Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 625: These Black Furs Are Going Crazy!

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: These Black Furs Are Going Crazy!

Just as Big Black Cat was intently observing the movements of the third Formation.

「In another direction.」

In the valley where the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus was growing, the Shenluo Tian disciples were filled with fear. Some hesitated to step forward as they witnessed the horrifying spectacle of eerie black hairs sprouting from the Blood Pool.

Although a small portion of the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus was still growing in the Blood Pool, gradually ripening, at this moment, no one dared to dive into the Blood Pool to pick the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus.

At that moment, everyone launched into the air, floating in the empty space and gazing solemnly at the scene below.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?" a young disciple asked in a panic.

"What’s there to panic about? Shenluo Tian is one of The Four Supreme Heavens under the Heavenly Sun Dynasty. Whoever dares to provoke the mighty, Shenluo Tian will annihilate his entire clan!" the middle-aged man glared, speaking angrily.

He was truly infuriated. Having guarded the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus for so long, only to have most of it stolen, how could he possibly swallow this humiliation? Moreover, Shenluo Tian was known for its domineering nature. Having suffered such a covert loss, they would definitely not accept it.

"Senior Brother, I dove into the depths of the Blood Pool just now and felt a faint Demonic Aura!" a young disciple recalled.

"The one capable of such an unpredictable escape technique should be from the Drilling Sky Mouse Clan!" The middle-aged man thought carefully for a moment and then drew his conclusion.

"Could it be that notorious Sky-boring Rat?" a young disciple exclaimed in surprise.

"It should be," the middle-aged man nodded.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s face filled with indignation.

The Drilling Sky Mouse Clan was notorious for its petty thievery. Especially the latest generation of the Drilling Sky Mouse Clan, one of whose members constantly took their penchant for petty thievery to new heights. This Sky-boring Rat ranked ninth amongst the younger generation. In the cultivation world, many referred to him as Huang Jiu, or Stinky Old Nine. In the past, this Huang Jiu had no real conflicts with The Four Supreme Heavens; he usually targeted weaker sects, such as some Superior great sects and Mid-Quality Major Sects.

"I remember... this rat, nicknamed Stinky Old Nine, stole our Shenluo Tian’s Nine-leaf Blood Lotus. This just gives our Shenluo Tian a chance to wage war against the Drilling Sky Mouse Clan!" the middle-aged man sneered repeatedly.

"Senior Brother, the Drilling Sky Mouse Clan lives in the Bottomless Pit. It’s said that no one can truly find their whereabouts. How can we retrieve the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus?" a young Destiny Realm disciple said worriedly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Though the Bottomless Pit is mysterious, for our Shenluo Tian, locating it is not difficult at all. It simply takes some time to find those Sky-boring Rats after we get in! Our Shenluo Tian has strong soldiers; dealing with the trivial Drilling Sky Mouse Clan isn’t a problem!" the middle-aged man spoke arrogantly.

At this moment, the supreme prestige of this Supreme Sect was undeniably evident.

Upon hearing his words, everyone began to calm down, looking back down in the direction of the Blood Pool.

At this moment, in the Blood Pool, almost all of the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus were mature, emitting a captivating scent. The number of black hairs in the Blood Pool was also increasing, nearly occupying half of it. The black hair protruded from the surface of the Blood Pool, like slender arms, dancing gently in the breeze. Although their movements were gentle, they emitted an extremely bizarre aura. The red Blood Pool and the black hairs—this blood-curdling red-black combination gave an incredibly foreboding feeling.

"Senior Brother, the rest of the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus have all matured!" someone reminded.

The middle-aged man said gravely, "Although I don’t know what this black-haired creature is, it’s quite creepy. We need to be extremely careful. Once we’ve collected the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus, we must rise into the air promptly and leave this place!"

"We understand, Senior Brother!" everyone responded in unison.

Next, the middle-aged man divided the Shenluo Tian disciples into two groups. He dispatched a few disciples at the First Level of the Life and Death Realm to collect the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus above the Blood Pool, while the others were to remain on guard for a sudden attack from the black strands.

Once everything was arranged, they took action.

Three to four figures dropped from mid-air, heading straight for the Blood Pool. All of them were at the First Level of the Life and Death Realm. Normally, according to the standard collection procedure, only one person was needed. But, considering the current situation’s strangeness, the middle-aged man decided to send a few more people to share the risk.

The Shenluo Tian disciples in the Life and Death Realm held their breaths. As they gradually approached the Blood Pool, they felt an inexplicable tension. The black strands danced wildly above the surface of the Blood Pool, like countless flexible long hands, very spirited. It seemed they could launch a deadly attack at any time.

They were hesitant to attack these mysterious black strands, fearing that a strong impact might destroy the remaining Nine-leaf Blood Lotus. If so, their mission would be a total failure. Even if they could bring back a small portion of the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus, they would have something to show for their efforts back in the Sect.

SWISH! A soft sound suddenly erupted as countless black strands abruptly accelerated their growth, rushing toward the Shenluo Tian disciples who were descending from mid-air.

The middle-aged man frowned and immediately waved his arm. "Attack!"

At this moment, all the Shenluo Tian disciples by his side spread their arms and launched the Shenluo Sky Explosion together.

The extended black strands were instantly enveloped by a vibrating void.

HUMMM... With the high-speed spatial vibration, a powerful shockwave instantly shattered the black strands.

PHEW! The Cultivators sighed in relief upon seeing this. They immediately reached out to grab the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus below.

They had thought the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus would instantly be within their grasp. Unexpectedly, the Blood Pool suddenly churned. The bloody water rumbled and surged, and countless black strands shot out densely from it, like countless long black snakes, pouncing at the disciples in mid-air.

"How can there be so many?"

The Life and Death Realm disciples were startled and, without hesitation, spread their arms and launched the Shenluo Sky Explosion.

BOOM! A loud explosion rocked the void before them. The spatial attack formed by the Shenluo Sky Explosion instantly annihilated the dense assault of black strands.

However, just as this wave of attack ended, more black strands grew frenziedly once more, rushing towards the disciples.

"Shenluo Sky Explosion!" the Shenluo Tian disciples yelled, once again launching this most powerful Divine Skill they possessed.

However, this wave of black strands was completely different from the last. This time, the black strands became organized. A portion of the black strands sped up crazily, bypassing the attack range of the Shenluo Sky Explosion and attacking the disciples from another strange angle, while the other portion was struck by the Shenluo Sky Explosion and shattered again.

"Junior brothers, be careful! These black strands have gone mad!" The middle-aged man gasped when he saw this, stretched out his hands, and also launched the Shenluo Sky Explosion.

BOOM! Several loud explosions rang out. The middle-aged man’s Shenluo Sky Explosion Divine Skill actually solidified several small pockets of space, shattering all the sneak-attacking black strands.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" The rescued Life and Death Realm disciples, their faces filled with gratitude, thanked him loudly. In the urgent situation, while still speaking, they once again reached out for the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus.

WHOOSH! The remaining Nine-leaf Blood Lotus, its roots detached from the soil of the Blood Pool, flew towards them.

At this moment, something unexpected happened!
