Chapter 162 Deep in the Nightmare, the Devil's Heart is Beating
"Feed?" Xiao Yu raised his brows slightly.
"Yes." Yun Shen pointed at the scattered dots on the map. "Mass graves, ancient wells, abandoned mines... these places are inherently evil lands. The remnants of the Wugu tribe used these places as nodes for their formations. It's like laying a giant net beneath the capital to absorb the evil energy!"
"And all the power absorbed by this net will eventually converge into this center of the formation!"
Yun Shen's finger tapped heavily on the blood-red cross.
"West Mountain Mine!"
"If I'm not mistaken, they've repeatedly sneaked into Prince Yu's mansion, cleansed those evil imprints, and performed sacrificial rituals in order to obtain purer 'nutrients' to transport through this evil formation to the center of that formation!"
A cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
He remembered the Heart of the Underworld that was sealed by Chu Xuanyi and Ajiu.
Although the evil heart has been temporarily suppressed.
But no one can guarantee that the Wugut tribe will not have a second or third one!
Perhaps they were using the entire capital's earth veins and Yin Qi to nurture a being... even more terrifying and powerful than the previous one...
New Demon Heart!
"Xishan..." Xiao Yu slowly read out these two words.
For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation and uneasiness in his heart.
It was as if he had overlooked something extremely important.
at the same time.
In the Imperial Master's Mansion, in the quiet room where soothing incense burns all year round.
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Ajiu's forehead.
His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was going through something extremely painful.
Her dreams were no longer the vague, chaotic darkness they had been before.
But it becomes unusually clear.
So clear, it's terrifying.
She "saw" it.
She "saw" herself floating in the boundless darkness beneath the earth.
And below her, deep in the earth, countless... black "vines" covered with hideous barbs, like living things, are growing madly and twistedly!
These vines were a hundred times thicker and more evil than those she had "seen" before!
They are like huge, greedy, rotten underground blood vessels, deeply rooted in the earth veins of the capital.
They are... sucking!
Ajiu could clearly "see" that the ochre-colored breath representing the vitality of the earth was being savagely devoured and absorbed by these black vines!
With every time they absorbed a bit of the earth energy, the black color of the vines became darker, and the barbs on them became more ferocious!
And these vines are not messy.
They are coming from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, madly converging in the same direction!
That direction...
Jiu tried hard to "see" more clearly.
There, there was an even deeper, sticky darkness.
There was something in the center of the darkness.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
That familiar heartbeat sounded in her "ears" again.
But this time, the sound was louder than ever before! And... more rapid!
It was like a giant drum made of human skin, being beaten fiercely and madly with a bone hammer!
Along with the sound of the heartbeat, there is another kind of piercing sound that makes your teeth ache.
“Crack…Crack…Crack…Crack…”
The sound was like... like countless sharp claws digging frantically into the hard rock!
It was as if some huge, terrifying monster that had been imprisoned for thousands of years was struggling from the depths of the earth, little by little, to... break out of the ground!
Jiu was so scared that he was shaking all over.
She wanted to escape, but found that her "body" could not move at all.
She wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
All they could do was watch helplessly as those black vines transported endless, filthy, and evil power into the center of darkness.
suddenly!
Her sight penetrated the sticky darkness!
She saw it!
At the end where all the vines converged, at the source of the beating of that huge "heart", at the edge of a newly excavated, huge, bottomless cave...
There were two blurry figures standing there, but they looked extremely familiar to her!
One of them was hunched over, skinny as a stick, and was leaning on a crutch made of dry bones.
The elder of the Wugut tribe!
And the other one... although he was equally skinny, the twisted, crazy, and resentful expression on his face was something that Jiu would never forget in his entire life!
King Yu!
Hadn't he already sacrificed himself, his soul annihilated?!
Why...why are you here?!
I saw that "Prince Yu" and the elders of the clan were standing by the bottomless cave, performing some strange ritual.
They were muttering and chanting evil spells.
As they chanted, the "clacking" sound of digging in the cave became more crazy and louder!
“Almost there…almost there…”
"Our race's...Supreme God...is about to...return to the human world!"
"Use the entire capital's dragon veins... use the blood and essence of millions of lives... to welcome your... new life!!!"
That crazy, resentful roar that was not like a human voice, like the sound of a devil, pierced into Ajiu's consciousness!
"ah--!!!"
In the quiet room, Ah Jiu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly let out a low wail filled with pain and fear!
“No…don’t…”
All the color drained from her little face, and her body began to twitch violently and uncontrollably!
"Master! Jiu...she's not right!"
Ling Zhu, who had been standing by, was the first to notice the abnormality and cried out in surprise!
Chu Xuanyi, who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes!
Around Ah Jiu, the originally steady and gentle golden light that represented her luck was now flickering violently like a candle in the wind, flickering unpredictably!
There was even a hint of ominous black death energy seeping into the light!
"It's the nightmare backlash!"
Chu Xuanyi's face changed drastically. He didn't care about his weak body and struggled to get out of bed!
"Quick! Light the 'Calming Incense'! Use my talisman to protect her heart meridian!"
The disciples suddenly became flustered.
Yun Shen immediately took out the highest grade calming incense and lit it, while another disciple took out the golden talisman drawn by Chu Xuanyi himself and was about to stick it on Ajiu's forehead!
But it's useless!
The fragrance that could soothe ghosts and gods had no effect on Ajiu at this moment!
The talisman containing the great and righteous spirit, when it approached the flickering golden light around Ajiu, suddenly, with a "sizzle", it spontaneously combusted into ashes!
"how so?!"
