Chapter 770: Into the Netherworld
Thunder! Conquer all things, especially evil things! Thunder's lethality to them is simply multiplied. With this force of the master and apprentice, those black insects suddenly "crackled" and continued to fall from the sky, some fell into the River Styx, and some even fell directly on the bone boat.
Even the giant face in mid-air began to twist, and the dragon formed by the turquoise flame fought with the giant face for a while, and the dragon's body had shrunk significantly, obviously unable to hold on.
Cheng Ling's divine sense swept over, and his two fingers connected to the void, and purple thunderbolts fell, all of which smashed on the giant face.
"Squeak~!"
The giant face let out a wail, and it was split in half in an instant, leaving only a puff of black mist of black objects fleeing in all directions.
Yang Hongqiu decided to change and once again strengthen the grid coverage density on the bone boat. Those black bugs collided and fell in pieces. Seeing this, the remaining black fog finally turned around and disappeared into the mist of the River Styx.
All the yin spirits let out a sigh of relief, and in a short period of time, there were less than a hundred yin spirits left on the bone boat, and most of them were eaten by black insects.
The boatmen glanced at each other, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, slowly walked over to Cheng Ling and the three and asked, "Who are you?"
Cheng Ling said indifferently: "It doesn't matter who we are, I only hope that the bone ship can continue to move forward and take us into the netherworld." I think you also saw the situation in front of you, if I stand by and watch, you will all die!"
The Yin Spirit was unconvinced: "Even if we die, you will not be able to enter the Netherworld, and this is the middle of the River Styx, so it is impossible to go back." ”
Cheng Ling was not in a hurry, and said indifferently: "So, I plan to cooperate with you." As long as it can take us into the Netherworld, any condition can be raised!"
"What is your purpose in entering the Netherworld?"
"It's simple, I just want to find a few herbs and leave as soon as I get it!"
The yin spirit was silent for a long time, as if considering the credibility of what Cheng Ling said. Two other boatmen came up behind him and whispered a few words in his ear.
After a while, the Yin Spirit said, "It's okay to take you into the Netherworld, but you are human monks, and the cost of taking the bone boat will be at least ten times higher!"
Cheng Ling smiled slightly, sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, these yin spirits only fancy money in their eyes, that is not the simplest thing.
He took out a storage ring and said with a smile: "The immortal crystals in this storage ring should be enough to pay for the three of us, and the rest can be exchanged for ghost stones for me, okay?"
The yin spirit stretched out his hand to take it, looked inside, and suddenly trembled, not only him, but also the two yin spirit bodies behind him trembled slightly. There are too many in this fairyland, at least 100 million! After deducting the shipping fee, there are still more than 90 million left, how can they get so many ghost stones?
The Yin Spirit smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Excellency, we can't exchange so many ghost stones!"
Cheng Ling smiled: "It's okay, give me as much as you want, and the rest will be my private gift!"
He knew that these Yin Spirits must be at the bottom of the Netherworld, and their net worth was not high, otherwise they would not have come to do this kind of work of driving a bone ship. Moreover, many of the fare recovered could not go into their pockets, and they still needed to be handed over, and the three of them could not get much.
When the three Yin Spirits saw him like this, their attitudes immediately changed. said: "Thank you so much, these bone chairs are very uncomfortable to sit on, please follow me into the box to rest!"
With the benefits, even the box has been opened.
The three of them naturally agreed, and the deck was full of insect corpses, and they looked a little disgusting, so they didn't want to stay any longer.
I followed one of the Yin Spirits for a while, and came to the second floor of the bone ship, and sure enough, I saw a private room. After the Yin Spirit entered with them attentively, he said, "Three, it's good to rest, so you won't bother when you are down!"
Cheng Ling hurriedly stopped him and said, "Come slowly, I haven't asked for the name of the Taoist friend yet, in the next Cheng Ling, please don't hesitate to give me some questions!"
With that, another ring was thrown over.
The yin spirit was so excited that he was about to swing, his transparent body shook for a while, and Cheng Ling was afraid that the other party would dissipate.
Yin Ling said: "Down there is the captain of this bone ship, Your Excellency can call me Rakshasa!"
"Oh? It turned out to be a Rakshasa Daoist, dare to ask how much time it will take for the bone ship to enter the Netherworld?"
"Well, if all goes well, you'll be able to enter the Netherworld in about three months. ”
"Okay! Cheng wants to find several herbs, I wonder if you know the whereabouts of the Soul Returning Grass, Yin Yang Grass, and Six Paths Reincarnation Fruit?"
"Oh!" Rakshasa breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the other party had really come to look for herbs. He then said: "The three herbs mentioned by Brother Cheng are all very precious, as far as I know, the Soul Rejuvenation Grass has appeared in the Underworld Realm, and the Yin Yang Grass has appeared in the Hell Realm, as for the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fruit, perhaps only the legendary Ghost Emperor knows their whereabouts." ”
Cheng Ling was shocked in his heart, Ghost Emperor? It seems that the Six Dao Reincarnation Fruit does not need to be counted on, and he does not need to guess that with his current strength, he is not the opponent of the Ghost Emperor at all, and his eyes still have to focus on the Soul Restoration Grass and the Yin Yang Grass.
He asked, "Then how do I enter the Hellrealm and the Hell Realm?"
"Although the names of the Netherworld Realm and the Hell Realm are different, they are parallel interfaces, and they are separated by the largest ghost sea in the Netherworld, and the distance is very far. But the River Styx runs through the Netherworld, and if you have the patience to swim against the current, you will eventually be able to reach it. ”
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Cheng Ling's forehead, the largest ghost sea in the Netherworld, how much time does it take to sail. He asked, "How long will it take to sail to reach these two places after entering the Netherworld?"
"The Netherworld Realm is the closest to the Netherworld Road, and after Brother Cheng enters, he will be able to see many islands and continents in the north, which is called the Xudu Continent, which is where the Netherworld Realm is located; ”
Cheng Ling gasped, this distance was too far. He asked, confused, "Is this planet that big?"
Rakshasa explained: "Brother Cheng, you have misunderstood, the Netherworld is not on the planet, but a vast and boundless interface. The planet we are on is just a connection point between the spirit world and the netherworld, and after entering the netherworld, it is another interface. ”
Cheng Ling was stunned, but soon became worried again, and asked, "Then how should we leave and go back the same way?"
Rakshasa explained, "It's a way to go down the river Styx and the time will be cut in half. But there is more than one connection point between the Netherworld and your human habitation, and there are corresponding connection points in the Netherworld and Hell Realm, and you can also leave from those places!"
"In what directions?"
"It's hard to say, some of the connection points are changed randomly, and I can't say where they are. ”
Cheng Ling was puzzled and muttered, "It's better to go back the way you came!"
Rakshasa said: "Brother Cheng, I advise you not to do this, whether it is the Xudu Continent where the Netherworld Realm is located, or the Netherworld Continent where the Hell Realm is located, it is easy to enter, but it is difficult to get out." ”
"For example, to get from the River Styx to the continent of Xudu, you need to go through a roulette wheel, and you don't even know where you're going to teleport to. It is basically impossible to find the connection between the River Styx and the continent of Xudu. ”
Cheng Ling was taken aback and asked, "So it's impossible for the three of us to teleport to the same place?"
"That's not it, the wheel is divided into twelve areas, for the twelve hours of the world, as long as the three of you stand in the same area, the teleportation position will not be too far apart. ”
Cheng Ling put his mind at ease, the three of them didn't know anything about the netherworld at all, if they were scattered in various prescription positions, Su Yi might not have any problems, but Yang Hongqiu would be in trouble, his soul was gradually weakening, and there was no continuous replenishment of the soul, and he would eventually be replaced by the remnant soul.
He said again: "Rakshasa Daoist, there is one more question, dare to ask where you can collect powerful living souls in the Xudu Continent?"
Rakshasa was shocked, looked at Cheng Ling cautiously, and almost ran away. With the combat power they showed before, especially the thunder-based spells, he was not their opponent at all, and he could be taken down in minutes and refined!
Cheng Ling smiled awkwardly, knowing that she had scared others, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Daoyou, we won't make a move on you." It's just that the soul of the family teacher has been hit hard and needs to be sacrificed to make up for it, so this is the question. ”
Rakshasa suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Xudu Continent is where the realm of the underworld is located, and the responsibility of the underworld is to communicate yin and yang. Therefore, there are a lot of living souls there, but you can't take them captive, that will attract the attention of the upper echelons of the underworld. ”
"However, there are many ways to obtain living souls, the first is to become a ghost in the underworld, and obtain the living soul by capturing the escaped ghosts, and the other is a little dangerous, that needs to enter the depths of the underworld and face endless soul attacks!"
"What is the soul of the underworld?"
"It's too much, it's impossible to count, it's more than the underwater dead in the River Styx, I don't know how many times!"
Cheng Ling nodded slowly, he finally had some outlines in his mind, the netherworld was vast and immense, and he no longer had to touch his eyes as dark as before. As long as he finds a way to enter the Xudu Continent and find the whereabouts of the Soul Rejuvenation Grass, he will leave immediately.
At least with their current cultivation, the core of the Netherworld is not something they can touch.
Seeing that Cheng Ling was silent, Rakshasa knew that the other party's problem was almost over, so he took his leave.
Cheng Ling was grateful in his heart, and gave him some immortal crystals before letting him leave.
At this point, the future journey is relaxed, Cheng Ling pays attention to Yang Hongqiu's condition every day, but unfortunately there has been no soul replenishment for several months, and the situation is not optimistic. If it weren't for the two Soul Returning Pills every day, I believe that I would have been devoured by that remnant soul long ago.
And just like that, her soul was still weakening. Cheng Ling was anxious, and asked Rakshasa several times to speed up, of course, there were a lot of immortal crystal stoppers, and under the opening of a large amount of silver money, Rakshasa simply compressed the original three-month voyage to two months.
With a roar from the bone ship, they finally saw the dark continent in front of them, the Netherworld, finally arrived!
