This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"How is that place?" Eurost asked with great interest.

"The ground is covered in slug venom, and there are giant rats covered in pus, giant crabs, giant lobsters, and giant bullfrogs... You'll never want to go there again in your life."

"Sounds familiar. I've been to the sewers of the Imperial Capital. Like here, they're both cities built on ancient infrastructure. The difference is, there's a Cursed Frog King in the sewers of the Imperial Capital."

"It's so horrible..." Ye Yi got goosebumps all over his body.

"Yeah, it's terrible. The king of curse frogs gave birth to a lot of little curse frogs, and the poisonous smoke they spit out won't dissipate."

"I guess you haven't finished cleaning it yet."

"That's right." Eurost nodded dejectedly. "Actually, it's impossible to clean it...Is there a sound of water ahead?"

"I heard it too."

Walking along the downward sloping pipe, after a while, the two came to a giant pipe with a diameter of ten meters.

"This is..." Looking at the bright red blood that gathered into a river in front of him and whistled along the pipe, Ye Yiyi took a breath.

"This is the Blood River!?"

Chapter 99: Divine Blood Waterfall

A huge amount of blood flowed out from the end of the metal pipe, turning into an endless river of blood flowing into the distant darkness.

"This is the Blood River?!"

Standing on the pedestrian corridors on both sides of the pipeline, Ye Yiyi was deeply shocked when he saw for the first time the huge amount of blood that had gathered into a turbulent river.

Among the weapons and items he had previously acquired, several mentioned the existence of the Blood River.

For example, the Pure Divine Blood Greatsword was not only born from the Blood River, but was also a weapon naturally formed from pure divine blood.

Another example is the blood coagulation gem that can add "bleeding" and "blood sucking" to weapons.

The item description says that it is a special gem found in a river of blood that will not coagulate. It has sacred symbolic meaning and is a symbol of the Lord of Holy Blood.

The descriptions of these items all mention "divine blood" and "blood river".

And there happened to be such a river of blood in the upper drainage pipe in front of Ye Yiyi.

It would be too much of a coincidence to say that this is undoubtedly the river of blood mentioned in the item description.

"Sniff, sniff"

Eurost sniffed, his expression became more serious, and he said:

"Sir, do you smell it? There is no smell of blood in this river of blood."

"I smelled it. Not only was there no smell of blood, but on the contrary there was a faint fragrance." Ye Yiyi looked around and answered at the same time.

"This is not a good sign..."

Eurost bent down beside the river of blood, examined it carefully, looked around, and then dipped his finger in a little blood from the river.

"Fuck! You are really not afraid of death! "Ye Yiyi was shocked.

You dare to touch the blood in this river with your bare hands? Aren't you afraid of any accidents?!

"My intuition tells me that this blood has no effect on the human body."

Eurost said, looking at the blood between his fingers. "As long as it concerns the gods, my intuition has never been wrong. I trust my intuition."

"Was it your intuition that led you to find the Holy Blood Cult?" Ye Yiyi glanced at him sideways.

"Cough cough..."

Eurost coughed twice awkwardly and pretended not to hear.

"If you continue like this, your intuition will kill you sooner or later!" Ye Yiyi said with a dark face.

In the game, this is how Eurost died, and it was a miserable death.

"If that day ever comes, it will mean that my journey as a hunter has come to an end."

The silver-haired old man smiled at Ye Yiyi, a gentlemanly smile. "I've waited for 32 years, but I still haven't seen that day."

Ye Yiyi shook his head helplessly, too lazy to say anything, so he squatted down and dipped his hand in some blood.

"It seems Your Excellency has chosen to trust my intuition."

"No, I don't believe it."

Ye Yiyi didn't want to explain what infinite blood was, and Eurost didn't refute him, but just smiled.

The blood on the fingertips was slightly warm, as if it had just flowed out of the body.

A minute passed and the blood showed no signs of clotting.

And the aroma is so fragrant, like some kind of tonic, tempting people to drink it...

The breastplate in front of Ye Yiyi moved slightly, and a shiny black dung beetle crawled out from the collar.

"Why, you like the taste?"

He took the dung beetle in his other hand and asked.

The dung beetle waved its tentacles to express its affirmativeness, and then waved its limbs as if to jump into the river of blood.

"You are quite courageous."

Ye Yiyi frowned and stuffed the dung beetle into his collar.

"You dare to drink something of unknown origin? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Eurost shook his hands, stood up and explained:

"This is thoroughly filtered divine blood. It contains no divinity, but it has a fatal attraction to other lives."

"How did you know?"

"This isn't the first time I've seen a river of blood. The Hunting God Church once discovered a deity in the Tianlong Snow Mountain bordering the northern region, half-killed by a herd of flying dragons. The blood flowing from his body dyed the entire snowy mountain red, turning a large river into a river of blood at its source. It took us a lot of effort to wipe out the animals that drank the god's blood."

"Is that so?" Ye Yiyi seemed to be lost in thought. "Then what will happen if it jumps in? Will it evolve?"

“You’ll drown.”

"what?"

"Sir, it's an insect, not a fish. It would drown if it fell into an ordinary river."

"I think the fish will drown in this blood too."

"That's not necessarily the case. Look at that."

Ye Yiyi looked in the direction of Eurost's finger and her eyes widened immediately.

He saw a golden-red fish leap out of the blood river and then fall into the blood river with a "splash".

Are there really fish living in this sacred blood river?

Ye Yiyi suddenly realized, "Wait a minute... there won't be crabs, crayfish, and bullfrogs in the upper pipes, right?"

"It's hard to say, assuming the Holy Blood Cult hasn't been wiped out," Eurost replied. "But don't worry too much. This river doesn't hold any divinity. Ordinary animals won't become demigods after drinking it. They'll just become a little stronger."

"Did that person drink it?"

"Those with divine nature will become like those with hemophilia. Those without divine nature will be like duck blood, but their bodies will become very healthy."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Sir, do you have a container for water?"

"Yes, what kind do you want?"

"It's best if it can be sealed."

"it is good."

Ye Yiyi took out a glass bottle, opened it, poured out the wine inside, and then handed it to Eurost.

"..."

The old hunter was no longer surprised by this situation, but he still took the bottle with an indescribable expression, sniffed it, and looked at the label on the bottle.

"19-year-old Bocona white wine can be sold for nearly 2000 yuan a bottle in the Empire State... What a waste."

"Then how much do you think this bottle of divine blood could fetch?"

"Priceless."

"That's it," Ye Yiyi spread his hands.

"But that would have brought the Hunting God Church to our door. That's why the Holy Blood Cult was smart and didn't sell it as divine blood... If it weren't for this moment, we could have savored this old wine."

The old hunter sighed and filled the wine bottle with the divine blood, then put it away.

"Do you think my dung beetle can drink this divine blood?" Ye Yiyi suddenly asked while teasing the anxious dung beetle.

“You can drink it, but I don’t recommend it.”

"Why, can't I drink it?"

"This divine blood will have no effect on ordinary animals if they drink it. If we successfully kill the Lord of Holy Blood, you can give it a little of the Lord's heart blood. That will have the best effect."

"Heartblood, got it!"

"It's a pity that gods can't excrete, otherwise I would suggest you feed it some divine feces." Eurost's face was full of disappointment.

I don't know what he was disappointed about...

Ye Yiyi stuffed the dung beetle, which had calmed down after seeing the pancake, into his armor, and suddenly an idea came to his mind:

"You mean there are gods of shit?"

"Judging from the dashing and heroic manner in which you used excrement to eliminate the Holy Blood Knights and bishops, I believe you are well-suited for this position."

"Fuck off!"

"Hahaha~" Eurost laughed like an old rogue.

Walking along the direction of the divine blood, Ye Yiyi pulled out the light curtain map and walked towards the direction of the offspring of the spread-winged eagle.

The location of the Lord of Holy Blood was not marked on the map fragments found in the Qingshui Channel under the land. Ye Yiyi could only go to find the descendants of the Spread-Winged Eagle first.

Eurost didn't care which way to go, since he didn't know the way anyway.

As we went deeper into the pipe, the river of blood around us became more and more turbulent.

"The flow has increased..." Ye Yiyi said to himself as he looked at the blood overflowing onto the sidewalk.

"It seems that the Lord of Holy Blood is in this direction." Eurost beside him thought thoughtfully.

Ye Yiyi looked at the map and suddenly said, "Euroste, did you hear a faint roar?"

Eurost listened for a moment and nodded.

"Keep going, there's a spacious area ahead."

The two continued forward and turned right at the end of the one-way pipeline. Not only did the view in front of them suddenly become wider, but the gradually increasing roar on the road also became clearer.

"Divine Blood Waterfall..."

Eurost looked up at the magnificent waterfall flowing down from the high metal wall and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's magnificent!"

"Don't be so spectacular, I saw the Holy Blood Priest!" Ye Yiyi pulled Eurost back into the tunnel.

"Oh?" Eurost reacted and quietly stuck his head out to observe.

They were now at the bottom of a giant structure, with a rectangular reservoir that was nearly a kilometer long and over a hundred meters wide next to them. The reservoir was connected to several giant pipes with a diameter of ten meters, and drained the divine blood waterfall that flowed down from the hundred-meter-high wall.

Not far away, on the high wall to the lower right of the waterfall, there are many protruding metal buildings.

These metal buildings are connected by stairs that lead all the way to the top of the high wall.

On those metal buildings, a group of Holy Blood priests were working together to use hooks to pull up the metal buried at the bottom of the reservoir.

"What's that doing?" Orost was a little confused.

"The Holy Blood Knight's straight sword at your waist is made of those metals."

Ye Yiyi explained casually while scanning the entire high wall with a telescope.

"There are Holy Blood Knights, but not many, only five in total. There's also an old man who looks like a bishop."

Turning around and looking at the map again, Ye Yiyi understood.

"The offspring of the eagle with spread wings is above this high wall, at the source of the waterfall."
