The spacious hall was filled with corpses; from their clothing one could tell they were people who had only just entered after the tomb was opened.
Around the corpses lay many humanoid monsters; they are called humanoid monsters because they are extremely ugly, their bloody appearance like people whose skin has been peeled off, utterly terrifying.
Moreover, their bodies emitted the aura of martial cultivators; the weakest among them were at Spirit Martial Sixth Stage, yet several had actually reached Spirit Martial Ninth Stage.
At this moment, these bizarre monsters were greedily devouring the flesh and blood on the corpses, even more ferocious and terrifying than fierce beasts.
Most importantly, there were hundreds of these monsters, nearly occupying every corner of the hall; to reach the other side of the hall, one would need a Yuan Wu Realm expert to arrive, otherwise even a Spirit Martial Ninth Stage master would face more danger than safety.
"They are blood corpses—there are so many blood corpses... this is simply too cruel!"
At that moment, Su Mei covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes wide open, filled with utter shock.
"Su Mei, do you know what these things are?"
Chu Feng felt equally shocked; using his mental power, he observed that aside from lacking skin, the monsters' bodies were almost identical to humans in every way, which largely indicates that these monsters were transformed by someone.
"There is a poison called blood poison, which is refined from thousands of kinds of toxic substances."
"If someone ingests this poison and does not receive an antidote, within half an hour they will be deprived of consciousness, becoming immortal undead killing tools like walking corpses, because after the transformation their skin peels off, leaving only bloody muscles, hence they are called blood corpses."
"Some people, to prevent their tombs from being robbed, make blood corpses with this poison and place them in their tombs; I never expected... I never imagined there would be so many blood corpses here—the owner of this tomb is truly too cruel."
After Su Mei finished speaking, everyone inhaled a cold breath; turning living people into such monsters is indeed a ruthless method.
"Then Su Mei, do you know what traits these creatures have?"
Chu Feng and the others stood outside the hall; the blood corpses could clearly see them yet did not attack, while the people inside the hall were obviously killed by the blood corpses, so Chu Feng reasoned that since the blood corpses are not complete humans, they must have some weakness.
"Blood corpses have no eyes, no consciousness, only a desire to kill; they rely on their sense of smell to distinguish food and kin, and any living creature that comes within their olfactory range, other than their own kind, will be mercilessly hunted." Su Mei said.
"You mean they use smell to tell friend from foe?" Chu Feng's eyes lit up.
"Yes," Su Mei nodded in agreement.
"If that is the case, I have a way to get past them." Chu Feng smiled.
"What method?" Upon hearing this, everyone became excited; the path ahead had seemed a dead end, but if Chu Feng really had a way to pass, then what awaited them would surely be a great treasure.
"Just an idea; whether it works or not still needs to be tested—wait here for me."
Having said that, Chu Feng stepped into the hall, regulating his breath and circulating his Mystic Art as he sprinted toward a Spirit Martial Sixth Stage blood corpse.
"Wuu ao"
