An hour ago, for various reasons, a group of people were included in a glass bottle with the words "Bitter Cola" printed on it, and the size of their bodies seemed to have been affected by the storage in the bottle.

"Brother...... Save me! ”

"Sister!"

A teenager named Su Yi woke up from the noisy crowd, trying to remember what had just happened and why he was here, after a period of dizziness, he could only dimly remember that he seemed to have been killed, as for how he died, he had no impression, and the only thing that hovered in his mind was the first few seconds of his coma when he fell in a pool of blood......

The people around were noisy, most of them remembered their life memories, and they could clearly remember why they died and why they died, so that some people cried, some laughed, some people froze in place, and some people walked around like crazy, the texture of death was so real that they did not doubt that now they were on the same bus to Huangquan Road.

Su Yi tried to recall again, but to no avail, there was no way to capture any effective information from his mind, but the headache intensified, so he had to give up reminiscence, but look at the current status quo.

There was no doubt that from the outside, they were now trapped in a glass bottle, and since he couldn't feel a trace of air movement in the space he was in, he could conclude that it was a sealed space, but strangely, he didn't feel any suffocation, just a little stuffy.

Through the glass bottle, Su Yi could see that there was a guy who could be called a giant compared to them guarding the bottle, but he didn't mean to open it for a long time, the giant was wearing armor, and there was a spear standing next to him, half-kneeling on the ground, as if he was talking to someone, Su Yi couldn't see the face of the person next to the giant clearly, and could only vaguely see a person wearing snow-white armor, embroidered with purple-gold patterns, and a long sword with a blue-gold scabbard hanging from his waist.

After about a while, the white image finished explaining what had happened, turned around and left. The giant in earth-gray armor struck a fist at where White Shadow had left, then stood up and walked towards the glass bottle.

"Weird...... Monsters! ”

"Wow, what's that?"

"Quick...... Run! ”

Some people who were observing the situation outside like Su Yi couldn't help but shout when they saw the giant coming over. And some people around in a daze were wondering why the sky suddenly got dark, subconsciously looked out, and also saw the giant who came over, they screamed, escaped, but only to find that they were imprisoned in this bottle, wanting to get out, and some panicked, and did not find themselves in a large glass bottle, laughing in their hearts Those who stayed in place, and then directly hit the wall of the glass bottle.

I saw that the giant picked up the bottle and threw it into the air dozens of meters above the ground, and then with a word in his mouth, the bottle cap was naturally opened, and the people inside also slipped from the bottle to the ground, but at the moment before touching the ground, their speed immediately slowed down, and they landed lightly to avoid causing huge damage, and when they fell, everyone would shift a distance, so that when they reached the ground, there was a large distance between each person and others, It was the size of the giant's body length.

As the last person landed, the little people who came out of the bottle gradually returned to their normal size, and the person who was originally regarded as a monster giant was almost the same size as them at this time, and the glass bottle that originally carried them also shattered in response to the sound and turned into granular pieces.

"It's really not possible to convert things from the human world." The man in armor said, then turned to the group of people standing in the sea of sand, "Listen to me, geists, I'm the one who guards the ruins behind me for the time being, you can call me the gatekeeper!" The gatekeeper made a threat, so frightened that the group could not move, so they did not dare to say anything more, and the small and fragmented speech stopped.

"Excellent! I still know some rules! ”

"I'm going to explain to you where you're and what you're going to do, and I'll give me ears up!" Every word he uttered was as powerful as a roar.

"After the death of human beings, the soul will be taken to the underworld to be baptized, and the void is equivalent to a transit station, and anyone who dies by accident, malice, and non-retribution may come here."

"Because you can't catch the train to the underworld immediately, and some of you who are stranded in the underworld have a second choice, which is to pass the trial here, as long as you pass the trial, then you can 'come back from the dead' and return to the human world."

"I'm going to explain to you the rules of the trial......" The gatekeeper recounted the Void Realm, and after speaking, he took out the disc-shaped key that the white shadow had given him to open the ruins, Xie Yuan, and tried to open the gate of the ruins, but the ruins did not react, and the Xie Yuan in his hand emitted a faint scarlet fluorescence.

What's the situation? The group of people below couldn't help but feel confused when they saw that the gatekeeper didn't move there after he finished speaking.

Lack of people? The gatekeeper was a little puzzled, after all, he had never encountered this kind of thing, and at the same time he was a little anxious, after all, this was something that the right envoy Bai explained, and if he didn't get it done before the left envoy came back, things might become very troublesome.

"Wow——!"

Just when the gatekeeper was a little helpless, not far from the ruins, a wandering spirit fell from the sky, and at the same time, the scarlet on the unfinished circle gradually faded, the gate of the ruins slowly opened, and the wall of dozens of meters gradually emerged from the sand, covering the entire sand city.

Seeing that the door opened, the gatekeeper did not move, and some of the more courageous people thought about going straight to the ruins, but they did not think that as soon as they took the first step, they were stopped by the gatekeeper.

"Go back! Don't move until I give you any instructions! The man retreated.

Su Yi looked back at the direction that the gatekeeper was looking at, but it was still the same as just now, as long as the distant view was greater than ten meters, he couldn't see it clearly anyway, and he could only see the close-up view around him.

The gatekeeper looked at the geist who had just fallen, and saw him slowly get up, observe the surroundings, and then walk slowly towards this side, his movements are very leisurely, like a walk after dinner.

It stands to reason that the place where they gathered was not far from the location of the fallen geist, and normally it only took about two or three minutes to walk, but the geist actually took about ten minutes, which made the gatekeeper feel a little irritable.

The crowd below gradually began to stir a little, but they did not receive the order of the gatekeeper, they did not dare to move, and at the same time did not dare to complain, so they could only stay obediently.

When Lu Yu walked to the gate of the ruins of Sand City, the gatekeeper was irritable, and originally thought that since there were enough people, it would be good to let them in directly, but after thinking about it, this was not in line with the rules, everyone had to hear the rules, and it was appropriate to enter the ruins at the same time, so he had to resist the idea that he wanted to be angry, and explained it again.

After listening to the gatekeeper's explanation again, Su Yi finally roughly understood the current situation, but after he heard the gatekeeper's starting order, before he could react, he saw the surrounding scenery change suddenly, and he arrived inside the ruins in an instant, and there were no other people around, including the gatekeeper.

He looked at the surrounding environment, except for more houses, basically there was not much change, the only possibility of change was that the visual distance became normal, there was no longer a sand curtain to obstruct it, just when he looked in the direction of the center, he noticed a high tower far away from him, so he wanted to move towards the tower, just when he was only two hundred meters away from the tower, once he approached the tower, he felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, and even if he endured this pain, no matter how many steps he walked, The distance between the tower and him has not been shortened any longer.

"In this case, forget it." After several attempts, he found that he could not get close to the tower no matter how hard he tried, and the pain level increased, so Su Yi gave up the idea of going to the tower and moved away from the tower.

Suddenly, the surrounding sand loosened, and yellowish-colored broken arms poked out of the ground, accompanied by human-like moans.

Su Yi saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away, dodging the arms that kept sticking out of the ground along the way, and he had a hunch that it would be dangerous if they were fully revealed.

"Let go of me!"

"Help...... Yes! ”

He ran towards the outer circle, gradually beginning to meet the people he had seen outside the ruins before, but many of them were wrapped around their yellow-brown arms, and some of the necromancers had completely escaped from the ground, gnawing at the spirits.

Su Yi did not slow down, but raised his speed, intending to stay away from this concentration of necromancy, he kept running, although he was already very tired, he did not stop, until the number of undead around him was very small, then he slowed down, hid in a relatively complete room, tied the door lock, and sat down on the ground.

What's the situation now, didn't the gatekeeper say that there were only two soul beasts, and why did there be so many strange things that looked like dead corpses on the ground.

Su Yi thought about it again: the gatekeeper didn't seem to say that there were no dead bodies.

"If you just hide in the house and don't go out, then you still haven't solved the fundamental problem, after all, if the time is up, if you don't find the soul core and become an intermediary, then it's still a dead end."

"Speaking of which, will there be a soul core in the house?" Su Yi looked around, but there was nothing else to gain except for some unusable iron cutlery that had been completely rusted.

Come to think of it, if it were so easy to find the soul core, there would be no survival of the fittest. He leaned on the side of the door, observing the situation outside through the crack in the door, "There were some dead bodies around just now, and now they seem to have all gone, go out and look for them." ”

He slipped out of the room, and while screams were still ringing not far away, it was calm, at least around his current location.

It's eerily quiet. Su Yi kept moving through the mound of cover until he saw a huge surface of ice, and there was a shining spot on the ice.

Ice? In the desert? Su Yi was a little puzzled and didn't dare to step forward immediately, but after two or three minutes there was still no movement, he chose to step forward to take a look.

When he looked closer, he found that the shining point on the ice was a small blue chip, he reached out to pick up the chip, but the moment he touched it, it seemed to turn into a drop of water, dissolved into his hand, and at the same time, his mind seemed to have countless information pouring in, and his body seemed to be constantly torn and stretched, and this pain made him almost faint.

His thoughts, emotions, and memories were all like being swept into a whirlpool, constantly tumbling and merging, and the ice around him gradually melted, and then formed droplets, suspended around him, and finally merged into his body.

Su Yi endured the pain and walked a few steps groggyly, he felt as if someone had been whispering in his head, but he couldn't hear clearly.

"Brother...... Save me! ”

"I have to...... Leave immediately. A vague figure appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously wanted to get out of here, because he could feel that there was someone he needed to protect.

At this time, Su Yi's mind was no longer clear, and he was in chaos, and he didn't care about moving against the cover like just now, so he was exposed to the vision of a group of dead spirits who had just broken through the ground.

It's just that this group of necromancers didn't pounce on them as they saw the geists just now, most of them could feel the murderous aura exposed by this geist, so they all stopped in place to observe, only a few stunned necromancers pounced without thinking about it, and then in an instant, they were cut into countless tiny pieces by the water blade that burst out of Su Yi's body, Su Yi didn't even raise his head, and slowly moved forward against the wall.

After a short time, Su Yi followed the wall of the ruins and moved from the south city wall to the side close to the west city wall, but he did not find any exit, in addition, the dead spirits encountered on the road, as long as they stood in the way, they were directly killed, without the slightest hesitation.

As he moved to the vicinity of the western city wall, as he continued to move, more and more of the corpses of the geyers he encountered on the ground, almost piling up into a mountain, and just as he turned the corner, he was presented with piles of corpses, a scar-faced man, a quasi-elf-level necromancer, and a girl.

This quasi-spirit-level necromancer was formed by eating too many geistes and a small number of incapacitated necromancers, adding some spiritual intelligence to ordinary necromancers, and also having a lot of carrion on its body, but because the current energy of devouring geys and intermediaries could not be fully used for its own use, it took hostages behind it.

Su Yi swayed against the wall, his mind was still very chaotic, and he couldn't even control the murderous aura he exuded, so that when he was around the corner just now, the three of them thought that some terrible monster was approaching.

The quasi-spirit-level necromancer was holding the left leg of a geist with a withered and white hand and gnawing on it, while the other hand was pinching the girl's neck, and if Scarface or Su Yi moved, then it would immediately break her neck.

Scarface was still a little scared of the sudden murderous aura, but when he saw that it was a "companion", he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"Boy, you can see clearly, the enemy is that dead body jumping around over there, we need to get that girl out!" Scarface shouts at the black-haired boy who appears rashly to prevent him from injuring himself.

"Save ...... I"

Su Yi raised his head and glanced at the girl.

"It looks like I should be about the same age as my sister......" There was a more intense headache, making him even look so difficult to stand firm, Su Yi held his head in both hands, leaning against the wall weakly, and the necromancer grabbed the moment when Su Yi had a flaw, and rushed over, a flying knee made Su Yi lying on the ground have no time to defend, and the whole person flew out and hit the stone wall solidly.

Scarface took advantage of the necromancer's attack on Su Yi, and used the firepower provided by his own melt pot on the ground to rush straight at the girl, grabbed it and turned back, wanting to leave this place immediately, without considering Su Yi's idea of life or death.

But the speed of the necromancer is not slow, after it finished attacking Su Yi, it accelerated through the wall, and kept chasing it during the period, Scarface saw that the necromancer was getting closer and closer, and threw the girl aside, and then quickly stood still, turned back and cast a wall of flame defense, trying to block the necromancy's sprint.

Seeing that the road ahead was sealed, the necromancer thought of stepping back, but as soon as he took a step back, he felt a burning sensation coming from the soles of his feet.

"Hmph, I've been tricked."

Scarface clenched his left hand into a fist, forming a fire prison and keeping the necromancer in it.

"Flame!" Then put his hands together, and the fire prison burst into a molten spring, gradually filling the entire cage, at first the roar of the necromantic struggle could be heard, and finally when the cage became a fireball, only its last scream before dying.

After confirming that the necromancy had been eliminated and that the Ember Energy was gone, Scarface was released from the fire prison, sweating like rain and panting.

"I'm exhausted, if that kid hadn't used his life to lead that dead corpse, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly, and this fire prison has taken a lot of my strength, and now I don't have much energy left." He muttered, "But this chick is just an ordinary geist, no matter what, she shouldn't be able to run away, and it's worth it." ”

"Thank you, uncle." The girl he had just left aside timidly walked up to him and thanked him.

"It's okay, it's okay, good people should be brave at this time." Scarface smiled grimly, "By the way, are you hurt?" ”

The girl seemed to sense a hint of something bad in the air, and took a few steps back, "Well, it's okay, thank you uncle for your concern, then I'll ......go first, uncle."

The girl kept backing away, but she didn't want Scarface to grab her hand all at once.

"It's good that you're not hurt, it's good if you're not hurt, but normally, your uncle saved your life, so you should repay it well, right?" At this time, Scarface's ugly face is revealed, and the girl struggles to retreat, but she can't break free.

"Help!"

"Well, uncle won't hurt you......"

Before the words fell, a water blade shot out from the stone depression and rushed straight towards Scarface's head, Scarface also seemed to sense the murderous aura, let go of his hand in advance, and retreated, dodging the water blade.

When I looked back, I saw that the black-haired boy had already stood in front of the girl, and the black hair on his head had all turned blue.

"Try to walk against the wall and find a safe place to hide." Su Yi said to the girl.

The girl nodded, thanked her, and ran away.

"Yo, I just hit that monster and I haven't died yet, it's really hard." Scarface said, "It's good that I kept an eye on it, or I would have been killed by you." ”

The layer of water behind Su Yi slowly peeled off, condensing into a water blade around him again.

The blow of the necromancer just now really caused Su Yi to be quite seriously traumatized, although he couldn't defend in time in front of him, but his back still caught up a little, but his head hit the stone, which just made the chaotic brain a lot clearer, at least he could think normally, and in addition, he had some more memories of how to use his own abilities.

"You, killed a lot of people." Su Yi stared at the scumbag in front of him viciously.

"Originally, it was just to test my power, but I didn't expect that killing those wastes would actually increase my strength, I was quite surprised." Scarface smiled, "And then I couldn't help but kill more." ”

Su Yi didn't reply, just put on an attack posture.

"Boy, you have to think about it now, you are seriously injured, I can easily kill you, if you get out of the way now, there is still hope for life."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Scarface let his molten pot spit out a fiery blade and held it in his hand.

The two confronted each other, and suddenly, Su Yi smelled a dizzying scent of tea, wafting from behind a stone, he could detect that it was also an intermediary, with a little soul core in his body that could be condensed, but he didn't feel the killing intent. So he focused most of his energy on the battle with Scarface in front of him, and a small part on the man at the stone behind him......

"Roaring ——!"

Just as Su Yi was about to continue to review the battle just now, a beast roar from the northeast interrupted his thoughts.

"Excuse me, may I ask some questions?"

Su Yi didn't answer Lu Yu, after all, for himself, he also had a lot of questions now, and many things ran into his mind without knowing why, and he now had an impulse, an urge to meet that soul beast for a while.

"I have to go over there now."

After checking that there was nothing to fall near the battle with Scarface, Su Yi pointed to the location where the roar had just come from.

"But ......"

"If you're afraid, you don't have to come along." Su Yi interrupted him.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Yu is more curious than fearful now, so he plans to go with the blue-haired boy to meet the soul beast, although he just goes to see it.

"Be careful not to die then, even if it's just to see."

"Okay, but didn't the gatekeeper say that we're in a soul state now, isn't that already dead?"

"As long as the soul core is condensed in the body, it is already different from ordinary geisman spirits, and it will still face a state of death, even if it is a geisma, it will still die if it is beaten until the soul is scattered?"

I? Soul core? When? Lu Yu took out a few luminous crystals that he had just found.

"Are you talking about that?"

"What......!" Seeing the handful of soul cores in Lu Yu's hand, Su Yi's eyes couldn't help but widen, "How can you have so many?" ”

"There are a lot of them in the houses near that tower." Lu Yu pointed to the central tower.

Looking at Lu Yu, who took out the soul core, still looking puzzled and didn't understand anything, Su Yi sighed: "Did you listen to the rules when the gatekeeper just read out the rules?" ”

"Listen."

"You know what the soul core is, right?"

"Yes."

"What you have in your body and what you have in your hands."

"Oh." Lu Yu was stunned for a second, "Huh!?" No, why didn't I absorb these in my body? ”

"Maybe when you came in, you accidentally touched the ground and fell and didn't pay attention."

"But I don't have the same special abilities as you."

Su Yi shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness.

Lu Yu was a little lost, this feeling was like playing a game, other people's equipment was top-level, and his own equipment was at the ordinary level.

"No wonder I can't absorb these soul cores." As he spoke, Lu Yu put away a few small luminous chips in his hand, then picked up one of them and handed it to Su Yi, "This is for you." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Normally, this place should be the law of the jungle, you didn't cut me at once just now, and solved some of my doubts, I should give you a little gift to show your sincerity, right?"

"No need."

Lu Yu forced the soul core to him, and Su Yi couldn't shirk it too much, so he took the soul core, but the moment his hand touched the soul core, the soul core seemed to melt into his hand.

"Huh?" Su Yi was surprised.

"Huh?!" Lu Yu was very surprised.

"Why can you absorb other soul cores when you have soul cores?"

"This ...... I don't know very well. Seeing the situation in front of him, Su Yi was also confused.

"Forget it, I'm going to give it to you anyway." Lu Yu said with a smile, "Since you have received a gift, let's make a friend by the way, and I can take care of you before I go out, my name is Lu Yu, what about you?" ”

"Su Yi."

"So Su Yi, why did you go to find that soul beast?"

"I don't know, I feel like I have to find it."

"Okay."

So, the two of them chatted with each other, heading in the direction of the soul beast's roar just now.

As the location where the soul beast came from the cry got closer and closer, the temperature of the surrounding environment dropped sharply, and at the same time, the corpses of the geyrs piled up around it more and more.

"It seems that because of the saliva of those dead corpses, the geist will not dissipate like the scarface after being killed." Watching Lu Yu staring at the mutilated corpse of the wandering soul along the way, Su Yi said.

Lu Yu was thoughtful, and at the same time, he also found that at the beginning, when they were far away from the soul beast, the number of those dead corpses was still quite a lot, and they could still be easily solved by relying on Su Yi, he thought that the number of dead corpses would increase dramatically as they got closer and closer to the soul beasts, but on the contrary, they were almost impossible to find, maybe the dead corpses and soul beasts could not coexist peacefully.

Suddenly, when they passed a dilapidated earthen house, a cold air hit from the side, and the earthen house fell to the ground with a bang, Lu Yu had noticed it before, and rolled forward to dodge, while Su Yi somehow still stood in place in a daze, and was frozen by the cold wind in an instant, and then the falling clods of soil were buried.

After the earth house collapsed, the smoke and dust were everywhere, Lu Yu stared at the behemoth monster hiding behind the collapse of the earth house, until the smoke and dust gradually subsided, Lu Yu saw clearly that the so-called soul beast was a strange creature with a size of five or six meters, covered with strange barbs, with crab pincers and the head and body of a spider, and the environment around it was like covered with a layer of frost, constantly releasing cold air, as if it was a sign that the living should not approach, through the frost layer, it could be seen that its eight big red eyes were staring at Lu Yu deadly.

"Well, it might not be so fun now."
