Chapter 743 Trapped, Diving into the Styx

"Gone?"

I shook my head at the direction where Bai Qi disappeared, then gritted my teeth and forced myself to sit up.

I was seriously injured, but after Bai Qi used Qi to help me warm up the eight extraordinary meridians and straighten my bones, the injury has been alleviated a lot. Although it is still far from being completely healed, at least it doesn't hurt so much.

I took a deep breath, and then sat on the ground in a daze.

This time, we were a group of ten people, and our mission was to behead the flying zombie Meng Tian, ​​but we never thought that Lao Kong and Wu Sheng and others, who had never even seen Meng Tian, ​​were seriously injured and beaten up, and I was in a life-and-death situation, and almost buried in this incubation land.

"I don't know what happened to Lao Kong and Wu Sheng!" I frowned secretly: "How long have I been in the Incubation Land? The time here... should be the same as outside!" During

this time, I have been experiencing high-intensity battles, hovering between life and death several times, and fainted several times. Now, I have long lost track of time.

However, thanks to my improvement in Taoism, my body functions have become stronger and stronger. Otherwise, I guess I would have enough to drink a pot of water even if I was thirsty and hungry.

Although I almost died here several times, these battles have also greatly improved me, especially in combat experience and combat awareness.

"Where is Ning Shuiyao? Will she enter the Incubation Land? Where should I go next? Should I leave here? Are the two evil celestial phenomena still in the Incubation Land?"

At this moment, I suddenly remembered what Bai Qi had said before.

He said that I would have adventures in this Incubation Land, but this adventure would also be accompanied by great dangers. If I could survive it, then I would most likely become the most powerful of the Four Heaven-stealing Elephants.

But if I couldn't survive it, then I might... be completely screwed!

"What exactly are the adventures that Bai Qi is talking about? Is there any other place in this Incubation Land that will bring me adventures?" I frowned and murmured, but then, my heart suddenly shook, and I suddenly raised my head and looked at the distant sky.

I have seen all the ghost kings and corpse kings in this incubation land. I have even seen the ghost-faced bat king Yin Luan, and I have also devoured the ten thousand year old ghost king Huai Yu in the underground abyss.

It can be said that this incubation land can no longer bring me anything except the ghost mother.

"Could it be that the adventure that Bai Qi mentioned refers to... the ghost mother?" I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, thinking what adventure I could get from the ghost mother?

You know, that is a half-step heavenly ghost. Moreover, Yin Luan said that the ghost mother is just one step away from being promoted to the heavenly ghost realm, and may have to pass the tribulation in the near future.

It is effortless for a half-step heavenly ghost to kill me. If the ghost mother successfully ascends to the heavenly ghost realm, then killing me, wouldn't it be even easier?

"Could it be that I will devour the ghost mother in the end?" This thought was too terrifying. Even if I just thought about it, I couldn't help but shudder, because for me now, this is no different from dreaming in broad daylight!

Just as I was sitting cross-legged on the ground, frowning and thinking wildly, suddenly, there was a ball of ghost energy surging in the distance, and then quickly flew towards me.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this, and I grabbed the fallen soul-chopping knife and Miao knife on the ground. I gritted my teeth and stood up to endure the severe pain, staring at the ball of ghost energy.

The next moment, I heard a "whoosh", and the ball of ghost energy descended not far in front of me.

Then, I saw the ghost energy surging, and a man with sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a handsome face, and wearing a Taoist robe came into my sight.

"Mu Sheng?" I was startled, because the person who came was none other than the Ten Thousand Year Ghost King, Mu Sheng!

"How are you?" He looked me up and down and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm fine, you..." I looked at him hesitantly, and he turned his head and looked at me, then said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long, you come with me."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight towards me, but I subconsciously took a step back and asked with a wary look, "Where are you going?"

"To a safe place." Mu Sheng said, "Don't worry, I will never hurt you, the Ghost Mother has already set her sights on you, you must come with me, otherwise, the Ghost Mother may really imprison you!" Mu

Sheng's voice was very hurried, and while he was talking, he kept looking back in the direction he came from, as if someone was staring at this place there.

I frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng didn't waste any time and grabbed my arm. Then, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and a ball of ghost energy instantly wrapped me up, and then took me and flew away quickly.

"Where are you taking me? Send me out of the hatching Yin land?" At this moment, the two of us were flying quickly in the air. The whistling sound of the wind made me almost unable to hear anything, and even my voice subconsciously increased a few degrees.

"We'll be there soon." Mu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked around, then pulled me down quickly.

A few minutes later, we both landed in a mountain range. Although it was a mountain range, there was no life at all. The mountaintops were bare, and some scattered vegetation had turned yellow. Under the yellow sand, there were occasional dead bones of animals. Although the evil spirit and death were not as strong as the place I was in before, from time to time, there were also wronged ghosts wandering around, making a sound that made people feel creepy.

"Where is this place?" I asked suspiciously.

"We are still in the Incubation Land. Originally, this Incubation Land only occupied a mountain pass and was not very large. But after the Ghost Mother took over this place, as her cultivation level increased, the rolling Yin energy also expanded, and the covered areas slowly turned into the territory of the Incubation Land. Now, the area of ​​the Incubation Land is almost seventy or eighty square kilometers. We are now in the southwest corner of the Incubation Land, only about five kilometers away from the edge of the Incubation Land!"

After hearing Mu Sheng's words, my eyes lit up: "So close to the edge? Then can I get out?"

In fact, I was very confused. Since Mu Sheng chose to help me, why didn't he send me to the Incubation Land, but brought me to this place?

Hearing this, Mu Sheng shook his head, then pointed to the distance and said, "Look there."

I squinted my eyes and looked in the direction of his finger.

But when I saw the scene in the distance through the rolling yin energy, I couldn't help but tremble all over, and my heart trembled again and again.

"Is that... a barrier?"

I saw that in the distant sky, there was a gray, curtain-like substance covering the sky above the Hatching Land. The curtain might have just condensed. Some birds accidentally entered and flapped their wings to get out, but the moment they touched the gray barrier, they instantly turned into a ball of blood mist.

"Well, it's the barrier set by the Ghost Mother." Mu Sheng sighed: "Although this is not good news, I still have to tell you that you are... trapped!"

This news was undoubtedly a thunderbolt for me, exploding in my heart, shaking my internal organs, and trembling with it.

"Why did the Ghost Mother set up a barrier, just to...trap me?"

In my opinion, compared to a big boss who has the opportunity to be promoted to a heavenly ghost, I am just a small character.

However, the Ghost Mother mobilized such a large array and set up a barrier covering a full 70 to 80 kilometers. It is very likely that it was just to trap me.

But the next moment, my heart skipped a beat.

"No, it's not to trap me, but to prevent people from outside from coming in. She doesn't want to be disturbed!" I exclaimed: "She wants to...transcend the tribulation!"

I widened my eyes, and my eyes were full of shock.

"Yes." Mu Sheng nodded. "The Ghost Mother will be going through a tribulation soon. She doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone, so she set up this barrier. This barrier was set up by her and the Nine Sons. Perhaps to guard against me, she didn't even let me participate. A barrier set up by a half-step heavenly ghost and nine ten-thousand-year ghost kings, even if the previous person wanted to get in, it would probably take some effort!"

I knew that the previous person that Mu Sheng was talking about was Bai Qi.

"Let's go. This place has just been assimilated by the Incubation Yin Land. The Ghost Mother's sense of this place is extremely weak. She can't find this place for a while."

After Mu Sheng finished speaking, he walked towards the foot of a mountain. Seeing this, I shook my head helplessly and then quickly followed.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, I found that there was a cave at the foot of the mountain. In the cave, there were several secret rooms. There were stone beds, stone tables, and even some wild fruits in the secret rooms.

"I opened this place recently. The purpose was to avoid the ghost mother and steal some leisure time, stealing half a day of leisure from my busy life." Mu Sheng smiled embarrassedly, and then continued: "You recuperate here first. I have something else to do and can't stay for long. Don't worry, I will inform you once there is any change in the Hatching Yin Land. And... I will do my best to protect you!"

After he finished speaking, he flashed and quickly left this place, leaving me alone sitting on the stone bed, staring at the wild fruits on the stone table in a daze.

"I thought that I could take care of each other when I went into the mountains with the Wushushan reserve team, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this. It's really unpredictable in life, and you have to make the best of it!" I sighed.

However, as the saying goes, if you come here, you should make the best of it. Now that it's like this, if I keep complaining, wouldn't it just add trouble to myself?

And now, I can only take one step at a time.

Thinking of this, I let out a long breath, then grabbed a wild fruit and started to eat it.

After eating, I lay on the stone bed with a tired face.

I was very tired at this time. When I lay down, I couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Finally, I could only shake my head helplessly, then got up, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, pinched the seal with my hands, and circulated the Yin meridian.

Then, my mind moved, and my consciousness instantly appeared in the sea of ​​qi.

"You are finally here." Ningshui Yao was standing beside the Styx. When she saw me, she said, "There seems to be something hidden in this Styx. Do you know what it is?"

I ignored her, but squinted my eyes and looked at the Styx carefully. The

Styx has returned to its normal water level. At this moment, the black water of the Styx is constantly surging and rolling, and waves are caused from time to time.

"What is under the Styx?"

I frowned, then jumped up and plunged into the Styx.
