Behind the bronze door on the far left is not a passage, but a gray area.
When passing through the bronze door just now, there was a feeling of traveling through time. Zhou Qing seriously suspected that although it was only a distance of one step, there was actually some kind of spatial change, and the actual moving distance was not short.
"earth?"
Lu Yuanyuan made a surprised sound.
They saw that the ground under their feet was not bluestone or jade, but mud.
The smell of the soil was clearly audible and extremely obvious, telling Zhou Qing and the others that this was real.
The environment here is very strange. The small space where Zhou Qing and the others are located is "clean", and a few feet away, there is a white light, and they are in the white light.
Outside the white light, there is a gray world with thick fog that blocks all vision.
The white light blocks the fog, but it does not block out the sound.
Zhou Qing could even hear the sound of the wind in the gray fog, and even some meaningless whimpers from unknown creatures, as well as occasional whistles and howls.
Inexplicably, it feels a bit eerie and scary.
When I turned around, the door I came in through had disappeared.
"If my previous memories were erased and I were to appear here directly, I would probably not think that this place is actually inside a temple."
Zhou Qing looked at the gray fog outside the white light for a while, then turned to look at Shi Yi.
"Junior Brother Shi, do you know anything about this place?"
"This should be the land of gray fog."
After he finished speaking, Shi Yi seemed to realize that what he said was the same as not saying anything, and hurriedly added: "There are many places like this in the ancient temples of the underworld. The gray fog is full of dangers. Ghosts, zombies and other filthy creatures of the underworld may appear, and they are all very difficult to deal with."
"Ghosts, zombies?"
When Zhou Qing heard these two words, he couldn't help laughing.
To him, even puppets and wild beasts are more difficult to deal with than ghosts and zombies.
Compared with his initial caution, Zhou Qing now suddenly felt relaxed.
He felt that the second level of the Ancient Temple might be easier than he had imagined.
Is the land of gray fog the home of dark creatures?
Wrong, this is actually my home turf! "Also, once we enter the gray fog, our perception abilities will be suppressed to the lowest level. Compared to being able to perceive freely outside, it's not an exaggeration to say that we've become blind."
Shi Yi added: "So after entering the gray fog, everyone must be careful and try not to get separated."
"Other people who enter this door will also appear here, but their starting point is different from ours. We will most likely meet them later."
Lu Yuanyuan asked: "Then how do we leave here?"
"In every temple, as long as this gray fog appears, there will generally be a Dark Lord."
"The King of the Underworld is guarding the exit to the next area. You can leave after killing it."
"There are treasures in the gray fog, but apart from the fact that the King of the Underworld is definitely guarding a treasure, the special environment of the gray fog means that if you want to find treasures in it, most of the time you can only rely on luck."
"There is no specific information about the location of the King of the Underworld. We can only slowly look for it..."
Shi Yi told all the information he knew.
Zhou Qing pressed his brows and said:
"In short, when exploring this gray foggy land, the most important thing is luck..."
“It’s actually quite simple when you put it that way.”
Ao Xuanwei's shocking words made Zhou Qing and the others look at her.
"Do you have a solution?"
"I can't do it, but you can."
Ao Xuanwei smiled and said, "In terms of luck, I have great confidence in you."
Murong Yanran and the others all laughed when they heard this.
"Yes, I almost forgot that Senior Brother is a man of extraordinary luck."
Lu Yuanyuan clapped her hands.
"That's settled."
"Stop teasing me."
Zhou Qing smiled helplessly, "I don't have any luck."
It’s just that I use the time others spend drinking tea to practice. It all depends on my own efforts!
The five people left the protection of the white light and walked into the gray fog.
A chilly, gloomy, and icy feeling immediately came over, instantly lowering the temperature of the skin and giving people a sense of the atmosphere full of malice.
This fog was not ordinary fog. With Zhou Qing and the others' cultivation level, visibility was very low when they walked in the fog.
But there is still soil under my feet. This is definitely an illusion.
What is the origin of this Hades Ancient Temple...
After walking in the fog for a while, Zhou Qing suddenly said, "Everyone, there is good news and bad news."
"Um?"
The others were stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhou Qing meant by suddenly doing this.
"The bad news is, I stepped on a guy and crushed his hand, and the good news is, that guy wasn't one of us."
As Zhou Qing spoke, he slowly lowered his head.
The others immediately reacted to what Zhou Qing was saying.
They stepped on a person, but that person was not one of them. In this gray fog, there was only one possibility! They lowered their heads instantly and saw Zhou Qing's foot firmly stepping on an arm that was a mixture of black, purple and blue. The five fingers had black nails like steel. The nails were very long, as long as the whole palm.
This arm stretched out from the soil. It had been crushed by Zhou Qing, but it was still moving. At the same time, another arm that looked abnormal also stretched out from the soil and grabbed Zhou Qing's legs, as if trying to move his legs away.
"Zombies!"
Shi Yi was startled, and saw Zhou Qing bending down and reaching out his hand, with a layer of colorful halo covering his hand, and he directly pinched the good hand of the underground zombie.
"roar!"
A dull roar was heard. Although it was separated by the earth, one could still hear its pain.
Zhou Qing exerted force and pulled the zombie out of the ground.
Like to reach out?
Come out!
A hideous zombie with most of its body purple appeared in front of everyone, and then there was a flash of sword, and Zhou Qing directly cut the corpse in half.
The colorful righteous energy raged in his body, and as it evaporated, the corpse disappeared and turned into a purple zombie comparable to the marrow cleansing stage, and its life ended in just a few breaths.
Lu Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Qing with a strange expression and asked, "Brother, how can you remain so calm after something like this happened?"
A purple zombie was nothing to them, but Zhou Qing was able to joke with them calmly after stepping on a purple zombie. Wasn't he a little too calm...
"Because I love zombies so deeply."
Zhou Qing said seriously: "You don't know, I almost became the leader of the Tianshi Sect, so when I see these little cuties, my heart is very calm."
In fact, Zhou Qing had already noticed the movement of the purple zombie, and when it stretched out its hand, he accurately suppressed it.
With the righteous spirit, such a purple zombie was too easy for Zhou Qing to deal with and could not cause any trouble.
"The Heavenly Corpse Sect? Never heard of it?"
"Oh, I had an enemy called the Earth Corpse Sect before. When I faced them, I made up a Heaven Corpse Sect and said I was from there. After all, I was out in the world and my identity was given by myself."
Zhou Qing replied: "At the beginning, I almost founded the Tianshi Sect because of a single thought."
Under such circumstances, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Qing saying that he almost became the leader of the Tianshi Sect.
These words made Lu Yuanyuan laugh, but when she thought of the power Zhou Qing had just used, she was secretly surprised.
She knew some of the situation in advance, but she was still surprised when this scene appeared before her eyes.
This senior brother discovered by Uncle Lu is truly mysterious and unpredictable, he is simply inhuman.
Not only is his cultivation speed incredibly fast, his strength is also extremely amazing. And in other aspects as well... I really don't know how to describe it in words.
Murong Yanran looked at Zhou Qing deeply, with shock flashing in her eyes, and then she said meaningfully: "Junior brother really has many tricks. With you here, the dangers of this gray fog land are nothing."
Zhou Qing smiled, "With the five of us working together, the danger here is nothing."
"That was... the noble energy just now?"
Shi Yi was surprised and said, "Brother actually has such a method."
"It was just a fluke."
Zhou Qing said modestly: "It was an accident that I gained this power."
Shi Yi said with emotion: "If I had met you before my senior brother joined Xuandu Temple, I would have definitely thought that you were from the All Saints Academy, and a direct descendant at that."
In the Academy of All Saints, not every disciple can comprehend the Great Qi. This power is not common. Anyone who can comprehend it is the pride of the Academy of All Saints.
"It is rare in the world to comprehend the righteousness without relying on the inheritance of the All Saints Academy. There are only a few of them in history. If the All Saints Academy knew about it, they would probably take the initiative to guide you. You are really talented. I admire you."
Shi Yi really admired him from the bottom of his heart. He was convinced. He was really convinced.
Zhou Qing said it was luck and an accident, but Shi Yi and the others would definitely not take it seriously.
There is no such thing as luck in this matter.
This new senior brother might be more suitable to practice in the Academy of All Saints.
Uh, Shi Yi thought of Zhou Qing’s performance in the competition for the position of true disciple.
It seems that going to Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is also suitable?
"All Saints College and the like are too far away."
Zhou Qing shook his head, "I just hope this power can help us in this gray fog."
If he used Haoran Qi in front of other people, he would definitely be recognized. After all, the people present were of high status and had broad knowledge, so they would not be unaware of this.
But it doesn’t matter. This kind of power is not something shameful. On the contrary, it is a kind of righteous power that is deeply respected and trusted.
It is actually a good thing to show your righteousness in front of righteous people.
Keep moving forward. There is actually no direction here. You can only keep going forward in one direction.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Evil ghosts screamed, zombies roared, and dark creatures kept attacking Zhou Qing and his friends. Although they were easily defeated, they were persistent and very tenacious.
But as they encountered more and more attacks, they discovered a problem.
Ao Xuanwei looked at Zhou Qing, "These dark creatures seem to be coming for you?"
Lu Yuanyuan had an expression that said, "I feel the same way."
"Yes, every time they attack us, Senior Brother is their main target. Sometimes they even ignore our attacks and attack Senior Brother."
"And the frequency of these dark creatures appearing is increasing."
Zhou Qing pondered, scanning the gray fog, and realized how different he was from the other four people...
"Because of the Haoran Qi, this gray fog land is targeting me?"
"That's probably the reason."
Murong Yanran nodded, "Haoran Qi is extremely effective in restraining these dark things, so they will naturally want to eliminate their nemesis."
From the types of monsters contained in the gray fog land, it can be seen what kind of place this is. Even the forbidden formations here tend to be in the underworld.
When Zhou Qing entered here, it was like a dot of white suddenly appeared in the darkness. It had not yet been assimilated, and was like a bright light at night, extremely conspicuous.
Normal Yin and Ming creatures are afraid of the Haoran Qi and generally will not approach it actively.
But this is the Hades Temple, which is obviously abnormal.
“This is actually an opportunity for us.”
Zhou Qing said, looking in one direction, "I noticed that in the past few days, the number of enemies appearing from this direction was the largest, and their strength was also the strongest."
"So you think that the Dark King might be in this direction?"
Shi Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately said:
"It is very likely that the King of the Underworld is usually surrounded by many Underworld creatures. The area where he is located has the most concentrated Underworld energy, which is a treasure land of the Underworld. It will naturally attract other Underworld creatures to approach!"
"Then let's go this way."
Several people made a prompt decision and headed straight towards the direction where the most enemies were.
A true warrior, who dares to face the fiercest enemy! The five of them walked in the gray fog, and it was really easy along the way.
With the help of the seven-colored Haoran Qi, the strength of these attacking Yin and Ming creatures was greatly reduced. They were no match for Zhou Qing and the other four people in the first place. After their strength was greatly reduced, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables for them.
I really met my nemesis.
While walking, Zhou Qing and his companions naturally discovered some treasures, all of which were of high quality. The lowest one was also the best among the Holy Marrow Washing Treasures.
Two more treasures that can be used in condensation and dispersion were discovered, so a total of six related treasures were obtained.
No wonder when they heard the news that the Ancient Temple of the Underworld was about to be born, Lu Yuanyuan and the others had the idea of coming here to explore.
Compared to outside, it is indeed easier to obtain condensed treasures here.
"call!"
The thick corpse gas surged like ocean waves, and its terrifying power even caused the gray fog to stagnate.
A zombie with light red hair all over its body is being besieged by Zhou Qing and his gang. Fierce attacks keep falling on the red-haired zombie, but its body is extremely hard and can withstand the attacks from five people.
But the damage is also increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
A type of zombie, a hairless walking corpse, with white, green, black, purple and red colors.
The red zombie is a divine corpse comparable to the Yin God’s True Blood Realm!
This is the obstacle that Zhou Qing and his companions encountered on their way to pursue the King of the Underworld. It was a red zombie whose strength was almost the same as that of a Venerable in the Original Blood Stage.
This is not the King of the Underworld. There is no exit or valuable treasure around it.
But what this fact represents is actually much more terrifying.
A divine corpse of this strength is not the King of the Underworld. The strength of that king is estimated to be extremely astonishing.
The colorful and majestic aura was extremely brilliant, dispelling all negative and strange auras, enveloping the red-haired god's corpse, constantly corroding it and causing it the heaviest damage.
Although the realm gap was quite large and the effect of the Haoran Qi was greatly weakened, Zhou Qing and his men were, after all, carrying out a just beating.
To be honest, any one of them could deal with this divine corpse on their own.
Now we have the help of the noble spirit and we are under siege...
If there is a zombie protection association, this red-haired guy will definitely file a complaint.
I am not a human, but these five are really not human either! Needless to say, the defeat of the red-haired boy was doomed the moment it appeared in front of Zhou Qing and the other five.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Zhou Qing said with a smile:
"Although this corpse is not guarding any treasure, it itself is a treasure."
A divine corpse, even if it has been killed, is a treasure and extremely valuable. It is equivalent to a precious treasure of a venerable being and has many uses, not just limited to corpse refining.
Sending the body a thousand miles away is a gesture of gratitude and love.
After collecting the corpse, Zhou Qing looked forward.
"We must be on the right track. Even the corpse of the god has appeared. This direction must not be simple."
Finally, changes occurred in front of Zhou Qing and his team.
It was originally gray fog, but the fog in front was black.
It was a darkness that was extremely gloomy, as if it could swallow up everything and was filled with a sense of death.
The darkness was so thick that nothing could be seen within the fog.
When approaching darkness, people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Here we are, we found it."
Shi Yi spoke very softly, but as soon as he finished speaking, two green lights suddenly lit up in the black fog.
The green light was suspended in the air, a little distance away from each other. It was clearly a pair of eyes! "Huh!"
A strong sound of wind came from the black fog, and then the black fog suddenly expanded and expanded, directly embracing Zhou Qing and the others.
"This is the King of the Underworld!"
Shi Yi said quickly: "The exit is inside the black fog. You can enter after killing it, but be careful, there must be creatures in the black fog that are vassals of the King of the Underworld!"
While Shi Yi was speaking, a surging momentum that was powerful enough to tear everything apart erupted from the location of the group of green eyes.
This King of the Underworld is one level stronger than the Divine Corpse.
Moreover, its aura was very strange, like a ghost but not a ghost, like a corpse but not a corpse, and it could not even be seen clearly because of the presence of black fog.
"boom!"
The colorful majestic energy poured out, and after coming into contact with the surrounding black fog, an extremely surprising reaction occurred.
Explosions, continuous explosions, as violent as water splashing from an oil pan.
The conflict between the righteous energy and the black fog is too great!
But it was also through this conflict that Zhou Qing and the others saw the true appearance of the King of the Underworld.
It was actually a... ghost? It had a long red haired corpse, and it also exuded a ghostly aura, but its facial features were not complete.
And in the entire Mingu Divine Mountain, there is only one thing that has this characteristic, and that is the Mingling.
Ghost, zombie, ghost... What kind of stitched monster is this? The King of the Underworld locked his eyes on Zhou Qing, his eyes were confused, but there was a tyrannical intent accumulating.
"boom!"
It moved, bringing with it a thunderous roar, and rushed straight towards Zhou Qing, also targeting Zhou Qing.
"Monster, you think it's too simple."
Lu Yuanyuan just shouted, and then took the initiative to greet the King of the Underworld, and Ao Xuanwei and the others did the same.
No matter what, it was impossible to let Zhou Qing face this monster alone.
But at this time, there were sounds of breaking through the air, and a large number of ghosts and zombies rushed out of the black fog again and attacked together.
The war broke out, and I can only say that the golden finger never deceived me.
Zhou Qing and his team have always had more people than monsters, but now the situation has reversed.
They were met with a vicious beating.
These dark creatures are really despicable and shameless! (End of this chapter)
