There were stone stairs beneath the hole. The group descended for a long time until they finally reached the bottom.
Suddenly, a blood-red light emanated from the front!
"What a strong stench of blood!" Yuan Bai and the others exclaimed in surprise.
What could be in front of them? How could it give off such a strong scent of blood?
The queen's face, initially carrying a faint aura of dignity and a hint of coldness, showed signs of excitement. She hurried forward as if something was drawing her in.
Wang Teng remained calm. He had already guessed something, so he wasn't in a hurry.
As they turned a corner, in the dim underground space, a pool of blood appeared before them.
Tong En and the others were utterly shocked. They hadn't expected to find such a place beneath the ground.
"I can feel it. My bloodline is boiling!" murmured the queen with a glimmer in her eyes.
"This place should be the bloodline legacy ground of the Naga Race," Wang Teng speculated.
Even the Primordial Oceanic Serpent Bloodline within him was quivering.
Desire!
His bloodline power was yearning, yearning to absorb the bloodline power within this blood pool!

"It seems like this blood pool can enhance our physical strength," Yuan Bai commented with amazement as he reached out and placed his hand into the pool. He continued, "I feel a slight tingling and burning sensation."
"Enhance our physical strength?" Wang Teng thoughtfully nodded and said, "It seems like it could benefit all of us."
"Rumors have it that the Naga Race has strong physical bodies, and they can gather various star beasts' blood essences and absorb them in a unique manner. Could this blood pool be the place for such absorption?" Round Ball had vanished as soon as they entered the hall but suddenly spoke in Wang Teng's mind.
"A place specifically for absorbing star beasts' blood essence to enhance physical strength? That's quite possible!" Wang Teng nodded to himself.
"But this blood pool might not be as simple as just enhancing physical strength."
Both he and the queen felt the pulsations of their bloodlines. While his Primordial Oceanic Serpent Bloodline was obtained through acquiring attribute bubbles and not inherently his own, it was his now.
This mutual sensation of their bloodlines indicated that there might be something in the bloodpool capable of truly awakening the bloodline power.
For him and the queen, that was the real treasure.
Wang Teng glanced at the queen, who appeared to be impatient and couldn't help but smile. He waved his hand.
"Everyone has a share. There's no need to be polite. The blood pool is quite large, and it should be sufficient for all of us to absorb its essence."
They had all worked together to deal with the Naga Race's armored corpse, and so they should share in the benefits.
Furthermore, he had taken most of the spoils from their earlier fights, so it was only fair to share this blood pool with the others.

"Alright, no need to hold back then!" Tong En and the others nodded in agreement, clearly pleased. Gaining some enhancement to their physical strength in this place was a nice reward.
They could all sense that the power within the blood pool would provide significant assistance to them.
"Junior Wang Teng, you're straightforward. I'm definitely making friends with you." Yuan Bai said with a hearty laugh.
"No need to be so polite," Wang Teng replied with a smile, feeling a bit awkward.
These people were so easy to please!
He felt even more embarrassed now!
Wan Dong and the others exchanged glances, and Wang Teng didn't stop them from entering the blood pool. It seemed like this was also their opportunity.
Afterward, everyone didn't speak much. They stored their battle armor and remained in their ordinary clothing, then stepped into the blood pool to absorb the essence of blood.
Although they didn't feel much before, as soon as they entered the blood pool, they felt a burning sensation, like a searing pain, penetrating their skin, muscles, and bones, and spreading throughout their bodies.
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
"Yuan Bai, is this the 'slight tingling and burning sensation' you mentioned?" Bi Yao shouted.
"It was slight just now!" Yuan Bai gritted his teeth.

The group instinctively tried to use their Force to resist the effects.
"Don't use Force!" Wang Teng said calmly.
Tong En and the others were a little puzzled at first but quickly grasped the situation.
The essence of blood's power was at work here. The more they resisted, the less effective it would be.
Enhancing one's physical strength was not easy. It came at a cost. Clearly, the burning and stinging sensations were part of that cost.
The group looked at Wang Teng's back and couldn't help but be surprised.
Had this guy noticed this earlier?
Also…
Wang Teng appeared as if he were completely unaffected, his steps unwavering as he continued to advance deeper into the blood pool.
He had moved ahead of them!
Could his physical body be even stronger than theirs?
Tong En and the others felt incredulous. Their competitive spirits were ignited, and they gritted their teeth, determined to keep up.
On the other side, the queen also followed Wang Teng, heading deeper into the blood pool. She could sense that the further they went, the greater the benefits, so it remained to be seen if she could endure it.
