Chapter 728: There Is No Inn on Huangquan Road
People often say "there is no inn on Huangquan Road". This sentence has various interpretations, but the most straightforward is that this road is not easy to walk. Since "no inn" is emphasized, it means that for the "people" who walk this road, inns may be needed on this road, which means that the road to hell is long and difficult. If it only takes a day or two to walk this road, or you can fly to the other side at once, then who needs an inn.
Therefore, although the people on Ye Zan's side were also very surprised by the strange feeling that this kind of mana was suppressed after stepping on Huangquan Road, they didn't think about anything else. If you can't fly, you can't fly. The three teams in front can all walk over, and my side is no worse than anyone else. It's no big deal to move your legs and feet.
However, just as everyone was about to move on, Ye Zan retreated from the Huangquan Road again, and said to everyone: "Wait a minute, just in case, let me make some preparations before we walk this Huangquan Road .”
Hearing Ye Zan's words, although everyone was curious and puzzled, they didn't have any objections. After all, they had seen too many magical methods of Ye Zan. So, everyone turned back and followed Ye Zan back to the gate of hell with eyes full of curiosity, watching what method Ye Zan was going to come up with.
Ye Zan returned to the gate of hell, raised his hand and held the jade ball up into the air. Following the beam of light falling from the jade ball, tall insect soldiers appeared around everyone. These insect soldiers are the lowest-level predators of the Zerg, with sickle-shaped forearms like praying mantises, mouthparts like large iron pincers, and the carapace on their bodies has a metallic luster. Although the strength of these insect soldiers is only at the foundation level, but in the absence of mana, I am afraid that they are not weaker than these primordial spirits.
Ye Zan not only released the insect soldiers, but also opened up his own different-dimensional space, allowing some insect soldiers to enter the different-dimensional space.
On the road to the Underworld, with his mana suppressed, Ye Zan could no longer sacrifice the jade ball, but the opening of another dimension would not be affected. It is impossible for Ye Zan to take the brigade of insect soldiers on the road together, so after leaving a certain amount of guard force, it is most suitable for the other insect soldiers to be placed in a different dimension.
In this way, if there is any threat on Huangquan Road, and the insect guards outside can't resist, Ye Zan can also release the insect soldiers in the different dimension. Although the space in the different dimension is limited, Ye Zan has already moved many things into the space of the jade ball after having the jade ball, so it is no problem to place one or two hundred insect soldiers now.
The people around Ye Zan were no strangers to these insect soldiers. After all, Ye Zan had publicly used the insect race soldiers more than once. Especially before, when blocking the three coalition forces, whether it was the chaos of the demonic way, Zhenjun Suying, or Zhenjun Wenhua and others who were opponents at that time, they had all seen Zerg Dao soldiers.
"These... are the Taoist soldiers trained by fellow Taoists." Zhenjun Wenhua asked with a complex expression.
Although in the previous battle, the Zerg Dao soldiers on Ye Zan's side did not play a critical role. However, Zhenjun Wenhua and others are quite envious of having such a team of Taoist soldiers.
Since the catastrophe 10,000 years ago, the cultivating civilization in the realm has gone downhill as a whole, and even the top sects have difficulty gathering a team of Taoist soldiers. Moreover, this is not just a matter of making up the numbers, it also involves the cultivation of Dao soldiers. The resources that need to be poured in are not a small amount for any sect.
Not to mention the second-rate sects of Zhenjun Wenhua and others, even those top sects with ancient traditions have long since stopped cultivating Taoist soldiers in their plans. In their view, with those resources for cultivating Dao soldiers, it is better to concentrate on cultivating a few outstanding disciples.
"Oh, that's right." Ye Zan responded casually.
In fact, the Zerg Soldiers released by Ye Zan are still different from the real Zerg Dao Soldiers. In the brains of these insect soldiers, smart chips have been built in, which can enhance their intelligence to a certain extent, and at the same time, it is also convenient for him to use auxiliary chips to control them.
And the real Zerg Taoist soldiers, in order to form a large formation under the control of the brain worm, cannot have a built-in smart chip, otherwise it will easily cause a conflict of consciousness.
In addition, these predator insect soldiers are specially trained for single-handed combat, and are better at face-to-face direct combat. Their bodies are more flexible, and their attack and defense capabilities have also been greatly enhanced. It can be said that they are standard killing machines. If these looters and Zerg soldiers were to face each other, the Zerg soldiers might not be able to last even a minute. However, if the Zerg Dao soldiers are allowed to form a large formation, no matter how many such predators there are, it will be useless.
Qinghong Zhenjun glanced at the insect soldiers around, nodded and said: "That's right, with Dao soldiers like my virtuous brothers, even if there are any obstacles on the road to the underworld, we can go straight through."
Although Yuanshen Almighty is powerful, ninety-nine percent of his strength is supported by mana. Without this body of mana, it would be tantamount to falling from the sky to the ground.
Although the powerful body of the primordial spirit is stronger than those of ordinary people, it is not so strong that it is indestructible. Without mana protection, Yuanshen might be injured and bleed when hit by a sword, and even die due to exhaustion of body functions.
Everyone didn't have much fear before, it was just because three teams had already walked through Huangquan Road, they didn't think they couldn't make it. At the same time, the past incidents of the three teams in front also made them subconsciously ignore whether there might be any threats on this road to hell.
But now, with these ten predator insect soldiers and Ye Zan's preparations in a different dimension, it is indeed a great guarantee for everyone. After all, there are no absolutes in the world, and no one can guarantee that there is really no such event, maybe the other party deliberately let the three teams go, just waiting to deal with Ye Zan and his group.
It's really not impossible, what kind of idea the three teams are playing, and what is the purpose of Ye Zan's team, presumably the Tianyu Daozu has long been aware of it. Therefore, among these four teams, Ye Zan's team is probably the most threatening to Tianyu Daozu's plan. In particular, Ye Zan's performance along the way and the various miraculous methods he used were enough to make him feared by Tianyu Daozu.
After getting ready, Ye Zan put the jade ball into his body, and closed the door of that different dimension, leaving only ten predator insect soldiers outside, and then said to everyone: "Keep everyone waiting for a long time, let's Let's go now."
Ten predator insect soldiers, guarding Ye Zan and his party, made the sound of "shua, shua, shua" footsteps, and set foot on the ground of Huangquan Road again after leaving the gate of hell. The moment they set foot on Huangquan Road, everyone also experienced once again the feeling that the mana in their bodies was suppressed all of a sudden, but they felt more at ease than before.
Ye Zan and his party, although they have no mana to use, but after all, their bodies are stronger than ordinary people, so the speed of their journey is not too slow. It took them more than three hours to travel so quickly for hundreds of miles. Judging from the results given by the high-altitude detectors, they had already traveled almost a quarter of the distance.
It has to be said that the Huangquan Road does need an inn, which means that Ye Zan and the others have good physical strength. If it is those ordinary dead souls, this Huangquan Road is really not easy to walk.
Moreover, in addition to the long distance, this Huangquan Road is not a smooth road. The road is bumpy and full of thorns, and at the same time it has to go uphill and downhill constantly. It can be said that just walking the Huangquan Road is already a punishment for most "people". No wonder it is emphasized that "no inn".
On both sides of Huangquan Road, there are no lofty mountains, nor dark dense forests, but seemingly endless prairie.
But, why did Ye Zan and the others prefer to take Huangquan Road instead of going around? It is because the space on both sides is actually extremely distorted, and it looks clear at a glance. If you walk in, you will be lost in it, or even torn apart by the space distortion.
It is said that when a dead soul walks on Huangquan Road, he will see the past of his life from both sides of the road. If it is said that walking Huangquan Road is a "physical" test, then the "scenery" on both sides of Huangquan Road is a test or whip for the soul.
Of course, there is also a saying that this is the last chance for the deceased to look back at his life. After all, when I arrived at Naihe Bridge, I had to drink Mengpo soup and forget all the memories of my previous life.
However, it may be because the underworld has been destroyed, or Ye Zan and others are still strangers, anyway, they have not seen their past along the way.
Even Ye Zan and others had to choose to stop and breathe a sigh of relief after walking on such a road for so long. However, this stop was broken. Although there was no ghost messenger to urge them to beat them, they were surprised to see that they and others were retreating rapidly.
"Can't stop, if you stop, you will go backwards!" Seeing such a scene, Ye Zan didn't know what it meant, and quickly reminded everyone.
Of course, even without Ye Zan's reminder, everyone had already discovered this, so they had to cheer up and move forward again. But this stop and walk inevitably caused a time lag, and those who stepped a second later were pulled away by a long distance, and the tight formation of the crowd was torn apart at once.
"Be careful!" Ye Zan noticed this problem, and immediately reminded everyone again. He didn't know what would happen in this situation, but it felt like something might happen. At least, if it was him who saw the formation of the target scattered, he would definitely think that this was an opportunity to make a move.
Sure enough, right after Ye Zan yelled "Be careful", countless black shadows rushed out from both sides of Huangquan Road.
These black shadows all looked close to human shapes, but their bodies were distorted out of shape, and each of them seemed to be put together from the body fragments of many people. Some black shadows can even see many faces, while some black shadows have no faces, some black shadows have arms on both legs, some black shadows are half big and half small, and so on.
Obviously, these black shadows must be the souls of the dead who have been buried in the spaces on both sides for countless years.
"Be careful, don't stop and defend against the enemy while moving forward!" Ye Zan reminded everyone, and at the same time gave instructions to the insect soldiers to resist the shadows for everyone.
The ten predator insect soldiers, who had been guarding both sides of the crowd, immediately swung their sickles at the black shadows gushing out after receiving Ye Zan's order. Fortunately, these dead souls and ghosts are not "immune to physical attacks", and they will also be chopped into pieces when facing the sickle cut by the insect soldiers.
As for the others, of course, they were not idle either. While following Ye Zan's reminder, they continued to move forward while waving their weapons to fend off the enemy. After all, ten predator insect soldiers are not enough to block all angles, there will always be some ghosts and ghosts leaking in.
Although everyone couldn't use mana, they could still perform martial arts without any problem, and their martial arts were definitely not a show. Therefore, although these ghosts came in large numbers, although they startled them, it was only a shock.
Ye Zan led the crowd, under the cover of the looters and insect soldiers, continued to move forward along the road while fighting fiercely with the ghosts that kept pouring out. If there were no predators and insect soldiers, maybe they would have suffered some damage this time, but Ye Zan is a life-saving person in essence.
Although there are only ten predator insect soldiers, the space on Huangquan Road is so big. Even if there are millions of ghosts around, there is still so much room to fight Ye Zan and others. These ten predator insect soldiers who are good at fighting are enough to build a solid defense around Ye Zan and others.
A group of people walked like this while killing, and they didn't know how long time passed along the way, and they didn't know how many ghosts they killed. Even the predator insect soldiers, with Ye Zan's constant replenishment, are no longer the original ten.
You know, Ye Zan had prepared nearly 200 bug soldiers in a different dimension before. And after such a long fight, apart from the ten insect soldiers outside, there are very few insect soldiers left in the different dimension. It can be seen that Ye Zan and others have come all the way, although they have not suffered any injuries, it does not mean that this journey is easy.
At this time, the people around Ye Zan were really very fortunate, because Ye Zan had made such a first-hand preparation before. Otherwise, with people like them alone, it would be impossible to survive a few deaths under the condition that mana was suppressed.
"Everyone, work harder, we will be at Naihe Bridge soon!" Ye Zan said to everyone, releasing all the insect soldiers in the different dimension. Of course, after all the consumption, there are only six insect soldiers left in the different dimension space.
However, now that it has reached the end of Huangquan Road, with the addition of these six insect soldiers, it has played a big role. These six insect soldiers rushed forward, waving their huge sickle arms, like cutting leeks, and chopped down the ghosts blocking the way one by one. And Ye Zan and others, under the protection of ten other insect soldiers, rushed forward immediately, and saw a big river appearing in sight, which was the legendary Wangchuan River. rw
