In the center of the Underworld Palace, there is a huge bluestone square surrounded by high palace walls.
The square is wide and flat. A stone path carved with dragons and phoenixes leads from the gate of the palace wall to the center of the square.
At the center of the square, the stone path suddenly became steep, passed through thousands of stone steps, and continued to extend upwards until it reached the inside of a resplendent and resplendent hall.
The hall is 100 meters high and magnificent. Hundreds of huge golden columns stand in the hall, supporting the weight of the hall.
At the southern end of the main hall, there is a huge golden dragon chair.
Two rows of steel puppets wearing thick armor, holding steel spears, were neatly distributed on both sides of the dragon chair, their faces filled with fear.
This is the Golden Palace of the Underworld, the most dangerous place in the Underworld Palace, and the place where the undead are densest.
Huangquan Golden Palace is composed of three main halls, the middle one is the main hall.
Shihu, the number one ominous spirit in the underground palace, usually sits on the dragon chair in the main hall, giving orders to the undead.
There is a side hall on the left and right sides of the main hall.
At this time, Shihu was in the side hall on the left.
The atmosphere in the side hall was extremely strange.
In the entire large side hall, there is a layer of dark red mist floating, and the thick smell of blood fills every corner of the side hall, making people want to vomit.
But for the undead in the temple, this smell is full of incomparable temptation.
The mist and bloody smell came from a rectangular pool of blood in the center of the side hall.
The blood in the blood pool was as thick as mucus, and the blood boiled, and the boiling blood brought the minced meat and bones at the bottom of the pool to the surface from time to time.
The side hall was very quiet, so when the blood boiled in the pool of blood, the sound of purring was clearly audible.
Although the blood in the blood pool is already very viscous.
However, there are still some translucent Yin spirits, holding large buckets, floating in from outside the Huangquan Golden Palace, pouring buckets of blood into the blood pool.
An undead wrapped in thick armor stood by the pool of blood, staring at the pool of blood, the blue flames in his eyes beating from time to time.
This undead was quite burly, and exuded an invisible majesty and strong evil spirit from his body, which made people frightened.
Even those ghosts are far away from this undead, try not to let yourself get too close.
A group of skeleton mages wearing black robes and holding magic wands surrounded the blood pool with a strange magic circle.
They waved the magic wands in their hands and chanted strange notes in their mouths, as if they were holding some kind of mysterious ceremony.
As the skeleton mage's chanting sound became more and more urgent, the blood in the blood pool boiled more and more intensely.
At this time, a black-robed skeleton mage in the lead came out, bowed to the armored undead, and said, "Master, the Huangquan Blood Soul Formation has been fully activated. You can enter the blood pool now."
Shi Hu said coldly: "Is the spiritual power in the blood pool enough?"
The skeleton mage replied respectfully: "The flesh and blood of the monsters in the underground palace provided enough spiritual power for the blood pool. The spiritual power of the blood pool has reached saturation. It is absolutely guaranteed that the rebirth ceremony will be successfully completed.
After the ceremony is completed, not only will your strength increase greatly, but you will also be able to have a perfect physical body! "
"If Li Ju is really like that, I will reward you well."
Shi Hu nodded slightly, and then a thick black air floated out from the armor and fell into the pool of blood.
The heavy armor fell to the ground with a dull crashing sound.
The moment Shi Hu plunged into the blood pool, the blood in the blood pool burst violently, making a crackling sound, wrapping Shi Hu in it.
The blood in the blood pool began to decrease rapidly, as if being sucked by a black hole.
However, a semicircular blood bubble began to slowly expand in the blood pool.
The leader of the skeleton mage named Li Ju quickly waved the claws of the skeleton, hoarsely, and said loudly: "Chant the spell, pour blood!"
Those skeleton mages immediately chanted the incantation loudly with louder and more rapid tones.
And those Yin spirits transported the flesh and blood of monsters from outside the Golden Palace at a faster speed and poured them into the blood pool to replenish the absorbed and evaporated blood.
The dark red blood mist in the side hall became thicker, and the smell of blood became more pungent.
The blood in the blood pool is constantly decreasing and being replenished, maintaining a certain level.
After a whole day like this, the blood bubbles in the blood pool have swelled several times.
And all the blood stored in advance was used up, and the Yin spirits had no more blood to replenish.
"Master Li Ju, we don't have any fresh flesh and blood anymore!" A ghost rushed to the leader of the skeleton mage and screamed, "What should we do now?"
Li Ju stared at the blood bubble for a long while before saying: "There is no need for blood anymore. The ceremony is about to be completed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood bubble suddenly burst, blood splashed everywhere, and a gust of wind, with a powerful and extremely powerful evil spirit, rushed straight out of the blood bubble, and shocked the exhausted skeleton mages all around. fall.
Even Li Ju, the leader of the mage, was forced to stand unsteadily by this evil spirit, and flew back a long way before falling heavily to the ground.
When the strong wind subsided, a burly middle-aged man appeared in front of Li Ju's eyes.
This middle-aged man has a bald head and a very sharp facial contour, as if cut by a knife.
His skin is dark and shiny, and his muscles are tangled. It seems that every inch of muscle contains explosive power.
Li Ju fell to the ground, stared blankly at the middle-aged man for a while, and then shouted excitedly: "Master! Master Shihu! It's a success! You have finally reshaped your body! Your current appearance is completely different from yours. The times are exactly the same!"
Shi Hu stretched out his arms, looked at his body carefully, then raised his head and laughed wildly: "I like this physical body very much! My wish for hundreds of years has finally come true today!"
"Congratulations, master! Congratulations to master! With this body, master will surely be able to sweep away all the strong men in the underground palace and dominate the entire Underworld Palace! Even if in the future, the Netherworld Realm detects that you are in the Underworld Palace, you will send a bull-headed horse to capture you. Your strength and influence are enough to repel them!"
Shi Hu laughed loudly and said, "That's right! As long as I dominate the underground palace, even if the bull's head and horse face come in person, I will not be afraid! Li Ju, let me tell you, the Huangquan Blood Soul Formation not only restored my physical body, but also restored my cultivation. Because, I have broken through the integration period and reached the tribulation transition period!"
"The master has entered the period of crossing the catastrophe!" The flames in Li Ju's eyes jumped suddenly, and he said in surprise, "Then you don't have to be afraid, you have a bull's head and a horse's face. With your great wisdom, if you practice for a while, you may be able to ascend Become a fairy, enter the world of immortals and demons!"
Shi Hu snorted coldly and said, "What's the point of ascension to immortality? Even if I can ascend to immortality, I will not enter the world of immortals and demons. I want to stay in the underground palace of Huangquan, and kill all the monsters and undead in the underground palace. Gather them under your command. Then lead them, enter the underworld, kill Yan Luo, and become the master of the underworld! At that time, I will make you the judge of the underworld and control the life and death of the world. What do you think?"
"Thank you, master! I, Li Ju, am willing to be the master, and I will go through fire and water, and I will not say anything!" Li Ju quickly laid the entire skeleton on the ground, and thanked him repeatedly.
"Master, now that you have recovered your physical body and your cultivation has greatly increased, what are your plans for the next step?"
"Plan?" Shi Hu showed a cruel smile on his face, "What do you think I should have planned?"
Li Ju lay on the ground, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Master, are you planning to attack the demon tribe?"
"That's right." Shi Hu said coldly, "In this underground palace, the only ones who can threaten me are the group of demon spirits from the Demon Spirit Tribe. Especially the leader Meitian, we must get rid of them as soon as possible! Watching him, when he was exhausted, a sneak attack succeeded, and he was severely injured. Even with my current strength, I am far from being an opponent! So we have to strike first, and attack when his strength has not recovered, otherwise, we will Killed by him!"
"Master is wise!" Li Ju flattered quickly, "Then when do you plan to do it?"
"Now!" After Shi Hu finished speaking, he put on his armor again, and strode outside the Golden Palace.
Li Ju quickly got up from the ground and followed behind Shi Hu.
Shi Hu came to the main hall of Huangquan Golden Temple, and then ordered all the undead under his command to gather in the square.
With Shi Hu's order, all kinds of ferocious and bloodthirsty undead, such as steel puppets, skeletons, ghosts, flying-headed barbarians, gathered in the square from all directions.
Looking around, there is a dense mass of darkness, and the number is probably tens of thousands!
"Follow me to conquer the tribe of demon spirits! Tear them up and eat them up!" Standing on the high golden palace, Shi Hu gave an order to his undead.
Those undead screamed excitedly when they heard that they could taste fresh flesh and blood.
All kinds of hissing sounds, one after another, were extremely ear-piercing.
Shihu's toes were a little on the ground, and he flew into the air and flew in the direction of the demon spirit tribe.
Behind him is the mighty army of undead, following closely.
Just when Shi Hu led the undead army to attack the demon tribe.
Zhao Rui and Dun Che were setting off from the Yaoling Tribe to the Golden Temple of Huangquan.
It's just because there are many forks in the underground palace of Huangquan, like a maze, they didn't meet the army of undead led by Shi Hu.
Rather just miss it.
When they arrived at Huangquan Golden Palace, the entire Golden Palace was empty, like a ghost land.
The two searched the Huangquan Golden Palace inside and out, but they didn't even find a ghost, let alone Shihu.
"Huh? Where did Shihu go?" Dunche scratched his head in a strange way.
Zhao Rui came to the blood pool in the side hall, looked at the blood pool that had dried up, thoughtfully.
"We came a step late. The mysterious ceremony held by Shihu has been completed. He has now led all the undead and left the Golden Temple of Huangquan."
"Leave Huangquan Golden Palace? Then where will they go?"
Zhao Rui said slowly: "If I'm not wrong, they have only one goal, and that is the demon tribe!"
