Chapter 274: What I Saw in the Abyss

Li Qian hugged me tightly in mid-air, neither Qilin nor him seemed to be able to float up when they fell, and there seemed to be an invisible suction force in this abyss, constantly dragging us down.

"Yue'er, don't worry, I'm with you for my husband." As he spoke, with a little strength, I gradually freed myself from my anxiety and hugged him casually.

"I know, as long as I'm with you, there's nothing to be afraid of."

All the way down, in addition to the sound of the wind, there was endless wailing, and waves of sound came from time to time.

It was only when I was in the abyss that I realized that the sound I heard in the barracks before seemed to control the "roar" of the abyssal demon beast, but it was actually the wail here, and it was only after the processing of the deep valley and human ears that it became the way we heard.

It fell for a while, and it seemed that the suction force of the dragging person had weakened a little, and we gradually slowed down the fall, and then there seemed to be something under our feet, Li Qian tightened my waist, and we fell to the ground together.

The sky above is no longer clear to see, and the surroundings are gloomy, if it weren't for Li Qian being by my side, the bursts of wails from time to time would be enough to make people tremble.

"Looks like this is the bottom of the abyss." Li Qian replied, "Before, no one had ever talked about what it looked like underneath, but now we have seen it with our own eyes." ”

In order to make my mood better, I also deliberately used a mocking tone to try to lighten up the atmosphere: "In that case, let's wander around and see what we can find." Sometimes, it seems like a good idea to have an adventure into the abyss of the unknown! ”

Li Qian replied softly, pulling me with his right hand, and lighting a phosphorus fire with his left hand, and the surroundings became less dark.

The unicorn still covered me in the form of armor, but there was no word for a moment, and we held hands to get a closer look at the bottom.

I remember that the place where I fell seemed to be a crack, as if it had been split alive with a knife and axe, and the situation on the other side and below was unknown to anyone.

Now it seems that the crack is very deep, all the way to the bottom of the abyss, and there is nothing else to be found around it except for some rocks.

"I really want to know how those abyssal demon beasts got there." I touched the stone wall behind me, it was very rough, Li Qian leaned over the phosphorus fire, and I could see countless scratches.

"Maybe I climbed up directly." He replied, and we looked up again, and it was hard to imagine that those ferocious monsters should have to climb up from such a precipitous place with so much effort.

It may be dangerous, but what are they trying to do?

"Yue'er, I want to go inside for my husband." Li Qian pointed to the endless black, "Abyss demon beasts are born from there, if we can figure out the reason for their appearance and destroy them, there will be no more existence that threatens the Netherworld." ”

I was naturally willing to go along, so I nodded: "If you really have to climb to be able to go up, let's just come back and climb again, what you said, I am also a little curious." ”

With a sense of curiosity, we walked into the darkness hand in hand.

There was a constant wail in that direction, as if it were a call and a draw, and we took a step forward, and suddenly our feet were empty.

"It's amazing that someone can come here......"

In the darkness, a voice came, neither male nor female, neither old nor young, and it seemed to contain it all.

"Who are you?" I held Li Qian's hand tightly, a little nervous, we didn't fall, and there was nothing under my feet, I was suspended.

"I ...... Who is it? It seemed to be thinking, and after a while it replied, "It's been too long, and I don't remember who I am......"

"Then why are you here?" I asked again.

"I forgot too." It replied, "But I know that I can't leave from here." ”

Li Qian snorted coldly and threw a lot of phosphorus fire around, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, except for the fire that quickly extinguished, we didn't see anything.

"This young man seems to be quite angry." The voice said teasingly, not angry.

Li Qian narrowed his purple eyes slightly: "Because I think you guys are pretending to be ghosts." ”

"Tut-tut...... Aren't you a ghost? It smacked its lips, "And I, am I a god or not?" ”

I looked around and saw no one in sight, so I asked, "Can you tell us how the Abyss Demon Beast came into being, and how we got out of here?" ”

"Abyssal Demon Beasts......" it pondered for a moment, "You're talking about these cuties, right?" ”

As he spoke, a demon beast appeared in the void, standing there bewildered with its mouth open, but it was much smaller than the one we had killed.

"This may be what you call the Abyss, a species that arises naturally here, and has grown up devouring something called resentment."

As the voice spoke, we saw a gray glowing air mass float over, and the little demon beast jumped up and ate it in its mouth.

Then, another strand, it kept devouring, growing up, and its appearance became more and more ferocious.

"Look, that's it, they devour their grievances, they grow up, and then they go somewhere with their grievances, and they end their lives." As the voice spoke, we watched as the abyssal beast grew, then swayed away before disappearing into the void.

"However, these guys will run up from the abyss every once in a while to disturb the Netherworld, and at that time, there will be many ghost clans to destroy them, otherwise these guys will attack them, and the Netherworld will not be peaceful."

"Oh, it happens once in a while." The voice replied, "You know, if something accumulates too much, there will be accidents, and in a group, there will always be a few people who look more special. ”

Another group of Nether Demon Beasts appeared in front of us, they were also constantly devouring resentment, one seemed to be more irritable than the others, and grabbed more, and quickly grew up, and bit the other demon beasts alive, ate them into their stomachs, and then turned into behemoths, just like those guys we killed.

Then, as if it saw us, it lunged in this direction. Li Qian stretched his hand forward, and a golden light burst out, directly shattering it. And other demon beasts in the abyss were generated, dividing up the scattered resentment.

Watching its body turn into a little starlight and disappear, the voice spoke again: "Look, this seems to be the case. The demon beast devours the resentment, and the people of the ghost clan destroy the so-called abyss demon beast, and after the demon beast dies, the resentment drifts away again and becomes the food of other demon beasts...... All of this is a cycle. ”

"These monsters are very strange, what is the point of their way of survival?" I don't understand.

"Human beings, there are many beings in this world and it doesn't necessarily have to be of any special significance. Or rather, they don't necessarily exist as you understand them to exist. "I don't know how long I've been here, but I don't think there's anything wrong with watching these guys be born, grow, and die." ”

"That's how they live, and don't you want to know where all this resentment comes from?" It finished with interest, waiting for our answer.

"Where else could it come from, naturally it was the human world." Li Qian snorted coldly, "Only creatures in the human world will send out resentment, and they will not linger after death." ”

"That's right." The voice replied approvingly, "This world has its own unique laws, and anyone and everything must operate according to the laws, otherwise the world will be derailed." ”

"You may be thinking: as long as you kill the existence that caused the abyss demon beast to spawn, the ghost clan can live in peace, right? I can honestly tell you that that's not possible. These abyssal demon beasts are an inevitable product of this world, and people's resentment is a kind of negative energy, which needs to be digested by someone to prevent it from accumulating too much and jeopardizing the balance of the world. ”

"It's like devouring beasts that have been silently devouring all negative energy in the human world, and they are also necessary for the operation of this world."

I thought of steamed buns, when Li Qian surrendered to it, he did introduce it, this guy eats everything, especially some negative energy things, it can be said to be a scavenger in the human world. So the abyssal monster beast is the scavenger of the netherworld?

"According to you, these demon beasts are actually indispensable beings in the Netherworld and even the entire world, but why do they want to attack the ghost clan?" Thinking about it, I still can't get a good feeling for these guys.

The voice thought for a moment, "Let me give you an example. Don't you humans like some negative energy things, sometimes you carry too much, and you want to go crazy? ”

I nodded, "That's true." ”

"The same goes for these monsters." The voice said, "All they have in their consciousness is to devour their grievances, but some of them are very powerful and can affect their emotions, and then they will go berserk. ”

"This abyss is unimaginably large, and such monsters may spawn in every corner at any time. Once their numbers have grown to a certain number, they will want to get out of here, because the constant hunger of their stomachs makes them even more unable to control themselves. ”

"So, they keep going up the rocks at the bottom of the abyss, and then climb out to find trouble with the ghost clan?" I asked in acknowledgment.

"Let's just put it that way." The voice replied, "You can also understand that this is the fate of the ghost clan. The world is like this, and it goes on and on. ”

I turned to Li Qian with some regret: "It seems that we can't kill them." ”

He squinted slightly: "Yue'er, do you believe what that guy said so much?" ”

"How?" I didn't understand what he meant.

"This guy has never shown his face at all, just a few words, a few pictures want us to believe, when people are children who have never seen the world?" Li Qianleng snorted, "I admit that this world has its own rules, but why do you make us believe that what you say is absolutely correct?" ”

The voice smiled: "Ghost King, you have indeed lived for thousands of years, but I have outlived you. I can't even forget when I've been here since I told you all this only because you were the first to reach the bottom of the abyss in thousands of years. ”

"Oh, is that true?" Li Qian suddenly burst out with the power of the ghost king, and the darkness around him was like a lit piece of paper, quickly fading away in mottling.

A bright space is revealed, with a person floating cross-legged in the middle.
