I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

As the Taigui Soul Locking Formation was activated, a strange bloody color slowly appeared on the ground.

Atu leaned weakly on Maha's back, almost losing consciousness.

Maha knew very well that they were in a desperate situation at this moment.

At this moment, a group of blood puppets emerged silently from the darkness.

These blood puppets looked horrible, with rotten flesh clinging to their corpses and emitting a disgusting stench.

Their eyes were red, revealing madness and bloodthirstiness.

They felt no pain or fear and rushed straight towards Maha and Atu.

Maha's heart tightened. He wanted to control Shanbao.

Trying to devour the vitality of the blood puppets in order to kill them.

However, when Shanbao's power came into contact with the blood puppet,
He was shocked to find that these blood puppets were completely lifeless.

The blood puppets pounced on Maha and grabbed him fiercely.

Maha quickly dodged to the side, but was still grabbed by the arms by several blood puppets.
They pulled hard, and several deep wounds suddenly appeared on Maha's arms, and blood gushed out.

Maha also waved his arm and threw these blood puppets away.

But these monsters were not afraid of death, which gave Maha a headache.

He knew that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly swept to the southeast corner of the blood prison.

In that dim corner, there was a faint glimmer of life.

Maha's heart moved.

He adjusted the position of Ah Tu on his back to make him more stable.
Then he rushed towards the southeast corner of the blood prison.

Seeing this, the blood puppets chased after him.

They roared, trying to stop Maha's actions.

While dodging the blood puppet's attack, Maha approached that ray of life.

At this moment, he had several more wounds on his body.
But as he approached the southeast corner of the blood prison, that glimmer of life became more obvious.

Maha made a prompt decision, and his aura suddenly changed.
With the sound of bones cracking, his body expanded rapidly and instantly turned into the form of a giant ape.

The giant ape's body is as huge as a mountain, and every strand of its hair stands up like steel needles.

He held A-Tu firmly in his arms, and resisted the siege of blood puppets that came like a tide from all directions.

The blood puppets roared, their rotten flesh rolled up, and their claws and teeth madly bit and gnawed at Maha.

However, Maha's fur was as hard as iron, and it was difficult to cause any substantial harm to him for a while.

Maha roared, and with a wave of his giant palm, several blood puppets were fiercely slapped away.
It hit the stone wall of the blood prison, making a dull sound.

But the blood puppets seemed to be unaware of the pain and continued to rush forward one after another.

At this time, the array patterns began to flow, and the Taigui Soul Locking Array under Maha's feet began to frantically absorb Maha's blood and energy.

Maha only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and his skin and flesh began to dry up rapidly, as if his life was being drained away bit by bit.

However, Shanbao also started to move spontaneously to repair his damaged body, forming a tug-of-war with the absorption of the formation.

Finally, Maha approached the southeast corner.

He saw the bronze pillar standing there, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He raised his huge arms high, his muscles knotted,

The power gathered in an instant, and then a punch hit the bronze pillar.

With a loud bang, the fist wind spread out, the bronze pillar shattered, and gravel flew everywhere.

When the bronze pillar fell, Maha saw the scene under the pillar.

The corpse of a man, still alive, lay there with a peaceful expression.

Maha didn't have time to think about it, and immediately urged Shanbao to forcibly devour the remaining vitality on the corpse.

As the mountain treasure was devoured, the entire blood prison began to tremble violently.

The runes on the ground flickered and made buzzing sounds.

The blood puppets that were originally rushing forward frantically also began to move slowly.

Maha was delighted, knowing that this formation could be broken by him.

Although he was exhausted at this moment, he exuded a fierce murderous aura.

Outside the door, Black Viper looked a little flustered.
He didn't expect that the Taigui Soul Locking Formation was actually broken.

Black Viper began to retreat while activating the mechanism without hesitation.

In an instant, poisonous fog quickly spread from every corner of the blood prison.
The poisonous fog was green in color and swept towards Maha and Atu.

There was a flash of anger in Maha's eyes.

He himself doesn't care, but now A Tu can't bear such torture.

Without any hesitation, he stamped his foot.

His body was like a cannonball, crashing into the tightly closed door of the blood prison.

With a loud bang, the door of the blood prison shattered under Maha's impact, and gravel flew everywhere.

Although the poisonous fog blocked his vision, Maha was able to lock onto the position of the black viper by relying on his sense of life.

In a flash, Maha's body shape changed again and turned into a peregrine falcon.

Before the black viper could react, Maha's sharp claws had instantly pierced his throat.

The black viper opened his eyes wide, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

He wanted to struggle, but found that his strength was rapidly fading.

When he was on the verge of death, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a hideous grin:

"The high priest... has set his sights on you... You... You won't live long..."

Maha stared at the black viper coldly, without a trace of mercy in his eyes.

He knew that a traitor like Black Viper deserved to be put to death.

As the black viper's life faded, Mahafa began to devour the black viper's body.

The black viper's body gradually dried up, and finally became like a corpse.
As soon as Maha blew, he turned into ashes, as if he had never existed in this world.

At this moment, under the violent vibration of the formation, Atu's already weak body could no longer support it.

He twitched violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, staining his already worn-out body.

Maha felt something strange on his back, his heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to check.

I saw that Ah Tu's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were slightly rolled up, and the last bit of light had disappeared from his pupils.

His body gradually became cold and stiff on Maha's back, and his already slow breathing rhythm almost stagnated.

Maha's heart seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and an uncontrollable grief instantly surged in his heart.

"Atu!" Maha let out a long howl of grief and anger.

He hugged Atu's body tightly, and veins popped up on his face.

After a moment of grief, Maha suppressed the pain in his heart.
He carried Atu's body on his back and rushed out of the blood prison.

The walls and ground of the blood prison shattered under his impact, and bricks and stones flew everywhere.

Under the terrifying power of the giant ape, Maha rushed out of the dungeon carrying Atu's body.

At this moment, the alarm sounded in the temple.
The sharp sound broke the silence of the night sky and echoed throughout the temple.

The flames from the altar in the distance shot up into the sky, and the raging fire burned wildly in the night sky, illuminating half the sky red.

The high priest was wearing a black robe, standing on the altar facing the wind, and his black robe was rustling.

His figure looked particularly eerie in the light of the fire, with a sinister smile on his face.

He cast a cold gaze from a distance, and his eyes were so sharp that they pierced straight into Maha's heart.

Maha looked at the high priest fearlessly, his eyes full of resentment.

"High Priest, I will make you pay with blood for today's revenge!"

Maha let out a long roar towards the sky, and the aura around him suddenly changed.

His bones made a crackling sound, and his arms were instantly covered with black feathers. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant eagle.

The giant eagle's wings were several feet long when spread out, and its feathers shone with a metallic luster.

The giant eagle Maha leaned down slightly and gently picked up Atu's body with its sharp beak.

He was very cautious in his movements, for fear of hurting the deceased Ah Tu.

It flapped its wings vigorously, creating a strong airflow.

Accompanied by a huge sound of wind, the giant eagle soared into the sky and spread its wings towards the distance.

At this time, the priests in the Jingyuan Temple saw Maha escape and they all showed angry expressions.

One of the priests could not hold back and instantly summoned a humanoid monster with wings and tried to chase after it.

Just as he was about to leave, the high priest slowly raised his hand.

With a gentle wave, he stopped his action.

"No need, I have my own way." The high priest's voice was low and hoarse.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where Maha left, his eyes full of disdain.

"No one has ever escaped from my Jingyuan Temple."

He slowly lowered his hand, his black robe fluttering in the wind.

In his view, Maha's escape was only temporary;

He has plenty of ways to make Maha come back and accept the punishment from the Jingyuan Temple.

……

Maha, filled with grief and indignation, ran wildly with Atu's body on his back.

At this moment, he was in extreme anger and despair and had no time to care about the traces left behind.

The mountain treasure was running wildly in his body, and with every step he took,
An invisible force spread from the soles of his feet.

Wherever he stepped, the green grass and trees instantly lost their vitality.

The leaves quickly turned yellow and withered, and the branches became dry and fragile, as if all the life essence had been drained away.

The plants and trees trembled slightly in the breeze, and then fell down one after another, turning into piles of rotten debris.

Not only that, the land behind Maha is also gradually changing under the erosion of this force.

The fertile soil began to dry and crack, and the cracks spread in all directions like hideous wounds.

The color of the land gradually turned black, as if it had been burned by a raging fire.

As he continued to move forward, the scorched land continued to extend.

In a short period of time, the land hundreds of miles behind him had turned into a scorched earth.

This scorched earth forms a sharp contrast with the vibrant surroundings and is particularly eye-catching.

This also left obvious traces.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Maha arrived at a stream.

The stream gurgles, emitting a cool light under the moonlight.

Maha slowly squatted down and gently placed Atu on the soft grass by the stream.

But Atu would never respond again, which made Maha feel painful.

He sat by the stream, looking at the peaceful water.
My thoughts drifted away involuntarily, and memories of the past flooded into my mind like a tide.

He was still young at that time.

As the elder of the tribe, Atu taught Maha to identify herbs.

Maha's palm was cut by poison ivy, and Ah Tu tore his clothes to bandage it for him: "If it hurts, just scream it out, it's not shameful."

The scene changed and he returned to the night after he got the mountain treasure.

Maha felt excited but also a little confused as he embraced the power brought to him by the mountain treasure.

At that time, A Tu also found him.

That night, they talked for a long time.

From the future of the tribe to the vision of life.

The memories came to an abrupt end here, and Maha slowly came back to his senses.

Looking at A Tu's body beside him, tears blurred his eyes involuntarily.

……

At this moment, in the sacrificial hall of the Jingyuan Temple, the high priest stood alone in front of the huge altar.

Various offerings were placed on the altar.

The high priest raised his wrist, and a sharp bone knife appeared in his hand.

Without any hesitation, he lightly slashed his wrist with the bone knife.

A wound appeared instantly and blood gushed out.

The high priest had a calm expression as he let the blood drip into a glowing bone urn.

The blood fell into the jar, making a "dripping" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent temple.

Then he took out the container of Maha's blood from a small box beside him.

This is the Maha blood collected from the ground in the blood prison.

The high priest poured the blood from the container into the urn and mixed it with his own blood.

At the moment when the two kinds of blood mixed, a burst of light surged from the bone urn.
The light flickered continuously, gradually forming an illusory image.

As the light grew stronger, the image became clearer and clearer, actually revealing the shadow of Maha's escape route.

Maha turned into a giant eagle, holding Atu's body in its mouth and flying in the night sky.

He crossed mountains and forests, flew over rivers, and continued moving forward into the distance.

The high priest stared at the shadow in the urn and snorted coldly:

"Humph, no matter where you run to, you can't escape from my grasp."

He carefully observed Maha's escape route and analyzed where he had arrived:

"We have already left Mount Ami..."

"It seems that he is heading towards the depths of the wilderness."

The high priest frowned slightly, thinking secretly about how to deal with the situation.

The deeper you go into the wilderness, the more complex the terrain becomes, and there are many hidden dangers.

But he was not worried because he had enough confidence that he could catch Maha there.

The high priest raised his head and shouted loudly outside the temple: "Someone come!"

A moment later, several priests hurried over, knelt on one knee, and waited for the high priest's orders.

"Call the Blood Puppet Cavalry, you are no match for him!"

As the high priest gave the order, a dull sound came from deeper inside the blood prison.

In an instant, a group of creepy monsters rushed out.

These monsters have horrifying appearances. They were created by the Jingyuan Temple using secret techniques, fusing the remains of wolves, eagles and other mountain gods.

Their bodies were twisted and weird, with eagle wings growing abruptly on the wolf's sturdy body, with feathers scattered in a mess and stained with traces of blood.

At the same time, several black-robed priests slowly walked out from the dark corner of the temple.

Their figures were hidden under the wide black robes, and their steps were steady yet exuded a strange aura.

The black robe swayed gently as they walked, like flowing darkness.

Their faces were completely hidden under the black robes, and no expression could be seen.

The two priests came to the monsters, turned around and climbed onto the monsters without any hesitation.

At this time, the high priest's cold voice sounded in the air:
"You go, I want what's on him!"

"Yes." The two black-robed priests answered in unison, their voices low and hoarse.

In an instant, they drove the monster away. (End of this chapter)
