Chapter 573: Ghosts in the Abyss

Mu You took out this card from the sundries in the container.

The card was wrapped in a special material like a plastic seal, and the energy inside was almost not lost, so it could be preserved intact.

As for the card itself, it was just a very ordinary "Thunder Ball Technique".

Of course, only the mystic can make and use the mystic card, so this card can only be left by Taurus or Gemini.

As for who it is, we will know it after a try.

Mu You took out a deck of tarot cards from the ring, stretched out his hand and spread it, and all the cards floated up together, flying quickly in front of him, connecting head to tail, forming a circular formation.

And the mystic card in Mu You's hand was placed in the center of the circular formation by him, and it also automatically floated like other cards.

After a while, three consecutive cards separated from the card formation one by one, gathered in the center of the formation, overlapped each other, and rotated rapidly.

This technique was an auxiliary divination formation that Vivian had shown him when he was just starting to learn divination, which can greatly increase the range and accuracy of divination.

At that time, he could only watch the fun, and he couldn't even understand the divination.

However, now, he has completely inherited Linglong's memory.

In the four thousand years in the Bitter Garden, although Linglong was not as diligent as the herbalist, she never gave up practicing divination. After four thousand years, no matter how poor her foundation was, she had reached an extremely high level.

The card array slowly stopped after rotating in the air for one or two minutes. In the short interval, Mu You had already interpreted the meaning of the card array.

As expected, this secret card was indeed made by Taurus.

The result of the divination was located under a deep-sea rock formation thousands of kilometers away from Moscow.

This extremely remote location, if you don't use divination, you may not be able to find it in a few years. I don't know how Taurus found this place.

Mu You said something to the receptionist, walked out of the warehouse, registered briefly outside, and took the card away.

An hour later, the herbalist received the message that Mu You asked someone to convey, and returned to Earth from the ancient well in Fuya's hometown.

"Have you found the location?" The herbalist climbed out of the well outside K City and saw Mu You waiting there.

"Found it, in Russia." Mu You shook the map in his hand. The divination just now only calculated an approximate location. The specific location will have to wait until we get to the local area to do precise divination.

"Then let's go." The herbalist nodded, not feeling surprised. Space cracks can exist in any corner of the earth. It's good that they didn't spawn in the magma in the earth's core.

After receiving the herbalist, Mu You was directly teleported to the vicinity of the black hole in Europe, flew to the target sea area, and performed several detailed divinations on the seabed again before finally determining the location.

The whole process took the two of them most of the day.

When the two finally found the cave in the prophecy, it was already evening that day.

In the cold cave, Mu You and the herbalist landed one after another and landed on the slippery ground.

This underground space under the deep sea was illuminated by the fluorescent minerals on the rock walls on both sides.

As soon as the two entered the mine, they immediately noticed the narrow blue space crack at the end of the cave.

This space crack, less than half a meter long, grew abruptly in the rock peak of the stalactites in front. The entangled and twisted space turbulence in it was like a blue eye, peeping at the world on the other side through the crack.

A few meters in front of the passage, a corpse that had almost rotted away fell to the ground, still maintaining the posture of climbing towards the crack, with one hand reaching out to the crack in front.

Just by looking at the state of the corpse, Mu You could imagine how desperate he was before his death. It was only a few meters away from the way to life, but it seemed like a natural chasm that could never be crossed.

Mu You and the herbalist walked forward, and no one paid attention to the corpse on the ground, and walked straight to the front of the crack.

This crack was not actually fully open, and it was obviously different from the cracks seen in Japan before. At that time, the space cracks in Japan could directly see the scenes of the world on the other side through the gap.

Inside this crack, there was only a deep and swirling space turbulence, which was half open.

"It's a bit dangerous, but it should be okay to pass through." The herbalist said after looking for a while.

Mu You also nodded. The two of them were now well aware of the load they could bear. At least the space turbulence in front of them would not kill them.

"I'll go over and take a look."

After Mu You finished speaking, he switched to the vampire skin, activated the "speed", and then activated the Fool Card on the spot.

Under the double acceleration, everything in front of him became extremely slow, and the movement trajectory of the space turbulence in front of him was also clearly presented in front of him.

Mu You observed for a few seconds, waited for a suitable opportunity, and directly stepped in, quickly sinking into the crack.

When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared in another space, unscathed.

As soon as he landed, he immediately felt an extremely strong pressure, which was added to his body from all directions, as if countless sandbags were hanging all over his body.

Mu You frowned and tried to raise his right hand and clench his fist. With this level of gravity, people with weaker physique and strength attributes would have difficulty moving here.

He also had the divine bone fused, and with the doubled properties of the vampire skin, he was not affected too much.

A few seconds later, the herbalist also escaped from the crack behind him, rolled over, and landed beside Mu You. He immediately felt the pressure as soon as he landed.

His attributes were far inferior to Mu You's. His every move was obviously delayed, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, with sweat on his forehead and difficulty getting up.

Mu You was not in a hurry. He stopped and waited for a while. The herbalist finally adapted to it and could get up and move normally, but his movements were still obviously a little stiff.

"This pressure is at least seven levels!" The herbalist said firmly.

He had personally gone down to the abyss before, and explored the farthest to the third level.

And based on the changes in gravity at each level, he could roughly estimate it. This should be between the seventh and eighth levels, which is the lowest level of the abyss that creatures can explore at present.

Going down further, it is not an environment where normal creatures can survive. Unless it is a creature with extreme stress resistance, it is possible to try.

After initially adapting to the pressure, the two had time to look up and look at the environment.

In front of them was an underground space with a very rugged terrain, as if it was a wound torn open by some huge force. The towering rock peaks and deep rifts crisscrossed, forming an irregular and dangerous landscape. The rift was filled with rolling lava flows, and the hot red magma flashed dangerous light in the darkness.

The air was filled with the stench of sulfur and the smell of damp soil, which made people feel dull and suffocated. From time to time, there were piercing roars and shrill screams coming from the depths of the abyss, which made people instinctively shudder.

"Roar!"

Before the two of them took a few steps, a roar suddenly sounded, and an abyss demon dog with two heads and horns on its forehead rushed out of the darkness of the rock wall, baring its teeth and claws, and rushed towards the two of them.

But before it could get close to the two of them, it was slapped to the other side by the giant arm summoned by Mu You.

"Awoo..."

The demon dog wailed, rolled to the ground, stumbled several times, and hurriedly got up with its head shaking. It continued to bar its teeth at the two people, but did not dare to rush up again. It was obvious that it had already felt that the two people were much stronger than it.

The two did not bother with a dog and continued to explore forward.

Along the way, more and more abyss creatures emerged, in various forms, including jellyfish-shaped soft-bodied creatures, lion-like beasts, but more were various ciliates, and abyss demons with long horns and wings.

The ground was covered with beast bones, and there was a constant crisp sound when stepped on, and it was impossible to hide.

The two walked along the ground on the beast bones, and the demons and abyss monsters on both sides stared at them, roaring in unison.

Finally, one of the humanoid demons couldn't help it first, jumped up, and launched a sneak attack on the two.

And this was like a signal, and countless little demons behind rushed out together and pounced on the two.

Mu You directly opened the divine skin, and tore the two little demons in front of him with one hand each. The herbalist also condensed an arc sword in his hand and stabbed the humanoid demon...

After a while, the few remaining little demons screamed and fled the scene, and the other abyss creatures watching around them also retracted their heads in fear, not daring to show any more provocative aura.

At this moment, there were a lot of demon limbs lying in a mess on the spot, and the ground was already stained red by the blood of the monsters. Mu You threw the demon head in his hand and glanced coldly at the surroundings.

The monsters around that were still roaring suddenly became silent and retreated silently.

From the eyes of these monsters at the beginning, the two could feel that the bloody jungle law was followed here, and the rule of the strong preying on the weak was played to the extreme. Once you show a little weakness or retreat in front of these monsters, you will be immediately regarded as a weakling until you are eaten up.

So the two did not hold back and dismembered this wave of monsters in the most bloody way. This demonstration finally made these abyss monsters restrained a little.

Then the two walked along the way, and the demons and abyss creatures along the way all consciously retreated far away and made way.

Soon, the two saw the platform deep in this space, on which stood a crystal throne.

On the cliff opposite the throne, there was a projected screen connected, and the screen was playing a video in a loop. The movie was a very old movie - "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village".

The only audience sitting on the throne at this moment was a woman with black hair and white clothes. From the outline of her figure, she looked very much like the Taurus they had seen, but the woman was motionless at this time, leaning on the back of the chair a little crookedly, as if she was asleep.

Mu You and the herbalist looked at each other and walked forward quickly, but until the two came to the throne, the woman on the seat still did not move.

The herbalist stepped forward and lifted the woman's drooping black hair. Under the hair was a pale face with bulging eye sockets and no blood on her face. She didn't look like a living person.

The herbalist frowned and put his finger to the woman's neck...

"Dead..." The herbalist shook his head at Mu You. It was not just dead, but had been dead for a long time.

"No way? Are we late?"

Mu You looked strange. When Jinniu appeared for the last time, although he looked injured, he was still full of energy. How could he die after just over a month?

"You are indeed late. According to the agreement, you are more than a thousand years late!"

At this time, a familiar voice came from the sky.

Both of them turned back subconsciously and looked at the screen on the other side of the mountain wall.

In the picture, a woman with black hair and white clothes was standing in front of the old house in the mountain village, looking directly at the two of them, and then she crawled out of the screen... First an arm, then a head covered with long hair, body, legs, feet...

A few seconds later, a ghostly long-haired woman really appeared in front of the mountain wall, floating towards the throne, and finally sank directly into the female corpse on the throne.

And with the influx of ghosts, the originally lifeless eyes of the female corpse suddenly moved, and then the limbs of the body squirmed, like a puppet, from the legs, to the body, and then to the arms. In a crackling sound of bones colliding, she stood up stiffly, put her hands in front of her neck, moved her head, and finally regained some vitality.

"Taurus?" Mu You asked.

"It's me." The woman nodded, and the voice coming out of her mouth was exactly the voice of Taurus at the meeting.

Mu You was ashamed. Your appearance was really shocking. If you didn't know, you would think that Sadako was filming a sequel.

"Did you know I was coming?" Mu You recalled what Jinniu had said just now, saying that he was "more than a thousand years late", which made him a little confused.

"Of course, when the Mechanical Heart fell from the abyss a few days ago, I felt it." The woman said.

"You also know the Mechanical Heart?" Mu You was surprised.

"Of course, in fact, in the past long time, I have been the operator of the Mechanical Heart. I came into contact with the Mechanical Heart much earlier than you." The woman said.

"Who... are you?" Mu You asked.

"I'm not a human, I'm a ghost from the ghost tribe... Of course, now I'm just a grounded spirit without a body."

After the woman finished speaking, she held up a strand of hair in front of her chest: "As for this body, I picked it up. A few hundred years ago, a human explorer mistakenly entered here. I wanted to ask her for help, but before I could open my mouth, she was scared to death by me. I simply borrowed her body to help her live."

The woman moved her stiff arms and said with emotion: "The power of ghosts can easily control objects in the air, but without a physical body, many things are still inconvenient..."

"Ghost tribe..."

Mu You tried hard to recall the name of this race, but couldn't remember any information: "I haven't heard of it..."

"It's normal not to have heard of it, because the ghost tribe is the first extinct race in the Star Spirit Realm. It disappeared from the Star Spirit Realm tens of thousands of years ago. There is no record of it in your era..." said the woman.

"The first race... So, you have also entered the Garden of Eden?" Mu You asked.

The first extinct race is the period when the Protoss was just exterminated. Because there was no one to maintain the Star Spirit Realm, the races began to die out one by one.

The underground robots’ duty is to preserve those extinct races. The first extinct ghost race must have been connected to the Garden of Eden.

“I was imprisoned in the Garden of Eden for tens of thousands of years. It was not until this era that I escaped with the help of outsiders…” Taurus said.

“What happened?” Mu You asked about the business.

Since she was the first creature to enter the Garden of Eden, she should know all the ins and outs of the Garden of Eden.
