Chapter 348: Heart Corroding Darkness, Learn Skills
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The blood-red sunset was quickly eroded. In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the Bloody Pagoda had gone dark. In the darkness, creatures that could not be seen by the naked eye were writhing wildly. Those who did not leave a lamp for themselves in time were all silently swallowed by the darkness.
In the darkness, only the dark red blood light in the center of the pagoda was particularly eye-catching. An immortal approached in a panic, shock still lingering in his eyes. Just now, his companion who had come in a step later than him had let out an incomparably painful cry and died. The scream sounded as if even his throat had been broken! The change had happened too quickly, and he didn’t even have time to call for help…
While some people were rejoicing over their quick escape, many screams and wails sounded one after another. But soon, the screams suddenly stopped. As if their throats were all bitten off or strangled, there was an unprecedented silence in the Bloody Pagoda. It was so quiet that it made people’s hearts tremble.
The unknown was always the scariest. Under the dim bloody light, the survivors subconsciously looked at the stronger ones. In this pagoda, the experts that the common people placed high hopes on were mostly true Gods.
There were naturally exceptions, such as the man and his six beasts. The anxious gazes of the weak gradually focused on the strongest person in the pagoda. Tonight was the fifth day after the Bloody Pagoda had opened, and the reason why such a change had happened so quickly was ultimately due to the Beastmaster team. If they hadn’t destroyed the guardian beasts so quickly, the terror might only have come on the seventh day.
This thought lingered in the minds of many who entered the pagoda. Their gazes, which were originally pleading for help, suddenly became filled with resentment and other emotions. After temporarily getting out of danger, some impatient people began to make trouble.
It was hard to tell where they were, and it was even harder to determine who they were. Anyway, a male voice rang out, “If it weren’t for Chu Feng killing all those guardian beasts, the darkness wouldn’t have descended so quickly!”
When someone spoke up first, there was then a second someone, and a third someone, …
“If it hadn’t descended today, so many wouldn’t have died so suddenly!”
“Chu Feng and the temple officials of the Eastern Temple killed the guardian beasts so easily and received the rewards of the Bloody Pagoda, but they want us to pay the price with our lives!”
“Look at how calm they are. Maybe they have already received hints from the pagoda spirit. Otherwise, how could there be no casualties in their teams?”
“…”
Blame, abuse, malicious speculation… Voices filled with negative emotions formed countless knives that hurt people. As if they had found a scapegoat, the incompetent and vicious vented their dissatisfaction. They even blamed their sprained ankle while escaping on another. It was as if the immortals and true Gods who had successfully escaped just now thanks to Chu Feng were now amnesiacs. Not only did they not talk about the help that Chu Feng had given them, but some even added fuel to the fire with ill intentions.
......
Of course, there were a few who were rational, but their voices were drowned out. It was not easy to sing a one-man show, especially when one side had far superior combat strength to the other. When Chu Feng’s emotionless gaze swept across the crowd, the originally accusing crowd suddenly became mute.
The lively crowd quieted down, and the voices of criticism gradually died out. The hyena-like revelers dispersed, and the sounds of the rational gradually became prominent in the crowd.
“There’s no need to be late-game. If you guys are so capable, you wouldn’t have hidden behind when that huge monster from before appeared!”
“Since you’re so afraid of death, why don’t you just hide at home?”
“In all honesty, even if nothing happens tonight, not many will be able to last until tomorrow or the day after!”
“If the guardian beasts didn’t die, you might have been swallowed by the blood souls long ago…”
At first, there were only some complaints and laments. After some said a few more words, some immortals and true Gods began to discuss the current situation rationally, “What exactly is that thing in the darkness?”
Everyone discussed it for a long time, but they couldn’t come to an effective conclusion. Some said the creatures in the darkness were ghosts, some said they were some kind of monster, and some said they were blood souls that had been killed earlier that came back to get revenge… There were many different opinions. On the other side, Chu Feng retracted his gaze, then walked toward the temple officials of the Eastern Temple.
Previously, he heard the pagoda spirit say that they had killed the last guardian beast. Other than the Holy pagoda’s authority, they could choose another treasure. He didn’t know what they had chosen. Out of the four God King realm temple officials, Cena’s cultivation was the highest. He was a peak God King, so naturally, he was also the one who had the greatest say in their choice.
Although Cena’s worldview had been changed by the immense spiritual power, Chu Feng didn’t control the other party at all times. Apart from when he was facing his Master, Cena still maintained his usual behavior. Even if someone very familiar with the other party came over to take a look, they would probably not notice anything unusual.
Chu Feng asked frankly, “What did you guys choose?”
Cena answered respectfully, “The pagoda spirit let us choose two out of three rewards. Apart from the irrevocable access to the Holy pagoda, we also chose the key to the Bloody Pagoda.”
Chu Feng nodded and asked again, “Apart from those two items, what else did you guys see?”
“The last item was the realm-crossing pill that is temporary,” Richardson, who was standing at the side, took the initiative to answer.
From the moment they entered the pagoda, the pagoda spirit divided the thousands of people into groups according to the various situations of the groups of Immortals and true Gods working together. Chu Feng, for example, spent most of his time in the Bloody Pagoda fighting with his beasts. When the pagoda spirit automatically divided groups, it naturally divided the man and his six beasts into the same group. That is, Chu Feng was in the same team as the Wild Bear, Mirage Butterfly, Mythical Tree, Dark-sky Azure Dragon, Mystic Fall Fighter Jet, and Astral Spirit. Another example was Cena and the others, who represented the God King realm temple officials from the Eastern Temple.
Chu Feng recalled his choice of three out of five, and for some reason, he felt that he had lost out. The entry authority to the Holy Tower was like a one-way ticket, while the key to the Bloody Pagoda was unrestricted. There was also the realm-crossing pill that could allow one to cross a large realm in the true God level for a short time.
Of the latter two options, there were the Beastmaster core and beast core. Chu Feng hadn’t had the time to look at them in detail yet. On the whole, they were multi-stage growth-type resources. If one only looked at the contents, they could be considered a subsection inheritance.
Right now, Chu Feng could only look at the first stage. Through the combination of the Beastmaster core and beast core, the most basic effect was to allow the beasts to learn skills relatively quickly! Although he hadn’t studied them in detail, Chu Feng was already interested. At the very least, it was a way to make up for the beasts that didn’t like to learn.
If the learning ability of the beasts could be improved, then the growth potential of his beasts would definitely be greatly increased! With high potential and strong combat strength, even when facing an existence that he couldn’t look straight at now, he wouldn’t be afraid! Speaking of which, that pagoda spirit said that he had killed three guardian beasts…
Chu Feng’s thoughts wandered. He thought of the huge gap between the tentacle monster and the giant monster that followed. Perhaps, the combination of the tentacle flesh, the blood mist, the water, and the blood souls was just the form on the surface. What was buried deeper was the spirit and soul.
