The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2417: Risking the Blood Pool

The blood pool at this moment was as calm as a pool of dead water.

The blood-red liquid lay quietly in the pool without the slightest ripple, like a frozen picture, revealing an indescribable silence.

The surface of the blood pool was as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of movement, as if time had stopped flowing here, and the entire space was shrouded in deathly silence.

However, Matthew and the other three all knew that things were far from as simple as they seemed.

The air around seemed to have condensed into a heavy lead plate, making it hard to breathe.

Behind this seemingly calm pool of blood, there seemed to be endless dangers hidden, waiting to devour them if they were not careful.

Especially the last sentence said by the blood dwarf, which was like a sharp sword hanging high above their heads.

Every word in those words was like a heavy hammer, striking their heartstrings again and again.

Every time you stay a moment longer, the invisible pressure will increase.

"What exactly is the Blood God he mentioned?" Zuo Qiunan couldn't help swallowing, staring at the pool of blood, as if trying to find the answer from that calm liquid.

His voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of nervousness and uneasiness, and he looked at Matthew and asked.

The blood dwarf had mentioned the name of Blood God twice already. Each mention was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in his heart and making him feel an indescribable feeling of something was wrong.

Zuo Qiunan had a vague guess in his mind, but as soon as this thought came out, he forcibly suppressed it.

In the world of cultivating immortals, some things, once touched, may bring unpredictable consequences, so he didn't dare to think about it too much. He could only silently warn himself in his heart not to fall into unwarranted speculation.

"I don't know either. This is the first time I've heard of this..."

Matthew shook his head slowly, a look of confusion and bewilderment on his face.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was trying to recall where he had heard this name, but after thinking for a long time, he found nothing.

But before he could finish his words, Matthew's expression suddenly changed, and his originally calm face instantly became solemn.

His eyes widened and a gleam of inspiration flashed in his eyes, as if he suddenly thought of something.

Before anyone else could react, he asked hastily, "Blood God Cave, could that statue be the Blood God?"

Matthew's voice was low and serious, and he looked at Zuo Qiunan with a hint of inquiry.

After hearing Matthew's words, Zuo Qiunan was stunned for a moment, and then he looked suddenly enlightened.

His eyes moved rapidly, as if he was thinking and reasoning intensely in his mind.

After a moment, his tone became a little hurried, and he said: "Could it be that this blood pool leads directly to the Blood God Cave!"

There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes, as if he saw a glimmer of hope of solving the mystery.

Matthew took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself, then nodded heavily and said, "It's very likely. The only thing we can do now is to go into the blood pool and see what's going on."

After he finished speaking, his eyes remained fixed on the pool of blood that had returned to calm, his gaze revealing firmness and determination.

Everything he said was just a bold guess at the moment, and he was not very sure in his heart. However, on this long journey of cultivating immortals, they encountered such a strange situation, and entering the blood pool seemed to be their only possible way to find clues.

Moreover, the blood dwarf has not made any movement since jumping into the blood pool, which makes them feel that there are unknown secrets inside the blood pool.

Beneath the calm pool of blood, there seemed to be a huge whirlpool hidden, waiting for them to explore.

Xingyan and Yueru looked at each other. Naturally, they had no objections.

Matthew said so much specifically for Zuo Qiunan to hear. After all, Zuo Qiunan has always been cautious, and at this critical moment, he needs to make a decision.

"This move is indeed a bit risky, but things have developed to this point, and it is worth taking a risk."

Zuo Qiunan's eyes moved quickly and he spoke softly, with a hint of determination in his voice.

There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he was ready to face all unknown dangers.

"Okay, let's act now, otherwise things might change."

Matthew was already prepared, and he spoke immediately after Zuo Qiunan expressed his opinion.

After he finished speaking, a dazzling purple light shone from Matthew's body, covering his entire body.

The purple light flickered, illuminating the air around him, as if he was covered with a layer of mysterious and powerful armor.

At the same time, Xingyan and Yueru were also like this. They also glowed with light.

When Zuo Qiu Nan took out a talisman and stuck it on his body, his whole body was wrapped in golden light, and then the four of them jumped directly into the blood pool.

The golden light flickered on the surface of the blood pool, and then disappeared, as if it was swallowed up by the blood-red liquid.

When the light on their bodies came into contact with the liquid in the blood pool, a "hissing" sound immediately occurred.

The sound echoed in the blood pool, breaking the peace that had been there for a long time. These liquids carried a strong corrosive force, which was rapidly corroding the spiritual light they released.

The power of corrosion is like countless tiny insects, constantly gnawing at the spiritual light, making it gradually thinner.

While the four of them were using their magic power to maintain their aura, their bodies were also rapidly diving into the blood pool.

Their bodies were like swimming fish, shuttling back and forth in the blood-red liquid, and every swing of their bodies created ripples.

The inside of the blood pool is straight downward, and the space seems to have no end, extending continuously.

Moreover, it becomes wider as they go down, and the pressure around them is gradually increasing, making them feel an invisible pressure squeezing their bodies.

But just as they dived down, a siphon appeared inside the blood pool.

At first, the suction was not very strong, it just gently pulled their bodies, making them feel their bodies sinking slightly.

Matthew and the others thought that this was a pre-existing situation, so they didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to swim downwards.

Under the influence of the siphon force, their bodies unconsciously sped up a little.

The surrounding blood-red liquid flowed quickly past them, making them feel the wonder of this power.

However, after just a dozen breaths, the situation changed.

The suction force began to grow stronger and stronger, as if an invisible giant hand was pulling them.

Matthew felt his body beginning to lose control. He tried hard to steady himself, but the suction became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for him to resist.

Xing Yan's face turned pale. She tried hard to mobilize her magic power to resist the suction, but that force was like a tide, hitting her wave after wave.

Yueru gritted her teeth and kept changing gestures with her hands. Her magic power formed a thin shield around her body, trying to resist the powerful suction.

Zuo Qiunan's situation was not much better.

Under the influence of the siphon force, the golden light all over his body began to flicker.

He frowned and tried hard to keep his balance, but the suction force seemed to have identified him and kept pulling him towards him.

As time went by, the siphon force became stronger and stronger, and the four of them felt as if they were about to be dragged into an endless abyss by this force.

They looked around, trying to find a solution, but the interior of the blood pool was dead silent, giving them no clues.

“What should I do? The suction is getting stronger and stronger!” There was a rare hint of panic in Xingyan’s voice.

"We can't give up, let's think of another way!"

Matthew shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the pool of blood. Although it was full of determination, a hint of effort could also be heard.

"I'll try to see if I can control this suction!"

As Zuo Qiunan spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.

He tried to use his magic power to control the siphon force, but the force was like stubborn weeds and was completely out of his control.

The siphon force in the blood pool continued to increase, and the four of them felt that their magic power was being consumed rapidly.

Their magic power began to be exhausted and their bodies began to feel tired.

Just when they felt despair, Matthew's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the bottom of the blood pool and had a bold idea in his mind.

Matthew shouted to the three people, "Let's try to gather all our strength and rush to the bottom of the blood pool. Maybe we can break through this suction!"

Xingyan and Yueru nodded in agreement, Zuo Qiunan also stopped what he was doing, and the three of them quickly gathered towards Matthew.

The four of them were in tune with each other, and at the same time they mobilized the little remaining magic power in their bodies, gathering it into a powerful force.

Led by Matthew, the four rushed straight to the bottom of the blood pool.

This time, they no longer resisted the suction, but went directly towards the suction.

At the same time, Matthew took out a jade bottle from the storage bag.

After opening it, he used his magic power to draw a few drops of spiritual liquid from the jade bottle and delivered them to the mouths of several people.

After seeing the spiritual liquid emitting rich spiritual energy, Xingyan and Yueru opened their mouths and sucked the spiritual liquid into their mouths without any hesitation.

After the spiritual liquid entered the body, it immediately turned into an extremely pure energy that filled the whole body.

The magic power that had been somewhat exhausted was also recovering rapidly with the nourishment of energy.

Zuo Qiu Nan showed a hint of hesitation.

It was not until he saw Matthew swallow several drops of spiritual liquid in one breath that he sucked the spiritual liquid in front of him into his mouth.

When the magic power in his body recovered rapidly, Zuo Qiunan's face showed a look of joy.

"Good stuff, give me some more!" Feeling the magic power in his body recovering quickly, Zuo Qiu Nan shouted with joy.

Matthew smiled slightly when he heard this, and used his magic power to draw some spiritual liquid from the jade bottle again and sent it to several people.

This time, Zuo Qiu Nan opened his mouth and sucked in the spiritual liquid without any hesitation.
