Chapter 400: Chapter 226: I Suggest You Hurry Up and Crouch in the Corner with Your Hands Over Your Head

Gu Shanhai unearthed the stone platform, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the break.

"This thing’s preservation abilities are a bit beyond my expectations," Gu Shanhai looked at the blood, and from its color and smell, concluded it was indeed fresh blood.

"It’s almost like the Blood Spring, bubbling out non-stop, must have hit a major artery," Gu Shanhai continued to dig down until, centered around the stone platform, he uncovered a vast Blood Pool.

The blood wasn’t endless, after filling up the Blood Pool there was no more gushing out, clearly reaching its limit.

If it were truly endless, Gu Shanhai was ready to shear the sheep, so to speak.

"That’s it? Nothing else?" Gu Shanhai stared at the Blood Pool, feeling that the secrets were deeply hidden.

Firstly, was this blood truly just ordinary human blood, and furthermore, mortal blood? Although it was unclear who had stored it here, and managed to preserve it, from any angle, that seemed to be the only value.

There was nothing at the bottom of the Blood Pool; Gu Shanhai had even reached the origin, the very bottom of the stone platform.

"So all that effort for nothing?" Gu Shanhai’s face darkened; he feared neither hardship nor fatigue, but he feared walking away empty-handed.

Since the effort was already expended, he absolutely couldn’t leave empty-handed, so Gu Shanhai turned his attention to the blood.

"Draw, draw all the blood for me!"

He had been busy for so long, there had to be some reward, akin to a fisherman who catches no fish but still drinks a few mouthfuls of river water to show that he didn’t come up completely empty-handed.

Taking out a water pump and other tools like a power source from his carry-on laboratory, he promptly began the blood extraction operation.

High-power was indeed useful; the level of blood in the Blood Pool visibly began to drop.

But this seemed to have irritated something, as blood began to well up from the bottom of the Blood Pool once more.

However, it was not as efficient as Gu Shanhai’s water pump, possibly due to a narrow passage, and it could only slow the pump’s efficiency, simply unable to keep pace.

"Interesting, where did this thing get so much human blood? With this amount, if someone dared to slaughter mortals, they would be discovered and killed by the Great Mahayana Truth Sect immediately, so is this their old stock?" Gu Shanhai watched with interest, not caring where the blood came from, he just wanted to force out whatever was seemingly alive.

Therefore, he really wanted to shout: Water pump, show me your limit, keep pumping!

But he didn’t shout; instead, he silently lowered three more pumps into the pool.

One pump had already made the opposition struggle; with three more, it was completely overwhelmed.

Only after the Blood Pool was emptied did Gu Shanhai see a small spring eye oozing blood.

When he had opened the stone platform earlier, there was no spring eye; it apparently appeared after the Blood Pool was covered or when the blood level dropped to a certain point, Gu Shanhai wasn’t too sure, he wasn’t omniscient.

Although having Spiritual Sense, its strength was only at the Spirit Origin Stage, he could form a three-dimensional structure, but venturing into an unknown place was risky, what if there was blowback?

Now that a breakthrough was found, the simplest method was to directly blow it open, there was no need for probing.

Gu Shanhai immediately moved away from the spring eye, then aimed with the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon spewed laser dragon breath from midair, hitting the spring eye directly, which began to dissolve and form an even larger pit.

Mana Halo Dragon Breath naturally has various expressions and attack methods, not limited to explosions.

"Who dares disturb my slumber~" a deep voice emanated from beneath the ground, and in that moment, a fierce wind carrying a strong stench of blood whipped through the area.

From within the pit, an ephemeral blood-colored phantom emerged, its features unclear, giving Gu Shanhai the impression of a shadow, after all, what else could it be if not a shadow?

"It wasn’t me, I’m just passing by," Gu Shanhai immediately denied, especially since he noticed that the other’s aura kept rising and its body becoming more solid, transforming from a shadow to something akin to a biscuit—at least the facial features were visible.

It was a sullen-looking old man. Understandably, Gu Shanhai thought, if he were sleeping comfortably and suddenly someone bulldozed his bedroom, he’d have the same expression of wanting to flay the intruder.

"Young man, you’re the only one here, be mindful of the context when you lie," the old man finally solidified into human form, wearing a blood-red robe, and noticed at once that Gu Shanhai was at the Spirit Origin Stage.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai felt his compatibility with the other might not be high, given he wore a blue robe and the other a blood robe—red and green together were an eyesore, how could they mesh well.

"A Magic Awakening Stage? No, a Half-step Peeping Realm, how could you with such strength be buried here." Unluckily, Gu Shanhai also recognized the other’s power realm. If it were the Middle Three Realms, he might not have been able to identify it, but the Upper Three Realms were different. With their numbers around him being excessively high, and even living and sharing body data, it was normal for him to recognize the other’s realm.
