Chapter 7 Ghost Village
Chapter VII **
"Look what this is?" I pulled out a compass-like thing from my belt.
"What is this?" Everyone looked at me.
"Our guild has the sign of the Eleventh Palace of Hell officially granted by Heaven. This thing is considered a business license, but it has other uses. One of them is to find the weak points of the Yin and Yang world. Originally, this function was to facilitate ghost missions. Entering and exiting the Yin and Yang Realm, it is also used to find some larger loopholes and seal them, but now it can be used to find a way out."
Ling looked at the compass-like thing and asked, "This was given to you by heaven, will it work here?"
"You'll know after you try it." I activated the magic weapon smoothly. I originally thought it would give the correct direction like a compass, but unexpectedly it lit up like a radar. There was a big golden bright spot in the middle of it, which should represent our position and the surrounding areas. The area is completely dark.
Yeyue looked at the board and asked, "Is this useful or useless?"
"Wait a minute, it seems it can be adjusted." I grabbed the knob on the side of the compass and started to turn it slowly. Then the green dot in the center of the graph began to gradually shrink, but the surrounding dark area did not change at all. As I continued to turn, suddenly a red highlight appeared on the edge of the screen.
"What is this?" Yeyue asked.
"Humanity."
"Humanity?"
"It's something that doesn't belong to the underworld. This compass was originally used by the King of Hell. If someone breaks into the underworld, the King of Hell must have some advance warning, right? Anything that doesn't belong to the underworld will be displayed in red."
"Then what does this blue dot mean?" Yeyue pointed to a small dot on the other side.
"The blue color represents the relatively weak area between the yin and yang realms. The brighter the color, the weaker the barrier. If it turns white, it means that any creature can freely move back and forth. Piercing.”
"Why are there still green highlights?" Xiao Longnu asked me.
"The green ones are monsters or ghosts and other creatures that should originally exist in the underworld. If necessary, the specific location of a certain type or creature can be displayed individually according to the instructions of the King of Hell."
Ling said: "Then let's see where the ghost-handed Nobunaga is?"
"Ghost-handed Nobunaga is not a creature of the underworld at all. The red one I saw just now is probably him. There are so many green dots, all of them are monsters with him. But there seem to be many around here The number of scattered demons who do not belong to him seems to be quite large.”
Amynis said: "So we only need to find these blue bright spots to go out?"
"The blue one only represents weakness and requires a certain amount of strength to get out. The white one means it is completely unobstructed. With our strength, as long as it is not dark blue, we should be able to get through."
"Then look for it!"
"I'm adjusting the scale. There doesn't seem to be such a passage nearby. Oh, I found one." Just as he said that, we actually found the target. This is a light spot with only a little light blue color, almost close to white. Judging from the color of this level, it should be relatively easy to pass through. But the only problem is that this light spot is really too far away, and it has to pass through an area with dense green spots before reaching it.
The compass always takes our location as the center of the circle. Although this passage is far away, since it is the first passage that can be passed through, it is the closest. Don’t be afraid if there are obstacles. Anyway, the demons here may not necessarily attack us. Besides, with such a big group of us, if we encounter hundreds of demons, we still can’t tell who will bully whom.
Before going on the road, I tested the summoning phoenix dragon and space gate again, but it still didn't work. Suddenly, I thought of a possibility. I quickly tried to use the Ring of Love to contact Rose. "Honey, where are you?"
"In Germany. What's going on?"
"I have a small situation here. Please send someone to the Yasukuni Shrine to inform Xiaochun to take all my men out of the range of the mountain."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Roses make men worry-free. You never have to explain unnecessary things to her, she can think of everything you think of, and she has arranged things for you in advance that you didn't expect.
Marching through the underworld is no simple matter. A compass can only show our relative position to a target, but not the terrain. We walked so well that we actually came across a lake. To be honest, if it weren't for the red color of the lake, I would have thought it was the Sea of Silence.
"What a big lake!" Yeyue looked around. "We can't see the edge at both ends, and we can't see the shore on the other side. How can we get across?"
"How about flying there?" Amynis asked: "We can airlift everyone here."
I shook my head. "Look at the sky."
Amynis looked at it, but had no reaction. Ling explained to her: "Those yellow clouds are called thunder and fire poison clouds. All targets flying in the air may be struck by lightning, and once you are ignited by lightning, the surrounding yellow clouds will explode immediately with great power. I don’t know how big it is, but after it burns, nothing will be left except poisonous gas. It’s best not to risk passing through it. So far, no more than three people have been able to come out after entering such an area.”
"It's obviously impossible to take a detour." Yeyue added.
I adjusted the compass to see other channels. "No, other than this, the nearest passage is enough for us to run for several days. And the premise is that we can't encounter such landforms on the road again."
Xiao Longnu started tying her hair and walked towards the water: "It seems we have to swim together."
"Hey. You are a dragon and are not afraid of water. What should we do?" Amynis asked.
"Don't you know how to copy? Just like Grandma. How about turning into a mermaid?"
Yeyue said: "I suggest you follow the example of Little Dragon Girl and transform into a dragon."
"Why?" Amynis didn't know why Yeyue asked her to imitate a dragon instead of a mermaid.
"The dragon soars in the sky and travels thousands of miles in a day; the dragon dives in the sea and reaches the whole world."
"Is there any water here?" Ling asked.
I looked back. "The bugs can be retracted into my body and transformed into feathers. The ghost bugs are sent to their space by the Queen. No one else seems to be afraid of water."
"Then get in the water!"
For such a big lake, no one would believe it if there were no monsters in it. Besides, this is the underworld, and the presence of monsters is normal. The absence of monsters would be strange. However, we are not afraid of being attacked. Monsters are also intelligent. We have more than 10,000 people and mounts here. Even if the monsters don't open their eyes, they should not attack such a large group. The only annoying thing is that this damn lake is like a stinking ditch. The red liquid inside that looks like blood is not only extremely slippery, but also smells so fishy that it can make people faint.
After safely crossing that damn lake, we entered a new area. There are many mountains here, but they are not too high, and there are also many plants on the mountains. It seems much safer than the area on the other side of the lake. At least the view here is wider, so we don't have to worry about something suddenly appearing out of nowhere to attack us.
To be honest, except for some faint fog, I even feel that this place is more like the human world than the underworld, because the sky here is actually blue. I have seen more than ten colors of sky in the underworld, even dark blue, but this is the first time I have seen an azure sky. In addition to the terrain, there are many more underworld creatures here than on the other side of the lake, and the density is quite high. They almost all appear in piles. On the compass, you can only see a lot of connected dots. It is impossible to confirm how many there are.
Not far forward, Yeyue suddenly pointed in a direction and said, "Hey, look quickly."
We saw a large area of cultivated land in the distance, and there seemed to be a few figures walking around in it, who seemed to be farmers cultivating the land. But the question is, are there farmers in the underworld? It seems that I have never heard of this situation before! Could it be a demon? Or is it some other reason? Or it's the most unlikely reason - there really are farmers in the underworld.
I was about to lead everyone forward when the Ring of Love suddenly rang. "What's up?"
"It's done."
"Okay, I know."
Rose's work efficiency is very high. I quickly activated the summons, and the Phoenix Dragon Space and Space Gate appeared in front of me at the same time. It seems that my guess was correct. When I was on the mountain where the Yasukuni Shrine is located, I couldn't summon my demon pets because the magic power of the sacred mountain restricted the opening of the space door. The demon pets could enter the space passage, but the exit could not be opened, so I was unable to summon my demon pets. Later, the demon pets ran over by themselves from other roads, but I arrived in the underworld, but I still couldn't summon them. This is not because the sacred mountain restricted my summons, but because the space on the demon pet side was restricted. The entrance cannot be opened, so I still cannot summon them from my side. As long as they leave the scope of the sacred mountain and are not restricted on both sides, the summons will be normal.
I first talked about the general situation with the magic pets who came later, and then let the extra magic pets enter the Phoenix Dragon space. The evil spirit knight was also sent into the space gate by me. I only have Yeyue, Ling, Amynis, Xiaolongnu, Bailang and twenty-one bell knights left by my side. Of course, the mount Yeying is indispensable. This team is not too big and has certain deterrence capabilities. No matter whether the creatures over there are hostile or peaceful, there will be no problem.
