Chapter 652 Rescue the Tribal Elders
Walking into the gate of the imperial city, in front of you is a row of black stone steps that rise step by step, and the main hall of the imperial city stands at the highest point.
We climbed the stairs and quickly walked inside.
The main hall was empty, the light was dim, and not even a ghost shadow could be seen, only the black throne in front of it still showed the majesty of the owner of this palace.
"Where is the underground grotto?"
I looked around, but I didn't see any sign of the grotto, so I asked the Black Tower in a sharp voice.
"I remember that the Desperate Son said that the underground grotto is just under the city lord's throne."
Blacktower pointed to the Blackwood Throne in front of him and whispered.
I asked the Void-Bellied General to look at the Black Tower, and walked to the Black Wood Throne by himself, and circled it.
Upon inspection, nothing seemed unusual, but I soon noticed that there was a crevice in the rock formation beneath the throne of blackwood.
I pushed the throne away and stepped on the crack, and with a little force, the crack widened a little.
Under this crack, it is really hollow!
I waved my hand and asked the Void-Bellied Ghost and the Fish Demon Princess to follow.
"This is supposed to be an underground grotto."
"Brother Corpse Demon, let me come!"
After the Void-Bellied Ghost finished speaking, he wiped his sleeves, aimed at the crack in the rock formation, and smashed it with a punch.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the crack instantly cracked, revealing a dark hole.
"You, go ahead and lead the way!"
The Void Belly Ghost will push the Black Tower and shout.
The black tower cried with a sad face, naturally a hundred reluctant, but under the gaze of the virtual belly ghost, he could only obediently get in.
We followed and got into the hole.
There is a stone staircase at the entrance, which winds down into the unknown depths.
Blacktower's face was full of nervousness, tiptoeing, as if there was some danger in the darkness.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the steep staircase finally calmed down, and we were already on solid ground.
At this moment, the Black Tower suddenly screamed, and the whole person jumped.
"Save me, save me!"
I hurried over, only to see the Black Tower lying on the ground, rolling back and forth, his expression extremely painful.
I squatted down to take a look, but I saw that the body of the black tower was densely crawled with colorful insects.
The bug was about the same size as the parasite, but it was very different from the parasite, and its body was covered with colorful spots, which made the scalp tingle!
Under the devouring of these strange insects, countless wounds appeared on the black tower's body, and black qi emerged from the wounds, and the soul body became more and more vain.
The black tower shook his body desperately, and countless insects were thrown to the ground.
Strangely, no matter how much Black Tower struggled, the bugs on his body not only did not decrease, but grew at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Soon, insects began to burrow in and out of Blacktower's nose, mouth, ears, and even eyes, constantly eating his soul.
"This is the Soul Eater, Corpse Demon Brother, don't come close!"
Seeing this, the void-bellied ghost behind him couldn't help but remind loudly.
"This thing lives in the depths of the Yin Cao, and lives by devouring the Yin Soul, as long as it has the soul body as nourishment, it can reproduce a litter of offspring in a few seconds, and it is simply defenseless."
"You can't save him."
At this time, the Black Tower was still struggling desperately, but under the devouring of the Soul Eater Worm, his soul body had become more and more vain and began to crumble inch by inch.
"Save Me ......"
With a desperate face, Blacktower lay on the ground and reached out to me for help.
"I'm sorry, I can't save you."
I stood up and said lightly.
It happened suddenly, and the reproduction rate of these soul eaters is indeed too fast, even if I take action now and save the Black Tower, I can't repair his broken soul body, and it won't be long before he disappears.
In just a dozen seconds, the Black Tower let out a final roar under the devouring of the Soul Eater and disappeared without a trace.
After devouring the soul body of the Black Tower, the size of those soul eaters more than doubled, and like a tidal wave, they began to pour towards us.
Although these soul eaters are terrifying, they can only be lethal to the ghosts, and in my opinion, they are not as difficult as the parasites in the River Styx.
So, naturally, I don't take these Soul Eaters to heart.
"Look for death!"
I snorted coldly, and at the same time as releasing Dao corpse qi, a thunder fire talisman condensed in my palm and suddenly blasted out.
With the sound of a violent explosion, the patches of Soul Eaters directly vaporized, and the passage in front of them instantly became unimpeded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're up to ourselves."
Without the Black Tower to lead the way in front, we can only risk ourselves, this time I will walk in the front, let the Void Belly Ghost General be the back, responsible for protecting the Fish Demon Princess and Shi Zhenxiang.
After a while, there were bursts of painful moans in front of them.
"This is the voice of our tribal elders!"
The fish demon princess pricked up her ears and said with excitement on her face.
We couldn't help but speed up and continued to walk forward for a while, and a cave appeared on the left side of the passage.
The cave was excavated along the rock formation, and the entrance was blocked by a piece of black soul wood, and the sound just now came from this cave.
Obviously, this is the place where the Desperate Son, the elder of the Fish Demon Tribe, is imprisoned.
"Elders, I'm the Fish Demon Princess, are you inside?"
Through the wooden door, the fish demon princess shouted inside.
"Princess? Is it really you? ”
"Can't be wrong, the princess was raised by me, this is her voice!"
"It's great that the princess has come to save us!"
A mixture of surprise soon sounded from inside the cave.
"Elders, wait a minute, I'll come to your rescue right away!"
The Fish Demon Princess was also overjoyed, and hurriedly asked us for help: "Mr. Corpse Demon, Mr. Void Belly, please help open this door, if you can save a few elders back, my Fish Demon Tribe, I am grateful!" ”
Without waiting for me to speak, the Void-Bellied Ghost took the bento first and stood up.
"Let me do it!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the ghost-headed knife and slashed at the black soul wooden door.
Click!
The sharp ghost head knife instantly cut the black soul wood into two pieces, and five old men in ragged clothes appeared in front of us.
"Elders, you're free."
The Void-Bellied Ghost will retract the Ghost Head Knife and say to the elders.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Seeing the fish demon princess standing in front of them, the elders were also excited, and they burst into tears.
"Elders, you have suffered......
Looking at the elders of her tribe, who were now tortured with yellow faces and thin muscles, the fish demon princess couldn't help but have red eyes.
"As long as we can keep the tribe alive, I'll die, so what's the matter?"
After the Great Elder finished speaking with emotion on his face, he set his eyes on us.
"Princess, who are these two?"
"They are Mr. Corpse Demon and Mr. Void Belly of Emperor Song City, they rescued me from the dormitory together with Zhenxiang, and they came here to save you with me."
