Chapter 621: The Death of Su Haochen
Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, the three boys present couldn't help but show different expressions.
Mu Jingshen was silent for a moment, then asked, "If we don't kill the Netherworld Ghost, what conditions do we need to meet to pass through the Netherworld Secret Realm?"
Ye Fei raised two fingers: "I can think of two possibilities right now."
"Firstly, we successfully prevented the Netherworld Ghost from advancing to the level of a Sacred Beast."
"Secondly, obtain a treasure during the battle, such as something guarded by the Netherworld Ghost."
Upon hearing this, Wenrenqi said, "Both of the two possibilities you mentioned are possible, but what is unavoidable is that we will have to fight against the Netherworld Ghost."
“As far as I know, the Netherworld Ghost does indeed have a protective object.” Wuyin’s calm and pleasant voice resonated in Ye Fei, Huang Rongyu and Mu Jingshen’s ears. “This object is called the Heart of the Deep Sea. In addition to its water-repelling effect, it has an even more magical ability—it can convert the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the spiritual energy it needs.”
Ye Fei's pupils constricted slightly in surprise. "Converting spiritual energy?!"
If you could possess such a treasure, you wouldn't have to worry about your spiritual energy being depleted.
No wonder the Netherworld Ghost absorbs the spiritual energy of spirit masters to improve its cultivation and can directly break into the ranks of the top ten sacred beasts. It turns out that it is also blessed by the Heart of the Deep Sea!
"No matter what, we have to give it a try." Huang Rongyu gazed into the deepest part of the bone cage, a rare seriousness appearing on his handsome face: "We can't just sit here and wait to die."
Ye Fei nodded, then glanced at Wenren Qi: "How is your injury?"
Wenrenqi replied, "Your elixir worked very well; you are now out of danger."
"Okay, then let's keep going."
With a final decision made, the four men advanced deeper into the prison.
The further they went, the more oppressive the atmosphere became. Everyone slowed their pace, afraid of waking the sleeping monster.
As they drew closer, Huang Rongyu keenly sensed an extremely dense concentration of aquatic spiritual energy floating in the seawater.
Next, what came into the four people's view was a transparent spirit beast with a body shaped like a giant bowl. It had four large, closed eyes, and several long, thin, crimson tentacles moved with the dark currents. Its transparent body was mixed with the light blue of the seawater, like a ghost lurking in the night.
"It is the Ghost of the Underworld." Wuyin transmitted the message to the three of them through mental sharing.
Ye Fei took a deep breath. The shape of this Netherworld Ghost resembled a giant jellyfish. Although its appearance gave people a mysterious beauty, it was said that the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it is.
Mu Jingshen made a gesture to Ye Fei, and Ye Fei looked in the direction the boy was pointing. Behind the place where the ghost Mingchen lived, there was a cave emitting a ghostly light.
Could it be that the cave holds the guardian artifact of the Netherworld Ghost, the Heart of the Deep Sea?
"Xiao Fei," Huang Rongyu called her name softly, "I think I saw Su Haochen."
A cloaked figure floated near the ghostly figure of the Underworld. His hair was disheveled and scattered across his face, revealing only one wide-open eye—he had clearly been dead for some time.
Ye Fei winked at the three of them, then cautiously approached Su Haochen. She touched his arm; his skin was already stiff, and a fist-sized hole had been dug out in his lower abdomen where his spiritual root was hidden.
Who would have thought that the once-proud prodigy of Lingfeng Academy would end up like this, with his spiritual roots destroyed by spirit beasts draining his spiritual energy, ultimately dying a tragic death in the deep sea...
