Chapter 162: The Three Mountains of the Underworld

"Is it because Brother Wu left that the ghosts in the river think there is no threat on the shore anymore?"

Chen Xin sighed quietly as he looked at the blood that had engulfed three or four houses at the entrance of the village.

"Brother Wu, I'll let you reunite after this is over."

After Chen Xin finished speaking, Huang Ying pointed the mourning stick in his hand at the banyan tree.

Call the soul!

Soon, a figure appeared in front of Huang Ying. Who else could it be but Brother Wu?

However, at this moment, Brother Wu no longer had the aura he had before, and seemed to be just a wandering soul without consciousness.

Then, Chen Xin put Brother Wu into the piece of paper that belonged to Brother Wu’s wife.

After realizing the ability brought by Brother Wu, Chen Xin looked at the blood that had spread to the shade of the banyan tree.

The mourning stick is waving!
The rustling sounds gradually appeared and soon echoed throughout Sanshan Village.

Aerial roots fell from the banyan tree and shot towards the blood on the ground.

The sound of "plop" entering the water continued to be heard, and one by one the air roots sank into the bloody water.

The blood and water, which had been expanding at an unstoppable pace, suddenly slowed down its expansion speed after the aerial roots entered the water.

After only walking forward twenty or thirty meters, when I saw the big banyan tree right in front of me, the blood began to recede, and I had to retreat!

Because the speed at which it spreads cannot match the speed at which the aerial roots of the banyan tree absorb blood and water.

Chen Xin originally thought that the thing that controlled the blood would retreat after discovering that the banyan tree was still "alive".

But who would have thought that there were actually a dozen ferocious water ghosts in the blood water climbing up the tree along the air roots!
Every time a vicious water ghost crawls a distance, it will leave a piece of mucus on its body on the air roots. After that, those evil ghost-level water ghosts will follow the air roots covered with mucus and climb up, avoiding direct contact with the air roots in this way.

"Water ghost climbing a tree? Haha..."

Chen Xin was not in a hurry. He waited until the water ghosts had climbed halfway before letting Huang Ying swing the mourning staff.

The sound of "Puff, Puff" and "Howl" echoed around the banyan tree.

The water ghosts that were climbing the tree suddenly twitched and fell from the air roots one after another.

Among them, the fierce ghost-level water ghost fell to the ground and did not move after falling, while the vicious water ghost climbed up with convulsions, knelt down in the direction of the big banyan tree, and kept kneeling, just like the villagers in Sanshan Village.

After this strange scene happened, no more water ghosts climbed up along the air roots in the blood water.

Even the speed at which the blood faded away increased significantly.

This time, the blood is active!
But when the blood retreated beyond the shade of the banyan tree and could no longer be reached by the aerial roots, it stopped again.

Looking at this scene, Chen Xin sneered.

"I really don't want to leave..."

The mourning staff was waved again.

A crackling sound came from the ground in Sanshan Village.

Tree roots as thick as human thighs broke out of the ground.

All the blood that came into contact with these tree roots was immediately absorbed completely, and that large area of ​​blood instantly became like a bald man's head, with a missing piece here and a missing piece there.

It was not until this moment that the blood realized that it was hopeless and began to retreat quickly.

But how could Chen Xin give up the opportunity to give someone a beating when he is down?
Huang Ying jumped down from the tree trunk and chased in the direction of the blood, waving the staff in his hand continuously.

The abilities of 'bewitching' and 'controlling wood' obtained from Brother Wu were triggered, and the 'drowning' and 'undercurrent' of the other six pieces of paper were also constantly taking effect.

The blood that was flowing away was not only absorbed by the tree roots that kept protruding from the ground, but was also stirred by the sudden undercurrent and actively crashed into the tree roots.

As the blood coverage area continued to shrink, the water ghosts in the water began to show their heads.

Any exposed water ghosts will be given special care by the tree roots.

Without the mucus of the evil-level water ghosts, any evil-level water ghost that came into contact with the roots of the banyan tree would be sucked clean instantly.

Those who have not been exposed to it are also benefited by the various effects of the staff of mourning.

Chen Xin originally wanted to keep these ghosts, but he never thought that the blood would carry away those ghosts who had lost their ability to move!

Half a minute later, the blood slowed down after reaching a distance of twenty meters from the river bank.

At first Chen Xin thought that the blood had reached the river and became arrogant again.

But then he realized what was going on when he saw that the roots of the banyan tree could not reach there.

It turns out that the water ghost who controls the blood and water already knew the range of the banyan tree!
"So, the dividing line between the banyan tree and the water ghost is entirely determined by the length of the banyan tree's roots?"

Chen Xin looked at the blood and seemed to understand why they were so persistent in rushing into Sanshan Village immediately after Brother Wu left and wanted to destroy the banyan tree.

If we don't destroy the banyan tree, once its roots grow longer, the entire river will become like Sanshan Village, with no ghosts left.

After realizing this, Chen Xin's mood became very good.

The advantage is mine!

Just when Chen Xin was about to control Huang Ying to return to Sanshan Village, he suddenly saw something different from other water ghosts flash by among the dense heads in the river.

Chen Xin frowned.

"Is that... a blood disaster-level water ghost?"

Regarding this river, Chen Xin felt that it was impossible for there to be only ferocious water ghosts. Apart from anything else, the bloody water that could wash ashore was not something that those ferocious water ghosts could do.

It’s just that the blood disaster-level water ghost was a bit too cunning. He knew that he could not defeat the big banyan tree, so he did not show up on his own initiative.

Even though Chen Xin had been here so many times, besides having seen blood and water, this was the only time he saw the blood-disaster-level water ghost.

Looking up at the crack on the river, Chen Xin felt a little headache.

"It seems that this river is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed."

Shaking his head, Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to return to Sanshan Village. As soon as he entered the village, Chen Xin saw dozens of water ghosts lying on the ground or kneeling on the ground and kowtowing continuously, and he immediately smiled.

Just as he was about to call out the names of everyone with the mourning stick, Chen Xin thought of the dark raccoon figurine.

When the Dark Raccoon figurine was thrown over, the Dark Raccoon figurine, which had been triggered before, did not move at all this time.

Looking at the Mingli figurine and then at the big banyan tree, Chen Xin understood something and then called the Mingli figurine back.

"It seems you don't have this fate!"

Chen Xin shook his head and destroyed the water ghosts one by one with his stick.

A total of 8 evil-level water ghosts and 23 fierce-level water ghosts were eliminated, 586 Yin De points were harvested, and the progress of the Yin Shuai-level mourning staff jumped forward by 10%!

Adding the 302 points of Yin De that he had previously reserved, Chen Xin’s Yin De points directly reached 888 points!
Even so, some of the water ghosts were absorbed by the big banyan tree, otherwise the 1000 points of Yinde that Chen Xin had just spent would have been returned again.

Putting away the joy in his heart, Chen Xin looked towards Sanshan Village.

At this time, Sanshan Village was full of roots protruding from the ground, and it looked a mess.

Chen Xin did not mind the trouble and controlled Huang Ying to use the mourning stick to "stuff" all the roots of the banyan tree to the village entrance.

Although there are still some damaged spots on the ground, it looks much better than before.

"Luckily, Brother Wu is here."

Chen Xin looked at the piece of paper belonging to Brother Wu on the mourning stick and murmured.

"Brother Wu, don't worry. I'll go to Sanshan Village again when I return to the living world. I'll then ask my sister-in-law to come and keep you company!"

After saying this, Chen Xin felt that the slightest bit of guilt he had felt towards Brother Wu was gone.

As a family, we should be together!
Putting away the mourning staff, Chen Xin cast the net to sift through.

Huang Ying, wearing the sieve, looked towards the big banyan tree.

Looking at the fluctuations of yin energy emanating from the banyan tree, Chen Xin was certain of one thing.

After Brother Wu’s death, the big banyan tree has become a natural yin object!
Through the battle just now, Chen Xin also understood the characteristics of the banyan tree itself.

It is an ability similar to 'Soul Eater'.

It can absorb ghosts and things created by ghosts, such as blood.

As for 'bewitching' and 'wood controlling', these were Brother Wu's abilities. After Brother Wu actively dissipated, these two abilities should have disappeared.

The attack by the water ghost in the river was not actually reckless.

Without Brother Wu, the big banyan tree lost its abilities of 'bewitching' and 'controlling wood'. Although it only had the ability of 'devouring souls', it could not necessarily cause harm to the water ghosts.

Brother Wu and the banyan tree are like humans and tools.

Without humans, tools are just decorations, and without tools, humans are inefficient.

Combining the two into one can achieve the best results.

Fortunately, Brother Wu left and was called back by Chen Xin, so they were able to overcome the previous crisis.

Similarly, only the mourning staff in Huang Ying's hand is in Sanshan Village, and the banyan tree is the same banyan tree as before.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin suddenly felt like he had obtained the key to the Gundam cabin.

Looking at the big banyan tree and looking at Sanshan Village.

Chen Xin suddenly had an idea.

"If we treat Sanshan Village as the underworld's base in the underworld, is it feasible?"

It was an idea that Chen Xin had long had in mind to establish a base for the underworld in the dark.

Because only in the underworld can everything Chen Xin does not be monitored.

In reality?
As long as Daxia has any doubts, Chen Xin will be unable to move forward, and Zong Peng is an example.

Before he came into contact with the banyan tree, Chen Xin had been thinking about finding a suitable talisman to carve out a piece of land in the underworld.

As long as the level of the talisman is high enough, it can block most of the ghosts.

At that time, as long as we find a place with fewer ghosts or a place farther away from ghosts, we can achieve the goal of establishing a underworld residence in the netherworld.

But that all costs money.

Let’s not talk about the difficulty of compiling the talisman, let’s just talk about how Chen Xin can find a suitable place without alarming the ghosts above the blood disaster level in the underworld?

That's the biggest problem.

So at this moment, the big banyan tree is Chen Xin’s best choice.

The characteristics of the banyan tree itself make it very suitable to be a forbidden place for ghosts.

In addition, it is the big boss of this area. With Chen Xin here, even if a blood-disaster-level ghost comes, even if he cannot destroy the opponent, Chen Xin is confident that he can defend his own piece of land.

The blood-disaster-level water ghost in the river is the best example.

After that, as long as Chen Xin eliminates all the water ghosts in the river and clears the space where the crack is, there will be a "door" to the underworld.

Doesn’t this tie it all together?

Even if you are worried, what if you create a talisman that can protect Sanshan Village?
The banyan tree is not a ghost, and the talisman will not cause any harm to it.

So no matter how you think about it, this is the best choice to establish a base in the underworld!

After thinking this through, Chen Xin prepared to take a look around Sanshan Village.

At present, apart from the river, Chen Xin knows nothing about this place. Since he wants to take root here, he must understand it clearly.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to rush up a hill around Sanshan Village.
