Chapter 622 Soul-Guiding Bell
With a pop.
Zhao Mu passed through a thick layer of bubbles and entered a huge cavity.
Unlike the high temperature and high pressure environment outside, the temperature in the cavity was very low, and it dropped from tens of thousands of degrees to below zero in an instant. The cold air was piercing and corroding the bones. This was not just extreme cold, but also contained a lot of negative energy.
Under the cover of a large amount of cold air, an island made of obsidian floated in front of Zhao Mu.
On the island, black fog surged, and it seemed that countless undead were running around inside.
Zhao Mu observed with his immortal eyes and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
The number of undead was beyond imagination.
There were tens of billions of undead in this fierce and desolate place alone.
And there were tens of thousands of such fierce and desolate places in the center of the earth.
The total number of undead...
Zhao Mu thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that this was normal.
The Guidao blocked the Xianwu Continent for about ten thousand years. During these ten thousand years, so many creatures died on the Xianwu Continent that they could not be counted.
Conservatively estimated, there must be tens of trillions.
These undead souls cannot escape, so the final solution is that they are all absorbed by the earth veins without exception.
And here is the destination of those undead souls.
"Why is there a white light there?"
Zhao Mu continued to observe and found that there was a holy white light hidden in the black fog.
He was immediately attracted and went to check it out.
When approaching the black fog, the undead souls seemed to be disturbed and suddenly burst into a shrill ghost roar.
Without a little courage, it is impossible to stay in such a place.
Although Zhao Mu knew that these undead souls had no qualifications to hurt him, he was still a little scared when he saw countless ghosts swaying in front of him.
But he was curious about the white light, and at this moment he could only bite the bullet and go over.
After walking through the pile of undead souls for a while, Zhao Mu finally approached the white light.
Where the light shines, the undead souls dare not approach, forming a vacuum zone.
And the source of the light was too dazzling, so Zhao Mu could not see it clearly.
But it was vaguely visible that there seemed to be a huge furnace standing tall, and a thin figure was busy in front of the furnace, constantly catching undead from the black fog and sending them into the furnace.
Every time some undead were added, the light emitted by the furnace became more dazzling.
After a while, Zhao Mu saw some white smoke rising from the top of the furnace, but then it disappeared into a careful teleportation array, and no one knew where it was sent.
"Is it purifying the undead?"
Zhao Mu had some guesses in his mind.
The girl in front of the furnace, her figure outline, was very similar to the little girl who asked him for help last time.
Could it be that...
Zhao Mu didn't guess randomly, and walked forward openly.
The girl seemed a little flustered when she saw Zhao Mu coming, but she quickly recovered.
She put something down and walked towards Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu took a closer look and found that it was actually a small pink shovel.
The girl continued to walk.
Because no undead were added to the furnace, the light of the furnace began to dim.
Zhao Mu saw the girl's face clearly.
As expected, it was the little girl I met last time.
"Hello, we meet again."
The little girl clenched her hands a little awkwardly, raised her head and looked at Zhao Mu, her eyes were extremely pure.
"You really came, I thought no one would come to help me, you are a good person."
Uh, why did you give me the good guy card right away.
Zhao Mu was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Are you the incarnation of the Xianwu Earth Vein?"
"Incarnation... I don't know, Xiao Wu was also a dead soul living here, but unlike other confused dead souls, Xiao Wu's will has always been very clear. Gradually, Xiao Wu found that she could control the flow of the earth veins, and there was a voice telling Xiao Wu that only by constantly purifying the dead souls can the normal operation of the Xianwu Continent be guaranteed, so Xiao Wu purifies the dead souls here every day."
"But not long ago, a force eroded the earth veins and took away Xiao Wu's control over the earth veins, so I left here and wanted to find someone to help Xiao Wu."
The little girl is not the incarnation of the will of the Xianwu Earth Vein?
But it is estimated that she is not much different. She should be the successor selected by the will of the earth veins.
As for the control of the earth veins being taken away, it goes without saying that it must be the work of the Xianyuan Sect.
The spiritual energy in the Demon Sect's territory had greatly declined before, and it should be that the Xianyuan Sect used the Xianwu earth veins to divert the spiritual energy that originally belonged to the Demon Sect.
If this is the case, Zhao Mu really can't help much.
He doesn't even know what means the Xianyuan Sect used, let alone resolve it.
And to be honest, although the Xianyuan Sect seized the Xianwu earth veins, it did do a good thing. Those caves and blessed places containing fairy treasures should have been generated by the power of the earth veins. Now the spiritual energy level on the Xianwu Continent has risen sharply compared to the past, which is undeniable.
Zhao Mu didn't know how to start, and the little girl said again: "But now Xiaowu can't take care of the earth veins, because there are a lot of creatures about to be born in the world recently, and there are not many pure souls suitable for reincarnation. Xiaowu's power alone is effective, and there is no way to purify a large number of undead souls. Big brother, can you help me?"
"Of course, I'll leave it to you, big brother."
Zhao Mu agreed very readily.
But he felt a little weak in his heart.
There are a lot of lives to be born in the world... Isn't this the Wuxiang Kingdom?
Because of the implementation of the birth incentive plan, the Wuxiang Kingdom is now carrying out crazy activities.
But Zhao Mu had never thought about it before. Since the Xianwu Continent was blocked and the creatures could not reincarnate, where did the souls of the newly born babies come from?
Now Zhao Mu knew that they were purified from the big furnace in front of him.
The sudden increase in the number of births in a short period of time must have increased Xiao Wu's work pressure.
In the final analysis, the responsibility lies with Zhao Mu.
It's quite embarrassing.
"Really? Big brother, you are so nice."
After saying that, Xiao Wu picked up the pink shovel beside her and handed it to Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu looked at the small shovel in his hand with a strange expression, and asked: "How to use this thing?"
"It's called the soul-calling shovel. It has the effect of transcending the dead souls and sending them to the afterlife. Just use it to shovel the surrounding dead souls into this furnace. It's very simple, but it requires some strength. Xiao Wu is not strong enough, so the efficiency is very slow. Big brother is so strong, the purification must be very efficient."
"What about you?"
"I will help big brother drive the surrounding dead souls over so that you can shovel them away nearby."
"Okay, let's get started."
Zhao Mu took the soul-calling shovel, but didn't rush to do it.
Instead, he waited until Xiao Wu walked away, summoned a small spirit pet, and used the soul-calling shovel to brush the return reward.
He was quite curious about what this small shovel could return.
"Ding, send out the first-grade ghost weapon soul-calling shovel, triggering a ten thousand times return, and get the fifth-grade ghost weapon soul-calling bell."
A blood-red bell engraved with strange inscriptions and exuding an ominous aura appeared in Zhao Mu's hand.
He tried to shake the soul-calling bell.
In an instant, the chaotic undead around him suddenly calmed down, as if they were waiting for Zhao Mu to give orders.
Zhao Mu thought about it and said in a commanding tone: "You, line up and jump into the furnace one by one to be purified."
The next second, the black fog surged, and the undead lined up in an orderly manner in a long line, one after another, jumping into the furnace continuously.
Xiao Wu, who had just driven away a group of undead souls, saw this amazing scene and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
