Chapter 22 Monster Among Monsters

The more common things are, the easier they are to be forgotten, just like we usually don't notice the air around us, but in fact they always surround us. The Sea of ​​Silence is also called the Sea of ​​Sinking, the Sea of ​​Death, Ruoshui, the Styx, and the Endless Sea. Anyway, they are all the same place. It refers to the endless black ocean at the entrance to hell that is said to never be crossed. It is the world's Extreme negative energy condensed from all the forces of darkness and sinking. Its powerful negative attributes can swallow up all light. Any positive energy in front of it is as fragile as a candle in the flood. Just a splash of water will do the trick. None left. As for the number of those things...if you think about it with your toes, it's simply infinite.

"Oh, I forgot such an important thing. Thank you Yan Jun for reminding me."

"Haha, go quickly!" The Lord of the Tenth Palace of Hell smiled brightly and turned around to leave. I was no longer polite and turned back to my own Palace of Hell. Then I ran to the Sea of ​​Silence, the endless black color. There are no waves on the sea, and the entire sea is as stable as a mirror. But if you dare to take a step forward, you are guaranteed to know what the most terrifying thing in the world is. This sea water is the liquid form of negative energy. Compared with it, the ten thousand-year corpse poison and evil miasma are as harmless as the spring breeze.

After pausing for a while, I began to take out various bottles from my body and carefully identified them, and finally selected a purple gourd I didn't know when I got it. There is no way, Fenglong will automatically collect dropped items for me, so I can often dig out a bunch of weird things from my body that I don't even know when I put them in. This purple gourd obviously belongs to the category of such "unknown objects", but after a brief look at the nature of my subordinates, I determined that this is the most suitable thing to contain the sea water of the Sea of ​​Silence.

Although it looks like water, the Sea of ​​Silence is formed by the condensation of negative energy after all. Not everything can be put in it. If you get a glass bottle to hold the seawater in the Sea of ​​Silence, it would be like using an iron barrel to hold sulfuric acid. Almost, it is guaranteed to burn down in just a few minutes without even leaving any dregs. The gourd in my hand now belongs to the fairy family. Its main function is to hold things, and its main part does not really come into contact with the substances inside. It is actually equivalent to a water pump, which can move the outside substances It is sucked into a compressed space inside it. This space exists independently and is surrounded by a space barrier instead of the outer shell of the gourd. Although Ruoshui in the Sea of ​​Silence has a relatively strong corrosive effect, it will not corrode space, so this gourd is not afraid of it.

I sucked it through the gourd for more than ten minutes and finally filled it completely. Because I didn't know how much water the king needed to evolve, so I had to fill it with as much as possible. When I returned to Heaven, Taishang Laojun was already waiting for me. He was not surprised at all to see me showing up so quickly. "Ruoshui got it?"

"You knew earlier that what I needed was Ruoshui?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I send you to hell?"

Well, after working for a long time, I already knew what I needed, but in the end, I was asked to make a riddle and made me go around in such a big circle. But at least I finally got it back. "It's all in this gourd. See if it's enough. If it's not enough, I'll go back and fill it up." Naturally, Ruoshui is something that ordinary people can't touch, but I can get as much as I want. Anyway, we have the God of Hell with us. Moreover, the body of a super devil is not afraid of the corrosion of Ruoshui at all. If an ordinary person stands on the edge of the Silent Sea for a while, everything will be corroded by the Ruoshui vapor on the sea.

When Taishang Laojun saw the gourd I handed out, he didn't take it. Instead, he flicked it with a whisk, and a small hole opened automatically on the top of the stove in front of him. "Pour Ruoshui in, be careful not to go too fast. Stop immediately if I tell you to."

"I got it." I quickly climbed up to the stove and started adding Ruoshui. Because I wasn't sure about the amount at first, I only dared to add it drop by drop. After looking at it for a while, Taishang Laojun felt that the king's absorption speed was pretty good, so he asked me Speeded up a bit.

I accelerated the flow rate of Ruoshui to a thin water line, and then kept it running at this speed for a few minutes. After that, Taishang Laojun suddenly shouted: "Turn it down a little, it's almost saturated!" I quickly turned down the flow rate to In the previous water drop state, after waiting for more than ten seconds, Taishang Laojun suddenly shouted: "Stop quickly." I was so frightened that I quickly cut off the flow and took the gourd aside, but Taishang Laojun asked me to add two more The drops went in, so I had to run back. Finally, I added seven or eight drops before Taishang Laojun let me come down. "Okay, it's almost done now." Taishang Laojun said: "This subordinate of yours has great potential. If he hadn't followed you, I would have accepted him as a disciple."

"What? You want to accept him as your disciple?"

"That's right. This guy's willpower is thousands of times stronger than the average soul, especially his unyielding spirit, which is comparable to Xing Tian back then! Oh, by the way, do you have a black crystal on your body?"

I quickly touched out a black crystal the size of an egg from my body. "Is this ok?"

"Want the best."

"The best?" I thought for a moment and asked, "Which aspect do you mean by the best? Volume? Energy intensity? Or stability?"

"Stability is the most important thing, followed by energy intensity, and finally volume. Just take the three factors into consideration and find the best one you can. However, in terms of volume, it should be at least a little larger than one person. More is better. And it must be a whole piece, not broken."

"I always carry this thing with me." As I said that, I pulled out a spindle-shaped crystal column that was almost ten meters high and more than three meters in diameter from Fenglong Space. "Can you see this?"

Taishang Laojun appraised it, then nodded and said: "Yes, this is the best. Why do you still carry such a large piece of crystal with you?"

"This is my magic storage. You also know what my attributes are. This black crystal is like an energy block to me. Of course I have to find a bigger enough block!"

"Then you are ready. Your subordinate has almost finished upgrading. I will guide him into this crystal right away. Then you will immediately cut a slit in your hand to let your blood flow to the crystal. You must quickly leave here with the crystal and go to the underworld. The energy of heaven is not suitable to complete the final shedding process." Taishang Laojun paused here and added: "Actually, put him there It is most appropriate for Ruoshui to complete the final stage by soaking him in water, but now he is simply a huge mass of dark energy essence. If you put him in Ruoshui, he will definitely attract many monsters in Ruoshui. If you are not afraid of him You can try it after being eaten, but completing the final transformation process in that environment will definitely make his strength a big step forward. This choice is yours to make, I am just giving you a suggestion."

"I understand. I will protect him from completing his evolution in Ruoshui."

"Now that you've decided, let's get started." After Taishang Laojun said that, he suddenly pointed at the stove in front of him. The top of the stove was blown away with a sudden bang, and a large group of purple flames followed the stove. The water spurted out, almost reaching the roof, and then a black humanoid figure covered in purple flames suddenly flew out of the stove. Taishang Laojun immediately shouted to me: "Hurry and tell him to go into the crystal."

I quickly shouted to the phantom: "King." When the phantom first came out, it seemed to be floating there in a daze with unclear thinking. When I called his name, his head turned around instantly as if he was electrocuted. A pair of green eyes suddenly became extremely bright in the purple-black flames, as if he had regained consciousness. "King, come here quickly and get into the crystal. Quickly."

The black shadow was stunned for a moment when he heard my words, then focused his eyes on the crystal, and immediately rushed towards the crystal. The moment the black shadow hit the crystal, something unexpected happened to me. The black shadow got in smoothly like a water droplet hitting a sponge, but the layer of flames covering his body seemed to hit the crystal. The wall suddenly shattered like charcoal, and a large amount of flames flew everywhere, instantly igniting a large area of ​​the ground nearby, and many of them even touched my body. Just as I was about to put out the fire, I heard Taishang Laojun shouting: "Don't worry about the fire, it will bleed immediately, take it away, Mingyan will be handled by me."

I nodded and immediately cut my palms, picked up the crystal, and ran out. The flames on my body didn't do anything to me. After all, I also have evil attributes, and the dark flames have no lethality to me. After rushing out of heaven, he rushed all the way to hell and threw the black crystal into Ruoshui. It was like a red-hot iron being put into ice water. There was a chirping sound and white smoke began to rise crazily from the surface of the crystal. , the surrounding Ruoshui started rolling crazily as if it was boiling. I stood on the beach and had no idea what to do. I could only watch blankly. Fortunately, the smoke disappeared quickly. Instead, the nearby Ruoshui seemed to have found a loophole and all gathered here. The position where the crystal fell into the water actually formed a huge vortex. Looking at the speed, it seemed that the crystal was connected to another space.

"Master." A reminder brought me back to my senses. Because Taishang Laojun said that this process might attract the evil creatures in Ruoshui, I released Ling as early as when I first entered hell. Ling's strength will be strengthened in a place like this. Compared with outside, Ling's current combat effectiveness is almost more than ten times the normal value. With her here, our safety should be guaranteed.

Ling’s reminder made me notice the sudden appearance of waves on the distant sea. Since there are usually no waves in the Sea of ​​Silence, this sudden huge wave is obviously not a natural phenomenon. I contacted Taishang Laojun for a reminder. This was probably caused by monsters. . Sure enough, when approaching the coast, the water surface suddenly swelled upwards, and it was obvious that something was about to come out.

"Covering fire." I turned around and said, I jumped towards the object rising out of the water. However, I didn't expect that the size of the object was obviously beyond my expectation. I originally thought it would be as big as a giant dragon at most. Who knew that when I jumped up, I discovered that the part of the thing rising out of the water seemed to be a little larger than expected. When I flew above it, the thing had almost turned into a small island, and I compared it with it. He looked like an ant, but because the water on the thing was still flowing downwards, he couldn't see his image for the time being. He only knew that the thing was super big.

Although the speed of the water flowing down was affected by the size of the thing, the water would still flow. When all the water flowed down, the appearance of the thing was also revealed, but I still couldn't see its full picture clearly. , because when Ruoshui was all gone, I only saw a huge black hole covering me.

"Explosion - Dark Light Arrow." Accompanied by Ling's clear spell, a black arrow suddenly flashed from below me and hit the monster's huge chin, and then I only saw the monster's open mouth. A large ball of green flames suddenly burst out. Apparently Ling's blow just now penetrated the monster's jaw.

"Ouch..." A thunderous roar suddenly exploded in front of me. The huge sonic boom was like a shock wave, and it hit me as I flew forward. I turned over a dozen somersaults in the air and then fell back. The ground from which to jump.

"Damn, what the hell is this thing?" After landing, I really saw the whole monster. The appearance of this thing is quite special. At first glance, it looks like a big monster standing on its two hind legs. It's a lizard, but its forelimbs are not lizard claws, but rather close to the shape of human hands, but the sharp claws on the fingertips are definitely not comparable to human nails. The head of that thing is also very strange. At first glance, it looks like a bull's head, but upon closer inspection, it is closer to the head of a giant dragon. It's just that because its horns are facing forward, it looks more like a bull's head. In addition to the lizard-like body and weird head, this thing actually has wings on its back, but they look really small and disproportionately small. It is probably impossible to fly with those wings, but its tail is surprisingly long. The body is out of the water, and most of the tail is still dragging in Ruoshui behind.

"How's this thing's defense?" Ling asked when she saw me falling next to her.

"You have just penetrated his lower jaw, but there are no scales there, so other places may not be as easy to hit."

"Understood."

While we were talking, the monster had recovered from the pain of being shot through its jaw. After seeing the two of us who hurt him, he suddenly roared in anger again. Originally, I thought he would wash up on the shore and attack us, but who knew that he opened his mouth and started to gather energy, obviously intending to use his ultimate move to kill us all at once, but before we could make any reaction, we saw the silence behind the monster. Suddenly there was a bigger wave on the sea than before, and then we felt that the surroundings suddenly turned dark, and then an extremely huge monster head suddenly flew out of the sea, bit the monster that was gathering energy, and then raised its head He opened his mouth twice and swallowed the monster. Ling and I stood on the shore and watched as the monster that had just planned to attack us was swallowed up. We were so frightened that we didn't know what to do. You must know that the monster that attacked us just now is about the size of a small island, and the monster behind can actually swallow it whole in one bite. So how big must this guy be?
