Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2049 Blood Pool

With a click, the chain fell to the ground with a clatter, and the door opened.

Chu Yan became nervous, coughed, and reached out tremblingly to push the door, but his outstretched front foot trembled, and then retreated.

The young boy put the lantern on the ground, took a step back, and bowed to the iron gate that was half hidden in front of him.

"The boy didn't intend to disturb, so he left after leaving his things."

He swallowed again, and said respectfully.

"Also please... Senior, don't blame me."

He had seen many captured divine beasts in the underground colosseum of the Chanyuan, but looking at the battles along the way, he always felt that there was probably more than just a divine beast imprisoned here.

Most likely...a real "god".

Thinking of the rumors he had heard about the disappearance of the Azure Dragon God and the injury of the Suzaku God, Chu Yan suddenly became more nervous.

What did the Zen master get and lock inside?
If one is not handled well today, his little life may really be accounted for in it.

After completing a whole set of etiquette, Chu Yan straightened up, lifted the lantern on the ground with trembling hands, and mobilized the true essence of his whole body to the extreme.

With a creak, he pushed open the iron door cruelly, and stepped in.

Click, just after the other person entered, the iron door behind him closed immediately, only to hear the rattling outside, and the iron chain was automatically wound around it.

"Wait……"

Chu Yan turned around and looked at the tightly-fitted door in horror.

"I... Master Zen?"

Could it be that the master of the monastery didn't ask him to do business at all, but asked him to come here as a sacrifice to this evil god?

Fear swept his whole body, and Chu Yan was paralyzed. He didn't even have the strength to rush to the door and beat on the door leaf.

The surrounding heat was like a steamer, the lantern fell from his hands weakly, and fell to the side, the lights gradually went out, and the whole dark room was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

Tick, tick.

Chu Yan sat alone in the dark for an unknown how long, only the sound of water drops falling in his ears.

He didn't know whether it was water seeping from the cracks in the rock, or his teardrops.

Accompanied by a ticking sound, his rationality, which had been dispersed due to extreme panic, gradually returned, and his vision became clearer.

Although this dark room is oppressive and stuffy like Abi Hell, but so far, nothing happened after he entered.

There was no flame to burn him into charcoal, nor was there any ferocious beast with green face and fangs to pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

It was so quiet all around, not even the breathing of a living creature.

"What is this..."

With some strength recovered from his limbs, Chu Yan struggled to get up from the ground. He fumbled to pick up the lantern on the ground, and relit it with the sword fire.

A faint light illuminated a place three feet away from his feet.

Chu Yan held the lantern and looked at the place he was in.

He came in too quickly, and he didn't even have time to take a closer look. Looking at the dark room in front of him, his heart sank slowly.

First of all, there is no doubt that this is a prison cell.

This is a dark room about ten feet square, not a naturally formed cave.The ground was paved with moss-covered green bricks, and chains were hung on the walls and ceiling, and countless bloodstains could be faintly seen on the chains.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the entire room.

Except for these chains, the entire cell was empty and there was nothing.

The huge beast that he had imagined in his mind was nowhere to be seen.

Because the light of the lantern was limited, the back of the cell could not be illuminated, and a shadow could be vaguely seen. Chu Yan lifted the lantern with trembling hands, and shone in front.

There is a hole as tall as a person, and the back of the hole is dark, leading to other places.

Chu Yan's heart beat violently.

This hole looked like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast. He was terrified, but he still moved his stiff legs and forced himself to walk towards the hole.

He has no choice, he can't sit here and wait for death.

At this time, there was only a snap, and a crisp sound came from behind him.

Chu Yan's scalp exploded, and he turned around suddenly, only to find that a piece of firewood in the basket on his back had fallen to the ground.

By the way, firewood.

Chu Yan stared blankly at the firewood on the ground, feeling a doubt in his heart.

If the master of the monastery really just wanted to trick him into the ground as a sacrifice, why did he ask him to carry a basket of firewood?
The National People's Congress can find other reasons to prevaricate, there is no need to find such an inexplicable reason.

unless……

He was really asked to come here to deliver firewood.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and his feet gained strength.

He collected himself and walked into the black hole step by step.

A thick bloody smell rushed over.

Chu Yan was a little dizzy for a while, but the next moment he was surprised to find that although the bloody smell here was strong, it didn't smell bad at all.

It stands to reason that in such a hot and humid place, the smell should be quite foul.But the strange thing is, apart from the smell of blood, there is no peculiar smell in the air here, and there is even a faint pleasant smell mixed with the smell of blood.

Chu Yan raised the lantern in his hand to light the way ahead.

He opened his eyes slightly.

Different from the prison cell outside, this one is a naturally formed cave, about twice the size of the dark room outside, in a semicircle shape, and it seems to lead to somewhere behind, but it is blocked by a huge rock.

In front of the boulder is a circular pool of blood.

Or quagmire is more accurate.

Chu Yan swallowed, took a step back in fright, and looked nervously at the pool covered in black mud in front of him.

He knew that these black muds were the deepest darkness in the monastery, and if he encountered any of them, without the antidote from the Zen master, he would surely die.

It was the first time he saw so much black mud. If he guessed correctly, besides the black mud, there should be a lot of blood of divine beasts mixed in this pool.

This can also explain why this place doesn't stink. He is a frequent visitor to the Colosseum and knows that the blood of many divine beasts has fragrance.

Soaked in black mud and the blood of beasts...

What is in this pool?
Chu Yan was so nervous that he didn't dare to take a step closer.

But at the next moment, he suddenly discovered that this quagmire was extremely quiet, not to mention what was hidden underneath, the whole pool of black mud was flat, and not even a single bubble was seen floating up.

In his impression, the black mud that was always churning wildly was extremely quiet in this pool, just like the ordinary mud that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is anything hidden in this pool.

"This……"

Chu Yan blinked, when a bunch of things caught his attention.

At the side of the pool near his feet, there was a pile of firewood that was about to burn out, and the shape of the original firewood could still be seen in the ashes. At this time, there were only a few sparks left in the whole pile of fire.

"Go get some firewood."

"As for where to use it, you will understand after you go in."

Master Chan's words rang in his ears, and Chu Yan stared blankly at the pile of ashes.

He did know where to put the firewood, but what was burning the firewood?
Could it be this pool?
　Chu Yan:?
