Chapter 1668

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

The sound of thunder and lightning came from the sky, and Jiang Chen's attention was immediately attracted. He quickly looked up in the direction of the sound source.

The black clouds that had originally dispersed now gathered together again, and then it started to rain heavily, and the rain was also wrapped in the air of the underworld.

The rain became heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping at all. The sound of thunder kept roaring in the ears, making the already dull atmosphere even more depressing.

Although it was unclear why such a change happened, Jiang Chen knew that he could not stay here any longer, and immediately returned the same way.

However, Jiang Chen was disappointed in his heart. He thought he could find news about the underworld, but the ghost howl was just a remnant soul, and the only clue was cut off here.

Fortunately, this time it was not a complete loss. Not only did he get a soul crystal, but he also confirmed the fact that the underworld existed.

"Hua La La!"

A sound of rapid water flow came into Jiang Chen's ears. Although there were thunder and lightning and heavy rain, the sound of water flow was too strong, giving people a deafening feeling.

After a closer look, he found that the originally dry Styx was now surging. In the Styx, there were countless souls struggling, trying to escape from the Styx.

However, as soon as those souls rose a distance, countless black tentacles would emerge from the Styx, turning into hands and pulling them back again.

"Woo woo!"

The shrill wailing sound echoed in his ears, giving people an extremely creepy feeling. The surrounding temperature was greatly reduced, and the soul was even more fluctuated.

"What a weird Styx."

Just a glance, Jiang Chen realized that the Styx was unusual. Before he could observe more, something happened again in the rear area.

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked behind him, and found that the world was gradually turning into nothingness. Everything was swallowed up by the black fog.

Now the black fog is getting closer and closer to Jiang Chen.

"Swish!"

Not wanting to stay for too long, Jiang Chen flew out with his back foot, and soon arrived above the Styx.

At first everything was normal, but when Jiang Chen was about to cross the central area, countless black arms stretched out from the Styx and grabbed Jiang Chen directly.

In just a blink of an eye, Jiang Chen's body was entangled by those black arms, and then dragged down little by little.

"Swish!"

At the critical moment, Jiang Chen's demon wings played a role. As the demon wings waved, a fierce gale swept out and instantly cut off those arms.

After Jiang Chen escaped, he immediately flapped his wings away from the Styx and fled the dangerous area at a very fast speed.

While flying, Jiang Chen subconsciously looked back and found that the black fog had spread to the Styx, and the entire Styx was swallowed up.

The originally harsh sound of water flow also subsided, and the world fell into silence again.

But the danger was not over. The black fog was still spreading and chasing Jiang Chen closely, giving people a feeling that it would not stop until it swallowed him.

In the end, Jiang Chen was faster and successfully got rid of the pursuit of the black fog.

Jiang Chen returned to the bloody grassland again and looked back at the black fog that was chasing him. The fog seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to come out from the ground, but slowly retreated.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. If the black fog had been chasing him, it would be a real hassle to deal with it. Fortunately, the danger was over now.

After adjusting his breath, Jiang Chen took out the soul crystal. He planned to absorb it himself.

It was not that Jiang Chen did not want to give it away. The main reason was that this thing was obtained from Ghost Xiao. It was impossible to ensure whether the other party had a backhand. It was too risky to give it to Jiang Yu and the others.

Jiang Chen did not have this worry. Even if Ghost Xiao was keeping a backhand, with the system protecting his soul, the other party could not make any waves, and safety could be ensured.

There is another reason for this, that is, Jiang Chen wants to try to see if he can get some information about the underworld from this soul crystal, so as to deal with it in the future.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Since you want to attack the underworld, you naturally have to understand the other party.

Jiang Chen directly entered the small world in the universe. As soon as he thought about it, countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered and rushed into the soul crystal frantically.

Then, Jiang Chen stretched out his soul and wrapped up the soul crystal in his hand.

Under Jiang Chen's traction, the soul crystal directly sank into his soul sea. Jiang Chen immediately mobilized his own soul power and continued to devour the soul source in the soul crystal.

As soon as he devoured some soul source, Jiang Chen could clearly feel the improvement of soul power, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

But the expression of enjoyment did not last too long. The power of the soul source was too violent. The originally calm soul sea instantly boiled up, and even overflowed with some underworld energy.

Fortunately, the Netherworld Qi was not too much and was completely within Jiang Chen's control. It was quickly refined, but the pain was not relieved at all.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Although it was extremely painful, Jiang Chen had no intention of stopping. Under the continuous impact of his soul power, several cracks appeared on the soul crystal.

"Crack..."

Finally, the soul crystal cracked, and the soul source inside overflowed and dripped directly into Jiang Chen's soul sea.

"Ah~"

The pain doubled instantly, and the soul sea began to surge wildly like boiling water, and the entire soul sea instantly turned black.

"Hahahaha~"

A burst of crazy laughter came out, and the black fog above the soul sea was filled, and it condensed into a human face.

"Boy, you really don't know how to live or die. You dare to absorb my soul crystal. I didn't expect that I still have a backup plan. I will accept your body with pleasure."

As he said that, the human face condensed by the black mist rushed straight to Jiang Chen's soul body and quickly wrapped it up.

"Hmph, do you think I didn't expect this?"

Although the soul body was wrapped by the remnant soul of Ghost Xiao, Jiang Chen had a calm face. Because he had already guessed it in his heart, he was also on guard against the other party while absorbing the soul source.

Now it seems that Ghost Xiao has the advantage, but he can't do anything to Jiang Chen. It's just a bluff.

"It's better for you to show up on your own initiative, so I don't have to look for it slowly."

The corners of Jiang Chen's soul body raised, revealing a meaningful smile. When he looked at Ghost Xiao's soul body, his eyes were surging with fiery light.

"You...you knew it a long time ago?"

Facing Jiang Chen's malicious eyes, Ghost Xiao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his first reaction was to escape.

But Ghost Xiao quickly rejected this idea. He was just a remnant soul and could not stay in the outside world for too long, so it would be meaningless to escape.

In this case, it would be better to fight directly. It would be better to wipe out Jiang Chen's soul. Even if he failed in the end, it would only be a loss of a remnant soul for him.
