Chapter 720: Predator
Hearing that there was really a great power to enlighten the Styx, Mu Yi couldn't help but be interested, this kind of secret thing in the underworld was not something that Jian Jiu could know, and although he was powerful, he was even inferior to Jian Jiu.
On the contrary, Situ Wenjing, whether it is the identity of the Holy Son before or the current lord of Yongzhou City, he is all a high power, and he can be regarded as the real high-level of the human race, so he naturally knows far more things than Mu Yi, that is, some extremely secret things, and he also knows.
"The River Styx, rumored to be the first river in the underworld, was born with the underworld, in ancient times, there was a great power to the River Styx enlightenment, ascended to the throne of the Emperor, he called himself the ancestor of the River Styx, but unfortunately, I don't know what happened later, the River Styx was cut off, and the ancestor of the River Styx also disappeared, and now it only exists in legends." Situ Wenjing did not hide it, but slowly told Mu Yi the truth.
"Cut off the River Styx? Who can have such a great ability? Mu Yi looked at Situ Wenjing with some surprise, although his first reaction was instinctive disbelief, but he understood better that in this kind of matter, Situ Wenjing could not deceive him.
In other words, the Styx River Truncation is indeed a thing, and the Styx Ancestor who has become enlightened with this will definitely be hit hard even if he does not die, and even if he thinks about it more terrifyingly, it is the fall, but this speculation is too terrifying, and no one dares to be sure, even if the Styx Ancestor has no news again, Situ Wenjing only dares to describe it as disappearing, not falling.
This is the power of the Great Emperor, even if it does not come out for tens of thousands of years, it still makes people smell and change, and this kind of existence in the underworld is already at the peak.
"I don't know, maybe there are only three or two people in the entire underworld who can know the truth." Situ Wenjing shook his head and said, although he knows more, he also has a limit, such as the secret things about the Great Emperor, which are also not something he can snoop on.
"But if you think that the Styx Ancestor is missing, the Styx will not be in much danger, then you are very wrong, back then, after the Styx Ancestor became enlightened, he also created a new race, named Shura, the best at fighting, although now the Shura clan has also withered, but within this Styx, the Shura clan is still respected, in addition, those powerful souls who have condensed their minds are also difficult." Situ Wenjing said again.
"Shura?" Mu Yi nodded, and accepted Situ Wenjing's kindness, although he was confident, he would not be careless because of this, after all, the foundation of an emperor's enlightenment, no matter how simple it is, it is impossible to go anywhere.
Moreover, the Shura clan was able to make Situ Wenjing so solemn, which naturally had its powerful reason.
"Thank you Situ City Lord for informing me, I'm afraid I will need more care from Situ City Lord in the next period of time." Mu Yi said directly, no matter how familiar he is with this place, or the place where the Holy Son is tested, he needs to rely on Situ Wenjing's leadership to find it.
"It's just each other, but the place of trial, there is still some distance from here, and at our speed, it will take two days at the earliest, and during this period, as long as you don't go deep into the River Styx, the danger is not great." Situ Wenjing nodded and said.
Since he dared to lead Mu Yi to come, he naturally knew everything clearly, even if Situ Wenjing was only the city lord of Yongzhou City at the moment, but he was the Holy Son of the Temple after all, and in the Temple, he also had his own connections, and it was not too difficult to know the details of this year's Holy Son Trial.
After all, he was a person from the temple, and he would not have thought that Situ Wenjing would be so bold and dare to fight the idea of the Holy Son's trial.
Of course, in Situ Wenjing's eyes, his behavior is not destructive, just to provide a more suitable candidate for the human race, if the Holy Son can't even pass the level of Mu Yi, he will not be qualified to be the Holy Son.
Hasn't the temple always liked to oppress people with righteousness? Now it's time for him to pick up the stick.
If at the beginning, Situ Wenjing was not sure, then with the appearance of the shadow and the discovery in the whirlpool channel, now he is full of confidence in Mu Yi, after all, no matter how strong the Holy Son is, it is only the first three heavens.
Even if there are certain hole cards, he believes that Mu Yi will not let him down.
And if the Holy Son is defeated, it will inevitably be a great blow to the majesty of the temple, which is exactly the result he wants to see, enough to make him honest for a while, at least before he solves the problem of Mu Yi, it is impossible for the right person to order the three major cities.
As for whether Mu Yi will be suppressed by the temple, Situ Wenjing is also not too worried, he and Mu Yi have a relationship of mutual use, of course, the longer Mu Yi lives, the more beneficial it will be to him, and once Mu Yi succeeds in the challenge, then he will get the opportunity to meet the Terran Demi-Saint.
I believe that with Mu Yi's qualifications, coupled with his pure Terran identity, the Terran Half-Saint will also be moved, maybe it is not impossible for a named disciple, at that time, it is a powerful temple, and he will not dare to target Mu Yi again.
After all, the temple was only established by the eight elders, and the demi-saint was above the temple, and it could even be said that he was the patron saint of the human race.
However, being accepted as a registered disciple by the demi-saint is just a fleeting thought of Situ Wenjing, how high is the vision of the existence of the demi-saint? From the beginning of the selection of the Holy Son in the temple, although the Half-Saint instructed him more than once, there was only one Divine Son, who was accepted as a registered disciple by a certain Half-Saint.
After that, the Son left the temple and followed the demi-saint to devote himself to cultivation, and it is not known whether he has gained or lost money for the temple.
There is no sun and moon above the River Styx, its existence is more like an independent space, and the distance above the River Styx is a hundred zhang away, as if there is a layer of enchantment that cannot be seen, even with Mu Yi's strength, it cannot be shaken in the slightest.
And between the enchantment and the River Styx, gray clouds floated by from time to time, and those clouds were all condensed by the qi of extreme yin, and occasionally some powerful souls could even be seen in the clouds, but after feeling the breath of Mu Yi and his party, they fled in embarrassment.
It is true that the revenant soul is fierce, but it also depends on what kind of enemy it encounters, a powerful existence like Mu Yi who can destroy countless revenant souls with every move, unless it is stupid, otherwise these revenant souls who have condensed their minds and are no less intelligent than the human race, how can they deliberately send them to death?
In the River Styx, there is no place to stay, you can only rely on flying in the sky, Mu Yi and Situ Wenjing can hold on, the shadow is undoubtedly much more difficult, as for Jian Jiu, although he can fly with the sword in the sky, so that he can fly when he is at the extreme of the pseudo-celestials, but this way of flying is also extremely power-consuming, so along the way, he has no extra strength to shoot, and when he encounters any undead soul who is not long-eyed, it is basically the shadow to strangle it.
In this process, Mu Yi did not help Jian Jiu, this is also a test for him, if Jian Jiu can't even hold on to this test, then he is not qualified to cross the moat and step into the real realm of heaven and man, and he is not qualified to follow Mu Yi.
After all, in Mu Yi's eyes, the pseudo-celestial can only be regarded as cannon fodder, and it is not of much use, only when he reaches the heavenly man, can he have some use value.
It may sound too red, but that's the reality.
Jian Jiu also understood this truth, so although he almost couldn't hold on several times in the past two days, he still survived by his own will, and at the same time, he also found that in just two days, his cultivation was actually a little purified, which was definitely something that he couldn't think of in ordinary times.
Especially when it came to his realm, it was difficult to improve even a little, but now, it only took two days.
Of course, this may also be related to the special environment of the River Styx, plus he has exhausted his cultivation several times, almost to the point of running out of oil, and surviving with his own will is also equivalent to stimulating his potential, and it is understandable that he can make progress.
"Predator."
On this day, just as the group was about to reach their destination, there was a sudden ripple in the River Styx, and then a living creature came out.
This living creature Mu Yi is no stranger, as early as when he was in the whirlpool passage, he had seen it more than once, it was the little thing like a spider, but the one he saw now was the size of a zhang, and the shell also changed from white jade to scarlet color, and even looked still crystal clear, like red jade.
Eight legs, sixteen eyes, are staring at Mu Yi and his party at the moment.
And Situ Wenjing exclaimed directly.
"Predator?"
Although the name is a little weird, it is not difficult to understand, after all, when Mu Yi saw it before, the other party was preying on the souls in the passage, and since there is one in the passage, then there is naturally one in the Styx, and it is even more powerful.
"It seems that we are lucky to be able to run into a blood jade-level predator." Situ Wenjing glanced at Mu Yi, and then without waiting for Mu Yi to ask, he continued: "This predator is a major feature of the River Styx, specializing in feeding on the souls of the dead, ordinary predators are all at the level of white jade, and the blood jade predator is the king of predators, compared to us and other celestials, it is not inferior, and even with the help of the geographical advantages of the River Styx, it will only be more difficult." ”
"And this predator is extremely vindictive, once it is targeted, it will be an endless end."
"But the good news is that this predator should have just been promoted not long ago, and his strength is not too strong, and the blood jade-level predator is full of treasures, which is even more rare."
At this point, Situ Wenjing had already explained very clearly, and the reason why he didn't say how to deal with it was just waiting for Mu Yi to get an idea, after all, he was just a predator who had just advanced.
"It's a rare opportunity, Situ City Lord doesn't mind my entourage practicing his hands, right?" Mu Yi said directly.
"Oh, you can call the shots." Although Situ Wenjing glanced at Jian Jiu next to him in some surprise, he had no opinion, in the past two days, he and Mu Yi have become a little more familiar, and his title has become Daoyou.
Without waiting for Mu Yi to continue speaking, Jian Jiu on the side had already stood up.
(Well, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, continue to pay New Year's greetings, and thank Sister Yu for crossing the hills, and the anonymous brother's reward.) )
