Arriving at Wuhu Lake without any danger, the four of them stood by the lake and stopped moving forward.
Along the way, each level of hell has different dangers, and this Skinning Hell is certainly no exception.
The water of Wuhu Lake is clear and transparent, as flat as a mirror, with a hint of cold air rising from the surface. When standing on the shore, you need to use your energy to resist, otherwise the cold air will enter the body and form cold poison, which will be a big trouble.
"It's so cold, brother Xiao Chen, where is the gate of hell and how can we get there?" Xiaobai looked at the boundless lake and asked Xiao Chen.
Guimenguan, Qingcheng said, is in the center of the lake. As far as the eye can see, there is a flat lake surface, and Guimenguan is not seen.
There is an island in the middle of the lake. It is too far away to see clearly.
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, held his right hand in the air, and caught some airflow. He quickly formed a seal with his left hand and used it as a weapon.
In a moment, a figure similar to Xiao Chen fell to the ground.
Now that Xiao Chen's mana has greatly increased, he can use objects as weapons with just a grab, but the carrier is not a spiritual object, so it won't have very strong combat effectiveness.
Under Xiao Chen's command, the puppet jumped into the air and flew towards the Wuhu Lake. However, it was frozen into an ice sculpture before it landed on the water.
With a sloshing sound, he fell into the water. Xiao Chen's consciousness was also disconnected, and his face couldn't help but look solemn.
Kong Yuan frowned and said: "This cold air is not ordinary and terrifying. It is estimated that when we walk on it, we can exert at most 60 to 70% of our strength. It would be great if Na Qingcheng is here, he will definitely know what to do."
Standing in such a biting cold air, you must always consume the power of law to protect yourself, and naturally your combat power cannot be fully exerted.
Xiao Chen was thoughtful, and the blazing purple fire began to gather in his right eye. With a thought, the purple thunder true fire vented from his right eye towards Wuhu Lake.
Zizi's voice suddenly sounded continuously above the water, and waves of mist gradually rose.
The clear lake water was quickly evaporated, and soon a huge pit appeared where the Purple Thunder True Fire was covering it.
But the expected whirlpool did not appear. Without any sound, the lake slowly filled up, which was extremely strange.
"Forget it, nothing can be gained from testing like this. I'll go over and check first. If there's no danger, you guys can come down."
Finding nothing, Xiao Chen put away the purple fire and prepared to go there in person.
Yuan Xu said in a deep voice: "Let's go down together so that we can take care of you. I guess the gate of hell is on that island."
Xiao Chen thought about it. With the strength of a few people, they can work together to deal with the Grand Master. The gate of hell is likely to be under the center of the lake.
At this moment, Xiao Chen accidentally glanced and found some very shallow footprints on the ground, which could not be found without looking carefully.
Several other people noticed Xiao Chen's gaze and quickly looked around, also discovering the presence of footprints.
Someone has been here, more than one person.
Xiao Chen compared it and found that the footprints of the four of them were almost the same. Two of them were even shallower than the footprints left by Xiao Chen and the other four.
Sometimes, some things left inadvertently are the most real.
If it is not intentional, the depth of the footprints can reveal a person's control of strength and body, and the strength of the owner of the footprints can be seen from the side.
Xiao Bai said with some worry: "These people are not simple in strength. Two of them have the cultivation level of a great master."
"I don't know what you are here for. Could it be that you are also going to the hell gate?"
Yuan Xu shook his head and said: "Probably not. Yin Fire is abundant in Jiuyou Purgatory. This group of people should be here to hunt for Yin Fire."
There are no treasures on Huangquan Road, and most people would not rush there for no reason.
Xiao Chen immediately thought of the group of people in Yaoshen Valley. He was afraid that they might be in trouble now. He just hoped that the Yin Fire hunted by the other party was not in the island in the middle of the lake.
"Let's go!"
Taking the lead, Xiao Chen leaped out. There was an invisible pressure in the sky, making Xiao Chen unable to lift into the air and had to walk on the water.
The cold air spread, and his feet were immediately frozen.
"It's really troublesome."
With a shock of luck, the ice cubes were broken into pieces. Xiao Chen continued to walk forward, followed by Xiao Bai and others.
When walking on the lake, the power of laws is constantly being consumed, otherwise, you will turn into an ice sculpture in just a moment.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt something was caught on the sole of his foot. At first, he thought it was due to the increased coldness.
But a huge pulling force pulled him downwards, only to find that something was wrong, it turned out to be a skeleton palm.
However, Xiao Chen's strength was so great. Every move he made had the power of three dragons. How could he be pulled off? He kicked his right foot upwards hard.
Water splashed everywhere, and a skeleton ghost with only a skeleton left was thrown out by him.
"Quack, quack, my skin, my skin..."
The skeleton opened its mouth and shouted incomprehensibly, then spun in the air and shot towards Xiao Chen.
Click, click, click!
Before Xiao Chen could take action, Xiao Bai next to him unsheathed the snow feather sword in his hand, and chopped the skeleton ghost into pieces with a few wisps of sword energy.
"Brother Xiao Chen, are you okay?" Xiao Bai asked with concern.
Xiao Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, hey, be careful!"
I saw the skeletons that were broken into pieces in the space. The moment they landed on the water, they reunited and charged towards Xiao Bai's back.
Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward, a ray of light leaped out from his fingertips, smashing the skeleton into pieces again.
"Come on, these monsters can't be killed!"
As the words fell, skeletons and ghosts kept appearing above the water, blocking the way of several people one after another, shouting "My skin, my skin, my skin" in a creepy voice.
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Chen opened the way ahead, facing the freezing cold at the bottom of the lake and dealing with the skeletons flying in front of him. It was very hard to walk.
Skeletons and ghosts are endlessly killing them, and they appear one after another, killing more and more in the end. Two hours later, everyone had walked less than ten miles, and they were still a long way from the island in the middle of the lake.
If their physical strength is exhausted, several people will really die before they can feel the island.
Skeleton ghosts are not very strong, at most they are equivalent to peak martial emperors, but they cannot be killed. There are so many of them that low-level martial saints will be killed by just one encounter.
Kong Yuan's voice was trembling as he said, "Could it be that in the Skinning Hell, all the human skeletons whose skins were peeled off were all thrown into this lake?"
Think about the densely packed human skins in the iron forest. The number is terrifying, no less than a million.
The invisible pressure in the sky always existed. Xiao Chen felt that the Wuhu Lake under his feet was a prison, with the sky as the top and water as the bottom.
In front of such invincible ghosts, it feels like any powerful martial arts has become a decoration.
Yuan Xu and others had previously performed a large-scale heaven-level martial arts, but in the blink of an eye, these ghosts came to life again, but one of their own laws was consumed a lot.
His brows were furrowed, and he no longer dared to waste the power of the law indiscriminately.
Just when several people were thinking of retreating, Xiao Chen suddenly heard that there was a reincarnation lamp in his Qiankun Ring, which was designed to kill ghosts.
"Help me protect the law and I will repel these ghosts!"
Xiaobai and the other three, their eyes lit up, each guarding one side, and quickly surrounded Xiao Chen in the middle to prevent other skeletons and ghosts from disturbing him.
The reincarnation lamp appeared in the palm of his hand. Xiao Chen tossed it gently, and a little blood essence popped out and fell on the wick.
The flickering lights were lit, and rounds of brilliance appeared behind the ancient lamp. With the stimulation of Xiao Chen's magic power, the illusory figure in the brilliance slowly became clear.
"Immortal noble beings, immeasurable people, preach the sutra once, and all the great sages in the heavens will praise you for being good at the same time. He preaches the sutra twice, and the dry bones are reborn. He preaches the sutra three times, and then goes through reincarnation..."
The illusive figure, surrounded by immortal energy, opened his mouth and spoke a mysterious sutra. The sutra contains the ghost sword of reincarnation, which has the power to save all living beings.
Thousands of skeletons and ghosts on the lake suddenly stopped moving and began to shatter into pieces. Balls of soft spiritual light shot up into the sky.
The auras are all in human form. Some are dressed as scholars, some are dressed as businessmen, and some are dressed as knights. They have all kinds of looks, and they are written all over the world.
The human skins on the iron trees also burned one by one, and the entire forest was engulfed in fire. This skinning hell seemed to disappear.
If reincarnation is still around, these spiritual lights will be reincarnated after leaving the sea of suffering. But now that the six paths are broken, these spiritual lights can only fend for themselves.
Xiaobai and others were shocked when they saw this scene. They didn't expect that such a difficult ghost could destroy them like this.
Xiao Chen almost exhausted his mana before he was able to save this and all the skeleton ghosts in Wuhu Lake.
He stood up and held the reincarnation lamp in his hand, Xiao Chen said: "Let's go, I guess the people on the island have been alerted. We need to go faster and don't conflict with them."
