"It feels a bit like a blood ritual here," Lady Elena said in a low voice.
The phenomenon of blood rituals is quite serious in this world. In fact, both Eastern and Western civilizations had quite severe occurrences of blood rituals during the medieval period. Sometimes armies would even kill a prisoner to raise a banner when setting out.
Su Ziyu reached out to touch the statue of the woman in front of him, but unfortunately, he gained nothing from it. It had existed for so long that no one had tended to it for at least a hundred years.
"It's eerie here," Nicole said cautiously. "Maybe we should leave."
There indeed was a very chilling coldness here.
The monsters that originally lurked here seemed to have been killed by them, and no other sounds were heard in the vicinity.
—"Spiritual Vision!"
Su Ziyu's expression showed some struggle and hesitation. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly activated Spiritual Vision and looked at the eerie statue before him.
In an instant!
His whole body went rigid on the spot, and what he saw in his vision was no longer the sewer but an endless sea of blood. The sky was oppressively overcast, and gales and storms raged around him.
Then, he saw a naked female figure floating in the sea of blood.
She glanced at him expressionlessly.
Ah!
Su Ziyu's scream startled the others, tears of blood unknowingly slipping down from the corners of his eyes. His expression was one of extreme pain, as he gasped and convulsed violently, only recovering slowly after about ten minutes.
"Su! What happened to you? Are you okay?" The female warlocks looked extremely worried as they spoke.
Su Ziyu raised his hand to stop them from approaching, and after a while, he stood up and said, "It's fine now. Let's go back."
Not to be looked at!
Su Ziyu didn't know who the naked woman was, but she looked exactly the same as the statue.
The ability of Spiritual Vision is very special, but sometimes it should not be used recklessly.
That one glance felt like someone had struck his head with a hammer.
The scene he saw then didn't seem like the ordinary world, because Su Ziyu saw no land, just an endless sea of blood—definitely not an image the normal world should have.
No more risking it.
If I foolishly look at another Evil God statue in the future, I'll be a dog.
Su Ziyu didn't find any valuable spoils here. Demon Hunters mostly deal with wretched creatures who aren't interested in collecting gold and jewels, so for them, the mission bounty is a very important source of income.
Few spoils.
However, the Source Power Value Su Ziyu gained was quite substantial. He got 3 points from the Bat Demon and 7 points from the Corrupted Blood Demon. His stored Source Power Value had now reached an astonishing 18 points, allowing him to think carefully about his enhancement direction once they returned.
The main enemy now is the High Tier Vampire, and Su Ziyu needs to specifically enhance his strength against them.
After hearing Su Ziyu say they'd return, the three wealthy sisters visibly relaxed.
This place was strange, and they were a bit scared.
Before leaving, Su Ziyu glanced at the large hole that resembled a well. Who knows where it led, but it could very likely be the residence of a High Tier Vampire.
It was quite quiet on their way back.
The female warlocks were somewhat exhausted after continuous intense battles, but the relationship between them had improved considerably, with Melissa occasionally smiling at them.
On the way, the group encountered a lone Ghoul.
Su Ziyu wasn't particularly interested in taking action at that moment, so he let Melissa deal with it.
It was already evening by the time they returned to the guild.
"You guys chat among yourselves. I need to take a bath," Nicole said, sniffing herself with a disgusted expression before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Hearing her words, the others also had various subtle expressions.
The three wealthy sisters ran the quickest, and Elena bid farewell graciously. Alice and Daisy also discreetly smelled themselves before leaving one after another.
"Alright." Su Ziyu also reeked, and he looked at Melissa, who had a somewhat awkward expression beside him, and said, "Go on, take a bath as well."
So the young girl dashed off, her steps much lighter.
The number of Elves in the guild seemed to have increased.
Su Ziyu saw a stoic-looking Elf Ranger, who nodded slightly at him in greeting.
"Fetch me a bucket of water," Su Ziyu said to a human servant nearby.
The smell was unbearable.
Su Ziyu took a thorough bath in his courtyard and had just put on his pants when Lady Inid appeared at the doorway.
This Elven female warlock looked at Su Ziyu's chest with curiosity, her expression somewhat nuanced, as if quite puzzled. Typically, Demon Hunters have numerous scars on their bodies; although they possess superhuman physiques, years of combat still leave many scars.
Lady Inid didn't see any scars on Su Ziyu's chest; his skin was fair as that of a woman, his muscles clearly defined, not bulky but possessing astonishing explosive power.
This was unusual for a Demon Hunter.
"Was today's mission successful?" Lady Inid asked with a smile as she approached.
"Not bad." Su Ziyu nodded and put on his outerwear, the Elven attire being slightly complex and difficult to wear.
