Chapter Forty-Nine: The Tower of Nine Punishments
The mask said that he couldn't help me anymore, and there was a sudden hint of timidity in my heart, although the mask didn't help me much after I slowly became stronger, but subconsciously thought that he would still be more relieved.
"The things in the back are getting stronger and stronger, and I'm on my own. "I silently cheered myself on.
I slowly walked up to the seventh floor, and as expected, it was still the scene of the ghost world.
"Are you competing with the ghost world? There are three layers in a row that are ghost worlds. I looked around, "What is it this time?" Thinking of this, I suddenly panicked, "It's hard to beat the revenants in front, if it's really Li, and I don't have a mask to help, how can I fight?"
Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the darkness, "Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet here." ”
A gust of wind blew, and my back was a little cold, "It's really the sound of leaving." ”
"What's wrong, are you scared?" a dark figure appeared in front of me, I looked up into the air, and Li Zheng was floating in front of me, "Don't be afraid, I won't embarrass you, if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago." Hahaha......" let out a long laugh.
"What do you want?" I pretended to be calm and tightened my grip on the Spirit Carp Feather Knife in my hand.
"Don't be nervous, I just wanted to talk to you. Li moved the long sickle in his hand slightly, and my right arm was weak for a while, and the knife fell to the ground.
I just wanted to pick it up, but I couldn't move.
"Hahaha, I said that I won't hurt you, I just want to talk to you, so you don't have to resist. Li came down from the sky, stood in front of me, waved his hand, and a wooden table and an oil lamp appeared between us.
"Sit down. He sat across the table and saw that I was still standing, "Why are you stunned? Sit down!"
I tried to move, but I couldn't.
"Oh yes, I forgot, hahaha. "Li" moved the scythe again, "Sit." ”
My body seemed to have received an order to sit on the opposite side of the detachment.
"What the hell do you want?" I looked at Li, viciously.
"Hahaha, don't look at me like that, do you want to kill with your eyes?" Leave smiled at me.
It was the first time he looked at him so closely, and he looked like a weak and gentle scholar, with elegant manners and a graceful demeanor.
"You ......" I can't believe that such a cruel person who slaughtered the world could look so good.
"I, what's wrong with me, confused by my beauty?hahaha......" Li knocked lightly on the table, and two cups of hot tea appeared on the table, "Have you been thirsty all the way?" drink some water, don't worry, it's not poisonous, I don't want to kill you." ”
I didn't move, I was still staring away.
"Drink. Li raised the teacup and took a sip, and my body picked up the teacup and took a sip as if it had received an order.
This tea has an indescribable taste, with a faint tea fragrance floating on the surface, which makes it feel difficult to drink in the mouth, and feels comfortable when swallowed in the throat.
"This tea is made from the cave grass born on the Devil's Fear Mountain, soaked in human blood, and I specially brought it to you. With that, Li took another sip of the teacup, "This thing helps stabilize the ghost power in your body and can make you stronger." ”
"Human blood?" I felt sick to my stomach when I heard the word human blood.
"Hahaha, I'm used to seeing the killing scenes, so I don't feel disgusting. ”
"What the hell are you trying to do? Do you want to help me?"
"Look at me like this, didn't I help you, did I harm you?" he got up and walked to the tower window and looked out, "I haven't seen the sunrise for a long time, so you stay here, and when I finish watching the sunrise, you can continue walking." ”
"What exactly is the punishment at this level? are you really leaving or is it fake?" I was a little puzzled, and my body was still unable to move.
"I've already helped you solve this layer, back then, the old man of the Tianzun Sect wasted a season of cultivation to get the soul condensing incense, you are a person who has no cultivation at all, if I don't help you, you will die in this layer. After drinking that cup of tea, the rest is up to you, hurry up and get the soul incense and go back to save the kid who is the descendant of the Earth Zun. "Say with your back to me.
"Why? You hurt us, and in the end you want to help us. ”
"I didn't expect you to even be able to beat my janitor soldiers, I just wanted you to practice your hands, but who knew that you would be beaten into that embarrassment......?"
"Don't you want to get rid of us, so you can rule the Four Realms. Why do you want to help us?"
"It's so boring to unify the Four Realms. I kind of figured it out, so I'm going to have a good time with you, if you defeat me in the end, then the Four Realms will belong to you, and if you fail, then ......" Li paused suddenly, "It will belong to our Ghost Realm." ”
"You untie me first, my neck is sore. I shouted at Li.
With a snap of my fingers in the air, my body was able to move again.
I picked up my teacup in disbelief, "That's all that has been said, it shouldn't really hurt me, right?" I thought to myself, finishing the tea in the cup.
Suddenly, I felt a gust of air flow through my body.
"Hmm, what's going on?" the mask's voice rang in my ears.
"Why are you awake?" I wondered.
"What did you drink? I felt my abilities suddenly come back, and I woke up. ”
"Leave gave me a cup of tea, made from the cave herb, and said it was here to help me. ”
"Liu Xi, come here. "Leave suddenly called me.
I slowly stood up and walked towards the window.
"Look at this sunrise, is it beautiful?" Pointing to the sky, his slender fingers seemed to glow in the morning sun.
"Hmm......" I don't know how to answer.
"You can't see the sunrise in the ghost world, and the sun rises in the middle of the day. And there is no such pure sun, which is a huge eye that is staring at you all the time. ”
"I want to ask you something. ”
"That girl?" said Li, who seemed to be able to read my thoughts, "I'm locked up in the Devil's Fear Mountain, and if you want to save her, you can save her yourself." ”
"That Devil Fears the Mountain......"
"It's not in the ghost world, the person you saved knows where it is, don't talk nonsense, I've watched the sunrise, you go quickly, I'm going to leave too." After finishing speaking, he knocked the scythe on the ground lightly, and his whole body turned into black gas, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the sky.
"What do you say?" said the mask.
"I don't know, but since you woke up suddenly, it means that he really wants to help me. ”
"I don't know what this Li was thinking in his heart, but he actually came to help his opponent, a person who threatens to rule the Four Realms every day, and has no interest in the Four Realms. ”
"Perhaps, detachment is not so bad. I said, slowly moving on to the next floor.
It's already the eighth layer, and it's getting closer and closer to the Soul Incense.
The scene of this eighth layer is different from the previous three layers, the ground is no longer flesh and bones, but on the contrary, there are flowers and plants all over the ground, and there is a thick and huge ancient tree with lush branches and leaves in the stone platform.
The ancient tree kept dropping its leaves, and the leaves disappeared when they touched the ground, turning into a little green light.
"Who's coming?" the tree suddenly made a heavy noise, and the ground began to shake, and its roots rushed out of the ground.
I didn't stand still and sat down on the ground.
The big tree staggered before my eyes, and on its trunk, two eyes opened......
