Chapter 296: Strange Behavior, Nightmare Horse, Strange Netherworld, Ma Rufeng

Pulling open the shiny round door handle, the first thing that caught Yi Chen's eyes was an empty field, dark yellow, and gloomy.

A narrow path, only two horse butts wide, meandered into the distance.

In the distance there is a dark cloud.

A strange horse with a completely black body and a bunch of fluorescent purple hair on its head was snorting out of boredom. From its nostrils, a bunch of red sparks like those from burning firewood were splashed, mixed with a hint of stardust like the light of fireflies.

A bronze carriage lay quietly beside it, resembling the open-top chariot from the Warring States Period in Yi Chen's previous life.

Just as Yi Chen was looking at the so-called Nightmare Horse Hearse mentioned by the Lord of the Secret Gambling Hall, the strange black horse also looked at Yi Chen with wide eyes.

Before Yi Chen could say anything, he heard a voice suddenly resounding in his heart.

"I am Ma Rufeng from the Nightmare Spirit Horse Clan. Whether you want to go to the Rakshasa Country or not, two drops of gold essence will be enough."

"Aren't you the spirit horse raised by the master of the secret gambling hall? How dare you ask me for money? Do you want to eat horse meat hotpot?" Yi Chen looked surprised.

…. ….After a cup of tea, a strangely shaped bronze chariot rushed away into the distance, raising a large amount of dust.

At this moment, Yi Chen finally understood what this Nightmare Horse Hearse was all about.

It really wasn't something that belonged to the Lord of the Secret Gambling Palace, but rather a strange race on this land of the underworld. Of course, what the Nightmare Horse called it was the 'Boundless Land'.

The Nightmare Horse survives on this strange land by pulling carts to carry people and collecting rewards in exchange for resources for cultivation.

This time it was just that the Secret Gambling Palace happened to appear on the road it was galloping on, and it just took a short rest behind the Stone Palace.

Under Yi Chen's threat, the Nightmare Horse said bluntly that if anyone dared to kill it, his body would be stained with the scent of death that all the Nightmare Horses could smell. Not only would all the Nightmare Horses in the vast land not carry him in the future, but he might also incur revenge from the powerful elders of their own race.

In addition, the space in the wilderness will constantly change. Without the talents of the Nightmare Horse clan, it would be a big deal for ordinary people to enter the wilderness for the first time. If they get lost, it would be a big disaster.

Of course, in order to express his "admiration" for the strong, Ma Rufeng said that one drop of gold essence was enough for this journey, and he spoke a little loudly just now, for which he deeply apologized.

"Yiren, hold on tight, my Ma Rufeng is about to speed up."

Perhaps because he was frightened by Yi Chen's long spear before and felt embarrassed, Ma Rufeng began to transmit messages to Yi Chen again, and his speed even exceeded the speed of sound for a moment.

"Why do you call me an alien?" Yi Chen asked in surprise, holding the crossbeam of the carriage.

Telepathic communication can eliminate the barriers caused by language differences, so there is no problem in communication between Yi Chen and Ma Rufeng.

"Haha, people like you who come out of the temple are undoubtedly aliens. The races of our vast land dare not enter the temple without permission."

"Temple? How much do you know about the temple?" Hearing Ma Rufeng's address to the Secret Gambling Temple, Yi Chen couldn't help but become interested and wanted to explore what the strange races on this weird land knew about the underworld.

Unfortunately, even though Yi Chen tempted Ma Rufeng with ten drops of gold essence, saying that he would give him the bottle of gold essence in his hand as long as he could tell him valuable information, Ma Rufeng still couldn't explain it.

The same old story comes and goes: the history of the temple is very long, and the number of temples is quite large. It seems that the races on the vast earth do not have much curiosity about the existence of the underworld.

Originally, Yi Chen thought that Ma Rufeng was just trying to please him, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

When there are too many outrageous things happening in a strange place, it seems that having another so-called "temple" is meaningless.

In his perception, the straight road in front of him suddenly twisted and folded like a funhouse mirror, and Ma Rufeng began to move as if he was accustomed to it. His speed did not decrease at all, and he ran out of the distorted field in a twist and turn. The money Yichen spent was really not in vain.

"What a strange land and weird creatures." Yi Chen couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he watched Ma Rufeng's hooves flying and colorful sparks spewing out of his nostrils.

The strange Nightmare Horse in front of him was only at the late stage of the True Person Realm in his perception, but it had an amazing sense of space. According to it, there were some strange areas in the vast land that ordinary people could not find without the elders of their Nightmare Horse clan leading the way.

The scenery along the way was rapidly receding behind Yi Chen as if in rewind. Ma Rufeng began to run in a large S-shaped motion for seven times before stopping. According to him, that was the place where he had "passed seven rushes".

"Yiren, next we will be heading to the Burnt Sea. Please sit tight. I, Ma Rufeng, am about to take off."

After being quiet for a while, Ma Rufeng suddenly sent a message to Yi Chen.

"What is the Scorched Sea?"

"Next time you meet me, Ma Rufeng, on this route, remember to take my car. I still need a lot of gold essence and exotic metals to break through the green flame mane realm before I can reach the purple flame mane on my head."

"The Green Flame Mane of my Nightmare Horse Clan is what you foreigners call the Near Path to True Lord."

"Yiren, since you have no ill will towards me, I will tell you a piece of news for free. There was no scorched sea on this route a year ago."

"For some reason, the Lord of Luosha suddenly made great progress in his cultivation. When he fought a powerful enemy, he struck a narrow and long chasm in the sky, and the earth was scorched black. Therefore, I named it the Scorched Sea."

"Hehe, I know you definitely have bad intentions when you go to Luosha Country this time, but I still hope to see you walk out of Luosha Country alive. You Yiren are generous when you spend money."

As he spoke, a charred, narrow valley appeared in front of Yi Chen.

A lot of rainwater had accumulated in the valley, making it turbid.

"Wu~Take off!"

Accompanied by Ma Rufeng's excited roar, a black horse with purple mane pulling a bronze carriage leaped up in front of the canyon.

At this moment, Yi Chen's eyes were full of solemnity.

If this canyon was recently dug by the Lord of Rakshasa, then things are getting serious.

Judging from this, this Rakshasa King is actually as powerful as him, not to mention that he has the home advantage.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Interesting, but if your strength is equal to mine, then do you want to give up?"

“The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!”

"I want to see if there is really no chance."

The Lord of Rakshasa who pushed Zi Ling to the threshold of the interception made Yi Chen greedy at this moment, and his solemn face suddenly became indifferent.

"It seems that we really can't act recklessly this time. We need to think carefully."

…. ….An hour later, across a large area of ​​yellow mud, a huge black stone city appeared on the horizon.

"Stranger, we have arrived at the Rakshasa Kingdom. My horse is as fast as the wind." The Nightmare Horse grinned, and the purple flames on its head fluttered left and right.

Yi Chen separated out two drops of golden essence and threw them towards Ma Rufeng, who swallowed them in big gulps.

It was suddenly surprised and said, "Yiren, didn't you say one drop of golden essence? You threatened me with a weapon just for this before, why are you so generous now?"

Yi Chen, who had been walking forward, couldn't help but turn around when he heard this. He grinned, revealing eight big white teeth: "I don't need this little bit of gold essence. I can give it to you, but you can't take the initiative to ask for it! Do you understand?"

Ma Rufeng stared at the man in front of him who was as strong as a devil. At this moment, the moonlight cast a large shadow against his back. The strong wind on the ground made his robe dance violently, and his shadow twisted and swayed, making him look extremely hideous and terrifying.

"Haha, I'm just kidding you, Ma Rufeng. Just think of it as me wanting to see you turn the guy on your head into a cuckold as soon as possible."

"Next time we meet, I will ride in your car again. Thank you for your reminder!"

Yi Chen waved his hand, strode forward, said no more, and walked straight towards the black city in front.

There is no scorching sun in the underworld, but there is a March moon hanging high in the sky, casting a large area of ​​clear light.

Looking at Yi Chen's tall and strong back as he walked away, a thought suddenly came to Ma Rufeng's mind.

Perhaps something big is going to happen in Luosha Country! With this thought, it suddenly shuddered all over.

"This is none of my business. I, Ma Rufeng, only drive the cart and never meddle in other people's business. I'm going to leave now."

"Speaking of which, the aliens are still generous."

As his mind raced, the horse's hooves flew in the wind, and it snorted loudly, leaving a trail of sparks before it flew away behind it.

Oops, something unexpected happened. I can't finish the next chapter tonight. Let's post it together tomorrow. Wangzi will cut off about 300 words from the two chapters tomorrow to compensate. I am really sorry to all you Taoist friends.

The next chapter will be posted tomorrow afternoon. . . .
