Chapter 138: Devouring the Corpse
After everyone left the dome hall, they had their own chances.
Compared to Ning Xiu's experience in the underworld and Yu Sasha's crossing of the starry sky, Lady Whitebone's experience was much more normal.
She never left the mausoleum, and after a long passage, she found a stone chamber.
The door of the stone chamber was not closed, and in the door, there was a faint reflection of precious light.
Mrs. Bai Gu was in good spirits, and the wrinkles on her face were stretched, like blooming chrysanthemum petals, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart: "It seems that I have chosen the right passage!"
But she didn't lose her mind because of this sudden surprise.
She cautiously approached the stone chamber to make sure there was no danger before she flew through the portal.
But I saw that there was a huge crystal coffin in the stone room, and the crystal coffin was full of Xinghai Stone, as well as many other rare and exotic treasures, including all kinds of rare high-grade materials, and even treasures of the treasure soldier and even the god soldier.
These treasures are stacked together, reflecting each other with a strange brilliance, which makes people dazzled.
As a true person who has entered the Dao, there are many powerhouses in the sea of stars, and Mrs. White Bone is also a person who has seen a big scene, but she has never seen so many treasures in her life.
Any treasure here, if taken outside, is enough to make the true people of the Dao fight for blood.
Lady Bones' gaze swept over these treasures one by one, and her eyes were full of shock.
But she didn't rush forward, since she entered the ghost gate, almost everything was weird.
There is money to be made, but there is also a life to spend.
Although the treasure is good, if even the life is gone, then there is still an egg.
Lady Bones knew that this place was strange, and out of caution, she stepped forward in person, but from afar, she used her true power to condense into a spiritual power hand to grab it.
Originally, she thought that there was some prohibition outside this crystal coffin, but she didn't know that the big hand that transformed into spiritual power actually reached into the crystal coffin very smoothly and took out the treasure inside.
As the spiritual power hand slowly withdrew, seeing that those powerful treasures were about to arrive, the smile on the face of the White Bone Lady became brighter and brighter, and every wrinkle on her face was filled with a smile.
At this moment, those jeweled treasures suddenly shattered, turning into a puff of smoke and sweeping towards her.
Lady Bones screamed miserably and fell directly to the ground.
"Ahh
The terrible screams continued to echo in the stone room, and the moment Lady Bones came into contact with the "smoke", her flesh instantly rotted and fell to the bone.
Because of the pain, her whole body spasmed and convulsed, and the appearance was really miserable.
Fortunately, the pain did not last long, and soon the struggle of the White Bone Lady gradually stopped, and the sound of breathing slowly became lighter, until it disappeared completely, and finally after a violent trembling, she stopped moving completely.
And the "rot" that penetrated into the bones on his body soon spread all over his body, and a real person who entered the Dao turned into a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye.
Lady Bones has really become a pile of bones, but in the past, she made others turn into bones, but today it was her turn.
It's ironic.
And the "smoke" left the pile of white bones on the ground, transformed into the appearance of a treasure again, and lay quietly in the crystal palace, waiting for the arrival of the next prey.
......
Ning Xiu, who wandered in the underworld, still did not find the legendary river Styx.
Even the sound of "whooshing" water seems to be close at hand.
Not only did he fail to find the River Styx, but he was in great trouble, not because of the living dead in the Underworld, but because of a bug.
This insect is so small that it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it with the naked eye, but thousands of these insects gather together to form a terrifying smoke.
These insects are constantly killed, and often as soon as this wave is extinguished, another wave comes out and continues to attack Ningxiu.
This is a species of bug endemic to the Underworld, called the Corpse Eater.
Corpse eaters have a strong sensitivity to the qi and blood of living beings, and like to devour the flesh and blood of living beings. A corpse devourer is not terrifying, even the lowest-level qi practitioner is enough to deal with, but thousands of corpse devouring insects are enough to devour the flesh and blood of a real person who has entered the Dao in an instant......
"Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui, Bagua Array, Qi!" Ning Xiu's right hand volleyed the talisman, and he actually directly cast the talisman array.
The "smoke" behind him has been biting Ning Xiu, and if it continues like this, it will be caught up by it sooner or later, rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to attack.
Ning Xiu looked coldly at this group of hideous and terrifying insects, word by word, and said coldly: "Dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, Xun is the wind, earthquake is thunder, Kan is water, separation is fire, Gen is the mountain, and Dui is Ze." Open the door, get away from the fire!"
As soon as the words fell, a burst of red glow suddenly lit up in the sky above the underworld, and blazing flames surged out, engulfing the insect swarm in an instant.
Insects are afraid of fire, this is common sense, so Ning Xiu then remembered to use fire to deal with this swarm of smoke and pressure.
Unfortunately, this is no ordinary insect.
The blazing flames did burn a lot of corpse eaters, but more swarms broke out of the flames, and continued to chase Ning Xiu with fire.
"What the hell is this?"
Ning Xiu frowned, he could only continue to run, although he was very confident in his immortal golden body, but if something went wrong, he didn't want to try this taste of ten thousand insects devouring his heart.
But things in the world are like this, often the good does not work, but the bad work is extremely effective.
Now, maybe the taste of ten thousand insects devouring the body, Ning Xiu really wants to taste it.
I saw a wide and boundless river of blood blocking his way, and he had been looking for the River Styx, which had not appeared for so long, and it was at this time that he had not died.
In just a few moments, the swarm of insects suppressed by the smoke had already caught up.
The River Styx is vast and immense, and it is naturally very dangerous to cross the river without knowing its details. Before he came into contact with cultivation, Ning Xiu had already heard too many legends about the River Styx, so he would never choose to cross the river as a last resort.
Compared with the unknown danger, the group of insects behind them is safer.
At the same time that Ning Xiu opened his golden body, dense corpse devouring insects instantly covered his body, constantly gnawing and devouring, consuming his true power to protect his body.
After only a moment, Ning Xiu realized that he was wrong, although these corpse devourers didn't even have the cultivation in the early stage of Qi cultivation, they were unexpectedly strong in protecting the true qi of the body and the destruction of the physical body.
It seems that he was born to be the nemesis of a strong person in refining his body.
The most important point is that they are endless, and Ning Xiu really suspects that he will not be able to support himself before he breaks out of the encirclement.
As time passed, even the golden body began to fade.
Ning Xiu could even predict the scene where his own flesh and blood would be devoured by this swarm and his bones would be covered by it. He knew that time was running out for himself.
With a hint of determination in his eyes, he turned and jumped into the River Styx.
......
On the other side, the endless starry sky.
Yu Shasha stood in front of the smoky coffin, only to feel a chill in her back.
Whose coffin is this?
Where have the people gone now?
At this time, she had too many doubts in her heart, and at this moment, the entire starry sky suddenly changed drastically.
I saw that the stars in the sky began to fall one after another, with dazzling light passing past Yu Sasha.
The entire starry sky instantly dimmed, and only one star remained in the sky.
It is the only one in the desert canopy that blooms there with remarkable brilliance.
Yu Shasha stared at the star, thoughtful, and after a while, she jumped directly into the coffin and lay down.
The moment she jumped into the coffin, the lid began to close slowly......
The dark red surface of the River Styx, bubbles are constantly tumbling.
The moment those corpse eaters touched the River Styx, they let out a terrible scream and were instantly annihilated. When the rest of the insect swarm saw Ning Xiu jumping into the River Styx, they didn't dare to enter at all, they didn't even dare to hover over the River Styx, and they only left after a few chirps on the shore.
On the other hand, Ning Xiu saw that he was covered in dark gold, and sank straight to the bottom of the lake.
The water rippled, and Ning Xiu opened his eyes, wanting to see what was in the river Styx. But he searched for a long time, but still found nothing.
There were no stones, no water plants, no living creatures, nothing but smoke.
He just kept falling, falling all the time......
It seems like there is no end.
When Ning Xiu came to his senses again, he found that he had returned to the mausoleum.
He stood in place, and for a moment he was a little distracted.
Because he was in the River Styx before, just before he was about to lose consciousness, he seemed to see many corpses, and from the powerful aura coming from these corpses, it can be seen that these people were extremely terrifying existences in their lives, and the weakest one also had the realm of Dongting Dragon Monarch.
"Who are these corpses? Are they really like the legend of the sea of stars, the stars in the sky......
"So is the Emperor Ziwei, who is the Lord of the Stars, also among them?"
Ning Xiu muttered in a low voice, and glanced back at the environment he was in now, which was also in a hall, and there were eight portals around this hall. It appears to be the room behind the previous round dome hall.
Just then, another stone door opened.
A familiar figure slowly walked out of it, it was none other than Yu Shasha.
"Looks like you're the first to come out, so you're not in danger. Yu Shasha looked at Ning Xiu and spoke.
Ning Xiu said casually: "It's a little trouble, but it's all been solved." ”
As soon as the words fell, another stone door opened, but it was Zhu Baye and Zhao Kaiyang who walked out of their respective passages.
Ning Xiu glanced at Zhu Baye, the aura of the person who was originally hiding in his shadow had completely disappeared, and it seemed that he should have died in the passage.
Zhao Kaiyang, dressed in white, was stained with red blood, and the whole person looked embarrassed, but he finally walked out of the passage alive.
But not everyone was as lucky as him, Ning Xiu and they waited for a long time, but they never saw Lady White Bone, Zi'er, and Blood Without a Trace.
Instead, I waited for an unexpected person, the daughter of the Thousand-Handed Poison King, Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Demon girl, why are you here?!" Zhu Baye looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and shouted.
Looking at its posture, it is actually a rhythm that wants to shoot if you don't agree with each other.
The strange thing is that Yu Xiaoxiao is not afraid at all, it stands to reason that she is only a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, and she is not even as good as Zhao Kaiyang, and Zhu Baye really wants to kill him just by a thought.
Is there anything she still has to rely on?
Ning Xiu shook his head secretly, and quickly ruled out this idea, Yu Xiaoxiao's biggest reliance was on Su Mubai, the "Xiaojian Scholar", and now Su Mubai was obviously not by his side.
However, judging from Yu Xiaoxiao and Su Mubai's previous performances, their understanding of this mausoleum definitely exceeds that of everyone else present.
"Eighth master, let's do it for the time being. ”
Ning Xiu stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Baye's intention to make a move, turned to look at Yu Xiaoxiao, and asked, "Miss Yu can now tell me, what is the relationship between the smoke shadow we met in front of the mausoleum earlier and you?"
"You're not mistaken, that's my father. Yu Xiaoxiao said.
"I'll just say, those people in Anyang City were killed by your father and daughter, and you have to count Su Mubai, a sanctimonious guy. As for your purpose in doing so, it is nothing more than to take the treasures of this mausoleum for yourself. Zhu Baye sneered.
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhu Baye, shook her head slowly, and said, "As you said, the people in Anyang City should have been killed by my father, but it is not my father himself who controls this body now." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Ning Xiu frowned and asked.
"My father disappeared in the Sea of Stars fifty years ago, and we couldn't find him, and finally deduced from the only clues that he should have entered the legendary ghost gate, and never came out again. ”
Yu Xiaoxiao paused, and then said, "So I found Uncle Su, hoping that he can help me find my father." It happened that a few days ago, this incident happened in Anyang, and we came non-stop. On the way, we also ran into this guy in a ruined temple. ”
Yu Xiaoxiao said and stretched out her finger at Zhao Kaiyang, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a mocking look: "I arrived in Anyang on the same day as him, how can I join my father to kill people." ”
Zhao Kaiyang nodded, indicating that the other party was not lying.
In the ruined temple that day, Ning Xiu was also present, so he naturally knew this.
"After coming to Anyang City, we didn't stay in the city, we went directly to the mine, and then met my father on the way. Yu Xiaoxiao showed a trace of sadness on her face, and then spoke. "It's just that my father has lost his mind, and he doesn't even know me and Uncle Su, and he attacks us. ”
"Although Uncle Su tried his best to stop him, he was no match for my father, and he was quickly defeated. Just as my father was about to kill me, for some reason he suddenly held his head and roared in pain, and then ran away. In order to find out the truth of the matter, Uncle Su and I chased after him, and then we ran into you, and you already know what happened after that. ”
Ning Xiu nodded slowly, looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao, and was noncommittal, although the other party had clearly explained the whole thing, he always felt that the other party had concealed some of the key information.
