Gray shrouded the sky and the earth.
It is different from the gray of the land of the gods, because there is still light in the land of the gods, but here, there is no light at all.
Gray, lifeless, lifeless.
"This is the land of the dead?!"
Ye Qi looked around - he could clearly feel that except for himself and his contract companions, there was no slight fluctuation here.
It's not that it's hidden, but it's not in the true sense.
After all, in the face of immortal-level [perception], it is difficult for even gods to hide.
"Well, to be precise, it is the only way to the land of the dead: the path of the dead!" Amon nodded, pointed to the depths of the fog that could not see the edge, and said: "Although that guy is a A lunatic, but it is undeniably a very powerful lunatic, so, for the sake of safety, it is better for us to enter the land of the dead through the normal way-it is the same as the spider underground; My own life and death, as long as there is enough 'interesting', 'worthy' and so on, I don't have to worry about it; so, I hate this kind of existence very much!"
"The Path of the Dead? Is it the place where souls pass through after death? But why are there no dead souls here?"
Ye Qi asked.
"That's right, this is where the souls of the dead pass; however, there is more than one path of the dead—you can imagine a huge cobweb, every point and every line on it is a passage, and it will eventually lead to The most central location: Land of the Dead!"
Amon explained.
"It's bigger than the main plane?"
Ye Qi was concerned with other issues.
"Of course—the Land of the Dead is a strange place. It seems that under the support of the World Tree, the main plane will keep getting bigger. This place will also grow bigger with the number of dead people... the infinite kind !" Amon gestured in two circles, "Simply put, this is the World Tree, and below it is the Land of the Dead—we live on the crown of the tree, but there are also some existences that must live on the roots of the tree; And usually, the root of the tree will never be smaller than the crown of the tree, or even exceed several times!"
"So where do we go now?"
Ye Qi nodded his head. Pointing around.
"Come with me! By the way, you'd better wear your hood, not only your breath, but also your face, it's best not to reveal it... For weapons, the thread of fate is enough! Spells, your long knife, Absolutely can not reveal!"
Amon reminded Ye Qi.
"I don't think I want to use a weapon after investing a lot of power of faith!"
Ye Qi's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
In fact. On the crystallization of the priesthood of the spindle, Ye Qi has already had a little harvest - after the huge power of faith was invested, a silk thread spread out from the originally empty spindle, which was not only crystal clear, but also extremely tough. At least after Ye Qi used Yan Mo Dao as a comparison, the former was not cut off.
As for some other functions, Ye Qi has not figured it out yet.
Of course, if possible, Ye Qi would rather the silk thread be on the spindle. Instead of being taken down and used as a weapon.
even though. Really easy to use.
Although I don't know why the system also counts it into the skill [Cold Weapon], but apart from the bonus of the skill, more is the function of the thread itself.
The body of the law was torn and cut, which is enough to explain everything.
"After investing a lot of power of faith, owning such a weapon is definitely worth the money!"
Amon replied with a smile.
Obviously, Amon knew enough about the [Thread of Destiny] in Ye Qi's hands, but apart from the name, he didn't tell his contractor anything more.
Apart from habit, it was more because of something... something he couldn't explain clearly.
After all, for Amon who was about to step into that level, some things have already been understood very thoroughly - and such a thoroughness allows him to understand what is good for his contractor and what is an obstacle; Like the existence that Ye Qi called 'soul space'.
If it weren't for Amon's use of some means, even with the help of Ye Qi's system, it would take a lot of effort to step into immortality in one step - at least, the demand for experience points would be increased by more than ten times.
Regarding this, Ye Qi already had a guess at this moment.
The higher his strength and the more he understands, the more Ye Qi knows his luck.
If it wasn't for the help of 'The Sun' and Amon, he wouldn't have entered the level of immortality so smoothly—and this undoubtedly deepened the trust between the two sides.
Therefore, shut up about Amon.
Although Ye Qi expressed dissatisfaction, he would never pursue it—he had both trust and personality; he was unwilling to force others, and he also did not want to be forced by others.
Conflict itself is part of life.
The mist changed from dense to thin, and then from thin to dense. After several times in a row, it finally dissipated. What appeared before Ye Qi made Ye Qi frown—the layers of bones seemed to be the cornerstone of the city. , piled up in front of Ye Qi, including human beings, alien races, and even some creatures that Ye Qi couldn't see at all.
A passage that can only accommodate two or three people appeared among the layers of bones.
"What is this place?"
Ye Qi asked.
"Skull Canyon, or the Land of Bones, it can be—it's made up of corpses that have lost their souls... Of course, most of them are the result of that guy's reckless actions!" Amon said this, very excited The corner of his mouth curled up in disdain, "I hate those lunatics who think they have created everything—they pretend to be artists, but they don't understand what art is at all!"
"I don't understand either; however, I can feel the negative energy in the canyon in front of me—so thick that it can instantly freeze existences below the Sun level!"
Ye Qi shook his head, he paid more attention to the strangeness of Skull Canyon in front of him.
"Actually. This is already the effect after weakening - when the guy was still normal, he went out to be extraordinary here. And beyond that, no other creatures can enter at all. Once they enter, they will be frozen; the soul Taken away, the corpse becomes the cornerstone of this Skull Canyon!"
Amon pointed to the highest places on both sides, the corpses that were not completely skeletalized.
"A natural gate?"
Ye Qi asked speculatively.
"Of course, and... there are guardians!"
Amon nodded, and at the same time looked to the distance - there. In Ye Qi's perception, several fluctuations are rapidly approaching.
"Get out your [Thread of Destiny], our puppies, always need some collars!"
Amon said with a chuckle.
Then, what he called 'the puppies' appeared.
There are five vicious dogs the size of an elephant, with ferocious sharp teeth exposed, and the fur on their bodies has long been mottled. Some of them even revealed their insides; of course, it wasn't flesh and blood or internal organs, but blood like magma—the thick sulfur smell told Ye Qi where these huge vicious dogs came from.
In fact, as a demon hunter, Ye Qi is no stranger to these 'dogs'.
Watchdogs of Hell!
but. But he never knew that in the age of wizards, these hell watchdogs also worked as gatekeepers of the land of the dead—
Ho ho ho!
woo woo woo...
A roar gushed out from the depths of his throat, in front of [Thread of Destiny]. It soon turned into a whine, and the huge figure crawled to the ground. He looked at Ye Qi full of pleading.
"Do you need a watchdog?"
Amon asked suddenly.
"Are they hired? I never knew they'd change doors!"
Ye Qi looked at the five huge hell dogs in front of him and asked - apart from being a 'watchman', the most famous of the hell dogs is their impressive fighting power, each of them is almost an extraordinary existence; however, more What made Ye Qi curious was that with the loyalty of the Cerberus, he would come to the Land of the Dead.
You must know that the loyalty of hell dogs is as famous as their identities.
They are the most loyal servants and followers.
"A dog is a good dog, but the owner... As long as you have strong strength, then you have enough chips—especially when facing hell, there is no need for a real battle, as long as you show your chips, You will be able to get everything you deserve; and you, now hold the [Thread of Destiny] in your hand, so you have the biggest bargaining chip!"
Amon shrugged.
"Do you need to sign a contract?"
Ye Qi asked.
"No need, [Thread of Destiny] itself can represent a contract, and it is above other contracts—although you can destroy other contracts placed on them at will, but I suggest that we do all this after we kill that guy !"
Amon reminded.
Then, without hesitation, Ye Qi took these five hellhounds as his watchdogs—five legendary creatures with extraordinary strength, which are absolutely rare for Ye Qi.
This is true whether in the age of wizards or in the age of freedom.
On the other hand, Amon watched quietly, without the slightest intention to stop him—just as he needed to obey God, his contractor also needed some followers.
Although there are already many 'candidates', in the real sense there are only those shadow creatures.
Since there are already shadow creatures, hell creatures are also possible.
Anyway, as a neutral person, I don't care.
"Where do we need to pass before we can reach the real land of the dead?"
Temporarily leaving the five hellhounds outside the Skull Canyon, Ye Qi and Amon walked side by side through the narrow and far-reaching Skull Canyon.
The stench from the tip of the nose made Ye Qi subconsciously want to cover his mouth and nose—the sharp and powerful perception is not all good.
"We still need to go through the river of oblivion, where we need to face some lackeys of that crazy guy!"
Amon introduced.
"A running dog? From God?!"
Ye Qi was taken aback, but he reacted the next moment.
"Plague, hunger, fear, famine... In short, the guys who can be related to death have become the lackeys of that guy-although they don't think so, but the fact is! Of course. The plague was killed by you, that guy It's the one I hate the most. As for the rest... I don't like it either!"
Amon spoke in detail.
"Killing those guys here won't arouse that guy's vigilance?"
Ye Qi frowned.
"Of course! So... go and attract that guy's lackeys, and at the same time attract that guy's attention!"
Amon smiled and proposed his plan.
"what are you doing?"
Ye Qi raised his eyebrows.
"Of course it's to help you, to give that guy a fatal blow! Don't forget, I'm still 'severely injured'. Do you think such a difficult task is suitable for me?"
Amon said as a matter of course.
"It's very suitable, at least I don't see where you are 'severely injured'!"
Ye Qi nodded solemnly.
"It was sealed for thousands of years. Then, after the seal was unsealed, the priesthood was divided into two, without the power of faith... Isn't my situation considered 'seriously unhealed'?"
Amon asked back.
Although it seems that such a rhetorical question is very reasonable, Ye Qi instinctively feels that there is something tricky in it. However, he couldn't find a flaw in it.
Therefore, Ye Qi was speechless.
In fact, even if Ye Qi had the words to respond, there was nothing to say—
"I'll leave it to you first!"
After leaving such a sentence, Amon just disappeared beside Ye Qi. And within the range of perception, there is no trace of the other party, which made Ye Qi understand that Amon's hiding is definitely not in the Land of the Dead, at least it is out of the range of the 'crystal-like wall' here.
Ye Qi frowned subconsciously, but. Before he could think, the mournful cry came from the front. Just let his attention be diverted—
At the end of the Skull Canyon, a lake-like River of Forgotten exists there forever.
A series of souls are either timid, reluctant, or persistent, unwilling to approach there.
However, under the absolute gap, they were thrown into it one by one by invisible big hands.
The clear water of the lake washes everything in these souls: worry, concern, longing, hatred... the endless variety, all turned into foam in this kind of washing, and then punctured.
Then, everything becomes nothingness.
Then, these souls were sucked up like feathers, and entered the huge floating island above the head—or in other words, the land of the dead.
The wall of unbelievers is standing in it, which is the best proof.
And the mourning and crying came from the souls above—they, they were nailed to that wall, and there was no blood flowing, but they still cried bitterly.
Ye Qi withdrew his gaze and looked around again—behind him was the canyon when he came. Of course, this is not the only entrance and exit of Skull Canyon.
In fact, in this place that looks like a huge basin.
Countless entrances and exits appeared between the piles of bones.
And those countless souls entered the river of oblivion through this—some were full of resentment, some were full of hatred, but most of them were confused and helpless.
Obviously, they, they didn't accept the fact that they were dead.
Compared with these ordinary souls, Ye Qi, who entered the River of Forgotten from the mouth of the canyon that should be 'abandoned' behind him, did not arouse the idea of other souls in the first place.
But over time.
The surrounding souls have all discovered this strange existence not far away.
Different from them, their grievances, hatred, and confusion, it is a 'person' wrapped in a black cloak, why is it called a 'person'
That's simply because, being the essence of souls, something special is given to them, to them.
Of course, the confirmation brought from the bottom of my heart is more of a sense of crisis—
Do not approach, it will be dangerous!
Similar information appeared in the consciousness of all the souls watching Ye Qi.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with such a consciousness; after all, as the 'sun', Ye Qi can be said to be a natural enemy to these souls.
However, the turmoil in the soul obviously attracted the attention of the 'managers'.
"Mortal, why did you come to the destination of death?"
Inside the pitch-black armor, the blue soul fire flowed uncontrollably, wantonly coming out from the gaps in the armor; and the aura that made any living being feel trembling made all living beings subconsciously deal with it. The existence in front of him, give way.
Of course, it doesn't include Ye Qi—
Roar!
In the dragon chant, the gigantic giant dragon phantom faced the fearful aura coming from the opposite side without giving in.
The endless dragon power, like the compressed magma in the ground, erupted instantly.
boom!
With a collision out of thin air, slight ripples appeared in the eternal lake of the Forgotten River, and those souls were blown away like grass.
Clang, clang, clang...
In the stampede between the metal armor and the ground, the 'fear' far exceeded the normal human body and began to retreat again and again. In the end, he had to spew out several high-concentration soul fires to stabilize his body.
And the surrounding souls, once contaminated by the scattered sparks, will immediately turn into nothingness and disappear without a trace.
It's just that 'fear' didn't care at all.
In fact, the reason why it still exists here is not to maintain the operation of this place, but its owner ordered it to stay here.
As for those souls
Sometimes, it doesn't mind tasting it.
Of course, these are not what 'Fear' is concerned about, it looked at the existence wrapped in layers in front of it, and roared—
"Dragonborn, do you think you can do whatever you want here?"
Accompanied by such a roar, two other armors similar to those supported by soul fire began to appear
Hunger, famine.
