28 Valley of Ten Thousand Souls
After the harlequin corpse god was sealed into the bronze tripod, Suzuki and Akomaru left Mianzhu Pass, and in order to hide people's eyes, they both put on thick cloaks and marched to the northwest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Since the Great War of the Japanese Kingdom, the King of Spades left in a panic and took Vasumido away, there has been no news of them. On Mt. Okuha, although Suzuki witnessed the wonders of the world where the entire mountain peak was half frozen and half melted, he couldn't step into the battlefield between Zhao Yun, Lu Yan and the Manna Fire King and the King of Spades, let alone see the appearance of the Manna Fire King and the King of Spades.
But the moment the King of Spades took Vasumido captive, he and Vasumido looked at each other, and his heart was shaken, and since then he has seen those eyes in his dreams almost every night.
Every day he woke up, he had to savor the eyes in his dreams, and strangely, every day felt different, and Vasumido's eyes, which were deeply seared into his heart, seemed to tell him different information.
Ever since he had been given more power than ever, the longing revealed in those eyes had intensified.
Hunger, thirst, desires, and signals for help.
Suzuki seems to have been given the powerful capital of Vasumido - his great power - and before that, he was nothing, just a poor Wakoku child.
This made him start to imagine in his heart what he had never dared to think of.
Either way, snatch her over.
With the Beast of Loss, Ako Maru, it is enough to rival the invincible King of Spades.
At first he had little confidence in his own strength, but now, he knows that there is nothing to be afraid of with the king of spades, although he has not yet played against him.
"Why ...... ahead" Suzuki paused, and the image in front of him pulled him back from his thoughts to realityβin the distance was a valley surrounded by mountains, with towering rocks and jagged ancient trees, in which a dark green stream flowed, converging into patches of swamp-like depressions, all covered in a kind of scorched mist, which made people unpleasant to look at.
Akomaru couldn't stop Suzuki's curiosity and accompanied him into this strange valley.
Everything was charred, the ground was soft, the streams were bubbling with disgusting bubbles, and the trees that were dead with fangs and claws were bearing crystals.
Black smoke slowly rose from the footprints left by the Lossless Beast, and there were various bones left on the roadside, posing in various astonishing poses.
"What the hell is this place, it seems that all the creatures that entered this place were burned to death by this land." Akomaru didn't step on the ground because of the protection of the gods, and he was unharmed.
The Lossless Beast let out a few low chirps, the first time it had made a sound since it left Mianzhu.
It seems that this strange place is somewhat different.
The two of them walked for a while, looking at the dilapidated huts built on the hills in the distance, and they looked for the stream to slowly pass and go up the hillside, but they saw a short man standing behind the house, holding a long fishing rod in his hand and seemed to be fishing, but the end of the fishing line was connected to the crystal on the tree.
Syllable!
The fishing rod snapped, and the man shook and turned his face.
"What are you!?"
In the dim light, Suzuki saw a crumpled face, and the right eye socket had lost its eyeball, revealing a deep black hole.
He took a few steps vigilantly, revealing his claw-like, skinny fingers, and arched his back, "What are you!?" How dare you trespass into my territory!? "The voice was hoarse and high-pitched, and it was extremely unpleasant.
Akomaru was obviously a little unhappy, and said, "We just wanted to ask, what kind of place is this?" β
Before Suzuki could speak, the man waved his hand and said, "Go, go!" What are you doing here? You don't want to die? He seemed to be relieved, and slowly turned around to fiddle with the broken fishing rod, and suddenly turned again, "You guys are walking here!?" β
Suzuki said, "yes, it's a bit weird here......"
"No way, how could you come here?" The man ran a few steps forward, only to see the footprints of the Lossless Beast and Akomaru stretching in the distance, and he was sure that they were coming.
He arched his back vigilantly and said, "What do you want, tell you that I will not return this place to you before the lease expires!" Even if you want to use force, you can't do it! β
He shouted almost hoarsely, very emotional.
Akomaru became alert and said, "We're just ordinary people passing by, by the way, we have a little bit of kung fu, so we're not too afraid of the heat in the soil!" β
"Heat? That's going to dry people's marrow! The man waved his fishing rod and said, "Hurry up, you will cause me unnecessary trouble!" β
Suzuki became more and more curious, and said, "You haven't told us what this place is, and besides, what do you mean by 'lease period'?" β
The man roared in a low voice, but he didn't seem to have any strength, and he bent his back and gasped, not expecting him to be so tired from this roar.
"This is the land of death, called the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, in fact, this is a place of trading, this is a place to rent to us mortals, and then we can find the dead family members!"
Akomaru stepped forward and said, "Deal? How to trade? Are you also here looking for the family members who have died? β
The man wiped his still eyeballs, sat down, and said, "After listening to me, you should go quickly, or you will regret it...... I'm doing it for your own good, too! β
He took out a crystal-like thing from the pocket tied around his waist, and put it in his mouth with trembling hands, "Kazkaz" chewed it, and after swallowing it slowly, he no longer gasped, it turned out that the crystal on the tree was a kind of food.
He calmed down a little and muttered: "I am an ordinary farmer in Shudi, that year, because of natural disasters, the crops failed, and my wife died of the plague, leaving only me and my little daughter, at the end of the year, the official family came to collect rent, and I couldn't pay the grain, so they snatched my daughter away." Alas, the poor daughter, because of her appearance, was occupied by the official that day, but the official was a fearful fellow, and the wife was naturally furious, and my poor daughter was blinded and reduced to a maid who washed the toilet......" His eyes widened, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"My daughter was unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide by jumping into a well! My old man's land was confiscated, and he was reduced to a beggar. To be alive for me, the day is the torture of hunger, and the night is the torture of longing. I'm sorry daughter! β¦β¦ One day, when I stepped into this land, I walked forward unconsciously, and my feet were burned by the hot earth, but I did not suffer in the slightest, and by the time I came here, my feet had become like this! He lifted his coat and exposed his legsβthe calves and feet were all bone, with no flesh at all, and the bones had turned black from the burning.
"A man dressed in white came to me, I thought it was a messenger from the underworld, but he told me no, he could help me and help me find my daughter." He pointed to the crystal on the tree and said, "You must think it's beautiful, I thought so when I first came, but I want to tell you that inside every crystal, there is a lonely and wandering soul, they can't be reincarnated, or they are about to be reincarnated, they have all suffered boundlessly, and they are temporarily deposited here." β¦β¦ The man in white told me that my daughter's soul is in these crystals, and I have to find it slowly, slowly...... However, this is a frontier land that does not allow mortals to live for a long time, otherwise it would break the law of nature - a living person should live in a frontier land! So I had to rent this place so I could find it slowly...... Hmph, it turns out that not only the human world, but also here can be exchanged for privileges! β
Akomaru was puzzled and interjected, "What the hell did you sell to rent this place?" β
The man laughed, "Of course it's my soul...... I'm not dead yet, so my soul is spiritual, unlike these dead souls who have been floating in the sea of suffering for hundreds of millions of eons, my soul is like garbage, it will only be devoured by the evil beasts here, hehe, of course, there is me, pity them, I have to go back to the infinitely painful, dim and boundless hell. β
Suzuki was a little unhappy and said, "So, that man in white needs your soul, so what is he used for?" β
The Lost Soul said: "I don't know, I don't know, we're just exchanging, I gave him a part of his soul, and he gave me great power, which is this fishing rod, which can easily break the muscles and bones of those evil beasts that attack here, and dare not rush up again!" But now that it's broken, is the lease coming to an end? Oh my God, I have absolutely no idea what time is here! β
"Looks like you haven't found your daughter yet!" Akomaru touched his silver beard, and kept thinking about the owner behind this land, and he had some eyebrows in his heart.
"No, it's not, I fish for these spirits here from time to time, and then communicate with them, but none of them are my daughters, when I'm tired of fishing, I go to sleep, wake up and continue fishing, and when I'm hungry, I eat these souls to satisfy my hunger, and I keep repeating and repeating, and I don't know how long it has been......"
"Hmph, why don't you want to die? Is there no one here, and no ghost is suffering from this boundless torment? Suzuki unceremoniously ridiculed the foolishness of the Lost Soul.
The Lost Soul was indeed enraged by him, and shouted: "If she dies, I will not be able to find her, only here, I have a glimmer of hope, who are you?" I don't think you're here to rent a fishing rod! β
As he spoke, a thunderclap was heard in the distance, startling everyone, and the soulless man fell to the ground with his head clutched in horror, and even threw the fishing rod aside.
Several white-clothed humanoid objects quickly moved towards this side, and the Lossless Beast opened its crystal green eyes and roared.
Suzuki and Akomaru were alert, and the men in white had already made it up the hill smoothly.
The Lost Soul Man slowly raised his head and smiled, "It's been a long time. β
The man in white didn't seem to care about the existence of Suzuki and Akomaru, and said, "The lease period is up, are you ready to renew the lease?" β
The voice is faint, and I don't know where it came from.
The Lost Soul Man smiled: "Of course, of course, I haven't found my daughter yet?" β
The man in white said: "Okay, hand over another soul, and we will agree to renew the lease for fifty years!" β
The Lost Soul said: "Can it be extended for a longer time, there are too many souls here, it's really hard to find!" β
The man in white smiled and said: "How much time is the same, tell you, if you ingest your soul again, your memory will disappear, hehe, who else are you looking for?" β
The soulless man was frightened, jumped up, and said angrily: "No, no, it can't be like this, you can't do this, you said, let me find my daughter!" β
"But you didn't find it, how can you blame us?"
"No, no, you're liars, I'm going back now, give me back my soul!" The Lost Soul Man was frightened, angry and angry, and said, "You liars! β
Two flame-like eyes appeared in the cloak of the man in white, and the flames erupted from the eye sockets, and said with a smile: "Hmph, stupid guy, take a step here, and you won't think you can go back and surrender your soul obediently, hahahaha!" The man in white stretched out his almost transparent arm, and his five fingers were long and grabbed at the soulless man.
The Lost Soul bounced up like an electric shock and sped down the hill.
The flames of the earth consumed him instantly, but his body kept running downward.
A green soul broke away from his body in pain, completely absorbed by the palm of the man in white, leaving only the body on fire, and after a few steps forward, it fell into the swamp and slowly disappeared.
The man in white was very satisfied, clenched his fists tightly, and said, "With this person's soul, we are one step closer to our goal...... Now, it's your turn! β
He suddenly attacked, spread his palms, and a powerful suction force hit Akomaru and Suzuki.
Azimaru had already prepared, snorted coldly, and said, "This immortal has been prepared for a long time, and the clown-like trick dares to play in front of us!" Heaven and earth carry the power - five mountains in the pool! β
I saw that Azi Maru sacrificed a powerful heaven and earth Qiankun gossip, and a true vortex appeared in the middle, instantly raising the true as a grand height like the five mountains, and the entire hill was shrouded in his true aura.
There is no need for Suzuki to do it at all, and Akomaru's "Heaven and Earth" skill has suppressed the man in white to the point that he can't move a single step.
The man in white couldn't resist the powerful Zhenru, the white clothes suddenly tore away, and several ghostly shadows rushed out at the same time, attacking Azimaru, Azimaru had not yet seen the other party's face clearly, out of instinctive reaction, the lightning and flint launched a powerful Zhenru, both palms hit the comer at the same time, but heard the sharp sound of Gangqi colliding with them, and then several black monsters flew down the hill at high speed, inserted into the swamp, a few churning, the fire was raging, and it quickly regained calm.
Suzuki applauded: "Sure enough, it's the master, the shot is like lightning, and he solved them in an instant, I don't know what these things are, but it's a pity that I didn't have time to see their appearance just now." β
Ah Zi Maru was still apprehensive, and said: "Now it proves that my guess was not wrong from the beginning, and it is by no means simple here." The speed of these guys just now was beyond the limit of what I could react to, and judging from their strength, they should be at the minion level. β
Suzuki Qi said: "Didn't you easily deal with them?" β
Akomaru looked solemn and said, "At that moment, I felt terrified, but I used all my strength!" β
"What!?"
Suzuki held his chin and said, "So what the hell is this place?" β
Azimaru wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This should be one of the Eight Cold Forests!" We're in the realm of the Dead Forest! β
Suzuki's expression changed drastically, in the Wa Kingdom, the three words of corpse are a symbol of death and terror, and even the invincible poker legion, only one Xue Liduo wiped them out, but now he has entered their territory, and the situation is extremely dangerous.
Akomaru said: "I didn't interfere in the affairs of the corpse forest, but in Okuba Mountain, I have already offended Xue Liduo, and since Xue Liduo was subdued by that little monk, it will definitely shake the corpse forest." Now that we've broken into here, it looks like it's going to be hard to get out! β
Suzuki was very unhappy and said, "Hmph, what are you afraid of, you forget who I am!" If you want to conquer the world, what is a corpse forest afraid of! "Akomaru hopes that Suzuki can really be strong enough to fight against the corpse forest, and from Zhenru's point of view, the Zhenru of the ancient Yagami leader is indeed much stronger than him.
Just as they were hesitating, the two of them suddenly noticed that another man in white appeared beside them, and they didn't know when they escaped to the top of the hill.
The Lossless Beast roared, ready to strike at any moment.
The man in white was noticeably different from the previous ones, this man was tall and carried a lantern in his hand.
He applauded, his unkempt hair revealing under his cloak and covering his face.
"Very good, very good...... "He turned around, said no more, and walked forward.
After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped again, turned his face to look at the two of them, and walked on again.
The beast that rolled out of the swamp pounced on him, only to be shattered into fine ice crystals in an instant.
He walked all the way.
"He seems to be telling us something, no, he's calling me!" After Suzuki finished speaking, he instigated the Lossless Beast to run down the mountain.
Akomaru was nervous, so she had to follow.
