Chapter 108: Death
A light mist gradually rose on the surface of the lake, which had been sunny and sunny. The fog grew thicker and thicker, until at last the crowd could not even see anything outside the ship.
Liuyun's brows tightened.
This feeling······
Suddenly, a short exclamation broke the somewhat oppressive silence.
Some warriors on the boat subconsciously followed the gaze of the screaming warrior.
As if they had seen something extremely terrifying, their bodies trembled, and some warriors were directly frightened and incontinent. For a moment, the ship was once again in a panic.
"Don't look. ”
The third child and the others closed their eyes the moment the riot broke out.
Liuyun's body was stunned at the moment when the warrior screamed, and the body that was about to turn back was pulled by the third child.
Hearing the wails of the warriors on the ship one after another, Liuyun sank down and slowly closed his eyes.
A yin wind blew in the face, and the wet mist lingered on the person's body, and the sticky touch made Liuyun's heart gradually overflow with a bad cold, and Liuyun's scalp was a little numb.
A deeply ominous premonition.
As the fog filled, Liuyun faintly heard a melodious copper bell from far and near. But where did the brass bells come from on the surface of this lake, which was empty and misty on all sides?
Liuyun was distracted.
As if it would interfere with people's thoughts, the next moment Liuyun heard the bell, many strange images flashed through his mind.
The flickering in the picture are those dreams that he could not wake up from in the middle of many nights.
Cold sweat broke out on Liuyun's forehead.
Subconsciously mobilize the spiritual power in the body, trying to block out those sonorous ringings from far and near.
"Eat it. ”
Just when Liuyun fell into a kind of consciousness struggle, the third man next to him stuffed a pill.
Taking the pill, Liuyun hesitated.
But seeing that the third child had swallowed the other pill he was holding in his hand, Liuyun simply ate it.
As if it melts in your mouth, the pill has no taste, and the moment the tip of your tongue touches the pill, it dissipates in Liuyun's mouth.
The ethereal yin qi on the ship is getting heavier and heavier.
Liuyun closed his eyes tightly.
Hearing the chaotic sound on the boat, the chill came from far and near, and Liuyun vaguely sensed that something should be on board.
The chill hit.
As if there were countless lonely ghosts floating around, the wind was filled with a cold wail, as if the undead had escaped from hell and were looking for souls to devour.
The chill came from far and near, Liuyun's eyes were closed, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Here it comes!
The sweat and hair of the clouds are upside down, and there is a chill all around. He was visibly aware of a sticky touch coming to his face, as if the devil was holding a fluffy feather and gently scraping Liuyun's body, making his scalp tingle.
But the touch came and went as quickly as it came, like a sticky gust of wind passing through the hall. The clouds did not dissipate for a while, and then they dissipated.
It was as if he had found some target, and in the next moment, a scream struck.
The sound of the wind laughing like a demon, accompanied by the screams that appear from time to time, really makes people feel cold all over the body.
I don't know how long it took for the fog to clear.
When the fog cleared, Liuyun slowly opened his eyes.
Two more people died on board.
In that strange copper bell, two more warriors were killed.
The boat, which was still a little lively, was already a little deserted at this time. Liuyun found that only Liuyun and Lao San and the others were fully dressed, as if they were not disturbed by the copper bell at all.
Those martial artists other than the third child and others were more or less injured in some ways that were not light or serious. Except, of course, for the warrior who had been leaning on the mast in a daze.
At this time, the remaining warriors on the ship were the single warrior who got on the boat alone but was unharmed, and a young man who came with him, but his teammate unfortunately fell into the River Styx last night, so he is also alone now. and the two middle-aged men who survived in another group, and then Lao San and Liuyun and others.
Liuyun glanced at the two corpses that had fallen on the boat, and his back was slightly cold. The two corpses were as if they had been subjected to great torture before their deaths, covered in large bruises, blood-red flesh and bones could still be seen in the cracks of the flesh, and the muscles and bones were torn apart. If you look closely, every bone in the corpse has been broken, even the nasal bone is collapsed.
Like two rag dolls that have been broken by life, their bodies twisted into an extremely unnatural arc and died tragically on the ship.
The dwarf saw Liuyun's confusion, and secretly explained to Liuyun why they could avoid the brass bell that could kill people.
It was a pill that could hide the breath of a human being, and it was called the "Elixir of the Dead." "This kind of pill can't be made by artificial means. If you want to obtain this elixir, you must find an ancient corpse that has been sealed for nearly a thousand years before it is possible to obtain this elixir.
According to the physical state of the corpse before death, the wetness in the coffin, the feng shui magnetic field in the place where the coffin is located, and other factors, it is possible to give birth to a useful elixir from the corpse.
Knowing that what he had just eaten was actually born from a corpse, Liuyun's face turned green.
But it was precisely by eating the Immortal Spirit Pill that Liuyun completely hid the human breath emanating from his body. The copper bell just now is a kind of yin creature called 'death', and the weird copper bell is the background music when they eat.
This kind of 'death' is actually the ghost of all kinds of warriors who died under the River Styx in previous years. There are some martial artists who have reached a certain level of cultivation, and after being buried in the River Styx, that kind of great soul power enables his soul to not disperse.
In addition, the River Styx itself is an extremely cold place, where many resentful spirits accumulate, and over time, 'death' is born.
Legend has it that when he eats, he likes to torture food the most. So the tragic images of those corpses are also grounded.
'Death' can only perceive a martial artist with the breath of a living person, so Liuyun and the others are safe and sound after eating the Underworld Pill.
Just now, there were two 'dead' on the ship, so only the lives of two warriors were taken.
In the mysterious expanse of the River Styx, the creatures who control each area are different. They spend their days wandering above the dead waters, searching for souls to devour. To survive the River Styx, whether you can meet those creatures depends on luck. How much you meet also depends on luck.
It is said that one year, a ship carrying more than 30 warriors was in a certain section of the middle of the River Styx, and unfortunately encountered a large number of 'deaths', because the number of 'deaths' was too much, so even if they ate the elixir of the underworld, they could not get rid of the entanglement of 'death'. The Ghost Spirit Pill also has a certain period of concealment, so all the martial artists, even the boatmen, died here.
According to legend, that ship encountered something very special.
After all, there are very few creatures that can make the ferryman die here.
