"Brother, do you want to buy candied haws on a stick?"
It was a little girl in red. She smiled innocently and raised the candied haws in her hand.
When Gu Chen saw her, he subconsciously took a few steps back!
He was deeply impressed by this little girl. He was quite frightened by her when he came back to the Gui Ruins last time.
Unlike other dead souls, she would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.
The last time he met her when he first entered the ghost market, Gu Chen drove her away, thinking that she had disappeared. Later, his shoulder was sore along the way, and when he looked back, he realized that she had been sitting on his shoulder and never left, and he had nothing to do with it.
Sleep.
This little girl was so evil that Gu Chen was so impressed that he instinctively avoided her!
Even Bai Yuan was so frightened by her last time that he bared his teeth for a moment!
"Go away!"
The ghost king looked evil and scolded the little girl.
In the past, those dead souls would immediately run away when they were scolded by him, the king of the ghost clan, but this little girl was different.
"Hehehe, this uncle is so scary, so scary..."
She actually flew towards the Ghost King, her lower body without legs, like a wisp of light smoke.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
The Ghost King was shocked and tried to teach her a lesson, but he couldn't touch her at all and couldn't do anything to her.
"It's really not that simple."
Gu Chen took a deep breath, even the Ghost King couldn't do anything. What is the origin of this little girl?
"Brother, do you want to buy candied haws on a stick?"
The little girl in red played with the Ghost King for a while, but seemed to find it boring, so she floated in front of Gu Chen and raised the candied haws in her hand.
Her face was originally as delicate as a porcelain doll, but when she raised her head, it suddenly rotted away, with maggots in and out of her eye sockets.
Gu Chen suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke calmly. "Brother, you can buy candied haws, as much as you have, but can you take me to see the Ghost Emperor?"
This little girl is very extraordinary and seems to have existed in the ghost ruins for a long time. Gu Chen is now seriously ill and seeks medical treatment, hoping that she can help him find the Ghost Emperor.
"Not fun."
The little girl didn't startle when she saw that Gu Chen's face turned frightened when he saw her. Instead, her delicate face returned to normal, with a look of disappointment on her face.
"It's not fun, it's not fun."
She floated away in the blink of an eye and disappeared around the corner of the street.
"Can't you..."
Gu Chen was slightly disappointed. He thought this little girl could understand what he said.
"It's useless. Although that female ghost is a bit special, the dead souls in the ghost ruins have been there for too long. Their self-awareness has long since disappeared. Without intelligence, they can't help you."
The little girl left, which actually made the Ghost King feel relieved.
His majestic ghost clan is actually as afraid of ghosts as the human clan.
Gu Chen's heart felt heavy, he really didn't know how to see the Ghost Emperor.
"Squeak!"
White Ape suddenly called out and pointed to the street corner.
There, the little girl in red who had walked away earlier stuck her head out and glanced at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's expression perked up and he quickly followed!
"Hey, wait!"
The Ghost King quickly followed behind.
He saw the little girl flashing across many street corners ahead, and Gu Chen followed her closely until he reached the tallest pagoda in the city.
"This is it."
Gu Chen looked at the dilapidated tower with surprise in his eyes. When he first entered the Ghost Ruins, he had practiced here for a period of time. It was here that he broke through to the supernatural realm and became a monk, so he was deeply impressed by this place.
The little girl entered the tower like a ghost, but instead of walking upstairs like Gu Chen did in the past, she flashed away and disappeared in a corner of the first floor.
Gu Chen and the Ghost King looked at each other in confusion. When they walked there, they felt slight fluctuations in the space.
"There is no mystery here."
The two took a deep breath and stepped into it without thinking too much!
Buzz——
There was a sudden spin, and they disappeared into the tower, only to reappear underground.
And ahead, there seems to be an underground river, and the overwhelming Yin Qi is blowing towards my face!
The sound of water rushing could be heard clearly from a very far away place, but when they were in the ghost ruins before, they didn't notice it at all.
"There is such a place under the ghost ruins."
The Ghost King felt that the Yin Qi here was ten or even a hundred times stronger than in the Ghost Ruins, and he was extremely shocked.
Gu Chen walked forward and saw the little girl walking towards the edge of the underground river.
When he arrived at the dark river and saw the appearance of the river clearly, Gu Chen's expression suddenly changed.
Even the Ghost King couldn't help but gasped several times!
The river water was obviously turbid yellow, with countless corpses floating in it, and it was flowing endlessly.
The clothes of the corpses were very simple, as if they had been soaked in the river water for endless years.
Gu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, recalling the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood that had appeared in his mind when he passed through the copper gate of the blood pool and arrived at the ghost ruins.
The illusion I saw when I came into contact with the bronze door was quite similar to this place!
"What the hell is this place?"
Gu Chen and the Ghost King walked up the underground river. There were so many corpses in the river that they were too dense to count.
Some of these corpses were human beings wearing ancient clothes, while others looked strange, unlike any of the five major ethnic groups in the mainland. Regardless of which ethnic group they were, they seemed to have experienced a fierce battle before their death, leaving countless knife marks and arrows on their bodies.
hole.
What was floating in the river was not only corpses and bones, but also a large number of remnant soldiers.
Out of curiosity, White Ape tried to get close to the river and carefully picked up a floating soldier.
This weapon was unlike any other weapon on the Kunlun continent. As soon as the white ape took it out, it immediately weathered, rusted, and turned into ashes.
It tried several times, but it was like this every time. These weapons seemed to be too ancient, existing because of the special nature of the river, and would be completely destroyed once they left the river.
"A long time ago, was there a war here? Who were the two sides of the war?"
Gu Chen's heart swayed, the scene here was too tragic, and the origins of those corpses were too strange, making people wonder.
"Could this place be the legendary Huangquan?"
The Ghost King thought for a long time, took a deep breath and said.
"It is rumored that the Ghost Emperor named the Underworld Tower when he created the dark force because there is a real underworld. It is said that this underworld is the entrance to hell. Our ghost tribe has also had rumors about it in the past generations, but no one has ever really believed it.
Saw it."
"It actually exists!"
The Ghost King's heart was filled with ups and downs as he recalled all the rumors about Huangquan.
Gu Chen didn't say anything. He knew nothing about the ghost tribe's myths and stories. They quickly came to an area near the middle reaches and found an ancient stone tablet.
The stone tablet was engraved with a type of writing that neither of them could understand. It was different from the human writing commonly used on the Kunlun Continent, and it was also different from the writing of the major alien races.
After reading the words on this stone tablet for a little too long, considering the cultivation level of the two kings, they actually felt a little dizzy!
"roar--"
"Hehehe."
Suddenly, there were waves of strange roars coming from the darkness upstream of Huangquan, accompanied by the little girl's laughter.
It seems that the little girl ran in here to play and alerted some special being.
Wow.
The sound of chains dragging on the ground was heard, and something seemed to be approaching the two of them in the darkness!
