Chapter 38 Blood Sacrifice

A foul smell is beginning to descend!

Accompanied by the stench of decaying flesh, a huge, bloated creature, standing six meters tall, crawled out of the crack.

The Mother of Corpse Creepers.

A silver-tier creature, it created this group and commanded the ordinary corpse creepers to transform the land.

Corpse creepers do not have independent consciousness. Like most insects, the intelligence of this creature is a weakness, or can even be said to be absent altogether. If not for the command of the Mother of Corpse Creepers, they would roam the streets at will, relying solely on instinct to fight and prey.

Incredible.

The Mother of Corpse Creepers appears as a grotesque, bloated creature with wriggling maggots crawling in its eye sockets, with four pairs of insect limbs. Its abdomen occasionally releases small white eggs, and despite being enveloped in fat, its vicious, angry crimson eyes are still clearly visible.

A vast and terrifying aura enveloped the entire school!

In an instant...

All the insects and warriors stopped what they were doing and stared dumbfounded at the terrifying creature standing up and dripping corpse fluid.

"What's going on?"

"Where did this terrifying creature come from!"

"We're doomed, there's no chance of victory at all!"

At this moment, Feng Zhiyong, Zhou Xian, and many other warriors around them all gazed at the approaching Mother of Corpse Creepers, as though trying to etch this scene into their souls.

Even the giant corpse creepers that were still feeding stopped and turned their attention to the Mother of Corpse Creepers, even bowing their heads low and sprawling on the ground in great numbers.

They...

Completely lacked the courage to expose their bloodthirsty aura in the face of such a ferocious presence...

"Fermentation tank!"

Chen Feng stood on the side and clearly saw that beneath the Mother of Corpse Creepers was a sea of blood, with most of the school's corpses buried underneath. After several days of fermentation, these corpses had already decayed to the point where it was difficult to discern how many bodies were underneath, as a large part of them had already been eaten by the Mother of Corpse Creepers.

Some small figures were rolling around in the bodies.

Corpse Creeper larvae.

These insects did not have the ability to prey on their own and they clung to their mother, fully enjoying the readily available feast.

Chen Feng silently took a step back, his expression showing no emotion, but he was already prepared for battle.

Corpse Creepers.

A creature known for its rage and greed, it would kill any creature weaker than itself, burying them underground to ferment.

This was an inevitable battle of evil.

The commotion caused the Mother of Corpse Creepers underground to feel a deep sense of resentment and it swung its two-meter-long insect limbs, cutting down into the crowd.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion resounded in the original spot. Some slow-moving humans were instantly cut in half at the waist, and for a moment, the battlefield was filled with crimson blood plasma and shattered bones.

The giant corpse creepers immediately detected a strange scent, which they couldn't describe, but it reddened their eyes and caused their bodies to tremble.

Chaos, slaughter.

The Mother of Corpse Creepers sounded the horn of battle and communicated some information to the nearby insects, indicating that everyone present today would become the next round of food.

"Sss..."

Like a muffled thunderclap.

The Mother of Corpse Creepers completely emerged from the crack, striding forward, resembling a truck traveling at high speed, without any fancy moves, just a back-and-forth charge, and at least seven or eight people were killed by the impact.

The non-evolved corpse creepers also joined in, with a body length of only about one meter, but their speed was not slow. With a strong push, they pounced onto a man, and their sharp teeth instantly pierced his soft skin.

"Open fire!"

"Aim at these insects and open fire!"

Feng Zhiyong stepped forward. Though he was also feeling panic at this moment, he was clear that if they did not counterattack, there was a high chance that his troops would be completely annihilated.

A barrage of cursing erupted.

Many soldiers turned around, pressed the trigger, and blocked the attacks of these corpse creepers head on.

The defense of the non-bronze corpse creepers was not significant, and the bullets easily tore through their bodies, splattering blood. To avoid the bullets, they ran into the crowd, making children and the elderly the priority targets.

Hoarse roars echoed in the crowd.

Blood stained the ground and from up high, it looked as if a bloody rain had fallen, emitting a chilling atmosphere.

A giant corpse crab found Chen Feng, wriggling its insect limbs and its sinister insect eyes filled with greed. In the next moment, it leaped towards Chen Feng.

"Swish!"

An arrow pierced through the corpse crab's body, pinning it firmly to the ground.

There was a glint of killing intent in the dark elf's eyes. Other people's lives and deaths were of no concern to her. Her full attention was already focused on Chen Feng.

Chen Feng sniffed his nose.

The strong stench of blood made him feel nauseous.

"A silver-level creature, or even a matriarch controlling a group of insects. A head-on confrontation with the strength of the dark elf and the inferior demon, it is definitely not its match."

Chen Feng murmured to himself, but he did not make any attempt to flee.

Concern for others?

There's nothing shameful about doing whatever it takes to survive. He had no personal connection with these people. Even if he were to escape, he wouldn't feel any psychological burden.

The reason why Chen Feng chose to stay here was because...

It was suitable for a blood sacrifice.

Compared to other professionals, summoners had various ways to gain power. The most direct method was to appease powerful entities.

The Abyss.

A space where chaos and slaughter coexisted, almost all demons were evil souls or evil thoughts corrupted by the Abyss.

The way to appease the Abyss demons was simple: blood and death.

The dark elves had their own beliefs and could rely on slaughter and torment to appease the spider queen Lothira for power.

Unlike the dark elves, simple slaughter couldn't attract the attention of the evil gods. If he wanted to gain power, he needed a cruel ritual.

Blood sacrifice.

Thick blood plasma was the best way to attract the attention of the evil gods.

A formal blood sacrifice required the lives of over a hundred people to open. Few people could achieve this, and even if they did, they would be met with resistance and destruction from various forces once discovered.

No one likes a madman.

But now...

In just over ten minutes of battle, over a hundred people had died unexpectedly, a bronze-level corpse crab had perished, and dozens of corpse crab larvae had been killed by machine guns.

Furthermore...

There was a deep pit beneath this land, filled with countless resentful spirits. The school had long turned into a purgatory.

The materials for the blood sacrifice had been prepared.

The aura of death.

It was easy to attract the attention of evil spirits.

"However... although the blood here is abundant, there are too few bodies of strong individuals. Even if the sacrifice is successful with just the corpses of these ordinary people, it won't gain much power."

Chen Feng turned his gaze to the mother of the corpse crab.

Silver-level.

This was the best offering. With its blood, it would be enough to please the evil gods.

Wanting to lay a hand on silver-level strength with only bronze-level power would invite ridicule from others if they heard it. But...

"I still have an ace up my sleeve. Although the mother of the corpse crab is powerful, the demon-slaying spider is also no ordinary entity. The only thing to consider is... the contracted time of the demon-slaying spider is only five minutes..."

"Besides me, there are other professionals here..."

Chen Feng turned his head towards Zhou Xian, who was nearby, and a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Just a little while longer.

He needed Zhou Xian's help to extract some of the mother of the corpse crab's power.
