This smile was caught by Shui Tan, who was somewhat confused about Xia Xiao's thoughts. The latter had always been a weirdo. Even when he was praised, he didn't say a single polite word. It was unclear whether he was happy to accept it or he didn't agree with Shui Tan's statement and was too lazy to argue with him, thinking that he was just an ignorant person.
Xia Xiao in the water tank's eyes kept staring at the abyss trench covered by the five elements, waiting for the muddy sea of fire and lightning to be torn apart. Otherwise, they would jump down without even a bone residue left. The tiny lightning rays around were also dazzling, like thin snakes with ill intentions, crawling towards them and about to attack.
From a high vantage point, Xia Xiao and Shui Tan seemed to be in a strange place that could make people reincarnate. They were ready to jump out at any time and go to another world. Soon, half a quarter of an hour later, Qing Xunzi, who had made some simple preparations before, kept making seals in his hands, pulling open a crack in the tightly sealed seal, and shouted loudly:
"Walk!"
This sound was like an order, causing Xia Xiao and Shui Tan to leap. Even though they were nearly 200 meters apart and there was seawater blocking them, Ah Zhu and the others were still terrified. But Xia Xiao and Shui Tan were warriors and local daring, so they had great ambitions and dared to use their three-foot swords to achieve unprecedented achievements.
Therefore, they threw themselves into the water without any delay, and released the energy accumulated in their bodies, causing a bang behind them, spreading a huge wave of air and opening up the flow of seawater. One of the bubbles was full of momentum and went in the opposite direction of them. Below, the two figures were like nimble sailfish, chasing the stars and the moon, as if they were going to the Dragon Palace to meet the emperor.
Just as Xia Xiao had judged before, the distance from Crescent Rock to the abyss trench where the energy was closely attached was not as close as it looked, but still a hundred meters. In this distance, the energy was extremely thick, more than twenty meters thick, which was a strong obstacle, pulling their steps back. When they slowed down, lightning, fire, sea currents, mud and rocks all came towards them.
Even with their own vitality and Qingxunzi's power, Xia Xiao and Shui Tan still felt the threat of death. The latter was terrified, and when he looked at Xia Xiao, he was calm, gritted his teeth, frowned, and immediately shouted:
"rush!"
Immediately, Xia Xiao formed a seal, and the surrounding space began to ripple. He once again resisted the surrounding vitality and moved down a hundred meters. When approaching the gap, the surrounding vitality dyed Xia Xiao and Shui Tan's eyes into a colorful color, which was amazing. Xia Xiao could also bloom this kind of five-element vitality flower, but the eternal magnificence of a thousand-year-old flower could not be compared with a newly bloomed young flower. However, they were very close to the gap!
Compared to Xia Xiao, who had experienced a lot, Shui Tan seemed much more naive, so he was very nervous at this moment, and secretly felt lucky when he saw that he was about to go in. Just when his nerves relaxed a little, several huge figures rushed out quickly from the dark trench where no sunlight could be seen, making it impossible for him to dodge and crash into them.
As soon as his hands loosened, the stone box flew backwards, startling the water tank and turning around quickly, passing by the giant monster. He reached out to the stone box, which was the hard work of the family, and there could not be any mistakes, otherwise he would be a sinner!
The body instantly turned into a sea beast, and in the water flow, the water tank rolled around and sucked it into its mouth, turned around and swam to Xia Xiao's side, and turned into a nimble human form again. The water tank saw those big creatures again, they were skinny corpses, their bodies were twisted, without any vitality, and were bleak gray. And those faces all had resentment and anger, and they remained in that state even at the last moment of their lives.
Shui Tan was stunned. Are these ancient sea beasts? Although they were several times bigger than him, it was obvious from the skeletons. But those hideous and twisted faces really shocked him. Looking back, he saw that there were no longer just three or four corpses, but densely packed like an ant nest. The lifeless skeletons came out in droves, as if to tell Da Huang with their horrifying appearance that the revenge of his sea beast clan was about to begin!
A sad ancient song of weeping was sung in the deep sea, composed by the sound of corpses flowing, and embellished by abominable faces. Xia Xiao heard and saw it, and looked at the corpses rushing out in disbelief when the entire sea began to tremble. Logically speaking, it has been sealed for 30,000 years, and there shouldn't be so many living beings alive in it, but these beings, at first glance, have just sacrificed their lives and strength. Could it be that... the Emperor of the Beginning has also fallen into the devil's way, absorbing everyone to increase his strength?
This was not surprising for this desperate race. However, their arrival affected Xia Xiao and the others' entry. The dense presence made their scalps tingle. Even if they exerted their full strength, it was not worth mentioning in such a place. They could only wait for their master to help.
At the critical moment, Qing Xunzi said:
“Go!”
After saying that, he pointed out, crushing hundreds of corpses into pieces and opening up a path. Xia Xiao and the water tank entered with the help of the power, and passed by those with turbid sea water and unknown scum. Suddenly, their backs felt cold and a little horrified, because the number of corpses in front of them was thousands, or even more.
After leaving the abyssal trench, these corpses finally returned to the sea as they wished, but they were no longer alive. However, they still moved in all directions, rising and moving in front of Azhu and the others, as if their souls still existed. And when the four sea beasts and Azhu could not bear to watch, the remaining soul drove the body to swim everywhere. They were sealed for 30,000 years, born in darkness and died in darkness, and finally were liberated after death, without any constraints.
The water was rushing and there was a foul smell. Although they were blocked by the layers of vitality, Ah Zhu still felt her stomach churning. This was the first time she had seen such a scene. It was a scene of thousands of corpses floating around, a crime committed by Yu Shangyan ten thousand years ago, and the beginning of a worsening disaster and an outburst of anger.
In a blink of an eye, they lifted their chins and looked back at the bottom of the sea. Xia Xiao and the water tank on the abyss trench had already entered it. But corpses continued to float up from the gap, seemingly endless.
The corpses were like sea foam, constantly shaking off the darkness and swimming outward. That was the direction of freedom. They had been searching for it for ten thousand years, and finally had this opportunity. Naturally, they had to get out, but countless creatures sealed in it were still offering sacrifices in the darkness, flocking to the dark blue light, adding a bit of brightness to it.
Xia Xiao and the water tank entered a dark place. There was nothing special about it, but there had been no light here for 30,000 years. One could imagine how cruel this seal was. Countless corpses were floating overhead, rushing towards the gap. The two stood there, quickly observing their surroundings, their faces becoming increasingly cold, refreshing their understanding of misery.
There were corpses above their heads and under their feet. A hundred meters below them, there were countless large and small corpses, with a few strands of raw meat hanging on them, eaten by sea beasts passing by from the abyss. Then, seeing Xia Xiao and Shui Tank, he immediately turned back and hid in the darkness of unknown depth, and then entered another road and headed towards the light ball not far away.
Xia Xiao and Shui Tan could not imagine how they had survived these 30,000 years. Could it be that they... ate their own kind? The previous scene confirmed this theory, but Xia Xiao and Shui Tan remained silent and headed towards the light ball not far away. Now that they had entered the seal as they wished, it was also an enemy's lair. If they were not careful, they would die here. Therefore, they were extremely careful, and their tense nerves were frightened by Qing Xunzi.
"Can you handle it?"
The water tank took a few breaths. Talking at this time could scare people to death. But before he could react, Xia Xiao replied:
"Not sure, let's get its attention first."
Xia Xiao adapted to the darkness in the abyss trench, and when he used his energy to take in almost all the scenery here, he was stunned. Because sea beasts kept rushing out from the abyss, and on the other side where they were going, there was a huge living aura in the halo that Xia Xiao had never seen before.
The third eye on Xia Xiao's forehead had already opened in the blood and veins, and it was filled with a cold and pale blue color. Although it was cold, it was still bright, not dim. Xia Xiao's eye could see through good and evil, true and false, and he couldn't help but believe what Qie Dan had said. Could it be that this Emperor Qishi was really a gentleman? If so, Xia Xiao's confidence, which had been weakened by seeing the corpse, would increase a little. And this behavior should not be as simple as demonic energy, because Xia Xiao did not detect the smell of demonic energy, but felt that the light was a bit like the soul held in the hands of the water tank.
"What should we do?"
The water tank didn't know what Xia Xiao was looking at, so he asked. In this smelly and filthy place, he felt uncomfortable if he stayed for a second longer. The smelly smell and dirty things around him kept floating in front of him, making him feel nauseous. Xia Xiao didn't show any special reaction. After all, he had experienced a similar stench in the space of Hei Huang, so he just said:
"Come closer."
If you want to persuade the Emperor Qishi, you must at least communicate with him. Otherwise, how can you persuade him? Divine communication? Xia Xiao dared not. The spiritual power of that kind of existence could destroy him into a pile of blood with just one thought. Although it was a bit dangerous to get too close, they came for danger, so they went straight forward in the darkness without stopping.
The darkness of ordinary people is commonplace to sea beasts, but to Xia Xiao and Shui Tank, it is a tragic and miserable foil. Therefore, they kept heading towards the halo that was like the heart of the sea with a worried and heavy heart, and saw more and more sea beast corpses floating around aimlessly and unknown where to go.
The water here is extremely turbid. It has existed for who knows how many years. No new water has flowed in, and no dirty water has flowed out. But with the entry of Xia Xiao and the water tank, the dirty water and the water outside began to merge for the first time in 30,000 years. As a sea beast, someone soon discovered the abnormality of the water in the trench, so he went back to look for the cause.
As soon as they stopped, a large number of sea beasts that were determined to die immediately blocked the way. Some of them were eager to sacrifice their lives, so they shouted and cursed. But soon, they also found something wrong. There was a fresh smell in this trench that they had never had before.
In the darkness, Xia Xiao's forward movement suddenly stopped, because there were tens of thousands of eyes staring at them. Behind these scarlet eyes that were like hanging lanterns, there was a pair of beast pupils that were not opened yet, but were as big as a huge lake. They all stared at Xia Xiao and the water tank, which made them shudder. In just a moment, they felt that their lives were coming to an end, especially when they all came towards this side. Even though Xia Xiao and the water tank had Qing Xunzi's vitality outside, they also had the idea of running away. But Xia Xiao blocked the water tank and said calmly:
"Long time no see, Emperor Qishi."
