At the entrance of the ruins lay a Bone Beast over ten meters long, its bleak white bones straddling the gateway like a potent guardian.
Shen Tang was secretly alarmed in her heart, what a magnificent scene!
Yellow sand filled the sky, and the giant beast’s remains stood proudly.
She was standing in front of this giant beast’s skull; its massive cranium was larger than her entire body. The two dark hollow eye sockets were like deep caverns, even to the extent that she could crawl into them.
Suddenly, two red lights abruptly flared up in those hollow eye sockets, as if sensing an intruder, and the gigantic skeletal frame began to tremble, raising a swirling storm of sand.
Shen Tang was so startled she took several steps back.
Necro stepped forward to shield her, raised his hand to gently stroke the giant beast’s skull, and said in a low voice, "It’s me, stand down."
The red light in the Bone Beast’s eyes gradually dimmed, and the giant skeleton about to revive lay back down to sleep, as if everything just now was merely an illusion.
Necro turned to look at the still-shaken young female and explained, "This was a pet I used to have. I liked it very much. After it died, I infused my own blood into its bones to create this undead bone frame to guard this forbidden area against intruders."
Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat, the Blood Clan’s blood is indeed defying the heavens!
The Living Corpse Army may have a short lifespan, but the bones can remain uncorrupted for thousands of years! Luckily, creating such a Bone Beast must come at a higher cost than the living corpses; otherwise, if there were truly a Living Corpse Army, the Imperial Army would have no way to fight against it.
Necro walked to the front of the door.
The door was engraved with mysterious runes.
His right-hand fingertips suddenly became long and sharp, without hesitation, he cut open the palm of his left hand, fresh blood gushing out, and instantly filled the air with a peculiar and enchanting aroma of blood.
He pressed his bleeding palm against the door, and the surging blood quickly filled the patterns. The entire door glowed with a dark red light, then with a "crack," the door swung open.
Inside the door, came the howling wind, like the low roar of a giant beast, yet resembling ancient chanting, carrying with it a heavy warning to the intruder.
Shen Tang’s heartbeat quickened, her biological instincts filled her with fear.
But she did not retreat. After calming herself, she quickly stepped forward and took Necro’s hand, healing the wound on his palm.
Necro felt more satisfied, holding her hand as they walked into the ruined palace.
Shen Tang roughly guessed that this should be the palace where the Blood Clan lived before their extinction.
Perhaps because the Blood Clan disliked sunlight, this vast ruined palace had not a single window, it was pitch-black, abandoned for hundreds of years, and the air was permeated with a damp earthy smell.
Necro led Shen Tang straight ahead, and after an unknown amount of time, he triggered a certain mechanism, leading her into a concealed tunnel.
Passing through the long passageway, Shen Tang smelled a moist, sticky odor like that of blood, coupled with the sound of rushing water in her ears.
Soon after, there was finally light ahead, but it wasn’t coming from outside; rather, specks of scarlet luminescence floated in the air, faintly illuminating the surroundings.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Tang discovered they were countless floating blood beads, of varying sizes, emitting a faint glow.
