Kang Shin-mu and Xi Yuying headed into Laoshan City and began to search the city.
They wanted to find the reason why the Scarlet Demonwolves had attacked Kindling Mountain City. As for the source of the Scarlet Demonwolves, that wasn't something they could capture, because outside of Kindling Mountain City, there were already Scarlet Demonwolves as far as the eye could see, and many of them were at the Sky Yao level.
Even with Kang Shin-mu's current strength, he could only flee in front of these scarlet wolves.
Even in a one-on-one fight, Kang Shin-mu might not necessarily be a match for some Sky Fey, not to mention that there were simply too many of them. It was not an exaggeration to say that there was an ocean of them.
If not for the existence of the Dragon Seal Formation, all the living creatures in Laoshan City would have been slaughtered in a short time.
Kang Shin-mu led Xi Yuying around Laoshan City.
Of course, in Xi Yuying's view, they did not have a goal. It was very unlikely that they would find the source of the scarlet wolves' attack.
However, Kang Shin-mu only took action because he had a certain degree of confidence. The black dragon's consciousness in his body seemed to show signs of awakening from the moment he entered the city. Furthermore, it had reached an even stronger level when the scarlet wolves attacked.
At this time, Kang Shin-mu followed the black dragon's subtle guidance and headed in a certain direction in the city.
Before long, he arrived at a rather remote corner of Laoshan City. It was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, as if no one had lived here for a long time. The ground was covered in dust, and tiles and rubble could be seen everywhere.
A dilapidated courtyard like this would normally not attract anyone's attention.
But now, Kang Shin-mu had brought Xi Yuying to this dilapidated courtyard. He stared at it for a moment, his eyes filled with suspicion.
"The black dragon's consciousness has guided me here. Could there be something here?"
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself as he carefully stepped into the dilapidated courtyard.
He asked Xi Yuying to wait outside the courtyard in case she encountered any danger in the courtyard. He was afraid that Xi Yuying wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Kang Shin-mu wasn't too worried about his own safety. In any case, he had the black dragon's consciousness in his body that could devour the heavens. At a critical moment, the black dragon definitely wouldn't let Kang Shin-mu die just like that.
After stepping into the dilapidated courtyard, Kang Shin-mu looked around but did not find anything suspicious.
There were no living beings in the entire courtyard, and the nearby residences outside the courtyard had their doors tightly shut. Because the Scarlet Demonic Wolves were attacking with great momentum, and even the Dragon Seal Array had been activated, these ordinary civilians who could not awaken to become dragon warriors were very flustered.
"What exactly is the problem?"
Kang Shin-mu frowned. He was certain that there was something wrong with this courtyard. Otherwise, the black dragon's consciousness would not have brought him all the way here.
Just as he was thinking about this, his feet suddenly seemed to sink into a quagmire, causing him to stagger and lose his balance.
He immediately looked down at his feet, only to see that the originally hard ground beneath his feet had now become a pool of blood. As he stood on this pool of blood, he was continuously sinking into it!
"Huh?"
Kang Shin-mu's expression changed slightly. He immediately urged the talent power in his body to transform into the form of the black dragon.
Unfortunately, he found that after being stained by this pool of blood, he could not use the talent power in his body. He could not even transform into the divine dragon form of a dragon warrior. His entire body seemed to be restricted and sealed, and he fell into an extremely bad state!
"What's going on?"
Kang Shin-mu did not expect to fall into this pool of blood without any time to react. He immediately felt his heart palpitate.
Fortunately, as he came into contact with this pool of blood, the black dragon's consciousness in his body seemed to become more and more awake. This black dragon's consciousness seemed to have discovered something of interest and began to actively awaken from its slumber.
A terrifying aura that seemed to come from ancient times was constantly emitted from Kang Shin-mu's body. Everything around him seemed to be engulfed by him.
"Kang Shin-mu!"
Xi Yuying, who was outside the dilapidated courtyard, only saw that Kang Shin-mu had suddenly disappeared. It was as if he had vanished into thin air from this world and disappeared from her sight.
She was shocked and hurriedly followed into the dilapidated courtyard. However, before she could take two steps, a pool of blood also appeared under her feet!
The appearance of this pool of blood meant that they had been dragged into an illusion and could no longer see each other. No matter what they encountered in the illusion, only they could resolve it themselves.
…
Naturally, Kang Shin-mu did not know that Xi Yuying had also followed him into this dilapidated courtyard.
As the pool of blood appeared under his feet, everything around him began to be stained with a layer of blood-red. It was as if blood had melted and dripped down.
The sky, the weeds, the walls, the withered trees, everything turned blood-red and turned into droplets of blood. Kang Shin-mu's entire body was submerged within it.
This kind of power made Kang Shin-mu feel like he was suffocating!
However, at this moment, an enormous aura suddenly rose from within his body. The black dragon's consciousness had finally reached the critical point of awakening. A heaven-rending, earth-shattering power erupted from within Kang Shin-mu's body.
In just an instant, all the droplets of blood around Kang Shin-mu's body were all washed away, turning into green smoke and dissipating.
Then, a blood-red object appeared not far from Kang Shin-mu. It seemed to carry endless resentment as it confronted the black dragon's consciousness.
Kang Shin-mu did not know what this blood-red object was, but when it faced the black dragon's consciousness, it seemed to retain its ferocity and did not show the slightest bit of cowardice.
"Source of Demon Blood!"
At this moment, these four words suddenly appeared in Kang Shin-mu's mind.
These four words represented the name of the blood-red object in front of him, as well as its nature. It was a type of Source of Demon Blood.
This Source of Demon Blood was a living creature that was naturally formed from energy. It was useless to dragon warriors, and could even be harmful. However, to demonic beasts, as long as they devoured a Source of Demon Blood, they would be able to experience a great change and increase in strength.
Even for extremely powerful demonic beasts, this kind of change and increase would still exist!
Therefore, the attack of the Scarlet Demon Wolves this time was most likely caused by the leader of the Scarlet Demon Wolf pack. They wanted to obtain the Source of Demon Blood, but unfortunately, the Scarlet Demon Wolf pack was blocked outside the Dragon Seal Formation of Mt. Mang City.
Moreover, the Source of Demon Blood had already revealed itself in front of Kang Shin-mu!
Although Kang Shin-mu was a dragon warrior and absorbing the power of the Source of Demon Blood was useless, he had comprehended the innate ability of devouring.
