400: Monsters in the Underground Space

“So well hidden!”

“No wonder after entering Qingquan City during the day, I didn't detect any large-scale battle fluctuations.”

Hidden in the shadow of a Saint Blood Church, Wang Chen followed these guys into their hidden stronghold.

The recent battle had left the buildings above ground shattered, with ruins and collapsed structures visible everywhere.

However, underground, there were very few signs of destruction, only a few collapses; otherwise, the condition of the underground space remained unchanged, and power supply was still maintained.

“It seems that most of the Holy Blood Church remnants in Qingquan City are gathered here.”

“Perhaps there’s even a Seven-Turn Bishop overseeing this place.”

Wang Chen, hidden in the shadows, advanced while observing his surroundings, thinking silently to himself.

Along the way, the number of Holy Blood Church remnants he had seen exceeded two hundred; although he hadn't seen any Six-Turn high-ranks like Scarface, there were at least four ordinary Six-Turn.

Furthermore, the number of Holy Blood Church remnants with 5th Rank strength exceeded thirty.

These…

In Wang Chen's eyes, these were all walking points!

However, at this moment, he did not act rashly, but continued to hide in the shadows.

The Evil Blood Nest had not yet been found, and exposing himself now would be too soon.

Moreover, in such a large stronghold, there must be a Seven-Turn Bishop of the Holy Blood Church presiding, and that's a big deal; acting rashly could lead to serious trouble.

After all, after their strength increased to Seven-Turn, a Awakener could already be called a Great Master.

At this stage, the four-dimensional attributes would not increase much, but they had already begun to touch the power of rules in preparation for condensing a Domain.

This made the destruction caused by every Seven-Turn Professional extremely terrifying.

At this stage, a little of their power could cause 1.1 or even 1.5 times the destruction, and if they were a Genius, it was not impossible to reach twice the power.

The reason for this was that although they had not condensed a Domain at this stage, contact with rules allowed them to leverage the magic power between heaven and earth to enhance their attacks.

Wang Chen was confident he could deal with a Awakener who had just entered Seven-Turn, but that was only if the opponent was alone and he was ganging up on him with his three little ones.

If the opponent had helpers, and a large group at that, he would only have one path: to temporarily avoid their Edge.

Moreover…

The underground space had a complex terrain, and its height was only five meters, which was completely unsuitable for Ice Purity to unleash her combat state; if they truly fought, he would be at a disadvantage.

“First, find the Evil Blood Nest, blow it up, and cause chaos in the underground space.”

Stealthily moving in the shadows, Wang Chen silently pondered his next actions.

His plan was simple: use the characteristics of the Evil Blood Nest to throw this Holy Blood Church remnant stronghold into disarray.

The Evil Blood Nest consumes flesh and Holy Quartzs to spawn soldiers, and through it, these created monsters can be controlled.

However, once the Evil Blood Nest is destroyed, these created monsters will be unrestrained and will indiscriminately attack all enemies that appear beside them.

Given the number of Holy Blood Church remnants who died at the outpost outside Qingquan City, as long as this stronghold provides enough Holy Quartzs, at least thirty 5th Rank monsters can be spawned.

These guys are fearless of death, feel no pain, and when they go crazy, they don't recognize anyone, making them the perfect cannon fodder!

With these guys taking the hits in front, Wang Chen felt he had at least an eighty percent chance of wiping out all the Holy Blood Church remnants in this stronghold.

…

Creak, creak!!

As they delved deeper into the underground space, the evil aura in the air grew denser, and looking around, the ground and the supporting pillars were covered in a faint, terrifying evil blood light.

Upon arriving here, the hooded Saint Blood Church raised his arm, and the crowd behind him stopped in unison.

“Hand over all your spatial equipment to me, and then wait here.”

Taking the spatial equipment containing the flesh raw materials, the Saint Blood Church instructed, then turned and continued deeper.

It could be seen that his body trembled slightly as he advanced, as if something terrifying was waiting for him in the distance.

Creak, creak!

As they moved forward, the eerie chewing sounds grew clearer, and wisps of blood mist began to float in the air; enveloped in this blood mist, an enormous presence continuously writhed.

This creature was entirely blood-red, with countless meter-long tentacles constantly waving on its body surface; those with trypophobia would surely faint upon seeing it.

This monster was massive, its height reaching the ceiling, and its width exceeding twenty meters.

As the Saint Blood Church approached, it could be seen that the monster had no nose, eyes, or ears, only a large mouth occupying half its body, constantly opening and closing, with two rows of ferocious fangs gleaming with chilling coldness.

The Saint Blood Church watched with his own eyes as the corpse of one of his companions was bitten by the large mouth, churned into minced meat in two or three breaths, with even the bones turning to dust.

“Hoo!”

This terrifying scene caused the Saint Blood Church, who still held some status, to let out a heavy breath.

If one day he were to be thrown into the mouth of this monster, he would rather be burned to ashes before dying.

“What are you hesitating for?”

Just as he hesitated to move forward, a muffled voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The blood-red monster's body continuously writhed, and its waving tentacles parted, revealing a hunched figure.

This was an extremely old man, with sunken eye sockets and emerald green eyes that resembled two ghost fires in the hazy blood mist.

His body was not tall, and hunched over, he looked like a dwarf, but the aura emanating from him was extremely terrifying!

However…

At this moment, it was clearly visible that there was a huge wound around the old man's waist, almost cutting him in half, with broken internal organs and white spinal bones faintly visible within.

Moreover, on this wound, there seemed to be a highly corrosive power, causing the budding flesh to sizzle and corrode as soon as they appeared.

“Bishop Ryan, your subordinate has successfully collected all the flesh and corpses from outside Qingquan City.”

Upon seeing the old man, the hooded Saint Blood Church bowed respectfully, holding out the spatial equipment in both hands.

“Hmm!”

Hearing this, Bishop Ryan nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, he drew the spatial equipment into his grasp.

“You did very well!”

After taking out the corpses and flesh from the spatial equipment and throwing them near the Evil Blood Nest's mouth, Ryan praised him and then asked:

“Did you encounter any setbacks on this trip? Did you find any trace of Priest Li?”
