Chapter 367: Bottomless Yin River
In the dark, Xia Qing and the old shopkeeper continued to move forward.
The fog was rolling, the air was thick with gray fog, and the castle in front of it seemed not far away, but it seemed impossible to walk. Not to mention the distance, there are also groups of demons roaming around, rushing out of the fog from time to time to hunt the crowds that have come to the Netherworld. These demons are terrifying, ranging from birds of prey flying close to the ground, cyclops with large iron rods in tow, and monsters with human heads and snake bodies, frantically hunting crowds.
The closer you get to the castle, the more demons there are, and they seem to occupy the entire Netherworld, everywhere.
Xia Qing followed closely behind the old shopkeeper, carefully avoiding these vicious demons.
There were too many people who came to the netherworld, and the two of them were mixed in the crowd, and no demons found out for a while. The old shopkeeper is blind with a pair of eyes, but he seems to be able to predict the prophet, or he can see through the thick gray fog, know where the demons are lurking, and take Xia Qing to bypass the danger again and again. The others are not so lucky, and there is basically no way to survive if they are targeted by demon beasts.
There was a little boy who also came to the netherworld, and walked forward with the flow of people in a daze, his body was weak, but his luck was always good, and he inadvertently followed Xia Qing and the others, and avoided many dangers along the way. However, as he was about to reach the brightly lit castle, the little boy's luck seemed to run out, and he was violently held in the mouth by a giant python.
"Help, Mother...... and save me......"
The little boy cried and struggled hard, but was dragged into the fog little by little by the python.
Xia Qing subconsciously held the hilt of Dugu's sword, and before he could make a move, he was held down by the old shopkeeper, "Qing'er, let's go, you can't save him." ”
"But ......"
Xia Qing also knew that he couldn't save it, but he still couldn't bear it.
"It's useless, it's just the soul of the little boy, the real body has long since died and left the world. Even if you do anything to make a move, the most you can do is save his soul, and it won't be long before that soul dissipates. The old shopkeeper turned around and left, and said, "Let's go, we don't have much time, and we can't delay on the road." ”
"Help, save my ......"
The little boy continued to plead, struggling helplessly.
Xia Qing sighed and turned to follow the old shopkeeper. Behind him, the little boy screamed and completely disappeared into the thick gray fog. People in the world always think that death is like a lamp going out, and death is a hundred times, but everyone knows that death is only the beginning of another journey, and the soul will usher in another calamity after reaching the netherworld. Died at the hands of many demons, and his soul was completely scattered.
The two continued to move forward, Xia Qing was more careful, deliberately not looking at what happened to people, and concentrating on hurrying. After walking for half a pillar of incense, the two finally came to a brightly lit place.
It is a huge castle surrounded by an unfathomable moat, with only one gate open for people to enter and exit, and the two big characters 'Gray City' are engraved on the head of the city. The fog was rolling in front of the city gate, and an army of demons was gathered, and a large area of black pressure was only afraid of no less than 100,000 people, frantically hunting people's souls.
The crowd became agitated and rushed towards the city gates, instinctively wanting to rush into the city. Many people tried to bypass the demon army and swim through the moat, only to get out of the water and never come out again. A black tide appeared in the sky, and it seemed that countless demons were rushing over to kill all the people, and the crowd became even more uneasy, and rushed forward desperately.
The old shopkeeper looked up at the black tide in the sky, frowned, and seemed to open his eyes to see some terrible monster.
"Old man, what should I do?Rush in directly?" Xia Qing was inexplicably nervous.
"Hmm. ”
The old shopkeeper nodded, but his body stood still, and slowly took out the jasper Xiao hanging from his waist. The next moment, thunder sounded in the air, and the turquoise sword light crossed the sky and slashed down from the sky.
In the vast army of demons, a vacuum suddenly appeared. The demons that stood in the way, whether they were birds of prey or hideous giant pythons, were all twisted into pieces by the sword qi, and even vaporized.
Kyushu Thunder Sword!
The old shopkeeper replaced the long sword with Jasper Xiao to sweep away the demon army gathered outside the city gate, and the power of this sword was so powerful that it made people smack.
Xia Qing was also shocked, and immediately remembered the scene when Zhao Dazui punched through the barracks, compared with Zhao Dazui's boxing skills, the old shopkeeper's swordsmanship was even more terrifying!
"Qing'er, let's go!" the old shopkeeper flew out and rushed out.
Xia Qing came back to his senses, and quickly followed with the Wind Riding Fog Technique, and burst out with an astonishing speed under nervousness. The dark night shadow cloak tied to the body makes the wonder of the fog trick of the wind frame completely displayed, and the foggy place can fly, the greater the fog, the faster the speed, and the clouds are faster than the birds!
An old man and a young man suddenly picked up speed, crossed the interception of the demon army at the fastest speed, and rushed into the gray city in one go.
The moment he crossed the city gate, Xia Qing stopped and looked back, and many people followed. With the light of the old shopkeeper, he escaped by luck, and those who reacted slowly were not so lucky and were overwhelmed by the demon army. The demon army that was pierced by the old shopkeeper's sword quickly gathered and continued to intercept the panicked crowd. A giant python pounced on it, trying in vain to attack Xia Qing who was standing inside the city gate, but was helplessly blocked by a circle of blue light outside the moat.
"It's dangerous!"
Xia Qing secretly called it a fluke, looked up and glanced at the moat outside, and his heart trembled violently. The unfathomable moat was crowded with dense human heads, and I don't know how many people fell into the river, shouting silently while waving their hands wildly, trying to climb out of the moat, but none of them succeeded, and were slowly pushed away by the river.
Xia Qing's scalp was numb, and he felt that this netherworld was not a ghost mansion world, but it was more weird and terrifying than the ghost mansion. Death is not the most terrible, it is the endless calamities that make people truly tremble and fear.
"When you reach the Nether Realm, if you can't rush into the Gray City for refuge, you will either be killed by the demon army, or you will fall into the bottomless Yin River. If you stay in the water for a quarter of an hour, you will be stripped of your soul until you lose it, and then you will be shunted to places like the Ghost Mansion and the Underworld. The old shopkeeper explained simply, and said, "It's not early, Qing'er, let's go, go to the city and ask if anyone has seen Dahuanxi Valley here, or if they have seen your mother." ”
The old shopkeeper turned around and left, time was limited, and he had to leave the Netherworld and return to Wuzhou before dawn, otherwise he would be in trouble.
Xia Qing followed, he couldn't see anything in front of him, not even a sound, but his body was heavy, as if he had stepped into some ancient prohibition. It didn't take long for me to feel lighter, and I found that I was standing on a lively street, brightly lit, with people coming and going on the street, and there were all kinds of shops such as inns and restaurants.
"What is this place?"
Xia Qing was surprised, feeling that she had come to another world. At first glance, it is no different from ordinary towns, and it is even more lively than Wuzhou City and Qingniu City!
