Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Sea of the Undead

The Hollow Void Practitioners closely followed behind the four guards, relentlessly pursuing them.

This battle had completely taken them by surprise.

With their expectations, having so many at the Great Perfection of Hollow Void and armed with so many powerful Spiritual Treasures, joining forces should have subdued even an ironclad opponent.

However, the outcome of the battle shocked everyone.

Dozens against four, yet their own side had lost three men and nearly twenty were injured, including many with serious injuries who, even if they survived, would suffer greatly diminished strength.

Not a single one of the four opponents had died!

More importantly, this battle had cost their side countless magical treasures, even shattering many Spiritual Treasures!

The Thirteen Battle Formation Flags of the Western Mountain Sanctuary, the Sun Moon Pearl of the Eastern Peak Sanctuary of the Sacred Mountain, the Fire God Divine Sword of the Leaving Fire Sect, the War Dragon Drum of the Eastern Spring Sect...

Having lost three powerful cultivators did not affect their camp’s overall strength significantly, but the loss of so many potent Spiritual Treasures and Magic Artifacts, which only severely injured the four of them, posed a question: if they healed and retaliated, what could possibly hold them back?

Who knew if they had any rapid healing methods? Hence, the best strategy was to press forward in one fierce push, giving them no chance to catch their breath.

The Hollow Void Practitioners at the front pursued fiercely, and the troop that followed was just as hasty.

Carson Flores followed the troop at a steady pace.

Although he was only at the Nascent Soul realm, his speed was quite exceptional, fully able to keep up with the Hollow Void Practitioners ahead of him, yet he was in no rush.

Let them handle the vanguard matters.

It was enough for him to watch the excitement.

This chase continued until dawn, by which all had deepened into the core area of the Valley of Death.

Carson Flores once again saw the Sky-Piercing White Jade Platform split in two, but everyone only paused briefly before moving deeper.

A damaged Formation clearly wasn’t the objective of the guards.

After traveling several more kilometers, the group suddenly stopped and stared ahead with horror in their eyes.

In front of them stood a massive hill with a strange shape, unlike other mountain peaks that shoot straight into the clouds, but resembling a rounded bun.

A blood-red bun.

This bun-shaped hill swarmed densely with undead creatures, like a thick mass of ants. The skeletons of the undead all exhibited a bizarre red hue, and the empty eye sockets flared with twin orbs of blood-red spectral fire, as though pulsating souls.

When the Cultivator troop appeared, all the skeletons stopped moving, turning their heads and staring intently at everyone.

The countless chilly gazes instantly caused everyone to shudder in fear.

So many!

This was virtually a Sea of the Undead!

"Good Lord, what is this? These are all skeletons, how can they still be alive?"

"Legend has it that this area was drenched with the blood of an Immortal, imbued with strange magical powers, causing all the Demonic Beasts here to mutate into bloodthirsty frenzies, and all the underground skeletons to rise up, gaining life once again..."

"This is too terrifying!"

"These undead are densely packed on this hill; could the secret of the Valley of Death be hidden inside this mountain?"

"It must be, the four guards just now all fled into the caves on the mountain’s flank..."

"Caves? There are holes everywhere on this mountain, which one can we enter?"

"Enter my ass, indeed there are many holes, but every hole is filled with countless undead. To get inside, we’d have to fight our way through..."

"Just a bunch of rotten bones, wouldn’t a punch scatter dozens of them?"

"I’m afraid it’s not that simple; if so, then wouldn’t all these eerie undead covering the mountain just be for decoration?"

"What about the big guys, what are they planning to do?"

Carson Flores stood among the crowd, glancing at the high-level Hollow Void elders ahead.

What exactly lay inside the cave, they did not know. Hence, even though they had tracked the guards here, they dared not rush in, but gathered together to deliberate.

"No matter the discussion, we ultimately have to enter," Carson muttered internally, reflecting on the blood and heavy casualties they had endured to get this far; surely they couldn’t just give up halfway.

The ruined Formation platform was right there, unguarded, and the four injured guardians had retreated into this Crimson Hill, further evidenced by the numerous undead covering the hill. Clearly, the real secret of the Valley of Death was hidden deep within the mountain.

Having reached a treasure mountain, how could they return empty-handed?

With the four guards severely wounded, now more than ever, they wouldn’t give up.

Sure enough, after brief deliberation, they made their decision.

"To the mountain!"

The injured Hollow Void Practitioners were left behind, and the rest reassembled into teams. After a quick distribution of roles, a large group of Hollow Void Practitioners charged toward the dense Sea of the Undead.

The undead surged toward them like a wave of blood.

"Clang!"

A leading elder summoned a golden bell, engulfing everyone in golden light. Accompanied by a massive bell sound, a golden ring of light instantaneously radiated outward.

Wherever the light ring spread, the undead were knocked off their feet, tumbling over like waves.

Carson Flores looked closely, his pupils constricting.

Under such a powerful impact, although these blood-red undead were instantly knocked over, they didn’t scatter as anticipated!

Astonishingly, they were unharmed!
