71: Chapter 71 Finally, the Immortal Appears! The Smiling Masked Man Who Suddenly Appears

The dusty stone door was pushed open.

Black smoke filled the air, and gusts of yin wind blew out from within.

Accompanied by an extreme stench!

Chu Chen held his breath and stared into the Secret Chamber; with just one look, he stood frozen on the spot, deeply shocked by the scene inside.

He saw skeletons piled up like mountains inside, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see, numbering in the tens of thousands.

And!!!

Those skeletons were all very small; it seemed they were all the skeletons of children!!!

"Heavens!"

The Woman in Red Dress was also turned deathly pale with fright; the number of remains was truly too many, reaching tens of thousands, or perhaps even more.

In the center of the endless remains was a Blood Pool of several hundred square meters; the pool was nearly dry, filled with a thick, blackened liquid, and the pungent stench was precisely emanating from here.

Inside the Blood Pool, nine chains pierced through a Humanoid Creature. He had his back to the two of them, with bone spurs growing backward from every part of his skeleton, and his exposed skin was covered in tumor-like growths.

How was this a person? He was simply a monster!

"Is this the so-called Immortal!"

After seeing the Humanoid Creature's appearance with his own eyes, Chu Chen's expression became extremely ugly; in his imagination, a person with immortality should never look like this half-human, half-ghost creature.

The Humanoid Creature shrugged and let out a long howl, vigorously shaking the chains on his body, and said ferociously, "Interesting, you actually broke the Restriction on the stone door! It seems you aren't stupid!"

Chu Chen showed a smile and walked over quickly, saying, "Senior, I have only one condition for this trip! As long as you hand over the secret technique of immortality to me, I will grant you your freedom! How about it?"

The Humanoid Creature let out a strange laugh and sneer while keeping his back turned, grinning as he said, "Hehehe... Fine! Isn't it just the Immortality Technique? I'll give it to you! Come and take it!"

Chu Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to the edge of the Blood Pool, looking at The Immortal and asking, "Where is the Immortality Technique!"

In an instant.

Suddenly, the Humanoid Creature jerked his head up, and from a hideous, strange mouth, he spat out an incredibly long tongue, stabbing straight toward Chu Chen's neck.

In a flash, Chu Chen reacted quickly, retreating backward in a panic and falling into the remains; however, he was still injured, with a small bloody hole bitten into his neck.

The Humanoid Creature retracted his long tongue and let out a burst of delighted roars, his ugly face full of intoxication: "Blood! Fresh blood! Truly delicious! Such a nostalgic taste!..."

"Watch out!" The Woman in Red Dress turned pale with fright and hurriedly summoned her long-hook Magical Artifact to protect Chu Chen, saying worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Chu Chen touched the wound on his neck, staring at the Humanoid Creature in the Blood Pool with an extremely sinister gaze, and said coldly, "Senior, what is the meaning of this! Do you not want to get out anymore?"

"Jie jie jie... What do I mean? Didn't you want immortality? You are already an Immortal body now! Hahaha..."

The Humanoid Creature laughed strangely, his long tongue dancing in front of him, his crimson eyes staring fixedly at the Woman in Red Dress, clearly more eager to devour her.

The Woman in Red Dress felt her hair stand on end from the stare and couldn't help but take a few more steps back. Her mind raced as she shouted, "What are you talking about!"

The Humanoid Creature laughed strangely again and again, the chains on his body clattering: "I said, I have already bestowed upon him the power of immortality! As long as he consumes the blood and brains of living people every day, he will naturally be Immortal! Shouldn't he thank me? Little girl, you want to obtain immortality too, don't you? Come! Come to me! Just let me take one sip of your blood, and you will be Immortal!"

Hearing this.

The Woman in Red Dress couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea.

Beside her, Chu Chen's face was extremely ugly as he roared in disbelief, "Impossible! Impossible! This is the secret technique of immortality? You're lying to me! You must be lying to me!"

The Humanoid Creature laughed strangely: "If you want immortality, you must pay a price! This is your price! Haven't you always craved it? Why do you regret it now? But regret is useless! I have already planted the Seed of Immortality in you! If you don't consume blood for a single day, you will feel an unbearable itch in your heart! Oh, and if you don't release me, you will suffer the backlash of the Seed of Immortality next! You will die from ten thousand insects devouring your blood! Jie jie jie..."

Chu Chen roared ferociously, "Impossible! This is impossible! This isn't real!"

"Hehehe... I'll count one, two, three..." The Humanoid Creature opened his terrifying eyes, his mouth curling into a bizarre arc, actually showing a playful expression.

Immediately after.

Chu Chen clutched his chest and screamed in pain; he felt as if something was gnawing at his heart, a pain so unbearable that he couldn't help but struggle and roll on the ground.

"Quick, break the Seal, break the Seal, and release him!"

Chu Chen cried out in agony.

Seeing this scene, the Woman in Red Dress was already pale with fright, her face drained of color. She stumbled back a few steps, her delicate body trembling so much she couldn't say a word.

Just then.

A soft sound of footsteps came from behind.

Clap, clap, clap...

At the entrance of the Secret Chamber, a man wearing a smiling face mask walked toward them. As he walked, he clapped his hands lightly and mocked, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Killing your father and your master just to obtain the Immortality Technique, only to end up as a half-human, half-ghost thing yourself! This is truly a case of bringing trouble upon oneself!"

A voice full of disdain rang out.

"Who are you!"

Chu Chen roared loudly while enduring the intense pain.

The Smiling Masked Man gave a contemptuous laugh: "Who am I? Who could I be! Hehe... I am someone you could never imagine even in your dreams!"

The Humanoid Creature narrowed his eyes, the arrogant smile vanishing from his ugly face as he stared with extreme vigilance at the suddenly appearing Smiling Masked Man.

His powerful insight allowed him to sense a very oppressive deterrence.

At the same time, he also smelled an incredibly sweet scent from this Smiling Masked Man and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The Humanoid Creature had a premonition that if he ate this person, he would surely gain endless benefits, perhaps even escaping his current state and completely evolving into an Immortal body.

"Not good! This person who suddenly appeared has a very strong aura, and Chu Chen has been afflicted with a strange poison! I can only escape alone! What a pity! This Immortality Technique is not meant for me!"

The Woman in Red Dress thought to herself as her feet slowly shifted; she knew that if she stayed any longer, there would surely be no good end for her.

So, without looking back, she turned and ran at an extremely fast speed.

"Hong Lian! Where are you going!"

Chu Chen roared in panic.

However, that Woman in Red Dress named Hong Lian didn't pay any attention to his shouts at all. Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, flying their separate ways when disaster strikes, let alone them, who were just lovers.

Chu Chen roared, "Damn it! Damn it! I curse you to die a horrible death!"

Just then.

"Thinking of running?" The Smiling Masked Man sneered, and then with a movement of his body, he strangely appeared behind the Woman in Red Dress in an instant.
