Chapter 9, The Cursed Hades
Chapter 9, The Cursed Hades
Everyone carefully looked at the blue-clothed young man in front of them, only to see that the blue-clothed young man's white face had a pair of light blue pupils, the black turban on his forehead was covered by eyebrow-length bangs, and he was wearing a dark blue costume night suit, and there were many incomprehensible black characters tattooed on the night clothes.
Lin Luxian and the others were stunned for a moment. They never imagined that there would be people here, and the black corpse stood beside him like a servant.
The young man in blue saw that the four people in front of him had no intention of retreating, and a white-spike double-edged spear appeared out of thin air in his clenched right hand. The spear was about two meters long, and had dagger-like blades at both ends, with no end to distinguish the head and tail, and a pinch of white spikes tied to the bottom of the blade. The young man in blue held a spear in his right hand and stepped forward towards Lin Luxian and the others.
Seeing this posture, Hong Xiaozhong hurriedly took out two short knives sixty centimeters long from his backpack, he threw one of them to Huang Xiaoli, and then the two of them threw away the leather scabbard on the knife almost at the same time, and then pointed the knife at the blue-clothed young man, and protected Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun, Lan Bingyun also clenched the whip in his hand and blocked in front of Lin Luxian.
Lan Bingyun said nervously, "This big brother, we don't mean to offend, we just came to look for someone." ”
The young man in blue continued to walk forward and said, "It's ridiculous to find someone to find me in the Ancient Underworld!"
Lan Bingyun and the four of them were taken aback! The other three people should not know about the Desolate Ancient Underworld, but when Lan Bingyun was a child, he had heard the clansmen say that in the constant temperature space two thousand meters deep underground, there was a mysterious Desolate Ancient Underworld. The Desolate Ancient Netherworld is good at finding out the news, and their eyeliner is also all over the Liaozhou Continent, if there are a hundred major events that have happened on the Liaozhou Continent, then they Hades know at least ninety-eight of them!
Looking at the murderous young man in blue who was walking towards them, Lan Bingyun continued, "Big brother, don't get me wrong! ”
The young man in blue still didn't stop, "Heh, aren't you here to hunt for treasures, let me try your skills first!" After saying that, the young man in blue quickly stepped forward and ran towards Lan Bingyun with a spear!
Hong Xiaozhong clenched the knife in his hand and said, "Since you kid is unreasonable, then don't blame us for being ruthless! Huang Xiaoli, follow me! him!"
I saw Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli running towards the blue-clothed young man one after another, and then the three of them fought together! Hong Xiaochong and Huang Xiaoli attacked the blue-clothed young man from two directions with knives, while the blue-clothed young man was not in a hurry, holding the double-edged spear in his hand with both hands to face the battle. The spear in the hand of the blue-clothed young man seemed to be specially designed to restrain Hong and Huang, he held the spear in both hands, while perfectly resisting the attack of Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli, and on the other hand, he also quickly turned the spear in his hand, turning defense into attack! Not only could Hong and Huang not get close, but also forced the two to retreat again and again! And Hong and Huang were also sweating all over, and there was no chill at all.
The young man in blue saw that Hong and Huang couldn't resist and retreated, he didn't intend to give the two a chance to breathe, he strengthened his offensive, waved the double-edged spear in his hand more vigorously, and used the characteristics of the double-edged spear that could attack at both ends, and continuously attacked Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli from multiple directions up and down, left and right, and his moves were, shooting, scratching, cutting, picking, stabbing, twisting, etc., this flip action down, the knife in Huang Xiaoli's hand was not only picked off, but also his right arm was scratched!
Lan Bingyun saw that Hong Xiaochong and the others couldn't resist the attack of the young man in blue, and she couldn't take care of Lin Luxian, so she threw down the blanket on her body and rushed forward to help Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli.
When Lan Bingyun ran to Hong Xiaozhong's side, Hong Xiaozhong had already been stabbed in the shoulder with a spear and fell to the ground!
The whip wielded in Lan Bingyun's hand was like a churning dragon, and for a while the blue-clothed young man couldn't get close, and the weapon was really an inch long and an inch strong! Lin Luxian took the opportunity to drag Hong Xiaozhong, who had fallen to the ground, into the distance and held down the wound on his shoulder.
The blue-clothed young man saw the opportunity, held the spear spike at the end of the spear with his right hand, and swept the spear forward! His spear blade entangled the front end of Lan Bingyun's whip! Seeing that the situation was not good, Lan Bingyun immediately took a few steps back and tightened the whip! And the blue-clothed young man also clenched the double-edged spear in his hand with both hands and pulled it hard! The sharp spear blade cut off the front end of Lan Bingyun's whip! Lan Bingyun didn't stand firm and almost fell!
Huang Xiaoli, who was curled up on the ground, also covered his stomach at this moment and crawled towards Lin Luxian with difficulty. Seeing this, the young man in blue wanted to get rid of Huang Xiaoli first, so he strode forward and ran towards Huang Xiaoli. Lan Bingyun hurriedly showed the wings on his back, flew to Huang Xiaoli's side one step in advance, and flew away with Huang Xiaoli in his arms! The young man in blue also looked panicked, and sighed in his heart, "I thought that the Huamu Spirit Clan had all died in that war, but I didn't expect that there was still a survivor!"
Lan Bingyun hugged Huang Xiaoli, flew to Lin Luxian, and then gently put Huang Xiaoli down. The blue-clothed young man not far away was not in a hurry, getting closer and closer, and the black corpse also followed behind him.
Lin Luxian looked at the blue-clothed young man who was getting closer and closer, he stood up and took a few steps forward and shouted to the blue-clothed young man, "That's enough! You're not done! You don't welcome us, let's just go!" As for killing them all!" The blue-clothed young man said coldly, "How can you come and leave as you want to come and leave as you want!"
Lan Bingyun held the whip that had been interrupted in his hand and blocked in front of Lin Luxian, and said to Lin Luxian, "Run! I'll hold him back, buy you more time to survive!" Lin Luxian instantly felt that this sentence was familiar, he remembered, Huo Qibing also said such things before he died! Lin Luxian didn't want to run away anymore, and he didn't want to watch his companion die in front of his eyes anymore, not to mention that what was standing in front of him now was his most beloved girl!
Lin Luxian dragged Lan Bingyun behind him with all his might: "No, you can escape! You can fly! You can't die for a cowardly and incompetent person like me! It's not worth it!"
Looking at the parting of life and death in front of him, the young man in blue also began to become impatient, "Don't do this in front of my eyes, I'm sick and about to vomit! If you have anything to say, you can say it again in your next life!" After finishing speaking, the young man in blue ran over and stabbed Lin Luxian with a spear! Lan Bingyun hurriedly pushed Lin Luxian away and pushed Lin Luxian to the ground.
After the blue-clothed young man stabbed his spear into the air, he was about to stab Lin Luxian on the ground again, but the spear in his hand was entangled by Lan Bingyun's whip.
Lan Bingyun begged and said, "You kill me, let him go!" The young man in blue sneered, "Don't worry!
Lan Bingyun immediately knelt in front of the blue-clothed young man and put down the whip in his hand. The blue-clothed young man also put down the spear he raised, and he stepped on Lin Luxian's head, "Interesting, the Flower Wood Spirit Clan actually likes the Human Race! It seems that you still don't know what happened back then, right?"
Lan Bingyun knelt on the ground and said, "I beg you to let him go!
The young man in blue kicked Lin Luxian away from his feet. Lin Luxian, who was kicked a few meters away, covered his stomach and groaned in pain... Immediately afterwards, the young man in blue said to Lan Bingyun, "Okay! Since you are bent on death, I will kill you first! Let you go to see your clansmen! I will spare this person you like!" Then the young man in blue clenched his spear with both hands and raised it high, aiming at Lan Bingyun who was kneeling in front of him, ready to stab down!
At this critical moment, a thought flashed in Lin Luxian's heart, he really had no choice!
The cold spear tip in front of Lan Bingyun's neck stopped instantly! Lan Bingyun's neck was punctured by only a fraction of a second.
The young man in blue walked up to Lin Luxian and picked Lin Luxian up from the ground with one hand, "What did you say? Say it again!" Lin Luxian's heart was instantly relieved, he squeezed out a smile in pain, and shouted, "Bingyun! The person you are looking for is him! ”
The young man in blue was even more angry, grabbed Lin Luxian's collar and shook Lin Luxian vigorously, "What are you laughing at!
Lan Bingyun ran over to the blue-clothed young man and said, "You put him down first, we are our own people!"
Then, Lan Bingyun told the young man in blue the dream that he and Lin Luxian often had, and after the young man in blue listened, he put Lin Luxian down, sat on the ground and thought about it, and the spear in his hand disappeared.
Lan Bingyun helped Lin Luxian up from the ground, picked up the blanket he had just thrown on the ground and wrapped it around his body, and then asked the young man in blue, "What about you? What layer of the tower did you enter in your dream?"
"We Hades don't need to sleep, so we don't dream. But sometimes a scene pops up in my mind, and it's the tall cylindrical tower you're talking about. My instincts told me that I was entering the tenth floor of the tower, which was crawling with green poisonous insects like centipedes. The young man in blue looked at Lan Bingyun and said
Lan Bingyun asked the name of the young man in blue again, and the young man in blue said, "Just one word, Xiao!" Lin Luxian also said curiously, "Xiao? Lan Bingyun then sighed, "I didn't expect that the person we were looking for was actually you, it was really dangerous just now, we were almost all killed by you... Then Lan Bingyun introduced everyone to Xiao.
After a while, Lin Luxian asked Xiao, "Since you are the person we are looking for, are you willing... ”
Without waiting for Lin Luxian to finish speaking, Xiao hurriedly replied, "I am willing, please bring me, just like Lan Bingyun said, if you gather five people, you can awaken the legendary god, and when the time comes, the curse on my body may be lifted!"
Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun said at the same time, "Curse, what curse?"
Xiao talked about the strange curse on his body, "Since I was born, I have been different from other people... We Hades are supposed to be illusory bodies. Except for our own race, other races can't touch our illusory bodies at all, and they can't hurt us! And we Hades can't touch other races either, but the weapons in our hands can hurt other races, which is what our race can be most proud of compared to other races! That is, with this unique racial advantage, our Hades can even compete with the powerful Zhongtian God Race when they are at their strongest! And I, on the other hand, am entities, just like you... I don't know what curse I have fallen into, my people discriminate against me, alienate me, and see me as a stranger... Later, I had to stay away from my people and come to this border land alone... ”
After Lan Bingyun and Lin Luxian heard this, they were also very sympathetic to Xiao, Lan Bingyun touched Xiao's hand, and sure enough, like himself, it was an entity that could be touched. It's just that Xiao's hands are cold and have no temperature.
Lin Luxian didn't know how to comfort Xiao, but he suddenly thought that there were two more injured people! He saw that Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli not far away had already fallen asleep and were sweating profusely, so he shouted "Not good!" and ran to Hong Huang's side.
Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli were already injured, but now they fainted, the more Lin Luxian thought about it, the more wrong it became, he touched the foreheads of the two of them one after another, and found that the foreheads of the two were hot and hot! Lin Luxian turned his head and looked at Lan Bingyun helplessly, "What should I do?" They were already seriously injured, and now they have a fever again!"
Xiao suddenly thought of something, "Oh no! I forgot, the blades of my spears are coated with poison, and they are afraid that they will not be able to return to the sky... ”
Lin Luxian couldn't accept this fact! As soon as he met a new partner, he was about to lose two old partners!
Lan Bingyun hurriedly asked anxiously, "Don't you have an antidote?"
Xiao lowered his head, "I'm sorry... I don't have an antidote ... The venom of the scorpion among them is extracted from the tail of the black scorpion, and the antidote to this poison is only available to the high priest of the underworld, and the ordinary underworld people are not qualified to see the high priest at all, especially the cursed underworld like me... And if you go to the high priest, even if you ride on the black abyss wolf of our underworld, it will take three or four days! But those who fall for the poison of the scorpion will die of poison in less than half a day... So, I'm really sorry ... I can't help them detoxify... ”
Lan Bingyun looked at the poisoned Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli, and couldn't stop crying... She didn't expect that this would be the ending now, if Lan Bingyun had to choose, whether to choose Xiao or Hong Huang, Lan Bingyun would not hesitate to choose the latter! Even if her mission could not be completed! But the facts were in front of them, they could only watch Hong and Huang slowly die of poison and die in pain...
Lin Luxian was also very sad, he put his hand on Hong Xiaozhong's injured shoulder, and said to Hong Xiaozhong, who was unconscious, "Brother, it's really hard for you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to find the person we were looking for... You guys, go in peace!" After finishing speaking, he lay on Hong Xiaozhong's body and cried in a low voice, while his right hand was always pressed on Hong Xiaozhong's injured shoulder. Lan Bingyun also choked in a low voice on the side, and Xiao also kept his head down, like a child who had done something wrong.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Luxian's ears heard Hong Xiaozhong's weak voice, "Brother Lin, can you get up from me? ”
Lin Luxian was so frightened that he hurriedly got up from Hong Xiaozhong and took a few steps back. Lan Bingyun also stopped crying, and her eyes widened with curiosity.
But the most curious thing should be Xiao! He stepped forward and stood beside Hong Xiaochong and observed incredibly, Hong Xiaochong saw the young man in blue, and got up from the ground nervously! Lan Bingyun hurriedly explained, "Don't be nervous, it was a misunderstanding just now, he is Xiao, and he is one of the people we are looking for!"
Xiao asked Lin Luxian incredulously, "This, this is impossible! How did you do it? You actually solved the scorpion poison!"
Lin Luxian also felt strange and looked at his right hand. The wound on Hong Xiaochong's shoulder stopped bleeding and began to recover quickly.
Lan Bingyun walked up to Lin Luxian's side and looked left and right, and said excitedly, "You really have a lot of potential! It turns out that I really underestimate you! I didn't expect that your hands can not only heal wounds, but also detoxify!"
Hearing Lan Bingyun say this, Lin Luxian suddenly felt that his weight in the team had become very important, if a team had to go through hardships all the way, then a doctor like him would definitely be indispensable in the team!
Lin Luxian hurriedly stood beside Huang Xiaoli again and pressed his hand on his injured stomach.
Not long after, Huang Xiaoli woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao looking at him curiously! Huang Xiaoli was startled, and quickly turned his head to the right, and on the right, the black dried corpse was also looking at him curiously! Huang Xiaoli screamed and fainted again...
Lin Luxian, who was squatting on Huang Xiaoli's left, hurriedly looked at Xiao, stepped back a few meters in a witty manner, and called the black dry corpse behind him. Then Lin Luxian pressed Huang Xiaoli's chest again, gave Huang Xiaoli artificial respiration, and pinched others, and was busy for a while...
Hong Xiaozhong was a little helpless, and said to Xiao, "People have pets like cats, dogs, or something, and you're too heavy-mouthed... Raising dried corpses!"
Xiao also sighed helplessly, "Hey, there's no way, it's boring to stay here alone." ”
Ten minutes later, Huang Xiaoli was awakened by Lin Luxian again, Huang Xiaoli saw Lin Luxian in front of him, and instantly felt relaxed, "Brother Lin, I'm so happy to see you!"
Lin Luxian helped Huang Xiaoli up from the ground, Huang Xiaoli looked around left and right, Hong Xiaochong was standing not far from Lan Bingyun, the two were smiling and greeting themselves at the moment, and behind Lan Bingyun stood a blue-clothed young man and a black corpse! Huang Xiaoli hurriedly reminded Lan Bingyun loudly, "Lan Bingyun!
Lan Bingyun looked back and said, "Don't be afraid, they are in the same group as us now!"
Then everyone told Huang Xiaoli the ins and outs of the matter, and Huang Xiaoli understood the truth of the matter. Xiao also explained to Huang Xiaoli, "Don't look at this pet of mine is scary, but it has never hurt anyone, right, it is just more interested in strangers, besides, he is the treasure in the Heavenly Sacred Palace!"
Seeing that everyone was very puzzled, Xiao went on to talk about this black dried corpse, "It's called Ah Tan, don't look at it as a dry corpse, but it has a lot of functions, it is a treasure all over its body! You look at its hair, you can make tea, drink it to cure kidney deficiency and yang impotence! Cure it radically! Look at its teeth, crystal clear, can be made into bracelets, the color is not worse than mutton fat jade! Then you look at his nails, grind it into powder and apply it to the face to remove wrinkles! And this... Lan Bingyun and the four of them were disgusted when they heard this, and hurriedly stopped him, "Okay, don't say it, we understand, we understand!
Hong Xiaozhong also remembered, in the desert before, when he had just climbed in through the window of the Tianchong Holy Palace to open the door for Lin Luxian and them, a cool breeze swept behind him, presumably it was this black dry corpse Ah Tan!
Then, Xiao took Lin Luxian and the four of them to start returning, and they were about to return to the Tianchong Holy Palace and return to the ground.
On the way, everyone had too many questions to ask Xiao, Lan Bingyun took the lead in pulling Xiao aside and asked, "When I knelt in front of you just now, you mentioned the incident back then." When I was young, I only remember that my parents hid me in a hollow tree, and then there was a sound of fighting nearby, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to come out to see, and when it got dark, there was silence all around, and I crept out of the hole in the tree, only to find that my people had been killed... Xiao, do you know the truth back then, can you tell me? Who killed our people? This is very important to me!"
He wanted to speak and stopped, he secretly glanced at Lin Luxian behind him, and said, "Just now, I was talking nonsense just now, just thinking, just wanting to be cool... ”
"Really, don't you Hades know a lot of things?" Lan Bingyun was visibly disappointed
"Yes, we know a lot of things, but this is the only thing, I, I really don't know, not to mention that I've been here alone for so long, and the news is closed... Xiao looked away from Lan Bingyun, obviously lying
At this time, Lin Luxian came over and asked Xiao, "What is the purpose of the Chongsheng Palace this day?"
Xiao replied, "The Tianchong Holy Palace existed before I was formed, and it was equivalent to a post house at that time. At that time, the uninhabited area of Xianzang was not the desert now, but a gathering place of cultural exchange centers. At that time, many caravans from ancient countries came from all directions, and they must have passed through the current no-man's land, and they all had to stop and rest in the Tianchong Holy Palace. Caravans from various countries traded goods and food with each other in the Tianchong Sacred Palace, exchanging cultural traditions, customs, and languages. On the walls of the Tianchong Sacred Palace, there are scenes of merchants from various countries trading and exchanging, and you can take a closer look when you go up... However, later, due to the war, the caravans of various countries no longer passed through the Tianchong Sacred Palace, and the Tianchong Sacred Palace gradually declined and was eroded by the wind and sand. Finally, on this day, the Chongsheng Palace was transformed into a tool to the ground by our people, which is equivalent to an elevator in your modern parlance. ”
Hong Xiaozhong asked curiously, "Before you were formed, how old are you now, I think you are about twenty years old!"
Xiao shook his head, "I'm already two hundred and ten years old, which is equivalent to your current twenty-one years old, and our Hades people have a relatively long lifespan, with an average lifespan of about eight hundred to one thousand two hundred years." ”
"What!" the four of them shouted these two words almost at the same time, and then looked up and down around Xiao, as if they were looking at animals in a zoo, and Xiao Xiao was uncomfortable for a while.
At this time, Huang Xiaoli asked again, "You Hades people have such a long life, you must be very powerful!"
Xiao sighed, "Yes, it's quite powerful, second only to the Zhongtian God Clan, and on par with the Demon Clan." ”
Hong Xiaozhong hurriedly said, "Is it so strong, second only to the Protoss?
Xiao sighed again, "I'm cursed, because the body is an entity, and I can't use all the spells that many underworld people are born with, and I'm only invisible now... ”
Lin Luxian was surprised, "It's a cow to be invisible!
Xiao immediately knelt down on one knee and slapped his right hand the ground! His body turned into a cloud of blue smoke and disappeared, and then not far away, Xiao appeared from the blue fog again.
Huang Xiaoli exclaimed, "What kind of fairy teammates have I been all the way! I'm so envious!" Hong Xiaozhong was also full of envy, "Hey, up to now, I feel that Huang Xiaoli and I are two ordinary people... ”
Lin Luxian hurriedly said to Hong and Huang, "What's wrong with ordinary people? If it weren't for you two ordinary people, would Lan Bingyun and I still be able to find Xiao?"
Lan Bingyun thought of Xiao, but felt strange, in the dream, the blue-skinned man in the twelve-story tower had said that no man's land and flames, but except for the fire on the way, there has never been a person or thing related to fire since then... Could it be that finding Xiao was a mistake? And the person who is really looking for something related to flames is someone else?
Lan Bingyun asked Xiao, "Now in this no-man's land, are there any people related to fire?"
Xiao thought for a while, "Yes, there is a nation that worships fire in the no-man's land, it is the human race! ”
