Chapter 222: Living in the Land Temple

The original site of the ant nest, deep underground.

"Wow~"

The rushing water continuously washed the rocks. It turned out that there was an underground river under the ant nest.

"call!"

Gu Shaoxuan tied a chain made of black iron on his shoulder, tied the black coffin to himself, and climbed up the river bank with some difficulty.

"That cat... can actually control the power of the earth veins. I miscalculated..."

Gu Shaoxuan muttered to himself and once again rummaged through the small cabinets on the black coffin.

After a moment, Gu Shaoxuan frowned.

The remaining two injections of Sheng Shen Guo were lost in the chaos just now.

"Forget it, this is just a minor injury, there is no need for the Shengshen Fruit."

He closed the cabinets again, and took out a set of dark black training clothes from the black coffin. He put them on. His true energy surged, and in the blink of an eye, all the water stains on the clothes were evaporated.

He had known about the existence of this underground river for a long time. At the critical moment just now, if he had not broken through the ground and fallen into the underground river, he would have been strangled by the chaotic power of the earth and would not have been able to bear it.

"It's a pity to let them escape." Gu Shaoxuan muttered to himself. After lifting half of a fat ant from under the river bank, he said, "How is the tunnel digging going?"

"My lord... I'm badly injured. Can you find me something to eat so I can recover a little..." The Queen Ant, whose body was covered with scales, said very weakly.

"There's no time." Gu Shaoxuan said in a cold tone: "Have you done what I asked you to do? Help me pass a message to those worker ants digging the tunnel."

"My Lord, I am really dying..."

"I don't care whether you live or die?" Gu Shaoxuan pinched his five fingers together, and the dark martial arts essence turned into a giant claw of the underworld, pinching the ant queen and making her scream miserably: "If you listen to me, you can still live for a while. If you don't listen, you must die now! Do as I say!"

The double threat of severe pain and death finally made the Ant Queen ruthless again: "It's a death anyway. If I die, you won't be well either! Your plan has been exposed. When those humans come to help, you will die too!" M. cascoo

"Oh? You dare to yell at me?" Gu Shaoxuan suddenly laughed: "You are not afraid of death, right?"

"I won't live much longer anyway, so just kill me! What nonsense!" The Ant Queen said fiercely, "It's just a death!"

“Hehehe.”

Gu Shaoxuan laughed, his laughter was unusually cold: "You seem to think that death is a kind of relief?"

His martial arts will suddenly manifested, and the Ant Queen had already been seriously injured and was completely unable to resist the invasion of Gu Shaoxuan's martial arts will.

In a trance, the Queen Ant seemed to see the most horrifying scene in her life.

The boiling hot oil rolled in the huge pot, and the Queen Ant rolled and screamed in the pot. The feeling of pain seemed to be transmitted to the Queen Ant.

Oil pans, mountains of knives, seas of fire, skinning... scenes like purgatory constantly invaded the Ant Queen's mind.

"What is this..." The Ant Queen couldn't help but asked with a trembling voice.

"The Eighteen Layers of Hell." Gu Shaoxuan grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said in a grim tone: "Death is not the end, there is still a world after death. If you don't obey, I will throw you into the Eighteen Layers of Hell and let you perish in endless pain for eternity!"

"I, I... the tunnel has been almost dug. Sir, we can start whatever you ask us to do at any time..."

The Queen Ant recalled the terrifying scene that made the ants shudder and chose to compromise.

Gu Shaoxuan patted the ant queen's head and said with satisfaction: "It's a wise decision. Be obedient. Otherwise, I will let you know that death is just the beginning!"

"yes……"

…

The Queen Ant's body had shrunk by half, and under the threat of Gu Shaoxuan, she had no choice but to perform a "tear down the east wall to repair the west wall" operation on her body.

At the cost of star level degradation, the remaining energy in the broken body is consumed to forcibly recover from the injuries - at least that's what it looks like on the surface. The Queen Ant can decide the size and appearance of her offspring, so naturally she can also control her own.

At this moment, Gu Shaoxuan was carrying his black coffin on his back and sitting on the Ant Queen, letting the Ant Queen lead him through the deep underground passage.

Do the Eighteen Layers of Hell exist?

Of course it doesn't exist, at least it doesn't seem to exist now.

That was just a martial arts phenomenon condensed from the "Hell and Rebirth Sutra" he practiced.

He had comprehended this "Hell's Rebirth Sutra" from a stone wall engraved with strange inscriptions outside the border. For so many years, he had been traveling alone outside the border, and it was only thanks to the power of "Hell's Rebirth Sutra" that he was able to survive to this day. It was also because of the existence of this martial art that he firmly believed that the underworld really existed.

Gu Shaoxuan recalled the young warrior who risked his life to protect him behind him in the beast tide more than 20 years ago. His eyes suddenly softened: "Brother, you will wake up soon. I have a lot to say to you. What will you say to me? I am really looking forward to it..."

The underworld does not exist, but that is only now. Soon, the underworld will truly descend upon the human world!

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoxuan's eyes flashed coldly: "The Netherworld is coming, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, sacrifice is necessary!"

…

Judging from the timeline, it hasn't been too long since Xu Dong and others brought the bodies of the three villagers back to the village and called for reinforcements to look for Ji Ruo and the other two.

When the villagers in the village learned that the body had been found, they all got up and went out of their homes to see if they could help.

Of course, the main purpose was to 'take a look' - although it might not be quite appropriate to say so, it was true that the villagers looked like they were there to see the excitement.

The cries exploded in the night sky. Niu Li and other relatives of the dead villagers looked at the slightly decayed bodies in the coffins and cried heart-wrenchingly.

Ji Ruo did not rush forward immediately, but went to the land temple in the village while no one was paying attention.

The land temple only occupies one square meter and does not look very big. Moreover, it has been in disrepair for many years and the incense is few and far between. The offerings have long since rotted and the trays are empty.

Ji Ruo took a look inside and found that the clay statue of the God of Land had turned into the shape of a white cat, with a cat's head and a human body.

Luo Xi asked curiously: "Meow~ (Oh, sister has her own little house now? I'm so jealous.)"

Ji Ruo slapped her in anger and said, "Do you want to be worshipped too?"

"Meow~ (Is there anything delicious to offer?)"

"?"

The boy ignored Rosie and put the three paper tablets into the temple and placed them in front of the Meow Meow God.

After thinking for a while, he took out three more raw fruits and placed them on the tray containing the offerings, then took Luo Xi to respectfully burn a few incense sticks.

"Owner."

The divine light flickered, and the shadow of the white cat appeared in the small land temple. She still looked in a bad mental state. The cat was wearing a simple coarse linen dress, which looked a little out of place.

Not only that, the white cat is not very big at the moment, and is not much bigger than Ji Xiaoxiao at the moment.

This small land temple really looks a bit like a white cat's home.
