Chapter 176 Three Thousand Ghost Soldiers
After spending a long time, he finally swept away the small mountain of ashes.
The clean floor would probably make the owner of the cave cry. Maybe since the day he opened the cave and placed the alchemy furnace here, the place has never been so clean.
Seeing that there was nothing around him, only a pill furnace that he couldn't move was left standing in the middle. Li Chuyi kicked it hard and turned around suddenly.
"Walk!"
He walked out in a hurry, not daring to look back or stay any longer. Every minute he spent here made him feel heartbroken and uncomfortable. He was afraid that he would go crazy because of this treasure that he could not take away.
Passing through the center of the hall, Li Chuyi couldn't help but glance at the portrait. Seeing it hanging there without any response, Li Chuyi felt full of resentment.
This is also a good thing that he can’t take away!
Without looking any further, he quickly walked to the opposite side of the hall, randomly selected a stone door, and pressed his palm on the center of the formation. As soon as he spat out the magic power in his hand, the formation on the stone door lit up slightly, but it did not open as before.
Li Chuyi was stunned. Just as he was about to push it again, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from the hand pressing on the door. He was unprepared and flew out like a kite with its string broken.
Zi Yuan was startled, and hurriedly flew to catch up with him, catching him firmly before he landed.
Continuously stretching his hands that were numb from the shock, Li Chuyi and Zi Yuan looked at each other, and the two came to the stone door again.
Not daring to push the door open again, the Yin Yang Dao Eye urged him with all his strength, and he carefully looked at the formation on the stone door.
The formation above seems to be the same as the previous two stone gates, but if you look closely, you will find that it is actually several times more complicated, and there is more than one. Several deeply hidden formations were centered around the formation that opened the door, forming a more complex formation among themselves. If there is no corresponding method to open the formation eye, and the lower pull is rashly activated to move the whole body, these formations will be activated simultaneously to defend against the intruder.
Fortunately, Li Chuyi didn't use all his strength just now, and only caused a weak backlash. If he were to forcefully break it open with a full blow, he would probably be seriously injured at this time.
"Shall I try?" Zi Yuan asked softly.
Li Chu nodded: "Be careful!"
Zi Yuan's pretty face was solemn, and the purple energy surged all over her body, turning into a wall of energy and gently sticking to the door. Instead of using brute force directly, she wanted to rely on the corrosive formation of her ghost power to dissolve it.
When the purple energy affixed to it, the Shimen's brilliance flashed, and the formations were activated. A layer of milky white barrier condensed out, resisting the erosion of the purple energy.
Zi Yuan frowned, and the force of the purple energy surged a little stronger, quickly disintegrating the white barrier, pushing it closer and closer to the Shimen's body.
As if feeling a fatal threat, the formation on the door glowed brightly, and with a soft "buzz" sound, the barrier was suddenly thickened several times, pushing the purple energy outward. Not to mention this, many white roots condensed on the barrier, instantly piercing the purple air wall, and the whole snakes were dancing like wild snakes towards Ziyuan.
Zi Yuan showed no sign of weakness, and the purple energy around her body moved, and purple dragons shot out, facing the white roots bravely.
The two came into contact instantly, and White Beard and Purple Dragon were entangled. Although a single root cannot defeat a giant purple dragon, there are many white roots. Dozens or hundreds of them can deal with a giant purple dragon. From a distance, it looks like countless white ropes, tightly strangling the purple dragon.
"Cut it off!"
Zi Yuan shouted loudly, and the giant purple dragon twisted wildly, violently tearing off its white roots. But these white beards seemed to be endless. As soon as they were torn off, a new batch would be wrapped around them again, continuously.
Seeing the endless white roots, Ziyuan frowned and was about to change her moves, but suddenly her face changed, and several white roots passed through Zilong's blockage and shot towards her at high speed.
Each hand held a ghost technique, and before Bai Xu came, the two techniques merged, and the purple energy moved accordingly, turning into a rapidly rotating shield to block Zi Yuan. There are purple shadows on the shield, and ghost heads with ferocious faces poke out from them, so densely packed that it makes people's scalp explode.
The ghost's big mouth opened and closed silently, letting out an inaudible howl. Looking at the approaching white roots, their eyes were full of anger, and they rushed to grab the white roots, tearing them apart and stuffing them into their mouths.
"Evil spirits are rampant!"
Following Zi Yuan's cold voice, the gobbling ghost heads all moved and jumped out towards the stone door. Countless ghosts kept coming out of the shield, making the purple shield look like the gate to hell, and the ghostly aura was frightening.
Holding the white roots, the ghost figure went upstream, passed the purple dragon in a few breaths, and rushed towards the stone gate with the many freed purple dragons.
Although the white roots tried their best to stop it, there were too many ghosts, and they were even crazier than the purple dragon. Even if the white beard is swallowed, it will be destroyed and dissipated. The ghost head devours it without hesitation, gnawing on the white beard all the way and pounces on it.
Seeing how ferocious these ghosts were, Li Chuyi, who was about to take action, pressed his body down, waving his two chubby hands to the side, touching and dancing as hard as he could.
Living up to his expectations, the last white roots were swallowed up, and the ghost head wrapped around the long purple dragon, and hit the formation of the stone gate heavily. Most of the condensed white barrier on the outer layer dissipated instantly, leaving only a thin There is a layer of strong resistance there, but it is also cracked everywhere, and it is obvious that it cannot hold up for long.
Just when Li Chuyi thought that the overall situation was decided and was about to cheer loudly, the stone gate made a muffled "dong" sound, and the formation above emitted a dazzling light, as if it was angered, exuding a heavy pressure.
The feeling of death came to Li Chuyi's mind, and he retreated madly without thinking, shouting loudly at the same time.
"Ziyuan, back off!"
Ziyuan naturally felt the danger of death, but she was unwilling to give up. The spell in her hand changed, and just as she was about to hit him hard again, she suddenly found that countless white grasses had grown on the stone door in an instant, and after merging with the previous white roots, they entangled with each other to form a huge python head with a white horn standing on the head.
The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the giant python looked at Ziyuan coldly, as if there was intelligence in his eyes, and a trace of mockery flashed across his eyes. Before Ziyuan could react, it opened its mouth and swallowed the ghost head and purple dragon entangled in front of it in one gulp, and its throat moved gently, swallowing them into its stomach.
It was obviously a thing condensed by magic power, but it was so agile as if it was a living thing. Li Chuyi was horrified and retreated even faster.
Zi Yuan's face also changed drastically. She stopped the spell she was performing halfway, and dodged backwards with a move of purple mist.
However, it was too late for her to hide now. After the giant python swallowed the ghost head and the purple dragon, a white light flashed, and it came to her in an instant with a sharp roar, opening its huge mouth and biting down on her head.
"The Netherworld - Three Thousand Ghost Soldiers!"
The purple shield like the gate of hell squirmed, and ghosts holding various weapons flashed out, waving their weapons at the giant python.
Seeing that the ghost soldiers finally stopped the giant python, Zi Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her already white face turned slightly blue.
This spell of borrowing ghost soldiers is based on her own ghost power, borrowing ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers from the vast underworld to control them. These ghost soldiers are not ordinary wandering ghosts. It is said that they have been sacrificed by the underworld god. Each of them has extraordinary ghost power. The weakest breath fluctuation is equivalent to that of a human Jindan cultivator, and the strongest ones are even comparable to the middle stage of human refining spirit.
It is said that there are three thousand, but the ghost shadows flashing in front of her eyes, in fact, it is good to have a hundred. With Zi Yuan's cultivation, no matter how many ghost soldiers she summons, she can't control them, but will be attacked by them.
The giant python and the ghost soldiers are constantly entangled. Although the giant python is strong, the ghost soldiers are not weak either. In addition, there are many of them, so the two are evenly matched.
The giant python twisted wildly, the snake head swung back and forth, and every time it opened and closed its big mouth, it would bite one or two ghost soldiers who could not dodge in time. The ghost soldiers were not to be outdone, sticking to the python's body and attacking continuously. Even if they were bitten, they would explode with a grim smile on their faces. The impact of the explosion and the strong corrosiveness of the ghost energy to the life force made the giant python scream in pain.
Gradually, the giant python became smaller and smaller, and the ghost soldiers became fewer and fewer. Finally, when there were only a dozen ghost soldiers left, the giant python roared unwillingly, exploded into a group of white magic power, and instantly sank into the formation of the stone gate.
Looking at the stone gate emitting dangerous fluctuations, Zi Yuan hesitated again and again, and finally stopped attacking.
She didn't dare to guarantee whether there would be a second giant python, or even a more powerful protection ban than the giant python. No matter which one, she would be difficult to resist with only half of her energy consumed now.
Recalling the remaining ghost soldiers and sending them back to the underworld, Zi Yuan's eyes flashed, and finally turned into a calm face.
"I can't do it."
Without Zi Yuan's words, Li Chuyi had already given up. He was frightened by the fierce battle just now, and secretly thanked himself for not using brute force when he came up, otherwise he would die without knowing how.
Although he was eager to get the things sealed behind the stone gate, since there was no way at this time, he didn't think about it anymore.
"Wait until I have a higher level of cultivation before I come back!"
He pouted, and took Zi Yuan with him to the last stone door.
This time he learned to be smart. He saw the center of the formation with his Yin-Yang eyes, but did not act immediately. Instead, he stared at the other parts with a pair of thief eyes, trying to find out if there was any secret formation hidden in it.
Zi Yuan silently adjusted her breath behind him, waiting for his result.
——————————————————————————
The underworld, where no one knows where it is located, its existence is even more mysterious than the fairy world. Although it is widely known in the human world, there are very few records of it appearing in the world.
Somewhere in the underworld, it is shrouded in shadows all year round, and the ground is full of white bones. The exposed bones cannot resist the erosion of time, and many places have turned into gray powder.
The darkness and bones make this quiet place gloomy and weird. If a living person is thrown here, it is estimated that he will go crazy in a short time.
Suddenly, the invisible and intangible shadow squirmed, like a living thing, and a dark crack appeared in the sky.
The bones on the ground trembled suddenly, and a shrill roar came out, full of fear and pleading.
Ignoring these white "scum", the shadow trembled again, and the crack slowly opened, and a huge eyeball appeared inside, which turned out to be a giant eye of unknown size.
The eyeball was full of darkness and death, and it turned slightly, and its ruthless gaze was cast into the depths of the sky of the underworld. A majestic voice full of infinite pressure slowly sounded.
"The Book of the Underworld?"
