Chapter 42: The Soul Field
As the two of them went deeper, the light became dimer and the cold became more and more intense, Yichen felt a tingling all over his body, his hair stood up one by one, and the tension caused the pores all over his body to shrink, and goosebumps bulged.
Cao'er looked calm, as if she was completely uninfected by the environment. Yichen secretly screamed ashamed, although he knew that this place was weird, he still walked forward.
The soul field, in fact, is the battlefield of the battle between the beasts and birds 10,000 years ago, because there are too many dead in the war, the bones are piled up into a mountain tens of thousands of feet high, and a vast river of blood has been formed at the foot of the mountain.
Later, the human emperor buried all the corpses and blood rivers in the ground, thus forming a large plain with nothing.
There are no living creatures living here, but dark gas often rises from the ground, which is said to be the resentment of the dead of beasts and birds after their deaths, and their souls have nowhere to live.
The resentment came out of the ground and scattered in the air, accumulating over time, and it was able to cover the sky and the sun, and shroud the entire Great Plains in eerie terror.
What's more, occasionally ghostly sighs can be heard. Like a lonely ghost, like a phantom drifting away, it is also real and illusory, like crying and complaining......
Explorers in the elven world, as long as they enter the depths of the soul field, none of them come out alive, and the danger of the soul field spreads.
"Big brother, we are already close to the depths of the soul field, and we are afraid that we will be in danger if we go any further, so let's turn back. As you can see, it's eerie and depressing here, and it's not fun at all. β
Approaching the depths, Cao'er was not as calm as before, but looked at Yichen a little nervously, obviously not wanting to continue. Be the first to update
Compared with Yichen's first time, Cao'er was more familiar with the soul field, and just now in the outer circle, although it was eerie and terrifying, there was no real danger.
And further inside, is the place where the former explorers disappeared, and no one knows what is going on inside, only that there is entry and no exit, death and no life.
"Hmm......" Yichen replied perfunctorily, but his attention at the moment was not far ahead.
A reddish-brown grass about a foot tall grows alone on this death-filled plain.
It was said that the grass was like a small tree, thick and erect, with three half-foot-long branches deep beside it.
Like the color of blood after it has coagulated, it is gray and lifeless, because there are only branches, but not a leaf, and there is not a trace of green.
Blood Soul Grass β
It was really the Blood Soul Grass, Yichen couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and his face was flushed with excitement.
The Blood Soul Grass grows in the land of death, sucking the blood essence immersed in the ground, but it is suppressed by the resentment of the undead, and its growth is extremely slow, known as 'one inch longer in a thousand years'.
This grass is a rare thing in the world, and it is the best in the treasure of heaven and earth. Don't look at it as being born in the land of death, but it is a life-saving treasure in the world, and it is also one of the materials for repairing the cicada's clothes.
According to the height of this Blood Soul Grass, it is estimated that it is already a 10,000-year-old thing, and its preciousness can be imagined. No wonder Yichen was so happy that he didn't even listen to Cao'er's reminder.
Yichen jumped up to the Blood Soul Grass in a few steps, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and stretched out his hand to carefully grab the Blood Soul Grass, preparing to pull it out of the ground. More and faster chapters are here. Unexpectedly, the Blood Soul Grass did not move at all after exerting force.
What's going on? Is there too little effort?
Draw the qi of the five elements into your hands, squat steadily, and use your arms hard - give me up!
This time, Yichen was full of strength, and if it was in other places, the thick trees with the mouth of the bowl would also rise, but the Blood Soul Grass still did not move.
After 10,000 years of erosion of blood essence and resentment, the soul field has long since wiped out all living things, and even the soil has become as hard as iron.
Since the Blood Soul Grass can be born here, it is naturally extraordinary, and even it is not a 'living thing' at all, but a real dead thing, it is just a crystallization formed by the condensation of blood essence and resentment, and its own hardness is several times more than that of soil.

In desperation, Yichen had no choice but to sacrifice the Cangmu Sword. Although the Cangmu Sword is as sharp as clay, it is difficult to exert its power to the extreme with Yichen's cultivation alone.
And when I encountered the Logging Warcraft, I had already used it once. Within three months, it could no longer be activated, and now all that can be used is the sharpness of the Cangmu sword.
Fortunately, the Cangmu Sword is the emperor's weapon after all, even on such a hard ground, Yichen can dig through the thumb-sized amount of dirt at a time.
Therefore, Yichen spent a lot of effort to almost get rid of the void before he could get rid of the soil around the Blood Soul Grass.
"Big brother, be carefulβ"
Finally pulling out the Blood Soul Grass and putting it into the Sun and Moon Space, Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave this ghost place. More and faster chapters are here.
Unexpectedly, a thick black gas emerged from the ground, which instantly diffused, and when the screams of the grass came out, this strange black gas tightly surrounded Yichen.
Before he could react, he was sent to a strange place by the powerful suction force like a tornado.
"Boom, Boomβ"
The gloomy laughter sounded like thunder, causing goosebumps all over Yichen's body.
I saw that the black qi gradually condensed into the image of a skinny old man, his claws exposed the white bones, and his face was blurred, floating in the air.
Yichen raised his eyes and looked around, there were no landscapes and trees, no flowers, birds, insects and fish, empty and lifeless, like a huge hollow.
Except for the old man, there was only a faint mist around him, and a few black gates that led to nowhere.
"Boy, sue me, did the Demon Realm send you here. And what is the purpose? The old man said condescendingly in a commanding tone: "Don't try to escape, you don't have any chance." β
"There is no Demon Realm here. The younger generation Yichen just passed by here inadvertently, and there was no purpose. I didn't expect to alarm my seniors, so please understand. β
Yichen secretly moved his muscles and bones, but his whole body was imprisoned and couldn't move, and he knew that there was no hope of escaping, so he didn't resist and replied politely.
"What, isn't the Demon Realm occupying this place?" the old man asked sharply, "Don't lie to me!" More and faster chapters are here. β
"Senior, my life is in your hands, how dare I lie to you? Besides, I don't need to lie to you at all. "Engaging in such a big movement, and imprisoning me here, dare to be afraid of the demon world.
In this case, Yichen felt that he should not worry about his life, although he was a little nervous, but he was not afraid.
"Really, you didn't lie to me? Although the old man was still not very convinced, his attitude had softened: "Then tell me about the situation in the Demon Realm." β
"Senior, I just heard that there was once a demon realm, but it was driven out of this world 10,000 years ago, but the demon venerable is not dead, that's all I know. β
Yichen truthfully said what he knew: "Please also tell the seniors, what is this place?"
"Well, I believe you, since there is no demon realm here, there are no scruples. It's been 10,000 years, and you're the only living thing I've ever seen. I'm going to talk to you today and relieve your boredom. β
This is a battlefield 10,000 years ago, where the beasts and birds fought for hundreds of years, but in the end they were almost killed because of a natural curse.
When he was alive, the two sides fought to the death, eager to kill each other, but they didn't want to die but were buried in one place and became neighbors.
In the beginning, the undead hated each other, and there were frequent fights, although there were no new 'deaths' in such fights, but they were also a way for everyone to vent their anger. Be the first to update
After many years, everyone gradually got tired of this way, and the hatred slowly faded. Since they are buried together even when they are dead, what else can't they let go.
So they rethought, there was no deep hatred between the beast race and the bird race, if they could coexist peacefully, how could they incur the curse of heaven and cause a catastrophe.
"You may not believe it, but the original enemy has become a friend, and everyone talks about everything. But because there was nothing to talk about, I discovered a shocking secret......"
The old man said in a lamenting tone: "The real reason for this war is not the greedy guide that everyone has been accusing each other, but there is another hidden secret, and the culprit is the Demon Realm. β
"The Demon Realm has always wanted to rob us of our resources and covet our living environment, hoping to use the unique aura here to improve their overall cultivation and deal with powerful humans. With the strength of our beast and bird races, it will be very difficult for the Demon Realm to conquer by force, and it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which will also affect the victory or defeat of their battle with humans. β
Therefore, instead of using force, the Demon Realm used a strategy that was more terrible than force. They sent spies to spread rumors, and the beasts heard that the birds wanted to destroy the beasts and unify the world, but the birds heard the opposite, saying that the beasts wanted to monopolize resources and eradicate the birds......
It has to be said that at all times, the discord meter has been tried and tested. Due to the lack of trust between the two clans, and self-righteousness, the demon world was able to succeed. Originally, as long as everyone calmed down and thought about it, or someone took the initiative to explain, the misunderstanding would be cleared up and the battle would stop.
But everyone is self-righteous, refuses to put down their faces, is hostile to each other, and fights back and forth for hundreds of years, but they don't even know that they are stupid to death. The beasts and birds suffered tens of millions of casualties in this war, but in the end, they fell into the trap of others.
"It's ridiculous......"
"It's pathetic again!!"
"It's even more hateful!!"
The sadness of the old man, Yichen can feel it. If he was a human being, he must have cried bitterly and was heartbroken, but unfortunately he was just a black gas floating in the air now, and although he gathered in human form, he couldn't see his expression after all.
After knowing the truth of the matter, in addition to grief and shame, everyone changed from enemies to friends, and from friends to brothers, and they were ready to gather all the undead to seek revenge from the demon world.
Although the two clans were divided into many small clans before, at this time they were reunited and became a whole - the undead clan.
Everyone is unprecedentedly united, and they swear that even though they are dead spirits, they will also seek justice for their unjust death.
"But I suddenly found that we were buried in the ground, and for many years, the plasma at that time had already condensed into essence, turning the soil into an iron wall, and there was an enchantment hidden in the blood essence, suppressing the undead ......"
The old man sighed and said faintly.
