Chapter 144: Living and Dying Together
In the dimly lit room, Xie Lingxu washed his face with cold water, walked through the corner, and caught a glimpse of a narrow black shadow on the ground, which couldn't help but make people feel shocked.
Is that...... Who is standing in the corner......?
Xie Lingxu's eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately stepped forwardβclenching the reckless sword in his hand, but there was nothing in front of him......
Strange, no one, where did the shadow come from......?
Just as I was feeling incredible, I looked down and saw the black shadow under my feet suddenly jump up to my ankle and imprison myself to death-
What is this TM ......!
The shadow under his feet seemed to have endless power, and in an instant, it climbed from Xie Lingxu's calf to his waist, as if it was about to engulf the latter entirely.
Raising his sword and slashing at the evil thing, the blade only flickered through a cloud of black mist, but it still couldn't stop the thing from spreading towards his face......
Black smoke rushed upwards, and after a few moments, it surrounded and flooded the people inside......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
ββββββββ
ββββββββ
"Hiss ............"
"Hiss ............"
The black smoke flowed in the air, and Xie Lingxu woke up from his coma in a trance, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a scene of decay everywhere...... The strange rocks are red and black, and they look like animal bones brushed with a layer of blood.
I shuddered inexplicably, only to feel that the atmosphere around me was extremely weird......
Before he could come back to his senses, the black mist under his feet suddenly rushed up to his body, and he immediately surrounded himself. Between the electric light and flint, I saw the jade bead on my waist flashing brightly, dispelling the menacing mist in front of me......
With a sigh of relief, Xie Lingxu stood up with difficulty holding on to the stones on the side - he was ...... Where is it?
His mind suddenly recalled what He Yan had said to himself...... There are unruly people in the rivers and lakes......
Is there really a person who is not afraid of his identity and just wants to get the jade bead?
Raised his feet and walked a few steps forward, only to feel that this place is not ordinary and strange, even the breath in the air seems to be creepy!
Why do you feel panicked when you're here......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Hearing a sound of "hee-hee-hee-......bang" in front of him, Xie Lingxu was startled violently - listening carefully to this "whooshing" sound, it seemed to be ...... Eating?
Bypassing the boulder blocking in front of him, Xie Lingxu saw the scene in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart......
β what's that!
I saw a few things that were not human or ghosts digging a corpse on the ground with their hands, gobbling up the latter's flesh and bones......
I felt sick to my stomach, and Xie Lingxu covered his mouth and nose violently-
It's not a person from the rivers and lakes, the monster here should be ...... Undead! This is the underworld!
It turned out that he had been targeted by these evil things......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Turning around, Xie Lingxu pondered where the exit of this place was, only to feel that there seemed to be a huge gravitational force on his side pulling him over, and when he turned around, he saw a black vortex at the crack of the stone like a suction cup, exuding an extremely powerful adsorption force, like a huge mouth devouring all things, and he was submerged in himself......
Through the vortex, it was as if he had crossed a secret door connecting time and space, and arrived at another realm-
Just looking around at the surrounding scene, Xie Lingxu was startled by the sound of "hee hee ......" suddenly coming out behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a few things with human shapes but no human appearance approaching him. This is...... Undead ......
Several undead corpses in front of them let out a creepy "hee-hee-......" sound, as if they couldn't speak and could only laugh. β¦β¦ The former stretched out his hand to hook his shoulder, and Xie Lingxu felt something limp on his body, like a puddle of carrion without bones, and the soft touch made people's scalp tingle......
The laughter around him came and went, and they surrounded themselves...... Looking up, hundreds of undead corpses with no pupils and strange postures stretched out their forebodies and walked towards them in unison, and the sound of mad laughter lingered in his ears for a long time......
- A ghostly half-male, half-female voice suddenly rang out, carrying a strange echo that was terrifying......
"It's comingββ!! Giggle......!! β
ββββ
"Giggle......!!"
ββββ
Xie Lingxu's heart was shocked, only to feel that this piercing and strange voice was like a small claw, scratching his nerves, and he couldn't help but tighten his back.
The undead laughed and let out a muffled screamβ
"Immortal Emperorββ! Immortal ββ! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Biting his lower lip, Xie Lingxu raised his eyes to look at the thing called the Emperor of the Underworld on the pedestal, only to feel that this monster had no nose or mouth, and naturally he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman...... Probably in the underworld, there is no distinction between men and women at all......
It seems to be just a lump of chrome-yellow rotten flesh attached to the mutilated human bones, and at first glance it is very disgusting!
"Okay...... The Demon Bead is backββ! β
The former's piercing voice penetrated the eardrums, and the undead corpse who only heard it immediately said in an uproar:
"Okay, good, good......"
"Okay, good, good......"
ββββββ
Exercise...... What kind of monsters are these TMs!
Xie Lingxu clenched his fists uneasily, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the Immortal Emperor had arrived in front of him at some point, and the pupils of Xie Lingxu, who had not been surprised, shrank sharply - only to see the former baring his teeth, as if looking at himself with empty eyes. Seeing that it leaned over and sniffed back and forth at its side, it immediately let out an exaggerated exclamation:
- "Hiss...... The taste of demon beads! β
"Demon Beadβ"
ββββββββ
"Demon Beadβ"
ββββββββ
The Immortal Emperor sneered, pointed at Xie Lingxu with his violently trembling forelimbs and said:
"Take her...... Throw it into the alchemy furnaceββ! β
- The undead corpse on his side suddenly swarmed up, sneering and grabbing Lingxu's elbow.
"Get out of the ......" panicked and slashed at the monster in front of him with his reckless sword, but in the face of the huge number of undead corpses beside him, his own struggle was to no avail......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Being held high by a group of monsters and walking towards a huge refining furnace in the distance, Xie Lingxu's hands and feet were restrained by countless pairs of ugly and deformed withered claws under him, and he couldn't move......
Hades Emperor: "Return to the furnace and rebuild, and the demon bead will be born¬-"
- "The Demon Bead is the ......!" β
- "The Demon Bead is the ......!" β
ββββββ
Looking at the pure copper smelting furnace with a purple-red heart in front of him, Xie Lingxu's heart was like ashes...... Is it really in this alchemy furnace to break the bones and scatter ashes, so that the jade bead can reappear in the world......?
My thoughts were a little dazed...... In the current situation, can I still get out? - But at this time, will he come, appear to him in a pinch as he used to...... Mu Yun......
Xie Lingxu couldn't help but be stunned - why did he silently read Mu Yun's name in his heart when he was dying and living? Could it be that his appearance to help him in times of distress has unconsciously become his habit......?
Even though I felt that this idea was ridiculous, I couldn't suppress the real thought at the moment...... He seems to have a belief in the dark, believing that Mu Yun will come, and he will definitely come to save him. But Xie Lingxu was clear in his heart, how could Mu Yun know that he had arrived in a place like the underworld, just to get a jade bead, how could he keep an eye on his whereabouts all the time, know when he was in danger, and when he was needed......
- "Re-furnace and reconstructionββ! β
ββββββ
- "Re-furnace and reconstructionββ! β
ββββββ
The undead corpses who were clamoring and hugging each other clamped down on Xie Lingxu and pushed them to the edge of the caliber of the alchemy furnace, and the latter tried to break free with all his might, but felt that these supernatural monsters seemed to have the power to pull out the mountain and teach themselves to be completely unable to resist.
Looking down at the endless alchemy furnace under his feet, Xie Lingxu realized that the furnace body he saw was just a small part of the alchemy furnace exposed, and there was also a larger space, buried deep under the ground-
I felt that my shoulder was pushed violently, and Xie Lingxu lost his balance and fell from the square inch under his feet......
Turning sideways, Xie Lingxu fell on his back towards the endless abyss below him...... The five fingers flickered in the air, but they caught an empty ......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Suddenly, seeing that the familiar figure really appeared in his sight, Mu Yun gasped rapidly, staring at his eyes full of fear......
Seeing the woman in front of her gradually moving away from herself, Mu Yun stretched out her hand in a panic, but only wiped her fingertips, and still couldn't hold the former after all-
The numbness of the fingertips instantly entered the nerves, and Mu Yun's pupils shook violently...... It's too late......
Those who have time to follow have no reason to let go. Mu Yun's heart was hot, and he immediately jumped down - he just missed on the way without believing in fate, if he couldn't catch it, he would come closer......
β¦β¦ Sword mountain and sea of fire, I will also go with you!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In vain, he rubbed the copper wall beside him with the sword in his hand, slightly offsetting the trend of falling, Xie Lingxu gritted his teeth...... Raising his eyes in a hurry, he saw that Mu Yun quickly shortened the distance between himself and himself, and he seemed to be trying to speed up his fall with his strength.
With no time to take care of others, Xie Lingxu tried his best to stop himself from falling, just thinking about the scene of falling from such a high place and splashing his brain when he touched the ground, it made people shudder......
Mu Yun always caught up with the person in front of him, and before he could hold her, he encountered a sudden change in the terrain under him...... Abrupt stones are all over the ground, with sharp edges. Mu Yun hugged the back of Xie Lingxu's neck and held the latter tightly in his arms...... Draw your sword against the boulder beneath you, blocking the power of the rapid fall...... The huge impact force made the former suffer for a while, Mu Yun frowned, and the hand that hugged the person in his arms was not relaxed at all.
Falling heavily on the ground, Xie Lingxu only felt that he was a little out of breath by the former...... Inevitably, he rolled forward with Mu Yun with inertia, only to feel the hard gravel grinding over his back when he touched the ground, and then brought the pain of drilling bones.
Xie Lingxu gritted his teeth fiercely, only to feel that this level made him feel pain in his heart, so how heart-wrenching should Mu Yun, who was protecting most of his body at this moment......
How could he stand it...... And why should he bear it......?
