Netherworld Chapter 143: Love and Tao (4)
I was horrified to find that the ground around me was covered with many terrifying stone sculptures.
They were scary-looking ghost messengers with bared teeth, and many of them held weapons in their hands.
At this moment, the stone layers on their bodies were also melting away. Their dark blue skin was constantly exposed. I saw that a ghost's weapon was flashing a dazzling murderous light.
I can’t wait any longer… I immediately prepared to recite the Eight Ropes Protection Mantra, escape into the void, and flee from this place of trouble.
The speed of the ghosts' resurrection was too fast. It had only been a few minutes since the Nine Dragons fell to the ground, and most of their bodies had recovered. This astonishing speed proved that the underworld was reviving.
And subconsciously looking at the body of the Emperor of Heaven in the distance, should he chase after the old Taoist?
Judging from the current situation, if we go to find the Taoist priest, the chances of our survival are very low. The Eight-Rope Protection Spell has a limited duration, and in this vast underworld, this time is not enough.
Moreover, the underworld has begun to revive, and perhaps it won’t be long before we can see ghost officials wandering around.
I have never thought about whether the ghost messenger is proactively aggressive, and I dare not experiment with it.
The Wei family’s bitter lesson has proved that a rookie like me is not even as good as an ant to the ghost catcher.
After a little thought, I decided to go find the Taoist priest.
This place is not too far from the body of the Emperor of Heaven. With the speed in the void, it won’t take long to get there.
After making up my mind, I immediately chanted the protective spell and disappeared into the void. Then, without stopping for a moment, I ran towards the body of the Emperor of Heaven.
Along the way, we kept seeing resurrected ghosts. There weren't many of them, only one or two every hundred meters.
But this is a ghost messenger, one of which can kill most of the Wei family’s ghost messengers!
As I ran, I was thinking, what if the Taoist priest doesn't want to go with me?
But I didn't think of a good solution, because I couldn't beat the Taoist priest, and he was not someone who was willing to listen to other people's opinions.
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time . This is Laodao’s Plan A, and now it is also my Plan A.
All the way to the body of the Emperor of Heaven which was thousands of meters high, it was already a mess over there.
There were originally thousands of disciples of the Emperor's bloodline surrounding the body of the Emperor, but the turmoil caused by the Nine Dragons falling to the ground caused the talismans to explode wildly. Countless people were caught in it, and this time, they did not turn into pure air, but were directly annihilated from the world.
That is not a force that humans can resist, so they are just unlucky. However, I am more and more worried about Lao Dao's safety.
When I ran to that area, there were only a few disciples of the imperial bloodline left.
In the previous devastating disaster, not many people survived, only about a few hundred people. And at this moment, most of these hundreds of people were fleeing frantically.
Because they also saw the resurrected ghost.
There were more than a hundred people left near the body of the Emperor of Heaven, and Dong Balang was among them.
He looked gloomy as he looked at the fleeing disciples. He did not speak, nor did he give any orders, because even among the few hundred people around him, many looked terrified, looking around, as if they were considering a route to escape.
Dong Balang suddenly turned around and faced the body of the Emperor of Heaven a thousand meters away, and he began to walk forward step by step.
Most of the runes around have exploded, and there is a safe but rugged road in front of us.
Dongbalang walked step by step, very steady and calm, just like his mood. Dozens of people followed him without hesitation, they were people dressed the same as him. Some others looked at each other, and more than a dozen people walked out. As for the rest, they dispersed after Dongbalang walked a few dozen meters forward.
The original large army of thousands of people now has only dozens of people left.
In this chaotic land that looked like it had been bombed by artillery shells, the pace of the Dongbalang people seemed extremely sad.
However, they are not the ones I am concerned about. I want to know where the Taoist priest is.
He was not in Dongbalang's team, nor was he among the fleeing crowd.
Could it be... that he is already dead?
I panicked and subconsciously ruled out this possibility.
With his experienced skills and agility, even these people from the Emperor's Bloodline could survive, so how could he die?
I looked at the body of the Emperor of Heaven a thousand meters away, and without thinking much, I continued to run towards there.
When I passed by Dongbalan, I turned my head and took a look.
This man, who has devoted himself to the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven and has some ulterior motives, is a relatively upright man among the practitioners I know. Now his face is gloomy, with an expression of disappointment that he can hardly conceal, and some disdain on it.
The dozens of people who followed him remained silent. Like the most devout believers, they walked step by step towards their beliefs.
When they reach the end, what they see may be heaven, or maybe ... hell.
It didn’t take me long to walk more than a thousand meters.
This is the moment when I am closest to the Emperor of Heaven. This powerful man who has been famous in the world for two thousand years is standing in front of me at this moment.
He was motionless, as if he was already dead. The golden light on his body was gradually fading, but under his feet, there were still talismanic chains entangled.
My guess was right. In the state of nothingness, even this strange talisman could not harm me.
However, I still couldn't find the old Taoist priest. He seemed to have disappeared.
Could it be that he is really dead?
I raised the possibility again, which made me even more panicked.
The Eight-Rope Protective Spell makes me the person who doesn't have to worry about safety the least in the entire underworld. But without the experienced Taoist priest, I might become the person who is most likely to be killed .
This is absolutely not what I want to see!
Where on earth did this damn old man go? I cursed angrily.
At this moment, I felt like something was constantly flowing out of my body.
It wasn't very fast, but it was noticeable. I didn't know what it was, but as time went by, I started to get a severe headache.
This is a symbol of the exhaustion of spiritual power, which can no longer support the protective spell.
I was horrified. If I lost the protection of the protective spell here, I would probably be strangled to death by the talisman in the next second, not to mention waiting for the ghost messenger.
I didn't dare stay any longer. I had already tried my best. No matter whether the Taoist priest was alive or dead, at least I had no guilt.
Although I felt a little sad, in order to save my life, I still ran quickly back the way I came.
Dong Balang and his companions had only walked halfway, and were still moving forward slowly. They took one step at a time, as if they wanted to leave their mark in the underworld.
I didn't stop and kept running forward.
However, after running less than two kilometers, my legs went weak and I fell to the ground.
The protective spell disappeared, and I returned to the real world.
This time, I felt dizzy and had no strength to get up from the ground for a while.
I subconsciously looked left and right, trying to figure out where I was. But when I turned my head to the right, I saw a horrifying scene.
Less than ten meters to my right, a ghost had completely recovered. The stone layers on its body had all fallen off, and its body was dark blue. Although it had no weapons, its nails were as sharp as short blades, which scared me to death.
I panicked and used my hands and feet to try to get up from the ground, but this time I was too weak. I tried to get up twice, but fell back to the ground the next second.
At this moment, I saw the ghost on the right opened his eyes.
This was a terrifying creature that was over three meters tall. It only had eyes, no nose or mouth, and a tuft of dark blue hair grew by its ears. There were a few white lines on its dark blue skin.
Its eyes were not black and white like humans', but pure dark blue. They seemed dim, but the moment it opened its eyes and looked at me, I felt like my soul was about to rush out from the top of my head.
It's not fear, but those eyes have strange powers.
This was the first time I faced such a dangerous situation alone. At this moment when I almost lost my life, there was no experience or anyone who could help me.
Some people say that when you feel your life is threatened, you will react most instinctively.
My instinct was to open my mouth wide, breathe deep, and shout: Help! Ah!
I don't know if it was my voice that caught the ghost's attention, but after I spoke, it actually raised its legs and took a step, and was in front of me in the blink of an eye. At that time, I just uttered a cry for help, and then I was so scared that I could only scream "Ahhh"!
Extreme fear.
The ghost's claws grabbed me, and I finally understood what it felt like before dying. It was like wanting to poop, but suddenly finding out that I was constipated, a feeling of frustration that made my heart burst...
Suddenly, I felt my chest pocket suddenly expand and a gust of wind blew past .
A huge black hole suddenly appeared behind the ghost. Just as it noticed the movement and tried to turn around, it was sucked in. The black hole closed immediately, and the next second, I was horrified to see an extremely huge beast appear in front of me.
It just stood there, looking at me quietly with a pair of huge eyes like copper bells.
