This was a strange, desolate wasteland.
There were even some demon beasts at the top of the food chain whose origins
What were the ancestors who had created this space and raised these beasts truly after?
Nie Li had a faint feeling that a huge secret was hidden here. He carefully put away the remnant pages of the Book of Time-Space Demon Spirit and looked at
The group set off. Although the lights seemed close in the darkness, they were actually incredibly far away.
Nie Li and
"Ning'er, I... about what just happened, I'm sorry. It was an urgent situation..." Nie Li said with a hint of apology.
"I understand." A flicker of sorrow passed through Xiao Ning'er's eyes. Her heart felt sour. Why are you apologizing? If not for hearing Nie Li's apology, she would still have been immersed in her own joy. Even though she knew his heart belonged to another, she wasn't willing to give up, not even if it killed her.
Nie Li sighed deeply. Beauty's favor was the hardest thing to bear. He felt a sense of melancholy. In his past life, he still owed Ziyun a debt of love; in this one, he was now in debt to Ning'er.
Perhaps that was just how mortal affairs were, especially when it came to feelings—something completely beyond control.
The debt he owed Xiao Ning'er... could only be repaid in the next life.
Nie Li gazed at the surrounding wilderness. Ever since arriving here, they had been constantly hunted and had nearly met disaster. It was too passive. If this continued, there was no telling what danger they might encounter next. Moreover, across the wasteland, red ghosts appeared from time to time. If they ran into more red ghosts, it would mean another brutal fight.
He had to think of something!
Nie Li suddenly remembered something. It was called the Blood Burst Technique. By filling a bottle with fresh demon beast blood and inscribing a runic pattern on its surface, one could create a Blood Burst Demon Bottle. Thrown, it would instantly detonate, affecting a huge area. This item was only effective against demon beasts below the Gold level, but its destructive power was immense.
"I almost forgot about this!" Nie Li stopped in his tracks, slapping his forehead.
Hearing this, everyone turned back, looking at Nie Li with confusion. "What thing?"
"Du Ze, Lu Piao, your Space Rings must still have plenty of crystal bottles for storing magic potions, right?" Nie Li asked, looking at the two.
"Of course. These are standard supplies," Du Ze nodded.
"Go catch some red ghosts and fill the potion bottles with their blood."
"What do you need that for?"
"I have my uses!" Nie Li said with a mysterious smile.
"Alright, we'll go get some right now!" Du Ze and Lu Piao nodded. They leaped into the air, swiftly setting off to find isolated red ghosts.
Moments later, Du Ze and Lu Piao returned with dozens of bottles. Nie Li took the bottles from their hands, dipped a little red ghost blood, and began continuously inscribing runic patterns on the bottle's surface. One after another, the patterns quickly took shape.
"Done. Everyone takes three bottles, the rest go to Du Ze and Lu Piao," Nie Li said. "When you have time, keep collecting some red ghost blood as a reserve."
"How do you use this thing?" Lu Piao picked up a bottle, examined it, and asked with curiosity.
"I'll show you in a moment. Remember, be careful. If you drop it, not even a god could save you." Nie Li said with a slight smile.
Lu Piao jumped. This thing was that terrifying? His hand slipped, and the bottle containing the red ghost blood fell towards the ground.
"Oh my god!" Lu Piao's reflexes kicked in and he snatched it back just in time, his face drained of color.
Everyone looked at Lu Piao with odd expressions. He gave an embarrassed laugh. "Sorry about that! My hand slipped!"
Nie Li and the others pressed deeper into the wasteland. Before long, many red ghosts gathered once more—several hundred of them, and their numbers were only growing.
"These guys still dare to come," Du Ze said, his expression slightly grave.
"This wasteland is their hunting ground. Our activity here lets them scent our presence, and more and more gather!" Nie Li explained. He then suddenly threw one of the red ghost blood bottles directly into the densest cluster of red ghosts.
The bottle flew through the air in a straight line.
The red ghosts scattered and jumped around.
One of them leaped up, trying to catch the bottle, but Nie Li's throw was too powerful. The bottle, with the red ghost clinging to it, hurtled toward the ground.
