Chapter 1792

After further upgrades and modifications by Qian Huan, the sand table clearly also possessed some of the original functions of the Haoyuan Golden Mirror.

The red mist didn't join in immediately; it actually drifted toward He Lingchuan, circled him a few times, and went "Eh."

He Lingchuan sensed that it was ill-intentioned.

Sure enough, the red mist hissed again: "Fragrant, so fragrant! Give this one to me to eat too?"

Xiao Wencheng frowned: "You just swallowed the crop stone of a five-headed Ghost Vulture, why eat a practitioner?"

"Full of blood and energy, powerful origin!" One could tell from the voice that the red mist was drooling. "If this person were taken to the Heavenly Demon, they would definitely fight to take him as a skin. He seems to have many other auras on him; eating him would allow for slow savoring!"

Xiao Wencheng glanced at He Lingchuan, and the latter noticed that he didn't stop it immediately.

Regarding this Island Master He, Xiao Wencheng actually had many questions in his heart. Should he use the red mist to probe him?

But he immediately dismissed this thought; don't create extra trouble.

The Soul-Sucking Mirror shouted in He Lingchuan's chest: "Ouch, it guessed everything! This thing has good eyes."

The master was indeed the divine descent body that Nalakuvara loved most.

The Ghost Ape bared its teeth at the red mist, its shoulders and back slightly arched, making a move to pounce.

The red mist drifted closer, and the Floating Life Blade appeared on its own, ringing softly.

He Lingchuan leaned on the blade and said indifferently: "It's not certain who eats whom; shall we try?"

This blade of his specialized in cutting formless and bodiless things.

He himself specialized in collecting lonely souls and wild ghosts.

The red mist didn't just look at people with its eyes. In its perception, as soon as He Lingchuan finished this sentence, the aura of a living person suddenly disappeared, leaving only a huge black hole in place!

Deep, dark, bottomless, as if it could suck anything in, and even the light around the black hole was distorted.

The pressure from the black hole was already very strong, yet something else seemed to be hidden deep inside the black hole, ill-intentioned and waiting for an opportunity.

This thing was even more terrifying! The red mist stopped and asked suspiciously: "What exactly are you?"

It actually felt great danger. So what was this young human? Was he like the glowing bait on an anglerfish's mouth?

The red mist felt that if it pounced and bit, something very bad would likely happen.

Xiao Wencheng on the side was impatient: "If you keep dragging this out, the punishment we agreed upon will take effect."

As soon as the words fell, the chain on the red mist's neck tightened automatically.

"What's the rush?" The red smoke was no longer greedy or foul-mouthed, flashing to the edge of the sand table. "It won't be a moment earlier, nor a cup of tea later."

Then, it jumped in.

This time it went very smoothly.

After the red mist entered the sand table, it didn't grow larger like the previous black fish; it remained a thin wisp of red, dissipating into the sand table after a while.

But not long after, Dong Rui suddenly reached out and pointed: "Look at the Upside-Down Lake!"

After the Upside-Down Lake was abandoned, both the Tiangong and the Illusion Sect left, and the corpses on the battlefield were scattered everywhere, too late to be cleaned up. Now, the lakeside was covered with a miserable red.

Then it was Banqiu, Yu Village... The more places where the dead were piled up, the thicker and more miserable the red mist covering them became! Dong Rui watched intently: "What exactly is this thing?"

"Blood Demon, also called Wangliang," Xiao Wencheng said solemnly. "The Immortal-Demon War three thousand years ago caused the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, leaving the world in misery, with the dead numbering in the hundreds of millions. From their flesh and blood, this kind of monster was born."

"They only appear in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, either on the battlefield of Shura or during great disasters and plagues; the more flesh and blood they collect, the stronger they become." He looked at the scene in the mirror. "They will also devour their own kind, with big monsters eating small monsters. This Blood Demon has powerful magic, causing monstrous killing in the early medieval period. Later, it was captured by the Immortal Venerable, and it couldn't be destroyed at once, so it had to be suppressed and slowly refined."

The more flesh and blood collected, the stronger? Xiao Wencheng spoke implicitly, but He Lingchuan understood; this backup plan couldn't be brought out at the beginning because—

Not enough people died.

He Lingchuan looked at the sand table.

The space-time rift opened by Miaozhantian just now could even suck in immortals, and the nearby mountains, landscapes, villages, and towns also suffered devastating disasters. Especially within ten miles directly facing the space-time rift, there were almost no intact buildings, and even several mountain peaks were stripped and broken.

Even a quarter of Silver Pearl City was destroyed.

If the space-time rift hadn't been open for such a short time, the entire Silver Pearl Island might have been sucked in.

Under a collapsed nest, are there any intact eggs? The distance between Banqiu and Silver Pearl City wasn't actually far, but because the environment was livable, there were several thousand residents.

Now, there were almost no living people left.

The number of civilian casualties had far exceeded the personnel losses of both fighting sides.

It could be said that it wasn't until Silver Pearl Island was flowing with blood, and even several great experts from the Tiangong and the Illusion Sect died on the front line, that the basic conditions for the Blood Demon to take action were met.

Qian Huan had captured it himself back then and couldn't kill it, which showed how difficult this thing was to deal with. Now, it was time to let the Tiangong taste its power.

Of course, the current Blood Demon was not at its peak, so it had to first collect flesh and blood on the battlefield to nourish and strengthen itself before it could have the power to fight when facing the Heavenly Demon.

The red mist spreading everywhere on the sand table only lasted for about two quarters of an hour before suddenly retracting and disappearing on the spot.

Dong Rui widened his eyes, but didn't see where the Blood Demon went.

Xiao Wencheng suddenly pointed to a location in Silver Pearl City: "On the roof, that three-eyed crow."

Dong Rui's nose was almost touching the sand table before he discovered a small black dot on the roof of an intact red-brick residential house.

This was too unfriendly to his eyes, but the sand table was not the Haoyuan Golden Mirror after all and couldn't directly enlarge the details of a local area.

He Lingchuan took out the Soul-Sucking Mirror from his chest and whispered: "Penetrate!"

The single-sided mirror turned into a double-sided penetrating mirror, shining into the sand table, and the scene suddenly became larger.

The Soul-Sucking Mirror had been greatly supplemented by the Emperor Flowing Pulp some time ago and took the opportunity to develop some practical small functions, such as acting as a magnifying glass.

Dong Rui grabbed the mirror to look at the sand table and immediately saw the black dot on the roof clearly.

From the appearance, this was just an oversized ordinary crow, pitch black, not very conspicuous at night, with smooth and shiny feathers, but its eyes emitted an ominous red light, and a third eye had opened on its forehead.

"The appearance of a Ghost Vulture; it's usually a crow and only reveals its true body when fighting. The third eye on its forehead can make the prey that sees it confused." Xiao Wencheng explained. "The Blood Demon is naturally sinister and sneaky, likes to do things in the dark, and rarely launches attacks head-on. When we captured it before, even under the master's nose, it could escape time and time again and successively caused the deaths of two of my junior brothers." ===== CHAPTER 1793 =====
