Chapter 1763: City of the Dead
According to Xia Xiaochan’s description, this city of the dead should be the place where a king died.
As for sacrificing souls? The more Han Fei listened, the more he felt that it was a fantasy. He always felt that there was nothing good about sacrificing…
The sacrifice on the Steps into the Sea could basically be equivalent to a summoning ritual to summon the corresponding creatures.
The sacrificial technique that Yu Wendao invented was meant to possess others’ bodies.
The King of the City of the Dead must have been forced too much back then and desperately needed power… That was why he sacrificed himself.
Han Fei said, “Doesn’t it mean that… the king’s corpse might still be in the dangerous place?”
Xia Xiaochan said, “I’m not sure. I brought a lot of treasures and multiple king-level strikes. I just want to see if the king’s corpse is still there. If it is, I can rob him of his treasures and my trip to the Land of King Death will be complete.”
Han Fei said, “It’s been tens of thousands of years. It might have been s.n.a.t.c.hed away long ago… Although people don’t dare to go to the forbidden places, they definitely dare explore the City of the Dead? I don’t think there’s much hope. However, we can find the keys to the Monarch Palace.”
Buzz!
Han Fei frowned, and Little Black and Little White appeared.
Xia Xiaochan’s eyes lit up in surprise. “Is this… Little White? Wow, she becomes so beautiful.”
Little Black and Little White were more intelligent now and could speak.
When Little White saw Xia Xiaochan, she rubbed her head against Xia Xiaochan. “Mommy~”
“Uh ~”
Xia Xiaochan blushed and looked at Han Fei reproachfully. “What did you teach her… Little White can talk now? Where’s Little Black?”
Xia Xiaochan knew that Han Fei had an invisible black fish.
Therefore, she hugged Little White affectionately and immediately looked around, but she didn’t see anything.
“Mommy ~”
It wasn’t until Little Black b.u.mped Xia Xiaochan’s shoulder with his head that Xia Xiaochan was shocked to find that she had to check this s.p.a.ce with her perception to vaguely sense a pure invisible s.p.a.ce.
She couldn’t even see the black… It was as if something that didn’t exist existed beside her.
Han Fei touched Little White’s head and said, “Daughter, do you see anything like the stone you found just now?”
With that, Han Fei took out the black origin magnet.
Xia Xiaochan asked in surprise, “You’ve found a key?”
Han Fei spread his hands and said, “I picked it up by accident. I was too lucky. There was nothing I could do.”
At this moment, the Hexagon Starfish came over and hurriedly said, “This is not a good thing. It’s said that the Monarch Palace is very dangerous. Only one out of ten people can survive from it.”
Han Fei rolled his eyes at the Hexagon Starfish. “You have to work hard to make a breakthrough. We’re definitely going to the Monarch Palace. We’re not afraid… It’s almost certain that you’ll become a Half-King. However, you’re only an intermediate peak-level Venerable now. Even a worm might kill you there.”
“That’s terrible.”
The Hexagon Starfish raised his claws and covered his eyes, as if he couldn’t imagine what would happen to him when he got there.
The Hexagon Starfish thought, No, Han Fei is still too fierce.
This guy used to be fierce. Now that he was so strong, he was even fiercer.
This time, now that Xia Xiaochan had met him, she definitely wouldn’t go back to the mermaid royal family. Then, from what he knew of Han Fei, he would probably go to the Monarch Palace!
“No, I can’t die. I have to break through to the peak of the Venerable realm…”
…
This underground palace was already dilapidated. After being bombarded by Han Fei and the others, it had almost been turned into a wasteland.
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan followed Little White hand in hand.
Soon, they found a tower-shaped building that had not been completely destroyed.
Han Fei was very sensitive to arrays. Soon, he discovered that there were some Dao patterns engraved on these stones.
Yes, Han Fei saw the extremely rare Dao pattern again.
Looking at the lines, Han Fei knew that each line was an array. Although there weren’t many lines on the tower-shaped stone, there were more than 20 lines.
This meant that this array was formed by more than 20 arrays.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, who would look for a big stone lying on the ground in the ruins? Even if someone was rummaging through the ruins, it would be a problem if he could recognize the Dao patterns…
Even if he recognized it, the Dao patterns were not so easy to crack.
Han Fei didn’t learn the Universal Dao Patterns for nothing.
Han Fei pointed at the air and drew more than 20 times in a row. The power of the soul rumbled, which surprised Xia Xiaochan. Han Fei had become so powerful! She had never seen such a thing before, but he could easily draw it?
Buzz!
When the void array and the array on the stone matched, a blue spiral ripple shone.
Han Fei grabbed Xia Xiaochan, their figures twisted and the two of them disappeared into the ruins.
Swish ~
When Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan appeared in a humid s.p.a.ce, Han Fei knew that he had opened another small world.
This was a small city.
The layout of the town was open, and there were no unusually tall buildings here. It looked like a village. The roads here extended in all directions. Although most of them were broken and there were big pits in many places, some of the roads were still intact.
The two of them released their perception almost at the same time.
To their surprise, this place would not hinder their perception.
Therefore, the two of them soon realized that something was wrong. In this small world that was less than 800 kilometers long, there was a graveyard full of corpses.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
The two wheels let out a ferocious trembling sound as they darted at them.
Xia Xiaochan and Han Fei turned their heads at the same time, and Han Fei grabbed the round wheel.
Xia Xiaochan simply disappeared.
On a road a hundred kilometers away from Han Fei, a corpse stood up unsteadily.
Of course, at this moment, Xia Xiaochan had already slashed 17 or 18 times. Every slash was like a thread of light. When Xia Xiaochan stopped, the corpse had already been broken into pieces.
Han Fei grabbed the wheel, shattered the Qi and blood on it, and slashed at the graveyard.
Halfway through, another corpse that had just gotten up tried to block, but it was cut in half.
Han Fei stepped into the air and came to Xia Xiaochan.
At this moment, the two of them frowned, because the corpse that had been cut into 50 or 60 pieces by Xia Xiaochan could still recombine? Its body parts were gathering together.
Master Hexagon shouted, “What the h.e.l.l is this? It can’t be killed! Han Fei, squeeze it to death…”
Han Fei, however, didn’t move at all. He just said indifferently, “Before this corpse died, it should have been in the Venerable realm. Now, it’s actually rotten, but it was resurrected by some power…”
In Han Fei’s heart, the old turtle said, “They are undead creatures.”
Han Fei was stunned and quickly replied, “Aren’t undead creatures still rational and have memories? These are clearly dead people. How can they be undead creatures?”
The old turtle explained, “Some people become undead creatures through normal means. They specialize in this Dao and try to achieve immortality through this method. However, some people are not. After they die, some of their souls are forcibly absorbed and become a part of other people’s power. As for the remaining corpses, because some of their souls are absorbed, they become walking dead. Of course, as long as the supply of death energy to their remnant souls is cut off, they can be killed.”
Han Fei looked at the corpse and saw a layer of blue light on it. Then he found that there were some soul fires in its eyes.
Roar!
Han Fei roared and the Hundred Beast Soul Devouring Roar destroyed the last wisp of soul on the corpse.
The half-rea.s.sembled corpse collapsed. This time, it couldn’t stand up again.
Xia Xiaochan also knew how to kill this kind of corpse.
However, the two of them looked at the cemetery hundreds of kilometers away and saw a man wearing armor and holding a long sword. His body emitted a monstrous death aura.
From afar, Han Fei heard a voice echoing in the void. “Die together, die together, die together…”
Xia Xiaochan was shocked. “Is that… the corpse of a king?”
Swish ~
The man instantly appeared in front of Han Fei, and the sword shadow in his hand had already fallen from the sky with endless death energy.
Clang!
Han Fei had been through countless battles.
The moment the man attacked, Han Fei’s Embroidery Needle had already appeared in his hand. He knocked on the Heaven Gate and jumped into the sky.
Bang!
Under this blow, Han Fei retreated more than a thousand meters, which made him heave a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this king had just become a king and died. His current strength was not any better than an ordinary king. In fact, he was even weaker than the White Armor Emperor.
Han Fei said, “Girl.”
Little Black and Little White rushed out. Xia Xiaochan knew what Han Fei meant.
Xia Xiaochan had just learned that Han Fei could block a king. Now, since Han Fei still had strength, he would let her deal with the remaining corpses and find treasures.
However, when Xia Xiaochan rushed over, she found that there were more than a thousand corpses here.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
“Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!”
Xia Xiaochan was like an agile elf in the forest, twisting and turning among the countless corpses at an extremely fast speed. Every time the dagger slashed, several corpses would be cut into pieces.
At this moment, Xia Xiaochan didn’t feel danger, but excitement.
After more than twenty years, the two of them joined forces again, as powerful as before.
