Chapter 280 Skeleton City

The food in the underworld is naturally different from that in the human world.

However, because everyone came from the human world after death and is accustomed to the food of the human world, from the outside appearance, they still maintain the appearance of the human world.

However, whether it is rice or vegetables, they all add the negative energy that ghosts need to replenish.

Only after eating it can the energy needed by ghosts be replenished.

"Where is the Demon Lord's residence?"

Yun Mojiu looked at the ghost uncle.

"You don't want to go find that Demon Lord, do you?"

The ghost uncle frowned, obviously not wanting Yun Mojiu to go.

Yun Mojiu nodded without hesitation.

"The only clue I have at the moment is that the Demon Lord Jun Yan kidnapped the little princess of Fengdu City, and Shen Xin is the little princess of the underworld, so I must go there."

"But according to legend, the Demon Lord is domineering, murderous, and powerful enough that even the King of Hell can only fight him to a draw. If you go there rashly, it will be very dangerous."

"There are certainly risks, but if I don't try, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. I'd rather choose the former than the latter."

Yun Mojiu's eyes were firm.

A person has many choices in life, and she can certainly choose to keep herself out of it and leave.

But what she got in return was a guilty conscience for the rest of her life.

She is not the kind of person who would not save someone even though she knows where they might be.

Hearing this, the ghost uncle sighed softly.

"Since you insist on going, I will go with you."

“You don’t have to…”

Yun Mojiu was a little surprised.

But before she could finish her words, the ghost uncle raised his hand to stop her.

"The underworld is vast and full of dangers. Without someone to lead the way, you won't be able to reach the Demon Lord by yourself."

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Yun Mojiu blurted out.

This is the question she has always wanted to ask.

If he was just an ordinary ghost messenger, he shouldn't "meddle in other people's business" in the human world, but he did and saved her life.

This time too, why did he appear at her wedding by such a coincidence?

He even risked violating the law by bringing her, a mortal, into the underworld.

More importantly, the intimacy he gave her...

She had a guess in her mind that urgently needed to be verified.

After Yun Mojiu asked this question, she saw the ghost uncle and Aunt Lan, their eyes flashed slightly, and they looked at each other unconsciously.

This scene made her guess more certain.

"I just think you're a good match, there's nothing special about you."

Obviously, the ghost uncle did not tell the truth.

But the other party was unwilling to say, and Yun Mojiu didn't want to force him.

She also knew that what the ghost uncle said before made sense.

She was unfamiliar with the place. The layout and situation of the underworld were completely different from those of the human world. The forces were complicated and there were many dangerous secret realms. It was indeed difficult for her to reach the position of the Demon Lord alone.

So she nodded to the ghost uncle.

"Then...I'll leave it to you."

---

There is no distinction between day and night in the underworld; it is dark everywhere.

Only the bright moon in the sky illuminates the earth.

However, after getting used to this kind of environment, Yun Mojiu can see the things around him clearly.

She followed the ghost uncle and quickened her pace.

Except for the rest time in the middle, the rest of the time is spent on the road.

I don’t know how long it took, but the ghost uncle suddenly stopped.

He pointed to the mountain ahead, shrouded in a black fog.

"That is Skull Mountain, the location of the Demon Lord Jun Yan."

Hearing this, Yun Mojiu raised his eyebrows and looked over.

Among the rolling hills ahead, there is a towering mountain that looks like a straight sword.

Unlike other places, this mountain is surrounded by layers of black fog.

The black fog was like a giant dragon, circling around the mountains, mysterious and terrifying.

"I'm sorry."

Yun Mojiu lowered his eyes and whispered.

"What did you say?"

Before the ghost uncle could react, his body suddenly became unable to move.

"What did you do?" he said in a deep voice.

Yun Mojiu turned and looked at him, "Uncle, thank you for your help, but the road ahead is very dangerous, I must go alone."

"No, it's too dangerous! Let me go, I'll go with you." The uncle said anxiously.

Yun Mojiu shook his head. "I've already set up a formation before you came here. You'll be teleported back to the inn and will be unconscious for about a week. During this time, if I can save the two of you, I'll come back to find you. If I don't go back, don't risk coming to find me."

"No......"

The ghost uncle opened his eyes wide.

However, as soon as he said this, he felt his body being restrained by a powerful force.

He wanted to resist, but there was no way.

He was shocked. After such a short time, her strength had grown to such a terrifying level!

"Jiu'er, you must come back safely!"

He shouted a second before disappearing.

Yun Mojiu looked at the empty ground in shock.

The uncle called her...Jiu'er...

Could it be that he really is...

---

After becoming invisible and restraining his aura, Yun Mojiu continued to move towards Skull Mountain.

With a few leaps, she quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Only when she came here did she feel the thick aura of death around her.

She was about to slip away to the mountain, but she found that her magic power was ineffective!

She tried other places, but still couldn't use the teleportation talisman.

She frowned and looked towards the top of the mountain.

It seems that there are restrictions on this mountain.

There is no way to fly or teleport.

She came to the mountain gate obediently.

There, two little ghosts were guarding the door while dozing off.

Relying on the invisibility talisman and the breath-holding talisman on her body, she walked calmly past the two ghosts.

The two ghosts didn't notice anything.

She continued to walk up the rugged black stone mountain road.

As you walk, you can occasionally see human bones, skeletons, animal skeletons and other things on the roadside.

Only then did she understand why the mountain was called Skull Mountain.

Indeed...well-deserved.

The ghost uncle said before that this mountain was an ancient battlefield a long time ago, in the early days of the underworld.

The underworld at that time was not called the Hades.

In this area, wars would break out from time to time among the three realms of ghosts, demons, and humans.

The battle was horrific and the human world suffered heavy losses.

In the end, the demon world and the ghost world were left fighting each other, and the battle turned the world upside down.

In the end, it was the divine realm that intervened, eradicated the demons, and suppressed the ghost realm. They then separated out the current underworld area as a new space.

I don't know how long I walked along the mountain road, but I didn't encounter any ghosts during that time.

Finally, after she walked around a large black stone, she finally saw the ancient castle built with black stone on the hillside.

There are many ghost soldiers patrolling around the entire castle.

They were dressed in pitch-black uniforms and had serious expressions.

There were also many ghost soldiers in the blockhouse on the gate, looking down and ready for battle.

Yun Mojiu looked at the stone wall beside the castle gate.

On it, there are a few large characters written in a flamboyant style.

Skeleton City!
