The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2538 The target is actually there

Deep in the bloody forest, Lin Dong adjusted his breathing and stood up.

He stood tall and straight under the blood-red moonlight, his body surrounded by the lingering internal energy fluctuations, appearing both aloof and resolute.

His eyes were fixed on the huge and twisted figure not far away - the corpse of the four-star demon king-level blood beast "Soul-devouring Demonic Dragon".

At this moment, it is no longer making any sound.

The dark red scales covering its body became dull and lifeless, its eyes were wide open, and its death was not peaceful at all.

Not long after it died, suddenly, a dazzling "blood soul" flew out from the broken body of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Dragon.

It was like a long and thin river of blood, swirling and twisting in the air, emitting an alluring light, and seemed to contain some incredible power.

Lin Dong's eyes focused. He could feel the purity and power contained in this force. For him who was cultivating his spiritual power, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

He turned his head and looked to the side, only to see the woman who always maintained a mysterious veil, standing there quietly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but without any movement.

"Who does this thing belong to?" Lin Dong's voice was calm and firm. He knew that such a treasure was enough to arouse anyone's greed.

The mysterious woman smiled slightly. That smile seemed to contain thousands of words, but in the end it only turned into a few words:

"Since you have obtained it, it is your destiny. Although I have dabbled in spiritual power, this item is obviously more suitable for you."

Lin Dong felt relieved when he heard this.

It seems that this mysterious woman is not the kind of person who wants to monopolize everything.

He did not take all the benefits for himself by relying on his own strength.

He no longer hesitated, and moved, instantly arriving in front of the blood soul. He slowly opened his hands, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to guide the power into his own spiritual sea.

As the blood soul slowly merged, Lin Dong felt an unprecedented warmth and power rising from the depths of his spiritual sea, as if countless tiny points of light exploded in his mind, and each ray of light represented an inheritance of knowledge and power.

His mental strength grew wildly at this moment, jumping from the original early thirty-fifth level to the thirty-fifth and a half level, and even had a tendency to break through to a higher level.

When everything returned to calm, Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, with an unprecedented light flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, feeling the power surging in his body, and felt happy in his heart.

"How is it? How much breakthrough have you made?" The mysterious woman asked Lin Dong with a smile as she walked towards the four-star demon king Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon.

Lin Dong replied honestly: "From level 35, it has been upgraded to level 35 and a half."

"Not bad." The mysterious woman obviously knew that it was not easy to improve mental strength. When she heard that Lin Dong had improved half a level, she nodded approvingly.

"Thank you." Lin Dong said softly. Although these two words were simple, they contained all his sincere gratitude.

The mysterious woman just smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? You were the one who killed this four-star demon king-level blood beast. Of course, the spoils also belong to you."

When he spoke, there seemed to be thousands of words flowing in those deep eyes.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

"You are so determined to kill this Soul Devouring Demonic Dragon. Didn't you say you wanted to get something? What is that thing?"

After a while, Lin Dong said to the mysterious woman in confusion.

At this time, the mysterious woman had already turned and walked towards the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Dragon.

Although it was dead, its head still looked hideous.

A sharp dagger appeared in her hand. Seeing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but he didn't stop her, just watched her movements quietly.

The mysterious woman's technique was very skillful and each cut was extremely accurate, as if she already knew the structure of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Dragon's head.

As the dagger penetrated deeper, a stronger smell of blood wafted into the nose, but amidst the blood, there was a hint of something unusual.

Finally, after a slight cracking sound, the Soul-Devouring Demonic Dragon's head was slowly cut open, revealing an object wrapped in layers of blood-colored film.

The object emitted a soft and mysterious light, appearing particularly dazzling in the dim environment.

But at this moment, there is a layer of rune formation lingering on it.

At this moment, the mysterious woman reached out a hand, muttered something, and radiated a bright light.

She seemed to be deciphering the rune formation that sealed the key.

"break!"

Less than an incense stick of time passed, and with the mysterious woman's gentle cry, the rune formation on the key's surface disappeared.

The rune formation was broken by the mysterious woman.

The ball of light emitting light slowly floated out from the head of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Dragon.

At this moment, Lin Dong took a closer look and found that it was actually an extremely delicate key with complex runes carved on it, as if it contained the power to unlock a secret.

The mysterious woman carefully took out the key, gently blew away the blood on it, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

She turned to face Lin Dong, put the key in her arms, and said with a tone of unquestionable firmness:

"Okay, we've got the stuff. This key is crucial to our goal. Without it, we will never reach the final destination. Of course, with it, we can only get there. As for the final outcome, no one can tell."

When Lin Dong heard this, although he had many questions in his mind, looking at the unquestionable look in the mysterious woman's eyes, he chose to remain silent.

He knew that this woman held many secrets, and what she was pursuing was by no means simple power or treasure.

Now that she has decided on the direction, I can only follow. Perhaps in the near future, all the mysteries will be revealed.

"So where are we going next?" Lin Dong asked, his tone filled with both anticipation and a hint of uneasiness.

After all, this mysterious woman is much stronger than him, but she still looks so serious. It is conceivable that the place she is going to next must be extremely dangerous.

Lin Dong's limit is to kill a four-star demon king. If the place he wants to go to has a five-star demon king, or a more powerful one.

For Lin Dong, that kind of place would undoubtedly be a life-or-death situation.

"Are you curious about where we are going?"

The mysterious woman took the initiative to speak and smiled, and that smile seemed to hold the secret of the whole world.

Without waiting for Lin Dong to speak, she continued:
"A place that can bring us closer to the truth. But before that, we need to make some preparations. Let's go, time is running out."

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked deeper into the bloody forbidden area.

Lin Dong followed closely behind, secretly thinking about the journey ahead.

The two of them set out on a journey to an unknown territory, one in front and one behind. The bloody moonlight stretched their shadows long, the only shadows that could be seen in this area.

"Could this direction be..." Lin Dong discovered that the direction the mysterious woman was taking him to was actually the direction of the bloody gate that he had left before.

Could it be that the mysterious woman's destination is there?
