Chapter 1223: There is only life and death
When he walked to the end of the passage, Xia Fan vaguely saw a light flickering in the distance.
But when he stepped out of the passage, he found himself on a barren mountain full of traces of fire, and the light he had noticed before was no longer visible.
Xia Fan didn't know this barren mountain, but he was not unfamiliar with the traces of fire on it, because this was the scene after the flames burned.
Not only was there not a single trace of weeds or trees on the mountain, but even the stones had melted and flowed down under the blazing flames until they finally solidified into stone again.
Because of such a process, this barren mountain does not look like the sharp edges and corners of ordinary peaks, but is quite round and peculiar.
"What kind of place is this?" Xia Xue then walked out, and when she saw this strange barren mountain, she couldn't help but wonder for a while, and asked casually.
"I'm just like you, and I don't know what this is. Xia Fan shook his head, stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, but found that as far as the eye could see, although there were many mountains and grasses, all of them were lifeless.
Even the sky can't see its original color, as if it is covered with a layer of fine veil, gray, which makes people unconsciously feel a special feeling of depression and depression.
Although there was light between heaven and earth, Xia Fan couldn't see the sun at all even if he tried his best to look into the distance.
This made him wonder more and more about what kind of world this was.
"Someone seems to be coming. Xia Xue said suddenly.
Xia Fan also heard a light, rapid but very neat sound of horses' hooves. It's just that when he followed the prestige, his face changed slightly.
It turned out that at this time it was a troop of cavalry galloping, but neither horses nor people were living creatures.
There was almost no flesh and skin on the horse's body, only a huge thick skeleton with a dark green glow on the skeleton, which looked very strange.
And the dark green flames burning in the horse's eye sockets added a bit of horror to its appearance.
As for the cavalry on horseback, although they were not skeletons, they were also thin as firewood, with armor on their bodies, and their bare hands were as thin as bamboo branches.
"Kill them all!" When he saw Xia Fan and Xia Xue, the cavalry led by him let out a howl, so this group of cavalry rushed straight towards the two of them.
Of course, Xia Fan couldn't hear what their howls meant, but he could read their thoughts, so he knew his intentions.
Obviously, because of the shriveling and decay of their bodies, these cavalrymen can no longer talk and talk like normal living people, so the communication is done through divine thoughts.
......Seeing that Xia Fan didn't mean to make a move, just as Xia Xue was eager to fight with these cavalry from another world, a sharp arrow broke through the air, and then a ray of light fell on the cavalry who rushed to the front.
......The next moment, the arrow burst open, and the dazzling light burst out, as if it was a ray of sunlight.
"Be careful, it's the scorching sun's arrows......" The cavalry who was shot did not have time to finish his words, and was completely swallowed by this dazzling light.
Not only did it turn into ashes scattered in the wind, but even the horse under his crotch was scattered into bones all over the ground.
"What are you doing in a daze, run!" The rapid shout reached the ears of Xia Fan and Xia Xue, and someone in the distance waved towards them quickly, and the person who traveled with them quickly drew their bows and shot arrows.
In the midst of the screaming sound, seven or eight more so-called arrows of the scorching sun were fired.
However, those cavalrymen had already taken precautions, and actually grabbed the shield hanging on their horses' backs and blocked them in front of them, as well as the scorching sun arrow and the dazzling light that burst out when it burst open.
Although these rays did not fall on the cavalry, it was naturally not enough to kill them, but when the light was shining, many fell on the horses, so that black smoke rose from the horses' bodies, and the bones that were originally white and blue turned black under the light, as if they were charred wood.
"What shall we do?" Xia Xue asked.
"Now that you've seen a living person, let's go and see it. Xia Fan said: "But be careful, don't show our bottom." This world is really too weird, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious. ”
"Good. ”
As they spoke, the two ran in the direction of the person who was waving at them.
At this time, the two of them had a tacit understanding to restrain their powerful aura, so much so that now they seemed to be nothing more than the Divine Spirit Realm. It's not too weak, but it's not strong enough to scare everyone.
The person who waved at them saw them running over, but he didn't continue to wait for them, but turned around and ran, and at the same time motioned for Xia Fan and Xia Xue to follow.
"Pursuit!" Xia Fan had just run far before he sensed a roar from the cavalry behind him through his divine thoughts.
Following Xia Fan, he felt the wind whistling around him, and a thick death aura condensed in an instant, and suddenly fell towards the place where they were.
This dead gas turned into dark green raindrops and poured down, instantly covering a radius of more than 3,000 zhang.
"Run!" shouted the man who had previously shot the arrow, and his right hand was raised, and he had already thrown a round bead into the air.
The ......beads burst open, and the dazzling and scorching light rose into the sky, not only evaporating the dark green rain that was pouring down in an instant, but even the dead air within a thousand feet around it was completely gone.
"This is the sun's rays?!" Xia Fan glanced at the light, and couldn't help but feel even more surprised, and there were more doubts in his heart, but he didn't stop to ask.
After running seven or eight hundred miles away with the person who had waved at them before, the man came over and asked with a divine thought, "Are you supposed to come to this netherworld?"
"Is this called the Netherworld?" Xia Fan asked with a divine thought, "We really just came, and we didn't know what was going on when we met that group of cavalry, which was really unlucky." ”
"Those skeleton cavalry patrol the entire Netherworld day and night, and it's normal to encounter them, so it's not bad luck, if you can't touch it, it's bad luck. The man's face was covered with a thick veil, and only two eyes were exposed, and Xia Fan couldn't see his appearance.
"Why do you say that?" Xia Fan continued.
"If it's not the Bone Cavalry, then you might encounter other beasts. The man said, "Maybe we won't dare to show up to save you, and you two will really die." ”
When Xia Xue heard this, she raised her eyebrows, revealing a look of disbelief, but she did not refute it.
"Who are you?" Xia Fan asked, looking at this person.
"Living people. The man said: "In the netherworld, there is no race distinction, only life and death. It's the enemy who dies, it's the friend who lives, that's all, but then again, what world are you from?"
"World of Fire. Xia Fan could hear that these seemed to be unintentional, but in fact, he was taking their words and touching their bottoms, so naturally he wouldn't really tell the truth, so he said casually.
In order to prove that he was not lying, as soon as Xia Fan raised his hand, a raging flame suddenly rose in his palm.
The flames were so intense that they could even burn away the dead air around them, but they weren't flames and flames of extinction. Since he was wary of these living people, Xia Fan naturally would not show his hole cards.
Even Xia Fan even put away the talisman demon fire of his body, and also used a talisman made of lightning strike stone to block the death qi.
"Haven't heard of it. The man shook his head and said, "Anyway, since you have come here, then you are friends, come with me, you have come at the right time, tomorrow is the Festival of the Sun, for those of us who live in the netherworld, this is a big day." ”
"What festival is the Festival of the Sun?" Xia Xue asked curiously.
"In the netherworld, because the death qi, corpse qi, yin qi, etc. are so thick that they are now so gray for many years, only at certain times of the year, will sunlight fall from the sky. The man said, "That's why we made this day the Feast of the Sun." ”
"You have just come here, and you don't know the preciousness of the sun, so you don't understand the importance of the festival of the sun to us. But you'll find out after a few years. This person glanced at Xia Fan and Xia Xue, and said in a tone from someone who came over.
"What's important?" Xia Fan said curiously, "Can you tell us?"
"As you saw just now, the netherworld is full of dead qi, corpse qi, and yin qi, but there is no heaven and earth aura that can really be used for our cultivation, and if we want to fight against the dead things in this world, the best thing to use is of course the sun god light. ”
"And the sun is not always there, so the day of the festival of the sun is especially important for us, to do everything we can to collect the light of the sun god for the following year." ”
"How do you collect sunlight?" Xia Xue asked curiously.
"It's not sunlight, it's the sun god light, and the two are different. This person corrected Xia Xue's words very seriously, but did not answer her question directly, but said: "When you get to the place, you will naturally understand." ”
There was a rush of screams, and then a figure flashed, and it was the man who had shot the Sun Arrow earlier.
His figure was tall, his face was also covered with a veil, and his eyes were full of indifference when he looked at Xia Fan and Xia Xue, and he didn't even say a word, just beckoned and signaled to continue walking.
So the four of them went on again. As they continued to move forward, they began to gather one after another, dressed in similar costumes, all of them covered their faces with veils, and only their eyes were exposed, but judging from their figures, it was obvious that they were not all people, because some were two or three feet high, and even their eyes showed various strange colors.
When these people saw Xia Fan and Xia Xue, their eyes were very calm, and few people took the initiative to talk to them.
Although Xia Fan and Xia Xue felt very weird, they remained silent quite tacitly.
The group didn't just rush to the road, but occasionally stopped to avoid for a while, and at this time, Xia Fan and Xia Xue also understood what the person had said before meant that encountering the so-called skeleton cavalry was not unlucky.
Because along the way, in addition to the skeleton cavalry patrolling around, there are often all kinds of fierce beasts with huge bodies and strong breaths. All of them are dead, and some of the flesh and skin on their bodies have rotted away, leaving only bones, but they are still flying in the air.
When they passed from a low altitude, the powerful sense of oppression really made people feel a strong sense of unease.
