Chapter 138: Dragon Lice Devouring Malevolent Entities

Except for vision.

All of Wu Xian's senses were telling him that there was a bloody river full of wronged souls and fierce ghosts ahead.

But having had the previous experience.

Wu Xian didn't believe easily, nor did he easily not believe.

He squatted halfway and placed his palm virtually at a position thirty centimeters away from the ground. His body swayed slightly due to standing on one leg for a long time. Fortunately, his balance was better than ordinary people.

Earth Spike Curse!

Wu Xian flicked his fingers slightly and released the curse, but his hand didn't touch anything, which made his face change, and his foot stopped in mid-air and didn't move anymore.

The Earth Spike Curse is a precious talisman.

The effect is to release an earth spike with a volume of one cubic meter. The shape can be customized by the caster. The earth spike Wu Xian just released was a short and fat earth spike with a height of only thirty centimeters rising under his palm.

If it was flat ground below, it should have just touched his palm.

Although thirty centimeters high was a bit wasteful, it was the best height because if it were lower, Wu Xian's posture would be hard to maintain, and if it were higher, the earth spike would block the road, and Wu Xian would not be able to move forward next.

But the earth spike didn't appear.

This shows that there was indeed a river of unknown depth under his feet. The girl didn't lie to him!

"Come down!"

"Be with us!"

"Everyone is together, all in the blood, you come too."

The pungent smell of blood surged, and the wronged souls below kept calling to Wu Xian. Their bodies and the blood pool kept colliding. One floated up, and would be squeezed down by another, just like koi fish in a fish pond grabbing fish food...

These sounds made terrifying scenes appear in Wu Xian's mind. He was suddenly a bit glad that he closed his eyes, so he didn't have to see the horror in front of him.

After a while, the smell of blood suddenly disappeared.

The girl said to Wu Xian in surprise: "The Naihe has disappeared again, big brother, you can move forward."

Wu Xian was stunned for a moment.

It just disappeared?

Then Wu Xian remembered that the underworld official had said before that the Huang Quan Road was ever-changing and changing every moment. Perhaps what they said wasn't all lies, and a part of it was true.

After all, a lie with nine truths and one falsehood is the most deceptive.

Wu Xian used the Weird Armor to probe, confirmed that the road ahead was solid ground, and then stepped down.

The further he walked.

The more difficult it was to move forward.

The Naihe tributary crowded with wronged souls and blood, the ghost ant march that devours everything, the heavy guillotine that could cut people at the waist, the abyss that would never be climbed out of if one fell...

Every step was full of danger.

Fortunately, the girl had been reminding Wu Xian, helping Wu Xian pass safely, so that he didn't even have a scratch on his body.

The girl's grandfather had been persuading his granddaughter to stay away from this living person, but the girl still stubbornly helped Wu Xian, which earned her a little bit of Wu Xian's trust.

Since when, the old man seemed to have given up, and his voice, like that of the Daoist and monk, never appeared again.

Accompanied by the decrease in the remaining steps.

Wu Xian could feel some changes happening in himself. His skin was much colder, his body temperature was almost the same as the ambient temperature, the human smell on his body gradually dissipated, replaced by a faint stench of rot, and his skin presented the stiffness and paleness of the dead.

It looked like he was turning into a dead person.

But Wu Xian could feel.

Only his appearance was turning from life to death.

The black scale skin and the stylish malevolent skin turned into a burial suit with cold death intent, and Wu Xian's warm Yang longevity was covered by this outer garment.

When he walked to the twenty-fourth step, the situation Wu Xian least wanted to encounter appeared!

"Big brother, be careful... he's already here... right behind you!"

"Shh, little girl, don't talk!"

This time, the one speaking was a man with a hoarse voice.

While walking those few steps just now, Wu Xian chatted with the girl. Through her eyes, Wu Xian confirmed the environment around him and at the same time discovered that the scholar hadn't lied about one thing.

That was that there was really a ghost observing Wu Xian from afar!

This ghost had long hair and white clothes, with bloodstains on its chest flowing down to its feet; its complexion was pale and numb, and its eyes carried a chilling cruelty.

When Wu Xian walked to the twenty-fifth step.

This ghost finally started to act.

*Slap! *

The white-clothed malevolent entity patted Wu Xian on the shoulder.

Wu Xian didn't look back, but swung the shield and hit behind him.

*Whoosh! *

The shield hit empty space.

But this time it wasn't the feeling of nothingness. Wu Xian could feel that something had rushed past him. This thing was strangely fast and made a *whoosh* sound when moving.

"Whoosh..."

Wu Xian's eyelids jumped violently. A breath of air was suddenly blown onto his left eyelid!

This breath carried the stench of corpses and the cold smell of blood. Wu Xian trembled and almost opened his eyes to look, but he resisted the impulse.

This white-clothed malevolent entity saw that Wu Xian was just enduring it, and its actions became even more excessive. Cold fingers actually stuck to Wu Xian's eyelids, and the fingers gradually exerted force, as if wanting to dig out Wu Xian's eyes!

*Swish! *

Wu Xian activated the Weird Armor, and many spikes suddenly emerged on his face, forcing the fingers away, but this could only be considered a temporary delay of the white-clothed malevolent entity's offensive.

He closed his eyes and couldn't perceive his surroundings.

If this continues, only death awaits him.

He was like a panicked beast targeted by a hunter, knowing that danger existed but not knowing the hunter's specific location. As long as the hunter pulled the trigger, he would fall to the ground.

That white-clothed malevolent entity didn't even need to kill Wu Xian; as long as it forced Wu Xian to open his eyes or change his position, it would be a success.

A fierce look flashed in Wu Xian's eyes.

Even if a hunter hunts a beast, it is possible for the beast to counter-kill the hunter!

"Since I can't see... then let things that can see help me attack!"

"Insect Devouring Curse!"

*Clatter, clatter, clatter... *

Some large insects suddenly crawled out of Wu Xian's hands. Based on the touch, Wu Xian felt that each of these insects was as huge as a stag beetle, their bodies were heavy, and their feet and shells had sharp barbs.

If it weren't for the natural thick skin, just these insects crawling under his hands would have been enough to make Wu Xian bleed.

Twenty Huang Quan Dragon Lice appeared in succession. Accompanied by the humming sound, they flew to attack the malevolent entity. The malevolent entity that was teasing Wu Xian was immediately entangled by the dragon lice.

The white-clothed malevolent entity screamed: "What is this..."

*Squish, squish. *

Several sounds of dragon lice being crushed came one after another. These insects were still a bit too fragile.

Then the white-clothed malevolent entity let out a shrill scream. Its flesh and blood were being torn by the dragon lice. These dragon lice even burrowed into its skin and gnawed on its internal organs!

For malevolent entities, internal organs generally don't play a role in maintaining life, but internal organs are also part of their ghost bodies after all. Being gnawed on will also cause them damage.

And once the insects burrow into the interior, it's not something that can be gotten out just by wanting to!

Regarding the underworld river, let me make a small explanation. I dare not say it's popular science, because I also saw it from elsewhere.

In various literary works, there are many names for the underworld river, such as the Yellow Springs, Wangchuan, Sanzu River, and Nai River.

But in fact, the Naihe is the native underworld river in Chinese mythology.

Huang Quan originally referred to underground rivers, and was later used to refer to the underworld.

Wangchuan actually originated from Greek mythology.

Sanzu River originated from Japanese mythology.

But now the Naihe has the lowest popularity, hahaha.
