Chapter 418: The Sea of Blood, the Ghost Night Boy
Qingxuan Eastern Domain, the sea of blood in the underworld.
Rumor has it that -
The blood sea of the underworld is the gateway to the Yellow Spring, due to the drastic changes in the earth's crust in ancient times, under the misalignment of yin and yang, a blood road to the Yellow Spring was opened, and a large amount of yin and death qi leaked out, and over time, this sea of demons was created.
The reason why the Netherworld Blood Sea is called the Sea is because it covers an area that is so vast that it is probably as large as several immortal cultivation countries combined. However, it is fundamentally different from ordinary seas, because it is surrounded by only land, not an endless sea.
So, strictly speaking, it's a giant lake.
It's just that it's so big that people use the lake to describe it, but only the sea.
In addition, this sea is unique because it is a blood-colored sea, and there are a lot of iron minerals and extremely concentrated salts deposited in it, which makes this sea of death very buoyant.
How high is it?
For example, a person can walk on it directly, as if he were walking on the ground. It is even possible to build houses and buildings on it.
In other words, you don't need a boat to fish, you just drive a horse-drawn cart out to pull fish.
Water is earth.
This is one of them.
Second, the Underworld Blood Sea is extremely remote, and to enter this sea area, it is necessary to pass through some natural dangerous barriers, such as the Ghost Forest in the Heart of Daoshan Mountain, the Thousand Needles Golem Mountain, the Soul Trap of the Dead, and the Secluded Qiannu Lake...
These ghost lands are all because they border the blood sea of the underworld, and they have been invaded by the aura of yin death for many years, so that these already unusual places have given birth to many strange demons.
They don't like humans!
Kill when you see it.
Therefore, these ghostly lands are naturally connected to the surrounding areas of the Netherworld Blood Sea, forming a natural barrier.
For the sea of blood of the earth is isolated from the harassment of the world.
Even so, it can't stop some people's heart of adventure, since ancient times, there have been many masters, who came to the Underworld Blood Sea to explore, wanting to completely uncover the secrets hidden here, but without exception, all of them are buried here.
The secret remains unrevealed.
But people died one after another, one after another.
Gradually, it became a forbidden place, cursed by the world as a sea of death. However, even so, there will still be some desperate people who choose to flee here in desperation to avoid pursuit.
Horizontal and vertical are death, so they are not afraid of losing their lives.
But they don't go too deep, they only look for some hidden places in the outer areas and hide.
Over the years, people have accumulated more and more, gradually forming groups, seeking survival in the cracks.
They have settled here for a long time, and used it as their home to reproduce, and finally through the efforts of generations, this land of blood has finally become their living home, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
And they have also become natives of the sea.
In their eyes, the Sea of Blood is the holy place they guard, their home. However, the extremely harsh and harsh living conditions, and the brutal killing and plundering, have completely changed these people...
People are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts!
It is even more destined that these people will be isolated from the world forever.
This place does not belong to the territory of any immortal cultivation country, and even the Eastern Regions Alliance Elders will find it difficult to put their hands in such a remote place. After sending several groups of elders from the Tiangang Realm to investigate here, and after all the human beings evaporated, the matter was finally over.
The particularities of the various kinds of things have made the Sea of Blood of the Underworld a three-way zone, and it has truly achieved a sea of death isolated from the world, which is feared by people.
...
The night of the Blood Sea was exceptionally dark.
Above the sky, there hung a crimson blood moon, round as a cake, but as enchanting as a ghost.
In fact, the moon itself is not blood-colored, just because today's blood mist is extraordinarily thick, and after all the moonlight is enveloped, it makes people look like the moon has become like this.
The dark night, with the blood-colored moonlight, makes this sea area particularly terrifying.
However, under this special night, in a corner of the endless sea, there is a little white firelight, which grows from far to near in the night, swaying and dancing, like a ghost reborn.
The firelight was closer, gradually revealing the lampshade covered by it, which was made of paper paste, although the paper was very rough, but the person who pasted the paper was very careful at a glance, and protected it well with a little white oil and a small wick.
The distance was narrowed again, revealing a childish and pious little face.
And this flickering lamp is in the hands of a little boy with an extremely ugly appearance.
This half-grown child limps when he walks because his legs are not ordinarily long, his waist is not straight, and the long bones of his spine pierce through the muscles on his back, growing hideously outward, like a dinosaur with a sword back, which is very ugly.
If this is fine, the key is that the child's face is also affected by the distortion of the skull, as if it has been squeezed by the door frame, the two halves of the face are extremely asymmetrical, and one eye is very large, and the other eye is small. There are no hairs on his head, sparse and long, and with rough skin, he feels more like a terrifying shriveled little old man.
The only place in his body that is more normal is his arms.
However, one of the hands had only three fingers, and the other was curled up like a chicken's paw, almost half-crippled.
On such a terrible night, such a strange child, lit by a white lamp, stepped on the surface of the sea of blood in the middle of the night of the blood moon, one step deep, one step shallow, and the blood wet his only pair of shoes, but this did not affect his pious heart.
As if-
That light is hope!
can guide him to find the future and change his bumpy fate.
The screams of the surrounding ghosts became louder and louder, and it seemed that in the depths of the sea of blood in the underworld, there was an extremely terrifying being, roaring, and someone had disturbed its rest.
However, the little boy still did not have any stagnation, but showed a trace of determination on his face.
After continuing to the depths of the Underworld Blood Sea, after walking a long distance, the boy stopped, and after looking around, a smile appeared on his face.
"Grandma said, just wait here, you will definitely be able to wait. ”
After saying that, the little boy put down the lamp in his eyes, which was more precious than his life, and then knelt on the ground, staring at the lamp, waiting quietly.
Motionless.
With anticipation in my eyes...
The lamp continued to burn, and occasionally there was blood mixed into the lamp, which would cause a "crackling" burning sound, causing the lamp to sway, and whenever this time, the little boy would look around, as if looking for someone, but after finding that the surroundings were still empty, he would bow his head again in frustration.
After repeating it several times, the little boy's eyes finally showed a hint of anxiety.
The lamp continued to burn, but the lamp oil in the lamp was running out, which made the lamp swaying very much, and because of the lack of lamp oil, the lamp beans had begun to shrink slowly.
The little boy picked up a small straw needle and carefully flicked the lamp wire, and it was easy for the lamp bean to reluctantly return to the light. But this time, the little boy's face showed a happy smile again, and he prayed sincerely: "Candle of hope, grandma said, you will definitely help me find hope, I will!"
However, the candlelight did not seem to hear the little boy's plea, and in the moment after the light returned, the lamp bean quickly withered again, and the area illuminated by the firelight decreased dramatically.
The little boy was in a hurry, and in a panic, he actually stretched out his hands, wanting to take care of the lights and not let him go out.
However, this time, it accelerated the speed at which the lights went out.
The fire is out!
There is only a little spark left, as if to show that it once served as a flame, releasing a ray of hope.
The little boy's face suddenly turned like ashes.
"No!"
His ugly face, completely distorted by extreme sadness, roared loudly, as if the extinguishing of this flame had cut off his only hope, all his dreams.
Tears kept dripping from the corners of his eyes, and the little boy silently took out a small black shovel from the clothes on his chest, inserted it into the sea of blood, took out some water from the sea of blood, and dug a hole out of the originally smooth heavy water.
"Why don't you die just like that!"
After speaking, the little boy wanted to jump into the sea and save his young life, but at this time, a head suddenly emerged from the mouth of the pit he had just dug out.
