Chapter 145: The Dean's Return (5)
Underworld! Zhan Tao's pupils constricted, and the expression on his face froze, he never dreamed that this place would actually be the underworld! The underworld is the same as the Xuan Ghost Domain, and both are also the realm of the dead. It's just that the underworld receives souls, while the ghost domain receives ghosts.
Zhan Tao looked around carefully, and on both sides of him was a long and brightly lit road, and the flames on the road were all white, with a cold atmosphere. And the flame never flickered, and just floated still in the lantern.
And the surroundings of Yongdao, all of them were shrouded in a black mist, and the black mist flashed a few ghostly lights from time to time, but in a blink of an eye, it was swallowed up by the existence in the black mist, and then returned to calm.
"New Soul, tell me how you got to the Underworld!" a deep voice came again, this time in an unusually cold tone.
As soon as the words fell, Zhan Tao clearly felt that the void air around his body was a little colder at this time. And the neck is more like a sharp blade, as if as long as he doesn't answer, the blade will kill him directly.
"I don't know how it came about. Zhan Tao shook his head and explained with a wry smile, "My companions and I were originally looking for the location of an evil organization in the desert. Unexpectedly, I was sent underground by the enemy using the earth walking formation, and then I passed out. When I woke up, I found that I had come here, but I didn't know where my companions had gone. ”
At this time, he was deeply trapped in the underworld, and his cultivation was blocked again, and in addition, the invisible blade that was always against his neck, so Zhan Tao did not dare to hide anything, and said the truth truthfully. It's just that he was nervous, and Zhan Tao didn't notice it, and the voice called him "new soul".
The voice fell silent, as if vanished. But even so, Zhan Tao didn't dare to relax at all, the invisible blade seemed to tell him that as long as he dared to move, his head would be cut off.
A long time has passed, and Zhan Tao's forehead has already flowed with sweat the size of beans, and he has kept a movement for a long time, as well as a vigilant mind, even if he is a strong Xuanjun, he is a little unable to hold on at this moment.
"Anyway, since you're in the underworld, don't leave. ”
The voice came again, and the tone was still cold, with an unquestionable and unbiased tone. As soon as the words fell, the darkness in the shadows at the corner of the stone gate suddenly crept out, shutting the stone doors on both sides.
Seeing that the stone gate was about to close, Zhan Tao yelled anxiously, "Don't!" The whole person was about to pounce on the stone gate. But at this moment, an extremely cold aura permeated towards him, and the sharp blade on his neck was embedded in his flesh and skin.
Under the threat of death, Zhan Tao did not dare to continue to move at all, and could only watch as the stone gate was closed by darkness. After the stone gate was closed, Zhan Tao found that there were eight huge characters engraved on the stone doors on both sides.
On the left side is written: Enter the underworld. On the right side is written: There is no return.
Looking at Shimen with dull eyes, he didn't expect that he didn't even find the whereabouts of Zhou seniors, so he fell in this underworld.
At this time, several thick black mist poured out from both sides of the road, constantly converging not far in front of Zhan Tao. Almost instantly, a figure in black armor gathered into a figure that was so tall that it was a man at a glance.
The man's face was always filled with a layer of black mist, and he couldn't see his face clearly, "What, are you unwilling to die like this?"
Zhan Tao clenched his fists, his eyes glared angrily at the man in armor in front of him, if he still had Xuan Qi in his body, even if he died, he would have to fight with this man!
"Ignorance. The armored man sneered, his right hand raised, and several black mist instantly gushed out of Zhan Tao's body, and these black mist floated into the man's hand, and in a moment gathered into a spear in the man's hand. The armored man struck out suddenly, stabbing his spear into Zhan Tao's chest.
Zhan Tao's pupils widened, and this shot had completely suppressed the void around him, and he couldn't move at all. His eyes slowly closed, and he said in his heart: Goodbye, Canglan Academy. Let the spear stab him in the chest.
Time passed, but there was no painful sensation in my chest.
Could it be that the armored man's subordinates showed mercy? Zhan Tao was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but slowly open his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the look of doubt that had originally existed under Zhan Tao's eyes was instantly replaced by a look of shock.
I saw that the spear had indeed pierced his chest, but his body was translucent at this time, and although the spear was pierced on his body, it did not cause him the slightest damage.
This......
Zhan Tao thought of something, and suddenly raised his hands in fear, there is a possibility that this will happen, that is, he is already dead at this time, and only his soul state remains!
His hands were also transparent, and he subconsciously glanced down at the ground, which was clean and free of any shadows.
"Don't you understand!" The armored man's voice was still cold and impersonal, pointing at Zhan Tao and continuing, "From the moment you stepped into the underworld, you were already dead. I don't know how you made it to the underworld by avoiding the Dead Sea. But once you enter the underworld, you are a member of the underworld, so go with me. ”
As soon as the words fell, the armored man's spear suddenly began to change into a chain, and the chain was gently raised, accurately put on Zhan Tao's neck, and then turned around and walked towards the corridor.
"Senior, wait!" Zhan Tao used the only strength in his body to grab the chains, and fixed his body so that he would not be dragged away by the armored man.
The black mist on the armored man's face fluttered, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, he could see that he was very angry at this time, stopped his figure, and asked, "What's the matter with you!"
"Is there anyone else who has entered the underworld besides me? Zhan Tao saw the armored man stop, and quickly asked his doubts out.
The armored man pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "There is no one else but you. ”
Zhan Tao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard the armored man say this, since no one else had entered the underworld, then it proved that Senior Zhou and they were okay for the time being.
After the armored man finished answering, he continued to drag the battle waves towards the road.
Zhan Tao reluctantly glanced back at Shimen, he knew that beyond Shimen, there was the world of the living, and he hoped that after Senior Zhou and they found the dean, it would be best not to look for him again. After comforting himself like this in his heart, he didn't resist at all, and directly followed the armored man and walked towards the road step by step.
......
......
......
"Are you sure it's here? ”
On the ground, an old man with a childish face, staring at a place with solemn eyes, asked aloud.
Behind the old man, four people were standing respectfully on one side, and on the other side, there was an unusually large lion-shaped mysterious beast, and the belly of the mysterious beast was gathering a pair of huge wings.
These four people are Zhou He, Qi Feiyu, Gongsun Wuming, Qiu Yue and others, and this mysterious beast is the Flying Winged Lion King. And that old man can make the four teachers treat him so respectfully, who else can there be besides the dean of Canglan Academy.
"I remember it was indeed here. Zhou He glanced around seriously, and finally nodded and said with certainty: "That's right, it's here!"
"What do you guys think?" the old man asked in a deep voice without looking back.
Qi Feiyu and the other three also glanced around seriously, and finally nodded in unison, and said in unison: "Senior Zhou is right, we and Zhan Tao were separated here." ”
"Hmm. The old man nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and stretched out his ruddy hands to touch the ground. After feeling it for a long time, the old man seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he actually lay down his whole body, and his ears were even closer to the ground.
Zhou He and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they saw it, but they didn't dare to ask out loud, they were very afraid of disturbing everything the dean was doing now, and at the same time, they were nervous in their hearts. Zhan Tao has disappeared for more than three months.
Three months ago, after the whirlpool had completely swallowed them, when Zhou He and the others woke up, they found that they were in total darkness and were seriously injured. But fortunately, they always had the pill prepared by Gongsun Wuming before leaving, and after taking the pill, everyone's injuries gradually improved, and they immediately joined forces to penetrate the ground.
When they reached the ground, they found that Zhan Tao was not there, and the anxious people thought that they had pulled down Zhan Tao, so they couldn't help but burrow into the ground again, looking for Zhan Tao's whereabouts.
But they spent three days and three nights searching, almost turning over the entire underground, except for finding the lost elixir of Zhan Tao, but they never found any trace of Zhan Tao.
Everyone could only take chances, guessing that Zhan Tao might have stayed away from here a long time ago, maybe he was looking for the dean on his way at this moment. Since everyone was concerned about the dean's safety at that time, they didn't continue to think about it, so they set off together to continue to find the dean's whereabouts.
But they continued to search for a month, but they never found the dean's whereabouts, so they had no choice but to continue to expand the scope of their search. Two months later, they finally found the code left by the dean in a ruin on the desert border, and they quickly rushed to the address on the code according to the address hint left on the code.
However, after arriving, they couldn't laugh or cry, this place was what they guessed was some evil organization, and it was clearly a paradise. The scenery here is beautiful, the air is refreshing and pleasant, and their dean, the Flying Winged Lion King, is lying on the belly of the Winged Lion King, and his face shows a look of enjoyment.
That look almost made several people feel like they wanted to kill the dean.
Zhou He was even more direct, angrily waving out a mysterious qi and slamming it directly at the dean, waking the dean up very "gently".
The dean looked around sleepily, and when he saw everyone, his whole body was in high spirits, and he cheered to show them the paradise he had discovered.
However, what ushered in was a punch from everyone.
Everyone knows the strength and temper of the dean, so they know the "severity" very well, and they almost hit the flesh!
