As the Universe Turns - Chapter 922
Chapter 922 Nether Blood River
Why would there be such a strange dream …
Until now, Xiao Meng’er was still in a daze. At this moment, a trace of coldness suddenly came from her calf, causing her entire body to tremble. Looking closely, it was actually a black poisonous snake wrapped around her.
Because of her trembling, the poisonous snake also seemed to be shocked. Just as it was about to bite down, it was sliced into two by her sword.
The cold snake blood splashed onto her legs, causing her to frown. Looking at the dead venomous snake on the ground, she thought of Xiao Chen and felt even more disgusted.
Only then did she notice that the clothes on her body were scattered, and most of her skin was exposed. Most of it was the fragrance from her body that attracted the poisonous snake.
“Where is this place?”
Xiao Meng’er looked around. She remembered that she could have escaped from the Lotus Platform earlier, but was forcefully pulled back by a strange force from Xiao Chen. Furthermore, she clung onto herself tightly, tearing her clothes apart …
“Smelly hooligan …”
Thinking of the previous scene, Xiao Meng’er’s face was filled with embarrassment and anger. She gnashed her teeth in hatred. She was so big and had never suffered such humiliation before. That person looked at her well-dressed and dignified appearance. She didn’t expect to scratch her body randomly in the chaos. If it wasn’t for him, how could she have fallen into such a gloomy place …
The more Xiao Meng’er thought about it, the more disgusted she felt. She kicked away the dead snake on the ground and crouched down. She tore open the corner of her shattered clothes and wiped the snake blood off her legs. However, at this moment, a surge of Yin Qi suddenly enveloped the surroundings and immediately made her vigilant, “Who is this person?”
At this moment, she had already lifted up the Dust Heart Sword and the Unsullied Lotus Platform. Suddenly, countless ghosts appeared in all directions, densely packed and countless.
Xiao Meng’er felt her scalp go numb as she watched the sudden emergence of the ghost like a tide.
Seeing the ghosts rushing towards her, she could only see her hands continuously forming seals and muttering, “The heavens and earth are natural, the foul air is scattered, the mysteries in the cave, the shaking of Lang Tai Yuan … Punish evil-break!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Lotus Platform beneath her feet instantly shone brightly. Dazzling rays of light shone on the bodies of the yin spirits. They immediately emitted a “sizzling” sound like fried oil. White smoke emitted from the bodies of the yin spirits, and their appearances slowly became twisted and ferocious. They continuously let out shrill screams and dissipated completely.
However, this Evil Execution Technique consumed a lot of mana. Xiao Meng’er’s face had already turned pale after using it continuously. When she had just fallen, she was also greatly shocked. At this moment, her strength had yet to recover. How could she consume Genuine energy so much?
As she used up her magic power, the light emitted from the Lotus Platform gradually dimmed. However, those ghosts seemed endless, and they quickly surged up again.
“Shit …”
Xiao Meng’er thought to herself that things were not good. If she was at her peak, it would be easy to deal with these ghosts, but what should we do now …
…
Besides, Xiao Chen and Zi Yuan had walked for a long time, but they still didn’t know where this place was. Zi Yuan had injuries on her body, and her legs and feet were also inconvenient, so she could only walk with Xiao Chen’s help.
“I heard … the sound of running water coming from ahead? Did Excellency hear it?”
“There is a strange aura everywhere here … Be careful.”
Xiao Chen’s expression was solemn. He also heard the sound of flowing water. The further he went, the clearer his voice became. It was as if there was a river not far ahead.
At this moment, a strange fragrance suddenly floated in the air. Zi Yuan gently sniffed twice and immediately felt an indescribable peculiarity. She frowned and said, “What a rich fragrance of flowers …”
“Hold your breath, don’t smell it.”
Xiao Chen pressed down on her and saw a large patch of blood-red flowers suddenly appear on the road ahead. They were extremely similar to the Yellow Springs Flowers, but the difference was that these flowers were very alluring and emitted a strong fragrance …
“This is …”
Zi Yuan held her breath and muttered, “On the Nether Road, the Flower of the Other Shore …”
“Let’s go.”
The sudden appearance of these Paramita Flowers caused Xiao Chen to increase his vigilance. This place was extremely strange, and he must not be careless.
As Zi Yuan walked through the crimson blossoms on the other side of the river, she could not help but be stunned. The other side flower would only bloom in the Nether Realm. Could it be that Zi Yuan and His Excellency had actually fallen into the Nether Realm? This place was no longer a mortal world …
“Venerable … Excellency, there seems to be a river ahead.”
Slowly, a river appeared in front of them. Zi Yuan held Xiao Chen’s hand tighter and tighter. The two of them got closer and closer, and at the same time, they gradually smelled a nauseating odor.
Just now, the distance was too far, and this fishy breeze was covered by the strange fragrance of the Paramita Flower. When they approached, they discovered that the river was actually flowing with blood.
“Ah … this … this!”
Zi Yuan’s face immediately turned pale with fear. This river was not red water, but blood! The thick “river water” that was rolling was blood. That’s right, this fishy breeze was the smell of blood …
Looking at the bloody river and the pungent smell of the wind, Zi Yuan felt her stomach turn upside down and she was about to vomit.
“Pain, so painful …”
“So painful, so painful …”
“Don’t do anything evil, don’t do anything evil …”
“Ah, ah …”
At this moment, countless terrifying faces suddenly appeared in the river of blood. Those faces were hissing in pain, being swept up and down by the river water, but they were unable to escape.
“Then, that’s …”
Zi Yuan was even more frightened to the point of trembling slightly. Her body involuntarily trembled slightly. Could it be that this river was the legendary river of blood in the Nether Realm? All living beings would only be able to live again after being cleansed of their sins in their previous lives …
“Venerable, Excellency … we … why are we here …”
Zi Yuan’s face was deathly pale, and her words gradually became somewhat incoherent. She believed that what she saw in front of her was the truth, and that she believed that she was currently in the Nether Realm.
However, Xiao Chen did not believe it. He turned a blind eye to everything that was happening in front of him and said, “Go, continue forward. Walk along this river and you will always be able to get out.”
Hearing what he said, Zi Yuan felt a little relieved. However, her hands, which were tightly gripping his arm, had not let go. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen’s side. Suddenly, she felt that Excellency was not as cold as before …
The two of them walked for a long time, but this river seemed boundless and endless, never ending. The gloomy wind rustled, causing Zi Yuan to shiver. She whispered, “Your Excellency, why do I feel … we’ve been walking around all this time …”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen slowly stopped. It was as if he had sensed that this place was too strange. Even his divine sense was unable to detect it.
“Ah …”
Suddenly, Zi Yuan let out a small cry of alarm. Xiao Chen looked at her. Seeing her uneasy expression, he frowned and asked, “What happened to you?”
“Just now, just now, someone seemed to have hit me …”
Zi Yuan’s face was deathly pale. She held onto his arm tightly and looked around. However, there was no one around. Xiao Chen could not feel anyone nearby. After a moment of concentration, he said, “Let’s go.”
The two of them walked for a while. Not long after, Zi Yuan was hit by someone and her entire body trembled with fear, “Who! Who!”
At this time, she finally saw a red figure flash past her. It was a little girl dressed in red.
At this moment, her face turned pale from fear. Xiao Chen looked at her and asked with a frown, “What exactly did you see?”
Zi Yuan’s hands trembled slightly from fear. She looked at the darkness in front of her and said in a trembling voice, “I just … I just saw a little girl in red running over in front of me. On her back … there was a terrifying doll on her back.”
“What?”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, but he didn’t think that she would speak nonsense. He looked around and said in a solemn voice, “Which expert might as well show up?”
Zi Yuan held onto his arm tightly, her body trembling slightly. At this moment, a strange song came from far and near, “Red Flower, Red Moon, Horse Riding, Bridge Crossing, Uncle and Uncle are all dead, I will carry my brother to the bridge …”
Zi Yuan’s face turned pale from fear as she said in a trembling voice, “It’s that little girl in red …”
This time, Xiao Chen could hear it clearly. The voice was getting closer and closer. In the end, it sounded as if it was coming from behind the two of them.
The two of them immediately turned around, but there was nothing behind them. At this moment, the strange song sounded again, “Red Flower, Red Moon, Horse Riding, Crossing Bridge, Uncle and Uncle are all dead. I will carry my brother to the bridge …”
The two of them turned around and saw a little girl dressed in red running in front of them, singing a song as she ran. Behind her was a terrifying and strange doll.
When the song was finished, the little girl in red finally turned around and slowly waved to Xiao Chen and Zi Yuan, “Big brother, big sister, come …”
When Zi Yuan saw the strange look on the little girl’s face after she turned around, he was so scared that he put his head on Xiao Chen’s shoulder and said, “Wu … Excellency, I’m afraid …”
Xiao Chen looked at her. She didn’t expect that she wouldn’t be afraid of the heavens or the earth, nor would she secretly hide her wine and drink it. So the thing she was most afraid of was actually a ghost …
However, he did not believe that there were ghosts in this world. He said, “Go, follow her. Perhaps we can get out of here …”
Along the way, the little red-clothed girl walked in front, occasionally singing songs. Adding on the doll on her back, it was really strange and terrifying. Zi Yuan did not dare to look up to see her. After a long time, she followed her to a bridge.
“Big brother, big sister, come on …”
The little girl stood on the bridge and strangely waved her hand at them. Zi Yuan did not dare to go over, but Xiao Chen had nothing to fear. He took her feet and flew towards the bridge.
After crossing the bridge, the little girl in red immediately disappeared. The bridge also disappeared, and that strange song slowly sounded behind the two of them. Finally, it gradually disappeared.
“Let’s go.”
After crossing the bridge, another river of blood appeared not far away. However, this time, it seemed to be slightly different. Just as the two of them were approaching, the blood in the river suddenly rose by a foot in the flat ground. Immediately after, a sinister and terrifying voice came from the river.
“Hahaha, you really have some ability to come here. However, I seem to have already smelled it. It’s a delicious soul from the mortal world …”
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying ghost figure suddenly appeared in the river. His entire body was dripping with blood, and he looked extremely terrifying.
“I am the Blood River Ghost King. Mortals want to pass through this place, leaving behind a soul and a soul …”
The blood in the river suddenly surged. A nauseating odor blew towards his face. This time, it was no longer ghosts or ghosts that were causing trouble. This time, Xiao Chen could truly feel that the power emanating from the Blood River Ghost King was extremely terrifying.
