The world took on a terrifying blood-red hue. It was monotonous and blinding in terms of sight alone.
Feng Ling wrapped himself in spiritual energy and carefully observed this world.
Empty, without edge, like a prison without direction or end in sight.
Feng Ling observed carefully as he walked.
However, the Blood-Robe Realm did seem to be empty. Feng Ling walked in a straight line for half an hour and did not encounter anything.
"Could it be that there's really nothing in the Blood-Robe Realm?"
Feng Ling muttered to himself. However, at this moment, his eyebrows twitched quickly and his body gave a warning.
"What's going on?!"
Feng Ling was shocked. He hurriedly pinched the Fly's Blood Bead and returned to the Armament Workshop.
After leaving the Blood-Robe Realm, Feng Ling immediately felt different.
Unknowingly, several unknown insects had already crawled into his body!
These little bugs were about the thickness of toothpicks and two fingers long. At this moment, they were happily drinking his blood under his skin.
Feng Ling did not dare to hesitate. He activated his spiritual power and expelled a few insects from his body.
These insects were completely transparent and were forced out of their bodies before falling to the ground like earthworms. One of them even bent its body and shot towards Feng Ling again.
Feng Ling waved the Six-Faced Han Sword in his hand and cut the insect in half.
When the insect corpse landed on the ground, it directly turned into blood threads and dissipated into the air, leaving no trace behind.
[The Six-Faced Han Sword you forged has been successfully killed. Your Eastern Purple Qi Technique has improved by 5 points.]
A notification came from "Equipment Strategy". Feng Ling looked at the remaining few insects on the ground in surprise. He did not expect their life level to be so high!
At that moment, he no longer hesitated. He waved his sword continuously, and the Eastern Purple Qi Technique increased by 20 points.
Feng Ling's eyes lit up. These insects were simply the best "nourishing" products.
"This is a BUG now, haha."
Feng Ling held the Fly's Blood Bead in her hand and entered the Blood-Robe Realm again.
This time, he was on guard. This kind of insect was completely integrated with the environment in the Blood-Robe Realm and was difficult to discover. However, he had the Eastern Purple Qi Technique and could use the power of his soul to investigate.
Not long after he left, he suddenly heard the sound of the Equipment Strategy flipping pages in his mind, followed by a prompt:
[Unlocked Material: Blood Firefly Stone]
[Blood Firefly Stone: A special ore produced in the Blood-Robe Realm. It is a necessary material to forge the Blood-Robe Realm Key.]
It was a simple introduction, but Feng Ling was delighted.
This was because according to the Equipment Strategy, there were more than a dozen Blood Firefly Stones in the area he could see.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a backpack. All he could do was take off his shirt, tie it into a package, and take all the Blood Firefly Stones with him.
The Blood-Robe Realm had no direction to speak of. Once he left, it would not be easy for him to return. Therefore, Feng Ling would not let go of anything that he could take away on the spot.
But just as he was about to move on, a cloud of transparent insects floated towards him.
'That's right. It came through the air.'
These insects were like fish in the water in the Blood-Robed World. This was the environment they were most adapted to.
Feng Ling naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with them. Spiritual energy flowed, and the Six-Faced Han Sword had already swept several insects into it.
A series of notifications came, but two of them caught Feng Ling's attention.
[You have completed the killing of the Six-Faced Han Sword you forged. Your Eastern Purple Qi Technique has improved by 10 points.]
[Unlocked Material: Blood-Robe Centipede]
The Equipment Strategy was flipped again. A thin worm appeared on one of the blank pages of the Materials section.
[Blood-Robe Guide: A necessary material to forge the Blood-Robe Realm Key after the death of a Blood-Robe Worm above the Metamorphic Realm.]
Feng Ling reached out and squeezed, placing the corpse of a transparent Blood-Robe Worm in his hand.
"The Blood-Robe Guide is actually the corpse of this kind of insect?" Feng Ling looked at it carefully for a moment and didn't see anything special. He just put it in his pants pocket and temporarily kept it.
However, he was more interested in the Blood-Robe Realm now.
This was a good place. Not only could it allow him to quickly increase his strength, but he could also farm materials.
It was probably a good dungeon for killing monsters to level up and obtain materials!
Unfortunately, his soul was still not strong enough. After capturing and killing the last Blood-Robe Worm, Feng Ling knew that he had to go out.
After giving the order, the Fly's Blood Bead in his hand reacted extremely quickly. In the next moment, Feng Ling had already returned to the shop.
However, something unexpected happened. The Fly's Blood Bead in his hand shattered.
The originally round bead seemed to have gone through countless years of corrosion. The moment it came out, the last bit of persistence was blown away by the wind and it turned into powder that fell from Feng Ling's fingertips.
Feng Ling opened his mouth, unable to react for a moment.
He had just found a treasure room, but the key turned to ashes right under his nose?
"So, this Fly's Blood Bead is actually a consumable…?"
Feng Ling finally had to accept this reality. Fortunately, he had already obtained the method to make the Fly's Blood Bead.
According to the introduction in the Equipment Strategy, it was not difficult to make this Fly's Blood Bead.
Speaking of which, he only needed three steps: refine the Blood Firefly Stone, refine the Blood-Robe Guide, and fuse them.
However, one of the difficulties was that the ratio of the Blood Firefly Stone to the Blood-Robe Guide had to be just right.
Unfortunately, "Equipment Strategy" did not give him this ratio. Feng Ling still had to figure it out himself.
"Now that I have 17 Blood Firefly Stones and two Blood-Robe Guides, I have to be careful."
Feng Ling thought for a moment and prepared to go home to study the Fly's Blood Bead.
From the looks of the current situation, the appearance of the Fly's Blood Bead undoubtedly opened up the fastest way to hint at his strength.
The gains in these few short hours were huge.
Comparatively, the Blood-Robe Realm was the best choice among the few choices.
After all, there were satellites flying in the sky. It was fine to protect the small animals in the forest occasionally, but if they went often, they would attract attention sooner or later.
Most importantly, the number of evolved beasts in the forest was also limited.
Feng Ling found a backpack and opened the Blood Firefly Stone and Blood-Robe Guide separately. He found a clean shirt before leaving the Armament Workshop.
At this moment, the blockade outside Divine Weapon Town had been lifted. Only the place where Feng Ling and the masked man were fighting was still guarded.
Because it had only been a short time, even though the residents in the area enveloped by the black fog had suffered varying degrees of blood loss, they were generally fine.
Of course, some of the older people did not have enough blood essence to begin with, and many of them were in danger.
In addition, some special cases more or less caused certain deaths.
However, the officials quickly gave an explanation to the outside world: There was a natural underground swamp gas under the Divine Weapon Town that suddenly erupted. It contained a certain level of toxicity and would cause people to faint if they inhaled it. In serious cases, they might die…
In short, this matter was resolved on the same day. Other than the people in the Divine Weapon Town, it did not attract much attention.
Only some brief introduction of "underground swamp gas" appeared on the news in Mu Liang City.
The female host even warned the citizens to pay attention to the flow of air. Once they discovered anything abnormal, they had to call the police in time.
