Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

Blood Mist Mountain is located 300 li southwest of the provincial capital.

The mountain is not high, but it is shrouded in blood-red mist all year round.

It is said that a beast tide broke out here decades ago, killing tens of thousands of people. Blood soaked the mountains, and the fog has never dissipated since.

It couldn't be more fitting for Blood-Clad Tower to hide its stronghold here.

Shen Ye didn't go alone.

Lu Qingshan stayed outside to oversee the operation, while Han Pojun led the General Headquarters' law enforcement team to seal off the mountain.

Gu Chen, Xiao Jue, and Luo Lie also arrived.

It wasn't Shen Ye who called it.

They came along on their own.

Luo Lie, carrying his knife, grinned and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not helping you, I want to take down the Blood-Clad Tower."

Xiao Jue sneered: "Too much nonsense."

Gu Chen looked at the blood mist in the mountains and said calmly, "If they dared to lure Shen Ye here, they must have prepared something to target him. The more people there are, the more unpredictable things will become."

Shen Ye did not refuse.

He wasn't recklessly throwing his life away.

Borrow resources if you can.

But he was the only one who actually went into the mountains.

The paper cranes of the Blood-Clad Pavilion were engraved with a soul contract restriction.

If a fourth-tier expert steps into the inner circle, Zhou Xuan will die instantly.

Lu Qingshan's face was very grim.

"I'll give you at most half an hour."

Shen Ye nodded.

That's enough.

He walked into the blood mist.

Night Feather rested on his shoulder, the Netherfire kept low.

Zhu Jiu slipped into the shadows, with Long Yuan following beside him, his black and gold fur slightly bristling in the mist.

After walking a hundred paces, the sound behind me completely disappeared.

Blood mist blocks perception.

For ordinary beast tamers, the contractual bond will be weakened to the extreme here.

But the Covenant of Ten Thousand Beasts was not broken.

The auras of Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, and Long Yuan were still clear.

Shen Ye continued forward.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet softened.

Blood-red arms reached out from the ground and grabbed at his ankles.

[Blood Corpse Puppet, late-stage Tier 2.]

Weakness: Blood Spikes on the Skull.

Shen Ye did not bow his head.

"Longyuan".

Long Yuan took a step forward, and golden blood energy exploded out.

Fighting Mountain-Shattering Fist!

boom!

The ground collapsed.

A dozen blood corpse puppets were shattered by a single punch, and the blood nails in their skulls exploded.

[Slay the Blood Corpse Puppet.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 40.]

[Slay the Blood Corpse Puppet.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 40.]

System notifications kept ringing.

Shen Ye's eyes were icy cold.

"The Blood-Clad Pavilion is being too polite."

"Resources are given to you as soon as you enter."

From the depths of the fog came a low laugh.

"Shen Ye, you're even more audacious than the intelligence reports suggested."

A blood-red figure stood on the treetop.

He wore a faceless white mask, and three blood-red knives hung behind him.

[Blood-Clad Tower Steward: Blood Thirteen]

[Realm Level: Late Stage 3]

[Contracted Beast: Blood Shadow Mantis, Mid-Tier 3]

Xue Shisan looked down at Shen Ye.

"The landlord said, if you are captured alive, you will be rewarded with a fourth-tier Blood Pill."

"Kill you, and I'll still reward you with half a piece."

Shen Ye looked up.

You can't get it.

Xue Shisan sneered.

"In Blood Mist Mountain, your beast-taming senses were suppressed. What do you have to fight me with?"

His figure suddenly disappeared.

The next instant, three blood-red blades slashed in from different directions.

Night Feather flapped its wings, and the Thousand Blades of the Dark Phoenix poured down.

The two blood-stained blades were blocked.

The third blade bypassed the Netherfire and struck Shen Ye directly on the back of the neck.

clang!

Shen Ye drew his sword with a backhand motion, blocking the bloody blade.

Ghostfire Battle Body activated.

Black flame patterns crawled up his arm.

"Blood Shadow Technique?"

Shen Ye said calmly, "Too slow."

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows.

Nine Nether Shadows instantly locked onto Blood Thirteen's true ankle.

Xue Shisan's expression changed.

"You can see through it?"

Shen Ye did not answer.

He closed in with a single step and slashed horizontally with his short sword.

Blood Thirteen's body exploded with bloody light as he forcefully broke free and retreated violently backward.

But Ye Yu was already above him.

Soul burning.

Blood Thirteen froze.

Long Yuan charged out from the side, his fist coated in golden battle blood, and slammed into his chest.

boom!

Blood Thirteen's sternum collapsed, and he flew backward, breaking three Bloodwood trees.

Just as his contracted beast, Blood Shadow Mantis, was about to save its master, Night Feather's Netherfire had already entered its compound eyes.

The Blood Shadow Mantis screamed and rolled over.

Shen Ye walked up to Xue Shisan.

Where is Zhou Xuan?

Xue Shisan coughed and laughed.

"You can't save him."

"His mind has been nailed to the Blood Soul Nail."

"In another half hour, it will become a blood servant."

Shen Ye raised his hand, and the Netherfire landed on his shoulder.

Blood Thirteen's laughter instantly turned into a scream.

Three breaths later, he hissed:

"The belly of the mountain...the blood pool..."

"The original poster is waiting for you there..."

Shen Ye delivered a fatal blow to the throat.

[Slay the Blood-Clad Tower steward.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 600.]

[Extract Talent Fragment: Blood Shadow Step Fragment 1.]

Shen Ye sheathed his sword and continued walking into the mountainside.

The blood mist grew thicker and thicker.

The surrounding trees were covered with mummified corpses.

There are humans.

There are also beast tamers.

Their blood was drained, leaving only skin and bones.

The golden fighting spirit in Long Yuan's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Night Feather's Netherfire burned colder and colder.

Shen Ye's expression grew increasingly calm.

He walked to the entrance of the mountain.

There was a blood-red stone gate.

There was a line of text engraved on the door.

Those who enter this gate must offer blood as a gift.

Shen Ye lifted his foot.

He kicked the stone door apart.

"No need for formalities."

"I'll collect the debt."
