Chapter 3105: Guarding the Blue Stone Bridge, Bloody Legion

A wave of blood surged skyward, instantly filling the entire view. The space barrier was covered in bloody red.

If not for the space barrier, this blood would have splattered all over the ground.

At this time, the space barrier began to glow, countless runes appearing on it. The runes were dense and each one was obscure and difficult to understand.

"These are prehistoric runes!"

Lin Moyu was inwardly surprised. Although he couldn't immediately understand the prehistoric runes, he could tell they were unusual.

The runes covered the space barrier, purifying all the blood on it.

The entire space barrier radiated intense light, blocking Lin Moyu's view.

Lin Moyu could no longer see clearly what was happening inside the space barrier, but he vaguely heard roars and sounds of battle.

A moment later, everything returned to calm.

The runes on the space barrier disappeared, and there were no more bloodstains.

Lin Moyu said softly, "Sure enough, I was right not to break the space barrier. This space barrier exists to prevent certain things from rushing up from the crack below."

"That bridge..."

On the bridge, soldiers were still guarding, but fewer than before.

Previously there were a hundred soldiers, but now only about half remained.

Then under Lin Moyu's gaze, soldiers walked over from the other end of the bridge.

The newly arrived soldiers first went to the leader in the center of the bridge, as if reporting for duty.

After reporting, the soldiers took up new positions at the bridge head, replacing the previous soldiers in guarding the bridge.

Lin Moyu knew the bridge must have just experienced a battle, with things from the bottom of the crack coming up to fight the army on the bridge.

The army had repelled them but paid a price, with nearly half casualties.

However, reinforcements quickly arrived, rapidly replenishing the lost personnel.

People kept coming to report, and in just a few minutes, the numbers were restored.

This army would continue to guard the stone bridge, waiting for monsters from the crack to appear again for another battle.

Lin Moyu sorted out his thoughts and muttered to himself, "Who knows how many years such battles have continued."

"Just don't know the identities of the two sides in battle."

"But the body shape of this army is somewhat similar to humans."

Lin Moyu walked forward, getting closer and closer to the stone bridge.

In front of the stone bridge, he saw a vortex identical to the secret realm vortexes.

Lin Moyu frowned, "Why is there a secret realm entrance here?"

He didn't enter the secret realm but first searched around, confirming there was no normal way to directly reach the stone bridge.

Finally Lin Moyu determined that to enter the stone bridge, he must go through the secret realm.

"A secret realm entrance isn't necessarily a secret realm; it could also be a portal."

"Let's go in and try!"

Lin Moyu came before the secret realm, his soul communicating with the vortex.

The vortex's rotation speed immediately increased slightly, and Lin Moyu received a message:

[Participate in the task of guarding the Blue Stone Bridge. Assist the army in defending the Blue Stone Bridge. After completion, you can pass through the Blue Stone Bridge.]

The vortex gave Lin Moyu a choice. If he wanted to enter, he needed to participate in the task within.

Only after completing the task could he pass through the Blue Stone Bridge and enter the mid-level area.

Otherwise he would have to find another passage.

"Perfect, I also want to know what kind of battle this is."

"The Bloody Legion sounds quite formidable. Might as well see it for myself!"

Lin Moyu made his decision, choosing to agree to participate in the task.

The vortex produced a suction force, pulling Lin Moyu in.

The scene before his eyes changed from blurry to clear. Lin Moyu found himself on the stone bridge.

Beside him was a stone tablet inscribed with three large characters: Blue Stone Bridge.

These three characters were majestic, clearly carved by a powerful being.

Lin Moyu sensed a powerful aura from the stone tablet. This was not just a stone tablet, but also a formation eye.

With the stone tablet as the formation eye, the formation spread across the entire Blue Stone Bridge.

The Blue Stone Bridge before him was far from what he had seen through the space barrier.

The Blue Stone Bridge before him was over a hundred meters wide and thousands of meters long.

It was full of soldiers, far more than a hundred.

On both sides of the Blue Stone Bridge, a soldier stood every two meters. Just the soldiers guarding the bridge numbered in the thousands.

Add to that the large number of soldiers patrolling the Blue Stone Bridge, and the total number of soldiers on the bridge exceeded ten thousand.

The soldiers wore uniform armor and carried uniform weapons - long spears that were third-level Dao Venerable treasures.

Each soldier's cultivation was at third-level Dao Venerable. If ten thousand soldiers formed a battle array, they would have the ability to match a fourth-level Dao Venerable powerhouse, and could even contend with a fifth-level Dao Venerable.

In the center of the bridge stood an officer.

The officer's cultivation was two levels higher than the soldiers, reaching fifth-level Dao Venerable.

Just looking at this, Lin Moyu knew this army was of extremely high quality and combat power.

Unfortunately, they had all died in battle. What remained now were only their supreme battle intent and obsessions.

At this time someone came over, handing Lin Moyu a long spear and a set of armor.

Although nothing was said, Lin Moyu knew what he needed to do.

Putting on the armor and taking up the long spear, Lin Moyu stepped onto the Blue Stone Bridge, walking to the front.

He imitated the other soldiers, giving a military salute to the officer.

The officer said nothing, just pointing to a direction at the edge of the bridge.

There was just an empty spot there; he indicated for Lin Moyu to guard that position.

Lin Moyu also said nothing, turning to walk to the empty position.

The Blue Stone Bridge was silent, with only the faint sound of armor rubbing as patrolling soldiers moved about.

Lin Moyu stood on the Blue Stone Bridge, looking down at the crack below.

The crack was shrouded in black mist, the bottom not visible.

However, here the sound of waves was very clear, and the bloody smell was extremely thick. Lin Moyu was 90% certain there was a vast river of blood at the bottom of the crack.

About half an hour later, the Blue Stone Bridge suddenly began to shake. Countless runes lit up on the bridge as the formation roared into operation.

Then, runes also lit up in the space above, on all four sides.

An intense bloody smell rose from the bottom of the crack. The bloody smell carried a stench a hundred times stronger than what Lin Moyu had smelled before.

This stench assaulted the soul. If one's soul wasn't at Dao Venerable level, just this stench would be enough to injure the soul.

Moreover, the stinking bloody smell carried a terrifying special power that corroded the soul.

Then the sound of waves grew louder and louder, eventually like thunder.

"They're coming!"

As soon as the thought arose in Lin Moyu's mind, his gaze suddenly focused.

A wave of blood surged skyward from under the bridge, crashing heavily onto the bridge.

The Blue Stone Bridge shook continuously under the impact of the blood wave. The formation on the bridge kept operating, constantly purifying the blood wave.

The bloody red water, tinged with black, tried to corrode the Blue Stone Bridge but was blocked by the formation.

Large amounts of blood waves crashed against the surrounding space barriers and the formation in the sky, similarly blocked.

The blood waves in the air turned back, forming a giant hand slamming down.

At this time, the officer on the bridge drew his battle blade, pointing at the blood hand.

The Blue Stone Bridge hummed, radiating golden light that shattered the blood hand.

The blood hand broke into countless blood clots falling down. From each clot burst out a monster covered in blood.

They were beast-like, with heads like rats, sharp mouths, and sharp blades on their front claws and backs, looking very strange.

"Kill!"

The officer issued the first and only order!
