Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 374 Bai Qi, the God of Death?

Lu Li asked, "So what should I do next?"

"You'll understand tonight," the shrub said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

Hearing what the rabbi said, Lu Li became even more interested in the forest at night.

Lu Li didn't do anything else after that. Instead, he wandered around the forest, collecting herbs and other things along the way.

As the sun gradually sets in the west, the Wolong Forest, like the color of the sky, gradually dims.

As the last rays of the sun disappeared, the entire Wolong Forest began to distort.

Yes, it is distorted.

Lu Li witnessed firsthand how the lush green trees around him withered at a visible rate, and continued to twist into strange, grotesque shapes.

In the world of cultivation, whether one cultivates immortality or demonic cultivation, feng shui is very important.

For a normal person, a place like this would be nothing short of hell.

However, for those who follow the demonic path, this is the ultimate blessed land.

Among the various arts of cultivation, there is a secondary profession called Corpse Raiser. In fact, most people in the demonic path mainly cultivate secondary professions, which are their methods of fighting enemies.

The corpse raiser focuses on using the earth's evil energy to nourish the corpse, similar to helping their clone follow the path of physical cultivation.

This place is the most advanced place for raising corpses, and the evil energy here is even stronger than that of the Dragon Tomb.

However, due to the rules, this natural burial ground did not produce any zombies, but one thing is certain: there are definitely many Ghost-type Pokémon here.

Lu Li didn't know how many Ghost-type Pokémon were in the tombs beneath this forest, but one thing was certain.

There are many Ghost-type Pokémon on the ground of this forest, and most of them are Ghost and Grass-type.

It had only been less than five minutes since night fell, and Lu Li had already seen no fewer than three Ghost-type Pokémon.

Banna Devouring Grass, Rotten Wood Demon, Pumpkin Monster...

These Pokémon are all Ghost and Grass-type, and they all appeared at almost the same time, as if they had been there all along.

Just then, the shaman's voice came from the side: "This forest does not welcome the living, so you'd better be careful."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li did not hesitate to use his divine sense to isolate his life force, and also took back the large natural bird beside him.

After doing all this, Lu Li continued to ask, "How do I get to the tomb below?"

“Follow them and you’ll find the passage,” Silavi said, pointing to the rows of will-o’-the-wisps in the distance.

Looking in the direction the other person pointed, Lu Li was even more surprised.

There were rows of pumpkin spirits and pumpkin monsters, all arranged in an orderly fashion, as if they were on their way to pay tribute to some place.

Lu Li, who instantly understood what the other party meant, nodded and then cautiously followed behind the group of pumpkin monsters.

They were heading into the forest, and almost all the pumpkin monsters were heading in that direction.

Following at the back, Lu Li soon arrived at the center of the forest.

There was a temple there.

A temple of the forest god.

However, the statue of the forest god is now half destroyed, and in its place is a statue of an elf that looks like a single sword sheath.

Looking at the familiar dragon head handle, Lu Li's lips twitched slightly.

He now suspects that the Dragon Soul Sword offended Celebi, which is why Celebi deliberately caused him trouble.

"How about it? Aren't you surprised?" Celebi's voice rang out again from the side.

Lu Li nodded, genuinely surprised, even somewhat bewildered.

He felt he had made history, and just a day earlier.

After the pumpkin monsters arrived at the temple, they all fell into the stone statues.

The pumpkin monsters have physical forms, and their ability to enter the stone statues can only mean one thing.

The statue in front of us is probably just a projection or a visual illusion.

"Why is your temple so dilapidated?" Lu Li immediately turned the tables.

Silabhi corrected him earnestly, his little face serious: "This is not mine."

“This is a statue of a shrine from your world,” the shrine added.

Land from:"……"

Lu Li decided to go and check on the statue of the shurabi in this world again during the day. If the statue was intact during the day, it would mean that this guy was not only cunning, but also petty.

"Hurry up and go in, the entrance is only open for a limited time," Celebi urged from the side.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li quickly followed him inside.

The stone statue was indeed just a kind of illusion; it had no real substance.

Upon entering the stone statue, Lu Li saw a long passage, or more accurately, a time tunnel.

"This place was indeed set up by the shrubs." Lu Li suddenly realized.

In the entire Pokémon world, only Celebi possesses the ability to permanently solidify a time tunnel.

Even the god of time or the god of space cannot create a time tunnel on their own.

After stepping out of the time tunnel, Lu Li felt as if he were in hell.

This is a huge man-made pit, with a diameter at least the same size as the Wolong Forest.

If such a giant crater appeared in the world of elves, humans would even be able to see it from outside the atmosphere.

The enormous pit was like an inverted pyramid, with each level filled with elves.

Besides that, there are all sorts of Ghost-type Pokémon performing aerial "tricks"?
At that moment, a giant, pink, floating creature carrying a microphone floated up.

With an aura of dominance, Qingpiao's strength is around the champion level.

"Lightly~"

Lu Li activated the Spirit Language Technique.

"The Ghost Conference is officially starting!" the pink, fluttering figure announced loudly.

Then countless Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar flew out from the group of Pokémon and slowly gathered in the air.

Finally, a black cloud formed by Gastly creatures was created.

The dark clouds kept changing into all sorts of shapes.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the visual appeal, Lu Li thinks it's pretty good.

The fact that so many elves can move in such an orderly manner shows that they have rehearsed a lot.

Lu Li now really wanted to go up and politely ask these Gengars if they would be willing to become brothers in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

To coordinate, it would be a loss to the world if the Ten Thousand Souls Banner didn't come.

It's not hard to see that these Gengar's teamwork is already showing signs of becoming an Elf army.

Despite being tempted, Lu Li did not forget the purpose of her trip.

He came here to find a man and a sword.

"Where is it?" Lu Li was a bit confused.

The area was larger than he had expected. Finding someone here, while easier than in the Crouching Dragon Forest, was still something no one could do alone.

Most importantly, divination is useless, and there are no acquaintances here.

Just as Lu Li was pondering how to find the person, a chubby creature blocked his way.

"Fatty~" (Human, follow me)
Lu Li looked at the chubby guy who suddenly blocked his way with surprise and suspicion. His first reaction was that he had been exposed. His second reaction was to think about whether to shake him off and ask Celebi to take him back quickly.

After suppressing his nervousness, Lu Li nodded and obediently followed behind the chubby boy.

The pink, chubby creature is actually a very dangerous one. Like most Ghost-type Pokémon, the chubby creatures love to absorb the life force of other living beings.

Furthermore, the chubby ones are water-type spirits, and normally they usually appear in the ocean. But the chubby ones in this place are strange; they can actually float in the air.

Moreover, it looks like a lantern from a distance, which seems very strange and terrifying here.

It wasn't until the chubby little guy entered a dark passage that Lu Li realized that each floor had passages leading to other unseen places.

Ghost-type Pokémon don't need light for illumination, but rows of eerie blue torches lined both sides of the passage.

It wasn't until he looked at it up close that Lu Li realized that these eerie blue torches were actually placed on the heads of some skeleton soldiers wearing armor.

Lu Li wasn't an archaeologist and didn't know what period these armors were from, but he could tell they were bronze armors.

Civilizations that possess bronze armor are generally quite ancient.

The passage was long, and there were many torches.

If we assume that each torch contains the skeleton of a soldier, then there are at least 200 corpses in this passage.

Based on the area of ​​the inverted pyramid-shaped pit, the top level has at least 2000 important passages, and then there are the passages in its various levels.

A chill ran through Lu Li's heart.

That was a horrifying number.

This pyramidal crater contains the remains of at least 30 humans!
Somewhat numb, Lu Li didn't know how long he had walked, but he was finally brought to his destination.

It was a tomb chamber that didn't look very big.

Lu Li looked at Wei and Freya with excitement.

They seem to be in good condition right now. Apart from their skin being a little pale from not being exposed to the sun for so long, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them.

"Wei, Freya, are you two alright?" Lu Li asked hurriedly.

"Lu Li! What brings you here?" Wei looked at Lu Li excitedly, then quickly asked, "Did you bring the God of a Thousand Faces with you?"

Lu Li shook his head.

"That's it." Wei's excitement instantly cooled, replaced by a look of deep worry.

Lu Li also knew what Wei was worried about.

However, Lu Li wasn't too worried. Although Celebi was a white-faced but black-hearted person, he was a genuine benevolent god.

The rabbi might play some harmless pranks on him, but he would never risk his life or freedom.

There's no way around it; looking at the entire Pokémon multiverse and all the divine powers, Celebi's reputation is among the best.

"What happened? Didn't you come here to find Xiong's apprentice? How did you end up here?" Lu Li asked in confusion.

"Ugh!"

Freya sighed, then complained in frustration, "We didn't even enter the Crouching Dragon Secret Realm. After coming out of the secret realm's entrance, we arrived at the Crouching Dragon Forest."

"At first it was fine. There was no danger in the Wolong Forest during the day, and it could even be said to be very safe. But at night, the Wolong Forest completely changed."

Freya's face showed a hint of fear as she spoke.

The fact that it could instill fear in a Champion-level trainer shows just how terrifying the Crouching Dragon Forest must be at night.

For humans, the most terrifying thing in the fairy world is the ghost, but even more terrifying than ghosts are hordes of ghosts.

People fear ghosts not because ghosts are inherently evil, but because most ghosts feed on life energy.

In terms of ecological niche, ghosts actually exist above humans.

In ancient times, humans could not fight alongside elves, and ghosts were their nightmare.

Some ghosts feed on fear, while others feed on life energy; basically, all ghosts are either the former or the latter.

Humans possess both fear and life energy, and these are abundant and easily captured.

This is the fear etched deep in humanity's genes in order to survive.

"Don't worry, it's alright, I'm here." Lu Li could only gently comfort Freya.

After calming Freya down, Lu Li asked, "Were you brought here by force, or did you come in on your own?"

Lu Li didn't know whether he had been captured or invited.

After all, he came when Fatty called him.

"We were captured. We encountered a horde of Ghost-type Pokémon while adventuring in the Crouching Dragon Forest at night, and then we were brought here," Freya explained dejectedly.

Lu Li nodded in understanding.

Freya is only an Elite Four level trainer, while there are quite a few Champion-level Ghost-type Pokémon in this area. As for Vi...

Fighting-type fighting against Ghost is a joke.

Since Vi, who was a champion fighter, was rendered useless, it's understandable that Freya and the others were "invited" here.

Seeing that the two women didn't seem to be in any trouble, Lu Li confirmed, "They just brought you here and didn't do anything else, like the fear and life energy on you?"

Freya shook her head and explained, "No, after we were captured and brought here, they forced us to tell stories to a coffin every day."

"and many more!"

Lu Li interrupted Freya.

"What did you just say? Forced to tell a story, to a coffin? Is the coffin you're talking about the Grim Reaper's Coffin?"

Freya explained, "No, it's just a normal stone coffin."

Land from:"……"

What is certain is that it is not the coffin that wants to hear the story, but rather something inside the coffin.

Thinking of this, Lu Li asked, "Do we have to tell stories every day?"

Freya nodded.

"Is today's story finished?" Lu Li continued to ask.

Freya continued to explain, "No, but they'll be calling us over soon."

"Then let's go take a look together later." After Lu Li finished speaking, he asked for more details about the general situation here.

Freya and the others arrived so many days earlier than him, they must know far more than he does.

Lu Li learned a lot of information from Freya.

For example, the origin of that pit outside.

That pit, resembling an inverted triangle, is the mass grave left by Bai Qi 11 epochs ago.

That crater alone buried 40 humans, and if you include elves, that's millions of lives lost.

So many lives have perished here, and they were even massacred in a pit; it's no wonder the evil energy in this place is so severe.

Thinking about this, Lu Li now seriously suspects that Bai Qi was originally the messenger of the God of Death, and he even suspects that this was a sacrifice.

Because this pyramidal pit looks too much like a sacrificial pit from some kind of ritual.

At the very bottom, in the smallest layer, lie the graves of those powerful, top-tier trainers.

And so on...

The higher the pit goes, the larger it becomes, which means that the people and elves killed in the pit are getting weaker and weaker.

As for why the pit is now empty, Lu Li felt he would soon find out the truth.
