Chapter 161: The Skull Tree
"You're right, but not quite."
Ye Xiaomu took a look at the place where the boat was located and continued: "The disappearance of the people was done by the catfish monsters, but their purpose is also to supply the evil spirits on the island. ”
"Well, Lord Mu is right." Master Sanssouci and some other alchemists came over after inspecting the ship.
"Master, can you explain?" Peng Ziran asked.
"The poor monks have also seen it, and there are indeed traces of ghosts on the bed, but because there are monks on the boat, they don't dare to do it themselves, so they let these catfish monsters drag people into the water and suck them."
"That's right, the reason why you don't kill people directly is because absorbing fresh living souls makes them stronger than dead souls." Yang Daogu said with some concern.
"In that case, the ghosts on this island are much more powerful than the ones out there." Another Fang priest said with a calm face.
"So we need to be quick and leave as soon as we find something, and don't stay here for long."
"Well, after all, this is not the territory of our human world, and it will soon be dark, and the time difference between outside and here is also different, the night is long and short here, and we only have half a day."
After listening to the analysis of the masters, the people present also knew that they could not waste any more time, took the contents of the ship, and rushed to the place where the palace was found.
As soon as the group left, all the boats behind them disappeared.
……
The underworld
A group of ghosts were suspended in mid-air, and in the middle, eight little ghosts carried a brown-red sedan chair and flew forward.
"How long will it take?" Shenchen asked impatiently.
"Ghost King, you've asked more than a hundred times, and you also know that our side and the Hades Island are simply two extreme places, and it takes a long time to come and go, and your old man doesn't want to use ghost power to go over first, but he keeps asking." A ghost said helplessly.
"Li Zhong, how did you speak? If it weren't for the love you have had with me for so many years, Lao Tzu would have let you go to the eighteenth layer of hell for a 'fun'. Hades said impatiently.
He also wanted to go over immediately, but after so many years, I don't know if that guy's strength has risen, if he goes by himself, if something happens, hell will be in chaos, and he still can't take this risk.
Besides, the little ghosts below also came back to announce, among the people who went there were the five statues of the human world, and there were also Fangshi, although those guys were not very strong, but the rotten ship still had three points of nails, how could it be used.
It's just that he is still a little uneasy in his heart.
Actually, for Ye Xiaomu, he didn't have that kind of idea, but he didn't know why, he just didn't want her to have an accident, especially he didn't want to make the man he didn't see sad, he always had a feeling that that that person had some connection with him, but he couldn't remember it.
"Lord Ghost King, I was wrong, you don't care about the villain, I'll let people hurry up now, okay?"
The ghost, surnamed Li, immediately walked to the front and asked the other imps to add up the speed.
……
In the shadows of Hades Island, a one-eyed monitor lizard was revealed, secretly staring at Ye Xiaomu and his party.
When they were gone, the cyclops retreated into the shadows.
The place Ye Xiaomu and the others passed by were full of corpse remains, white bones were scattered on the ground at random, and the whole island looked like a mass grave.
Ling Xiao nervously pulled Peng Ziran's hand as he walked, not daring to let go.
"Oh my God, this place is too terrifying, even more terrifying than what I saw in the battlefield before, I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel a little cold, and there seem to be many pairs of eyes staring at us..." Ling Xiao looked up and down, left and right with his eyes.
"You're thinking too much, it's daytime, and although the sky doesn't shine directly from the sun, there's still light, and there shouldn't be anything dirty at this time.". Peng Ziran comforted.
"You don't want to think about it, when we first came here, there was some sun outside, but since we stepped into this forest, the sky has been much darker, and it wouldn't be surprising if some scary dirt suddenly came out at this time." Ling Xiao said again.
"If you're afraid, follow the masters." Mu Qianfan said a little speechlessly.
Although Mu Qianfan has never dealt with ghosts, he also knows something, so he is not too frightened, besides, he is a demon venerable, is he still afraid of his little ghosts? Less words.
If he hadn't walked too hurriedly when he came out, and he only had a gadget like a magic stone on his body, he would have brought the big guy in the storeroom, no matter what kind of evil ghost he was, he would have been able to clean it up in a few clicks.
"Walk a little faster, and you can already see the shadow of the palace." Said one of the generals who took the lead.
So, the traveler increased his speed again.
After a while, a dilapidated palace appeared in front of me, far from the one in the underworld.
There are many gaps in the outer wall of the palace, all the products in the palace are all dry, there are many dead trees around the palace, and there are all kinds of skulls hanging on the trees, among which there is a particularly large dead tree closest to the palace gate, and there are many white bones hanging on the tree.
Moreover, the surrounding dead trees will be blown by a strange wind from time to time, and the sound is particularly gloomy on the isolated island.
The first time Ling Xiao saw the white bones on the dead tree, he was almost frightened and fainted.
"Your mother, I'm scared to death. Sure enough, it's a ghost place, on this tree, there are thousands of sets of white bones, whether they are babies or big round, some of them look like they are still a little flesh and blood, and I don't know if the surrounding people accidentally fell into it. Ling Xiao said as he pressed his chest.
"Aren't you afraid? How can you still see it so clearly? Mu Qianfan sneered.
"I'm just afraid to see a little more clearly, if I don't touch it for a long time, it's not good?" Ling Xiao explained.
"That's a good thing you say." Mu Qianfan said with some admiration.
"Don't laugh at him, he's just a child, it's normal to be afraid, and if you look at some soldiers in the back, aren't your legs shaking?"
After listening to Su Rinye's words, Mu Qianfan looked at some of the soldiers who followed behind him, and sure enough, some of the soldiers' legs were not very neat.
How to say it, if they go to the battlefield to fight, they don't feel terrible when they face people, but they know that they have to face ghosts, a kind of strange things that they have never seen before, but they have heard a lot, and it is still terrifying for the unknown, even if it is the corpse wreckage on the battlefield they face, they have not entered the horror of the underworld.
When they reached the palace gate, the crowd stopped.
The palace gate is flanked by two stone sculptures of ghosts with horns on their heads, protruding eyes, pointed teeth, and a tail like a snake's tail underneath their bodies, holding a fork in one hand and a skull in the other.
"These two statues are quite scary, no wonder the soldiers who are exploring the path are so frightened that they can't even walk the way." Mu Qianfan said.
"Well, let's go inside."
After Ye Xiaomu finished speaking, he just wanted to push the door open with his hand, but Mo Chen had already taken a step towards her and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of the dead trees became louder, and the sky darkened as if it had been blocked by dark clouds.
"Oh no, it looks like it's been discovered, let's get the fire lit."
After Master Sanssouci finished speaking, he took out a piece of rune paper with him, and recited words in his mouth, and after a while, a fire rose, and other monks also took out rune paper and lit a fire.
Ye Xiaomu and Mo Chen also used their own fire, and in the originally dark night, it was like being lit last time, and it was lit again.
"We're going to get in and find it as soon as possible." Ye Xiaomu said worriedly.
"Well, a few of us and some of the Fang Shi masters can go in, and the others will stay here and wait, and if they find that the situation is not right, they can go back to the shore first. Remember, be sure to protect yourself. Su Rin Ye said solemnly.
"Yes!"
Before Ye Xiaomu and the others left, they asked the master to set up an enchantment outside to protect the people waiting outside.
After all the people who entered walked in, there were countless flames floating in the air in the originally dark hall, and you could roughly see the things in the entire hall.
"It's so big, but there's too much ash." Ling Xiao gently wiped the dust from a palace lamp standing on the side and said.
"Are you just going to touch what's inside?" Mu Qianfan asked with a smile.
"That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Ling Xiao felt that Mu Qianfan suddenly asked like this, feeling strange.
"Aren't you afraid that these are not ordinary ashes, but human ashes?"
"Click!"
Ling Xiao suddenly felt that his hand had been bitten by something, and something was wrong with him.
"Ahh
Ling Xiao suddenly screamed, with a look of fear, but fortunately, Peng Ziran on the side was quick and immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Brother Xiao, if you call it like that, it will wake those things up." Peng Ziran said nervously.
"Didn't we get found out when we came in?" Ling Xiao asked puzzled.
"It's just some imps who found us, but when you scream like that, I'm afraid you'll make a noise with the Yakshas." Mu Qianfan held his forehead with one hand and said helplessly with the other.
When the words fell, the door that was originally opened suddenly closed by itself with a "bang".
The sound of the door closing startled everyone present.
Immediately afterward, it seemed that countless voices echoed in the air.
"What sound?" Ling Xiao's whole person shrank behind Peng Ziran.
Ye Xiaomu and Mo Chen's faces also sank, it seemed that the other party had already discovered them.
That means face-to-face negotiations.
"Who are you? Dare to come to my territory. ”
Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out in the air.
Just listening to the sound made me feel particularly harsh, and some low-ability alchemists had blood directly flowing out of their ears.
Even Peng Ziran and Ling Xiao both felt uncomfortable in their ears.
