Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 603 Hell
After entering the gate of hell, it is a very muddy road.

At this moment, everyone finally understands why you must drink the spring water from the ghost spring before entering, because not only is there no air at all during this journey, but there are also many floating objects in the air, with large particles floating everywhere. If you wave it in the air, you can touch the dust covered with your hands. The composition is turbid. If you breathe, you will be choked to death immediately. Even with an oxygen mask, it is difficult to walk.

But the ground exudes a stench. The smell is like countless corpses that have rotted for thousands of years. After years of backlog, they have deteriorated and condensed here. It is as sticky as glue, making it very difficult for them to take every step.

They walked forward in this pitch-black space, and found that their vision was getting worse and worse. The beam of the searchlight in their hands was getting smaller and smaller here, and finally turned into a spot of light, and they couldn't see anything.

Chen Zhi repeatedly adjusted the searchlights, and Fat Wei even turned on the fire folder, but the result was the same. These lighting objects could be turned on normally, but the light disappeared after a flash, and the surrounding area was still dark.

"The air here is too turbid, it sucks away the light source..." Ji Ying reminded Chen Zhi in a low voice.

After losing the light source, everyone's journey became more difficult.It is simply unrealistic to smear and find a way in the dark, let alone within such an urgent time limit.

When everyone was in the dark and didn't know what to do, Qin Yueyang was of great help. She has always been good at natural spells such as swallowing clouds and turning fog. The light inside is created by witchcraft, which is different from normal light and illuminates the surrounding darkness.

And when they saw the surrounding environment in the glowing smoke, they couldn't help feeling tense.

At this time, they had already walked in through the gate for a long time, and the entrance behind them had already disappeared, but the area in front of them could not see any boundary at all, and the sky here was so dark that it was impossible to see how high it was. The surroundings are empty, endless, no mountains; no plants, no rivers; no mountains, no iconic objects.

But under their feet, there are large patches of black sludge. These sludges are spreading everywhere, wriggling slowly on the ground, like an endless black swamp, but it looks more impressive than the black swamp. despair.

"Is this hell? It really lives up to its reputation!" Chen Zhi thought in his mind, waving his hands to get everyone together so that they don't get separated, and then slowly find their way forward along the glowing smoke.

There are endless black mud everywhere, a vast expanse of darkness, and no roads and directions can be seen at all, but Chen Zhi found that Qin Yueyang's smoke was constantly flowing in one direction. From a physical point of view, the movement of all substances is As a result of external force, if the smoke surges in that direction, there should be a little bit of air flow in that place.

"Everyone, speed up, go over there..." Chen Zhi pointed forward.

Under Chen Zhi's order, everyone started to speed up and move forward in the mud.

Ghost Saber was injured in the battle just now, so he no longer acts as a striker. Chen Zhi asked him to find some emergency medicine in his treasure bag and take it first. He walked in the middle of the team with Qin Yueyang. Just pay attention to her movements.

After trudging through the mud for a period of time, everyone soon found that the black mud under their feet was getting deeper and deeper, and some places even had no bottom. It was really like a death swamp, and if you made a wrong step, you would sink into it.

Fortunately, everyone in the team has good skills, only Qin Yueyang stepped in the air a few times, but was pulled back by the ghost knife.

After walking for a while, they finally came to the place where the luminous smoke was surging, and found that the yellowish smoke drifted here and stopped moving. All clusters gathered together, forming an image like a big tree. It seems to be wrapped in something.

Qin Yueyang silently recited a few formulas, and dispersed the light yellow glowing smoke, only to see an extremely tall black iron tree exposed under the cloud of smoke.

The black iron tree is more than thirty meters high, very tall and majestic, and the forging process is very rough, but the branches on the black iron tree are all sharp blades, and the blades are shining.

And on those sharp blade-like branches, there are strips of fresh meat hanging on them. The meat strips are still bloodshot, and it seems that they have just been torn off. It is shocking to see.

"This..., what is this thing? It's so disgusting",
Fat Wei grinned straight at the sight, "Isn't there no living things in this hell? Where did these raw meat strips come from? Why are they still so fresh? The blood is so raw, it's so fucking disgusting...".

"Those are not strips of raw meat, they are tongues..." Chen Zhi looked up and said, "It seems that the legends in the world are really not groundless. This place should be the legendary [-]th hell, tongue-pulling hell."

Tongue Pulling Hell is the first hell among the [-] layers of hell in myths and legends. In ancient times, there were many picture scrolls describing Tongue Pulling Hell, and the contents were all abnormal bloody horrors that frightened the living.

According to legend, anyone who sows dissension, slanders others, speaks glibly, argues cleverly, and tells lies in the world will be thrown into the tongue-pulling hell after death.The ghost opened the person's mouth, clamped the tongue with iron pliers, and pulled it out. Instead of pulling it out all at once, it stretched it, pulled it slowly, and then hung it on the iron tree.

Therefore, in old age, it is often said that someone's daughter-in-law, because she loves to gossip, was dragged into tongue-pulling hell to be tortured after death, and many superstitious women in old age believed it very much.

Hearing what Chen Zhi said, everyone looked up carefully, only then did they see clearly that the strips of meat hanging from the branches were indeed huge tongues.

But these tongues are too fresh, they are basically slender, and each one is more than half a meter long. Compared with human tongues, they are more like the tongues of large animals. These tongues are all cut from the tail of the tongue Down, wearing and hanging on the iron tree.

"If these tongues have just been cut off, it proves that there are living things nearby..." Ji Ying looked at the fresh tongue above, and held the long knife vigilantly.

"These tongues should have been hanging here for thousands or even tens of thousands. The reason they are still so fresh is that they are not human tongues at all, but gods' tongues..." Chen Zhi looked up at the bloody tongue, said nonchalantly,

"Actually, I have long thought that human beings have such a humble status in the underworld, just like livestock, so why do they need to enter the ten halls of hell to be judged, and then enter the eighteen hells to be punished.

It's as if humans don't set up courts for animals, judge their good and evil, and set up prisons to punish them.

So if I guessed correctly, starting from the Mihun Temple, only the gods can enter the inner city of Yingdu, and the so-called eighteen levels of hell for punishing the wicked are actually prepared for the gods... ".

"What..., isn't that right?" Fat Wei widened his eyes and said beside him, "Those gods are so awesome, how could they be caught in the underworld to suffer this crime? Besides, the old Pluto is also a god, how could it What about taking care of your own compatriots? Isn’t this abusing your compatriots by leapfrogging?”

"The same gods, but different identities..." Chen Zhi said indifferently, "According to the information we have learned so far, the world of gods does not respect morality, but only believes in power.

The King of Pluto in Fengdu Ghost City, Emperor Fengdu is very ancient and has a high status, who knows if these ordinary gods are as humble as human beings in his eyes... ".

"Damn it, you should! Tell them these gods are so arrogant on weekdays, don't you have nothing to say this time? Your tongues have been chopped off, let's see how you will pretend to be coercive in the future..." Fat Wei said with a smirk.

"Hoo~~~",
Suddenly, behind everyone, there was a woman's panting.
