Chapter 74 The Land of the Underworld (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Before Li Shizhou's body even touched the ghostly mist, he already felt weightlessness.

He, the Howling Soul Beast, and the Purple-Eyed Bi were descending towards the sea below.

The speed increased, and the whistling wind filled my ears.

At this moment, the magical power in his dantian had stagnated, and he could not mobilize even a trace of it, nor could his divine sense leave his body even a fraction of an inch.

Although he was mentally prepared, as a cultivator, his magical power and divine sense were the foundation of his existence, so he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in this situation.

The level-six Purple-Eyed Bi beneath him was in even worse shape. Its escape light vanished instantly, and its limbs flailed wildly in the air in an attempt to maintain its balance.

About two breaths later.

The man and two beasts plunged into the sea with a splash, creating huge waves.

As soon as it fell into the water, it was enveloped in a pitch-black mist, within which countless black lightning bolts intertwined.

After a low rumble, the man, the two beasts, and the nearby seawater vanished without a trace.

I don't know how much time passed.

.

After a dizzying spin, a muffled crack was heard.

Li Shizhou felt himself fall to the ground, but the ground beneath him wasn't hard.

He opened his eyes, got up, and looked around. He found himself in what appeared to be a desert full of rocks.

The sky above was filled with dark, heavy clouds.

Blue lightning flashed intermittently within the dark clouds, illuminating the entire earth in a pale blue hue, creating an eerie scene.

Occasionally, lightning would strike the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

He thought to himself, "This is the Netherworld; it's truly unique."

At this moment, the Soul-Crying Beast and the Level 6 Purple-Eyed Bi were within a hundred paces of him, walking towards him.

As soon as Tihun arrived, it jumped onto Li Shizhou's shoulder, while Zijingbi obediently lay down on the ground after arriving next to Li Shizhou.

In the original book, the Ghost Mist is described as having the ability to teleport randomly.

Therefore, after Li Shizhou fell into the sea, he clung tightly to the two demonic beasts, which is why he was not separated from them.

At this moment, his blue longsword was still on his back, while his silver spear had fallen five or six zhang away.

After carefully checking himself over, he found no injuries, so he picked up the spear and climbed onto the back of the Purple-Eyed Bi.

Although he cannot project his divine sense outwards now, Li Shizhou has practiced the Pure Yang Technique for a long time, making his five senses extremely sharp. He can clearly hear even the slightest sound within dozens of feet.

He patted the level six purple eye beneath him, identified a direction, and began to move forward, hoping to find a village where humans lived.

Although magic power cannot be mobilized here, the level six Purple-Eyed Bixie, as a demon beast, is naturally extremely powerful.

Li Shizhou and Ti Hun on its back were not heavy, but the silver spear weighed two or three thousand jin. The Purple-Eyed Bi carried it without any effort, running wildly on all fours, kicking up clouds of yellow dust along the way.

After traveling dozens of miles through the desert, the roars of beasts echoed from behind the hills ahead, interspersed with the screams of humans.

Li Shizhou was overjoyed. He rode the Purple-Eyed Bi over the hill, and his voice suddenly became louder.

Seven humans were seen fighting against nearly twenty monsters covered in red scales.

These humans were mostly tall and carried rudimentary weapons.

One of the middle-aged men, dressed in a blue robe, stood out among the group.

Because the robe he was wearing was a cultivator's robe, although it was different from the style of the Chaotic Star Sea, Li Shizhou still recognized it at a glance.

Those monsters had leopard-like heads, about ten feet long, with sharp fangs bared in their bared mouths, making them look exceptionally fierce.

The ground was already littered with the corpses of humans and monsters.

At this moment, a somewhat thin boy was knocked to the ground by a monster. The monster had already leaped up, and the human companions around him were too busy to help themselves.

Just as the boy was about to die in the beast's jaws, a flash of silver light appeared, followed by a loud whoosh.

The boy, who had been waiting to die with his eyes closed, opened them to find the monster covered in red scales pinned to a nearby boulder by a silver spear. The monster thrashed about a few times before going still.

It was Li Shizhou who came to his aid, throwing his silver spear like a javelin.

After rescuing the boy, he drew the blue longsword from his back, and the Purple-Eyed Bi carried him, transforming into a blur as it charged toward the monster.

Since Li Shizhou had planned to come to this Netherworld, he had naturally practiced some mortal swordsmanship.

In addition, the longsword in his hand was a cultivator's natal magic weapon. Although he could not use magic power to wield it now, the longsword itself was extremely sharp.

Even mortals can kill these monsters covered in red scales, so this sword is naturally no match for them.

With each swing of Li Shizhou's sword, a monster was decapitated, its blood splattering everywhere.

In just two breaths, the Purple-Eyed Bixie dodged left and right, and all the monsters that had been giving these mortals headaches had perished.

The scene fell silent. The few survivors, still reeling from the shock, stood frozen in place.

Only the middle-aged man in the blue robe bowed to Li Shizhou and said, "Brother, you have excellent skills. I am Lin Yuan. Judging from your attire, you must be a cultivator."

"Indeed, I am Li Shizhou. Are you perhaps also a cultivator?"

While wiping the beast blood off his sword, Li Shizhou answered, saying that he wouldn't encounter these people again after he left, so he directly gave his real name.

"Friend Li, I have indeed cultivated for some years. It was only thanks to your help that we survived in this desert."

It was just a small favor.

The others also recovered from their shock and bowed to express their gratitude. The thin young man even tried to help Li Shizhou pull the silver spear that was nailed to the boulder.

As a result, he strained with both hands, his face turning red, and tried to pull for a long time, but the spear didn't budge.

The others, besides Lin Yuan, came to help, but even with all six of them pulling together, they couldn't pull the spear out even a fraction of an inch.

"Let me do it; my spear is quite heavy."

Li Shizhou walked towards the boulder, and the crowd parted to make way for him. He held the silver spear in one hand and gently pulled it out.

These ordinary people were initially just shocked, but now they are filled with horror.

Lin Yuan was equally surprised and continued, "Fellow Daoist Li, you have great strength. Could you be a body-refining cultivator, and the creature beneath you is a spirit beast?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin guessed correctly. Not long ago, I was swept into this space by a black mist. I don't know what this place is, and I can't mobilize any spiritual power. I hope you can enlighten me." Li Shizhou asked, pretending to be curious.

He naturally knew the details of the Underworld, but he asked the question because he didn't want people to know that he had come here voluntarily to retrieve the treasure.

Cultivators are all shrewd people. If they knew, they would guess that he had a way out, and naturally they would want to go out with him.

If there are Nascent Soul cultivators inside, my life will be in someone else's hands after I get out.

However, the Soul-Crying Beast's enormous nose is quite conspicuous. If someone recognizes the beast and insists on following it out, he will have no choice but to kill it to silence it and eliminate the threat.

"It's normal for Fellow Daoist Li to be unfamiliar with this place since he's new here. I'll deal with these Yin Beasts first, and we'll talk later."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he took the weapon in his hand and dug towards the monster's head.
