Chapter 44: The Soul Falls
Bidding farewell to Bai Qiulian and Xi Lichuan, Jiu'er and Abacus resolutely stepped into the wasteland.
As soon as she entered, Jiu'er felt that there were layers of heat waves on the ground, making it difficult for people to even breathe. A gust of wind struck, mixed with bursts of ghosts and wolf howls, and countless white bones were scattered randomly in all directions. The sand is flying, and the sky is dark. Waves of sand came one after another, rolling up the yellow sand so high, and the black smoke rising from the flat ground spun around and flew away on the wasteland.
In the wind and sand, the evil howling ghosts will come over at any time, the abacus does not speak, holding Jiu'er with one hand, and coldly pulling out a soul-breaking knife from his waist with the other hand, sacrificing the nether talisman, the knife rises and falls, and the knife slashes the oncoming souls, and the instant screams are accompanied by bursts of black smoke......
In this way, the more you kill, the deeper you go, and before you know it, you can't see the edge of your surroundings, everywhere is vast and misty, ups and downs, and people in the middle of it, suddenly seem so small.
At last, they came to a dead sea of sand, as if the raging waves, the empty angry waves, had frozen in an instant, so that it would be still forever. Jiu'er was a little scared, and didn't know when it would end: "Abacus, it's so hot, how long do we have to go?" ”
The abacus didn't speak, looked around, and finally stopped, sighed, and said quietly: "This should be the core area of this northwest wasteland, are you sure not to go?" ”
"Hmm...... It's not that you don't want to go, but I don't know how long I have to walk, abacus, I'm so tired, have you seen Sansheng Stone? Why don't you catch a ghost and ask? "Jiu'er is tired and listless.
"Sansheng Stone? I don't care where a broken stone is, what I want most is you! I saw that the abacus suddenly raised his head, smiled grimly, and took out the soul chain out of nowhere, and slowly walked towards Jiu'er step by step.
Jiu'er couldn't stop retreating in fright, wanting to shout for help, but found that there was no one around.
"Abacus, you...... Why are you doing this, aren't we good friends? You forgot, you also helped me go to the mansion of the Ten Palaces Yan Jun and help me find the Sansheng Stone? Why did you arrest me? Jiu'er asked helplessly.
"Stupid girl! I wasn't trying to get you! Hmph, I thought that when I entered the Ten Palaces, I would take you to the torture hell below while everyone was unprepared, but who knew that the Yan Jun of each hall seemed to know you, and took care of you so much, I had no choice but to give up! This time, I finally chose such a good place, I see who can save you! After the abacus finished speaking, his eyes were cold, and he raised his hand and flew out of the soul chain, instantly tying Jiu'er's hands behind him, unable to move.
The abacus squinted at Jiu'er like a prey, and walked towards her step by step, and in his hand, at some point, there was a glittering knife.
"Abacus! What are you doing! Are you crazy! Just when Jiu'er was panicking, she suddenly heard someone shouting loudly behind her. Looking back, it was Bai Qiulian and Xi Lichuan!
I saw that because the two couldn't fly, they could only support each other and walk on the wasteland with difficulty in the wind and sand. It turned out that the two of them couldn't wait for Jiu'er and Abacus to come back, and they were worried that something would happen to them, so after thinking about it again and again, they decided to come in to find them. Who knew that the dry temperature of the furnace here was a fatal disaster for these two elves who had been soaked in water all year round. The two used up their remaining physical strength and persevered all the way to find it. But what I didn't expect to see was an abacus holding a knife and walking towards Jiu'er, who was tightly bound by the soul chain!
When Jiu'er saw them, she shouted desperately: "Xiao Lian! Hurry up, the abacus is a bad guy! Leave me alone! ”
"Run? Hehe, none of you can leave today! Abacus smiled coldly and said gloomily:
"I thought that God killed this stupid girl here without knowing it, but you two knew that you had no mana and had to break in and die! Since you are so affectionate, let's die together! ”
But why would you do that? You have a great future, you are the best Yin soldier under the face of the bull head and horse, what benefit can you bring to you if you kill Jiu'er?! Bai Qiulian was puzzled and asked in a shout.
"Haha, didn't you once say that no matter how good you are, you're still just a little soldier! I have been following the army for hundreds of years, trying to help them catch ghosts and subdue demons every day, but what have I gained? It's not at their mercy among their men??! When I was alive, I was such a smart scholar, I was proficient in all the world's learning classics, but in the end, why did I get ahead but my good friend?! When I got to the underworld, I tried my best to climb up, but in the end, I couldn't be as good as you two little hairy children who could still be in charge of a river! Why! It's not fair! I'm not reconciled! Abacus suddenly lost control of his emotions and shouted loudly!
Bai Qiulian persuaded him beside him: "But, abacus, everyone's fate is doomed, what can you change by doing this?" Even if you kill Jiu'er, you won't be able to change your fate!"
"Nope! I don't believe in fate! My life is in my own hands! I'm going to turn it all around! The abacus yelled.
After a pause, he seemed to be emotionally stable, and suddenly smiled viciously:
"You don't know yet, do you? The story of this girl has long been spread among the ghosts in the underworld. Her blood fell on the hands of an infatuated ghost, so that even if he jumped into the Lethe River, he could not let the other ghosts hurt him in the slightest, she came and went without a trace, and even Meng Po Tang had no effect on her! Such a soul is an upgrade medicine that many ghosts dream of!
As long as I clean up her blood and collect it, practice it into a pill and take it, then I will definitely be able to increase my mana and change my life against the sky! I'm not leaving, I want to be like the Ten Palaces Yan Jun, I want to set up my own door and become the king of this northwest flood wilderness! ”
Although Bai Qiulian was very weak, he still said angrily: "You bastard, that is, from the very beginning when you approached us, all this is the trap you designed?" ”
"Haha, you won't just figure it out, little stupid fish!" Abacus laughed wildly: "The three of you don't have any mana at all now, what are you going to do to fight me?" Die obediently! ”
Xi Lichuan, who had not spoken, suddenly said slowly: "You can't have heard of Soul Fall, right? ”
