Chapter 203: To the Soul Forest ③: Soul Evil Realm
"Everyone, you'd better get out alive. I'm looking forward to seeing who will be the opponent who can fight with me."
The one who could speak with such confidence and composure with a smile on his face must be the great prince of the Western Regions who has a strong military force and a high status.
Asu Yuyi drew out the sword with his backhand, spread his hands and threw out a swirling silver light, which flew suddenly towards the back of the crowd.
A "swish" sound was heard, followed by a sigh.
As I looked ahead, I saw the conspicuous hilt of the sword swaying slightly on the bamboo trunk, and streams of blood were oozing out from the bamboo branches.
"Monster, why don't you show yourself?"
With a whistling sound, the towering bamboo trunks were surrounded by black mist, and the next moment a ghostly and enchanting bamboo monster appeared before everyone's eyes.
She had a beautiful and delicate face, long braids wrapped with vines, and was wearing a green bamboo leaf shirt, but her bare feet were covered with broken thorns.
The woman raised her hand and pulled out the sword from her abdomen, and the wound healed quickly.
She said in a wronged and delicate voice: "My Lord, what are you doing? I have never hurt you in the slightest. Why do you want to bully a weak demon like me?"
The bamboo monster had red eyes and looked panicked with tears in her eyes, but no matter how hard she disguised herself, her feet revealed her thoughts.
"Weak monster? You are a fourth-level bamboo monster, but you actually say you are a weak monster. Then you can die."
Asu Pei Ye stepped down and slashed at the woman with the sword in his hand.
Suddenly, a powerful magic mist gathered, and the bamboo monster raised its hand to strangle the man's neck, but was pierced through the temple by a sharp silver needle.
She widened her eyes in horror, her eyes were as red as a blood demon, and blood covered her entire face. "You...you can't kill me."
Hearing this, Asu Peiye gently wiped the blood off the needle, as if he was looking at a treasure. Without even raising his head, he smiled calmly and said, "Then I'll poison you to death."
As she finished speaking, the woman screamed and turned into black smoke and disappeared in the mist.
"Look at how many poisons she prepared for me to defend myself. I'm worried that I won't be able to use them all. How about I give you some as a reward? Hey, you should have some too, right? It can't be... that she prepared them just for me, right?"
Everyone: "..."
The extremely arrogant man shook his high-tied golden hair. He crossed his arms and glanced at a few people with a smug attitude.
He had plenty of ways to deal with the fourth-level bamboo monster, but he just wanted to show off her care.
In order to make him use less spiritual power, Xu An read countless books and developed various poisons, some torturous, some deadly, some knocking out... He prepared a variety of matching ones.
However, most of the poison recipes were obtained by her from Qi Shichuan.
The drug that made several members of the Fox Tribe unconscious was also learned from him. However, he was not very skilled in making poison the first time and was only 60% successful.
Seeing the gloomy faces of the other people, Asu Pei Ye was in a good mood, his smile was particularly obvious, and as he walked forward, the six people in white and gold shirts followed behind him.
The sparse crowd gathered together again and walked forward.
"Little sister, why are you accompanying us?"
"Brother, although my spiritual level has not reached the fourth level, I am now Brother Yu's disciple. I cannot lose face for my master, and I cannot lose face for the sect. I will not hide behind my father out of fear of death. I want to let my father know that I can handle important responsibilities just like my brother."
Liu Yu held the flute, a mischievous smile spreading across her pretty face.
Seeing that she was not afraid at all, Liu Yixiao smiled and sighed, "The young lady of our Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion has really grown up."
"Brother, Dad actually values you very much. Dad has repented over the years. Why can't you try to forgive him?"
"Little sister, I believe that my mother would never forgive him if she were alive. I am not qualified to forgive him on her behalf. Our unborn brothers and sisters will not forgive him either."
"Brother...it's been so many years, Dad..."
"Take good care of yourself. Dad wants you to return alive more than I do."
The man interrupted his words of persuasion and walked into the darkness of the turbid air ahead to search for the marks left by the previous team.
A cloud of turbid air like smoke and fog hovered back and forth in the gloomy sky. It shuttled through the woods, following the footsteps of the crowd, as if looking for an opportunity to break this temporary peace.
The endless Forest of Souls was like an abyss, and the unknown fear was always watching them.
After an unknown amount of time, a turbid barrier appeared in front of Xu An and the other person.
"Xiao Zhu, help me see what kind of barrier this is."
I saw a rune with red flashing light jumping into the air, and after a look around, it turned into a scroll of bamboo slips.
[There are two major barriers in the Soul Forest, one is the realm of rebirth, the other is the realm of evil souls. The two realms are unpredictable and appear in various areas.
The afterlife world is a place with lush trees and glowing barriers. When one enters this world, one can forget about life and death, forget about pain, weave dreams of fairy music, and indulge in paradise for the rest of one's life.
The evil world of souls is full of wild beasts and the barrier is turbid. Entering this world will lead to a nightmare, greed, selfish desires, life and death, and nightmares that will surround you until you die. 】
"So unlucky? We got a soul evil world."
Xu An frowned and complained, her luck was so bad? The choice between the two options actually randomly refreshed a most disgusting barrier.
"Master, this world is dangerous. Most people who enter this world die in it. If I'm not mistaken, this world will only appear to those with spiritual roots above the fifth level. People below the sixth level cannot enter this world."
"That Chaos Monster is extremely vicious. This world is also set up to expose those who hide their spiritual roots. Once you step into it, the possibility of survival is extremely small. Master, go back. I will go to the Black Water Pond for you."
Bei Shu Yunxuan stood in front of her and tried to dissuade her, but how could Xu An be a deserter?
"Yun Xuan, do you still remember that day in the forbidden area? Actually, we had a fierce battle afterwards.
At that time, I was extremely afraid of death. In order to protect me, Ze'an and Mu Tou let me escape first, and they risked their lives to buy time for me.
At that time, I always thought that I didn’t dare to escape and couldn’t find a way to escape. After all, I had lost my life before, and I still wanted to go home. I didn’t think it was worth dying here.
But later, I joined the sect, and in the gloomy dungeon, I was grabbed by the ankle by a soul-sucking beast. At that time, I thought I was going to die.
But he came, Shen Yi came, he ran towards me covered in blood, he saved me, but he was also attacked back. At that moment, I hated my own incompetence and weakness. I used spiritual magic for the first time. Although I still don’t know what kind of spiritual magic it was, I finally saved him.
It was also at that time that I realized that I didn’t want to escape from the forbidden area at that time, but I didn’t have the ability to help them. I could only avoid causing trouble. I did as they said and escaped.
From Zhu Yu, I learned about talismans and weapons. He forced me to hang myself on a stake to open up my inner strength. I also developed an inexplicable belief because of this. I wanted to be a hero, I wanted to fight for justice, I wanted to eliminate violence and protect the good, I wanted to protect the people around me. I thought, maybe that's called a sense of responsibility?
When I accidentally became Princess Mu An and then a goddess, I suddenly felt so holy. I even put on airs and tried to make myself mature and stable so that I could take on responsibilities.
This time the monster in the Black Water Pond was possessed, and they didn't let me go. But I am no longer afraid of death, and I have the ability to protect others, those I care about, those who trust me, and those who are concerned about me.
Yunxuan, I said before, if a flower is pulled out from the vase, then this carefully arranged vase will be missing something, maybe it will be missing the fragrance, missing the beauty, or there will be an extra gap, and this gap may be just what makes people lose their minds.
Actually, what I said was not quite appropriate, but I believe you understand what I mean. I will not leave. Whether it is because of my duty or to help them, these are the reasons why I stay.
My mother and my mother once led them to victory, and I will definitely become a person like my mother.
I will continue her mission and uphold the ideas she has changed.
Women can also use swords to pacify the four directions, relieve the world's worries, and eliminate the evil dangers.
Yunxuan, if I can get out alive, I will explain my mother's deeds to you."
Her firm words were not only spoken to him, but also to herself.
Xu An used to be a person who would rather live a miserable life than die. She would never plan for death no matter how big the problem was. She had three meals a day and even when she was bullied, she would only fight back with all her strength. Even if no one was behind her, she would never let herself fall.
She was a life-loving person through and through, and the phrase "except death, everything else is trivial" was woven into her bones. So much so that when she fell into the water, even though the drug was taking effect, she struggled to open her eyes in an attempt to find a glimmer of hope.
However, now she is determined to stick to her beliefs even at the cost of her life. For her, more important people and more important beliefs have appeared.
"I wish to help Master, to pacify the four directions with my sword, to relieve the world's worries, and to eliminate the evil."
Bei Shu Yunxuan handed over the woman's sword. His handsome face was extremely serious, and his long, ink-black hair fluttered slowly in the wind. Every scene was as eye-catching as a painting.
His determined eyes met her trembling eyes, "Yun Xuan said, wherever the master is, I will be there, I will protect you with my life, and I will never break my promise."
Suddenly, Xu An was stunned, and a familiar yet unfamiliar picture flashed through his mind.
"Wherever the Master is, there I will be."
"For eternity, I will protect you with my life and even my death. I will never break my promise."
She suddenly felt heavy in her heart, as if she had been hit by something, and her mind was in disarray.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that gentle and handsome man staring at him. "Okay, you said it, and I will never break your promise."
As they stepped into the barrier, all the creatures in front of them transformed into monsters with human faces and bodies. They swung their arms and looked at the two greedily.
"New prey has arrived~ Why are there so many prey today? I can't eat them all~"
Weird laughter echoed in the air, and everything was looking at them closely with lowered eyes, the hunger in their eyes almost overflowing.
"Shun An."
Xu An raised his hand and sent out a sword light, then slashed towards the nearest tree monster, intending to chop off the limbs of that strange thing.
After a loud laugh, Shunan slowly retracted the sword and it flew into the scabbard.
“Shun’an, are you afraid of them?”
“Of course it’s afraid! Even people from the God Realm don’t dare to set foot here, and you two minions actually dare to barge in! Hahahaha! Those people in front have already entered the nightmare, and you will be there too~ Almost there~”
Xu An looked up, and saw that every tree had a creepy face. "Who else is there besides us?"
"There are many, many more people. Let's guess how long their spiritual roots can endure the torture. Hahahaha."
"They look familiar. They even brought someone from the God Realm with them. They are really courting death~ Courting death~"
"Hahahaha! It's you! It's you! Chaos Monster! Your old friends are here! They're here! Here!"
