Chapter 923 – Someone At the Tree

In reality, besides cracking open the secret of the slash marks, Qin Yu had an even better option. That was to break through the blockade of this land and open up an outlet. If he did that, he could naturally avoid all dangers.

But what a pity, he had already tried once. While he had been able to make out some blurry lines, even though his eyes had turned red and started bleeding, he couldn’t find a true way out.

The blood moon was becoming fuller and fuller with every night. This likely meant that the terrifying creatures here would grow increasingly strong.

Qin Yu didn’t dare to take this risk, because he wasn’t completely confident that he could find a way to leave here before the blood moon reached perfection.

At that time, if he was lucky he might be able to survive on his own. But Lei Xiaoyu would certainly be killed. This wasn’t a guess, but something he knew with absolute certainty.

Qin Yu simply explained to her what happened but didn’t mention the changing cycle of the moon, nor the fact that this world was becoming increasingly dangerous. He only told her that he was very interested in these cut marks and wanted to perceive the strength they contained.

Almost half of the 24 hour period that the bushes would remain illuminated for had passed. Qin Yu quietly observed the cut marks, not yet touching them. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to touch them and feel their power, but because he could clearly perceive the flow of power within them and knew that this hidden power was in an extremely delicate and balanced state.

If an external force intruded then the balance would be broken. The consequences would be that the cut marks would lose all their energy.

Qin Yu couldn’t accept this consequence before he found a new safe foothold. Thus, he could only look
