Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 196 The Truth (Additional chapter for the mushroom collector!)

"Hopefully it's not too late."

After saying this, the entire light and shadow scene began to dissipate.

——But it’s not enough!

I need to know more information!

Chen Ye stared at the Wind Seal and released the "Moonlight Divine Photo" again.

"You spent 9 points of mental energy!"

"Current mental power remaining value: 3 points;"

"——Continuous use of Dharma Eye will put you into a state of exhaustion."

The images in mid-air gathered together again.

But this time it wasn't the carriage.

Feng Zhiwen lay quietly in the depths of the stream and was picked up by a hand.

It was General Tazewell.

He looked at the seal for a while, then sighed and said to himself:
"You think you can run away with this kind of badge? I almost didn't run away."

All around him was extremely flat and vast land.

Endless as far as the eye can see.

No living thing to be seen.

The scene ends quickly.

Shen Ye took a breath, a look of exhaustion on his face.

Continuously observing the past light and shadow of the seal pattern cost me 16 points of mental energy, and I was indeed a little tired.

But the whole thing made me more curious.

There was a hint of despair in General Tazewell's tone.

What kind of fallen angel is he and what is he doing?
Why did the Seal of Wind fall into the stream before it fell into the hands of General Tazewell?
No, it must be clarified.

Even if you can't get any advanced entries tonight, you still have to know the truth!

Shen Ye drew out 10 free attribute points and invested his mental power.

"The current mental strength is: 13 points."

"Your condition is restored."

continue!

He set his sight on the Wind Seal and activated the Moonlight Divine Light.

Heavy light and shadow appeared in front of me again.

Shen Ye frowned.

This time, the screen kept shaking.

Someone shouted: "Faster! Faster!"

A female voice screamed: "It's too late, we can't escape, everyone is going to die!"

"There is a stream ahead, jump in."

Shen Ye saw a male dark elf leap high into the air——

Swish.

He was gone in an instant.

There was no sound of falling water in the stream.

——Where did this go?
What followed was a wail of pain.

The female dark elf wearing the crest of wind screamed again and plunged into the water.

She dived deeper into the water.

While swimming, she gritted her teeth, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed herself in the heart.

Blood and water filled the air.

The body gradually sank to the bottom of the water.

All light and shadow dispersed.

"water……"

Shen Ye muttered something and rubbed his eyes.

After using Dharma Eye three times in a row, my eyes were sore and swollen, which was very uncomfortable.

But there are rewards.

First, the female dark elf would rather die than be caught by something;
You know this is hell.

If you die here, your soul will go to purgatory.

The horror of purgatory, the big skeleton is not even willing to discuss it.

Second, there is water.

"What will happen if there is water? Will there be any chance?"

Shen Ye talked to himself.

"What, you want to drink some water? I remember you brought some drinks." The big skeleton said.

"No - I mean, nothing can be seen on the ground. We need to look for places like streams and lakes - is there such a place in hell?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, those aquatic beings will go to hell after death, so you can definitely find a place with water."

"Let's go! Look for it!"

The will-o'-the-wisp locomotive started again.

About an hour later.

The will-o'-the-wisp motorcycle stopped in front of a lake as smooth as a mirror.

The lake water is crystal clear.

At a glance you can see there is nothing under the water.

"Be careful, although it looks clear, there may be some monster hidden there."

Big skull reminder.

"You're right, you have to guard against it."

Shen Ye squatted down, put his hand in the water, and exerted force suddenly.

But he saw a lightning palm break away from his hand and slowly dive deeper into the water.

A series of lightning snakes spread out from the palm of his hand.

The water flow produced a subtle tremor.

"What is this for?" the big skeleton asked in surprise.

"Electric fish - if there are any alive ones, they will pop up right now." Shen Ye said.

The two of them looked at the lake with bated breath.

There was no movement.

"Okay, do you want to go in the water?" asked the big skeleton.

thump!
Shen Ye had already jumped down.

The lake water was bone-chillingly cold.

He followed the current and dived down to the bottom of the lake.

The bottom of the lake is very clean, there is nothing.

——If there is an item, with your own "door" ability, a glimmer of light will appear.

But not at all.

Shen Ye looked around and was ready to leave.

But after traveling for such a long time, he finally found a lake. ——General Tazewell discovered the Wind Emblem in the water!
This proves that there are still some differences between water and land.

Do you just give up like this?
After all, Shen Ye was a little unwilling and spit out bubbles loudly:

"Have!"

"people!"

"!"

Several bubbles flew out of his mouth and floated up quickly.

The intermediate "Dark Whisper" is activated!
But everything was quiet.

Waited for a few more breaths.

Shen Ye shook his head and was about to leave when he suddenly saw several water bubbles floating upward not far away.

——Someone!
And it’s dead!

Shen Ye cheered up and immediately swam in that direction.

It was a sunken depression.

There is a lot of white scum deposited in the ground, slowly sloshing with the water flow.

"Who spit the bubbles?"

Shen Ye asked again.

Gollum-

Several bubbles emerged from the soil and rose upward.

soil!

Shen Ye pushed aside the soil and saw a crocodile head buried inside.

——Only one head left!

The scum and ashes floating at the bottom of the water may be its original body.

Without saying a word, Shen Ye held the crocodile's head, put it in his ring, and swam towards the water.

A few minutes later.

waterside.

The crocodile head was placed on the ground.

"Hello, brother." Shen Ye said.

"You're welcome, please let me stay a little longer. Purgatory is too scary and I don't want to go back so early." said the crocodile head.

"How did you die?" Shen Ye asked.

"The situation is too critical, so I killed myself." said the crocodile head.

"What's going on?" Shen Ye asked.

"It was a critical situation. Everyone was doomed. I had no choice but to kill myself." said the crocodile head.

Shen Ye: "..."

"This crocodile is a bit strange. Why does it keep repeating itself?" the big skeleton asked quietly.

"This is called water words - it is talking nonsense to us in order to prolong our stay in hell." Shen Ye said.

"This is easy, leave it to me." said the big skeleton.

It came out of the ring, placed its hand on the crocodile's head, and whispered a spell.

The crocodile sensed it immediately, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately screamed crazily:
"Ahhhh-"

"Noble King of the Undead, please revive me!"

The big skeleton looked at it and said in a deep tone: "Answer our questions seriously, otherwise don't think about anything good."

"Yes, sir!" said the crocodile head respectfully.

Shen Ye suddenly realized.

Among the three magical skills of the Undead, I chose Dark Whisper and the big skeleton chose Resurrection of the Undead.

If I were to perform resurrection in hell—

"If I resurrect it, its soul will return from purgatory to hell, and then I have to resurrect it in the human world before it can truly come back to life in the human world." The big skeleton explained.

"I understand. Step-by-step resurrection." Shen Ye said.

"My Lords, as a crocodile man I actually have a unique talent. I can see through the clouds in the sky, the obstacles on the ground, and the hidden murderous intent."

The crocodile head began to talk non-stop:
"I was about to go to bed last night, but the strong uneasiness in my heart prompted me to surface and look up at the sky."

“I knew it was broken right then.”

Shen Ye thought of the way the male dark elf died and couldn't help asking:

"What did you see?"

“I saw the sky change.”

"If you keep wasting words, go to hell." said the big skeleton angrily.

"Excuse me, my Lords, but I see the sky has changed - the entire sky is filled with human heads."

"Saying human heads may cause misunderstandings to the two adults. Strictly speaking, they are actually heads of creatures of all races, including humans, orcs, dragons, spiders, fish, elves, and even tree people—"

"The heads were so dense that they filled up the sky behind the clouds. There was no end in sight."

"They have exactly the same expression on their faces—"

"hunger."

"Yes, my eyes are not mistaken, I know that is the look before hunting."

The crocodile head gasped and said:
"Sorry, please allow me to slow down for a moment."

Shen Ye and the big skeleton looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

Just imagine--

The sky was filled with heads, densely packed together, each one wanting to devour everything on earth—

"Is Hell like this before?"

Shen Ye asked.

"No," the big skeleton shook his head: "According to the ancient records of our undead race, hell is divided into many layers. It is a place where all kinds of painful tortures are used to wash away sins and return souls to purity."

"Even with all kinds of torture, they won't make souls devour each other."

"Yes, I know that, too," the crocodile head replied, "but those human heads really want to eat everything on the ground, and that's what they do."

"I saw Lord Isaac's carriage."

"The carriage crossed the lake at an unimaginable speed and fled to a farther place."

"But it was too late."

"Heads swarmed down from the sky, devouring everything."

"There are long tubes connected to the back of each head. I don't know what they are, but they didn't let go of the carriage."

"Lord Isaac was powerful and invincible, but he couldn't hold out for even a few seconds."

"He, his entourage, and his carriage were devoured by an endless stream of heads."

"I can see that this kind of devouring completely consumes both the soul and the body. Once it is eaten, nothing will exist anymore."

"The heads were moving on the ground, plowing the entire earth, and eating up all the edible things."

“It’s the same in the water.”

“I thought at the time that it would be better to suffer in purgatory than to have my soul eaten like this. At least there is still that illusory hope.”

"So when the other water creatures were panicking, I had already released my magic and killed myself."

“This is the whole truth.”

Shen Ye looked at the big skeleton.

The big skeleton shook his head and said, "Don't look at me. I have read a lot of books on the ancient history of the Undead, but I have never heard of such a thing."
