Chapter 629: Ghost Brother
Akali's eyes were so deep that they seemed to see through all the secrets in my heart at a glance, and I couldn't help but bow my head and didn't dare to look at them.
The Earth Dragons have a special position in the Netherworld, and they have similarities with the Grim Reaper I have seen, both in appearance and physique.
I can't say what the relationship between the two is, so even if I live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I still can't reveal my purpose.
"Thank you, senior!"
I could only take the fluff and say with gratitude.
Akali nodded slightly, then flapped her wings and left with the Little Earth Dragon King.
It wasn't until Akali disappeared that I let out a sigh and continued paddling the canoe toward the other side.
Without the harassment of the revenant water ghosts, it was not long before the canoe reached the other side of the River Styx, jumped on the bank, and I continued my journey towards the dark place in the distance.
According to the direction said by Mrs. Hu, I walked all the way, walked in the darkness for about two hours, and not far ahead, finally a city faintly appeared.
This is the destination of my trip, the Song Emperor City, one of the thirty-two ghost cities of Yin Cao!
Compared with the city of the dead, the scale of the Song Emperor City is larger, the momentum is more magnificent, and from a distance, there are countless green lights in the city, constantly flashing.
This is the ghost fire emitted by the ghost people living in the Song Emperor City, and from the flickering ghost fire, it is roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of ghost people in this ghost city.
If you want to compare it with the world, the city of the dead can only be said to be a small town, while the Song Emperor City is basically equivalent to a large county town.
When I came to the city gate, I released a corpse demon aura, and the whole person was immediately wrapped in the turbid corpse qi, and Yanran had become a real zombie.
When the ghost soldiers at the door saw me coming, they all stood up straight, not daring to stop me in the slightest, and just like that, I easily walked in.
On the streets of the city, some richly dressed ghosts shuttle endlessly, and the shops on both sides are lined up one after another, although there is not a single living person on the street, there is also a strange lively atmosphere.
Walking on the streets, in addition to the countless ghosts, there are also some strange-shaped spirits and zombies, from time to time to sell the treasures they bring from the outside world to the ghosts who pass by.
These spirits and zombies are essentially the same as the yin ghosts, they are all evil yin things that cannot see the light, so some spirits and evil spirits who have Taoism often go back and forth to the yin and act as some yin and yang merchants.
As for the living, it is categorically invisible in the Song Emperor City, after all, this is different from the City of the Afterlife, this is a real ghost city, and the Yin Cao Ghost City has strict rules, that is, the living are never allowed to enter, once found, they will be divided and eaten by the ghost people.
In addition to ordinary ghost people and spirits, from time to time there is a group of ghost soldiers wearing black armor on the street, majestic and full of evil spirits.
Because I had the aura of a corpse demon in my body, no one dared to come to trouble, so I swaggered through the streets, thinking about how I could complete this mission as I went.
As I walked, I suddenly heard a wail coming from a small alley on the left, which was extremely terrible.
I followed the sound and walked in, and I saw a thin ghost crouching at the base of the wall not far away.
A ghost soldier was constantly waving the long whip in his hand, fiercely pumping it on the Yin Spirit, and the scream just now was emitted by this Yin Spirit.
His body was valuant, and with every whip that fell, a black qi would escape from the Yin Soul's body, and it looked like its soul body was close to shattering.
The ghost's face was full of pain, and he knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly, but the ghost soldier did not have the slightest sympathy on his face, and the black long whip in his hand continued to fall on the ghost, and even let out a smug laugh.
Seeing that the long whip in the hand of the ghost soldier was about to fall again, I was sure that if this whip went down, the poor yin soul would be scattered immediately, so I immediately shouted.
"Stop!"
The ghost soldier was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at me, and his face became gloomy.
"Mr. Corpse Demon, I am following the orders of the city lord to carry out the punishment of the ghost people in the city, you are an outsider, do you also want to interfere?"
I said lightly: "I don't want to break the rules of Emperor Song City, it's just that the breath of this yin soul is more in line with my appetite, I plan to use it to refine the corpse qi, brother will give me this yin soul a face, how about it?" β
"This ......"
Hearing me say this, the ghost soldier also hesitated for a while.
He should know in his heart that with the strength of the corpse demon, it would be easy to kill a little ghost soldier of his.
What's more, he is now alone, and there are no other companions around, if he doesn't agree to my request, I can kill him in the snap of a finger.
"Since it was Mr. Corpse Demon who took a fancy to it, then the little one naturally didn't dare to make a mistake."
After the ghost soldier finished speaking to me, he gave the ghost a fierce look: "Count you kid lucky, let me run into it next time, you definitely won't be able to escape so easily!" β
With these words, the ghost soldier put away his long whip and left the alley in a gloomy manner.
Although the ghost soldier left, the ghost still cowered and knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Why are you still kneeling, you're free now."
I walked up to the Yin and said lightly.
The Shade looked up at me with surprise in her eyes.
"Lord Corpse, youβare you going to let me go?"
"But I just heard you say that you want to use me to sacrifice corpse qi......"
"How much do you think a Yin Soul that is almost shattering can do me a sacrifice to refine my corpse qi?"
The ghost couldn't help but bow his head in shame, but the doubt in his eyes deepened.
"In that case, then why did you save me......"
I said lightly: "As for me, I like to fight unevenly all my life, and I can't get used to seeing anyone bullying the weak, and there are not so many whys." β
As I spoke, I had a cloud of cold aura in my hand and handed it over to the ghost.
"This yin qi can recondense your three souls and seven spirits, absorb it quickly, otherwise your ghost body won't be able to support it for long."
The yin soul trembled all over, and he took the yin qi with great excitement, swallowing it in one gulp, and with it, his soul body gradually became condensed.
"Thank you benefactor, ghost brother is grateful!"
Feeling that his soul body had become extremely solid, the Yin Soul knelt down excitedly and thanked me.
"Ghost brother, is that your name?"
"Yes, my lord, because I am the eldest in the family, my family has always called me little brother, and after I died, I was also called ghost brother by my friends."
The ghost replied honestly.
