Chapter 199 - Netherworld Ghost Realm



Chapter 199: Netherworld Ghost Realm

Wei Huo continued traveling along the Dragon Vein for 10 years.

When he stood on top of a small mountain, he saw a wide meadow. There were a few mountains in the distance. The mountains were divided into three colors. The bottom part was green, the middle part was grayish-brown, and the top part was white.

The mountains were so tall that they had three sections. The lower part was a prairie, the middle part was a desert, and the upper part was full of snow.

Chen Xuanyue floated to his shoulder and looked into the distance. She then sighed. “Is this Kunlun Mountain? It’s indeed majestic!”

When looking at Kunlun Mountain from afar, one would realize that it was indeed majestic and vast. The mountain range extended endlessly for thousands of kilometers from the main peak through the clouds until it reached the sky. The top of the cliff was as straight as a blade. From afar, it indeed looked like a hall built on top of the mountain.

It was no wonder there were rumors that this was the West Dowager Palace. It was different from the triangular mountain peaks of ordinary mountains. The top of Kunlun Mountain was both rectangular and triangular. At first glance, it looked like a small house painted with crayons by a child. It was just short of a window and a door.

This was the main peak of Kunlun Mountain. On both sides of the mountain were other mountain peaks of the Kunlun Mountain Range. These mountain peaks looked ordinary. They formed an ‘8’ shape and extended continuously. One mountain was the starting point, and they were divided into two branches. In the end, they kept extending continuously. One was northeast, while another was southeast. They formed two Dragon Veins, one of which extended east.

There was a city at the intersection between the two mountain ranges and the main peak of Kunlun Mountain. It looked like a modern city with tall buildings. However, Wei Huo felt a dead aura coming from the city.

The city might have been abandoned because it was not in the safe zone.

However, when Wei Huo descended from the mountain and was about to head to the main peak of Kunlun Mountain through the city, he saw a road. The road appeared too suddenly, and Wei Huo almost thought that he had transmigrated back 500 years ago.

He was confused. How could a road remain intact after such a long time? The road was very long. It led to the dead city ahead and to a tunnel behind it. However, the tunnel had collapsed.

It had been 500 years since the time halt, but the road was still intact. Either countless people had been standing on the road and using the golden light to protect the road, or the area was completely unaffected by time!

Wei Huo had already seen a place that was not affected by time. 500 years had passed, but the temple still existed. The path was not covered by weeds, and the steeple was still standing. An unknown force had protected them.

Could this place be the same?

Wei Huo was confused. He continued moving forward, but Chen Xuanyue was a little afraid. She hid in Wei Huo’s pocket and only revealed her small head. She looked around nervously.

Chen Xuanyue asked timidly, “Could this be a ghost city?”

Wei Huo was speechless. You’re a spirit. You’re just like a ghost. What are you afraid of?

Besides, although the silent city was weird, Wei Huo’s team did not give way. After all, two rocs were pulling a coffin behind them.

Chen Xuanyue was terrified. She hid in his pocket and trembled, but her eyes kept peeking outside.

Wei Huo said, “If you’re afraid, hide in your coffin.”

Chen Xuanyue was speechless.

That sounded a little weird.

She shook her head. “No, I just want to see what will happen.”

Wei Huo stopped talking. That was the mentality of many people who watched horror movies. They might be afraid, but the more afraid they were, the more they wanted to watch it.

Before long, Chen Xuanyue exclaimed, “Look! There’s something on the road! It’s staring at me!”

Wei Huo did not feel any spiritual waves. Ghosts were a kind of spiritual bodies. They would emit spiritual waves if they passed by.

Wei Huo walked toward the place Chen Xuanyue was pointing at. Chen Xuanyue kept shouting, “Don’t go over there! There are filthy things there!”

Chen Xuanyue was very nervous. She grabbed the edge of his pocket tightly and extended half her head. Her eyes were filled with anxiety.

Wei Huo was speechless. How could a spirit body of the Legendary level be afraid of ghosts?

Wei Huo walked over and saw a doll lying in a haystack by the road. The doll had a pair of wide eyes and a missing leg. Its hair was scarce, and its face was pale. It was smiling strangely.

“It’s just a toy.”

Chen Xuanyue was only looking at a toy. It was not something dirty. Although it was weird for a toy doll to appear in such a place, there were three Legendary creatures and an Epic-ranked creature in this team. What was there to be afraid of?

Wei Huo continued moving forward. Chen Xuanyue begged him. “Let’s make a detour. This city must be a ghost city. It’s so dark inside!”

The sky gradually darkened. On top of that, it was a cloudy day. The atmosphere gradually became weird.

Wei Huo spat out a mouthful of dragon flames. The dragon flames turned into four pairs of fire birds that surrounded the team. The high temperature expelled the moisture and the cold, and the flames chased away the darkness. Only then did Chen Xuanyue relax a little. She flew out of Wei Huo’s pocket and lay on his shoulder, focusing on her surroundings.

Wei Huo walked down the road and entered the city. The sky was dark, and there was no light or sound in the city. It was a real ghost city. There was no one inside.

However, the streets of the city were well-preserved. Although the buildings were a little old, it felt like only 50 to 60 years had passed, not 500 years. It seemed like a special force was protecting the city.

However, probably because this city was not a safe zone, all the residents had left.

At that moment, a cold wind howled from the northwest. The cold wind howled as if someone was screaming. Chen Xuanyue was so terrified that she hid in Wei Huo’s pocket.

Soon, a wolf’s howl could be heard from a distance. Carried by the sinister sound of the wind, it sounded like dreary cries and screams.

That was not the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was the sound of drums and gongs coming from an area in front of Wei Huo’s team. The sound of gongs and drums was very deep, making the atmosphere even weirder. The gongs and drums were also accompanied by sounds of crying.

If a group of ordinary people passed by this place, they would probably feel a chill run down their spines. However, Wei Huo and the others were passing by.

Wei Huo did not feel anything. The two rocs were even more confused. The little roc even said, “Is this human music? I have to say that it feels quite good.”

The two of them were not humans. Such a scene could not scare them, just like one could not scare their own dog when watching a horror movie. It was obviously a terrifying moment, but the dog would run around happily in the living room, either wagging its tail to interact with its owner or lying on its owner’s thighs and panting. There was no horrifying atmosphere at all.

Chen Xuanyue was the most afraid in the team. She was a spirit, yet she was terrified.

Soon, a few faint shadows appeared in front of Wei Huo. They were approaching Wei Huo’s team. The shadows did not move their bodies or their shoulders. It was as if they were floating over. Behind them seemed to be a coffin.
