The superhuman who controlled poison earlier explained, "Deadly poison can kill the microorganisms on corpses, thus achieving long-term preservation without decay."

Over on the Pagyi Family's side, someone had also fished up a corpse.

Zhang Yi and the others moved closer to take a careful look.

Indeed, they found the appearance of this dead body to be strange.

Its clothes were completely stained red, its facial features unclear, but its height was much greater than an ordinary person's, reaching about two and a half to two and three-quarters meters.

What drew the most attention was a deeply carved eye pattern on its head.

Without looking closely, one might think it had three eyes.

Deji sucked in a sharp breath and immediately said to everyone, "This is a Demonic Person of the Demon Kingdom! According to ancient texts, Demonic People are tall in stature, the largest even reaching over two zhang in height! Moreover, they revere the demonic eye; every Demonic Person has a demonic eye emblem carved between their eyebrows!"

"Finding the corpse of a Demonic Person here proves they have not perished and are still living and reproducing. We came to the right place!"

No one had expected they would encounter Demonic People so quickly.

Although it was a corpse, this proved that their enemies were on the other side of this sea!

Yang Xinxin said, "Such a vast Sea of Blood is actually created using corpses."

Combined with the mountain of bleached bones they had seen earlier, Liang Yue couldn't help but say, "A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."

Zhang Yi's gaze swept coldly over the surroundings. The Sea of Blood flowed slowly, undulating gently, an overall scene of deathly stillness.

"The Mountain of Bones is the esoteric sect's seal, meant to block the Demonic People. Then this Sea of Blood might be the Demon Kingdom's seal, meant to obstruct King Gesar's army."

In that battle back then, both sides had fought to near collapse, hence they chose to retreat a step each.

King Gesar won, but it was a hard-fought victory, which is why he chose to continue this battle for future generations.

"If the Lord of the Charnel Ground truly is the reincarnation through the ages, then the Lord of the Charnel Ground," his gaze turned toward the kayak where the Lord of the Charnel Ground was in the distance, "is he here to personally resolve the unresolved problem from a thousand years ago, after a millennium?"

Just as Zhang Yi was deep in thought, suddenly, the danger precognition ability of All Things Follow Traces made him sense some kind of anomaly.

Without a word, he immediately pulled Chodak and Fatty Xu, who were closest, backward.

And the corpse on the kayak abruptly opened its eyes!

The kayak was small, and there were several soldiers near it observing the corpse.

As a result, the corpse suddenly sat bolt upright, then opened its mouth toward the Private Soldier in front and spat out a beam of black light.

"Pfft!"

That soldier's chest was directly pierced through, leaving only a blood hole that went straight through front to back.

He screamed in agony; his heart had already been devoured.

That black shadow flashed past and vanished into the Sea of Blood.

The other corpses that had been fished up were no different; they all launched attacks on the surrounding, unprepared soldiers.

This assault was too sudden. Even though there were powerful superhumans present, no one expected the corpses soaking in the Sea of Blood to suddenly rise up and attack.

Immediately, over a dozen soldiers met their end.

Such turmoil instantly put everyone on high alert.

"What was that thing just now?"

"Don't know, it was too fast, it killed over a dozen people in an instant!"

Deji, his face grim, ordered, "Quick, throw the corpses overboard! Stay on guard!"

In Zhang Yi's hand, the black Adamantium long sword was gripped tightly; he would strike at the first sign of any anomaly.

The soldiers hurriedly threw the corpses off the boats while taking out their weapons, preparing to face the eerie things in the Sea of Blood.

"Hehehehe~"

"Hahahaha~"

Waves of laughter echoed across the Sea of Blood, like the cries of ghosts and ghouls, utterly chilling.

The calm Sea of Blood suddenly began to surge with waves, which then transformed into turbulent billows, crashing toward the fleet.

These kayaks weren't large and couldn't withstand massive waves at all.

If capsized, most people present would be in trouble.

On the Lhamin family's side, a mercenary stood up, touching his thumbs and index fingers together to form a heart-shaped gesture, aiming it toward the direction of the blood waves.

"Calm the Wind and Waves!"

Under his command, the Sea of Blood before him also churned, a huge wave surging and rolling up, crashing toward the oncoming wave from the other side.

"Boom!!"

"Splash splash splash!"

The two tidal forces collided, canceling each other out, thus preventing the fleet's formation from being disrupted.

But as the waves gradually subsided, from within the Sea of Blood emerged one after another blood-red corpses!

Their bodies were wrapped in layers of blood-colored burlap, with demonic eyes carved on their heads.

Perhaps the burlap wasn't originally blood-red, but it had long been thoroughly saturated by the filth in the Sea of Blood.

"Hahahaha~"

The laughter seemed to emanate from these corpses. Across the entire Sea of Blood, before anyone knew it, corpses were everywhere.

From all directions, corpses were laughing!

Even these strong-willed warriors were horrified by such a bizarre scene, their faces turning somewhat pale.

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter drew closer and closer. More and more corpses surged toward the fleet from within the Sea of Blood, quickly blocking all escape routes.

Inside the Shadow Space, Zhou Ke'er and the others witnessed this scene and couldn't help but swallow hard, not daring to look anymore.

"Playing ghost tricks."

Zhang Yi sneered disdainfully.

Such things might scare ordinary people, but how could they scare him?

By now, his hands had long since lost count of how many lives he had taken, his entire being exuding a fierce, murderous aura.

Even if there were eerie entities, they would only fear him; how could they make him afraid?

Most importantly, he had enough confidence in his strength!

"Although I don't know what these things are, destroying them will do!"

Zhang Yi raised the black long sword in his hand and gently swung it forward.

Black Void Power, like flames, swiftly shot out toward the Sea of Blood ahead!

"Whoosh—"

Across a large fan-shaped area of the sea surface centered on Zhang Yi, all the blood-red corpses were directly disintegrated by the Void Power, not even leaving a trace.

Seeing this, the others felt their fear dissipate somewhat.

As long as they could be killed, they weren't some insidious, hard-to-deal-with evil entities!

"Take action, kill them! Something is playing ghost tricks!"

Deji roared loudly.

The superhumans present snapped back to their senses, immediately drew their weapons, and began attacking the corpses.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Right at that moment, from among those corpses, black shadows suddenly shot out, pouncing toward the people on the boats.

Caught off guard before, they had taken advantage; this time, everyone was focused and immediately saw clearly what those things were.

They were blood-red worms, slender all over, with heads as sharp as awls.

It was they who controlled the corpses to approach, then used the corpses as cover to attack humans.
