Ghost King Landlord

Chapter 54 The Root Maze
The lines on the wooden door scalded the blood lines on Qin Guang's hands, and the strange power inside was still left. There were traces of strong corrosive dark red energy, like blood-red bugs, running along the blood on his palm. The pattern drilled into the flesh and blood.

"Huh?" Qin Guang frowned, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and the majestic Yin energy in his body surged like a flood, extinguishing the red streaks of blood effortlessly.

Seeing the rapidly healing wound on Qin Guang's hand, the pupils of the man in white robe shrank suddenly, secretly horrified.At the beginning, he also tried to break the seal. After accidentally touching the grain on the wooden door, it took him ten years to dispel the strange energy that had penetrated into his body.

He has a deep understanding of the difficulty of this kind of dark red energy. Seeing Qin Guang dispelling it so easily, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.Although this may be the only chance for him to take the initiative and suppress his other self, will this way of leading wolves into the house put him in another predicament?

After the eyes of the man in white robe flickered for a while, he secretly gritted his teeth.Up to now, he has no choice. There is one thing he did not tell Qin Guang. If this continues, as the other one becomes stronger and stronger, he will be completely sealed in the end.Although he is still alive, he will no longer have consciousness, which is why he decided to cooperate with Qin Guang from the beginning.Put all your eggs in one basket and fight hard, at least there will be a chance!
"The seal on it is very ordinary. What is difficult is the energy on the seal." Qin Guang looked at the man in white robe: "I need a little time. During this period, don't let anything disturb me."

"Don't worry, although I'm not his opponent, delaying time should be fine." The white-robed man nodded, took two steps to the side, and scanned his surroundings vigilantly.

Qin Guang's gaze turned to the wooden door again, and he saw through the seal in front of him at a glance. The seal that a locust tree spirit realized on its own, seemed crude and full of flaws in the eyes of him, the King of Hades, but because of the strange energy of the seal, So he also had to spend a lot of work.

Qin Guang stood in front of the wooden door, stood quietly, and slowly put his right hand on the wooden door.This time, his hands were covered with a purple-black film of light. Where the purple-black and dark red meet, there was a subtle sizzling sound. If you look closely, you can find that the energies of the two colors are being consumed by each other.

But relatively speaking, the consumption rate of purple-black energy is much slower.Although the dark red energy was weird, it was inevitably at a disadvantage in front of Qin Guang's Yin Qi of the Ghost King.

Time passed quietly, Qin Guang's purpose was not to fight a war of attrition, he was using this method to infiltrate his Yin Qi into the seal, and use his own Yin Qi to crack the seal.

After an unknown period of time, the white-robed man who had been vigilant hadn't noticed anything unusual. It seemed that the other man didn't care whether they could break the seal.Just when he was feeling puzzled and disturbed by this kind of silence, Qin Guang in front of the wooden door suddenly withdrew his palm, moved his fingers like the wind, and quickly pinched out one finger after another, hitting the grain of the wooden door like lightning.

Fingers hit the wooden door, making a dull sound of "duk tuk", and the dark red lines on it began to flicker, seeming very unstable.

"Break!" Qin Guang let out a low cry, raised his index finger and middle finger, and tapped on a grain in the middle of the wooden door, and a thin purple-black line quickly penetrated through the gap between his fingers.

The man in the white robe looked over, and saw the dark red lines on the wooden door flickering faster and faster. When he looked over, it seemed that he had finally reached a certain limit, and all the dark red energy in the wood grains suddenly shrank. The final point where the wide finger was pressed shrunk to a dot, and then disappeared suddenly.

"Ka... Kaka..."

After the dark red pattern on the wooden door disappeared, fine cracks gradually opened at the position pointed by Qin Guang's finger before, and then spread like a spider's web.

When the entire wooden door was covered with cracks, it finally let out an overwhelmed sound, and it completely collapsed with a click.Numerous pieces of wood and sawdust were scattered all over the ground, revealing the dark passage behind, and within the passage, faintly shimmering red lights.

"The seal is broken?" The white-robed man walked over to look at the broken wooden door, and then glanced at the passage inside, before asking.

"Well," Qin Guang nodded, squinting his eyes to look at the passage inside: "Where does this road lead to?"

"Underground!" The white-robed man walked into the dark passage, turned around and explained: "My body has already gone deep into the ground. I used to feel all the movements within a radius of ten miles through the roots extending out! Within this range, I He is the master of this underground world!"

Qin Guang raised his eyebrows in surprise. The vegetation spirits are relatively weak, but this locust tree spirit can extend its roots to such a large range, it seems that it still has some skills.If so many things hadn't happened and he had been allowed to develop with peace of mind, he might have become a remarkable thousand-year-old monster by now.

The passage behind the wooden door was pitch black, different from the passage in front, the wood grain here exudes a blood-like light, and the reassuring fragrance is also replaced by a faint smell of blood.This kind of taste makes people feel irritable after taking a sip, and it is easy to evoke all kinds of negative emotions hidden in their hearts.

Qin Guang frowned slightly, took a deep breath, the red light in his eyes flickered twice, and then gradually went out.He secretly stabilized his mind, the Yin energy in his body surged, and he secretly maintained vigilance.

The two went all the way down the passage, Qin Guang didn't know where they were now, the passage here is the underground part of the locust tree itself, and they can reach wherever the roots can extend.

The roots of the locust tree are intertwined and dense, so even the passage has become very messy. If there is not a man in a white robe leading the way, anyone will get lost in such a huge root passage. This place is simply more complicated than any maze in the world!
At the beginning, Qin Guang was still a little interested in the root channel, but at this moment he already felt a little irritated.

There are exactly the same wood grain passages everywhere, the boundless darkness, the red blood-stained wood grains, the faint smell of blood in the air...all of these can easily wear away people's patience and arouse the devil hidden deep in their hearts .Qin Guang had to admit that the environment here had already affected his state of mind!
"Is the state of mind so bad? It seems to have a great impact..." Qin Guang couldn't help flashing what Li Yuanfeng said. In the past, how could he be so easily affected by the environment!
Qin Guang shook his head, took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and calmed down the chaotic emotions in his heart.When he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes had regained their composure.

After walking in this root maze for an unknown amount of time, Qin Guang couldn't remember where they were now, were they close to the ground, or deep underground?How far are they from where they are going?All this he did not know.

During this long walk, Qin Guang's patience has been worn down, and his gaze towards the man in white robe has gradually cooled down.What the hell is this guy doing?Could it be that he was playing tricks on him from the beginning?
Just when Qin Guang was hesitating whether to force him to question him, the white-robed man suddenly paused, then quickened his pace and walked forward, whispering as he walked, "We found their location! Come with me." .”

Qin Guang raised his eyebrows and quickened his pace to follow.

At the end of this passage, two forked roads appeared, and the man in the white robe walked to the left without hesitation.Qin Guang stopped at the intersection, glanced at the passage on the right, then turned and followed.

This passage went straight down, and after a short walk, Qin Guang saw a bright light not far away.He froze for a moment, then looked down, only to find that not far from them, the floor of the passage had changed from wood to stone slabs!
Looking at the orderly stone steps, Qin Guang glanced at the white-robed man in front of him with some doubts.Although he didn't know their exact location now, it seemed that they should be deep underground. How could there be man-made buildings in such a place?Is it the catacombs?
"Huh? This is... a terrible resentment!" At this moment, Qin Guang suddenly felt a vast sea of ​​resentment. Even if he had once been the King of Hades, he really couldn't imagine what a person would have to endure. Such horrible resentment would come from the torture!

Qin Guang carefully felt the direction of the resentment, and was somewhat surprised to find that the resentment did not come from the end of the stone steps below, which may be the mausoleum, but from the junction of the stone steps and the wooden steps, and from there. In the bottom layer, it is like ripples spreading on the sea surface, rippling around.

Aware of this scene, Qin Guang exhaled lightly. He realized that he was thinking too much. How could such a majestic resentment come from a single person?It seems that the strata below may have been places like ancient battlefields, and the resentment of countless fallen soldiers gathered together to form this real resentment.

What makes Qin Guang feel strange is that he has also been to some ancient battlefields. Although the resentment and murderous aura there are strong, they have not reached such an astonishing level.If a soul that has just died comes here, it won't be long before it will turn into a terrifying wraith!This shows how appalling the resentment here is!
But this is just a small mountain village. Even though the sea has changed and the geography has changed, it used to be an ancient battlefield, but what happened to make those soldiers still have such terrible resentment even after they died many years ago?Qin Guang was deeply puzzled by this.
