Ai Li suddenly reached behind her, and Xu Le also reached out his hand to her.
But the fingers of the two people were intertwined, and Xu Le's body actually appeared in a ghostly and ethereal state at this moment.
Seeing Ai Li's slightly anxious expression, Xu Le calmed down.
"Don't panic, gurgle gurgle gurgle... TM, gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
It turns out that people can really drown around the ghost ship!
Xu Le stretched out his hand towards the ground and slowly sank into the earth.
…
Under the ground, Xu Le could actually see what was happening on the ground.
But his body was still sinking. It felt like he was looking at a screen in the water but couldn't touch anything on the screen.
After the experience of choking on water several times before, Xu Le no longer had any intention of sucking water.
The Soul Tree stabilized his mind and allowed Xu Le to feel the river-like state around him.
However, what was flowing around him was not water, but wisps of blue liquid souls, mixed with a large number of wailing wronged souls.
These wronged souls will actively release a large amount of negative mental energy. Fortunately, these mental energies will be absorbed and filtered by the Soul Tree. Otherwise, Xu Le would not be able to survive in such a river of souls.
The only thing that surprised Xu Le was that he had been in the water of the River of Souls for almost 1-2 minutes.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable or anything like that. Even if he didn't breathe actively, it didn't seem to matter. This state...
"Breathing underwater? This ability that Suicune gave me can actually work in the River of Souls
In this case, this ability to breathe underwater is a bit strong. I'd better be more polite when I see Suicune next time.
Ask it what other amazing abilities it can grant, fruits or something, 3-5 will be fine!"
Xu Le felt his condition and felt that he could still hold his breath for 15-20 minutes.
Although the time is not short, he must act.
You have to find the exit of the River of Souls within 15-20 minutes.
…
On the ground, Xu Le and the ghost ship disappeared at the same time.
Ding Ke had already jumped off the toad and scratched the ground with his little cat claws, but the ground was real concrete pavement!
Where was Xu Le taken
Meow! ~
Boom! Ai Li slammed the ground hard, but there was still no reaction, let alone the appearance of a portal being created by smashing the ground with a hammer.
"Oh!" Ai Li was a little annoyed. If she had paid more attention to Xu Le just now, perhaps this kind of thing would not have happened.
Ding Ke stretched out his claws and grabbed Ai Li's trouser leg.
Ai Li looked at the black cat strangely. Black cats are ominous creatures, and this is the same saying in almost all cities. But Xu Le seems to love this cat very much, and this has happened more than once or twice.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ai Li felt a little stupid. She actually asked a cat questions and secretly expected the cat to answer her questions. How stupid.
However, under Ai Li's hesitant gaze, the black cat Ding Keju then stood up.
It pointed toward the place in the distance where the battle was most intense.
Meow meow meow! ~
The corners of Ai Li's mouth twitched. She didn't have Xu Le's ability to understand Ding Ke's thoughts.
However, Ding Ke's almost humane action still surprised her. What do you want to tell me
Ding Ke raised his eyebrows. Why is this dog so stupid
No, all dogs are stupid, not just this one.
The cat pointed its paw again, and then pointed to the place where Xu Le disappeared before.
Meow!
"You mean, Xu Le is over there?" Ai Li felt that the world had gone crazy. A cat actually gave her advice at this time.
Ding Ke nodded at this time to indicate that it was correct.
Meow!
Ai Li was very confused and hesitant. Under normal circumstances, no one would actively trust a cat.
What's more, she is a high-level warrior.
But at this time, Levis, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"I think Ms. Ai Li can actually trust Lord Ding Ke. Lord Ding Ke is an amazing person."
"Ding Ke... Sir?" Ai Li looked at Levis.
"Yes, that's what my great-great-grandmother told me."
Hold your chest high! Hold your head high!
Ding Ke looked at Levis with satisfaction. This boy is quite sensible.
With the affirmation of the warlock Levis, Ai Li finally nodded.
"Okay, then be careful."
"I'll go with you." Wang Shu, who had been listening to the conversation between the two parties in silence, also spoke.
Ai Li glanced at Wang Shu. Wang Shu’s strength was very good, at least the kind that she recognized. He also had extremely good strength among level 3.
What's more, he also has the ability of the fruit of the Golden Light Tree, so he is very secure.
"good."
After the two left, Ding Ke happily jumped back onto the toad's head.
The toad raised its eyebrows slightly, as if it didn't like having such a small thing standing on its head, but it also had a feeling that this thing was not easy to mess with.
What should I do
Bang!
There was a puff of white smoke, and Ding Ke fell from mid-air.
It scratched around in annoyance, but the toad had already run away, so it couldn't catch it even if it wanted to.
Meow! ~
…
Xu Le in the river looked around and hesitated slightly.
It’s very interesting that the soul ferryman pulled him in here but didn’t continue to attack him.
The entrance to this river is actually the soul ferryman's boat. Perhaps you can get out by finding the ferryman's boat.
Xu Le followed the underground soul river and floated to the far end. His swimming skills were not very good, but at this time, he still had to force himself to swim.
He swam toward the north, and as he swam, the current of the River of Souls seemed to become more and more turbulent.
Before that, he just pretended to do a breaststroke.
But now, even if he didn't move, the current would take him somewhere.
Feeling something was a little wrong, Xu Le took out the black staff and turned it into an umbrella shape, which was the same form that Ding Ke had used before.
Hanging upside down in an umbrella shape, the water flow can be slower than before.
There were more and more wailing souls around, struggling to escape, as if there was something terrible ahead.
But the water of the River of Souls was too turbulent, and those who were struggling to escape could not escape at this time.
As the exit approached, Xu Le's body began to float towards the upper level of the River of Souls.
As he gradually got closer to the ground, he could see clearly what was on the ground!
Siege!
Zion's law enforcers, masters of sorcerers and warriors, as well as a large number of law enforcers, all with various weapons and equipment were bombarding towards a monster.
They are surrounding this monster.
And this monster... It looks like a human and a beast, 4-5 meters tall, with thick hair on its lower body, and kneeling on the ground barefoot.
The upper body is naked, with explosive muscles all over the body. There are many scars on it, and each scar looks different, as if they were left after experiencing various battles.
It has lion-like red hair, one hand is on the ground, and the other hand is holding a big sword like a giant door panel.
Well, maybe this thing isn't a sword, it could be a door panel knife, or a sledgehammer or an axe or something like that.
In short, it is not a normal conventional weapon.
Because it was facing away from Xu Le, Xu Le had no way of seeing what its face looked like.
Yama, a level 5 monster, the lord of Guyinduo.
The introduction of Yama is very simple, and there are only three pieces of information marked on it in the ancient secret language.
Name, level, ancient sound, multiple lords.
But the oppressive feeling brought by Yan Luo is completely different from that of the previous soul-catching singer, the mute girl, and the soul ferryman, Old Man Ge. There is no need to even compare them.
The power of the lord is too strong!
Even though there was a river between the soul and reality, Xu Le could still feel the strong mental energy emanating from it.
Anger and fear.
Xu Le knew very well that among these masters who besieged Yan Luo, several of them had mental energy masking devices.
Now that they were very close, Xu Le could feel the stronger fear and anger being absorbed by the leaves of the Guyinduo tree and flowing towards him.
The fear and anger felt by these masters all come from Yama.
It is polluting, polluting the area, polluting the land of Zion.
In the past, when Xu Le saw the ancient Yinduo polluters, his feelings were not so strong. His understanding of the word "pollution" was limited to injuries and infections caused by battles.
But Yama is different.
Even through the lake of souls, Xu Le could feel its pollution.
The weak have no way of participating in such a battle for too long. The mental energy of fear and anger will devour warriors who are not mentally strong enough!
After all, not everyone has enough willpower to fight against mental energy.
The battle on the ground continued, ice, fire, darkness, light, all kinds of spells bombarded Yan Luo's body.
However, all these attacks were blocked by Yan Luo with his body and the big sword that was as big as a door panel.
The shelling continued all around, and there were signs that it was increasing in intensity.
Although the body of a Level 5 Lord is strong, it cannot withstand such attacks from spells and artillery bombardments.
The flesh and blood were blurry, but they were also inexplicably repaired.
Xu Le always had a familiar feeling when he saw Yan Luo's flesh and blood being restored.
"Is this thing... the Mother Tree Realm?"
Xu Le knew very well that in the Mother Tree Realm, whether it was him, Chi Xiao, or other holders of the Destiny Fruit who could reach the Mother Tree Realm.
They can all use the special state of the Mother Tree Realm to be reborn infinitely.
It is rebirth, not resurrection, because he is not dead. Even if his soul is shattered, it can be reassembled in just a few tens of seconds.
Therefore, all fighting and hostility within the Mother Tree Realm are meaningless.
Yan Luo’s current state is the same as Xu Le and the others’ in the Mother Tree Realm, almost an immortal being.
Under normal circumstances, even a level 5 lord monster would have been killed long ago when facing such intensive artillery bombardment.
But Yan Luo just carried it on his back, struggling on the ground, roaring, and howling in despair.
At this moment, the soul ferryman appeared beside Yan Luo.
"Lord Yan Luo, I have brought you the most tender and delicious soul. Please enjoy it slowly."
With the appearance of the Soul Ferryman, Yama's angry energy also reached its peak.
Roar! ~
Ignoring the bombardment of artillery fire, it let out an angry roar, raised the door panel sword in its hand, and smashed it towards the soul ferryman.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It smashed two or three big holes on the ground, but the continuous artillery fire and magic spells around were still suppressing Yan Luo.
It wanted to die very much, but it couldn't die at this time and could only continue to suffer here.
roar!
With another roar, Yan Luo rushed towards the ghost ship frantically, but the soul ferryman on the ghost ship seemed to be guiding him deliberately.
Old Man Ge rowed the boat and took Yan Luo towards the residential area.
The general headed by the law enforcer shouted hurriedly:
"We can't let it get to residential areas. We need to increase our firepower and suppress it."
"yes."
There was continuous artillery fire, and Yan Luo, who rushed towards the residential area, was suppressed again.
It retreated while roaring wildly, its physical injuries healed again and again, and the pain and anger continued to torment its mind.
Suddenly, Yan Luo grasped the door panel sword in his hand and threw the sword out like a boomerang.
"careful!"
The spinning sword was impossible to stop, and the sturdy spiked rolling chariot was chopped into pieces by it in one blow.
Although there was no vehicle explosion as seen in action movies, the rolling tank was indeed cut in half with both the car and the people on it.
Having succeeded in his attack, Yan Luo rushed directly towards the army of law enforcers, and a massacre was about to begin.
Under the desperate gazes of several low-level warriors, the law enforcer general Luo Ning dropped from the sky and his body swelled instantly.
2 meters, 3 meters, all the way to 5 meters, the upright veteran was a head taller than Yama Luo in front of him.
Soon, Ronin threw a punch in the form of a giant.
And Yan Luo also responded with the same punch.
boom!
Yan Luo flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
Veteran Roning's condition was not ideal either. He took a few steps back with difficulty and bumped into the wall behind him.
In order not to cause too much damage to the city, he himself unloaded more power than Yan Luo.
If he flew out like Yan Luo, he would have received less damage. But the sweat on the giant's forehead and the slightly trembling arms showed that the veteran was injured...
Although the power of the Giant Fruit is great, the veteran is still essentially a level 4 warrior.
He has not reached the realm of warrior energy. In other words, in terms of the realm of warrior alone, the veteran is not even as good as Bai Jing was in the past.
The reason he was able to fight against Yama was just because of the boost he received from the Giant Fruit.
"Sir, it... it..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm here. Continue suppressing fire and contact the Warlock Group to prepare for hunting big arrows."
"yes."
Underground, as the soul river flowed, Xu Le in the river was getting closer and closer to the battlefield. The collision of pure power between the giant and Yama just now made him feel a little excited.
"A warrior who can fight against a level 5 lord! Much stronger than Ai Li."
The river of souls became clearer in the ancient sound multi-perspective.
The turbulent river made it almost impossible for Xu Le to stabilize his body. Xu Le estimated that at this speed, he would soon be thrown onto the surface of the Soul River.
Although the surface of the river was like a mirror, Xu Le had clearly felt its hardness before. He quickly turned the black stick in his hand into a black sword, and then stabbed the black sword into the surface of the River of Souls.
bite!
As the black sword pierced in, the pace at which Xu Le was being washed away finally slowed down.
He looked in front of him with some horror. The ghosts in the Soul River were all pressing towards here. This was a place similar to a whirlpool.
All souls that approach the vortex will be crushed and become a special kind of fuel that flows upward.
And at the end of this tiny channel, there is a furry thin line.
Xu Le didn't know whether he should call this thing a thin thread. Anyway, it was white and had many velvety thorns floating on it.
The very end of this velvety wool thread will spread out into a large number of thin filaments, which will connect to the Yama on the ground and provide it with a continuous supply of energy from the soul river.
Seeing this, Xu Le finally understood why Yan Luo had the ability to be reborn almost infinitely.
It turns out that the whirlpools and thorns here are providing it with soul energy.
"The strings that control the soul? Are they the puppet's? It doesn't seem like that..."
Xu Le had no way of analyzing the behavior of this Yama. It showed extreme anger towards the ghost ship, which showed that it and the Soul Ferryman were not monsters in the same system.
Then how did this Yama appear here
Xu Le thought as he looked towards the spiral of the exit.
This is indeed the exit, but Xu Le feels that if he wants to get out of here, he will probably be ground into meat paste and become part of the soul nourishment.
"How should I get out now?"
Card! ~
The point where the black sword had pierced broke into pieces, and Xu Le's body suddenly paused forward, and he was almost sucked into the whirlpool.
"Fuck, I almost got cold!"
Xu Le used his foot to hold the black sword again while forming a seal with one hand.
"Ritual-Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle... Fuck! @%#"
Although Xu Le did not use the spell correctly, a stream of spiritual energy was still drawn out as he formed the seal.
He succeeded and successfully summoned several zombies.
Then, the bodies of these zombies were immediately pulverized into pieces by the vortex of souls, and bit by bit became some kind of corrupt substance, flowing towards Yama Luo who was fighting with the veteran.
"It's over, all in vain..." Xu Le thought to himself.
Yan Luo, who had already lost his mind, did not care about the life and death of a mere human being. He suddenly jumped up, grabbed the door panel and sword from the shattered chariot, and rushed towards the giant veteran.
Veteran Roning picked up a mace from a truck nearby. The shape of the mace was similar to Ai Li's, but it was a little bigger.
Xu Le didn't quite understand why the high-level warriors in Zion all liked to use giant iron rods. Perhaps it was because this weapon could more easily unleash their power? I'll ask again when I have a chance.
Yan Luo's body approached rapidly, and in terms of speed, it was much faster than the veteran.
The addition of speed would provide it with too much extra impact force. Facing this attack, the veteran's face looked very solemn.
The mace and the greatsword collided.
boom!
The giant sword flew out of his hand and hit Yan Luo's shoulder, breaking everything from his shoulder to his heart.
The veteran's condition was also very bad, his fingertips were covered in blood and cracks.
Even he couldn't withstand such a heavy blow just now.
At this time, many bones in his body had been broken. If this continued, he would probably not be able to continue fighting with Yan Luo.
Yan Luo fell to his knees on the ground, as if he was about to die.
The veteran kicked the half-dead Yan Luo away, and then shouted to the law enforcer beside him:
"What are those warlocks doing?"
"Preparations are underway, Lord Ronin."
"Cough cough." Veteran Roning coughed violently a few times. Without even looking, he knew that he had definitely coughed up a lot of blood.
But there was no way out now. He could not show weakness, nor could he retreat.
We can only rely on those sorcerers, and then we can seal Yama!
The veteran glanced around and saw that the city of Zion was destroyed like this. This was definitely not what the parliament wanted to see.
Their defense work has been done to the extreme, and the results are very good, even though the battle is very brutal and the black tide is more ferocious than ever before.
They were also able to keep the Black Tide out, with only a few flying species making it through the defenses.
Moreover, flying monsters will be immediately killed by the city’s defenses to minimize harm to the citizens.
But where do these sudden strangeness come from
After Yan Luo was kicked away, there was another burst of fierce artillery fire. Its body had already been shattered, but even so, an endless supply of energy was still repairing its body.
The broken heart, chest, and shoulders were repaired again with the continuous infusion of soul power.
However, there was another huge wound on his body, which was the wound on his shoulder that was just broken.
As his body was reshaped, Yan Luo's anger finally broke through the level 2 warning line.
Under the gaze of Xu Leguyin, Yan Luo let out a long roar toward the sky and began to actively absorb the red moon spirit floating in the air.
When Red Moon + Ancient Sound + Heart Energy are combined, a more powerful monster will be born.
This formula can also satisfy a level 5 Lord Monster.
Yama was lying on the ground, his body twitching.
The originally dim red moonlight seemed to become brighter because of its fiery red hair.
Xu Le, who was squatting under the water, had already seen that Yan Luo had completely sublimated his anger and became the medium for the fusion of Gu Yinduo and Hongyue's energies.
It's undergoing secondary distortion!
"He is distorting, stop him!" veteran Roning roared.
He wanted to move forward, but his huge body suddenly staggered and then fell to one knee on the ground.
Yan Luo absorbed more and more Moon Spirit, and his originally beastly face unexpectedly became gentle at this time.
Old Man Ge, the soul ferryman on the ghost ship, watched all this with a smile on his face. It seemed that the thing he was most looking forward to was about to happen.
But just when Yan Luo was about to break free from his restraints and evolve into a higher-level being again, some mixed filth suddenly flowed into his body along with the soul thread.
Yan Luo's expression froze for a moment, and his evolution also stopped.
His face, which had been gradually softening before, slowly twisted and his expression became ferocious again.
Then, an incredible scene appeared.
Something strange seemed to have mixed into Yan Luo's angry soul.
It lay on the ground, stuck out its tongue, and then touched its lower body.
But when it touched it, it found that it had no genitals.
It is a non-reproductive creature, a monster born of order and anger, it is an angry lawful being.
But for a lawful person to touch his crotch is extremely outrageous.
Yan Luo, who had been very angry all the time, now seemed to have lost some of his anger. His eyes were a little confused, as if he didn't understand.
It is clearly an asexual creature, so why does it have sexual impulses
Conversely, since it produces lustful impulses, why doesn't it have that thing
Normally, shouldn't all male creatures have it
Where does this emotion come from
Yama is sexless, so it is impossible for him to have lust.
It can only produce anger, fear, and release fear and anger.
However, the cramming injection of soul threads brought it something very special and pure.
Shattered zombie anima.
As everyone knows, Xu Le's mental energy is very limited, although he has been working hard to accumulate other types of mental energy.
But there is actually only one kind of mental energy that we are willing to use: lust.
All the monsters he summons essentially provide lust as their anima.
And it was because Yan Luo absorbed this lust that the secondary distortion was interrupted.
No one expected that a small episode would gradually cause a bug in a weird mutation, an error.
Xu Le seemed to have guessed this, so he lowered his head a little embarrassedly.
"Oops, I seem to have interrupted something important without realizing it..."
At this time, the soul ferryman who had been wandering around had also noticed that something was wrong with Yan Luo, and the expected secondary distortion did not occur.
He soon discovered the cause of the incident. Xu Le in the River of Souls... was not dead
How did he survive 20 minutes in the River of Souls
Shouldn't the resentment, anger, and fear around him have swallowed him up long ago
Even if his mind was extremely strong and would not be devoured by the mental energy, the corrosion of the River of Souls should have killed him in 20 minutes, right
Even if, even if... Well, even if he could rely on his psychic energy to resist this corrosion, he would still be drowned, right
Why didn't he die? Why did he release lust and disrupt the ceremony
jingle!
Followed by the sound of bells.
The ghost ship actually appeared above Xu Le.
With the appearance of this ghost ship, Xu Le discovered that the previously closed Soul Lake was actually opened, which meant that he could swim up at this time.
But just as he was about to swim up, the rough oars hit him.
"Gulu gurulu gurulu... you are gurgling..."
Xu Le was knocked into the depths of the river of soul.
The ferryman standing at the bow stretched out his hands, and with some inexplicable ancient power, he drove the soul river beneath his feet.
The vortex soul velvet thorn that was originally connected to Yan Luo suddenly broke.
The vortex turned sharply and began to extend deeper into the River of Souls.
As it rotated and stirred, Xu Le himself was dragged into a deeper area by this soul torrent. He wanted to struggle, but his current situation made it impossible for him to struggle.
The soul thorn slowly wrapped around his body, dragging Xu Le towards the endless depths.
He was getting farther and farther away from the lake, which was the ground, and his vision had become a little blurry.
Suddenly, Xu Le seemed to see Ai Li's figure.
When Xu Le saw Ai Li rushing towards Yan Luo with a mace in hand, he was sure that all this was true.
Is she here to find him? She can't beat Yan Luo...
The effect of underwater breathing is getting worse and worse. Xu Le already feels a strong sense of chest tightness. He needs to breathe normally. If this continues, he will really be dragged to death...
As he went deeper into the river, Xu Le also felt that the souls around him were becoming more and more powerful.
They were no longer afraid of him and gradually wrapped around his body. Some of them even began to try to penetrate his spiritual space and enter the world of the Soul Tree.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Xu Le asked himself twice. He had no answer once, and he had no answer the other time either.
As we fell, everything around us became darker and darker.
There was no idea what was in the deepest part of the River of Souls. In the endless darkness, he seemed to see something like eyes.
Is that the soul of some powerful monster? What kind of land is this
Suddenly, Xu Le felt a pain in his chest. The soul thorn that was dragging him actually pierced his skin. Was it trying to take over his body
Xu Le felt like he was about to die, he looked at the lustful tree branch in his spiritual space, this thing was the ancient Yinduo's mental energy core, he wanted to try to activate this thing so that he could possess the characteristics of the ancient Yinduo creature at this time.
In this way, he can absorb the surrounding souls through the effect of soul velvet thorns just like Yama.
But the lustful tree branch looked timid and submissive, just like an employee who was slacking off and didn't listen to orders at all.
"I'm almost dying, and you won't let me use it?"
In a critical moment, Xu Le suddenly felt a sense of comfort. It was the Soul Tree that actively absorbed all his anxious emotions.
Xu Le suddenly stopped struggling. He immersed his consciousness in the spiritual world and looked at the Tree of Souls quietly.
Before, Xu Le had been unable to figure out a problem.
Why when he was promoted to level 2, the heart energy he actively sublimated was fear, but he could never successfully form the core of fear, that is, the fear branch...
Even something like lust, which he despised, he could succeed in one go.
Why not fear
Thinking about it now, Xu Le felt that he had always overlooked one thing, that is, the Soul Tree itself!
It is something that has existed since Xu Le traveled through time.
Therefore, Xu Le never regarded the Soul Tree as a product that corresponded to the results of cultivation. Its existence was more like an extra talent, a golden finger, or a cheat.
Now imagine it the other way around. Is it possible that the Soul Tree itself is a kind of ancient multi-psychic energy core
It has fear as its root, from which everything grows.
So when I was forming the core of lust, the branches of lust grew out.
And because it itself is based on fear, it has never grown branches of fear.
Because the Tree of Souls itself represents fear!
Xu Le pondered for a while, but his ethereal state meant that the thinking time was not too long, only a few tenths of a second.
However, Xu Le himself felt that he had been thinking for a long time.
Xu Le stopped struggling and turned himself over, with his back facing up and face downward, and continued to go down in the river of souls.
Then, a small blue sapling poked out from the seventh vertebra behind Xu Le.
"If that is the reason, then... please absorb the soul and grow freely, Ancient Sound Multi-fruited Branch."
