Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 17 Iron-backed Wolf
"The evil spirit has become much stronger!"

Minghai pondered silently as he spread his thoughts, carefully feeling every drop of blood and every trace of evil spirit in the lake.

In the past six months, the size of the Blood Lake has not increased much, but its internal structure has changed significantly.

First, the blood water in the lake formed three distinct parts: inner, middle and outer parts, each occupying an area of ​​32 and 33 meters.

The toxicity and corrosiveness of the blood on the outermost layer are the same as when it first 'transformed into a sea of ​​blood', that is, it can only quickly poison and corrode ordinary beasts. When facing ferocious beasts, it takes a long time to slowly corrode them before they can gradually dissolve.

The middle part has a diameter of ten meters. After it turned from a pool into a lake, the original high-quality blood water underwent a qualitative change. The transformed blood water can quickly poison, corrode and dissolve beast soldier-level beasts.

At the core is the high-level blood water that has been produced in the past six months, and it is also the most powerful part of the blood lake.

Minghai estimated that although the newly born blood in the core had not yet undergone qualitative changes and had not reached the level of a blood lake with a diameter of more than 100 meters, which could quickly corrode and dissolve all beast general-level beasts, it was enough to threaten low-level beast general-level beasts.

In addition, there is the invisible evil energy that is everywhere in the blood lake, even steaming on the surface of the lake, which can threaten the beast general-level beasts.

These evil spirits can make the brains of beast soldier-level beasts blank and lose their ability to resist. Beast general-level beasts should not be so vulnerable, but they will definitely be affected.

"We're almost ready, it's time to get started!"

After repeated calculations, Ming Hai made a secret decision.

His thoughts spread out and he began to observe the ferocious beasts within a radius of one kilometer.

In the current Nether Sea, his thoughts can cover one kilometer. Within this range, no creature can escape his "eyes".

After a year of continuous hunting, there are only a few beast soldier-level beasts left nearby.

"That beast, the One-Horned Diamond Beast, hasn't left yet? Hey, he's leaving!"

In his mind, more than 800 meters away from the blood lake, a one-horned diamond beast with a body length of eight or nine meters, nearly four meters high, a sharp horn nearly one meter long on its head, and thick fur, as big as a small mountain, was slowly moving towards the east.

Noticing this scene, Ming Hai was overjoyed, and then he turned his "gaze" in another direction, to the Iron-backed Gray Wolf that was lying on the ground basking in the sun, more than 600 meters away from the blood pool.

This iron-backed wolf is six or seven meters long, with dark blue fur. It is also a terrifying beast.

However, unlike the top beast general, the One-horned King Kong, the Iron-backed Wolf is just a low-level beast general, and its strength is far lower than that of the One-horned King Kong.

Minghai has been keeping an eye on the Iron-backed Wolf for a long time.

In addition to the fact that this beast was relatively weak, it also had a wound more than one meter long on its abdomen.

The wound was flat and smooth, and it must have been caused by a knife used by a strong human.

Perhaps because it had just escaped from the hands of a powerful human, this iron-backed wolf has been lying on the ground to rest and recuperate since it ran here in the morning.

Not long after the Iron-backed Wolf came here, Minghai discovered it.

The reason why they didn't take action was because the unicorn was also there. They were worried that the fragrance of the blood lake would lure the unicorn over, so they didn't take action.

He had some confidence in killing the low-level beast general Iron-backed Wolf, but he was not sure about dealing with the top beast general King Kong Unicorn.

After watching the One-Horned Wolverine leave, Minghai continued to wait for another hour, making sure that the beast had gone far away before taking action.

The mind communicated with the blood lake, and the evil spirit floating in the sky fell down and merged silently into the blood below.

At the same time, the surface of the nearly 100-meter-wide lake began to sink, and a stone bridge extending from the center of the lake to the shore slowly emerged from the water.

When the lake water sank two meters, the stone bridge was completely exposed.

Near the shore, the bridge is more than one meter above the water surface. The closer it gets to the center of the lake, the closer the bridge is to the lake surface.

This design is naturally to attract ferocious beasts to drink water in the center of the lake.

The beast general had amazing physical strength. Ming Hai estimated that, just like when he was weak and dealt with the beast soldiers, it would take a long time for the core blood to kill the Iron-backed Wolf.

If the Ironback Wolf simply drank blood on the shore, it would most likely escape. Therefore, Minghai used his old trick again, intending to lure it to the center of the lake, making it easier to kill it.

After completing all this, Minghai's thoughts moved slightly.

Tiny ripples appeared on the nearly 100-meter-wide lake surface, and the fragrant aroma quickly spread and extended into the distance.

Under the mental 'gaze', six hundred meters away, the Iron-backed Gray Wolf smelled the fragrance and suddenly looked up, its blood-red eyes flashed, then it stood up from the ground with all four limbs, looking towards the direction of the blood pool.

After the Iron-backed Wolf stood up, Ming Hai noticed that the knife wound on the beast's abdomen was oozing light yellow pus as the muscles contracted.

That is a characteristic of a wound that is close to healing, but not completely healed.

Moreover, when the Iron-backed Gray Wolf's right front paw touched the ground, it was obviously tilted and had difficulty moving, indicating that the beast was not only severely injured in the abdomen, but also in its right paw.

"very good!"

Seeing this scene, Minghai smiled slightly.

The beast general's fur is extremely tough and cannot be penetrated by human shells. Even the blood in the core of the blood pool may not be able to do anything to it.

But with this wound, the situation is very different.

The flesh and blood in the body have several levels lower resistance to poison and corrosion, and cannot be compared with the epidermis.

The fragrance released by the blood contains some kind of strange spiritual power, which has an irresistible attraction to ferocious beasts.

This iron-backed wolf is no exception.

He sniffed, and on his furry face, an anthropomorphic look of doubt first appeared. Then he acted overjoyed, endured the pain in his abdomen, and flew towards the blood lake with all four claws.

Not only the Iron-backed Wolf, but also more than a dozen beast-soldier-level ferocious beasts wandering within a kilometer were also running over with excitement following the scent.

'whoosh'

The Iron-backed Wolf was extremely fast, reaching the 600-meter distance in less than ten seconds. However, it did not pounce immediately like the beast-soldier-level beasts. Instead, it stood on the shore and looked at it for a while, as if considering whether there was any danger.

But without the evil spirit, the blood lake looked harmless and posed no danger at all. Unless one was aware of the danger, no danger would be apparent.

After wandering on the shore for a while, the Iron-backed Wolf finally couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance. It stepped onto the stone bridge with its strong claws and walked towards the center of the lake step by step.

The stone bridge is inclined, and it becomes more convenient to drink water as you walk towards the center of the lake.

The Iron-backed Wolf walked cautiously on the stone bridge, looking around and keeping alert to his surroundings.

It was very quiet all around and it could not sense any enemies.

Naturally, the Iron-backed Wolf came to the deep center of the lake. The stone bridge here was only a dozen centimeters higher than the lake surface. He could easily drink the blood by slightly lowering his head.

Rumble~~~
When the Iron-backed Gray Wolf came to the center of the lake and was about to lower its head to drink water, those beast-soldier-level ferocious beasts who had also smelled the fragrance also arrived.

However, after seeing the Iron-backed Wolf on the stone bridge, these beast soldiers all stood obediently on the shore, not daring to move forward, let alone onto the stone bridge.

Ferocious beasts all have a sense of territory. The strength of beast soldiers and beast generals varies greatly. These beast soldier-level ferocious beasts dare not compete with the Iron-backed Wolf.

Ming Hai didn't care about the beast soldiers at all, but was focused on the Iron-backed Wolf. Seeing it finally lying on the stone bridge, sticking out its huge wolf head and drinking blood happily, he finally felt relieved.

He was really worried just now that the Iron-backed Wolf was unwilling to go up the stone bridge.

If he didn't go up the stone bridge and just wandered on the shore, even if it was very close, the Underworld Sea would not be able to do anything to this beast.

But it’s different when you enter the center of the lake!
