Chapter 23 White Walkers? The Dead!

The road was clear and the pursuers were thrown away. A group of more than 70 people from the Dragon and Phoenix Army maintained their previous speed.

Gradually, the outline of the "deep pit" became clearer.

Waves of cold wind comparable to the dark wind rushed over from the front, and the chill was biting.

The further forward, the colder the chill becomes, not just the bones, but also the human soul seems to be stung by the cold wind.

However, Lu Qingshan always felt that this chill was a bit unusual and familiar, but he just couldn't remember it for the moment.

The only thing that was certain now was that they were very close to the pit.

This is also true,

The war horse galloped, and the deep pit could finally be seen.

It was a deep pit that sank without warning. The cold wind that seemed to be able to tear apart a person's soul surged out from here.

But now as we approach the edge of the pit, the cold wind is so harsh that we can't even keep our eyes open.

"General, there seems to be something in the pit?" Gu Tianyan, who was still sitting behind Lu Qingshan, struggled to open his eyes and looked at the deep pit not far away, and said loudly.

Lu Qingshan looked far into the distance, as if ignoring the cold wind, and then nodded silently.

That's right, there is indeed something in the deep pit.

"Let's go." Lu Qingshan only said one word.

He held the dragon bird in his hand and clamped his legs on the horse.

Others followed.

The further we walked into the pit, the colder the wind became.

There were still some faint sobbing sounds in the wind.

"General, there seems to be something abnormal here," Gu Tianyan's voice contained a tremor that could not be concealed, "I seem to hear someone whispering."

"I heard it too." Lu Qingshan replied, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the deep pit in front of him.

No, it shouldn’t be called a pit, it should be called an abyss.

Because this black depression is so huge that you can't even see the side at a glance.

.......

The officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Phoenix Army who followed Lu Qingshan here thought that they were shouldering the important responsibility of discovering the origin of the White Walkers and even solving their problems. No matter what situation they encountered, they would never frown, even before life and death. in this way.

But now that we have really reached the mouth of the abyss and seen the specific conditions of the abyss...

All the officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Phoenix Army still felt a chill in their hearts from the inside to the outside. Their hearts seemed to be able to jump out of their chests all at once, and their whole bodies were convulsing.

Because the scene in front of me was really too weird and terrifying.

It turns out that the so-called theory of the abyss is not correct either.

This is actually a frozen lake.

A huge, huge lake.

The reason why they thought it was a deep black pit when they looked at it from a distance was because what was flowing under the frozen lake was not water, but... existences like resentful souls.

These resentful souls are all black, floating under the lake like black mist.

They were densely packed and piled together, forming seas and mountains, so that the entire lake was as black as an abyss.

clatter!

Lu Qingshan dismounted and stepped on the ice.

next moment.

human face.

Countless faces.

These resentful spirits are like ferocious animals imprisoned in a zoo. The moment they see people, their faces are pressed against the thick ice of the lake and they look out.

So, at this moment, the entire lake was covered with human faces.

They struggled hard, like grass trying to break through the ground, trying hard to break through the ice.

Most of the faces do not have enough power to break through the ice, but some faces seem to break out of the ice, making the surface of the ice slightly convex.

Tens of thousands of roars, roars, screams and cries mixed together, echoing on the lake and piercing the soul.

"You stepped on me."

"Damn humans!"

"When I come out, I will chop off your head and crush it under my feet."

"Come feel my pain!"

"..."

The resentment penetrated through the ice and reached everyone's brain.

It was as if there were hundreds of evil spirits whispering, crying, roaring, or shouting curses in my ears.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene in front of me as hell.

Even the officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Phoenix Army who were used to seeing life and death turned pale after seeing such a scene.

What exactly are these things? The devil from hell?

Gu Tianyan, who also got off his horse, was stunned.

"What are they?" he murmured.

"They are all dead people, the dead." Lu Qingshan sighed and said slowly.

"Dead person?" Gu Tianyan was speechless.

Lu Qingshan nodded, stretched out his foot at the same time, and stepped hard on the face of a man with a ferocious face and a weird smile across the ice.

There was no reaction on the face, and it still looked at Lu Qingshan fiercely through the ice, showing an increasingly ferocious smile.

"Is this hell?" He wondered.

The moment he stepped onto the lake, the penetrating chill reached its extreme, and Lu Qingshan finally realized where the familiarity of this strange chill came from...

Huang Quan is dead.

It is enough to annihilate the human body's blood and yang energy, and only exists in the underworld.

When Lu Qingshan advanced to Nascent Soul, he obtained the talent [Spirit Erosion] due to refining the origin of the underworld, the Forget River god. From then on, he could ignore the death energy of the underworld. In addition, the rules of the source world sealed his spiritual consciousness and Perception was the reason why he had not reacted before.

It was not until now that the death aura became extremely strong that Lu Qingshan realized it, and thus determined the origin of these faces.

Those who wander in the air of death are only the souls of the dead.

But according to the rules of heaven, the souls of the dead no matter which world they are in will enter the underworld through reincarnation.

Then why are there so many dead souls gathering here, and the death energy that only exists in the underworld is floating away?

You can't say that the underworld also has "branch offices" to expand "business", right?

Who intercepted these dead souls, or is there something secret in this world of origin, or both?

Lu Qingshan unconsciously fell into deep thinking.

boom!

Valley hydrocarbons

At this moment, the ice not far in front of Lu Qingshan bulged upwards and exploded violently.

Hundreds of the dead took the opportunity to escape from the ice.

Sizzle!

However, as soon as most of the dead came out of the ice, they were like snow from an oven, with green smoke rising from their bodies and disappearing in an instant.

——The ice layer not only seals them, but also protects them.

However, although most of the dead turned into smoke and dispersed, there was still one particularly strong dead who withstood the test and his body did not dissipate.

Its dark soul gradually turned into scarlet flesh and blood, naked in front of everyone, its aura was extremely strange and powerful.

Then in the eyes of everyone, it looked around, then stretched out its hand and pressed it slightly.

The exploding and splashing ice shards on the lake immediately floated into the air and stuck to the surface of its body.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a brand new ice crystal armor was covered on its flesh and blood.

As if affected by the coldness of the ice crystal armor, its flesh and blood turned pale at this moment.

This is not over yet.

The remaining ice slag gradually formed a long sword, which was held in its hand.

Ice crystal sword.

White Walkers!

This is how the White Walkers came to be!

White Walkers are really "ghosts", ghosts transformed from the dead!

After the two-piece set of ice crystal armor and ice crystal sword came together, the White Walkers seemed exhausted and seemed to be sealed by something, and the strange and powerful aura on their bodies suddenly disappeared.

However, the newly born White Walkers seemed to have expected this and did not react much.

It twisted its body, let out an excited howl, and flew directly towards Lu Qingshan, ignoring the ice shards shaking off its body.

Lu Qingshan's hand flashed with red light, wiping it across the White Walker's throat.

——After two years of fighting, Lu Qingshan has become perfect at killing White Walkers.

The White Walker fell to the ground with a crash, his body first turning into liquid, and then disappearing into the air.

Only a newly made ice crystal armor, an ice crystal sword and a glass-like heart were left behind.

Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and looked at the place where the White Walker fell.

There, beneath the ice, a new face emerged.

It was the strange ghost that Lu Qingshan had just killed.

It reappeared beneath the surface of the lake.

Human Face opened his eyes, stared at Lu Qingshan, and said angrily and helplessly:

"Just wait, I will remember you. When I accumulate enough power, I will definitely kill you."

——Under the lake, as time goes by, the dead will continue to become stronger, until they are strong enough to break through the ice and become white ghosts.

A very simple process.

"If you were really strong, you wouldn't die." Lu Qingshan didn't care about the threat from the human face and said softly.

Immediately, he stopped looking at these faces.

Lu Qingshan already understood everything.

My initial guess was wrong.

The White Walkers do not come from the outside world. The reason why they are immune to the killing of their own eyes is entirely because they are the dead, the dead who have lived for countless years.

This lake is like a resurrection point.

The dead appear in the lake and continue to accumulate strength. When they are strong enough, they can break through the ice and turn into a strange ghost.

It is precisely because of this that their souls are far more powerful than ordinary people.

With this lake here, the humans can only defeat the White Walkers, but cannot completely kill them.

No wonder the White Walkers clearly died under the First Law in ancient times and are now reappearing.

They are immortal existences.

Under this premise, the number of the dead will only increase.

Even if this time they could kill this group of dead people who had finally accumulated enough power to turn into White Walkers, they would only be treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

When the next batch of dead resurrect thousands of years later, what will happen to human beings at that time?

Another point worth wondering is, when the White Walkers just broke through the ice and came out, where did the power that condensed the ice into swords and armors and disappeared in a flash came from?

However, no matter what, if you want to solve the problem of the White Walkers, you must destroy the lake.

This lake looks unusual at first glance. How to destroy it?

Lu Qingshan thought.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

But before he could be happy, Lu Qingshan frowned again and slowly looked forward.

I don’t know when.

Not far ahead, a cloud of fog appeared, extremely hazy.

In the mist, a strange ghost as tall as a mountain and as tall as five people walked out.

He stood quietly, like a giant standing on the ice field, and like a snow peak rising from the ground.

The ice crystal sword in his hand was enlarged in proportion, so it no longer looked like a sword, but more like a mountain pillar.

His eyes were like two will-o'-the-wisps, suspended in the sky.

The blue glittering ice crystal armor covered his body, carrying an indescribable force of deterrence.

Majestic and gorgeous.

Lu Qingshan and more than seventy Dragon and Phoenix Army officers stood on the lake in front of the White Walkers, with snowflakes in their hair.

The armor on their bodies was still stained with blue bloodstains from the previous battle. It was scratched everywhere, looking shabby and embarrassed.

Their figures seemed extremely small compared to this burly White Walker.

A stark and stark contrast

…………

The burly White Walker's eyes immediately fell on the dragon bird in Lu Qingshan's hand.

"Daoyuan..."

He whispered, with unconcealable ecstasy in his voice.

Then, his eyes wandered up along the dragon bird, and finally settled on Lu Qingshan's face.

The White Walker stared at Lu Qingshan's handsome face, with lingering malice in his eyes, so vicious that it made people's scalp numb.

"Jiejiejie---then it seems you are Lu Qingshan, I've finally waited for you..."
