The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

For a moment, he froze. He almost thought he was hallucinating. He blinked, looked a few more times, and then his face turned as white as paper!

Zhang Liao and Lü Lingqi looked at his face, as if they had realized something, and both looked down into the passageway. Then, they both froze.

Below, in the passageway, where were the countless black corpses of assassins? Now, a ghostly blue light burned silently in the passageway, and from the entrance to the altar, not a single assassin's body could be seen!

It was as if they had never existed! But how could that be! If the assassins didn't exist, then what were those three fighting just now?

Chen Er looked at Lü Lingqi and Zhang Liao's faces and slowly said:

"It seems I wasn't hallucinating. They really are gone."

In a sense, this is even more terrifying than the resurrection of corpses. From the moment Lü Lingqi fell and they shifted their gaze to Chen Er looking back into the passageway, barely half an incense stick's time had passed. Yet, in such a short time, the endless array of corpses of the dead warriors had vanished!

This was truly unbelievable. At that moment, the hairs on the back of Chen Er's neck stood on end. In his mercenary career, he had witnessed many strange and unbelievable things, but none could compare to what he was about to encounter!

"Perhaps, some kind of group martial skill... wiped out their corpses..." Lu Lingqi thought for a moment, her expression softening slightly, and then spoke uncertainly.

"Does such a martial skill even exist? Besides, there should only be the three of us here!" Before Zhang Liao could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he stared intently at Lü Lingqi's back!

Chen Er also looked behind Lü Lingqi. Behind her, a red rope-like thing suddenly appeared, like an earthworm magnified countless times.

"Watch out!" Chen Er shouted, seeing that Lü Lingqi was still oblivious, he pounced on her, tackled her to the ground, and pinned her to his chest. Then, he drew a poisoned dagger and slashed at the red "rope" that was relentlessly chasing after Lü Lingqi's back.

This knife, brought by Chen Er when he transmigrated, is a renowned Swiss Army knife, and it has undergone special modifications and enhancements, making it far sharper than any weapon Chen Er has ever used. However, this dagger, which should have been able to cut through iron like mud, felt to Chen Er as if it had pierced a special alloy when it sliced ​​through the red rope!

Instead of cutting the red rope, the recoil caused pain in his hand, and he lost his grip on the dagger, which fell to the ground.

Chen Er was stunned, while Lü Lingqi, unaware of what was happening, shoved Chen Er away forcefully and stood up. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the red "rope" circling around her like a venomous snake.

Her face turned ashen in an instant, as if she had encountered the most terrifying thing, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhang Liao helped Chen Er up. The two of them looked at Lü Lingqi, somewhat puzzled. Although they didn't know where the red rope had come from, surely it shouldn't have caused Lü Lingqi such a reaction? Even against the army of assassins earlier, Lü Lingqi hadn't been this panicked.

However, when countless red "ropes" appeared all around them, accompanied by the mournful cries of the Chongming bird, they truly paled. Then, they heard Lü Lingqi's trembling voice, as if in a dream:

"The Abyss Dragon... it actually exists..."

"No matter what this monster is, quickly control the Chongming Bird! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

Chen Er's desperate roar finally had an effect, and the light returned to Lü Lingqi's eyes. Hearing Chen Er's words, she strained to look down into the endless abyss, but after just one glance, she turned away, as if she dared not look any longer.

The Chongming Bird was now entwined with even more red, rope-like vines. The flames spewed from its mouth, powerful enough to scorch the assassins, couldn't burn through these red vines at all.

The Chongming Bird continued to struggle, trying to break free from the increasingly tight vines, but its efforts were destined to be in vain. Pulled relentlessly by the tentacles from the abyss, its massive body stumbled and plummeted downwards.

Lü Lingqi also gave up trying. At this moment, the spoiled and willful young lady of the past was gone. She looked at Zhang Liao and Chen Er and spoke to them in the loudest voice she had ever spoken:

"The tunnel!"

Chen Er and Zhang Liao understood what she meant, but at this moment, would jumping onto the tunnel be of any use?

However, "Yuanlong" did not give them more time to think. The massive body of the Chongming Bird crashed heavily into the tunnel, and the three of them were jolted at the same time. Amidst the Chongming Bird's miserable cries, the three of them tumbled off the back of the Chongming Bird onto the tunnel.

Red vines were still pulling at the Chongming birds, but their numbers had inexplicably decreased significantly. Before Chen Er could relax, he heard Zhang Liao collapse to the ground beside him with a thud.

At that moment, he couldn't care about anything else and ran straight to Zhang Liao's side. Surrounded by red vines, he almost wondered if he had entered a dream world.

The cries of the Chongming bird grew more and more mournful, causing Chen Er's heart to ache. He glanced at Zhang Liao and, seeing that he was merely unconscious, felt relieved. However, as soon as he turned to check on the Chongming bird, he discovered a sight he shouldn't have seen.

Lü Lingqi, having removed her battle armor at some point, revealed large expanses of snow-white skin, which appeared alluring under the glow of the eerie blue firelight mixed with red light. What she did next astonished Chen Er even more.

She was actually drawing something with her finger below her collarbone.

She was using blood to draw intricate patterns below her collarbone. Chen Er stared in astonishment at this scene, momentarily forgetting even the presence of the "Abyss Dragon" around him.

Then he saw the enormous Chongming bird suddenly vanish into thin air. The countless red ropes wrapped around its body, like a viper whose prey had suddenly disappeared while hunting, kept spinning in the air.
