Chapter Fifty-Eight: Wisdom Breaks Through the Ghost Gate [Asking for Rewards, Asking for Recommendations, Seeking Collections]
The road was long, and there were five figures moving rapidly in the wilderness.
The village chief of Gui Soul Village told Mi Ke and them the closest path to Nai He Bridge, but the distance between the two places was still too far away.
The Lost Forest is in the south, and the place they are going to is in the east, and the soul realm is so big, even if they take a shortcut, they don't know what year and month they will be able to arrive.
When a soul is reborn here, it is generally allocated enough place for him to live, and if there is nothing special, no one will transfer it on a large scale, after all, there are no distant relatives here, so it is necessary to travel far away by foot strength!
However, the biggest headache for them is that in such a hurry, the consumption of original energy is very huge, and the more the Rubik's Cube fragments are absorbed, the more difficult it becomes, and maybe it will not be long before none of them can run.
"No, let's stop and rest!"
Mi Ke has a deep foundation of original energy, but the other few people have consumed nearly half of it, seeing this situation, he said helplessly.
"I'm here to exercise in the underworld, climb the steps and then run a marathon, it's really a youthful blood..."
"Don't say it, poor monk, I really feel more than ten years younger, you see that these calves have developed muscles..."
As soon as they stopped, the two masters began to tease again, and along the way, they didn't stop their thoughts, either complaining that the forest path was not easy to walk, or there was no transportation in the soul world, in short, there was no way for them to stop for a while.
Just as everyone was resting for a while, Fourteen seemed a little restless, he walked into the distance alone, looked in the direction of the east and stomped his foot hard, he hoped to get to the bridge sooner, but to his chagrin that he couldn't continue now.
Mi could see his depressed appearance, and his heart was also sour, so he hurriedly got up to comfort him, and just as he walked forward, he suddenly sensed a familiar strangeness from the boundary stone, which was a feeling of being attracted.
The two small fragments and the large fragment brought out of the Shura Hell were all moving in one direction, and Miko was immediately overjoyed, knowing that this meant that there must be a larger Rubik's Cube fragment not far from the wild forest!
He hurriedly recalled Fourteen, briefly explained, and then took everyone to set off again, if there is the support of the original energy, then the rest of the journey can save a lot of time...
But half an hour, at the edge of the wild forest and mountain, at this time, there were five sneaky figures lying on a small hill and staring up, and through the shadows of the trees, they saw a huge city standing in front of them.
The majestic and towering city walls are surrounded in all directions, and the continuous and boundless, so that people can not see the end at a glance!
How could such a vast city come here?
Michael was amazed, and through the strong reaction of the fragments, he clearly knew that the large pieces of the Rubik's Cube were inside.
Ku You also sighed from time to time, he had not been to the southern part of the soul world before he was arrested and imprisoned, and he was also full of strangeness to this world after being away for too long, what is the origin of this city, as an indigenous, his eyes are also black!
Just as they were walking down the hill to inquire, a commanding voice suddenly appeared behind them: "Stop!"
Mi Ke turned around, only to see five spear-wielding soul soldiers in armor and steel helmets walking towards them in a neat line!
The leader of the team was a guy in the middle of the boundary soldiers, and he looked very imposing, and he saw that Mi Ke and the others had no fluctuations in their bodies and their appearance was suspicious, so he quickly ordered them to surround them.
"Tie up a few of them for me first!"
As soon as he gave the order, the four men immediately took out the soul chains and tried to tie them up.
"Wait a minute, why don't you even ask us who we are, and you can't help but say that you want to arrest us?"
Mi Ke's face did not change and his heart did not beat, he just smiled lightly and asked calmly.
"Hmph, you thieves are coming out of the wild woods, and you don't look like good people. ”
It was not far from the city gate, and the soul soldier was not worried that the other party would dare to resist, but out of caution, he decided to bring Miko and the others back to the city for strict interrogation.
"You have such good eyes, you can tell at a glance that we are not good people?" Mi Ke asked rhetorically, still with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing this, this soul soldier suddenly felt stunned in his heart, generally speaking, ordinary soul people were nervous when they saw the officers and soldiers questioning, but now these few are not only calm but also look calm.
There must be ghosts!
Seeing Mi Ke smiling at himself twice, and he couldn't sense the strength of the other party, he knew in his heart that he might meet a master.
"Recently, we received news that there are fugitives in this wild mountain and forest area, so we are just doing routine checks. ”
The soul soldier couldn't grasp it in his heart, and he was afraid that he would accidentally offend the strong, so he naturally couldn't finish eating and walking, so he hurriedly moved out such an official statement.
"It seems that your eyes are really good, and you can see at a glance that we are fugitives, I really admire it!"
Mi Ke's smile was actually still very sunny, but with those words just now, it suddenly cast a thick shadow on the soul soldier's heart.
They admit that they are fugitives, but they not only do not run away in the face of the officers and soldiers, but they also talk and laugh freely? What is the reasoning behind this? Do they want to kill themselves?
Thinking of this for a while, the soul soldier couldn't help but swing his body!
"You don't..."
He was flustered in his heart, and when he was about to say something to deter, before he finished speaking, he felt a breeze blowing, and the four subordinates beside him collapsed to the ground at the same time, and he himself couldn't even see when the other party made a move.
With a "bang", the weapon in his hand fell to the ground instantly.
Outlaws, it looks like you're doomed!
"If you don't want to die, answer a few questions obediently, otherwise you won't even be able to become a ghost!"
When a living creature dies, it will turn into a soul and live another life, and if the soul dies again, there will be nothing.
Although the soul soldier was well-trained, he didn't want to lose his life for no reason, looking at the face in front of him that had been smiling at him, he finally lowered his head and gave up resisting!
"I ask you, what is this place?
Seeing that the soul soldier was obedient, Mi Ke was too lazy to intimidate, what he was most concerned about at this time was the fragments of the Rubik's Cube in this city, if it was possible, he naturally wanted to get his hands on it!
Seeing that there was no malicious intent, the soul soldier said it truthfully......
It turns out that there are four ancient cities in the soul world, which are located in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and north, they are mainly for administrative functions, and hundreds of millions of soul people live at the same time, and the one in front of them is called Zhennan City, which is also the center of the entire south.
In order to maintain the daily consumption of so many living beings, a huge Rubik's Cube fragment was allocated in the city, and it was the city lord of Zhennan City, a realm cultivator, who was in charge of it on weekdays.
Just a month ago, Hell was suddenly invaded by the Fire Spirit Clan, and the imprisoned souls inside were killed and injured, and many of them took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the Soul King also knew the seriousness of the matter under the secret report of the Wu Clan, so he ordered the entire Soul Clan to be under martial law.
In order to prevent accidents, Zhennan City not only mobilized a large number of troops, but also stationed many masters, on the one hand, ready for battle at any time, and on the other hand, to hunt down the souls of prisoners who escaped from hell.
At the same time, the same is true of the other three ancient cities, one side is in trouble, and all sides support, because they don't know where the next war will happen, in order to be able to send more rescue as soon as possible, so the Soul King immediately made a decision and ordered all the portals connecting the cities to be opened.
The portal is the ghost gate, a special passage connecting two places in the same world, separated by two places.
This kind of technique was left behind before the sacrifice of the Soul Emperor, and only the powerhouses of the Realm Emperor Realm who had mastered the shackles of space could do it, so now only the six major clans in all walks of life have such a similar teleportation channel!
Coincidentally, not long ago, the city lord of Zhennan City received a report from a secret agent that Lindong City in the eastern part of the Soul Realm had been harassed by a large number of low-level fire spirit clans, so he immediately dispatched a part of his army to prepare to rush to support.
And the group of soul soldiers that Mick is now encountering is the reinforcement who received an order to leave the east when he was on patrol just now.
"Great, it is said that people who love to laugh will not have too bad luck, it can be described as a wise saying, hahahaha..."
Mi Ke sighed with emotion, and in order to live up to the kindness sent by God, he took advantage of the situation and laughed a few more times.
There are many masters in Zhennan City at this time, and it seems that there is no way to get this Rubik's Cube fragment, but this can lead to the Ghost Gate Pass in the east, which really solves the urgent need.
"What do you want to do?"
When the soul saw Mi Ke laughing again, his heart suddenly felt creepy.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean to hurt your lives, I'm just using your identity for a while!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Ke and several of them swarmed up, stripped all the equipment of these soul soldiers, and then put them on themselves!
In this way, no one will suspect their whereabouts when they are fully armed.
Mi Ke has been the chairman of the board of supervisors in the human world, although he is a hands-off shopkeeper, but he usually sees the drills of the boundary soldiers, so at this moment, he also reorganized the small team in a fake appearance, and walked in towards the main gate of Zhennan City with a swagger.
They went all the way unimpeded!
When I came to the city, I saw a forest of high-rise buildings, a noisy market, and countless figures interspersed and surging between the roads extending in all directions, a lively and extraordinary scene.
This was the first time Miko had come into contact with such a prosperous place since coming to the Soul Realm, and in such a large town, several of them couldn't help but look around.
There was a wide square in the distance, and there were long queues standing on both sides, and Mi Ke approached the left to look, which was a registration desk for the conscription work, and a banner was hung on it, which read "Enlist the glory of enlisting and serve the soul clan".
The long dragons on the other side were all soul soldiers wearing uniform armor, and they were slowly moving in one direction, and there was a building in the shape of an archway dozens of meters high at the front of the team.
From a distance, the archway looks like a colorful grimace of a harlequin in a play.
There was a boxy secret passage in the lower part of the grimace, like his open mouth, and the soul soldiers in line were entering that mouth in an orderly manner.
Mi Ke walked forward, faintly feeling a strange spatial fluctuation from the dark passage.
Just after Kuyou and them rushed over, a loud voice sounded: "Everyone, pay attention, the ghost gate is about to be completely opened, please all soul soldiers line up, don't scatter, and finally I wish you all the best on your trip to the east on behalf of the city lord!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a ghostly light spit out from the mouth of the grimace, which instantly completely annihilated Mi Ke and the others, and at the same time, the five slippery guys ran into the main gate of Zhennan City out of breath.
They shouted for help: "We have been robbed ......"
