CHAPTER 1179: CHAPTER 1189: BLOOD CRYSTAL!

Jiang Shuiyao finally understood Tang Zhong’s idea, it must have been something only a genius could come up with.

By controlling others’ psychology and completely breaking them down, no wonder he said earlier to make those Hell Skeleton Soldiers experience fear, this is indeed fear.

Then Jiang Shuiyao looked at Tang Zhong: "How are you so powerful?"

She had transformed from the initial indifference to becoming more talkative and cheerful.

"Why don’t you come to our Fire Guard, don’t stay at the Earth Guard anymore."

"Hey, hey, hey, speak up, are you coming or not?" Jiang Shuiyao said.

However, Tang Zhong didn’t pay attention to her at all and directly started flying with his battle armor.

At this moment, the mist had also dissipated, and I have to say, this fog really saved them.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuiyao immediately followed behind Tang Zhong. She was still not convinced; no matter what, she must make this guy join their Fire Guard.

In the sky, the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers also found it truly amazing that the two of them actually forced such a large group to retreat. If words got out, probably no one would believe it.

"What on earth is this tactic, I’ve honestly never seen it before!" one of the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers said.

"This tactic is from Xuan Country, it’s called Tunnel Warfare. By occupying an advantageous terrain, no matter how many opponents there are, we can still win," Tang Zhong said.

At that moment, he realized that the people of the universe were just like that, some were not even half as smart as the people from Xuan Country.

"Wait a moment," one of the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers suddenly spoke.

"What’s happening?" Tang Zhong immediately stopped; surely the Flame Dragon Soldiers had discovered something.

"Head underground, I felt the presence of a treasure," one of the Flame Dragon Soldiers said.

Tang Zhong immediately headed for the ground.

Jiang Shuiyao was startled and wanted to ask why, but found that Tang Zhong had already moved far away. Without hesitation, she quickly followed.

By this time, they had come out of the rock garden area, and the ground was full of yellow sand, with whirlpools everywhere that could swallow a person if not careful. After all, this place was no longer suitable for the inhabitants of the universe.

The two landed, and Jiang Shuiyao looked around, her face slightly changed: "What are we doing here? This is quicksand, it can flow freely and quickly swallow a person. We should leave quickly."

Tang Zhong ignored Jiang Shuiyao, glanced around, and then asked the Flame Dragon Soldiers: "What’s going on here?"

"Don’t rush, let me take another look," one of the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers said. "Just now I sensed the presence of a treasure, why is it gone now? Move closer to that whirlpool and try?"

Tang Zhong walked forward without speaking, and instantly felt his blood seem to be drawn out, ready to burst from his body.

He quickly stepped back a few steps: "No, I can’t get closer, my blood is surging out."

"The whirlpool doesn’t attract your blood, unless there’s something else. Try attacking the whirlpool," one of the Flame Dragon Soldiers said.

"But it’s a whirlpool," Tang Zhong said.

"Trust me, just do it," the Flame Dragon Soldier said.

Tang Zhong gritted his teeth and followed the instruction, gathering all his power into his fist before fiercely striking the whirlpool of flowing sand on the ground.

Beside him, Jiang Shuiyao saw this scene and cried out, "What are you doing? That thing will pull you underground, and you’ll die."

However, Tang Zhong still brought his fist down, hitting the flowing sand, and something unimaginable happened—a red light gushed out from the strike as if blood was spraying, spreading around.

The previously yellow sand instantly turned red, completely dyed in blood within a ten-mile radius, and the flowing sand stopped moving, decreasing significantly.

"How could this be?" Jiang Shuiyao saw this, her eyes wide open.

Tang Zhong also widened his eyes in disbelief.

The large amount of flowing sand from earlier had disappeared.

"Haha, I get it now. It seems someone wanted to hide something, using quicksand to cover up the blood-soaked earth," one of the Flame Dragon Soldiers said.

"Blood-soaked earth is soil irrigated with blood, possessing powerful blood energy. A square meter of blood-soaked earth requires the killing of a hundred people to form, and there must be thousands of hectares here, probably over tens of thousands have been killed."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhong’s eyes scanned the surroundings. The earlier flowing sand was gone, replaced by a plain of blood-soaked earth.

It turned out that the earlier quicksand was a blinding technique.

"Someone intentionally hid it, so what they’ve done must be unspeakable. It’s likely from those Hell Skeleton Soldiers," one of the Flame Dragon Soldiers analyzed.

"It must be them; there must be something wrong with them hunting us two recruits," Tang Zhong said.

"They’re either cultivating some demon skills or plotting something. You should leave here quickly; this isn’t something you can handle," one of the Flame Dragon Soldiers advised.

Tang Zhong nodded.

Beside him, Jiang Shuiyao was also stunned, but soon clenched her fist: "This is blood-soaked earth. How could someone do such a thing?"

"Let’s leave here first and report this back," Tang Zhong suggested.

"Okay," Jiang Shuiyao also understood the gravity of the situation.

"Wait a minute."

Tang Zhong was about to leave when he heard the voice of one of the Flame Dragon Soldiers: "What’s happening?"

"There’s a strong blood energy under your feet, you’d better check it out," the Flame Dragon Soldier said.

Tang Zhong picked up his longsword, stabbed it into the ground, and peeled away the blood-soaked earth, discovering a red crystal stone, gleaming brightly.

"Quickly take this thing away. Don’t let anyone else find it," the Flame Dragon Soldier urged.

Hearing that, it must be something good; Tang Zhong didn’t think twice and hid it.

Jiang Shuiyao hadn’t noticed and realized Tang Zhong hadn’t moved only after she had gone far, so she quickly called out: "Hurry up, don’t get noticed."

Tang Zhong quickly responded, following behind while studying the blood-red crystal block.

"What is this thing!" Tang Zhong secretly studied it for a long time without understanding it.

"You’ve struck it rich; this is a Blood Crystal, a refined essence from blood-soaked earth, something that the creator of the blood-soaked earth needed, and now it’s yours," the Flame Dragon Soldier said excitedly.

"How should I use this?" Tang Zhong asked.

"The Blood Essence contains incredibly powerful blood power, perfect for your Giant Dragon Avatar to use. Try it when you have time," the Flame Dragon Soldier advised.

"Okay," Tang Zhong nodded heavily, feeling that he had gained a lot this time; he’d figure out the use of this Blood Essence after returning to the Galactic Guard, for now, he should head to the Gaudi Family.

Meanwhile, in the Gaudi Family’s square, a spaceship slowly descended, revealing Huang Xiang disembarking.
