Two days later, the three of them came to a dark fog.
The black fog in front of us is very wide, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers. There is no end that can be seen at a glance, and everything is gray.
Ye Xiong used his spiritual consciousness to investigate, and found that the black mist can corrode spiritual consciousness. When spiritual consciousness enters the black mist, its range cannot even reach one-tenth of the usual range.
"How did such a huge black fog form?" Ye Xiong looked around strangely.
Although there are valleys and other low-lying areas around, such a large area of black mist does not form. There must be some reason.
"Senior, this black mist has been formed for hundreds of years and cannot be dispersed by the wind. Over the years, the black mist inside still contains poisonous gas. For monks, this Dead Soul Abyss is a desperate place. I don't know.
How many monks died here and became dead souls, so it is called the abyss of dead souls." Li Lu said.
"Can no one find out?" Ye Xiong asked.
"Over the past hundreds of years, countless monks have wanted to enter here to investigate, but no one has been able to find out. Of course, there may be people who know about it, but it has not spread." Li Lu said.
Ye Xiong glanced at Jiang Ying and asked, "Where is the place where the trace of the devil was found?"
"Senior, it's five kilometers inside this black mist. Follow me."
After Jiang Ying finished speaking, a surge of vitality surged from her body to protect herself, and then she flew in.
Next, Ye Xiong and Li Lu also used their vitality to guard and flew in.
The visibility inside is very low, and no one can be seen within ten meters.
After entering one kilometer, the surroundings began to be blurry, and from time to time there would be fleeting shadows flying by. It was ethereal and I didn't know what they were.
"These are ghosts, some low-grade ghosts. After the monks die here, the ghosts remain, and these ghosts are formed. However, these ghosts have no attack ability at all, and they are the lowest-grade ghost cultivators." Jiang Ying said.
"You mean, ghosts can be alive in this black mist?" Ye Xiong asked in shock.
Generally speaking, after the death of a human monk, the soul will dissipate quickly before the Nascent Soul is formed. The soul will only stay under harsh circumstances.
Back on Earth, Ye Xiong had seen similar black fog, but at that time there was a Yin Ling Grass growing there.
Now this black fog can make the soul linger, which I have to say is really shocking.
"We say we are alive, but in fact it is almost the same as death, because the soul lingering in this black mist is just the initial state of the soul, just like an ordinary walking corpse. It cannot practice, has no consciousness, and is no different from some gas." Jiang Ying
said.
There happened to be a ghost floating by. Ye Xiong followed it and grabbed it, trying to hold it in his hand.
Unexpectedly, the ghost shattered into pieces and turned into a plume of black smoke as soon as it was hit.
There is no defensive ability at all.
"Are there more powerful ghost cultivators inside?" Ye Xiong continued to ask.
I think back then, he had also been to the ghost world and had some understanding of ghost cultivators. Suzaku was a ghost cultivator.
On Earth, in order to find Yin Ling Grass, he once entered a place where ghost cultivators could survive. However, there were treasures such as Yin Ling Grass in the ghost world. I wonder if there were similar treasures in the ghost world here that would allow ghost cultivators to survive.
Repair survives.
"I don't know either. I only entered about one kilometer and didn't go any deeper," Jiang Ying said.
"Let's go in!"
A group of three people continued to go in. The deeper they went, the greater the black mist corroded the body's protective energy.
Of course, these are only for ordinary people, and have little impact on the realms of Ye Xiong and Zhu Lu.
Jiang Ying, on the other hand, felt a little struggling. After all, she was only at the late stage of the Golden Core.
"How far is it?" Ye Xiong asked again.
"It's right in front." Jiang Ying said.
After walking a few kilometers, Jiang Ying suddenly stopped and said, "There is a cave ahead, and that's where I accidentally broke into."
Ye Xiong walked over and found that there was a cave there. In the valley, it was so dark inside that you couldn't see your fingers.
This should be the place where the protector asked Jiang Ying to trick him into coming. There must be a trap inside, but what kind of trap it is is unknown.
Ye Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in."
Take a big step in.
Jiang Ying and Li Lu looked at each other and followed him in.
As soon as the three of them entered, there was a sudden space distortion in front of them. When they went out again, their bodies were already in a basement.
The entrance just now was actually a teleportation array.
In front of him is a long walkway, surrounded by stone walls. On the top of the stone wall, there are many luminous stones as big as thumbs embedded in them. The green light shines down, making the surroundings look eerie.
The secret passage has no end in sight, it is empty and contains nothing.
Ye Xiong strode ahead, releasing his spiritual consciousness to the maximum, taking every step carefully.
After advancing a few dozen meters, he suddenly stopped.
Fifty meters away, they saw a man in black robe floating in front of them, blocking their way. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
The man was wrapped in a black robe, with only a pair of green eyes exposed, looking like a ghost from hell.
"Why did it take you so long to come here? I've been waiting for you for a long time." The man in black robe said calmly, with impatience in his voice.
Hearing his voice, Jiang Ying quickly walked up to Ye Xiong and whispered: "Judging from his voice, he should be my boss, the protector who has always arranged for me to do things."
Seeing Jiang Ying walking up to Ye Xiong, the protector's green eyes immediately stared at her and said angrily: "Jiang Ying, how dare you betray me, don't you want to live?"
"Dharma protector, good birds choose trees to roost in. I'm just trying to survive. I'm sorry," she said.
She said this because she actually wanted to give herself a chance to survive.
Although in her heart, she believed that the Northern Venerable could crush the Protector, nothing was absolute. If the Northern Venerable lost, she could still tell the Protector that she was only forced, which would give herself a leeway.
"I have to say, you made a very stupid choice." The protector snorted, his eyes fell on Ye Xiong and said, "I admire your courage very much. You dared to come in and die even though you knew there was a trap in front of you."
Ye Xiong looked around, and finally landed on one of the green luminous stones above his head, and sneered: "Do you think you can deal with me with just these broken stones?"
After saying that, he flicked out his finger, and a cold light shot out, hitting the luminous stone in the middle.
There was only a bang, and the luminous stone shattered instantly, fell to the ground, and fell into pieces.
The protector's expression changed greatly. He didn't expect that his trap was so tightly laid and he was actually discovered in a single encounter.
This luminous stone is an illusion magic weapon. As long as you enter this magic weapon, you will be enchanted. He specially placed it in this stone passage to give him nowhere to hide. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed in an instant.
"Even without this magic weapon, it's not enough to kill you."
