184: Section 184

Soon, he entered the state of the Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique.

The vast starry sky appeared before his eyes.

In the distant night, bright starlight was scattered everywhere.

The third star directly in front was almost fully lit, with only the last corner remaining.

This indicated that Lin Yi was about to step into the 3-Star Realm.

In the distance, a Young Tiger wreathed in white light came galloping joyfully toward Lin Yi.

Before long, the Young Tiger arrived close by.

It ran happily around Lin Yi.

Looking at the Young Tiger before him, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face.

When he reached out his hand, the Young Tiger obediently nudged its head toward him.

It then lay down beside Lin Yi, just like a well-behaved big cat.

Lin Yi noticed that ever since earlier in the day.

After the Young Tiger chewed on Li Si's mental energy, its size seemed to have changed slightly.

It was larger than before, and the white light on its body was even more dazzling.

"Could it be that you can only grow by devouring mental energy?"

Lin Yi muttered to himself.

The Young Tiger looked up at Lin Yi, its eyes flashing as if it understood what he had said.

It even stuck out its tongue and licked its lips.

Responding to Lin Yi's words.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled and patted its head.

He then closed his eyes and entered the state of Cultivation once again.

The white tiger just lay beside Lin Yi, keeping him company in silence.

...

Late at night.

At the foot of Wu Mountain.

An eerie blood-red color blanketed the long night.

Rolling blood clouds, looking like masses of blood mist, shrouded Wu Mountain.

Chu Zhengxiong, Captain Han Bin, and the others looked up at the blood-red night sky.

Their expressions were all extremely grave.

"It's fortunate that we came today, otherwise those rats from Blood Drop would have really succeeded!"

Chu Zhengxiong said with a frown.

As he finished speaking, the captains of the other teams all nodded.

Aside from the 6th Monster Hunting Team which was executing a mission in Xinghai City,

the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th teams had all arrived here.

They were also on high alert, with not a trace of a smile on their faces.

Even Chu Zhengxiong, who usually had the best composure, had a glint of grave caution in his eyes.

After a long while, Captain Han Bin said in a low voice, "Up the mountain!"

Just as these two words were spoken,

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The captains of the five teams ascended the mountain first.

The team members behind them followed closely, running into the mountain.

Rumble—

Suddenly, the blood-red night sky above Wu Mountain

emitted a dull, thunderous roar. The blood clouds churned as if they wanted to swallow up the world, causing anyone who saw them to feel uneasy and fearful.

On top of Wu Mountain, an altar was placed in the center.

Surrounding it were eighteen pillars.

On each pillar, a person was tied up; there were men and women, and all their clothing had been removed.

Their feet were suspended in the air, and there was a blood groove right beneath them.

The fresh blood flowing from their bodies traveled down the pillars and into the blood grooves.

And each blood groove led to the altar in the very center.

A person wearing a blood-red robe could be seen dancing wildly on the altar, as if performing some kind of ritual.

Every time he finished a segment of the dance,

the blood clouds overhead would churn violently once again.

From time to time, this would be accompanied by 'boom' sounds.

The scene was extremely bloody and filled with an eerie, unfathomable aura.

Until the blood in the bodies of the people on those eighteen pillars had all drained away,

Blood Drop Cultists would immediately bring up eighteen more people to replace them.

These people did not resist, did not cry out, and did not wail.

They were as if willing to do so, obediently allowing themselves to be tied to the pillars.

Even though the eighteen people before them had all been drained of blood and died,

it could not cause any panic among them...

Until they were tied to the pillars again, and blood slowly flowed down the pillars into the blood grooves.

The blood clouds overhead became even more turbulent.

It was as if they had received fresh blood once again, making them incomparably excited.

Time passed minute by minute.

The blood-red night sky became increasingly bewitching and eerie.

The clusters of blood clouds truly looked as if they had been soaked in blood.

The person on the altar had not stopped for a single moment.

Even after two or three hours had passed, he was still dancing back and forth there.

As if he possessed inexhaustible stamina.

Suddenly, a Blood Drop Cultist wearing a blood-red robe ran over.

After whispering a few words to the person on the altar,

he, who had never stopped, slowly turned his head.

Suddenly, a hideous and terrifying face slowly appeared before his eyes.

Against the backdrop of the blood-red night sky, it appeared particularly malevolent.

There was not a trace of white in his eyes; they were completely replaced by blood-red.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled upward, and a scent of blood erupted from his surroundings.

The next moment, the Blood Drop Cultists surrounding the altar seemed to have received some kind of order.

They hurriedly bowed deeply, and then vanished on the spot.

Following that, he turned his head back and continued to dance those eerie steps.

The lives of the people on the eighteen pillars were gradually fading away.

Fresh blood continued to flow along the grooves toward the altar.

Boom—

A loud noise.

In the blood-red forest, a member of the Monster Hunting Team was sent flying heavily.

Pfft...

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he endured the intense pain and looked up.

He saw a Blood Drop Cultist wearing a blood-red robe walking slowly toward him from less than five meters away.

Just as the Monster Hunting Team member braced his body and stood up,

Whoosh—

The Blood Drop Cultist flashed in front of him.

And reached out a hand to grab his throat.

He lifted the Monster Hunting Team member right up.

The immense force made the Monster Hunting Team member's expression change drastically.

A strong sense of suffocation left him without even the strength to resist.

Just as he was about to suffocate,

Swish—

an arrow shot rapidly toward the cultist.

Just one second before the arrow was about to pierce the cultist's head.
