Apart from this, a less than half a chi wide, capable of supporting only two feet side by side, slender little road led into the unknown darkness, and this was also the one and only path leading away from the platform they stood on.
Looking face to face, Tang San and Hu Liena both couldn't help puckering their eyebrows.
A light flashed in Hu Liena's mind,
"I don't know what's below."
Tang San's heart twitched. Regarding the dangerous situation in front of, he inwardly wasn't actually particularly worried. Even though the little path in front was completely suspended in midair, relying on Blue Silver Grass, Flying God Claw, as well as Eight Spider Lances, he could easily guarantee that he wouldn't fall. Of course, that was under the premise that this little road didn't fracture. But Hu Liena's meaning was clearly to look for another way.
"I'll take a look."
Tang San crawled on the ground. He had no choice but to protect Hu Liena. Only sticking his head out over the edge of the platform, he looked down.
Below was pitch black and hazy, but that posed no problem for Tang San. Deep blue light spitting out of his eyes, the distance instantly pulled close.
Turning over and leaping up, Tang San's expression seemed somewhat monstrous.
"How is it? Can you see it?"
Hu Liena calmly asked.
Tang San nodded,
"There's blood down there. You might call it a blood reservoir. If I don't guess wrong, that blood reservoir below should be the stored blood of all the people killed through all the years of Slaughter City. That is, what they call Bloody Mary and the offering for this Hell Road."
Hu Liena appeared contemplative, and after a long time, said:
"By simpler analysis, this hell Road isn't just the way out of Slaughter City, but at the same time it should also be the heart of Slaughter City."
Just as she said this, she clearly discovered Tang San's eyes brightening across from her, and the two people said in practically the same mouth:
"Or perhaps it might be called the source of that mysterious Slaughter City domain's energy."
Discovering the other side said exactly the same thing as her, Hu Liena blushed, turning her head. Tang San appeared somewhat embarrassed. At the same time he couldn't help being secretly startled. This Hu Liena really was astute, worthy of being the Supreme Pontiff's direct disciple. Hu Liena's display also made him feel happy that he chose to cooperate. Having such an astute partner was clearly a good thing in terms of breaking through the Hell Road.
Hu Liena naturally didn't know what Tang San thought, and continued her analysis.
"Tang Yin, haven't you noticed that blood is what's most important in Slaughter City? What's called Bloody Mary seems to appear here. Just like you said, there's slow poison in the blood here, but it can cause a certain stimulating effect. There are very many ways to control people, why does Slaughter City's ruler always use blood? Just to give people a more mysterious impression? I think not, there's definitely some secret to this."
Tang San nodded, saying:
"My way of thinking is the same as yours. Even though we don't know the true secret of this blood within Slaughter City now, we can be sure that if the source of the blood was lost, it would be an enormous blow to Slaughter City. Even so much that it might be devastating. I believe this kind of place should already have been extinguished long ago, but your Spirit Hall unfortunately takes a laissez faire attitude, don't tell me it's really in order to take in some criminals?"
Hu Liena's expression changed, indifferently saying:
"These matters aren't under my control. I know your Clear Sky School has a very high opinion of our Spirit Hall, but right now we should still first settle the problem in front of us."
Nodding softly, Tang San looked at the distant darkness,
"This narrow road should be the so called Hell Road. I don't know how long it is, but I can be sure that the Hell Road wouldn't be so simple as just walking away. There's a very large blood reservoir below, and it's very possible there are some ferocious beasts or toxins within it. Going below wouldn't be desirable. Our best way from here is still up top."
Hu Liena nodded, saying:
"The medicine you gave me last time was very effective. Don't you have any medicaments that can prevent toxins? Climbing down below there we can at least have a sense of ground under our feet. This narrow road gives me a sense of danger."
Tang San shook his head, saying:
"The world has poisons in all sorts of fantastic varieties, there are no medicines that can resist all poison. I feel the same as you, this Hell Road really is dangerous. But, the feeling I get from down below is even more dangerous. I think it would still be better to unify our thoughts before starting out."
Hu Liena didn't hesitate a moment to say:
"I'll listen to you. I only want to raise one proposal. Since we don't have any method to defy poison, walking above is clearly our only choice. This is perhaps also the only choice accorded anyone who passed this Hell Road before. Unfortunately, we don't have any information relating to this. Before coming, that Deathgod I know told me something. There are situations of all sorts in the Hell Road. Our experience would certainly be a bit different from hers. Rather than telling us the concrete situation inside, we're better off having to do things slowly. Like this we will instead be even more cautious."
Tang San inwardly thought that perhaps this was also the reason his father didn't tell him everything about the Hell Road. The road was always one's own to walk.
Right now, the quality of the pair's solid willpower was revealed. To an ordinary person, coming to a strange place brimming with terror, all would be eager to leave at once. But Tang San and Hu Liena didn't do so. The two sat down on the platform, calming their hearts and breath, harmonizing their breath. They didn't know what crisis they were about to confront, so maintaining their peak condition was their best choice right now.
The pair spent a full two hours in cultivation. Within this Hell Road, their spirit power was still suppressed as if by an indescribable force, and they could only rely on the same self defense methods as in Slaughter City.
Opening their eyes with practically no difference in who was first or last, they stood at the same time. Hu Liena undid her belt, swiftly shedding her outer clothing, exposing the underwear inside.
Her undergarments were pink, the upper part a small pink sleeveless top, only the most important places covered. Below she had a just thigh length pair of pink hot pants.
Shedding her outer clothing like this revealed the secret of her body. Ordinarily entirely wrapped up in black clothing, Hu Liena's body was hidden very well. Besides her tall stature, nothing else would be seen. But at this moment, her secrets were completely revealed in front of Tang San.
Hu Liena was about the same height as Xiao Wu, her fair skin set off by the dark surroundings, even more adding some charm. Her skin was so glossy and exquisite it even somewhat reflected the light. Two slender and perfectly straight thighs braced, revealing a gentle curve.
Her slender waist was bare, forming an astonishing arc with her plump butt, on her upper body the moderately sized bust under the cloth exposing a two small protrusions. No flaw could be found on her body.
Hu Liena's motions when removing her clothes seemed very natural, throwing her clothes to the ground, afterwards combing together her long hair, her whole body seemed taut and nimble. Afterwards she began to tear up her discarded clothes.
Looking at Hu Liena, a warm flow couldn't be stopped in Tang San's lower abdomen. Hu Liena's spirit was a Bewitching Fox, in itself extremely good at charm. And even though she didn't fully use her abilities on Tang San right now, that perfect delicate body of hers was the best medium for charm. Despite Tang San knowing why she did what she did, for a moment, he was still somewhat dumbfounded. After all, this was the first time since he was born that he saw a young woman's body like this.
Hu Liena might appear very natural on the surface, but in her heart she was actually still desperately nervous. Even though she was widely known for her charm abilities, she was in fact extremely pure. The Golden Generation's Yan had already pursued her for a very long time, but she didn't even agree to touch Yan's hand. If the one she was cooperating with wasn't Tang San, but was exchanged for someone else, she wouldn't agree to let her body be seen like this even if she died.
"What are you still distracted by, still not taking of your clothes."
Hu Liena said at Tang San. She kept her tone as calm as possible, covering up the embarrassment in her heart.
Tang San shook his head, saying:
"No need, one set of clothes is enough, the distance between us can't be too far."
Hu Liena glared angrily at him, in her heart thinking, 'If there was enough clothes, why didn't you take them off?' Only, in her heart she was still very comfortable; astute people being together could save on a lot of needless exchanges. She undressed on her side, and Tang San understood her intention.
Just what is called, 'do not fear a god-like opponent, fear a pig-like teammate.' Clearly, through a short time of contact, both sides had ascertained that the other party was no pig. As for the gods or ghosts they may meet in the Hell Road, they could only walk and see step by step.
Tang San naturally saw the meaning in Hu Liena's expression, and shrugged helplessly,
"You're the one who moved too fast."
Looking down at the clothing already torn to strips under her hands, Hu Liena had a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. It seemed that her covering up was still insufficient. Having stripped too fast, now there wasn't enough time to regret it.
