Chapter 538 - 538 296 Walk in a straight line and then break through

Chapter 538: 296 Walk in a straight line and then break through (4000)_2 Chapter 538: 296 Walk in a straight line and then break through (4000)_2 It would take several closely coordinated Elites Hunter Brigade working in harmony and willing to make sacrifices, just to barely contend with them. A slight mishap, and they’d be completely defeated. As easily collapsible as a castle built from building blocks.

The scar-faced Elder Bloodburn from that occurrence was the strongest of the Blood Clan’s Elders. He single-handedly massacred a quarter of the elite hunters. Guarding in front of the ceremony altar like a mountain, anyone who wanted to disrupt the smooth progress of the longevity blood ceremony would be killed. The hunters lost that battle three years ago.

But now.

This severed head that appeared in front of the two of them…

Osi with his ice blade had his breath caught and lapsed into silence again.

The next second, the ice blade started to speed up suddenly.

Osi hurried to catch up and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing, I just feel like we should run faster.”

“The three gentlemen should still be waiting for us to lead the way…”

Half a minute later.

The two of them made it two kilometers away, wheezing with exhaustion. Even though they were very far away, they could faintly hear several high-pitched screams of agony.

By the time they completely arrived, all the screams had stopped. They could only hear the hoots of screech owls coming from the woods.

Ice Blade looked in front of him and unconsciously covered his nose. Osi also stopped, his nose twitched, and he felt slightly uncomfortable.

The soil in the grassland ahead was completely different from the surroundings; under the moonlight, there was a distinct red dividing line.

The soil inside the dividing line, filled to the brim with fresh blood, was like a sponge swollen with viscous liquid in each pore. The grass was similarly dyed scarlet, and the blood droplets on the drooping leaves were sparkling with a seductive color.

Everywhere there were limbs, everywhere there were corpses. In some places, the dead bodies were piled up forming a mound.

At the top of the mound, a blond silhouette sat there. His eyes were slightly closed as if he was taking a nap. The delicate face was even more pure under the moonlight, exuding nobility. The bloody aura occasionally disturbed from around his body was so intense that it formed an illusion of a ferocious bird on his shoulders. Menacing and evil, its scarlet eyes looked in the direction of the two men.

Buzz!

Their minds went blank, as if struck by lightning.

Osi and Ice Blade felt like their hearts were gripped tightly by an enormous hand, almost bursting. The veins on their foreheads throbbed wildly, fists clenched, and their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

“Are they here? They’re ten seconds late, but it doesn’t matter.”

From the nearby shadows, Sheng Feinan, wielding the Spiral Eyed Sword in his hand, came out. The blood-soaked grooves on the blade made it look more ferocious. The pupil on the sword hilt shone slightly, as if it had come to life.

Leaned against a tree trunk in the darkness behind him, a tall figure emerged. He held a flickering cigarette between his fingertips.

That dot of red and blue flame was conspicuously bright.

Osi and the rest were pulled back to earth only after taking a deep breath without caring about the strong smell of blood that the air held.

“Huff…”

A whooshing sound came from the air. It was the blond figure who had just jumped down. His feet landed on the ground with a ‘plop’.

The fresh blood soaked into the ground splashed out.

A few drops of blood rolled off the surface of the black leather boots.

With a flicker, he appeared behind Osi and the others.

Osi seemed to have sensed a dangerous aura and instinctively twisted his shoulders. But he was still gripped tightly by an iron-like hand.

“Wait…”

Whoosh!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The wind howled, and the flesh in their mouths rolled. The state they had just recovered from went back to being a blur, and they couldn’t even open their eyes.

Every once in a while, however, Casio would stop to allow Osi and the others to give directions.

Five minutes later, they arrived at the entrance to a canyon.

“There is a cave at the end of the canyon, where Alfama’s direct bloodline nests. However, they have set up many traps and alarms in the canyon. It’s as difficult as climbing to the sky to infiltrate without making any noise, and there are many hidden sentries in the bushes…”

Ice blade expounds on the considerable information that the numerous Mercury hunters traded with their lives three years ago. That failed battle was not meaningless.

“Is that cave conspicuous? Is it straight ahead?” After hearing some of the information Casio pondered, and asked.

“Just straight ahead. It’s quite noticeable, a bare mountain wall with only a large cave…” Ice Blade said.

“Fine,” Casio nodded, and leaned slightly forward.

The tips of his boots sank deep into the mud.

Osi’s eyes flickered in realization, instantly understanding what the three men standing in front of them intended to do. Based on their usual way of proceeding…

It wasn’t hard to guess.

Charge in, kill. They walked in a straight line, eliminating all obstacles in their way. In fact, all they needed to know was the location. Traps, scouts, and alarms were meaningless to these three men…

“Ah!”

“Boom boom boom!”

“Slop! Clatter! Rip!”

“No…”

Noises echoed sporadically throughout the canyon, gradually fading into the distance. Osi and Ice Blade exchanged a mute glance.

***************

Inside the thick forest in the canyon, a straight trail tore through the ground, extending directly from the canyon entrance to the end of the rock wall.

Many traps were destroyed by brute force, dozens of trees fell and shattered along the way, and several corpses were randomly scattered amongst the fallen bushes. Mosquitoes crawled around, waiting for the bodies to decompose in the damp environment.

In front of the rock wall, the three men, Casio, slowly paused their steps.

In front of them was a bare shadow wall with oddly shaped rocks under the moonlight. Only at the five-meter-high spot, an almost dead giant tree grew between the cracks.

The tree trunk’s skin was wrinkled, like scales, full of traces eroded by time. The entire tree was twisted, and the roots looked like pythons, entwining and rooting in the crevices of the rocks.

Underneath the tree root, there was indeed a cave in an arch shape.

The shape did not appear natural, rather as if it were manually excavated. However, after years of weathering, the traces had basically integrated with the stone surface. Casio approached and extended his hand to touch the surface of the cave wall.

His fingers could faintly feel the lines and patterns.

It seemed like there could be patterns of the archway on it.

Casio took out the Devil’s Book from his chest and turned to the page where the map was located. It depicted the entire layout of the ruins. There were six levels in the Akaba Ruins, shaped like an inverted pyramid. The first level was the largest with an area of over a thousand square kilometers.

Gradually, it became smaller from the top to the bottom.

The overall structure was divided into three floors each for both upper and lower halves. The upper three floors were relatively safer in comparison to the lower three, where dangers doubled. The latter was fraught with traps, exotic species, poison, and much more.

The Southern Dipper secret treasure Casio sought after was in the lower three floors.

During this time, they had planned two routes according to the map, from the first underground level to the fifth. The first route was somewhat longer, bypassing many dangers and unknown areas. The second route was much faster, choosing mostly areas with dangers within the acceptable range.

In the moonlight, Casio examined the map for a while, and soon found the location of the passage on the map. It turned out to be located on the west side of the ruins, while the passage he had entered last time was in the southern end. The relative positions of the two were clearly visible in his mind.

That’s the advantage of having a map.

This way when they entered ruins it would not be like walking into a labyrinth, resembling a headless fly. Moving with purpose, avoid danger.

It could make the searching efficiency increase exponentially.

“Tap tap tap … Tap tap tap …”

In the cave passage, the hurried and powerful sound of footsteps echoed faintly. It seemed that the Blood Clan stationed in the nest responded and sent elite support outside.

Planning to flank the intruders, capture or kill them.

“Move faster, some scum has broken into the canyon!”

“It must be those blue-eyed thieves who are not afraid of death!”

“Kill them all, take off their heads! Hahaha…”

About ten Blood Clan members were running wildly in the passage, the hem of their black robes flapping noisily. The excitement of hunting permeated the squad.

Crack!

Suddenly, a black boot crushed a stone.

The corner position.

Three figures stood like a wall, blocking the path.
