Chapter 68 Nightmare City
Lu Lie and the other two no longer hesitated and followed closely the three-headed monster's footsteps.
Although they did not fully trust this weird person, judging from his current statement, they did not reveal too many doubts. Moreover, this Pure Land, which was protected from the blood mist, was also created by him. In addition to marveling at the exquisite secret methods of this guy, he also knew that he had no malicious intentions towards his three of them for the time being.
Along the road, the foundations of countless houses grew wildly. Lu Lie and others walked in it and felt that the scene in front of them would only appear in a nightmare.
Occasionally, when I met the residents of this little Huangquan, the strangers glanced at Santou, but had no intention of attacking him. Some even shook their minds slightly at Santou, as if they were paying tribute.
While walking, Santou explained to them: "Although these residents only have the instinct of wild animals, they smelled the evil spirit on me and their desire to attack me was reduced a lot.
"But it depends on the situation. Sometimes the evil spirits in the area here become less, and the residents of Huangquan will huddle in the corner of this city, as if they have disappeared in the cave. Once the evil spirits are chaotic, the residents of Huangquan will become particularly manic, with hundreds of ghosts walking at night and the same kind of people will be killed. Even I, because of the evil spirits of Huangquan, will have an impulse of anxiety."
Lu Lie nodded: He saw a mother in the alley eating her son's flesh with her own eyes.
The three of them walked through a dark path, and pointed to the small amount of blood still floating in the sky: "These are called blood resentment fog. When the evil spirit of this city accumulates to a certain extent, the palace groups in the distance will emit white mist. Once the white mist comes into contact with the evil spirit, it becomes this kind of thing.
"The blood resentment fog will dissolve everything it touches. Appear about every five hours, and the living person will die when touched. These Huangquan residents also seem to be afraid of it. However, every time the blood resentment fog passes, the Huangquan residents will become residues and have more numbers after resurrection.
"The person who is most afraid of blood resentment fog should be me. Because I am the only one among the residents of Huangquan who has not died once, and still retains my own human nature. As long as I encounter this blood mist and die, I will become like these residents, becoming a walking corpse, and stubborn.
"So I have developed a new secret technique through my careful research, which I call it the "Secret Art of Evil Qi·Seven·One Place Pure Land."
"Just like the big mansion you hid in just now, the reason why all poisons are invincible is because I used the 'One Pure Land' to create results to protect you in it."
When Lu Lie heard this, he sincerely praised: "You are such a secret genius."
"Ha, if you want to say the secret genius, I am far from that old thing Yao." The three-headed person showed deep hatred and said coldly, "I have comprehended the Blood Anger Realm at the age of 13, joined Queyin at the age of 18, and promoted to the top of the Giant Tree Divine Sect at the age of 21. In his later years, he even personally climbed the tree and commanded the expeditionary army."
The deep hatred revealed in the three-headed words is not pretending. No wonder he has become a monster that is neither human nor ghost since he was born, and has lived in this hellish place for hundreds of years. All of this is thanks to Yao.
Lu Lie intentionally changed the topic: "Santou, you have lived here for so long. In addition to meeting adventurers from all over the world, have you ever encountered Yao's traces?"
Hundreds of years have passed, and with Yao's 70-year-old age when he climbed the tree, as a normal person, he should have died naturally.
But Yao is definitely not a normal person. He insisted on launching two expeditions, and even personally participated in the expedition, entering the giant tree at a height of 6,000 meters. From his abnormal behavior, it can be seen that this person has any secrets that others don’t know.
Since he could reincarnate these people as residents of the Yellow Springs, it is very likely that he himself found a way to truly immortality and was still lurking inside the giant tree.
Santou shook his head: "No. A hundred years ago, when my mother and other survivors returned here, they never saw Yao again. I have never seen Yao as a person, and I have heard everything about him tell me.
"Tell me a joke. Even if he is standing in front of me now, I can't recognize him."
After saying that, he even smiled. However, from Lu Lie's perspective, Santou smiled so fiercely and was very scary. Lu Lie couldn't help but shudder, and the four of them accelerated their pace.
After walking less than half an hour, the palace group that originally stood in the middle of the city became larger and larger in their perspective, and the carvings on the pavilions became clearer. Obviously, the three-headed leaders' path was to lead them towards the palace group.
The cannibal owl, who had been silent on the side, interrupted: "Is the words you said right in this palace group?"
Santou nodded: "There is a passage in this palace that allows you to go out. However, I am not sure whether you can go out in the end. It depends on your chance."
Without any warning, the cannibal owl approached Santou like a storm. With one punch and one finger, he completely lost his resistance and lay softly on the ground. The cannibal owl directly picked up his neck and said coldly: "I will give you another chance to say it. In front of me, I would like to advise you to be honest."
"What...what's going on? I... really just want to... help you..." The head in the middle of the three heads was pinched by the cannibal owl, and his face was obviously about to be breathless.
Although his secret technique is exquisite, once he is close to the top master like the cannibal owl, his magic power cannot be displayed.
Lu Lie also walked to the cannibal owl to prevent him from killing Santou in impulse: "Senior Bird, calm down. Let him go first, what's the point of saying?"
"What's going on? You know what's going on."
The cannibal owl slowly let go of his fingers, letting Santou breathe. Then he pinched his neck and said coldly, "I have been doubting it before. If you really knew the exit of this city, why have you been trapped here for hundreds of years, and why didn't you go out by yourself?
"I've been here for hundreds of years. Isn't it enough for you to make up a better excuse? To be honest, what's the purpose of you lie to us to approach that palace complex?"
The cannibal owl shouted angrily with a fierce look on his face.
In fact, he was not sure what the three heads and the other three were following. The reason why he did this was just to scare this guy and see if he could squeeze out any useful information.
After all, this place is extremely strange, and this guy's appearance is really terrifying.
Be careful to make the universal ship.
Santou took a breath in pain and stammered: "I have... said...that place...is very dangerous... in normal times...I... dare not approach...
"Let go...I'm going to suffocate..."
Three heads rolled their eyes and looked like they were about to faint.
