Chapter 264: The Underworld
Chapter 264: The Underworld
Haotian and Demon Moon did not have any hesitation on whether to enter the giant city, because if they wanted to leave this world, they must find the exit of the world, but there were no clues along the way, and the appearance of that giant city undoubtedly gave them a clear direction, so they had to go and see it anyway.
Because the giant city is too big, the city wall alone is as high as a thousand zhang, and Haotian, who is more than ten zhang long, stands outside the city wall, which is really insignificant, and they don't need to worry about entering the city at all, because the ancient city wall is full of cracks, in their eyes, it is like a huge canyon, from these cracks, they can easily enter the city.
After entering the city, the imaginary picture of palaces and streets did not appear, not even a single house, as far as the eye could see, it was all foggy, and some huge statues could be faintly seen in the fog, and there was nothing else.
Haotian and Demon Moon walked in the mist, inexplicably feeling a little cold, theoretically speaking, with their strength, no matter how low the temperature is, it is difficult to feel the cold, but at this time, this cold feeling is extremely clear, Haotian knows that this has nothing to do with the temperature, but the negativity of the heaven and earth elements here is more obvious, and at the same time, the yin qi is constantly aggravated.
At this moment, Hao Tiancai finally understood why this place was called the underworld, it turned out that there was really an underworld here, and he had just seen two ancient characters the size of a mountain on the huge city wall, which represented the meaning of the underworld.
At first, Haotian and the others couldn't see anything except the fog and statues, but after walking for a long time, some huge shadows suddenly appeared in the fog, and they were still moving slowly, but even if they were moving slowly, because these shadows were as big as mountains, every step they took was dozens of miles.
Haotian and the others followed from a distance, they clearly did not feel any breath of life from these shadows, nor did they have a strong coercion, obviously they were not those ancient giant beasts outside, but from the appearance, these shadows were clearly no different from those giant beasts.
"It's a ghost. After observing for a long time, Haotian came to the conclusion that people will become ghosts after death, and any living creature will also turn into ghosts after death, ghosts are different from the original gods, ghosts almost do not have any power, but it is the main body of the original gods, and the original gods will not die if they are damaged, but the dissipation of the soul is complete death, and the original gods will naturally disperse after the death of the monk, but his soul will be sucked into the underworld and experience reincarnation.
At this time, the shadows that Haotian and Demon Moon saw were the souls of giant beasts that appeared through the mist, and their behavior was very similar to that of their lives, but if you look closely, you will find that although they are walking on the earth, they actually do not leave the slightest mark.
Although it was just a ghost that didn't pose a threat, Haotian was still very vigilant, and he was far away from these shadows, and then he and Demon Moon bypassed these shadows and came to the front of this group of giant beast souls, so they saw several figures suspended in the sky.
Suddenly seeing humanoid creatures in this place was indeed very surprising to Haotian and Demon Yue, but since there was a city, it was normal for humanoid creatures to appear, but those humanoid creatures in front of them were obviously not real humans, because their bodies were all tall, at least much taller than the current Haotian, and they were a hundred feet tall, and their appearance was also different from humans, some had a huge bull's head, and some had no head at all, and in their hands, they were all holding a pitch-black iron cable, and the other end of the chain was tied to the body of those giant beast souls。
Haotian and Demon Moon followed these humanoid creatures and giant beast souls all the way, and it didn't take long for them to come to a huge portal, similar to the archway, with three words written on it, Ghost Gate.
Black River, Stone Bridge, Ghost Gate.
All of this seems to be connected, almost no different from the legendary underworld, and the next should be the Lost Soul Palace, Jinji Mountain, and so on.
There was a dead silence on the way forward, neither the giant beasts in the form of souls nor the humanoid creatures that led the giant beasts made the slightest sound, and they were extremely depressed, until a cliff appeared in front of them.
There is also a bridge on the cliff, there are four bridge-protecting beasts on the bridge, located on both sides, there are three huge heads, the appearance is similar to the dogs, like the legendary three-headed dog of hell, there is a boundary monument at the head of the bridge, on which are written three big characters - gold and silver bridge.
When he saw this gold and silver bridge, Haotian was also a little surprised, which was far more surprised than seeing the ghost gate of the Naihe Bridge of the Lechuan River, if according to the myth, there should be an old woman on the gold and silver bridge holding tea and giving it to the ghosts of the past to drink, which is the so-called Meng Po and drinking the Meng Po soup that can forget the past life and the present life.
But obviously there is no old woman on this bridge, and there is no Meng Po soup, only a round mirror, the mirror is erected, standing in the center of the bridge, just blocking the bridge completely, as for how big this mirror is, anyway, it is enough to accommodate any giant beast to pass through the mirror, why is it through it, because Haotian and Demon Yue clearly saw that the souls of those giant beasts walked in front of the mirror one by one, and then directly submerged into the mirror, and when they reappeared, they had reached the back of the mirror, and the original illusory figure seemed to become real。
The cliff is called the Soul Restoration Cliff, on the other side of the Soul Restoration Cliff, there is a faint light, no longer giving people a lifeless feeling, somewhat some vitality, the giant beast door let out a high-pitched roar, and then went straight to the other side of the Soul Restoration Cliff, and soon disappeared at the end of the field of vision, the few humanoid creatures holding iron cables still did not make a sound, and directly turned around and disappeared into the fog behind them.
Haotian and Demon Moon glanced at each other, and instantly reached an agreement, that is, to go to the other side of the cliff to have a look, but it was obvious that they could not pass over the bridge, the huge mirror was too weird, Haotian and Demon Moon would not pass through the mirror, so they planned to fly over from the side, but at this time, the statue-like bridge protection beasts instantly came to life and swooped towards the two of them.
The bridge beasts are not as huge as the ancient giant beasts, but they are still shaped like mountains, their strength is very strong, and even Haotian feels that they are more powerful than those ancient giant beasts outside, Haotian and the two of them quickly shuttled in the killing of giant giant beasts, trying their best to avoid the attacks of these giant beasts, but they were still slapped by the claws of a giant beast, Haotian felt as if his body was about to crack, and spit out a large mouthful of blood, Demon Moon successfully dodged all the attacks with his petite figure, but it was obviously not a long-lasting solution, at this time, Haotian's blood seemed to play a magical role again, and those giant beasts smelled the breath of blood, but stopped attacking for a while, but let out a somewhat uneasy roar, and watched Haotian fly over the cliff with the demon moon and land on the opposite bank.
