Chapter 235: The Dead Nation
Surrounded by a drifting blue mist, the sea water was also dyed blue, if it weren't for the illumination of Ling Shuangyue's magic beads, everyone would probably be blind here.
There are ruins everywhere, this seems to be the wreckage of an ancient country, and the gloomy atmosphere is matched with Jiang Shuxue's remarks just now, and everyone still thinks of ghosts after all.
On weekdays, if you encounter ghosts, you don't need to panic, but at the bottom of the deep sea, the Death Knight didn't follow!
Bai Wuwu said: "I'm afraid of a fart, even if a few ghost kings come out, what can we do, can't eat us?"
This sentence is very arrogant, if it is said by Zi Yanran, it will indeed jump everyone. But at this moment, Lao Bai said it, but it relieved everyone's tense nerves a lot.
Yes, everyone is no longer a weak person who has just come out of Chang'an, their strength is infinitely close to the demon king, Ye Qingfeng has directly reached the king level, even if he encounters the ghost king, he has the power to fight.
Thinking of this, everyone's depressed mood was even more soothed, and Ling Shuangyue said: "No matter what, let's find Chu Yanyun's sealing place, this is our purpose, and we are not specifically here to explore." ”
"Haha!"
Ye Qingfeng smiled, everyone still maintained the formation and walked forward slowly, but after all, they were still a lot more cautious.
Behind the abandoned wall in front of them, a figure slowly walked by, and then disappeared into the alley.
Ye Qingfeng could see it clearly, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, have you seen it?"
Long Xiaoyun said: "I saw it, there was a person walking over, very strange. ”
Ye Qingfeng nodded and said: "No matter, we go ours, no matter what it is in the dark, if they don't provoke us, we won't provoke them, if they come to provoke us, they will directly kill them." ”
This was said happily, but Xue Qianxun and Jiang Shuxue's faces were a little pale, these two people were the least courageous, especially when it came to ghosts.
Ye Qingfeng and the others had gloomy faces, and continued to walk forward, bypassing the dilapidated streets, and came to the edge of a square.
Xue Qianxun and Jiang Shuxue were even weaker in their legs, and hurriedly covered their mouths.
Ahead was a wide square, the floor had been completely shattered by the passage of time, and there were large craters everywhere, and large swaths of the ground were exposed, as if they had been cut beyond recognition by the knife of time.
But none of this matters, the important thing is that the square is full of "people".
These people are very peculiar, they have the same body as the Terrans, but they have two mussel shells attached to their backs, they are also dressed strangely, and their skin is also blue.
They walked back and forth in this square, their eyes hollow, their faces numb, no breathing, no sound, like a walking corpse, repeating their steps.
Bai Wuwu gasped and muttered, "What's going on? It feels like they're all dead, but they don't seem to be ghosts." ”
Mu Zibai frowned and said, "I seem to have seen this image in a certain book, they should be the Di people." ”
"The Terrans?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Hua explained: "What race is the Di people?"
Mu Zibai said: "According to records, the appearance of the Di people is like this, they have human bodies, with mussel shells, and when they sleep, their bodies are curled up in the mussel shells, and when they wake up, the mussel shells will open, which can also be used as a shield to protect their bodies." The skin is blue, which is more suitable for concealment and is more adapted to sea water. ”
"Their lifespan is very long, and if they cultivate mana, they can even reach seven or eight hundred years, which is the advantage of their race. ”
"Although the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea dominates the East China Sea, there must be other forces besides the Dragon Palace. This Di Race is one of the other forces, and it stands to reason that there are not many of them, sometimes there are tens of thousands of people, so they won't be so well-known!"
Ling Shuangyue said: "But looking at the appearance here, I'm afraid that the Di human race has been extinct for a long time. ”
Ye Qingfeng nodded and said: "And the way of extinction is very strange, these people are really like walking corpses, walking here non-stop, and their bodies are not rotting, it's really strange." ”
Mu Zibai said: "There are only two reasons why the body does not decay, either the mana in front of the body is strong, and there is mana residue in the body, which has always protected the body from decay." The other is that their souls are still in their own bodies, and they have not fallen into reincarnation, so their bodies will naturally not decay. ”
"So many people here are physically incorruptible, obviously not because everyone cultivates mana, but because their souls are still in their bodies. ”
Xue Qianhiro swallowed her saliva and muttered, "When a person is dead, the soul is still in the body, isn't that a ghost?"
Mu Zibai shook his head and said: "Whether it is a ghost or not depends on the ingredients, generally speaking, after the death of life, the soul will automatically enter the earth realm, and then reincarnate and fall into reincarnation." And some lives may have strong willpower, or they may have too much resentment, hatred, etc., and the soul is left in the world by relying on these emotional powers, or directly in the corpse, and ghosts are formed. ”
"In what way do the souls of these Terns stay in their bodies? If it is because of their own emotional power, then they are indeed ghosts, but it stands to reason that they can retain some of their wisdom, and even if they do not retain some of their wisdom, they will not walk around here by instinct. ”
"If you look at the dents and cracks in the floor, it's clear that they've been walking like this for years. ”
Ling Shuangyue frowned and said, "Walking like this in this single way, without any wisdom or even instinct, then I'm afraid there is only one possibility, and that is that the soul is controlled." ”
Hua Xie Yu nodded and said, "This is the most plausible possibility, but... The soul of a whole kingdom is completely controlled, and that is terrible. ”
"No, not all of them are controlled. ”
Ye Qingfeng looked ahead and said softly: "Look, there are wreckage, it's been a long time ago, but at least it shows that there was a battle here." ”
Everyone also saw the pile of wreckage at the end of the square, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Mu Zibai said: "The key question is, are these walking dead aggressive? If they see us, will they attack them in groups?"
This question stumped everyone, because they still didn't know the true nature of these walking dead, and how to tell if the other party was aggressive.
"I'll try. ”
Ye Qingfeng picked up a stone casually, and then threw it directly, and the stone with mana smashed on the wall on the other side of the square, so the wall fell, and the stone also shattered, making a loud noise.
The walking dead in the square didn't react at all, and they still walked silently as before.
This scene looked extremely weird, and it didn't make everyone feel much more relaxed.
Jiang Shuxue whispered, "What should I do?"
Mu Zibai thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Still don't provoke, bypass the square, try to avoid these things, once encountered, don't act rashly, always pay attention to their reactions." If they react in any way, they will be killed as soon as possible, so as not to attract a large number of walking dead and form an encirclement situation. ”
Long Xiaoyun said: "Yes, our purpose is to find the sealed place after all and rescue Chu Yanyun. ”
"Let's go. ”
Everyone glanced at each other, but as soon as they turned around, they suddenly saw that they were already standing behind them, and they were already standing full of walking corpses, staring at everyone coldly.
This sudden visual impact, the faces that were close at hand, made Xue Qianxun and Jiang Shuxue suddenly scream, and even Ye Qingfeng and Bai Wuwu were shocked, only to feel that their hearts were beating violently, and they all blocked their throats and eyes.
And the next moment, a group of walking corpses had already pounced on Ye Qingfeng and the others.
"There are too many of them, and they have already alarmed the square and the surrounding area, and it is not appropriate to respond to the battle and flee. ”
Mu Zibai did not hesitate, and rushed directly to the side, and everyone hurriedly followed, the speed was extremely fast. At the same time, Xue Chihiro also used earth-based spells to isolate many walking dead.
But the movement here was indeed too great, and in an instant, hundreds of walking corpses in the square rushed towards this side, and other streets and alleys also poured out one by one. At a glance, there were numb walking corpses everywhere, one by one, as if they were not dying, instinctively chasing after Ye Qingfeng and the others.
But their speed was not as fast as Ye Qingfeng and the others after all, and they were directly thrown away.
There were also streets ahead, and there were also sparse walking corpses rushing in, which were easily avoided by Ye Qingfeng and the others.
Although it was at the bottom of the sea, everyone was sheltered from the water, but just like the land, they were all panting and sweating profusely.
The scene just now was really scary, although it was not dangerous, and the strength of these walking corpses was also very weak, but the psychological impact of the short visual impact was still very great, at least until now, Ye Qingfeng's heart was still pounding, and the frequency could not be lowered.
Ling Shuangyue had been using her mana to urge the bright yellow magic beads, so that the bright light illuminated the surroundings, and everyone's visibility had reached hundreds of zhang.
They no longer cared about the walking dead chasing from behind, and walked straight forward, and as soon as they walked dozens of feet, they suddenly stopped, just because there were hundreds of thousands of walking corpses rushing towards this side in the square in front of them.
The same square, the same walking dead.
Ye Qingfeng suddenly turned around, only to find that the scene behind him was exactly the same as the scene in front, and they were all rushing towards him.
"How is it possible, are we in a phantom array?"
Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but exclaim, Xue Qianxun and Jiang Shuxue were also pale, because they found that no matter which direction they looked, they saw the huge square and the walking dead rushing in.
And Mu Zibai shook his head and said: "No, it's not a phantom formation, to be precise, it's not a formation, but a maze." ”
"Labyrinth?"
Long Xiaoyun suddenly turned around and said: "There has always been a labyrinth in the East China Sea, it is called the East China Sea Labyrinth, but we never know where this legendary labyrinth is, is it ......?"
Mu Zibai smiled faintly, of course, the smile was very helpless, and he said slowly: "Obviously, this is it." ”
Xue Qianxun said: "Then that, what should we do now, there is no way!"
Ye Qingfeng sacrificed the Star Soul Sword, and a powerful momentum erupted from his body, and he said in a deep voice: "Since we have no way, we have no choice but to send them on the road." ”
"Yes, that's it. ”
While Mu Zibai spoke, he also sacrificed the Phantom Butterfly Fan, and he said calmly: "It seems that only by solving these walking corpses can we have time to calmly find the trick of this labyrinth." ”
"Then kill!"
Bai Wuwu directly sacrificed the soul chasing gun, and the blood qi in the sky gushed out from his body.
And just when everyone was about to kill, a coquettish shout suddenly came out: "Stop!"
