Shrek Academy,

In the boys' dormitory,

Lying on the bed, Xu Ran tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

It's not because of Oscar's snoring, nor because of Dai Mubai's grinding teeth, but tonight, including the previous attacks, makes him feel palpitations every time he thinks about it.

At present, his strength is invincible in the Soul Sect and the Soul King, and even an ordinary Soul Emperor can fight.

But he knows in his heart that he has always had two Achilles' heels,

One is poison,

The other is a psychic attack.

Although the blood of the star spirit can detoxify, it can only solve the urgent need, not a long-term solution.

Besides, he doesn't have a special habit of drinking human blood.

As for spiritual attacks, he is close to zero immunity, and opponents of the same level may not have to worry, but if the opponent's soul power is too much higher than his own, once he is hit, he will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered.

"Since I've been allowed to cross over, why can't you give me a divine body similar to the Calamity Poison Body?"

"Could it be that God saw me as too perfect and deliberately left me a test?"

"Hey, that's a big head."

Xu Ran muttered to himself, and suddenly felt a burst of warmth from the jade pendant on his chest, and before he could lift his clothes to check, a majestic force surged up from all around, wrapping his body tightly.

It was like grabbing a stone and throwing it hard, Xu Ran felt that he was like that stone at the moment, obviously there was a hard wooden bed under him, but he could clearly feel that his body was falling rapidly.

The wind whistling in my ears and the boundless darkness in front of me.

Poof!

Xu Ran's back came into contact with something hard, and he subconsciously touched it with his hand to confirm that he had landed.

Xu Ran got up and patted the dust on his clothes, looking around curiously.

In the distance, a dim candle flame was tightly wrapped in boundless darkness, and the gusts of dark wind in my ears were sharp and intermittent, as if mixed with the screams and wails of thousands of ghosts.

After trying it, his soul power can be mobilized, which is good news for him.

He didn't stay in place for too long, and with doubts, Xu Ran walked towards the candle flame with steady steps.

The candle flame in the distance has been emitting a faint light, and at this moment it is as lasting and eternal as the sun in the sky, no matter how strong the wind is and how thick the darkness is, it burns straight without the slightest wavering.

Soon came to the candle flame, Xu Ran found that this was actually a somewhat hideous firearm.

One end was attached to the wall, and the outstretched part was bent at an upward right angle, dragging the head of a fanged ghost.

There was a cluster of flames in the center of the skull, and I didn't notice any combustibles around it, and the flames burned out of thin air, which was magical.

With the help of the faint light of the fire, Xu Ran found a crack in the door on the left side, and he tried to push the door open, and what greeted him was a new world that he had never seen before.

Dark clouds piled up in the sky, and a blood moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, revealing only a third of its body.

The color of the dark clouds is dark and light, constantly changing various shapes under the blowing of the yin wind, and the lightning and thunder inside the dark clouds reflect the hideous and twisted ghost shadows.

After watching quietly for a moment, Xu Ran withdrew his gaze and stepped onto the only rugged path in front of him.

The further you go, the darkness around you fades and the scenery becomes clearer.

It was a barren clearing, with clouds of dust kicked up by the wind, and the occasional crooked-necked tree and a few scratched boulders were erratically rooted in the desert, making it not look particularly bleak.

After walking for about two teas, Xu Ran finally saw other living creatures other than himself, and the number was so large that he couldn't see the edge at a glance.

On a very spacious road in front of them, dense crowds of people lined up and moved forward slowly, all of them lowered their heads one by one, and followed behind the previous person very consciously, and few sounds came out, giving people a feeling of lifelessness.

Xu Ran walked quickly to the side of the road, and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

They looked at Xu Ran with curiosity, surprise, and fear.

But no one stopped.

Xu Ran wanted to grab someone and ask what this place was, but before he could speak, a huge stone tablet diagonally opposite attracted his attention.

He deliberately bypassed the crowd and came to the stone monument.

When he got closer, the stele was even taller than he imagined, about ten meters high, with scratches on the surface, and he didn't know how many years it had existed.

There are three large blood-red characters in the center, as if they have just been drawn with blood.

Huangquan Road!

Seeing this, Xu Ran was a little stunned, and his expression changed for the first time.

The word Huangquan means the place where the deceased live, that is, the meaning of the underworld, and the Huangquan Road is the only way to the underworld.

Do you say you're dead?

Otherwise, how could a living person come to the underworld?

If this is really an underworld, then these people ......

When I looked up with doubts, I saw that the crowd of people who were moving forward were all walking on tiptoe.

Among them was an old man who sighed,

There are weeping youths,

There are reluctant women,

Occasionally, a few finger-sucking children looked around curiously with wide eyes.

In order to confirm the guess in his heart, Xu Ran tried to call a young man wearing a Confucian crown, but no matter how loud he shouted, the other party did not respond.

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and wanted to pat the other party's shoulder, but his right hand unexpectedly passed through the other party's body, as if it was slapped into the air.

Now Xu Ran finally determined, these are ghosts in front of him, and the real Huangquan Road under his feet.

But I just slept in the dormitory of Shrek Academy, why did I come to the underworld?

And there are some essential differences between himself and these ghosts, if you look closely, you will find that the other party is a translucent spirit, and his body is real flesh and blood, and there is pain when he pinches it.

It is very likely that he came to the underworld as a living person.

But how did you get here?

Was it an accident?

Or is it ...... The purple jade pendant on the chest?

Suddenly recalling the abnormality of the purple jade pendant not long ago, Xu Ran felt that he could come here and probably had nothing to do with the purple jade pendant.

But what kind of jade pendant is this, it can actually allow itself to cross the two worlds of life and death.

And what is the purpose of bringing itself here?

For a while, countless questions arose in Xu Ran's heart.

Rustling!

The otherwise calm and orderly team of ghosts suddenly appeared in a commotion.

Xu Ran turned around to look, and just saw a few ghosts leaving the team and running frantically towards the darkness on the side of the road.

They looked in Xu Ran's direction while running wildly, with determination in their eyes, mixed with some fluke expectations.

Seeing someone running into the darkness, a large group of ghosts stopped and stared blankly in the direction of several people fleeing.

"Quack, quack!"

Not long after the ghosts ran inside, there was a seeping scream in the darkness, mixed with some crunchy bones.

The screaming lasted for about half a minute, after which silence returned.

Xu Ran was shocked, but the ghosts were not surprised by this.

They don't stop, walking like walking corpses.
