Chapter 37: The Tomb of the Pluto
"Little master, where are we going next? β
Xiang Niang followed behind Ye Qingtian, bowing her head, looking a little absent-minded.
Ye Qingtian had already changed the blood-stained clothes on his body, and when he heard Xiang Niang's words, he also looked a little confused.
At present, there are people chasing them almost everywhere on the entire Monster Island, and with his current strength, there must be no hope of leaving the Monster Island.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingtian settled down and said, "Find a place first to improve your strength." β
Xiang Niang looked up at Ye Qingtian's side face, and then listlessly ripped off a weed beside her.
"Those people seem to know our whereabouts, and now that the whole island is theirs, where can they hide?"
Ye Qingtian frowned, Xiang Niang's own cultivation was very weak, and she had indeed experienced some things with him during this period of time.
Ye Qingtian can also understand Xiang Niang's discouraged appearance now, but what Xiang Niang said is not unreasonable.
Those people seemed to know their whereabouts all along, which made Ye Qingtian feel very puzzled.
Could it be that there are other people on this monster island who have the ability to communicate with thousands of living beings.
In other words, there are people on Monster Island who have practiced the art of divination and evolution.
This kind of magic also existed in ancient times, but on this monster island, it is indeed possible.
"Chirp chirp..."
When Ye Qingtian was at a loss, the little bee suddenly screamed, waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and kept jumping on Xiang Niang's shoulder.
"Huh?" Ye Qingtian didn't know what the little bee wanted to express at this time, so he couldn't help asking, "Do you have any way?"
"Haw, chirp, chirpβ" The little bee nodded heavily, and then looked back in the direction of the Underworld.
Ye Qingtian didn't know why, thought for a while, and then grabbed Xiang Niang.
"Let's go!"
As he spoke, Ye Qingtian rose up, and under the guidance of the little bee, he leaped towards the direction of the Underworld.
However, this time they did not reach the center of the underworld, but stopped on a dry mountain.
"Chirp chirp..."
The little bee jumped off Xiang Niang's body and pointed towards a dry riverbed under the dry mountain.
Ye Qingtian first glanced around, and through his divine sense, there was not a single fierce beast within a radius of several kilometers.
Or even that there is nothing living except for a few dense trees.
Moreover, on the dry mountain under their feet, the soil is extremely soft and dry, and there is no vegetation on it, it is bare, with a dusty feeling, and I don't know how long it has been since a new life has grown.
Staring at the direction pointed by the little bee, Ye Qingtian looked towards the riverbed, compared to the dry mountain, the riverbed was nothing special except for many dry cracks.
Ye Qingtian looked at the little bee with an excited look on his face at this time, and came to the riverbed with doubts.
The soil on the riverbed is so hard that if you don't see it clearly, you might even think you're stepping on a rock.
It's just that when Ye Qingtian turned his head to look at the dry mountain again, his face suddenly showed surprise.
Before, on the dry mountain, Ye Qingtian didn't notice anything, and it wasn't until he stood in front of the dry mountain now that he realized that this dry mountain was shaped like a big tomb.
In the air, looking down at the dry mountain, he could only see a little white spot, only by standing on this riverbed, he could see clearly, Ye Qingtian almost couldn't believe that there was such a big tomb in the underworld.
Let him be so sure that the dry mountain is a big tomb, or because at the foot of the dry mountain, a huge tombstone appeared.
The tombstone is built in the mud of the dry mountain, not to the front, and the rest of the direction is not visible.
"Chirp chirp..."
The little bee croaked, but not as cheerful as before, but with some sadness.
After that, the little bee flew from Xiang Niang's back to the tombstone, knelt down, and kept kowtowing to it.
Ye Qingtian could clearly see that there was some mist in the little bee's dark eyes at this time.
"Pluto!"
Ye Qingtian recognized the ancient characters on the tombstone, and had already come to a conclusion in his heart.
This large tomb is likely to be the place where the little bee people are buried.
Ye Qingtian and Xiang Niang didn't bother the little bee, and let him stand quietly in front of the tombstone.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the little bee flew up from above the ground.
"Chirp chirp..."
Turning around, he shouted happily at Ye Qingtian and the others, and then a faint halo emanated from his body, and the two tentacles above his head also began to tremble at this time, and then the phantom of a key appeared.
The phantom was above the head of the little bee, and it sank into the tombstone, and the tombstone shuddered, and a door suddenly opened.
Inside the gate, it was pitch black, and nothing inside was visible from the outside.
"Chirp chirp..."
The little bee returned to Xiang Niang's shoulder and made a urging sound at Ye Qingtian.
"You let us in?" Ye Qingtian stared at the little bee and asked out loud.
"Chirp, chirp...," the little bee nodded heavily.
Ye Qingtian no longer hesitated, since the little bee brought him to this place, even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den, he had to break through.
Because now they really have no choice, and they have been hiding in the underworld, for a long time, it must be impossible.
Although in the Underworld, Ye Qingtian would not be afraid of anyone in the outside world, but the Underworld suppressed his cultivation and could not allow him to absorb spiritual energy, and if he wanted to improve his strength, he would definitely not be able to do it.
Entering the gate, it was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, and even the sunlight outside the gate couldn't shine in normally, which was very weird.
"Huh?"
Ye Qingtian felt the environment inside and let out a sigh of surprise.
The aura in this is extremely rich, and it is not suppressed in any way, so he can easily operate the spiritual power in his body.
Bang dang...
With a soft sound, the door slammed shut, Xiang Niang was startled, and pulled Ye Qingtian's clothes tightly, with a terrifying look in her eyes, looking at the surrounding environment that was not visible at all.
"Chirp chirp..."
The little bee has a faint glow on its body and leads the way ahead.
Carving out a talisman, through the light, Ye Qingtian could see that they were currently in the middle of a passage, with hard stone walls on both sides.
On the stone wall, there are many murals, all of which are the deeds of some underworld, so it seems that this is indeed the tomb of the underworld.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Qingtian could already see the faint light coming from front of him, which was very faint, it should have come from the candlelight.
Under the leadership of the little bee, Ye Qingtian walked out of the passage.
In front of you is a huge space, surrounded by several oil lamps that have burned for an unknown number of years.
Underneath it was a large pool filled with a black, viscous liquid.
Ye Qingtian could clearly see that in the liquid, there were countless coffins neatly placed.
The coffin was small, about the size of two palms, but it was made of extremely rare Styx wood.
Styx wood, which is said to have grown on the banks of the River Styx, is extremely hard and comparable to a god's fall, and is an excellent material for forging divine weapons.
It's just that the River Styx has only appeared once in the long history of the Four Extremes Dao Earth, which has led to the extreme scarcity of Styx wood in the outside world.
"Could it be that as the elders of your clan said, is there really a River Styx in this Stygian Forest?" Ye Qingtian felt a little incredible.
Before, Dongshan Shi told him that he was just listening, and then he saw the little bee of the god of the underworld, so he had some guesses.
It wasn't until he had entered this Pluto tomb and seen the huge pool in front of him that he was sure.
The black, viscous liquid in the pool is the water of the River Styx, that is, the water of the Extreme Yin.
At present, Ye Qingtian and the others did not feel the cold of the water of the River Styx, but he knew very well that as long as they touched it, they would definitely be frozen into a lifelike ice sculpture in an instant.
"Is this the place where the little bees used to live?"
Accustomed to the environment, Xiang Niang began to look around, her face full of curiosity.
Ye Qingtian nodded, bypassed the pool, came to the back of the pool, and said, "A huge magic circle has been laid here, completely separating this place from the outside world, even the Heavenly Machines can't snoop on it. β
A celestial machine is a person who has cultivated the art of divination and evolution, and this kind of person can evolve some things he wants to know through divination.
However, this kind of person is easy to peek into the heavens, not only has a short lifespan, but also easily attracts heavenly disasters.
Therefore, this kind of people were almost extinct in ancient times, and few inheritances remained, and even if there were, they were only some people who knew how to fur.
Xiang Niang nodded slightly, but he didn't understand anything, but he didn't continue to ask more, after all, she was really not interested in this.
"It seems that this little guy has a lot of treasures. β
During the observation, Ye Qingtian came to a small platform, which was piled up with all kinds of precious materials and elixirs, forming a small mountain.
"Chirp chirp..."
Hearing Ye Qingtian's voice, the little bee immediately flew over, opening his hands to block in front of Ye Qingtian, preventing Ye Qingtian from approaching.
Ye Qingtian was made to smile bitterly by the little bee's actions, and then said: "So many elixirs, put them here and waste them, why don't I help you practice the elixir, so that you can make full use of it." β
Hearing Ye Qingtian say that she wanted to make alchemy, Xiang Niang also followed, she worshipped Ye Qingtian as a teacher, just to learn alchemy.
The little bee touched his head and hesitated, then glanced at Ye Qingtian with a warning gaze and nodded.
Ye Qingtian saw that the little bee got out of the way, so he took out a withered dragon blood root from the many elixir piles.
Dragon blood root, elixir and other ranks, are necessary for refining dragon blood pills, compared with quenching body pills, dragon blood pills have the effect of refining the flesh.
