Chapter 82: The Netherworld

The golden flames raged on the ruins near the edge of the "Netherworld", and in the face of Bai Wuchang's questioning, the man known as the "Three-legged Crow" still looked down with a blank face, seemingly unmoved.

"My purpose has nothing to do with you. Three-legged Wu opened his mouth indifferently. "I'm going to settle on this netherworld. ”

After that, the three-legged black didn't bother to talk nonsense, and then waved his long sleeves, turned around and rolled up the cold wind, and was about to fly towards the dark canyon behind him, but before he could make any moves, his body suddenly froze. He lowered his head and glanced at his ankle calmly, only to see that a chain glowing with black light had somehow coiled around his right foot again, and the end of the chain was pinched in the hand of the man in black beside Bai Wuchang.

“…… What do you think is the Netherworld? It doesn't matter if you're a Celestial Bird or anything else...... Where you shouldn't go, you won't be able to step into a single step!" Hei Wuchang shook to his feet, raising his eyes to look at the long-haired man in the sky, and there was no flinch in his eyes.

"Hmph, I can't help myself. ”

The three-legged crow snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and slashed in the direction of his ankle, and the intertwined chains were instantly torn apart, but this was not over, with the wind sweeping around the three-legged crow, those chain fragments suddenly turned the head of the spear, and shot straight in the direction of black and white impermanence like a rain of knives!

"Pound ——!"

In an instant, a translucent barrier suddenly shrouded the black and white impermanence, obscuring all the flying chain fragments, and at the same moment, a six-star light prison suddenly rose from the ground from the side of the three-legged black feet, firmly encircling it. It turned out that the previous chain attack was just a cover, and Bai Impermanence's spell had already taken the opportunity to quietly take shape, and the ultimate goal of the two of them was to complete the current "siege situation".

"Success!" Seeing the three-legged black being shrouded in the light prison, the black and impermanent expression was suddenly shocked, but the good times did not last long, and before he had time to continue to attack, he suddenly found that the figure of the man in the light prison began to distort and deform, and finally dissipated into the light out of thin air like a cloud of smoke.

"What is this...... Oops!!" The black impermanence who came back to his senses quickly raised his head, but he could only watch as the black shadow of the golden cicada broke through the clouds and mist in the sky, and sped towards the forbidden canyon in front of him.

"Damn!

Hei Wuchang slammed his fist on the rock wall, his face was full of chagrin after the mistake, but at this time, Bai Wuchang calmed down, only to see him raise his head and glance calmly at the canyon in the distance, his eyes seemed to have a kind of calmness in his heart.

"No, I still caught up. ”

Bai Wuchang suddenly said meaningfully.

"And if his purpose is the 'Book of Life and Death,' then he's probably ...... I'm going to be disappointed. ”

-----------------------

Thick clouds and mist cast shadows into the deep and quiet canyon, and in this full dark hue, a golden figure flew by, standing out in the night.

The cold wind blew the wings of the three-legged crow, as if it was desperately trying to stop him, but such obstacles were not at all fearful for the three-legged crow, and at this time he was staring closely at the canyon below, rushing straight in a certain direction.

Soon, a touch of blue suddenly appeared in the eyes of the three-legged black as jade, and a community of cracks with blue light appeared in the depths of the canyon ahead; around the dense cracks, there seemed to be many craggy giant stone monuments floating on the cracks, slightly undulating, and at the end of the cracks stood a towering tree glowing with blue light, with its hideous and twisted branches reaching into the sky, but not half a leaf was visible.

"In this case, the 'Book of Life and Death' should be in ......"

As soon as he saw the giant tree, the three-legged black seemed to have found a benchmark, and even his originally unchanged indifferent expression seemed to be moved. His figure began to descend and finally landed on the edge of the cliff of the crack group, and it was only then that he could really see what the stone tablets floating on the cracks were.

Dense golden text symbols are engraved on those giant stone monuments, constantly flashing with strange colors, and the floating stone monuments in front of you seem to be only the tip of the iceberg, and more stone monuments are hidden in the crevices of the canyon below, row upon row, with no end in sight, and the number is staggering.

"I really didn't expect that the legendary 'Book of Life and Death' turned out to be a ...... engraved on a stone tablet."

The three-legged black looked at the golden symbols on the stone monuments in front of him, and seemed to be slightly surprised, but this unexpected color was fleeting, and soon he waved his wings again and flew into the air, trying to get close to those stone monuments, but this time he was surprised to find that he was blocked back by an invisible barrier, and the flying electric light burst out around the three-legged black, which also made his face suddenly ugly.

"It's ......!"

"This is 'enchantment'. ”

A soft and calm female voice floated from behind the three-legged black, and the three-legged black turned around and looked up at the petite girl in the ghost mask who was sitting on the cliff looking down on her, her brows furrowed slightly.

"You still show up, Hades......" Three-legged Wu opened his mouth coldly with a calm face.

"Hehe, you make such a big fuss, how can I turn a blind eye. ”

The girl's lips and teeth opened, and then she reached out and slowly took off her mask, revealing the beautiful, but expressionless face behind the mask.

The long silver hair fluttered gently with the breeze, and the purple pupils were as deep and quiet as an abyss, which also made the girl's beautiful face a little less vibrant, like a beautiful and indifferent doll, but the haunting majesty around her body was not weakened by its beautiful appearance, even if it was as proud as a three-legged black, in the face of the girl in front of her, she did not dare to take it lightly.

"A century ago, there was a reckless red-haired boy who tried to go into the 'Netherworld' alone to consult the 'Book of Life and Death', I thought that only he could do this kind of thing, but I didn't expect it...... Even you. The girl looked at the three-legged black and said calmly.

"Hmph, that guy who can't even cross the 'Lethe Barrier' can't compare to me. The three-legged black's eyes flashed with coldness and disdain.

"Yes, it's a pity that even if you are not bound by the 'Lethe Barrier', you will not be able to pass this 'Reincarnation Barrier' after all, or ...... No one can cross this barrier except me. ”

The girl said, ignoring the increasingly gloomy face of the three-legged black, and turned her head to look at the stone monuments that were densely packed in the cracks in the canyon.

"The 'Book of Life and Death' is a sacred object that records the lives of all living beings, even if you are a divine bird, it is taboo to touch it without permission, or it will incur the punishment of the heavenly realm, why are you so persistent?"

"......" The three-legged black stared at Hades in silence, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he looked away, and finally spoke again:

"A thousand years ago, I made a bet with a friend that I would retreat and practice separately, and after a thousand years, I would go out and compete. At that time, I chose to stay in the Heavenly Realm, while he chose to devote himself to the Heavenly Realm to hone his body and mind. However, a thousand years later, when I came out of the customs and came to the promised land, he never appeared again......"

The three-legged pause and looked at the floating stone monuments.

"He is of a noble character and will never break his promises, and the only possibility is that he will not appear...... It was he who had an accident in the realm. ”

"That's why you want to check the 'Book of Life and Death'?" said the girl as if she had heard the meaning of the three-legged black words.

"That's right. The three-legged black retracted his gaze and looked at the girl. "The 'Book of Life and Death' not only records the 'fate' of all things, but also its 'soul footprints', whether the other party is reincarnated or hidden in the world, it can be found instantly, and this is the only way for me to find out the whereabouts of that friend. ”

"I see...... Unfortunately, you seem to be a step late. The girl said, stretching out her slender fingers and pointing at the stone tablet in the distance. I saw that a huge stone tablet closest to the two of them gradually turned over and turned in the direction of the three-legged black, but after just one glance, the three-legged black suddenly found something, and his face suddenly changed.

The text on the Book of Life and Death...... It's disappearing?"

The three-legged black stared in amazement at the faded text symbol on the stone tablet, even if it was only such a slight change, he was stunned.

"As you can see, the 'Book of Life and Death' has undergone a mutation, and in this case, even if you come into contact with the 'Book of Life and Death', I am afraid that you will not be able to find accurate clues. The girl looked at the faded words on the stele and said.

"The 'Book of Life and Death' will be unexpectedly changed...... It's unheard of......" said the three-legged black with a calm face.

"The 'Book of Life and Death' records the reincarnation and fate of each living being, and when a name disappears from the 'Book of Life and Death', it means that there is a living being who can no longer enter the cycle of reincarnation. The girl said. But from another point of view, perhaps it is precisely because it is impossible to re-enter reincarnation that the name has disappeared from the 'book of life and death'. ”

"It is only possible that you can't re-enter reincarnation because the soul is incomplete, could it be that ...... 'he'' has something to do with it?" Thinking of this possibility, a rare waver appeared on the three-legged black's face.

"Speaking of which, it seems that there have been more and more puppet undead on the banks of the Lethe River recently...... What the hell is going on in the realm? The girl muttered, consciously or unconsciously.

"......" The three-legged black glanced at the girl who was still sitting calmly, and knew the meaning of her words.

"Hmph, I can go to the Realm as you wish, and help you investigate the source of the deprivation of the soul of life and the cause of the mutation of the 'Book of Life and Death', but in exchange, I hope that when everything is over, let me consult the 'Book of Life and Death' and find my friend. ”

"As long as the Book of Life and Death returns to normal, the little bit of information you want is just a matter of pushing the boat down. There seemed to be a rare hint of a smile on the girl's delicate puppet-like face, but her eyes were still as cold as water. "I promise you. ”

"It's a deal. ”

The three-legged black nodded, turned his head and looked at the silent 'Book of Life and Death' stone tablet again, a faint trace of determination flashed in his jade-colored pupils, and then he stopped speaking, turned around and turned into a black shadow, and disappeared.

The girl ......withdrew her gaze from the direction where the three-legged black had disappeared, and then cast her gaze on the crystal ball in her hand. I saw a man dressed in guard clothes reflected on the surface of the crystal ball, and the other party seemed to be looking for something in a corridor.

"Now that this is the end of the matter, what about you......"

The girl's purple pupils reflected Jiang Yao's uneasy face in the crystal ball.

"I hope you'...... Don't let me down. ”
