In desperation, I quickly stepped forward and reached out to hold the stone tablet, hoping to prevent it from shattering.
But who would have thought that as soon as my hand touched it, the stone tablet completely fell apart and turned into pieces of gravel and rolled to the ground.
Now I was completely dumbfounded.
I didn't expect this thing to actually break.
In this case, the soul-suppressing stone tablet may no longer exist, right? Get a hammer here.
When I was stunned and at a loss, suddenly there was movement in the river in front of me.
Immediately afterwards, the river surged, and black shadows suddenly emerged directly from the water.
I was startled when I saw it. I quickly took a few steps back, and then stared at the figures emerging from the water with vigilance.
These figures were covered in black armor and held dark spears in their hands. They looked like ancient soldiers.
This is obviously different from the ghosts we encountered in the Deadwood Forest before.
I took a quick look and felt that these things must be real Yin soldiers.
Judging from this situation, the entrance to the underworld from Youdu Mountain should be this strange river.
I won’t say what the mystery is under the Yin River, but if these Yin soldiers can get out of this river, then this place must be the entrance to hell.
The soul-suppressing stone tablet is placed here, presumably to suppress the entrance to this hell.
I think this possibility should be very high.
But why did it suddenly break when I found it?
This just baffles me.
But what I have to face now is obviously not the question of why the soul-suppressing stone tablet was broken.
Because at this time, the Yin soldiers who emerged from the Yin River were already approaching me with spears.
I couldn't borrow magic power in a place like this, so I simply didn't use the talisman, but directly pulled out the stone sword from my waist.
This stone sword only needs to be driven by thoughts and does not need to borrow external magic power. It can be considered to be able to play its true role in a place like this.
I didn't wait for those Yin soldiers to get close, so I raised my hand and threw the stone sword in my hand.
After all, these guys all have spears in their hands, and they look very scary. If they come close and surprise me, I will be completely dead.
So in this case, you must keep a certain distance from them.
The stone sword flew out and pierced the forehead of one of the Yin soldiers in the blink of an eye.
Although he was covered in black iron armor and wore a black iron helmet on his head, he still could not block the edge of the stone sword.
The sword pierced his forehead, and the Yin soldier suddenly stiffened, then turned into a black energy and dissipated.
But the strange thing is that this thing didn't say a word, nor did it make any screams. It felt like a puppet and didn't know the pain at all.
I quickly raised my hand, and driven by my mind, the stone sword suddenly turned into a stream of light and flew towards the other Yin soldiers.
They are not exactly like puppets. At least they know how to raise their spears to resist.
But the stone sword was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, several more Yin soldiers were killed by the stone sword, turning into streaks of black energy and dissipating in the air.
This time the other Yin soldiers didn't come over, they just stood there and looked at me blankly.
I was originally here to find the soul-suppressing stone tablet, not to kill the Yin soldiers, so when they didn't rush forward, I didn't take any further action.
But now that the soul-crushing stone tablet has been broken, I don’t know what to do for a while.
If you just retreat like this, it will be equivalent to running in vain.
But if we continue to stay here and the stalemate continues, it seems to be meaningless. Anyway, there is definitely no chance of a second soul-crushing stone tablet.
Just when I was in a dilemma, Wang Xiaozhe and the others suddenly rushed over from behind.
Then when several people saw the scene in front of them, they were a little dumbfounded.
"It turns out that ghost flowers grow here."
Wang Xiaozhe said somewhat incredulously.
Then he quickly frowned and asked me.
"What's going on now?"
"The soul-suppressing stone tablet is broken."
I pointed to the pile of rubble in front of me, then looked at the Yin soldiers and said, "These guys came out of the river in front of me. They should be serious Yin soldiers. I guess the river in front of me is the entrance to hell."
When Wang Xiaozhe and the others heard this, they were all stunned.
After all, we came here specifically to find the soul-soothing stone tablet. Now that the soul-soothing stone tablet is suddenly broken like this, anyone else would be dumbfounded.
"This soul-suppressing stone tablet is erected on the bank of the Yin River. It has been corroded by Yin Qi all year round. It is understandable that the stone tablet is broken into pieces. However, the word "soul-suppressing" should still have a certain effect on suppressing ghosts."
Wang Xiaozhe said that he planned to go forward and take a look at the broken stones of the pile of stone tablets.
But as soon as he moved, those Yin soldiers immediately started to move again, standing directly in front of the pile of rubble, as if they would stab you with their spears if you dared to come forward.
Now Wang Xiaozhe didn't dare to rush forward rashly.
"Fellow Taoist, we can't borrow magic power here. Please cast the fire of hell again to disperse these evil soldiers so that I can go forward and look for the word "Zhenhun".
After a stalemate, Wang Xiaozhe quickly turned around and greeted Lin Ze.
But when Lin Ze heard this, his face immediately turned green.
"I have already used it once. This hellfire cannot be borrowed a second time in a short time."
Lin Ze said slightly embarrassed.
Although he said so, I guess it's not that he can't borrow it, but that he simply can't withstand the backlash of the hellfire again.
"Let me do it."
As I said that, I raised my hand again and threw out the stone sword in my hand.
But unexpectedly, this time when the Yin soldiers saw the stone sword thrown out, they all immediately turned around and jumped into the river with a "plop, plop", and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
This made me somewhat dumbfounded.
Obviously they are not really unconscious puppets. At least they have some intelligence, otherwise they would not just turn around and run away.
Although Wang Xiaozhe and the others were a little surprised, they didn't ask any more questions and hurried forward to dig through the pile of rubble.
When the gravel was pushed aside, you could see a pile of red powder under the gravel, which was formed after the word "Zhenhun" fell off the stone tablet just now.
Wang Xiaozhe quickly took out a piece of red cloth, collected all the red powder, and then wrapped it in the red cloth.
Then we left here quickly.
I don't know if this thing will work, but other than that, there is no other way now, I can only treat it like a dead horse.
But when we arrived at the group of tombstones outside, the entire ground suddenly began to tremble without warning.
Immediately afterwards, those densely packed tombs soon opened, and dry corpses crawled out of the tombs.
