Chapter 2: The Mystery of the Underworld
"You're pretty brutal, but I don't see how big you are." Xiao Hei carried the giant axe on his shoulder, stepped on the ribs of the giant skeleton with his foot, stepped on it again, put the blade of the axe next to the skeleton's neck, and asked, "Say, why are you always following us?" ”
"Humph!" The skeleton snorted coldly and tilted its head to the side, "Don't you want your dead man's head anymore?" Hei continued to intimidate, and then slapped the huge skull with the blade of his axe.
Mu Yun walked over slowly with the boy in his arms, and said to the giant skeleton: "Hey, big man, I advise you to say it, otherwise my boy will eat you." ”
"By the way, don't you like to eat these dead ribs the most?" Xiao Hei squeezed his eyes, and then pointed at the skeleton with his hand, "I'll break it and feed you, okay?" ”
Tsai Tsai was also bolder at this time, jumped out of Mu Yun's arms, and his body gradually became dozens of times larger, although it was not as huge as Xiao Hei's, but it was still easy to eat this skeleton.
"Wow!" Tsai Tsai stared at the skeleton lying on the ground with excitement on his face, "It turns out that it will become delicious when it gets bigger!" The three dogs stuck their tongues out, and their saliva kept dripping down as if they were about to eat a big meal.
"Hey, hey!" The skeleton was a little scared now, "Don't eat me!" I'm not your flesh and bones! ”
"If you don't want to be eaten, say it!" Xiao Hei shouted angrily.
"I'm just a guard guarding the gates of the Temple of the Dead," the skeleton replied, "I thought you were going to the Temple of the Dead, so I've had my eye on you since you came." ”
"Temple of the Dead?" Mu Yun was confused by what it said, "Why have I never heard of it?" ”
"I've been guarding this place for nine hundred and ninety-nine years," said the skeleton, "and in a few days, I'll be able to go home for a thousand years." ”
"Where is your home?" Mu Yun asked again.
"My home is in the underworld, and the Temple of the Dead is the only way from the human world to the underworld," the skeleton explained, "Our duty is to prevent the creatures of the underworld from escaping to the human world, nor allowing people to enter the underworld, and for thousands of years, there have been many creatures from the underworld and humans who want to enter the underworld, but almost all of them have been killed by us, and the creatures we killed, as atonement, will make them become undead guarding the temple, so over time, this place has become a canyon of the dead." ”
"If you want to say that the creatures of the underworld want to come to the world, I can still understand it, but what is there in the underworld? Why do so many people want to go in? Mu Yun looked very curious.
"The concentration of aura in the underworld is ten times that of the human world, so the speed of cultivation in the underworld is also ten times that of the human world," the skeleton replied, "Those people want to enter the underworld, just to improve their cultivation, and then return to the human world to dominate, and it is easy to enter the underworld, but it is very difficult to come out." ”
"Did anyone succeed?" Mu Yun asked again.
"In these thousands of years, only two people have succeeded." Skull Road.
"Is one of them called Hankson?" Mu Yun suddenly said.
"How do you know the way?" The skeleton turned its head curiously to look at Mu Yun, "The other one is called Norman, and it is said that he is the leader of the Freedom Alliance now. ”
Mu Yun nodded, and then said curiously: "I want to ask you another question, your strength is so poor, how did you kill those who want to enter the underworld?" ”
"Little girl, do you think people hundreds of years ago were as perverted as you? Not to mention reaching the Heavenly Domain at a young age, he also brought two Heavenly Domain Holy Beasts, two! It's unreasonable! The skeleton sighed at the changes in the world, and then showed a proud look on his face, and said: "Most of the people who came before were only the peak strength of the region, only Hankson and Norman were just entering the Heavenly Domain, and I am also a beginner-level martial saint, and it is not easy to kill people from a few regions?" And most of the creatures that came out of the underworld were beaten to death by the guards over there, so it would be easier to kill them. ”
"That's just as well!" Mu Yun looked up at Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, you let him go." Little Black let go of the dragon's feet that were stepping on the skeleton, and the skeleton slowly stood up.
"We are passing through here, and by the way, we will practice my undead summoning technique," Mu Yun explained, "I don't know what the matter of the temple is at all, and I am not interested in running to the underworld, the environment of the underworld must be very poor, otherwise why would those creatures want to run to the human world?" She waved at the skeleton and said, "Alright, you continue to be your guard, we still have to hurry, Xiao Hei, Tsai, let's go." With that, Mu Yun took a step forward and walked forward.
"You're really not going?" The giant skeleton still didn't quite believe it.
Mu Yun didn't turn around, he only stretched out his right arm to Lu, then waved his hand, and said loudly: "See you again, Aman, when I have had enough of playing on the Shengluo Continent, I will go to your underworld to play." ”
Ah Man scratched the skull with his hand, and the flames in the two blue eyes kept flickering, as if he couldn't understand what Mu Yun was doing, "Hey, little girl," Ah Man shouted, "Tell you a secret, if a person dies, if he enters the underworld within seven days and finds his soul, he can still be resurrected, and the entrance to the temple is on the top of that mountain." As he spoke, he pointed to the highest mountain on his right.
"Why are you telling me this?" Mu Yun suddenly turned to look at Aman, Aman scratched his head again, and said very puzzledly: "Yes, why would I tell you this?" In the dark, there seemed to be a voice in Ah Man's subconscious that drove him to do so.
"However, Xie Lu still thanks you, Aman!" Mu Yun smiled and said, "Maybe, I'll really go to your underworld to have a look." ”
Mu Yun took Xiao Hei and Zai Zai to find a mountain to rest for the night, in order to ensure safety, she summoned two distractions to keep vigil for them, this night Mu Yun had a lot of dreams, dreaming of her parents, and some things when she was a child, when she woke up, she found that her collar was soaked with tears.
"Brothers, pay attention to defense!" In the early morning, Mu Yun had just woken up, and she heard a shout from the valley in the distance, she flew into the air, and looked from afar, only to see hundreds of undead in the gloomy valley surrounding more than twenty mercenaries, the formation of the mercenaries was very familiar, and the defense and offense were well coordinated, Mu Yun was curious, so he flew towards the valley.
A wave of attacking undead was cut down to the ground, and another wave continued to make up, the mercenaries retreated to the foot of the mountain while fighting, and there were more and more undead in the valley, from time to time some zombies or skeletons emerged from the ground, they held different and identical ancient weapons in their hands, and their eyes flashed with a strange green light, slowly approaching the mercenaries at the foot of the mountain.
"Brothers of the Fire Wolf!" The voice sounded again just now, "We can't complete this mission, but we must fight our way out!" Listen to my command, everyone is ready to break through to the north, and no brother is left behind! ”
"Yes!" The mercenaries responded in unison.
