I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts - Chapter 449 - 348: Blood Pool Maze
The Blood Pool Maze is what Han Zhan calls it.
This makes it more straightforward and easier to understand.
In fact, the essence of the Blood Pool Maze is "random teleportation."
When passing through the boundary, you may be randomly teleported to another blood pool area.
Under normal circumstances, no one would choose random teleportation.
The circumstances in each blood pool area are unknown, and teleporting recklessly might trap oneself in a predicament, not worth the risk.
Moreover, the time spent exploring a blood pool area is enough to cause blood embryo pollution, so most people only opt to leave the blood pool, abandoning exploration.
So when he heard Han Zhan’s decision, Li Wu’s eyes widened.
"We can’t do this. Even if we can’t find a teleport point temporarily, there’s no need to take a chance in another blood pool area, right? Such behavior is tantamount to suicide."
He clearly misunderstood the intent.
"But this can still be considered a thought. Li Heng can influence one area, but he can never affect other areas. As long as we leave here, we can shake off his influence."
"Stop dwelling on it; Ah Zhan has already gone far ahead."
Li Lingzhen called out to Li Wu as she passed by him.
Only then did Li Wu react. He hesitated a bit but still gritted his teeth and followed along.
According to his thinking, rather than staying here and awaiting doom, it would be better to take a chance with Han Zhan!
The group followed the route previously taken by the Battle Spirit.
The dense white fog caused them some trouble, but with the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array leading the way, they quickly found a random teleportation point.
As their figures vanished from the random teleportation point,
within the thick white fog, a shadowy gaze became visible.
Li Heng looked at the spot where Han Zhan and the others disappeared and eventually snorted coldly.
"Trying to escape me through random teleportation?"
"Very clever, but who told you, this is random teleportation?"
...
When the space stabilized once again, everything before Han Zhan and the others was refreshed anew.
Although it was still a vast Blood Sea, the dense white fog covering the entire sea area had vanished.
"Succeeded!"
"Let’s quickly search for a teleport point to leave the blood pool," Li Wu promptly suggested.
Regarding Li Wu’s suggestion, neither Han Zhan nor Li Lingzhen refused.
Han Zhan was the first to release the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array, continuing to have the billions of Snake Spirits pave the way for him.
Transporting to a new Blood Sea area, besides escaping Li Heng, Han Zhan had another plan: to gather all the scattered golden particles within the Blood Sea area!
This material, capable of nourishing the Bodhi Treasure Tree, was something Han Zhan had never encountered before.
Achieving this goal might be very challenging for others, but for Han Zhan, it posed no problem.
I have billions of Snake Spirits scouting the way, wherever there are golden particles, I can quickly reach them and absorb them directly. The Snake Spirits can also help me find the next random teleportation point, saving a lot of wasted time on the road, and the most troublesome pollution can be dispelled through the Bodhi Treasure Tree.
With this mindset, Han Zhan led his team, beginning their exploration in the new area.
The new area turned out to be much more desolate than imagined. Besides two regions containing golden particles, they didn’t find any trait material.
This also seemed to validate their previous hypothesis: when there’s one oversized trait material, correspondingly, the number of other trait materials sharply decreases.
On the other side, Li Wu also followed the method provided by the High Priest, finding the teleportation point to leave the blood pool.
This time, no one could obstruct them.
Han Zhan and the others didn’t hesitate, directly entering the teleportation point, and after a bout of spatial shifts and distortions, everyone opened their eyes once more.
The scene before them made their previously relieved hearts tense up again.
"Why are we still in the Blood Sea?"
Indeed, before their eyes was still a Blood Sea, they hadn’t successfully left the blood pool!
"Is it Li Heng?"
"No. It might not be Li Heng. It’s very possibly an issue with the blood pool itself."
Han Zhan frowned as he looked at the scene before him.
"When did the High Priest summarize the patterns?"
"This... This I’m not sure about, but from what I know of the High Priest, he likely hasn’t left Chuyun Stockade for at least thirty years, right?"
"Thirty years is enough to change many things. The rules of the blood pool are no exception."
Very likely, those who are polluted also know the method that Jiuli Clan People use to find the blood pool teleportation point and intentionally altered this rule.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. What should we do next?"
"Continue," Han Zhan stated calmly.
Continue? Continue what?
Li Wu was clearly taken aback. When he saw Han Zhan once again releasing the Snake Spirits, he soon understood; it turned out Han Zhan’s "continue" meant this.
Continue exploring the Blood Sea region!
"The Blood Sea region isn’t endless; there’s bound to be a limit."
"As long as we keep teleporting, we’ll definitely be able to escape the blood pool."
"Theoretically, that’s indeed so. But in Jiuli’s records, no one has succeeded."
The reason is quite simple.
When normal Jiuli Clan People enter the blood pool, don’t even mention exploring all areas; managing to withstand the pollution and explore two areas is already equivalent to dancing on a knife edge, always at risk of becoming one of the polluted.
Who can bear the pollution and explore all areas?
Han Zhan can.
"Don’t worry about the pollution."
"If not for preserving pollution for easily finding trait materials, I can drive off the pollution from you all right now."
"Let’s go."
Li Wu hadn’t quite processed the meaning behind Han Zhan’s words when he saw Han Zhan and Li Lingzhen already walking ahead.
"Hey, wait!"
"Han Zhan, what do you mean by being able to dispel pollution?"
"Can you really dispel pollution?!"
When Li Wu realized Han Zhan’s words, his inner shock was difficult to restrain.
Because he knew what dispelling pollution ultimately meant for the Jiuli Race!
"In the history of our Jiuli Race, there’s a record: if someone can truly dispel pollution, traversing the entire blood pool, they’ll certainly uncover the truth of blood pool’s origin and find the genuine Godhood Technique!"
"Han Zhan, do you know what dispelling pollution ultimately means!"
Li Wu, having reached Tier Eight, couldn’t feel much improvement in strength, yet his voice seemed much louder than before.
Speaking near Han Zhan’s ear, he nearly deafened his eardrum.
Han Zhan rubbed his ear, "I didn’t know initially, but now I do."
"Aren’t you the slightest bit excited?"
Seeing Han Zhan so calm, Li Wu asked incredulously.
"Rather than excitement, I’m more curious."
Han Zhan closed his eyes, feeling the visual feedback from the billions of Snake Spirits, speaking with a tone full of expectation.
