C1116 Day after Day
Huo Zhengcheng, Lin Long and the others hurriedly dodged to the side.
Huo Zhengcheng and Lin Long had flashed past, but that other elder was a step too late. He was immediately bitten by that enormous beast and swallowed.
Even if he fought back with all his might, it would have no effect on the gigantic beast at all.
Fortunately, after swallowing the two elders, the beast no longer attacked Lin Long and Huo Zhengcheng, but started to dive into the sea of blood and quickly disappeared.
Even if Lin Long had strong willpower, he didn't know where the other party had gone to in such a short period of time.
"Is this the berserk beast from the Blood Sea? It's too scary." Huo Zhengcheng exclaimed after a long while.
"That's right, it's too powerful. Even if all of us were to gather our strength, we still wouldn't be able to defeat such a fierce beast. Moreover, right now, it seems like there are quite a few of them." Lin Long also frowned.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have brought you here." Huo Zhengcheng could not help but shake his head.
For a time, it turned out that even though he had encountered that evil ghost, he actually felt a bit despondent. Compared to the vicious beasts inside, they were simply too insignificant.
"Sect Leader Huo, since the situation has already become like this, we should not regret it. We should think of a way to deal with it." Lin Long immediately replied.
Lin Long's words caused Huo Zhengcheng to regain his senses, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "Lin Gongzi, I've let you down."
"Lin Gongzi, I wonder what we should do?" After that, looking at the vast sea of blood in front of him, Huo Zhengcheng could not help but ask Lin Long.
The sea of blood looked calm, but he could feel the danger inside. It wouldn't be surprising if a vicious beast appeared out of nowhere.
"We should be careful, we should try our best not to provoke the berserk beasts inside, then see if we can wait for the giant eagle that Gu Han was talking about. Maybe that giant eagle can bring us out of here." Lin Long said.
"If you say it like that, I feel that Elder Lu did not anger that beast just now. Otherwise, it would not have attacked us, nor would Elder Lu and the others lose their lives in its stomach." Huo Zhengcheng could not help but ask.
"There is such a possibility, so we have to try our best not to offend them, so that they won't notice our existence." Lin Long nodded.
At this moment, the two of them were slowly advancing in the sea of blood. They then used their own spiritual senses to sense their surroundings and tried their best to avoid encountering the vicious beasts in the sea of blood.
Perhaps it was as the two of them had guessed. Even though the two of them had encountered a lot of fierce beasts, and these fierce beasts were also extremely fierce, they did not attack them.
Such a situation made them feel as if they had truly met a giant eagle like the one Gu Han had previously encountered.
However, to their disappointment, as time passed, they did not encounter such a giant eagle.
Even after so many days had passed, it was still the same. Even if there were many vicious beasts flying in the sky, sometimes even giant eagle-like vicious beasts, none of them would be able to take them into the air.
During this process, they had run into all kinds of ferocious beasts. Once, Lin Long had even run into beasts like the Flaming Beast.
However, not one of them could take them away. It was as if they were abandoned in this world.
Then, as if several months had passed, there was still no change. They were still wandering through this sea of blood as if they were passing visitors.
After an unknown amount of time, the food on their bodies had been consumed. In the end, they could only eat some energy replenishing materials. When they had finished eating all of these materials, they would no longer have anything to eat.
Even though they were now Martial King Realm Warriors, they were far from the level of an otherworldly existence. Even though they did not need to eat a lot of food like ordinary people, they still had to eat some every once in a while to replenish their food.
Now, without energy replenishment, just training alone wouldn't be enough.
Of course, they could have lasted a very long time, unlike ordinary people who would starve to death in a few days.
However, this sort of time was not limitless. In other words, as time went on, they would eventually starve to death.
Even if Lin Long cultivated in Dantian recording and body technique, he knew that he had not reached that level yet.
After an unknown number of days, Huo Zhengcheng was the first to collapse. At this point, he was so hungry that only skin and bones remained, and he did not have any strength left in his entire body.2
It had all been his willpower that had allowed him to persevere until now.
But now, his willpower was useless, so he plopped down on the ground.
At this moment, they were on an island.
"Lin Gongzi, we should have been in this sea of blood for more than a year, right?" Looking at Lin Long, Huo Zhengcheng spoke with all his might.
"I think so." Lin Long said.
Although he had not calculated it, his intuition told him that it was about time.
"It's been over a year and I still can't hold on. I only hope that you, Lin Gongzi, can hold on," Huo Zhengcheng said.
"Hopefully." Lin Long said.
He naturally saw that Huo Zhengcheng was unable to persevere any longer. It had already been so many days, and he had already said what he needed to say.
"Before this final moment of departure, I still have some things that I want to say to you, Lin Gongzi," Huo Zhengcheng said again. At this moment, he seemed very serious.
"Oh, go ahead." Lin Long said lightly.
He knew what Huo Zhengcheng wanted to say, but he still let Huo Zhengcheng continue.
"If you are able to leave this place alive, you must take over the position of Sect Leader of my Holy Gate," Huo Zhengcheng said as he took off the ring on his finger.
Then he continued, "This is the keepsake of the Holy Gate's Sect Leader. If you have him, you will be the Sect Leader of the Holy Gate!"
After saying that, Huo Zhengcheng's expression became even more serious.
"Alright!" Lin Long said without hesitation.
As he was about to die, Lin Long would naturally not reject him.
Seeing that Lin Long had agreed, Huo Zhengcheng couldn't help but smile, and then he continued to speak, "Next is a father's wish. If you are able to survive and leave this place, if you can still find my daughter, please treat her well."
"Alright!" Lin Long nodded without hesitation once again.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Huo Qinghan's appearance. Not only Huo Qinghan, but also some of the other people in the devil sect.
So much time has passed, I wonder how you two are doing, whether you defeated the evil ghost, defeated Mo Ying, and are you still alive? Lin Long could not help but have this thought pass through his mind.
"One last request." At this time, Huo Zhengcheng's voice sounded beside Lin Long's ears.
"I hope you can continue to live well!"
