Chapter 839: Chapter 833: Corpse Dumping Ground

These rocks were particularly unusual, for even when set ablaze by Jin Zijin’s Chixiao, they could not be extinguished.

The rats were even more peculiar; their fur caught fire rapidly, fully engulfing their bodies as they let out piercing squeals.

Yet, even so, they dashed towards the flames like moths to a flame, uncaring even as they burned to ash.

Xiao Jinyan and the others were so scared their teeth chattered, while Gui Yunxi, who was the last to descend, was still dangling in midair.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, his hand slipped, and he fell straight down.

"What... what’s going on?" Xiao Jinyan asked through clenched teeth.

After a while, Jin Zijin noticed a large hole about the height of a person split open in a nearby mountain wall, from which an unending stream of crimson rats poured out and continually threw themselves into the fire.

He stared for a moment, then said, "We need to leave here quickly, this fire won’t last long."

With that, he scratched a few more times on several rocks streaked with dark red veins, and the flames blazed up once again.

...

Gu Youyou and the others were carried into a cave by the rats, never expecting to find a completely different world inside.

A massive underground cave emitted a red glow from its center.

The environment here was comfortably cool, reminiscent of early spring in March.

Unexpectedly, after dropping them into the nest, the rats swarmed out and left.

The rats’ poison temporarily affected certain central nerves in the humans, rendering Gu Youyou and the others immobile in the rat nest.

Among the three, Searcy, who had the highest resistance to the poison, recovered first. As the rats retreated, it didn’t take long before she could move.

She sat up, her face deathly pale, feeling extremely stifled, and cursed, "Once I get out, I’ll burn down this cave."

Gu Youyou turned her head and said, "That’s if we can even get out alive. Quick, get the antidote pills from the backpack, it’s unbearable."

After swallowing the pills and without any new toxins being injected by the rats, they were soon able to move, albeit clumsily.

There was a natural large hole in the cave, from which the red light emanated.

The three made their way to it, only to be stunned by the sight inside.

"Flame Pool?" Jin Ziyuan exclaimed. "There’s actually a Flame Pool here."

Gu Youyou was also shocked; this large hole emitting red light was indeed the Flame Pool.

The water was red, and on its surface bloomed numerous lotus flowers, which were much redder and more vibrant than those in the Flame Pool at the Imperial Palace.

Searcy bent down and hooked something strange from the pool.

They all jumped as she lifted it out of the water.

It wasn’t something ordinary, but rather the skeleton of a monkey.

"There are so many skeletons here!" Searcy exclaimed loudly.

Continuing to fish in the Flame Pool, they found it was filled with skeletons of various animals, mostly monkeys.

It turns out this place was a dumping ground; perhaps these animals accidentally fell into this deep pit and all ended up as food for the rats, accumulating over time into a full pool.

The sight was so nauseating that it made one want to vomit. Jin Ziyuan pulled Gu Youyou back and said, "Let’s first see if there’s any way out."

Gu Youyou was not just feeling nauseous; she actually started throwing up, her stomach churning unbearably.

Holding a monkey skeleton, Searcy pursed her lips, "I thought you wouldn’t be afraid of these things; I didn’t expect it to be this severe."
