CHAPTER 188 BLOOD POOL (PART ONE)

Boom!

A loud sound deafened the area. The ground slightly shook because of the enormous impact. Feeling

dizzy, Darren realized that he had sunk into a cold mire. He was too tired to open his eyes after the

level six demonic monster inflicted great damage to his body.

Fortunately, nature seemed to be on his side. Darren felt refreshed when a blast of cold air flew into his

spine, making him come around. He took out some pills and spiritual herbs from Space Ring to relieve

his pain. He started to assimilate the spiritual energy and tried to recover from the injuries.

Of course, the herbs and pills didn't take effect instantly. So Darren had to be stagnant for a while. After

an hour, he consumed most of the pills and spiritual herbs. He soon recovered from his bone fracture

and came to his senses. He felt thrilled as if he was reincarnated again.

"I feel hot!" Darren shouted out of impulse. He couldn't restrain the hot humidity he felt.

'I have recovered. What a relief! I felt as if my life ended earlier and I was given a miracle, ' he thought

blissfully. As he kept on sinking into the mire, he didn't feel cold anymore. All the mud became so hot

that he could hardly sustain.

Whoosh!

As he had no time to waste, Darren transferred his power and flew up toward the entrance of the cave.

The time he spent on resting was quite long.

After a long while of transferring his power, feeling exhausted, Darren dashed out the cave with all his

forces. A blinding light spread around, making him close his eyes.

Facing front, a hard surface stopped him from exiting. Darren instantly recognized the smell of the

ground, then realized that he must have fallen to the ground. Pain crept in his body. After he fell on the

hard ground, Darren opened his eyes and looked backward.

"Ah!" Darren groaned, feeling aches all over his body. However, the escapade was a success. He

stood up and patted his clothes to clean them. After wiping himself, Darren was taken aback as

something caught his attention.

In front of him, there was a huge lake with a radius of a dozen kilometers. All the water had run dry and

revealed an enormous shoal. He was skeptical as to what happened in the lake. He was completely

dumbfounded when he looked at the bottom of the lake. It filled with blood and had an unpleasant and

overpowering smell. He suddenly came to the realization that he wasn't in the mud or water when he

sank into the hole. He couldn't help but blink his eyes to know if he was hallucinating. It was indeed a

blood lake!

Looking at the blood lake, he was stupefied and wide awake now. Eagerness to know more about the

lake succumbed him.

Although he still felt a sharp pain gushing all over his body, he walked along the lakeshore step by step.

What he could only think was to discover what happened to the lake. ...

As he stepped his feet into the lake, he had bad vibes about the situation. It was too ominous that he

felt the tension even with just a step. It seemed that the lake emitted a primitive aura from its bottom,

and it was totally different from the vibes of the shore.

'Did all the blood in the pools come from the primitive beasts' bodies? How terrifying...' Darren thought

to himself. Feeling the vibes, Darren felt lost in messed up thoughts. No one could answer his

questions right now, so he felt a little frustrated.

Shaking his head, Darren turned around and kept on observing the pools. He found that circles of

bloodstains ran dry on the ground, and he even found them around the shore. It proved that the lake

had once been filled with blood.

"Oh? What is that?" Darren was confused and startled with what he saw.

Looking far away, Darren found numerous bloody red plants on the edge of the pools. Even from a

distance, Darren could know those were plants with bloodstains.

With no doubts, Darren picked up his speed and walked toward them. It was even more awful up close.

Heaving a deep sigh, Darren bent and started to inspect those strange plants. He suddenly found that

there were numerous footprints on the ground. Those footprints were different in size, and he also

found that they did not only come from beast but also came from human. It proved that countless

creatures had been into this place. 'What could have happened here?' Darren thought in a state of

confusion.

'I could only guess that I'm in the Fire Cave right now. And I have heard that there are a lot of treasures

stored inside it. I don't know whether the bloody red plant is one of those treasures, ' Darren thought.

Staring at the plants, Darren started to wonder how he could end up landing here. Did the odds make

him come here for a purpose?

Since he had consumed all of his pills and spiritual herbs, it was time for him to assimilate them for

power again. He had no choice but to try those bloody red plants. It was his last resort for assimilation.

He reluctantly picked one of them and held it in his hands. There was no time for him to hesitate.

"Assimilate!" Upon uttering those words, Darren used his spiritual sense and started to assimilate the

plant.

Boom!

He felt like something was booming in his mind. Just when Darren started the progress, the hum of

voices haunted his head. He felt that the plant was emitting a primitive aura. It only meant one thing,

and Darren knew it already.

"The plant indeed has a hint of spiritual energy, but most of it filled with a primitive aura," Darren

couldn't help but speak aloud.

"Ah!"

Inevitably, Darren gave out a loud roar when he felt that the plant had undergone a dramatic

transformation inside his body. The bloody red plant had wild effects on Darren. In the blink of an eye,

his mind shook violently and was dragged into a strange space. Rays of silver light glittered from his

sharp eyes. He acquired a peculiar power from those plants, which made him feel amused but puzzled.

'This is strange. Why did I let out a roar of a dragon? I even fell into the Blood Dragon Phantom. Am I

thinking this right? So it probably meant that the blood came from the ancient dragon! This is amazing!'

Darren thought. Feeling pumped up for what he had discovered, Darren felt his heart quicken. Luck

was on his side again.

Grinning widely, he took a glance around the field of bloody red plants. He immediately plucked off an

abundance of those plants and assimilated them as fast as he could.

The more he assimilated, the more he realized what he thought was right. He felt as though he could

see a green dragon stretch across the starry sky. He could also hear the dragon keep on howling with NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

anger, dancing in the air. It emitted a tremendously intense aura that could turn the entire world upside

down.

"Ah! My body is changing!" Darren screamed, being startled.
