Due to his Divine Sense being unusable here, he followed along the sides of the Blood Lake.

Soon, he discovered many statues around the Blood Lake.

Each of these statues took the form of a hideous Demon Beast, each with a pair of giant wings on its back.

Upon closer inspection, Duan Gujin realized that the heads of these beasts resembled the heads of snakes.

It was the first time he had seen so many Demon Beast statues; he furrowed his brow, realizing that he must have arrived at a Demon Cultivator's place of Cultivation.

"I should destroy these statues!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and he then unleashed Qi-formed illusions towards those statues.

Thunderous noise filled the air endlessly.

After throwing several punches, Duan Gujin found that the statues were not destroyed; instead, they emitted a Light Shield that blocked his powerful punches.

Duan Gujin's complexion changed drastically; he hadn't expected that the statues were also equipped with Defensive Light Shields.

"To be able to set up such a staggering number of statues here, and also to place Defensive Light Shields on them, the Demon Cultivator must be a master of Array formations."

Duan Gujin guessed that the Demon Cultivator here was no ordinary one.

He looked around and noticed that Array Power began to emerge in the area; he guessed that it was his earlier attacks that had triggered the Array here.

His complexion changed dramatically; he knew that he absolutely could not let the Demon Cultivator continue to operate the Array here.

If he did not intervene, it might allow the Demon Cultivator's strength to grow and eventually cause a major disaster.

Thus, he continued to unleash his most powerful Skills at the statues ahead.

However, suddenly, he heard massive bubbles popping up in the Blood Lake ahead.

After a while, countless figures emerged from the Blood Lake.

"What is that?"

Duan Gujin's complexion changed drastically; he widened his eyes and intensely watched the figures emerging from the Blood Lake.

He did not run away, but instead stood ready; he wanted to see clearly what those figures from the Blood Lake were.

Splash, splash, splash!

The sound of water grew loud; he saw those figures swiftly swimming toward his current position.

After a while, he could clearly see the true forms of those figures.

"It turns out to be rows of Blood Snakes!"

After seeing their true forms clearly, Duan Gujin gasped in shock.

What he now saw were over twenty Blood Snakes, each two meters tall with a pair of giant wings and blood-red bodies all over.

He recognized this as a species known as the Blood Snake from the Devil Clan; although not highly poisonous, it could fly and move extremely fast.

Martial Artists from the Jiuzhou Continent often immediately avoid these Blood Snakes when encountered.

Because these Blood Snakes usually appear in groups, and they do not act alone.

Moreover, each Blood Snake was not weak in strength; their Cultivation was much stronger than that of the usual members of the Devil Clan.

Duan Gujin compared them and suddenly realized.

"So these statues were modeled after these Blood Snakes!"

Puchi! Puchi!

After a while, the Blood Snakes shook their wings and transformed into a bloody whirlwind, rapidly rushing towards Duan Gujin's location.

Duan Gujin furrowed his brows tightly; he sensed that each of these Blood Snakes had released a Cultivation of the Martial Sect Realm.

If only one or two Blood Snakes of the Martial Sect Realm had charged at him, he wouldn't have chosen to retreat immediately.

But now, with more than twenty Blood Snakes, each in the Martial Sect Realm, appearing in front of him, he immediately realized that he could not fight these Blood Snakes head-on.

Thus, his body flickered, turning into a ghostly shadow that quickly disappeared into the Void.

After Duan Gujin disappeared, the Blood Snakes didn't leave immediately but circled around the nearby area.

However, when they still couldn't find Duan Gujin, they dived into the Blood Lake ahead.

Only when Duan Gujin saw all the Blood Snakes dive into the Blood Lake, and he, hiding not far away, having concealed his life aura, did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He hadn't escaped far because he knew that these Blood Snakes had a characteristic; they couldn't travel far from the Blood Lake.

Once they left the Blood Lake, their Combat Power would be significantly reduced.

If they appeared at Duan Gujin's current hiding spot, their abilities in all aspects would be restricted, unable to fully exert their combat power.

Duan Gujin was clear in his mind; if he concealed his life aura, it would be extremely difficult for those Blood Snakes to discover his current hiding spot.

"Why would a Blood Lake just appear out of nowhere here? And why are there so many Blood Snakes in this lake?"

Duan Gujin's brows were tightly knit as he pondered this, but he couldn't figure it out.

He initially intended to leave the place, but then he thought it over and felt he should explore a bit more.

"It is said that rare spiritual medicines or I might find a rare Spiritual Medicine related to Blood Snakes usually appear where Blood Snakes are found."

Upon rethinking, Duan Gujin felt that he might take a risk here.

Thus, he immediately got ready for battle and then stealthily approached those statues; he followed them step by step towards the front.

After traveling a few kilometers, he saw a giant Blood Snake Statue in front of him.

Beneath that giant Blood Snake Statue, three huge Blood Snakes were guarding a blood-red plant with a large blood-red fruit on it.

Duan Gujin's eyes widened as he examined the blood-red plant, pondering what kind of plant it actually was.

After a moment, he gasped in shock.

"Could that be the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit?"

His eyes flickered; he felt that the fruit he was seeing was very likely the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit.

Even though he was some distance away from the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit, he judged that it must be a ripe fruit.

"I never thought I could actually find a treasure like the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit here!"

Duan Gujin's mind began to race; he was contemplating how to obtain the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit.

Looking at the three giant Blood Snakes ahead, an idea quickly flashed through his mind.

"Now is the best opportunity to make my move!"

He remembered the more than twenty Blood Snakes he had seen earlier; he knew that if those Blood Snakes were all around the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit, it would be impossible for him to make a move against them.

The enemy's numbers were too many, and moreover, they had the advantage of terrain!

But now, seeing only three giant Blood Snakes in front of him, he judged that if he could lure those three Blood Snakes away, he could easily snatch the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit.

However, just as he was contemplating how he would lure away the three giant Blood Snakes, suddenly, one of the Blood Snakes emitted a bright radiance.
