts were not unfounded.

If a great evil spirit were still alive, the curse in the cemetery caused by it would be more than ten times more terrible than it is now!

The power of those evil spirits is far beyond what Zhao Yi and his group can currently match!

Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips:

"It can't bring back anything... but it can reduce the resentment of the monstrous corpse."

"This is actually a transaction."

"Just like a believer who prays for a miracle from their Lord, they always have to offer something as a sacrifice..."

His eyes shone, and he uttered a conjecture that slightly startled Chris:

"They...want to touch that monstrous corpse!"

PS: First update.

I'm trying to resume updating three times a day today.

Please take a look.
