Xu Chen said, taking out a ceramic teapot.

This teapot and teacup is the most common porcelain in the folk, Xu Chen only bought a few things casually in Nanyang City, ready to brew some spiritual tea brought back from the Yuqing Palace, but it is rarely used, mainly because he is usually lazy, and it is troublesome to boil water, and besides, he is young, and he has no hobby of drinking tea, and he has the kung fu of drinking tea, so he might as well study refining tools and spells.

Looking at this strange and smooth ceramic teapot, the woman's eyes lit up, her tongue licked her lips and nodded: "This thing is so exquisite, the patriarch may like it, by the way, what is in this cup, it is so pure color, can I drink it?" ”

Xu Chen thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is called water, I don't know if you can drink it, you can try it." ”

The woman was even more strange and said, "Isn't all water black, is it the water of the mortal world?" ”

Xu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, this is the water of the mortal world, I specially brought it to my body to quench my thirst, and I don't dare to drink the things of the underworld, so I can only drink this." ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, brought the cup to her mouth, took a small sip gently, suddenly her eyes lit up, then took another sip, then took another sip, and finally raised her head and put the cup on her face, poured the last drop of water into her mouth and swallowed it, and then said with a long breath:

"It's such a pure breath, we have never drunk such delicious water, if you can give the elder a pot of water, I think he will take you to the ancestral temple to help you find your way back."

Xu Chen couldn't cry or laugh.

This worthless mountain spring water, I didn't expect it to become a treasure in the underworld.

However, the woman's words also made him breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that today's rescue behavior was not in vain, and by now, the information obtained has far exceeded his expectations.

Soon after, Xu Chen and the woman left the cave on a mussel boat, and under the guidance of the woman, they plunged headlong into the boundless black wind and disappeared.

Sitting in the mussel-shelled boat, the woman was shocked by this strange thing.

Xu Chen was also very curious, this mussel shell was encountered by him in the so-called Styx in the sky, but he didn't expect the woman to say that it was the first time she had seen it in her life.

She'd seen a lot of mussel shells, but she'd never seen one so big and able to fly.

The two were in a hurry, and at the same time, they were communicating.

Although this woman is tall and powerful, and her personality is relatively casual and hot, her name is quite normal, and she even has a little amazing, called Feng Feiyi.

After the two of them briefly announced their names, they told them how they had come in, and Feng Feiyi also told a lot about what she knew about the Underworld.

So Xu Chen gradually understood.

In fact, the so-called natives here are not really people from the underworld, their ancestors came here from the mortal world a long time ago, and they are not lost, but to guard the mortal world.

At that time, it was said that there was a fixed road between the mortal realm and the underworld, and the two realms could travel normally, and there were often major battles between the two realms, so the Terrans built cities here and arranged for powerful masters to garrison them.

And what surprised Xu Chen even more was that the Underworld did not belong to the underworld at the beginning, but to the mortal world.

The River Styx is the boundary river between the mortal realm and the underworld.

The current state of this place is caused by the erosion of the breath of the underworld.

And the people who stayed here were gradually eroded by the underworld in the battle with the underworld, and finally lost here, inherited for thousands of years, they have very little normal human breath on their bodies, but their ancestors still remember the will of their ancestors, guarding this underworld area, taking the killing of the underworld beast as their own responsibility, and it has been passed down to the present, I don't know how many generations, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller.

Feng Feiyi said that there were less than 200 people in their tribe right now.

Some other Terran tribes in the vicinity are also becoming less and less numerous.

At the beginning, humans had built many large cities here, but they had long been abandoned and then eroded into ruins by the underworld, and the clothes they wore and the magic weapons they used such as flying fork bows and arrows and storage crystals were actually some rough human skills handed down from ancient times, among which a large number of skills in making magic weapons have been lost, and they no longer even know how to use spells.

Because the breath of the underworld has made it impossible for human beings to cultivate.

However, they still accumulated a lot of new knowledge in the battle with the Netherbeasts, and they can use the Netherbeasts and some items from the Netherworld to grow food, craft weapons, and multiply from generation to generation.

These bizarre news shocked Xu Chen.

Unexpectedly, because he accidentally entered here, he discovered a secret that the outside world had no way of knowing and had been buried for thousands of years.

If all this is true, doesn't that mean that the underworld has been constantly eroding the mortal world?

In this way, it is not difficult to understand that there are places like Black Wind Ridge and the Eastern Desolate Void Abyss.

However, it is also obvious that in this situation, those high-ranking true immortal classes have not stood idly by, but have been preventing this kind of thing from continuing to deteriorate.

They seized the primeval beast and used the formation to imprison it in some places where the underworld qi was leaking, so as to suppress the speed of the leakage of the underworld qi.

However, this approach will not solve the problem once and for all.

This may also be the reason why every few thousand years in the mortal realm there will be a black wind raging soul beast catastrophe.

At that time, the Taiyuan Gate may have also been destroyed because of the change in the ban on suppressing the passage of the underworld.

The black fog seemed to be boundless, but the descendants of the human race living here were already familiar with the environment here, so under the guidance of Feng Feiyi, Xu Chen pushed the mussel boat to constantly adjust its direction, and after flying for two hours, it entered a dark canyon.

The two sides of the canyon are steep and narrow, as if a crack was torn out of thin air, the more you go down, the narrower it becomes, in some places it is even only ten zhang wide, and it is like a bottomless abyss, Xu Chen feels frightened the more he flies, and he flies back and forth for about a quarter of time, after passing through a doorway that is obviously artificially dug, the front is bright, and a relatively flat valley basin appears.

What surprised Xu Chen the most was that most of the black fog in this valley was missing, and there was a faint flickering white light on the surrounding mountain walls, even if he didn't need his divine sense, he could roughly see the situation of the entire canyon, in addition to the rocks and soil that were still black, there were also many strange plants planted in the canyon, like weeds and vines, and the color was mainly black, but Xu Chen didn't feel any aura fluctuations, and they were obviously unique species to the Underworld.

"This place is really nice!"

After wandering and flying in this boundless dark place for several days, Xu Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he suddenly saw such a clear environment with plants.

Feng Feiyi didn't know what Xu Chen was talking about, but he still explained with his divine sense: "This is the place where we live and live, called Fengxia City." ”

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and asked with doubts: "I don't see people living here, where is the city?" ”

The woman pointed to a place in the valley where the white light was most obvious, and said, "We all live in a cave, which is the entrance, but there was a real city in this valley, but it has been abandoned for a long, long time, and you can still see some traces if you look closely." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chen let go of his divine sense and carefully inspected the valley, and sure enough, he could see some abandoned ruins and broken walls from the black stone soil and the strange plants that grew, but they had long been weathered and broken, and if they didn't look closely, they couldn't find any clues at all.

"At the beginning, the city was very tall, inhabited by tens of thousands of people, it is said that it was built to the ground above, and then it was destroyed under the attack of the beasts, and it was rebuilt several times, and finally it was completely abandoned, and then with the continuous erosion of the dark energy, the outside gradually became uninhabitable, and our ancestors dug up the mountain, and now they all live in caves......"

At the same time as Feng Feiyi explained, Xu Chen had already controlled the mussel shell ship to quickly sweep over the valley and flew to the place where the white light was the brightest, and sure enough, he found that there was a cave more than a foot high, surrounded by huge stone bricks to form a gate, and the stone bricks were inlaid with a lot of glowing stones, and there were a large number of red patterns on them, which looked like some kind of rune.

Just when Xu Chen stopped to observe the cave, suddenly several strong divine aura came one after another, slamming heavily into the mussel shell boat, and at the same time, several figures emitting red light pounced out of the cave, and in the blink of an eye, several tall men wearing the same tight armor with a pair of red light wings hanging behind their backs appeared in front of Xu Chen, all holding huge flying forks in their hands, and their emotions looked very nervous.

As the mussel shell opened, when Xu Chen and Feng Feiyi stood up from inside, several men were even more nervous and excited, and flew up together to surround the mussel shells, and shouted at Feng Feiyi's grunt with vigilance, as if full of doubts and reprimands.

Xu Chen didn't speak, just stood in the clam shell with his hands in his hands.

Feng Feiyi spread his light wings and flew out, and after communicating with several men for a while, these men's emotions calmed down slightly, and several strong divine aura fell on Xu Chen, and after a period of all-round observation without dead ends, one of the most powerful guys jumped on the mussel shell boat, pointed at Xu Chen with a giant fork, looked at him condescendingly, and let out a threatening roar from his mouth.

Looking at this guy who was almost half a cut taller than himself, Xu Chen's vitality was slightly released to protect his body, and the same powerful divine sense blocked the man's unscrupulous divine soul pressure.

Xu Chen's resistance seemed to anger the man, the red patterns on the tight leather jacket on his body began to flicker, a red halo began to circulate, his thick arms suddenly exerted force, and the giant fork stabbed forward another half a foot, almost stabbing Xu Chen's body.

Feng Feiyi angrily came up and pushed the man away, and there was another burst of shouting, and finally the man put away the giant fork and retreated, but he still stared at Xu Chen with a vigilant face, obviously very nervous about Xu Chen, a human with strange clothes and unknown origin.

Feng Feiyi looked at Xu Chen with an apologetic face and said, "I'm sorry, this guy's name is Feng Zhao, he doesn't have any malicious intentions, it's just that because your appearance and aura are too weird, he is worried about danger, because there are still many weak children and old people in the cave." ”

Xu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "I can understand, don't worry, I have absolutely no malice, I will not threaten anyone, you just take me to see the patriarch and elders, as long as I find my way back, I will leave here soon." ”

Feng Feiyi nodded, and explained to Feng Zhao and a few people, and finally Feng Zhao still got out of the way with an ugly face, Xu Chen walked out of the clam shell boat in one step, and landed on the stone brick ground in front of the cave after a few steps.
