"This is the well of death. Most of the remains in it are leftovers from previous wars or bandits who died at sea. I am Du Ren, and I was a general during my lifetime. I will guard this place to restrain evil spirits and control the corpses so as not to harm the world. "The corpse stood on the boat and glanced around.
"Why are there so many Yin corpses gathered here?" Wu Gen looked at the thousands of corpses around him and felt a little dazed for a moment.
Du Ren knocked lightly with the handle of the knife, and the bottom of the boat suddenly became transparent. Through his feet, Wu Gen could see that at the bottom of the well, there was a dense mist of death, like tide and smoke, which had become a reality.
"The reason why this place has become like this can be said to be caused by both natural and man-made disasters. This place is originally a place for raising corpses, collecting yin and gathering spirits. In addition, it is right in the middle of Tianyuan Continent and Kuntian Continent. Several battles took place here. This expansion is why there are so many Inferi.
In addition, there are countless disembodied souls sealed here. They are nourished by the death energy and can survive without being destroyed by the sun and wind.
No strangers can stay here. If you enter rashly, you will soon die and become undead. In all these years, you are the first person to come here as a stranger. "Du Ren held a long knife in his hand, his eyes dark.
After feeling his body, Wu Gen didn't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, when the death energy in the well reached his side, he hurriedly left and surrounded him, just like a soldier seeing a general.
"Senior Du, why did you invite me here?" Wu Gen felt relieved and asked.
"Don't you think you are more suitable for this place?" The blue fire in Du Ren's eyes seemed to be able to see through Wu Gen's body. "The moment you stepped into the sea of blood, the undead here have been restless."
Stomping his feet lightly, the boat continued to fall downwards, "The purity of the death energy in your body can be said to be unmatched by any undead soul in the dead well, and it naturally suppresses all spirits. The reason why I went to sea to find you here is because You are better suited to control these undead than I am.”
Wu Gen heard something from the other party's words: "But there is something strange happening here."
"Exactly." Du Ren sighed with emotion, "With more people, there is more right and wrong, and with more ghosts, so is it. Over the years, as the number of undead has increased, the death energy in the well of death has been unable to meet the needs, so there are many fights in the well. If this continues, there will inevitably be constant disputes in this place. If it is destroyed, and if there are undead souls wandering around the world, it will inevitably be another disaster."
Wu Gen looked around at the Dead Well on the boat with his hands behind his back, and smiled slightly, "Senior, do you want me to help solve this hidden worry?"
"Yes, I have been living here for a long time, and I have lost my willpower, so I thought of borrowing some external strength. I finally found someone who is not afraid of death, so naturally I don't want to let him go. Just now outside the well, you entered the sea of consciousness. Understand the soul song. Soul song is of great benefit to the soul, and these undead souls will get close to you invisibly.
In addition, if the soul song is cultivated to a deep level, it can even transform the souls of the dead, preventing these resentful spirits from lingering in the world for a long time.
You are still young, and I can tell that over time, your cultivation on the soul path will be far better than mine, and you will naturally be more suitable to stay here. "Du Ren looked directly at Wu Gen, and a rotten aura rushed to his face.
Wu Gen couldn't help but laugh, "Senior, you are joking. As you said, I am still young, how can I be willing to leave the colorful world behind. If I live here for a long time, maybe I will become the evil one who has the most resentment and wants to lead the rebellion. spirit.
But since senior has come over, I naturally can't ignore him. In fact, it is not difficult to solve the hidden worries here. Isn't it just that there are more wolves and less meat, and I want to have fewer undead.
If possible, you can release some to fight with others. In this way, part of it will naturally be consumed and the consumption of death energy will be reduced. In addition, after the boy's soul song is completed, he will find a way to help the seniors redeem some of them. In this way, the death energy should be able to support the remaining undead. "
The blue flames in Du Ren's eyes danced, and he looked at Wu Gen with a knife in his arms, "These undead souls managed to survive with great difficulty, but you want them to fight with others and end up in a state of disarray, but you are a little bit vicious."
Wu Gen sneered again and again, "Senior, that's ridiculous. Since ancient times, the world has gone through so many wars. Not to mention the human race and alien races, even within the human race, there have been raging wars, and countless people have died. In the final analysis, it's not that the world's products are not enough. All the people needed it, so they had no choice but to choose this cruel method.
The same is true in this well of death. After countless years of accumulation, it has become overwhelmed. I can predict that no matter how strong the predecessor is, sooner or later he will be swallowed up by these undead souls that are waiting to be fed. When the well collapses and the souls are scattered, they will all be harmed by the hypocrisy of the predecessors. I think it would be better for the predecessors to change their names and call them Du E. "
Hearing Wu Gen's harsh words, Du Ren was not angry. He thought for a moment and then said: "This is also a way, but there must be a leader. He cannot be let out to harm the world at will."
Wu Gen took a step forward and pointed his thumb at himself, "If senior can rest assured and leave this matter to me, I am willing to be the person in charge. I am the only one who is born to suppress these undead souls."
Moreover, if any of these undead souls are successful in cultivation, I can also give them a share of good fortune and live forever in heaven and earth. "
After hearing Wu Gen's promise, Du Ren did not reply. He was silent for a moment and said without comment: "Come with me and see what you will lead in the future. If you cannot control them, it may backfire on you."
The boat then fell, and the surrounding area gradually became narrower. The further down they go, the more powerful the aura of these corpses becomes. Their dark eye sockets stare at Wu Gen, with ghostly fire flickering from time to time.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared above the boat. This is a two-foot-tall skeleton with sharp bone spurs on its body. Under the green light, it looks even more ferocious.
The skeleton opened its mouth silently, as if mocking Wu Gen's weakness. Du Ren raised his head and glanced, then flicked the handle of the knife with his finger. The long knife was slightly exposed, and a sharp sword energy burst out, pointing directly at the skeleton.
Wu Gen narrowed his eyes slightly, and Du Ren saw that he only made one blow, but four knife marks appeared on the skeleton, both arms and legs were severed, and only the body fell into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, Du Ren was able to control the sword with such precision and ease. There is no big opening or closing, but making fuss about small areas. It can be said that this technique is a shortcut, which is an eye-opener for Wu Gen, who prides himself on being good at swordsmanship.
The skeleton was not seriously injured. It hurriedly rushed to its own limbs, hurriedly connected them to the body, and escaped towards the well wall in the distance.
"These were either fierce soldiers or thieves in life, and they are still unruly and unruly after death. If you don't suppress them with force, let alone the commander, you will be lucky not to eat you alive." Du Ren's voice sounded.
Wu Gen looked at the densely packed corpses around him and felt convinced.
"I have four subordinates, named Qiu Bo, Zhang Yun, Wang Kang, and Zhao Qi. They usually suppress the spirits and guard the dead well for me. If they are willing, they can form a team to follow you out of the well to fight." Du Ren continued. road.
"Oh, where are the four of you?" Wu Gen suddenly became interested.
"We're here." The boat stopped.
Wu Gen looked up and looked around. Compared with the place he just passed by, the conditions here seemed to be worse. On the wall of the well, red cold flames were blazing, and some scattered bones were burning like firewood in the fire. On the wall of the well, a tall skeleton was hanging high, obviously being punished.
"Come out and meet the guests." Du Ren shouted in a low voice.
After waiting for a moment, a tall figure walked out from behind the flames in front of Wu Gen. He had two horns on his head and the body of a tiger. He dragged a long iron chain in his hand, and a huge hammer was tied at the end.
"This is Uncle Qiu."
Immediately behind Wu Gen, another corpse appeared. It was three feet long and had a long tailbone trailing behind it. When it passed the skeleton hanging on the wall, the tailbone was swept away and the skeleton shattered.
"His name is Zhang Yun."
Two more corpses came out one after another, one with nine heads hanging around his neck and a steel fork in his hand. The other one has the appearance of a stranger, his body has not been lost, his face is handsome, but he has the appearance of a scholar.
"This is Wang Kang and Zhao Qi."
"General, you called me out just for this weakling. The meat tastes quite good, but it's just too thin and not enough to fit between my teeth." A rough voice came, and Uncle Qiu's mouth and nose Breathing flames, he stared at Wu Gen fiercely.
Du Ren didn't say anything, but took a step back, letting Wu Gen face Uncle Qiu directly.
Wu Gen understood in his heart that this was Du Ren's intention to test his quality. Whether he could control these four people would depend on his ability.
To be honest, along the way, Wu Gen was attracted by this huge power. If he could use it for his own use, even one tenth of it would be a terrifying force.
Wu Gen knew that Du Ren was able to bring him here because of the inexplicable death energy in his body and the soul song that the spirits flocked to. Apart from these two things, I really thought that this undead soul who had been in the world for who knows how many years would look at me seriously.
Likewise, if the four fierce generals under him had no means of suppression, let alone using them for their own purposes, it would be a question of whether they would be able to get out of here today. After thinking this, Wu Gen took a deep breath, hesitating in his heart whether to release the death energy that he had finally suppressed.
"Boy, let's talk about you. Otherwise, Mr. Qiu will grant you death today and stay here. I won't be in a good mood and will give you a good seat." Uncle Qiu took a heavy step forward, and the water in the well suddenly surged. Even the lantern on the bow was shaking.
"Are you talking about me? There are no rules. Your generals treat each other with courtesy, but it's not your servant's turn to act wildly." Wu Gen looked at Uncle Qiu coldly, with dense black lines on his face.
His eyes were frighteningly cold, a pair of emotionless black pupils, extremely pure and black, like the deepest cave, which seemed to be able to swallow everything in the world, not even light could escape from it.
Wu Gen slowly raised his head, black energy billowing all over his body, like black flames beating.
The well gradually became colder, and the red flames around it had already retracted into the wall. Even though the well was full of dead Inferi, they still felt the cold and the smell of death at this time.
This kind of coldness penetrates deep into the soul. This is the real death.
Wu Gen raised his head high and looked at Uncle Qiu expressionlessly. The death energy in his body was still gushing out and spreading towards the well.
Du Ren stood stiffly on the bow of the boat, the light of the lantern gradually dimming. He knew that Wu Gen had a supernatural power, but he didn't expect that this power would be so terrifying after it was released.
Compared with the pure death energy in Wu Gen's body, the death energy in the cave is like a mortal seeing a god and witnessing another level of life, unable to resist at all.
Moreover, as soon as these pure death energy came out, the death intention contained in the undead in the cave continued to pass away like a sheep seeing a wolf, and dispersed in all directions, so much so that Du Ren felt that his cultivation was rapidly weakening.
If this continues, I'm afraid all the undead here will disappear and truly become a dead place.
"That's enough." Du Ren shouted softly.
Wu Gen turned his head and glanced at Du Ren indifferently. Du Ren's heart trembled and he had to turn his head and no longer look into Wu Gen's eyes.
Wu Gen looked at Uncle Qiu and said, "Please follow me."
Uncle Qiu's face was twisted for a while, and the flames in his mouth and nose were flickering, and he stared at Wu Gen.
"You have some courage." The black energy behind Wu Gen rolled upwards and turned into a giant hand, covering Uncle Qiu's head. Uncle Qiu raised his head and shouted, intending to resist, but his body seemed to be frozen and unable to move. The giant hand fell slowly. Uncle Qiu looked up in horror, his body shaking like chaff.
At the moment when the giant hand was about to touch his horn, the man shouted: "I am willing to obey you." With that, he made a plop and knelt down on one knee.
"What about you?" Wu Gen looked around, and the other three nodded silently.
"Very good. When I return here, I will lead you to the earth, let the blood stain the earth red, and reap the death you desire."
