Chapter 296: The Abyss of Nine Springs
At noon the next day, Qingxin Temple.
"Yun Shaoxia, you finally woke up. ”
The main hall of the temple was already full of people, including Master Wuxin, Mingci, Moriwolf, Qingluan, Akali, Fluttershy, and Shinji, all smiling and looking at the sea of clouds that had not disappeared.
"Really, even if you go to bed early in the morning, you won't wake up until now!" Fluttershy complains mercilessly. "Look at the other people's Akali, I didn't say that you were so lazy!"
"Fluttershy, I didn't fall asleep from the beginning to the end, so I came early. Akali explained in a low voice, and sure enough, she had a pair of dark circles under her eyes and a little pale face.
"Ahaha, I'm really embarrassed, it looks like I really overslept......" Yunhai scratched his head and smiled bitterly.
"Sit down, I'll be waiting for you. Qingluan waved his hand and motioned for Yunhai to sit down quickly.
"Hmm. ”
Yunhai sat next to Fluttershy, secretly observing Akali's expression, and couldn't help but sigh softly, sure enough, this pain was not so easy to heal.
"Okay, now we need to discuss, according to the information brought by the Divine Beast Qilin, this time the undead are rampant in Shenzhou, and the reason is that the barrier of the Nine Springs Abyss located in Kongming Mountain has been broken, and the death breath of the Netherworld has leaked out, awakening many of the dead, although this may be one of the means used by the Demon King Ruoxi to wake up the demon two thousand years ago, the King of Qin, but we still have to give priority to sealing the barrier of the Nine Springs Abyss. Master Wuxin glanced at the Wolf High Priest who was also sitting at the top, and continued: "No one knows what will happen here, after all, the Nine Springs Abyss has been sealed for thousands of years, and we don't know what kind of monsters there are, this is going to be difficult and dangerous, may I ask, who wants to go to the Nine Springs Abyss, seal the cracks of the Netherworld, and return the Divine Prefecture to a blue sky and white sun?"
Everyone raised their hands in unison.
"We also need to help the Divine Beast Qilin defend against the attack of the Demon King Ruoxi, so we can't all go, someone has to stay. The High Priest of the Wolf took over the topic and said.
"First of all, Fluttershy and Alma have to go, as the two of them have experience sealing the Spatial Gate, which will definitely come in handy. Yunhai suggested.
"Let's go too, after all, one of the functions of our shamans in the Ten Thousand Snakes Temple is to communicate with the spirits of nature, maybe we can come in handy. After Qingluan asked for his father's consent with his eyes, he also recommended himself.
"That's pretty much the point. Master Wuxin whispered a Buddha name. "Amitabha, let's do it, the high priest of the Sen Wolf and the witch Qingluan, as well as Yun Shaoxia, Lord Gui Butterfly, Miss Alma, the abyss of the Nine Springs is please, is it okay, Princess Akali?"
"I and the entire Knights of the Dawn will be at the mercy of Master Heartless, and please stop calling me Princess Akali, I'm no longer a princess. Akali said lightly.
Akali ......" Fluttershy doesn't know how to comfort her, so she gently grabs her wrist as a sign of encouragement.
"Fluttershy, I'm fine, after all, we're all alive, and as long as we live, there is hope, and there is a chance to change...... Akali whispers to Fluttershy.
"Hmm. ”
Ten minutes later.
"Clouds, Fluttershy, are you leaving?" asked Akali.
"Well, after all, now that Shenzhou is raging with countless undead, the sooner the crack of the Nine Springs Abyss is sealed, the sooner people will be at peace, time is the most precious treasure. Yunhai nodded firmly. "Speaking of which, did you tell Caterina about what happened here?"
"I've asked Kelly to deliver the letter, and with her, no one will be able to bring the news to Caterina sooner, and my father will not be able to command them. Akali seems to have thought about this question a long time ago.
"Didn't Kelly still participate in the attack on us yesterday?, is it really reliable for her to send the letter?" Yun Hai was taken aback, when did Kelly have contact with Akali, why didn't he notice it?
"After you left, before the sun rose, Kelly found me, after seeing her father's behavior towards me, she resolutely abandoned the position of Marshal of the Fifth Legion, to follow me, but I know that she is actually just still haunted by Hamuel's sacrifice, so I can't forgive my father, but at this time, as long as someone helps, it's good, not to mention that I have a good personal relationship with her, so I asked her to return to Europe, on the one hand, to convey the news of the Knights of the Dawn to Caterina and them, on the other hand, to keep her away from the battle here, and have a good rest, Hamuel has been sacrificed, and I can't let her have any more accidents......”
Yunhai didn't expect that Akali had already thought so much and so far away, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
"Okay, you also have to be careful, since it is the entrance to the underworld, it is inevitable that you will encounter some powerful undead creatures, go quickly, don't let the high priest of the wolf wait. Seeing that Yunhai wanted to stop talking, Akali urged with a smile. "Alma, it's you're following Clouds and Fluttershy now, so you have to listen to them, okay?"
"Yes. Alma remained expressionless.
"Okay, Akali, let's go, you must also be careful over there, remember, if the Demon King Ruoxi really appears, don't fight hard, she may not have brought such a terrible monster!"
"Let's go, you talk a lot, Akali is much smarter than you, do you still need to teach......" Fluttershy dragged the sea of clouds away from the gate of the Qingxin Temple, and a man's screams could be faintly heard in the distance.
A few hours later, the group came to the front of a mountain under the leadership of the high priest of the wolf.
"High Priest of the Wild Wolf, is this Kongming Mountain?"
Yunhai really doesn't have any impression of this place, because in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" Among them, it is only recorded that there is such a place called the abyss of nine springs in Shenzhou, and the dead will go to the country of death through here, but there is no specific mention of where this abyss of nine springs is, but according to the observation of the sea of clouds, the mountain in front of it, the forest is dense and the situation is peculiar, almost all of them are locust trees, the locust tree is the ghost of the wood, and the yin qi is the heaviest of the plants, and the legend of the locust tree can attract the dead to live in it, although I don't know whether it is true or false, but such a huge locust tree is really panicking. In addition, there is a dead air that can be detected even by the sea of clouds, even no less than the huge rift in the city of Rome, it seems that this is the right place.
"Well, this is it, but ......" The wolf stared at the jungle that covered the sky, and felt a little strange in his heart.
"It's because the dead air here is too heavy, causing the surrounding energy to be too chaotic, right?" Qingluan interjected.
"Yes, exactly. High Priest Moriwolf nodded. "The overflow of dead air should be caused by the opening of the Nine Springs Abyss, but such a thick dead qi will definitely trigger a large number of dead people in this vicinity to go out, I'm afraid that even the sun can't stop them......"
"Listen, is there any sound?" snaps Fluttershy reminded.
When everyone heard this, they immediately held their breath and condensed, listening to the subtle sounds around them, and sure enough, there was a dense "click" sound around them, which was terrifying to hear, and they would get goosebumps in the daytime.
This is clearly the sound of white bones rubbing!
"Oh no, a lot of skeletons are coming towards us!"
Before the sea of clouds could speak, in the surrounding woods, a vast number of skeletons suddenly appeared, and with their stiff movements, the terrible sound of bone friction became louder and louder, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was surrounded.
"It seems that our aura has attracted these guys, we can't delay, we must find the entrance to the Nine Springs Abyss as soon as possible!"
The Wolf High Priest was the first to attack, and the majestic energy in his hand turned into a giant ripple, instantly sweeping a large area of skeletons in front of him, tearing them all to pieces.
Everyone used their own means, and while advancing towards the deep mountains of Kongming Mountain, they disposed of the skeletons that followed, and there was no danger for a while.
Skeletons, such low-level undead creatures, like zombies, are corpses or bones awakened by death, they have no intelligence, command to act with their own instincts, but as they gradually condense the anger of heaven and earth, sucking the blood of humans or animals, they will also be like other demons, slowly have intelligence, even not inferior to human intelligence, and superb cultivation, just like the drought.
But these skeletons that are awakened by the dead air for no reason will naturally only attack the living people nearby without a brain, and smell the breath of the living and move, if it is an ordinary person, their breath is weak, at most it will attract skeletons within a few meters and ten meters, but a person like Yunhai who cultivates to a very high level, and is so crowded, naturally wants a strong breath of life, which has a fatal attraction to skeletons, compared to sugar and ants, it may be as good as it.
Finally, before nightfall, the High Priestess of the Wolf found a dark and deep cave with an ominous aura that made people not want to set foot in it.
"Is this the Abyss of Nine Springs?" Yunhai could feel that the death aura here was much thicker than outside, and it was even a little close to the basement where the Lich Galak woke up the Bone Demon, and it seemed that the Abyss of Nine Springs was not much deeper below here.
"Yes, if my guess is correct, the end of this cave is the Abyss of Nine Springs. The High Priest of the Wolf said.
"Then let's take a rest here first, we've been on the road all afternoon, and we've been chased by so many skeletons, and we can't deal with those terrible monsters without recuperating our spirits. Fluttershy seals the entrance to the cave with a Dharma ban to keep the skeletons out of it.
