Chapter 977 It’s really deadly
And just as Shen Fuzhou took a step, the ground suddenly shook violently, and countless dark vines broke out of the ground, winding around like giant snakes!
“Be careful!” Luo Li’s sword flashed, cutting off the vines that attacked Shen Fuzhou.
Wen Xingyan formed a seal with one hand, and the power of ice instantly froze the ground within a radius of ten feet. The vines were frozen and made a sharp cracking sound.
However, more vines emerged from all directions, as if the entire forest was awakening.
"There's something strange about these vines!" Luo Li's eyes darkened. "They're devouring our spiritual energy!"
Shen Fuzhou's face changed, and he hurriedly checked his spiritual veins: "Oh my god! How come the spiritual power I just recovered is only half left?!"
Wen Xingyan said calmly, "We can't fight for a long time. Just charge forward! See if we can run into Shi Yuan and the others!"
The three of them no longer lingered in the fight, and rushed as fast as lightning towards the place where the spatial fluctuations were the strongest.
The vines kept chasing after them, and the ground kept collapsing, revealing bottomless darkness.
Just as they were about to be surrounded by vines, Luo Li suddenly stopped, formed seals with his hands, and shouted, "Break!"
A brilliant golden beam of light shot up into the sky, tearing through the encirclement of vines.
"Walk!"
The three of them took the opportunity to rush out and finally arrived in front of the distorted space.
Shen Fuzhou gasped, looked back at the madly wriggling vines, and was frightened: "This damn place is really deadly!"
Luo Li glanced at the twisted space crack and frowned, "It's not the entrance to the third level."
As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, the twisted space crack suddenly trembled violently, and an extremely cold breath gushed out!
"Back off!" Wen Xingyan grabbed Shen Fuzhou's collar, and the three of them retreated quickly.
A pale bony hand slowly emerged from the crack, followed by a head covered with strange runes - it was actually a pitch-black skeleton!
Blue flames danced in the skull's eye sockets, and its jaws opened and closed: "Trespassers...die..."
Shen Fuzhou took a breath and said, "Looking at this appearance, it seems to be recorded...
A Skeleton General from the Netherworld?! Isn't this a gatekeeper only found in the third realm? How could he appear in the second realm?!
Luo Li's sword was already unsheathed, and the blade was ignited with golden flames: "Be careful, it has lord-level fluctuations!"
The skeleton suddenly jumped up, and its bony claws tore through the air and went straight for Wen Xingyan's throat!
Wen Xingyan blocked the attack with his sword, and the ice crystals spread wildly along the contact point, but exploded when they touched the runes on the skull's chest.
"It can devour the power of the law!" Wen Xingyan groaned and stepped back, with holes corroded on his cuffs.
"Judgment of Light!" Luo Li seized the opportunity and slashed in mid-air. The golden sword light made the skeleton stagger backward.
But the next second, the rune on the skull's chest lit up, and the severed ribs automatically connected!
Shen Fuzhou suddenly took out three purple gold bells: “Next!”
The bells flew towards the two of them.
The moment Luo Li caught it, the bell turned into a stream of light covering the sword, and the sword's light suddenly increased three times.
"Soul-calming bell? When did you—"
"No time to explain! We only have half an hour left! Get rid of this damn thing!"
The skeleton let out a sharp scream, and countless bone spikes suddenly burst out from the ground.
Wen Xingyan stepped on the ice and rose up, with mysterious patterns condensing on the tip of his sword: "Frost Sky Silence!"
Wherever the extremely cold sword energy passed, even the space condensed into ice flowers, and the skeleton's movements suddenly slowed down.
Luo Li seized the opportunity to rush forward, and the sword blade wrapped in golden light accurately pierced the skull's eye socket.
"Break!" A dazzling beam of light penetrated from the head to the chest, and those strange runes collapsed bit by bit in the golden light.
The skeleton turned to dust, leaving behind seven clearance tokens.
Luo Li put away her sword, reached out to catch the token floating in the air, and frowned slightly: "Seven? How can there be so many?"
Shen Fuzhou came over, his eyes lit up: "No matter how much it is, it's better than nothing! Quickly divide it and see!"
Wen Xingyan took the token and examined it carefully. Suddenly, his pupils shrank: "No, this is not an ordinary clearance token."
There were tiny blood-red runes engraved on the back of the token, faintly visible in the dim light.
Luo Li gathered a trace of spiritual power on her fingertips and lightly touched the rune. The token suddenly vibrated violently and turned into a black python that bit towards her wrist!
"Be careful!" Wen Xingyan's sword flashed, and the black python broke into two pieces and fell to the ground, but turned into black mist and condensed again.
Shen Fuzhou took a breath and said, "It's the Soul Devouring Python! How could this thing be parasitic on the token!"
The black fog suddenly split into seven beams and shot towards the three people like sharp arrows.
"Barrier of light!" Luo Li opened the white light shield, and the black fog hit it with a crackling sound.
Wen Xingyan's sword traced a silver-white trajectory: "A thousand miles of ice!"
An extremely cold air swept out, and five black mists instantly froze into ice crystals and fell.
The remaining two suddenly turned around, bypassed the defense at a strange angle, and went straight to the back of Shen Fuzhou!
“Shen Fuzhou!”
At the critical moment, an ancient mirror suddenly flew out of Shen Fuzhou's arms.
Ripples appeared on the mirror surface, sucking in all the black fog.
"Huh... Fortunately, I brought the Heaven-Swallowing Mirror given by the mountain master." Shen Fuzhou's legs went limp and he sat on the ground. The ancient mirror fell to the ground with a clang, and a crack appeared on the mirror surface.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Why do I feel like this Netherworld isn't a trial? It's designed to take our lives! What kind of trial would be so dangerous?! Don't they want us to get out alive?!"
Luo Li and Wen Xingyan looked at each other silently. You know what, Yan Ye really didn't want them to get out alive.
Not only would dying there severely damage most of the forces, the Phantom Spirit Pearl in her body would also automatically leave her body. This was why Yan Ye's attitude was not aggressive at the first level.
After all, as long as she died here, it wouldn't matter whether it was half a year or not, he could get it in less than a month.
Luo Li looked around and said, "Let's leave here first and see if we can run into Shi Yuan and the others."
"good."
After saying this, they walked straight into the dense forest again.
The sky of the second level of the Netherworld is always covered with a layer of dark red mist, like solidified blood.
Luo Li stepped over a broken piece of dead wood, and the sole of her boot crushed the black spiritual plants growing on it, making a teeth-grinding crunching sound.
"rustle--"
She turned around suddenly, and the sword blade drew a golden arc of light.
The three dark centipedes that pounced from the treetops were broken into two pieces, and their smelly body fluids splashed on the ground, immediately corroding into holes that emitted white smoke.
"It's the seventeenth wave." Luo Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly as it hung to the ground.
Wen Xingyan also gritted his teeth slightly, "I don't know how many clearance tokens have fallen, but I haven't met anyone."
Shen Fuzhou frowned, “Could it be that they have already gone to the third level?”
Luo Li shook her head, "There were no unusual phenomena on the second level, so the possibility is very low."
Wen Xingyan also nodded in agreement, "That's right, let's continue walking inside. After all, we haven't even seen the altar where the clearance token is embedded."
"Keep going inside."
