Chapter 416

"Curious about the changes in your body? You absorbed my flesh and blood; if there wasn't even this change, wouldn't I be too weak?"

That human head said with a smile:

"Look, I didn't play tricks this time, right?"

Xia De nodded and retracted the chain. It was just that the chain did not disappear out of thin air, but retracted into Xia De's sleeve, but he did not feel anything drilling into his sleeve.

"I can feel the flame of desire in your soul; it's very pure."

That head continued to praise in a low voice; Xia De shook his head violently, took a deep breath to adjust his state, and after confirming that both his body and spirit were completely recovered, he planned to leave.

The first ray of sunlight shining on Lengshuigang was a matter of dozens of minutes ago; he was still thinking about the red-haired princess.

But thinking of Princess Lei Qianya, the distractions in his heart made him think of more things. This was the sequelae of that piece of flesh and blood; power naturally had a price. Within a month, Xia De would always let his imagination run wild with these strange things.

"I..."

"You wouldn't want to thank me, would you?"

The head in the pool continued to laugh.

"Of course not, I just wanted to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xia De stood in front of the door to leave and asked backward.

"I was born from desire; as long as there is desire in this world, I will never disappear. What I want to do is just to witness your desires; helping you is just wanting to see how far you can go."

That charming laughter was no different from when Xia De came. Failing to obtain Xia De's soul, it did not look disappointed at all:

"After parting this time, we will definitely meet again; I hope that next time we face each other, you can give me new surprises."

Xia De opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing. He knew that he could not trap this thing, and the failed seal could no longer trap it. The other party's danger level would definitely not be lower than the angel level; although it did not show any combat power in front of him, even if a thirteen-tier warlock encountered this thing, it was hard to say what the result would be.

You know, Xia De, who contained a drop of divinity in his soul, almost completely got lost in desire.

"Then goodbye."

He said softly and politely, turned and left, passed through the opened iron door, and ran in the direction where the sea breeze came from.

With the sound of footsteps moving away, in the pool, dozens or hundreds of times more hands and feet than Xia De saw just now extended from under the water surface like peacock feathers being spread out, and then retracted.

The sound of water was splashing, but only the head did not move. With her chin resting on the ground by the pool, she looked at the direction Xia De left with a smile:

"You really think that a mortal body can absorb my flesh and blood as perfectly as you?"

Humming lightly, she hummed an ancient ballad and returned to the water:

"So, you don't even know what you are."

The passage behind the iron door was very similar to the rugged narrow path of the damp little chapel, but perhaps because of the barrier of that dark room, it did not collapse like the road he came from.

With Xia De's progress, the damp sea breeze in front became more and more intense, and the sound of splashing water in his ears also became clearer. It was just that the further forward, the narrower the passage became.

Until Xia De could almost see the light in the distance, the narrow passage could only allow him to pass sideways.

Forced to use the Moonlight Greatsword to slash stones to open the way, the road that would take only a few minutes in a normal state took Xia De twenty minutes to finish.

Along the narrow rock crevices all the way up, and when the hand of Xia De, who was covered in dirt, finally touched the not-so-bright sunlight, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning.

Xia De estimated his current position, probably behind the cliff on the side of Aurora Manor.

"Finally coming out."

When he finally used the sword in his hand to break the last bit of stone obstruction and climbed out of the crevice with difficulty, he found that the faintness of the light was because of the current position problem.

This was a pier recessed inward under the sea cliff; it was probably like the bottom of the sea cliff being hollowed out, and the seawater continuously flowed into the bottom of the cliff and slapped the ground, and the ground tilted upward until the rock wall Xia De broke open.

The rotten wooden trestle, as well as the wooden boat that only had wreckage left on the ground, all represented that this place was once used as a pier. Thinking of the predecessor of Aurora Manor, it was a stronghold of the Ringed Shushi, and the damp little chapel and the dark room sealing the relic were also built by the fish-men.

This was enough to infer that hundreds of years ago, the cultists in the manor used the wine cellar and the small pier at the bottom of the sea cliff to transport some dangerous items and used this place as an escape route. It was just that as the relic was sealed inside the passage, this hidden small pier was also abandoned until Xia De came here.

"Although that witch only comes to Lengshuigang occasionally and can't live in the manor for a few days a year, does she really know nothing about the underground of the manor?"

Thinking about things in his heart, Xia De checked the ramp on the pier. Clinging to the wall, he leaned against a skeleton. Because of the long-term wind and humidity, the clothes on the corpse had almost completely disappeared, and there were remnants of flesh and blood attached to the bones, but it was completely impossible to rely on this to judge who this was.

Besides that, there was a lot of garbage and fish corpse remnants washed up by the sea here. But there was no sign of recent human activity; it seemed that the people in Aurora Manor really didn't know about this place.

Along the ramp downward, Xia De prepared to enter the water directly and then swim back to Lengshuigang. And as Xia De got closer to the outside of the sea cliff, the sound of the roaring waves he heard became louder, and the sky outside was finally clearly seen by him.

It was clearly a summer morning, but the sky presented a pale yellowish color. Accompanied by the surging waves, the drizzling raindrops that had lasted all night were swept by the strong wind toward the direction of Lengshuigang.

The water surface could not be seen clearly in the darkness under the sea cliff, and it was not until Xia De's boots stepped into the water that he noticed that the seawater was actually blood-red.

It was not that red things were floating on the surface of the water, but that the water itself had turned red. Xia De took the risk to touch the seawater, touched it lightly on the tip of his tongue, and even without the reminder of the voice in his ear, he knew that there were blasphemous elements in the water.

This kind of water, if concentrated by chemical means, could even be used directly as a potion or ritual material.

"It seems that the Sea Return ritual has already begun, truly punctual... Does this kind of large-scale ritual come with free potion materials? Lake View Manor was the same last time."

Letting his imagination run wild, he entered the seawater.
