thunder! It can conquer all things, especially evil things! The lethality of Leifa against them has been doubled. As soon as the master and apprentice exerted their strength, the black bugs suddenly "crackled" and continued to fall from the air. Some fell into the River Styx, and some fell directly onto the bone boat.
Even the giant face in mid-air began to distort. The giant dragon formed by green flames had been fighting with the giant face for a while. The dragon's body had shrunk significantly, and it was obvious that it could no longer hold on.
Cheng Ling swept his consciousness, pointed his fingers into the void, and purple lightning struck down, all hitting the giant face.
"Squeak~!"
The giant face let out a cry and was instantly split in half, leaving only a puff of black mist composed of black objects fleeing around.
Yang Hongqiu pointed out changes and once again strengthened the power grid coverage density on the skeleton ship. Those black bugs fell into pieces under the collision. Seeing this scene, the remaining black mist finally turned around and disappeared into the mist of the River Styx.
The Yin spirits let out a long breath. In a short period of time, there were less than a hundred Yin spirits left on the bone boat, and most of them were eaten up by black insects.
The boatmen looked at each other, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, slowly walked towards Cheng Ling and the others and asked, "Who are you?"
Cheng Ling said calmly: "It doesn't matter who we are. I just hope that the bone boat can continue to move forward and take us into the netherworld. You must have seen the situation in front of you. If we stand by and watch, you will all die!"
The Yin spirit was dissatisfied and said: "Even if we die, you will not be able to enter the Netherworld. Moreover, this is the middle section of the River Styx, so it is impossible to go back."
Cheng Ling was not in a hurry and said calmly: "So, I plan to cooperate with you. As long as it can bring us into the Netherworld, any conditions can be made!"
"What is your purpose in entering the Netherworld?"
"It's very simple. I just want to find a few herbs. Once I get them, I will leave!"
The Yin spirit was silent for a while, seeming to consider the credibility of Cheng Ling's words. Two other boatmen came up behind him and whispered a few words in his ear.
After a moment, the Yin Spirit said: "I can take you into the Netherworld, but you are human monks, so the cost of taking the bone boat will be at least ten times higher!"
Cheng Ling smiled slightly. Sure enough, money can make the world go round. These Yin spirits only see money in their eyes. That is not the simplest thing.
He took out a storage ring and said with a smile: "The fairy crystal in this storage ring should be enough to pay for the ship fare of three people like me. Can you help me exchange the rest for ghost stones?"
The Yin spirit stretched out his hand to take it, and when he looked inside, he suddenly started to tremble. Not only him, but the two Yin spirits behind him also trembled slightly. There are too many fairylands, at least 100 million! After deducting the shipping fee, there are still more than 90 million left. How can they get so many ghost stones?
The Yin spirit in front smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, we can't exchange for so many ghost stones!"
Cheng Ling smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just give me as much as you have, and the rest can be regarded as my personal gift!"
He knew that these Yin spirits must be at the bottom of the Netherworld and have low net worth, otherwise they would not do this kind of job of driving bone ships. Moreover, a lot of the shipping money recovered cannot go into their pockets and still needs to be handed over. What the three of them can get is not much.
When the three Yin spirits saw that he was so righteous, their attitudes immediately changed. He said: "Thank you so much. These bone chairs are very uncomfortable to sit on. Please follow me into the box and rest!"
have to! With the benefits, even private rooms have been opened.
The three of them naturally agreed. There were corpses of insects everywhere on the deck, and they looked a little disgusting, so they didn't want to stay any longer.
After following one of the Yin spirits for a while, I came to the second floor of the bone ship and saw a private room as expected. After the Yin spirit led them in diligently, he said: "You three, have a good rest, I won't disturb you!"
Cheng Ling hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't asked my Taoist friends for their names yet. Cheng Ling, please feel free to enlighten me on some questions!"
After saying that, another ring was thrown over.
The Yin spirit was so excited that it almost shook, and its transparent body swayed. Cheng Ling was still afraid that the other party would disappear.
Yin Ling said: "I am the captain of this bone ship. You can just call me Rakshasa!"
"Oh? It turns out to be fellow Rakshasa Daoist. May I ask how long it will take for the bone boat to enter the Netherworld?"
"Well! If everything goes well, we will be able to enter the entrance to the Netherworld in about three months."
"Okay! Cheng wants to find some herbs. Do you know the whereabouts of the Resurrection Grass, Yin Yang Grass, and Six Paths of Reincarnation Fruit?"
"Oh!" Rakshasa breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party really came to look for herbs. He then said: "The three herbs mentioned by Brother Cheng are very precious. As far as I know, the Resurrection Grass has appeared in the underworld, the Yin-Yang Grass has appeared in the hell world, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fruit may only be the legendary Ghost Emperor." Only then did we know their whereabouts.”
Cheng Ling was shocked, Ghost Emperor? It seems that he doesn't have to count on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fruit. It doesn't take anyone guessing to know that with his current strength, he is no match for the Ghost Emperor. He still has to focus on the Resurrection Grass and Yin Yang Grass.
He then asked: "Then how to enter the underworld and hell?"
"Although the underworld and hell have different names, they are parallel interfaces. They are separated by the largest sea of ghosts in the underworld, and the distance is very far. However, the River Styx runs through the entire underworld. If you have the patience to keep going upstream, , it can be reached after all.”
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Cheng Ling's forehead. How long would it take to navigate the largest sea of ghosts in the Netherworld? He then asked: "After entering the Netherworld, how long does it take to sail to reach these two places?"
"The Underworld Realm is closest to the intersection of Netherworld. After Brother Cheng enters, you can see many islands and continents in the north. There is the Fengdu Continent, which is where the Underworld Realm is. As for the Hell Realm, it will take at least ten more kilometers to sail at the speed of a bone ship. It will take years to arrive.”
Cheng Ling gasped, the distance was too far. He asked doubtfully: "Is this planet so big?"
Rakshasa explained: "Brother Cheng, you misunderstood. The Nether World is not on the planet, but a vast interface. The planet we are on is just a connection point between the spiritual world and the Nether World. After entering the Nether World, It’s another interface.”
Cheng Ling was stunned, but soon became worried again, and asked: "Then how should we leave and return the same way?"
Rakshasa explained: "This is a method. If you go down the River Styx, the time will be reduced by half. But the interface between the Netherworld and your human habitation has more than one connection point. There are corresponding connection points in the underworld and hell. Connection points exist, and you can leave from those places too!”
"Where exactly is it?"
"It's hard to say this. Some connection points were randomly replaced, and I can't tell the specific locations."
Cheng Ling was puzzled and murmured: "Looking at it this way, it's better to go back the way we came!"
Rakshasa said: "Brother Cheng, I advise you not to do this. Whether it is the Fengdu Continent where the underworld is located, or the Netherworld Continent where the hell is located, it is easy to enter, but difficult to get out."
"For example, you need to pass a roulette wheel to enter the Fengdu Continent from the Styx River. You don't know where you will be teleported. It is basically impossible to find the connection between the Styx River and the Fengdu Continent."
Cheng Ling was startled and asked, "So it's impossible for the three of us to teleport to the same place?"
"That's not true. The wheel is divided into twelve areas. For the twelve hours in the human world, as long as the three of you stand in the same area, the teleported positions will not be too far apart."
Only then did Cheng Ling feel relieved. The three of them knew nothing about the Netherworld. If they were scattered in various places, Su Yi might not have any problems, but Yang Hongqiu was in trouble. His soul gradually weakened and there was no constant replenishment of souls. In the end, Still have to be replaced by the remnant soul.
He added: "Fellow Rakshasa, I have another question. Where can I collect powerful living souls in Fengdu Continent?"
Rakshasa was startled, looked at Cheng Ling cautiously, and almost ran away. With the combat prowess they had shown before, especially the thunder spells, he was no match for them at all. He could be captured and his soul was extracted and refined in a matter of minutes!
Cheng Ling smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had frightened others, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, we won't take action against you. It's just that the master's soul has been severely damaged and needs to be sacrificed and refining to make up for it. This is why he ask."
Rakshasa immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Fengdu Continent is where the underworld is located, and the underworld's duty is to communicate with yin and yang. Therefore, there are many souls there, but you can't just kidnap them, as that will attract the attention of the underworld's high-level officials."
"However, there are many ways to obtain living souls. The first one is to become a ghost in the underworld and obtain souls by capturing escaped ghosts; the other is a bit dangerous, which requires entering the depths of the underworld and facing Endless soul attacks!"
"How many souls are there in the underworld?"
"There are so many that I can't even count them. They are many times more numerous than the undead under the waters of the Styx!"
Cheng Ling nodded slowly, and finally had some outlines in his mind. The Netherworld was vast and vast, and he no longer had to blind his eyes like before. As long as he finds a way to enter Fengdu Continent, find the whereabouts of the Resurrection Grass, he will leave immediately.
At least with their current cultivation, the core of the Netherworld is not something they can touch.
Seeing Cheng Ling's silence, Rakshasa knew that the other party's problems were almost over and left.
Cheng Ling felt grateful and gave him some fairy crystals before letting him leave.
At this point, the journey ahead became easier. Cheng Ling paid attention to Yang Hongqiu's condition every day. Unfortunately, there had been no replenishment of souls for several months, and the situation was not optimistic. If it hadn't been for two soul-reviving pills every day, I believe that the remaining soul would have been swallowed up long ago.
In this way, her soul is still weakening. Cheng Ling was so anxious that he asked Rakshasa to speed up several times. Of course, there were a lot of immortal crystal plugs. With a lot of money to clear the way, Rakshasa compressed the original three-month voyage to two months.
As the bone ship roared, they finally saw the dark continent ahead, the Netherworld, and finally arrived!
