The Netherworld Gecko we just encountered can penetrate into people's bodies and attack people's sea of consciousness through fragments of resentment, which is already quite weird.
Unexpectedly, this hell dog is even more outrageous and can be resurrected indefinitely!
If so, wouldn't these vicious dogs be invincible?
While I was thinking about it, the vicious dog whose head had been cut off just now suddenly squatted on the ground and roared to the sky.
This seemed to be an attack signal, and the other hell dogs immediately arched their bodies and attacked us.
It seemed like these vicious dogs were determined to tear us into pieces.
At this point, we have no choice but to fight against the odds.
Several people looked at each other in tacit understanding, quickly stood together, formed a circle back to back, and faced the charging hell dogs, they took action instantly!
I took a deep breath, condensed runes in my palm, quickly spread to the King of Martial Whip, and smashed it hard at the hell dog that rushed towards me.
Bang, bang, bang!
Wherever King Wu's whip struck, golden talisman lights emitted, sweeping directly across the area and knocking away three hell dogs that were rushing toward him.
The Ma family's evil-suppressing runes have a strong suppressive power against evil spirits. As I fought hard, one of those hell dogs was knocked away.
Coupled with the cooperation of Lonnie and others, these hundreds of hell dogs were unable to attack at close range and were helpless against us for a while.
It's just that this situation didn't last long, and we gradually showed signs of fatigue.
Those hell dogs, no matter how much damage they receive, will recover as before and rejoin the attack on us in just a few seconds.
One of them was hit by me more than ten times, and its entire body was almost turned into a ball of meat. It still grew healthy limbs again, and it screamed and pounced towards me.
This is not the way to go. It won't be long before a few of us are probably eaten alive.
I gritted my teeth, condensed two thunder and fire talismans in my palm, aimed them at the center of the fierce dog, and threw them out suddenly.
Boom!
For a moment, golden light flashed, and the ground shook by the violent explosion trembled. More than a dozen hellhounds were blown to pieces, with their limbs broken and arms scattered all over the ground.
Even so, I still didn't dare to fight. I took advantage of the opportunity when the other fierce dogs didn't come back to their senses, and immediately shouted: "Retreat!"
A few of us ran away, heading out of the city.
The entire City of Rebirth is built on a slope. From the entrance to the exit, the terrain gradually decreases. It is said that if you keep walking along the exit, you will reach the underworld.
The fierce dog behind me was barking and chasing us. I didn't even look back, I just ran as fast as I could. After a while, two huge city gates appeared in front of me.
The city gate was open, and it was dark outside. Nothing could be seen, but the sound of running water could be vaguely heard.
Without any hesitation, we walked directly through the city gate and ran outside the City of Rebirth.
The barking of the fierce dogs behind me suddenly disappeared. I turned around and saw the vicious hell dogs squatting inside the city gate, staring at us and stopping to move forward.
It seems that this city gate is a boundary, which prevents these ferocious dogs from continuing to pursue.
Although we don’t know why these vicious dogs suddenly stopped chasing us, we were finally able to take a breather.
Several people squatted on the ground to rest for a while, and then continued to move forward, following the sound of water.
Master Hu San said that the unmarked direction is deep in the City of the Past. We basically walked around the city and found nothing.
This should be considered the deepest part of the City of the Past. If the character appears, it will most likely be in this area.
Soon, a wide river appeared in sight, lying in front of us.
The river is two hundred meters wide. The water is as black as splashed ink, with mist hanging on the surface. The black water rushes from an unknown end and passes right in front of us.
Faintly, screams of ghostly cries could be heard coming from under the water.
"Arrived at the River Styx."
Jing Jing said quietly: "There are all kinds of ghosts and ghosts in this river, so everyone should be careful."
In the beginning, in order to open up the relationship with Yincao, the wizard group had sent people to sneak into and outside the City of the Past many times to conduct investigations, so An Jingjing naturally knew more about the Styx than the rest of us.
It is said that the source of the River Styx is very deep underground, and no one can accurately tell where it originates.
After flowing out from the source, the Styx River gathered several tributaries, gradually forming this river that nourished the entire underground world. The Styx River flowed through the Yin Cao, directly to the City of Rebirth, and then disappeared at the junction of the Yin Cao and the Yang World.
"Look, what is that?"
I was listening to An Jingjing’s introduction to the River Styx when Lonnie suddenly pointed to the river in the distance and said loudly.
I followed what Lonnie was hoping for, and saw a faint golden light shining in the center of the river, which looked very abrupt in the middle of the black mist-filled Styx.
This is the area where no characters are most likely to appear. I don't want to let go of any possibility, so I just took a look at the black river and felt troubled for a moment.
This Styx River is more than two hundred meters wide, and there are countless evil souls under the water. How can we reach the center of the river and see the truth about that ray of golden light?
"Which of you can do anything?"
In desperation, I could only ask Bai Ze and the others for help.
But Jingjing walked directly to the edge of the river without saying a word, then squatted down and started groping in the black mud on the bank.
After groping for a while, it seemed that he found nothing, so An Jingjing stood up, walked more than ten meters away, and continued to fumble in the black mud.
I was full of curiosity and didn't know what she was doing. I was about to walk over and ask, when An Jingjing suddenly shouted: "Found it!"
We hurried over and saw a round black piece of wood in Jing Jing's hand.
This black wood is about the thickness of an arm and two meters long. It looks like a dead tree branch, and there is nothing special about it.
"Jingjing, what is this?"
Seeing An Jingjing's excited face, I couldn't help but asked curiously.
"This is the Black Soul Wood. With it, we can reach the center of the river."
An Jingjing said with a smile.
Immediately, she introduced us to the formation and function of this black soul wood.
According to the understanding of the Yin and Yang world, although the soul of the dead is separated from the body, it is only a special energy that cannot exist forever. It will still slowly dissipate in decades or hundreds of years.
Especially the dead souls in the River Styx, most of them are lonely wild ghosts. They can neither enter the underworld and be canonized, nor can they be reincarnated. They can only struggle in the rolling River Styx forever until they dissipate.
After some dead souls dissipate, the three souls and seven souls will turn into soul fragments and wander around. Under the erosion and pressure of the river, they will gradually accumulate to the riverside to form the black soul wood.
Strictly speaking, this black soul wood is formed by the accumulation of soul fragments of countless dead souls.
