My Cell Prison

Chapter 478: 478: Offering

Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Offering
 

Behind the stone door lay a lengthy pitch-black corridor.

While the rest of the team were venturing on their respective dark paths, Han Dong released everything he had stored inside him, creating quite a commotion.

Clang, clang….

Hell Raiser Togu, dragging heavy chains with his arms, walked at the back of the team, ready to use his body to bear the brunt of any abnormality that might occur behind them.

Han Dong, keeping the Little Demon Eye activated, led the way to identify any traps hidden in the corridors instantly.

Chen Li, who had mastered the Shadow Sect Secret Methods, could now meld her body into the shadows, just like Jane…

What was different about Chen Li was that she utilized the ‘Yin Qi’ more proficiently.

The process of fading away was akin to a ghost disappearing into wisps of blue smoke in a horror movie.

As for Nicole, she remained in the middle of the team, with a single pink suction cup tentacle extending from her side, lightly hooked onto the back of Han Dong’s hand…

In the Different Space created by the Blood God, Nicole felt quite uncomfortable.

“There sure are a lot of traps… I hope they’re alright.”

With the Demon Eye’s near-cheating ability, all sorts of traps held no significance for Han Dong.

Ten minutes later, they safely traversed the corridor and arrived at a small room.

“Offer thy body in exchange for the Blood God’s offering.”

These words were engraved on the stone wall directly opposite them.

There was a hole underneath, which required Han Dong to exchange something for the so-called offering.

If the value of the offered item was insufficient, the exchange would not be possible.

Han Dong aimed his Demon Eye at the hole, trying to see who was orchestrating the exchange.

A flash of crimson.

Another eye engrained with a bloody crest was staring at Han Dong from within the hole.

Gulp… Han Dong swallowed some saliva, a slight cold sweat broke out at the back of his neck, it seemed there was no shortcut in sight.

The one orchestrating this trade seemed to be part of the Blood God.

“Just as Captain Lucius said, this is a Different Space constructed by the Blood God… it’s almost impossible to find any easy way out here.

In this equal exchange, one must provide a ‘limb’ of equivalent value to obtain the offering.

And the participant is I, not my containment subjects… the limb has to come from my body.”

Han Dong did possess the power of regeneration.

Even if he cut off his entire right arm, he could regenerate at an extremely fast pace with the help of the G-virus.

In Han Dong’s view, such a method might not be sincere enough… the whole Crimson Manor event had strongly religious undertones from the start.

The ultimate purpose of this banquet was to find the Blood Brew.

However, on a deeper level, it seemed more like a test by the Blood God for the new Nobility, a test with strong religious symbolism.

Perhaps absolute devotion would earn the most sincere rewards.

“Since the Blood God is overseeing this deadly contest… let’s try to get through it in a way he would like.”

Chitter chatter…

A grey tentacle speckled with spots slowly crawled out from Han Dong’s palm.

When the tentacle reached half a meter in length, Han Dong made a bold move and forcibly severed it…

Ahh!

This pain, which pierced straight to the bone and seeped into his soul, nearly shattered Han Dong’s teeth.

His body quivered slightly, and he was immediately supported by Togu.

Drops of cold sweat began to seep out from his forehead…

The pain of severing the tentacle was ten times worse than if Han Dong had lost an entire arm.

While the severed tentacle was still somewhat lively, Han Dong swiftly slid it into the hole.

A bloody hand from the other side of the hole quickly reached out to receive the tentacle and an audible chuckle of delight rang out.

Immediately following that, a terrifying, lipless, gnashing mouth clung to the hole.

“The item you have exchanged far surpasses the value of the offering, we shall give you additional tools as compensation.”

A bloody arm full of veins stretched out from inside the cave.

The fingers opened revealing two special items on the palm.

A Blood Diamond, and a jagged key inlaid with a small Blood Diamond gem.

Obviously, the key was an unexpected reward, while the Blood Diamond was necessary to open the gate.

Since obtaining the offering did not require a battle, Han Dong recalled Togu and the others back to the containment, leaving only Nicole, who had transformed into a pink octopus and hid in his body.

“Oh, Captain Lucius, you’re so quick?”

When Han Dong returned to the previous hall, he found that Captain Lucius had arrived before him.

Naturally, Han Dong never wasted a moment throughout the process, and the exchange for the offering was quite decisive.

“Since it’s a race against time, of course we need to pass the test as quickly as possible.

I used my cursed blood to directly exchange for the offering… and easily solved the creatures of fresh blood that appeared along the way.”

Before long.

All six of them, each with a Blood Diamond, gathered in the hall.

The most dangerous was Abe.

Abe transformed directly into the White Wolf Form, held a Blood Diamond in his mouth, and leapt abruptly from the corridor.

A massive bloody hand that was chasing him seemed unable to cross the boundary and could only stop at the stone door… then it collapsed into a pool of blood that was absorbed by the ground.

They got all the offerings without any difficulties.

After inserting them into their respective grooves on the stone door, the giant stone door sank into the ground.

This time, the corresponding corridor was more spacious, even bright… thanks to a candle-style skeleton head that was placed in a recess on the wall, providing light.

The group was advancing deeper into the Crimson Manor.

When exiting the corridor, they arrived once again at a hall which required certain conditions to be fulfilled for further entry.

“Vow of Tri-return” – a strange English hint was engraved on the stone wall.

Under the font, a gigantic stone door was engraved with a peculiar three-headed creature.

The skulls of the three-headed creature were showing ‘Empty Grooves’.

As with the previous situation, they needed to fill the corresponding object into the door to open it.

In the current room, a special stone door on the side was open. Above the side door was marked an Arabic numeral-[3]

“It seems they only allow three people to enter. After passing a certain test, they will get the tools to open the stone door… This time is likely a collaborative test.”

Lucius made an immediate decision: “Well then, the three of us knights will go in… You all can wait here.”

“Wait a minute…”

Han Dong seemed to have realized something.

“Once our team is split up like this, we’ll all be in groups of three… Older brothers and sisters, after you enter, you’ll undergo some sort of test.

And for those of us who stay here, we might also face some kind of test.

We should try to distribute our strength evenly.”

“Hmm… Jane, you stay here. Nicholas, you come with us…”

“Alright.”

That was exactly the result Han Dong wanted.

The so-called danger outside was merely an excuse…

In this Crimson Feast, Han Dong had to personally witness the entire process of Lucius receiving acknowledgment and being conferred nobility.
