Excessive ferocity due to caution

"The outside world is really interesting; they even make chewing gum..."

Ji Chen, puffing on a cigarette, looked relaxed, seemingly having forgotten the pain and tension he had just experienced.

Zhao Yi replied:

"Once people fall into boredom and dullness, they will try every means to please themselves."

"And that's how cigarettes were invented."

Ji Chen asked in confusion:

"Cigarettes?"

Zhao Yi explained:

"chewing gum."

Ji Chen suddenly realized.

Boom boom—

As they were chatting, a shout suddenly came from the distant Bloodfall.

"Help me..."

The voice was extremely weak, but it reached their ears clearly.

Ji Chen, who was chewing gum, immediately bristled!

"Zhao Yi, did you hear me?"

Zhao nodded.

"Save me...please..."

The voice rang out once again.

Zhao had already taken precautions, using the power of Zi Buyu to build a barrier around his mental world to prevent anything from taking advantage of the situation.

However, this time, no strange power appeared.

"It doesn't seem strange."

Zhao Yi made this judgment.

Ji Chen hesitated upon hearing this:

"Should we go rescue him?"

Zhao Yi glanced at him:

"you go."

"I'll be there to support you from behind."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen understood Zhao Yi's attitude, and he raised his hands, saying:

"Alright, let's go. In this kind of environment, if I go to rescue him, I'll most likely not come back."

Just as the two were about to leave, the weak voice rang out again:

"Don't go..."

"An unusual event has occurred on the ancient battlefield..."

"Something terrifying has resurfaced within the Blood Falls; it's unrealistic for you to try and bypass the Blood Falls and cross the ancient battlefield..."

"It... is waiting for you upstream."

"Who are you?"

There was no response.

Ji Chen felt something was wrong; he had a bad feeling about it.

Zhao, standing to the side, flicked his cigarette ash and said:

"I'll do it."

He used the "Confucius's Unspoken Words" technique, which he practiced in the Analects, to communicate with the voice, but did not immediately ask for the other party's name.

"According to you, what's the difference between saving you and not saving you?"

The weak voice replied:

"I have a way to get you through the blockade area upstream of Blood Falls."

"Although there are some risks, it's definitely much safer than you rushing over there recklessly..."

"If you don't believe me, you can go upstream of Blood Falls and see for yourselves, but I must warn you, be extremely careful!"

"Ten million..."

"Don't let it see you..."

Zhao Yi was silent for a moment, then finally asked:

"What's your name?"

"Chao Xi."

Upon hearing the name, Ji Chen exclaimed in surprise:

"It's actually Senior Chao Yong?!"

Zhao glanced at him sideways:

"Do you know him?"

Ji Chen:

"I've heard that this senior is particularly good at courting death... He's an expert at exploration, having been to many restricted areas and left his own mark there. He's even published a book and has a large following among many families."

"Senior Chao did indeed go to the ancient battlefield, but I didn't expect him to get trapped in the Blood Waterfall..."

After a moment's thought, Zhao Yi did not reveal his name to the person who resembled Chao Feng, but instead led Ji Chen upstream of the Blood Waterfall.

His words are questionable.

"Let's see how things go first."

Ji Chen also knew that there were too many strange phenomena in the Abyss, and he did not completely believe Chao Fei in the Blood Waterfall.

The two flew through the air, maintaining a great distance between them, and carefully approached the upstream area of ​​the Blood Falls.

The waterfall of blood stretched upwards endlessly, and the higher the two climbed, the more pressure they felt from the chains of divine order above their heads!

Those chains of divine order can prohibit laws!

"Depend on!"

"We've come all this way, why can't we still see the beginning of the Blood Falls?"

Ji Chen unleashed all his power, and a mysterious mist reappeared around him, constantly resisting the terrifying pressure brought by the divine power of order above his head!

He could feel that he was approaching his limit.

If he were to fly any higher, all of his divine power of laws would lose its effect under the prohibition of the divine chains of order!

Zhao Yi is much better than Ji Chen.

Even though he hasn't used all his power yet, the strength of his physical body doesn't depend on the laws, so the suppression of him by the Order God Chains is relatively weaker.

But at this moment, Zhao Yi was also not feeling well.

It felt like I was carrying a mountain on my back, and with each step upward, the mountain seemed to weigh millions of pounds more!

Even someone with his advanced divine physique found it extremely difficult to withstand.

"If I go any higher, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it!"

Ji Chen was panting heavily.

His whole body was trembling, as if he were naked in the freezing cold.

"It's almost over."

Zhao Yi looked at the turbulent flow of the blood waterfall and said.

Under immense pressure, the two slowly climbed up a little further, and finally, with great difficulty, they saw the end of the blood waterfall!

"..."

What his gaze swept over almost made Ji Chen fall from a great height!

Beyond the Bloodfall, in the desolate wasteland strewn with rubble, eyeballs of varying sizes grew, their surfaces oozing foul-smelling pus, a truly gruesome sight.

These eyes are connected to countless tentacles, extending into the unknown upstream, seemingly constantly supplying it with nutrients and power...

Even from a great distance, the two could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from those eyes!

Every single eye... is at the Dominator Realm!

How many eyes have been watching along this journey?

Several thousand?

Or tens of thousands?

If this were displayed outdoors, how stunning would that scene be!

Gollum-

A strange and eerie sound came from the void.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, those eyeballs slowly moved, looking towards them!

Zhao Yi's expression shifted slightly, and he turned around to say:

"Retreat immediately!"

Ji Chen did not hesitate and quickly submerged with Zhao Yi and disappeared into the distance!

"What's wrong?"

He sensed an inexplicable sense of crisis.

But as they descended from the void, the sense of crisis subsided.

"Those things just spotted us."

Zhao replied.

"If we stay any longer, we won't be able to leave."

Ji Chen recalled everything he had seen in the wasteland and still felt a chill of fear!

What's upstream of that blood river?

How could such a terrifying scene be created?

"Did you see what's over there?"

"We can't see them. The terminals connected to those eyes must be beings at the Divine Realm, and not just any ordinary Divine Realm beings..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen's expression turned serious.

"This is really troublesome."

"Just how tyrannical must this god, created purely from resentment, be!"

"Its aggressiveness is probably already at its maximum!"

"I remember that about 140 years ago, an elder of our clan traversed the ancient battlefield. At that time, although the upper reaches of the Bloodfall were strange, they were not as terrifying as they are now!"

Zhao Yi made a rough judgment in his mind, and stroked his chin as he said:

"Let's go back."

"Given our situation, going directly there is probably not an option."

"Let's check the situation downstream from Bloodfall first."

Ji Chen let out a "Yo-ho!"

"It's rare to see someone like Zhao Yi, who's fearless, chicken out?"

Zhao Yi glanced at him:

"Courage is courage, but so is suicide."

"I hope you can distinguish between them."

Ji Chen was speechless for a long time after being rebuked.

PS: First update.

Don't worry, everyone, it won't be a bad ending.

At least they won't give up.
