The deeper he went, the more pungent the stench of blood became.

Jiang Che slowed his pace, his expression growing increasingly grave.
He continued to sneak forward for another half-mile or so when the faint sounds of piercing screams and bestial roars reached him from up ahead.
'Just ahead!'
A thought flashed through his mind. He instantly entered the Heart Stream state, pushing his Flying Swallow Step to its absolute limit. Like a wisp of smoke, he shot silently toward the source of the sounds.
