Chapter 14: The Nether Outcasts
That night, Akasu stayed awake and rested all night in a state of cross-knee meditation. The sound of snoring and dreams in the house, the sound of bone flutes blowing by someone in the distance, accompanied by the endless sound of the waves, filled the room.
When he woke up in the morning, Moldor saw Akasu meditating cross-legged. I couldn't help but think that maybe it was my own snoring that made Akasu unable to sleep, and felt very embarrassed. Before Akasu could open his eyes, he crept out of the room and ran to his master, Kuimu.
The next day, Elder Kuimu did not make any special arrangements for the children, but just asked everyone to prepare to enter the lost land and disappeared. Akasu originally wanted to meet the saint at breakfast time and say a few words, but unfortunately, the saint and Elder Yinhua went to the main island early, so they had to give up. Mordo didn't bother Akasu either, and concentrated on tinkering with a broken circle he had obtained from the treasure market. Akasu sat cross-legged for a while, and then looked around the island by himself.
Although it was daytime, a faint shadow of the moon could be seen in the dark red sky, but it was much dimmer than at night. Akasu seemed to be walking aimlessly, but he was actually approaching a spot that he had guessed in his mind. The sound of the bone flute that sounded last night gave Akasu an urge to find out.
The area of the skull islet is not large, about a distance of more than two thousand meters. In a moment, Akasu was at the spot where the bone flute sounded. This location is actually a bottomless cave, about a zhang wide and narrow, surrounded by weathered bone fragments. Akasu judged that this cave should be naturally formed, perhaps formed after a certain part of the giant ** dome fell off. Looking at this cave, Akasu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better not to explore, there are too many strange things in this kingdom of gods, and it is better to be careful.
After Akasu left, a figure stepped out of the cave, none other than the one-armed Terran man that Akasu had noticed that day. The man looked at Akasu's distant figure, smiled twitchingly at the corners of his mouth, and jumped into the cave in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, it was night again, and Akasu promised Moldor the invitation to go to the main island with him on the third day to open his eyes, and finally escaped the plan to ask the two of them to quietly set off to see the prosperity of the island tonight. That night, Mordo was afraid that snoring would affect Akasu's rest, so he said that he was going to practice at Master Kuimu, leaving Akasu alone in the room.
At midnight, the ethereal sound of the bone flute sounded like a cry, and Akasu looked out the window at the moonlit infinite sea, and the ghost sent the god out of the room. Guided by the sound of the bone flute, Akasu came to the black thing again. For some reason, Akasu at night wanted to jump into the cave on a whim.
Suddenly, Akasu jumped down into the black cavern.
At first, the cave was only a few meters away from the vertical, and then it was like a slope, and it slid down quickly with Akasu's body, and after a few moments of sliding, Akasu was covered in a cold sweat as if he had suddenly sobered up. How could he jump into this cave, a sense of impending crisis made Akasu calm down in an instant. Akasu used his sea mana to bless himself with a light body charm, allowing himself to slide as slowly as possible in the sloping cavern, while pulling out a dagger and holding it in his hand.
The cave ** is very slippery, I think it is because of the long-term being on the infinite seaside, and the slippery cave smells of fishy and damp from time to time. Akasu didn't care about this, worried that the cave ** was poisonous, so he carried out the work of holding his breath early, relying on the energy stored in the dantian position to support the operation of the entire body. After a while, Akasu fell to the bottom of the cave. Akasu used the night market spell, and the bottom of the dark cave was as clear as day. I saw that the bottom of the cave was covered with white bones, and some of the white bones were broken into slag when stepped on because of the long time. In the endless pile of bones, a man sat cross-legged on it, playing the bone flute leisurely.
The man was visibly surprised to see Akasu fall into the hole, not unconscious or dead. Then he showed a cruel smile and played the bone flute even harder. The bone flute was supposed to be an audio magic weapon, and Akasu immediately realized this in his heart. This bone flute is the same type of magic weapon as the silver flute used by the gray-clothed man who tracked him in the Celestial Fantasy Realm. However, at this time, Akasu was far from the level of the Yerusi Gong in the illusion, and even if he judged that the other party was using the magic weapon of the illusion array, he still couldn't resist it.
Am I going to die here? I can't fall asleep, I can't fall asleep, Akasu braced his eyelids, which were getting heavier and heavier. The whole body seems to be getting heavier and heavier, and I want to fall down and sleep beautifully immediately.
At the moment when Akasu was about to fall unconscious, the demon wolf figure on his chest emitted bursts of ghostly light. A ghost figure floated out of the Demon Wolf Howling Moon and attached itself to Akasu's body. In an instant, Akasu came to his senses, and his body seemed to be uncontrollable towards the man who was sitting on the pile of bones and playing the bone flute. The man obviously didn't expect that Akasu would suddenly burst out and attack him at this time, and he was overwhelmed by the beating in a hurry.
"I didn't expect that there were still people on this first island who could resist the sound of my ghost flute, who are you, and what does it have to do with the Nether Ghost Sect?" the one-armed man asked as he grappled with Akasu
At this time, although Akasu was conscious, his body was not controlled at all, and it was difficult to even open his mouth to speak. He could only let the ghost control his body and attack the one-armed man. After about half a column of fierce fighting, the one-armed man realized that he was no match, turned and ran towards the exit of the cave. The moment the man turned to leave, a violent energy that did not belong to this world rushed out of Akasu's chest. As soon as he grabbed it, the man's whole body was broken, and he looked in horror at Akasu, who was walking towards him step by step.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I shouldn't steal the treasure map of the sect, please let me go" The one-armed man said with tears in his eyes
The ghost image knew that the man on the other side had no strength to fight back, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Akasu's body to the demon wolf howling moon map on his chest. Akasu, who had regained control of his body, would not have any sympathy for the one-armed man in front of him who had wanted to kill him, holding a dagger in one hand, standing two meters away from the man and looking at the man in front of him like a puddle of rotten meat.
"Give me a reason not to kill you," Akasu said coldly, as if he had been a night in the past
"I am a member of the Nether Ghost Sect, our sect is a big sect in the Lost Land, if you kill me, the sect will find you for revenge," the man said in horror
"Didn't you just say that you stole the treasure map of the sect, for an outcast who eats inside and out, I'm afraid your sect wants to kill you more than I do. Akasu shook the dagger in his hand and said
"I have a great creation, I don't know if you dare to ask for it, if you promise me to let me live, I will give you this creation, how about it?" the man said through gritted teeth
"Tell me first, what if I'm not interested," Akasu said noncommittally
"Baby, I've been looking for many years, and finally settled on the first island of this infinite sea, but it's a pity that I haven't found a specific location on this first island for two years. That treasure is said to have been a drop of the power of the Xuanwu Heavenly Venerable back then, and it was given to his apprentice, who fell in this lost place during the Great War of Gods and Demons. I searched for many years before I was sure that the apprentice of the Xuanwu Heavenly Venerable was the giant tortoise of the desolation that turned into the first island, and that drop of origin power would definitely not disappear, but I didn't know where it was hidden on the first island. The one-armed man said cautiously
"You killed the owner of these white bones?" Akasu looked at the mountain of white bones, and the murderous thought arose in his heart
"Most of them fell to their deaths by jumping off from my Nether Flute's illusion, and a small number of them were killed by me. I escaped from the sect and wandered in the lost land for many years, and the savings I brought out have long been spent, I just want their possessions and I don't want their lives at all," the one-armed man defended
"Oh, yes, then you can explain to me why there are so many of us in our group, and only I have fallen for your illusion," Akasu laughed
"This ...... Forget it, kill if you want, this is the secret method of the sect, you just kill me, I can't say" The one-armed man looked at Akasu ruthlessly and said
"It's just you and me here, I don't say it, no one knows what you said, right? Life is such a precious thing, only once, with life can you cultivate the secret method and find the treasure to create. You died here today, who knew about your feat of sacrificing your life to protect the secret method of the sect?" said Akasu as if he knew the most secret thoughts of people's hearts.
The man pondered for a moment and said, "The reason why I used illusion against you is because I feel a strong dark energy in you, you know that the most secret cultivation method of our Nether Ghost Sect is to continuously refine the dark energy into your body, when one day the light and dark cycle yin and yang fish is born in the body, the mana in the body will be endless, and it will not be exhausted." I will play a requiem in this cave every day, and within ten meters of the cave, both orcs and terrans will jump into the cave uncontrollably**, and I rely on devouring the flesh and blood essence of these people to maintain my cultivation. It wasn't until I met you at the inn that day, and a trace of dark energy in my body approached you uncontrollably, that I realized that there should be a very strong dark energy in your body. I have a hunch that if I devour your body, then there is a good chance that I will be able to break through, and even reach the realm of the gods. That's why I used the secret method of the ghost flute of the sect to lure you down, you have dark energy in your body, and you will be very sensitive to the sound of the ghost flute of the Netherworld Sect. It's just that I didn't expect that you are also a fellow practitioner of ghost arts. Today, I have confessed to Yousan, if you want to kill me, I have nothing to say, if you let me live, I will swear to the Netherworld God that I will help you find the origin of that Heavenly Venerable. ”
