The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 423: Ghost Mountain Blood Lake

Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Ghost Mountain Blood Lake

Fang Lin stood by a lake, completely stunned, his eyes were glued to the view in front of him.

He was so fixated on it because this lake was exceptionally unusual.

This lake was filled with an intensely strong odor of blood, and the lake water was bright red in color.

This was a blood lake!

A lake made up of fresh blood, everywhere he looked was the color of blood red, the stinging smell of blood enough to make him dizzy.

Unexpectedly, Fang Lin found such an uncanny lake in the border area of Qian Country.

Quickly, Fang Lin thought of something, and he turned his gaze to the distance. As expected, at the end of the lake, there stood a mountain peak that seemed desolate.

“Could this place be the Ghost Mountain Blood Lake, one forbidden area in Qian Country?” Fang Lin murmured to himself, with a faintly furrowed brow.

Fang Lin has heard of the infamous Ghost Mountain Blood Lake, it is an extremely well-known forbidden area in Qian Country. None who have ever stepped foot in it managed to emerge alive.

The Endless Dungeon was considered to be the safest among Qian Country’s three forbidden areas. The other two, the Ghost Mountain Blood Lake and the Misty Forest, were both known as death traps, with no one surviving once they entered.

With such reputation, the Ghost Mountain Blood Lake and the Misty Forest had become places that people of Qian Country dreaded even mentioning. Nobody dared to enter or even approach these two places.

Because in the past, disastrous events had happened in these two forbidden areas, where numerous passersby near the forbidden areas got sucked into them, and none had ever appeared again.

Hence, the people of Qian Country preferred to venture into Endless Dungeon to search for treasures, and they wouldn’t dare mess with the Ghost Mountain Blood Lake or the Misty Forest, as it would be tantamount to seeking death.

After observing for quite a while, Fang Lin was almost certain that this place was the Ghost Mountain Blood Lake.

Fang Lin silently lamented his bad luck. After barely escaping death and entering Qian Country, he thought he would be safe. But unexpectedly, he ended up in a forbidden area, the Ghost Mountain Blood Lake. Could there be anyone more unfortunate than him?

Although Fang Lin wanted to leave immediately, his physical injuries prevented him from moving further. He had no choice but to rest on the spot.

“Oh well, since I’m already here, I’ll leave when I recover a bit more.” Fang Lin muttered to himself as he sat down and started to meditate and heal his injuries.

But Fang Lin did not dare to lower his guard. This eerie place is unpredictable and could bring danger at any moment. He absolutely did not dare to be careless.

After a while, seeing that nothing was happening around he relaxed a bit, swallowed the healing pills, and continued his healing session.

And at the moment when Fang Lin was healing himself, from the blood lake that was silent as a mirror, suddenly ripples started to form as if there’s something surging beneath.

Fang Lin quickly opened his eyes, staring at the movement in the blood lake, his eyes filled with vigilance.

The movement in the blood lake became more and more intense, and amidst the churning blood water, a gigantic python burst out.

This giant python was blood-red with extremely sharp fangs, and astonishingly, on its head, there was a creepy human face.

Seeing this hellish creature lunging at him from the lake, Fang Lin was startled and quickly drew out his bone club.

Thud!

Fang Lin struck the python’s head with the club, only to get himself knocked away by the blood-red giant python.

The blood-red python was swift, opening its massive mouth and roaring at Fang Lin, as it aimed to swallow him up.

Fang Lin swore under his breath, surprised by the strength of the blood-red python that had knocked him off balance in just one move. With the python attempting to devour him, he knew he was in big trouble.

Right then, Fang Lin stabilized his body, his Breaking Peak Blood Essence energized, and his entire being transformed into a humanoid Demon Beast.

Fang Lin intended to utilize the imposing aura of the giant demon, breaking peak to intimidate the blood-red python and prevent it from attacking him.

However, the blood-red giant python did not seem to fear Fang Lin’s Breaking Peak aura. It did not even seem to notice it and continued to charge at him.

At that moment, Fang Lin was taken aback. Could it be that this giant python was not a Demon Beast? Otherwise, any Demon Beast should instinctively fear the Breaking Peak’s aura.

But at this moment, he didn’t have the luxury of time for such thoughts. When the giant python launched its attack, Fang Lin displayed the power of Breaking Peak, and swung his club at it once again.

This time, it had an effect. The giant python, feeling the pain, retreated a bit but still glared ferociously at Fang Lin, considering him as its prey.

Fang Lin also stared back at it, thinking ‘is it just a python after all? It should not be as powerful as the Three Transformations Demon Beast. Although he was still injured, Fang Lin was not afraid of it.

In the next moment, however, Fang Lin paled as if he had seen a ghost, and his expression was priceless to say the least.

He saw that from the blood lake, numerous blood-red pythons continuously emerged to the surface. The pairs of human-like eyes were all staring at Fang Lin, and they were all heading in the direction of the shore.

They were copious and seemingly unending. At first glance, there seemed to be more than hundreds of them, which was enough to catch Fang Lin off guard.

“Oh my God!” Fang Lin retreated continuously, realizing he was in deep trouble. Who would have known that there could be so many giant pythons in this Blood Lake? One would already be dangerous enough, let alone so many of them. Even if a Heavenly Origin powerhouse came here, they would probably tremble with fear.

At this moment, Fang Lin had no time to think. With such a large number and super high speed of the pythons, escape was impossible.

At that point, Fang Lin slapped his Nine Palace Bag and took out his Blood Sword.

As soon as the Blood Sword appeared, it tried to suck Fang Lin’s blood, immediately, Fang Lin threw it away, pointing it towards the giant pythons.

“Aren’t you thirsty for blood? Here you have so many snakes, suck as much as you want. If not enough, there is a bloody lake over there, have as much as you wish.” Fang Lin shouted at the Blood Sword.

It was just an attempt of luck, but surprisingly, the Blood Sword shone brightly as if in response to Fang Lin’s words.

Immediately after, the Blood Sword turned into a shadow, slashing through the bodies of the blood-red pythons.

Wherever the sword went, those originally imposing blood-red pythons were all cut open from top to bottom.

While the fresh blood inside these blood-red giant pythons was constantly flowing into the Blood Sword.

Fang Lin watched in amazement, cursing in his heart, the Blood Sword always failed him during critical moments only to become so enthusiastic when it came to sucking blood. Really hateful.

But who told the sword to be the Boss? Fang Lin also couldn’t afford to offend it, he had to treat it as a treasure.

In just a short while, over a hundred blood-red pythons all turned into corpses. Strangely, there was not even a drop of blood on the ground. Everything was sucked clean by the Blood Sword.

It seemed that the Blood Sword was not satisfied yet, it turned around and rushed towards the eerie blood lake.

“What? You really want to suck the lake dry?” Fang Lin was dumbfounded, and immediately tried to stop it. The Blood Lake was too strange, he was afraid that the Blood Sword might cause some major trouble.
