Chapter 1983 - 1521: Netherworld Ghost Qi!

From the ruthlessness of Sofia and the black-robed man, it was already apparent what they were thinking!As for that big black man, he hid his strength, most likely planning to turn on the others and eliminate them all.

But he never expected that there would be no treasure, no backstabbing success, and he would be the first to lose his life...

While Qin Fang was pondering what to do next, Sofia already had Qin Fang and a few others thrown onto a prepared small boat and then slowly rowed along the waterway forward.

The black-robed man, however, was not squatting on a boat with Qin Fang and the others but was leisurely walking along the path beside them.

Don't be fooled by his slow pace; he was actually moving quite fast, even slightly faster than they were rowing the boat, so his figure was always ahead of Qin Fang, getting farther away!

"Should I leave from here or continue to follow?"

Seeing the black-robed man getting farther and farther away, Qin Fang couldn't help pondering in his heart, facing a very tough decision.

Sofia's strength was mediocre; even that big black man nearly killed her, so Qin Fang had no problem taking action...

The only thing that made Qin Fang wary was that black-robed man; his Netherworld Ghost Qi was quite formidable and hard to guard against, easily catching you off guard.

This kind of heretic dao true qi was too bizarre. Even a master like Qin Fang didn't dare to say he had a surefire way to counter it, so he didn't plan to confront him head-on.

If he sneaks away now, given the distance and defenses, Qin Fang's success rate could be nine out of ten or nearly impossible to fail.

But likewise, if Qin Fang leaves now, it would definitely alarm the black-robed man, thus losing the chance to understand his real motives!

"This black-robed man gathered so many people, he must have some unspeakable purpose..."

That's undoubted, which is also what made Qin Fang curious and struggling with his decision.

"Afraid of what?! Go for it..."

But men shouldn't be wishy-washy. Hesitation can lead to trouble. Since that black-robed man has such issues, there must be a reason.

If it's not clarified, it would be too much of a pity...

The most crucial point was that while the black-robed man's Netherworld Ghost Qi was very formidable, there seemed to be significant issues with his body.

Especially since Qin Fang accidentally discovered earlier that after releasing the Netherworld Ghost Qi, the black-robed man's state became increasingly weakened, his strength significantly diminished!

Most people might not notice the difference, but Qin Fang's Scouting Skill had unveiled all of it clearly...

Thinking of this, Qin Fang felt it might be a chance to stick it out, so he clenched his teeth and decided to continue feigning death.

The small boat rocked as it continued down the waterway, going for an unknown distance, roughly around ten minutes.

"Could it be we're entering the mountain's depths?"

Although Qin Fang was playing dead, he was always keeping track of the time and distance, and his mind was racing with thoughts.

This waterway was artificially built, definitely leading to some infrastructure above. Qin Fang wasn't a fool; these must be some kind of facilities on Devil's Island.

Built deep within the mountain, extremely secluded, this sewer might be rarely frequented, and this black-robed man who cultivated Netherworld Ghost Qi surely has some hidden agenda.

Qin Fang even suspected the black-robed man's identity; he might be hiding not just from them, the uninformed trialists, but possibly even deceiving those on Devil's Island.

"Hiss~~~"

Qin Fang's thoughts were quickly interrupted as the boat reached a dead-end, slipped through a barrier, and entered a new realm.

"This is..."

Inside, Qin Fang noticed nothing else, but his attention was solely captured by the blood pool in the center of this space!

Indeed, a blood pool!

Flowing within was not water but fresh red blood, giving off an extremely eerie and mysterious vibe...

"Netherworld Blood Pool..."

Seeing this blood pool, Qin Fang's face went green, almost turning back to flee.

Cultivating Netherworld Ghost Qi was extremely challenging at first; few could meet the conditions... that's why practitioners of Netherworld Ghost Qi were so rare.

Additionally, a Netherworld Blood Pool is needed... similar to Blood Demon Sect of the Demon Sect, cultivating Blood Demon Divine Art also requires a blood pool!

However, the blood pool required for Netherworld Ghost Qi is even more special; it needs blood from various masters, while ordinary blood is mostly useless.

But if one could find a naturally formed blood pool, it would truly be a heavenly fortune, terrifying to the extreme!

"How could such a place have a naturally formed Netherworld Blood Pool..."

At this moment, Qin Fang truly wanted to curse.

Because the blood pool in front of him was naturally formed, not man-made... these natural ones are even more terrifying!

"No wonder there's someone able to cultivate Netherworld Ghost Qi, turns out it's this thing causing the trouble..."

Yet at the same time, the question in Qin Fang's heart finally had a reasonable explanation. With this naturally formed Netherworld Blood Pool, all difficulties in cultivating Netherworld Ghost Qi were resolved...

"Damn it, can't stay any longer, must escape immediately!"

Seeing this blood pool, Qin Fang understood what the black-robed man brought them here for, simply to "fertilize" this Netherworld Blood Pool... they were the "fertilizer!" (To be continued.
