Under the bloodline pressure brought by Wo Long's dragon roar, the three-headed bat completely lost the courage to resist.
As the three-headed bat, now utterly defenseless, was easily held in Wo Long's grasp, Wo Long began a series of brutal lessons. It used its dragon aura to intimidate, its claws to tear, and its mouth to devour.
Soon, under Wo Long's three-pronged assault, the three-headed bat was covered in horrifying wounds in no time.
The three-headed bat, which originally had three ferocious and terrifying heads, now had two of its heads bitten off by Wo Long. The remaining head was half-dead, its once spine-chilling screams growing weaker and weaker.
It seemed that even if Wo Long stopped attacking now, the bat wouldn't last much longer.
Finally, at a certain moment, it completely lost its life force, its mutilated body dying in Wo Long's hands.
"Roar!!!"
After dealing with the three-headed bat, Wo Long let out a powerful roar toward the ceiling.
It was venting the boredom it had felt after a year of doing nothing!!
As Wo Long vented, its terrifying dragon aura quickly spread across the blood pool.
With the three-headed bat dead, killed by Wo Long, the swarm of blood bats in the distance, which had formed a dark wall, went into a frenzy.
The frenzied blood bats immediately flew toward Wo Long, wanting to destroy the golden dragon before them and avenge their leader!
But they had only been in chaos for a short while before they seemed to see something terrifying and quickly scattered!
Although the blood bats had gone into a frenzy after losing their leader.
Under the pressure of Wo Long's dragon aura, which struck at their very souls, their frenzy was suppressed. Thus, as a sense of rationality returned, the blood bats immediately chose to flee, not daring to fly forward any further.
Seeing the dark swarm of blood bats leave, Hu Liena also breathed a sigh of relief.
That scene had been too disgusting. So many bats swarming toward them—although Hu Liena wasn't afraid of them, she definitely didn't want to face them head-on if she could avoid it.
Unlike in the original story, Hu Liena had been pampered by Xiao Yu for a year.
She still found some disgusting things hard to accept.
She wasn't afraid, but the physical revulsion was still there.
"Well done, Wo Long. Let's keep moving forward!!"
After speaking to Wo Long, Xiao Yu continued to lead Hu Liena toward the narrow staircase ahead.
After dealing with the three-headed bat, the next challenge was the legendary ancient beast, the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake.
This legendary beast had even received high praise from Tang San.
Its inner core eventually became Ma Hongjun's seventh spirit ring.
Wait, if this ancient beast's inner core could be used as a spirit ring for Ma Hongjun, couldn't it also be used to upgrade Hu Liena's spirit?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate any longer. He followed Wo Long and quickly moved forward.
He wanted to see this legendary ancient beast for himself.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Xiao Yu and Hu Liena walked safely and steadily along the narrow path until they reached the end. At the end was a wide cliff, and below the cliff was an enormous blood pool.
This blood pool was even hotter and more turbulent than the one they had seen earlier near the blood bats.
Presumably, this was the core of the City of Slaughter.
This was also where Tang San had dropped the Snowy Swan's Kiss, destroying the City of Slaughter.
On the other side of the cliff was a strange vortex-like space.
The vortex was grayish-white and looked incredibly mysterious!
Presumably, that was the exit from the City of Slaughter.
As for the distance between the cliff and the vortex.
This short flight distance was nothing to Xiao Yu. Whether riding Wo Long or using his own dragon wings, he could easily fly across.
But what puzzled Xiao Yu was, where was the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake?!
Why hadn't it appeared at all during their journey?
Tang San hadn't even arrived yet, so there was no reason for the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake to have been killed by someone else!
"Xiao Yu, the exit is right ahead. Let's go... Once we're out, I want to take a good bath. Bathing in the City of Slaughter is so uncomfortable. By the way, it's been so long, and I've never helped you scrub your back or been with you in the bath..."
Hu Liena clung to Xiao Yu's arm, her face red as she spoke.
She had already made up her mind. During these next two weeks, she would use all her charms to leave a lasting impression on Xiao Yu, securing a place in his heart!!
Otherwise, once they were apart for too long, with so many women around Xiao Yu, some of whom might have the same intentions as her, Hu Liena had to make sure her impression was the deepest. She wanted Xiao Yu to remember her fondly even after a year or two.
Just as Hu Liena was fantasizing about how to completely win over Xiao Yu after they left, Xiao Yu's words made her freeze.
"Wait, let's go back."
"Huh?"
Hu Liena was stunned.
Go back? Go back for what? Isn't the exit right ahead? Why are we going back?
Before Hu Liena could react, Xiao Yu immediately turned back with Wo Long.
Seeing this, although Hu Liena didn't understand Xiao Yu's reasoning, she could only quickly follow.
"..."
"My name is the Ten-Headed Fiery Yang Snake. I come from the ancient world. I am strong. I am the guardian of the Hell Road. But now, I am panicking because I just discovered that my subordinate, the Darkgolden Tri-Skull Bat King, was killed by... my ancestor?
I was sleeping earlier because, in this godforsaken place, my subordinate is male, and challengers only come once every few decades. What else could I do but sleep? However, while I was deep in sleep.
I felt my ancestor calling me, so I left my nest to see what my ancestor looked like... But as soon as I stepped out, I saw my subordinate, the Darkgolden Tri-Skull Bat King, being brutally killed.
And the one who killed my subordinate was none other than that giant lizard radiating the aura of my ancestor. Seeing this, I was terrified.
Although I am the boss of the Darkgolden Tri-Skull Bat King, my strength is only slightly greater than his. If my subordinate was instantly killed, I would likely meet the same fate if I faced them.
Thus, to avoid following in my subordinate's footsteps, I decided to hide. Although I am the guardian of this level, who says a guardian can't be afraid or run away?! Therefore, I wisely hid, allowing the challengers to pass.
In the end, I survived. They didn't notice me and headed straight for the exit. Hehe, clever me. Alright, back to sleep."
