Chapter 743: Coincidence?
"Lethe River ......"
Du Bai stood on the shore and looked towards the river, his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn.
The reason why it is uncertain is that this river is a little different from the traditional impression of the Lechuan River.
Instead of the tawny stinking river of legend, it was lava flowing down!
The blood-red magma was like real flowing water, without any signs of solidification, and even rolled in waves, sometimes crashing on the reef on the shore, stirring up a little spark, scattered in the dirt but never extinguished.
At this time, although he stepped on the shore under his feet, and there was still some distance from the real "river", he could still feel an amazing heat wave rushing towards his face, and even the clothes on his body were a little hot, as if he would really burn and turn into ashes if he took another step.
What's even more terrifying is that looking into the distance, you can see that there are many strange black dots floating in this magma, sometimes rising and falling with the waves, but never completely sinking, which looks quite tenacious.
But when he got closer and looked closer, Du Bai's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly-these "people" were clearly rolling and tormenting in this magma!
Those black dots were their heads, and from a distance, there were hundreds of black dots floating in this long "river", and this was only what they had seen in such a short time.
"So many ghosts...... All of them were punished here for doing something wrong in their lives?! ”
There was only one possibility that Du Bai could think of.
And just as he was thinking, the goblins who were wailing in pain in the lava seemed to have discovered his presence on the shore, and cried out for his help.
"Help me...... I haven't spent all the money I saved when I was alive......"
"Save me first...... I still have a lot on my mind......"
"Help me! ……”
The wails in the river came and went, all of them were tears, and the reasons were tragic and moving one after another, and everyone who heard it felt the same way.
It is estimated that if it were someone with a softer heart, maybe he couldn't help but feel compassion and decided to take the risk to rescue them.
But although Du Bai came to this underworld for the first time, he has seen a lot of this kind of "nonsense" scene, don't forget that he is a ghost king, can he still be fooled by their tricks?
Not to mention......
He looked around, plucked a weed and threw it on the river, which instantly turned into a ball of fire and slowly sank to the bottom of the magma, unable to be distinguished.
And look at the ghosts, although one screamed worse than the other, none of them really burned.
Of course, these are not hallucinations, but Du Bai feels that some special formation restriction may have been imposed on this place, so that these ghosts can feel the terrifying pain of burning but will not really be burned to death, and can only endure the torment in these sea of fire for eternity, waiting for the day of transcendence that may come.
"So...... How many good people can be imprisoned on this river with such a severe punishment and worthy of my sympathy? ”
Du Bai sighed lightly, feeling that although these rules were cruel, they naturally had their own reason, and naturally had no intention of interfering to change anything.
On the contrary, the scene in front of me seemed a little familiar for some reason, as if I had seen it somewhere......
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of the scene he had seen at the beginning of the crossing, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned, and then he frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
More precisely, it is the scene when I have just "obtained" this doppelganger.
At that time, his scholar's body was asleep, and his consciousness had also passed through such a sea of fire, and then he came to the body of the Dragon King, and "picked up" the doppelganger of the Ghost King.
"It's a coincidence...... Still is? ”
He looked up into the distance, the depths of the underworld were as deep as an abyss and full of mystery and strangeness.
"Could it be that this is hiding the secret of my connection to this body?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.
Because it may have something to do with the secret he crossed over.
But just as he was about to fly directly over this river, he suddenly felt his body sink, as if a pair of big hands were forcibly pulling and sinking under his feet!
If he hadn't reacted in time and quickly retreated back to the shore, he might have been dragged down the river and become one of these ghosts!
Although even if he really fell into the river, he could force himself back to the shore with his strength, but he was inevitably a little scared in his heart.
"This thing even has a forbidden formation limit, and it can't fly over it at all."
Instead of continuing to take risks, he took a different approach.
After walking along the river for a while, and seeing many ghosts of all kinds, I finally saw a bridge across the river.
"This is the Nai Ho Bridge?"
Du Bai glanced at it twice, and the appearance was not much different from those ordinary stone arch bridges in the mortal world, square and square, not brilliant or scary.
There were no ghosts, nothing evil and sneaky, only pale paper lanterns erected on both sides of the bridge, on which were written words urging people to forget everything and not look back.
It looks like an old woman is seductive.
But at a glance, I don't know if there is no one to maintain it, there are already several lanterns that have broken surfaces, only the candle inside still burns with a faint light for a long time, bringing a little light to this dark space.
It can also be regarded as guiding the direction of those dead souls.
But not surprisingly, there is no Meng Po soup sold here, and it seems that there is no chance to taste this kind of delicacy that you only get once in your life.
Unexpectedly passed through this Nahe Bridge, and when I came to the other side, it felt as if I had arrived in another world in an instant, not only did the temperature plummet, but the sound of ghosts crying wolves seemed to gradually become more and more, and it was slightly more "lively" than before.
To others, this ghost cry may be a little scary, but to him, it is more familiar and familiar.
It's better than being so deserted as if the world was the only one left with a normal mind.
"By the way...... You can also ask them for advice and ask them what to do next. ”
But just as he was thinking this, there happened to be a few "very eye-catching" ghosts in the distance, and looking at the direction, it was obvious that they were coming towards him.
