Having arrived at Hell Road, a trace of bloody light suddenly flickered in Hu Liena's eyes. The Bloody Mary poison within her began to react with Hell Road.
Tianlin didn't help Hu Liena detoxify like Tang San did, and even if he had given her the antidote back then, with Hu Liena's aversion and wariness towards Tianlin, she might not have taken it.
However, as a blue light flickered on her forehead, she quickly regained her composure.
As expected of the original protagonist's Head Bone, the amplification to Mental Power is truly significant, actually forcibly maintaining Hu Liena's rationality.
Bibi Dong actually had another Spirit Bone in her possession that was no less impressive than the Wisdom Head Bone, but the reason she gave Hu Liena priority in choosing this one was because she valued the word "wisdom." The more intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to maintain rationality in critical moments.
"This is Hell Road?" Hu Liena said, looking at the narrow path only half a foot wide in front of her, "It's truly fitting, isn't it? One wrong step and you'll fall into hell, doomed forever."
In fact, before coming to Slaughter City, Bibi Dong had roughly told Hu Liena about the scenery in Hell Road, but so many years had passed, it was impossible for this place to remain unchanged. Therefore, the information she had could only be used as a reference.
But in Hu Liena's heart, even if there wasn't much information, it was still much better than Tianlin, who knew nothing. She could carefully plan here to make this Sword Prince, or rather, Sword Dao Asura, die within this Hell Road.
"At this time, don't release your killing intent towards me randomly, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist chopping you with a sword!" Tianlin walked ahead without turning his head.
Hu Liena smiled slightly and followed Tianlin, "Sorry, I've lived in this Slaughter City for too long, sometimes I can't control myself."
They didn't tie themselves together with clothes or ropes, for a simple reason: neither of them trusted the other.
"Hu Liena, have you noticed? As we move forward, the surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher," Tianlin asked after walking for a while.
"That's right, the magma below should be getting closer and closer to us. At first, it was a thousand meters away, but now it's probably only nine hundred meters. If this continues, I'm afraid the last section of Hell Road will be completely submerged in magma. That will be the most difficult section to walk," Hu Liena said. Her level and Mental Power were much stronger than in the original story. She also noticed something else and raised her head, "Something's coming."
"Bats, thousands of them!" Tianlin said in a deep voice. How could he not feel what Hu Liena could sense? Moreover, his perception was even clearer.
As they got closer, the flying creatures could finally be seen clearly. They were blood-red bats, like the miniature version of the blood-colored 纹路 left on the ground of the Hell Slaughter Arena before. Each blood bat was about a foot long, but its huge Wings spanned more than a meter when unfolded.
One or two such blood bats were naturally nothing, but the sudden appearance of thousands of them was like a red cloud of blood, flying quickly towards Tianlin and Hu Liena.
At this time, Hu Liena's face had become very ugly. She held the short sword in her hand in front of her chest and asked anxiously, "What should we do?"
"What's so great about it? Just a few thousand," Tianlin said indifferently, "*Phantom Sword!*"
The Demon Sword's Innate Spirit Ability, Phantom Sword, was constantly strengthening as his level increased. From the initial dozens of swords, it could reach thousands now. If combined with the Myriad Swords Technique, Tianlin could release hundreds of thousands of swords in an instant.
But now, Phantom Sword alone was enough. Countless shadow swords flew towards the bats. In less than a moment, the red cloud of blood was swept away, leaving only bat corpses falling into the magma.
"Let's go. If this counts as a checkpoint, then can we say that we've passed the first level?" Tianlin said calmly and continued forward.
How powerful. Such a dense rain of swords. If it fell on me, I would have no way to dodge it at all and would definitely die, Hu Liena sighed secretly, and at the same time strengthened her determination to leave Tianlin here completely. Otherwise, once he obtained the Kiling God Domain and went out, he would be even more difficult to deal with, and would sooner or later become a great enemy of their Spirit Hall.
"Squeak!" Just at this moment, a bat cry with anger suddenly came from the front.
Right in front of them on this narrow road, below the narrow road, hung a huge guy upside down. Under the cover of the surrounding light red light, it released a dark golden light. The guy was about four meters long, and two huge claws were clasped on the narrow road. Each claw had a diameter of more than one meter, and it gripped the stone sharply.
In the screams of a large number of blood bats, a pair of huge Wings slowly opened on the dark golden body. The terrifying Wings span was actually as wide as ten meters. The two claws suddenly released, and under the flapping of the huge Wings, its huge body flew up. It turned out to be an extremely huge bat.
The whole body was dark gold, and the most terrifying thing was that it actually had three heads.
Hu Liena murmured, "It seems that the first level hasn't passed yet. We're in trouble. We beat the small ones, so the old one came to take revenge."
"Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, its attribute is darkness. I've seen this kind of Soul Beast in the Soul Beast illustrated book, but this one seems to have mutated. Judging from its size, its age is over 60,000 years. We must deal with it carefully," Tianlin introduced.
The strength of a 60,000-year Soul Beast is already above the Soul Sage level, especially the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, a mutated species. I'm afraid that even a Titled Douluo would not be able to deal with it easily without using Spirit Ability.
The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King is cunning by nature. It didn't attack the two of them right away, but began to destroy the road ahead, intending to make them perish on their own.
"Jun Tianlin, facing this kind of monster, we must join forces. You do the physical attacks, and I'll do the mental attacks!" Hu Liena said anxiously.
"Okay, let's fight while running, and rush through this first section of the Hell Road before it completely destroys it!" Tianlin activated the Shu Mountain movement technique and rushed forward quickly.
Although Hu Liena didn't have a movement technique like his, she had already activated her External Spirit Bone, Fox Tail. The External Spirit Bone enhances all physical attributes, and in an instant, her speed also greatly increased.
How could the Bat King watch them pass through the first checkpoint just like that? All three heads began to scream at the same time, as if it was about to use some powerful skill.
Having read the original work, Tianlin knew that to kill this Three-Headed Bat King, unless all three of its heads were blown off in one go, otherwise, destroying only one or two heads would be meaningless, as it could regenerate in an instant. Therefore, Tianlin did not attack rashly.
"We must stop its skill, Enchanting Shadow Divine Light!" A light flashed in Hu Liena's eyes. Unexpectedly, her Spirit Bone Skill could not only be used to charm enemies, but also as a Mental Power impact.
