Chapter 42: Necromantic Hell

After receiving Lihong's instructions, Nangong Yi set off again and rushed to Mufu, which seemed to be unpopular at the foot of Duyun Mountain.

He carried in his hand a rusty bronze key, the size of two hands spread out, with a dirty red cloth and two brass bells tied to it.

After the report was made, he was greeted by a sleepless woman dressed as a woman.

"The people from Lihong have all arrived in Yuguo, why are they so slow to send you?" She grumbled as she led the way.

"The master can't get out." Even if she has cooperated many times, Nangong Yi still chooses to stay away from this woman.

In a firewood room in the backyard of Mufu, the dilapidated dusty stove is opened, and a long spiral staircase is coiled underneath. The two lit a fire and walked down, the wooden stairs creaked, some were damp and mildew, some were gnawed by snakes, rats, insects and ants, Nangong Yi walked in front, and almost stepped on the air several times and fell.

With him as the first to explore the way, Sleepless perfectly avoided all the "traps".

However, the staircase was too long, and they had to walk in circles all the time, and when they got down to the ground, they all felt dizzy and dizzy, and hurriedly stopped for a moment.

Except for the spiral staircase that was chiseled from the top, the top of the stone chamber was two zhang high from the ground, and two long ditches half a foot wide and three feet deep were dug out on the ground, and a thin layer of dark liquid remained under the light of the fire. The two ditches extend forward, with a floor drain at each end of the staircase, allowing too much liquid to flow out of it without spilling onto the ground.

They walked inward along a ditch and reached the end of the ditch, where there was no way ahead.

In front of the two of them, it was like a cliff, and the terrain turned sharply, and I don't know how deep it was, and there was a black rumbling underneath, and nothing could be seen. Sleepless touched his body, and fortunately brought a few more fire folds, so he threw one down.

Judging from the echo from below, about ten zhang deep, the fire had long been extinguished, reflecting several iron locks connected to the stone wall, obviously for them to climb.

Wumian and Nangong Yi each climbed down an iron lock, the iron chain wrapped around a huge cage below, the two grabbed the iron railing on the cage, and found that the opposite side of the cage was also connected to the iron chain, leading to the stone platform on the other side. And under the cage, there are also several chains that can be climbed down.

"Go to the opposite side or go down?" Sleepless asked.

"What's the difference?" Nangong Yi hung under the cage and waved it with a fire breaker, and below it seemed to be a large pool that had dried up. The bottom of the pond is covered with dark, reflective stagnant water, just like the previous gutter. Directly in the center of the cage was a small door like a manhole cover, and a small copper lock hung from the door.

Nangong Yi looked at the huge key hanging on his waist, how could he not open this lock, so he said to Wumian: "Go and have a look on the other side." ”

As soon as he looked up, the cage shook violently under the pull of the chain, and Sleepless jumped down the chain before he could finish speaking.

"Click......

There was a crisp sound below, and the small door like a manhole cover was cracked by Sleepless, directly eliminating the step of unlocking. There was a sudden rustling sound all around, and the sound came from far and near, making it extremely strange in this empty underground.

Sleepless panicked, exerted his strength, climbed the chain again, and took two steps up to watch the changes.

"Come on!" Nangong Yi suddenly shouted, his voice echoed everywhere, sleepless biting the fire fold, and then lowered his head, the bottom of the pool began to crack, and countless criss-crossing small grooves appeared, and dark red liquid also gushed out quickly from the small ditches.

She hurriedly grabbed the chain and climbed back, came to the iron cage, and the two of them hurried to the opposite stone platform.

Bubbles of various sizes bubbled in the water, and a strong, pungent fishy smell swept over the sagging chains and gradually spread to the bottom of the cage.

"Hurry up!" Nangong Yi had already climbed the stone platform, and when he saw that Sleepless was still a little close, he couldn't help but get anxious.

Smelling the smell, he knew that the pool of water was extremely poisonous, and he climbed up with a hard breath, and at this time he screamed downward, and immediately felt as if his throat was choking.

Sleepless stopped two or three feet under the stage, and seemed to be out of strength. She threw her head back, her mouth wide open to breathe, her face pale.

Nangong Yi couldn't take care of the discomfort in his throat, and shouted again: "Quick, climb up!" It's too late to move again! ”

Seeing that Wumian was just clutching the chain, motionless and fainting, he gritted his teeth and fired a non-toxic secret weapon at her.

It was a small nail that had been driven into the sleepless upper arm, and it was almost all submerged in the flesh.

The sudden stinging pain woke her up, and when she saw that the pool water was about to lick her shoes, she also reacted, and climbed up with the help of Nangong Yi. The water rose a few inches below the stone platform, boiled for a while, poured into the long ditches on either side, and gradually receded downwards until it disappeared.

In the dark red pool water, a few cartilage monsters occasionally churned, mixed with the diffuse blood, making both of them think that they had looked away.

On the other side of the platform, a gate was erected.

This time, I matched the key brought by Nangong Yi. He knew the danger, and was afraid that the door would be smeared with poison, so he tore off a piece of clothing and wrapped his hand, and then used the key to open the lock.

The heavy bronze door made a loud noise against the ground, and it took him a lot of effort to push open a gap just big enough for the two of them to enter.

Sleepless hastily bandaged his arm, and was the first to walk in, and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. Nangong Yi followed, and there was a sudden flower in front of him, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes.

In front of them, there are countless fireflies flying, which is very spectacular, bright and bright, like a fairyland.

But this is not the fairy world.

More fireflies were left in cages, cages containing a dozen humanoid monsters.

The flying insects landed on the humanoid monsters, causing them to glow a blinding green light.

There was a small insect that flew towards Nangong Yi's eyes, he grabbed it with his hand, pinched it to death, and suddenly smelled a strange smell. The surrounding arrangement gradually changed, and in the center where the most fireflies flowed, a broken pillar appeared, and a person was tied to the pillar.

The man was covered in small golden thorns and tied to the pillar, and his hands, feet, and shoulders were cut through by gold chains, and they were firmly tied.

There were huge and fatal wounds on his body, as if he was being bitten by many fierce beasts, and then he recovered very quickly, until the next wave of bites struck, and the cycle repeated.

Nangong Yi looked at this person, he was hollowed out of his five organs for a while, his head was shattered for a while, and he lost his hands and feet for a while...... It wasn't until after another tear that he lifted his jet-black hair to hide half of his bloody face.

The half of his face and the indifferent and cold eyes on his face frightened Nangong Yi to sit on the ground, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It's Lihong.

Around him, the things that were biting and devouring him gradually became clear, and they were countless evil ghosts with hideous forms.

The demons seemed to smell something strange, and a few of them floated in the direction of Nangong Yi, opening their fangs and biting at his head.

Nangong Yi was so frightened that he couldn't even shout.

At the moment of waiting for death, there was a tingling pain in his thigh, and the scene in front of him changed back to the original appearance of flying fireflies.

There was a hint of worry in Sleepless' eyes, and he held a bloody sword in his hand. He looked down and saw that there was blood on his leg, and it turned out that the necromantic hell that had just appeared in front of him was an illusion.

"These flying insects are not ordinary fireflies, but are called mirages." Sleepless said, "If you get it, you will have terrible hallucinations, and it is best to avoid them." ”

Nangong Yi pressed his fast-beating heart and gasped for breath.

He looked at the medicine man in the cage, and Sleepless told him that these people were the most vicious death row prisoners, and they had been captured and smeared with mirage's favorite pollen. They are locked in cages, day after day by hallucinations, and over time they become demented with nothing but blood and killing inside.

At this stage, if you are fed the medicine that greatly increases your combat power in a short period of time, it will become an emotionless killing weapon. Those hallucinations reflect the deep fear in their hearts, so they use this way to put their fear on the body of the target of the killing, and when the killing is over, some medicine people will immediately commit suicide.

In this case, the cost of cultivating a medicine person is very high. So, Lihong created another medicine that could control their death.

Regularly fed with this medicine, the medicine men will become docile, and when they are sent into battle, they will bring out their ferocious nature with a mirage.

At this moment, the group of medicine people in front of them is obviously still in the first stage of mirage to disturb the mind. Some of them rolled on the ground in pain, while others were stupid and moving slowly, their eyes glazed and their complexions blue, and their skin was pitted by mirage bites.

Nangong Yi's stomach turned over for a while, he didn't eat much this day, and only spit out two mouthfuls of sour water. He had only tasted the power of the mirage, and the hallucinations of those medicine people were only a hundred times more terrifying than what he saw. Such a dense mirage, all kinds of nightmares are constantly staged in front of me, and it is absolutely stupid if you are not crazy.

"The master said that he would transfer this batch of medicine people from the secret passage back to the Yan Kingdom and hand them over to Jiang ...... In the hands of the one in your house. Nangong recalled that Jiang Chenghua had fled from Yuguo, and he could no longer be called Jiang Guo's proton, so he directly changed his words to this.

He took out several portions of the medicine wrapped in oiled paper from the package and divided half of them into Sleepless's hand.

Sleepless looked at the mirage flying everywhere in front of him, asked him to wait for a while, and came to the corner of the stone chamber by himself, tore off a coat and lit it, the warm light of the fire jumped, and she looked for some combustibles around, all piled up next to the flames.

Sure enough, these flying insects in the dark were phototropic and flew over in a swarm.

They took the medicine from their hands, and when they looked closely, the oiled paper packets were divided into two colors. The lighter ones are sprinkled on the medicine people, and the darker ones are fed to them.

The two thought that the medicine used to sprinkle was probably to cover up the smell of pollen and prevent the medicine feeder from hallucinating on the way, so without saying a word, they jumped onto the cage and dumped several packets of medicine powder on the medicine man like a scattered flower.

As soon as the sprinkler was finished, the medicine men fell unconscious.

The two looked at each other, and then while they couldn't move, they stuffed the medicine into it one by one.

After a while, the medicine people woke up one after another, no longer as restless as before, and became extremely docile.
