Scientific research shows that things living in the dark are generally phototactic.
The Nine Netherland we are in is shrouded in darkness all year round. Once light appears, it will come from all directions.
I just lit the real sun fire for lighting, but unexpectedly the overwhelming heat wave and red light became the most dazzling existence in this dark world.
Everything that sensed the heat wave and light rushed toward us without hesitation.
Just when he was secretly regretting it, he heard Yu Buren shouting sharply: "Here we come!"
Almost at the same time, the dark wind howled, and countless ghost figures rushed toward us.
The formation of those ghosts is very strange. In the Yang world, ghosts generally exist as separate individuals, because every ghost is a once-living person.
The stronger ghosts have three souls and seven souls, and their thinking is relatively sound. The weaker ghosts may be dull or irritable, but they are also independent individuals.
The ghost here is different. It feels like a surging tide. When it sweeps over, it feels like I have fallen into a thick liquid.
Zhang Wuren sneered: "Seeking death!"
He stretched out his hand and patted it, and the Pangu flag spun around in his hand, and then fell steadily to the ground. The black flag trembled and continued to expand in the cold wind.
There was a vague scream all around. Maybe because of the frequency of the sound wave, I couldn't hear it very clearly, but the three souls and seven souls were shaken by the sound wave.
At the same time, the sticky feeling was swept away in an instant, and no ghost dared to stay here within the scope of Pangu Banner.
He Zhonghua stomped his feet slightly, and a piece of ghost writing quickly spread along the ground towards the surroundings. A puzzled expression appeared on his face and he said: "Soul tide?"
Yu Buren nodded: "Yes, it's a soul wave! Be careful, this thing can assimilate our souls."
I have also heard about the origin of the soul tide, which is that when the souls are condensed to a certain extent, countless individual souls will merge with each other and become a soul like a tide.
To put it simply, the soul tide is equivalent to a sea, and the countless black shadows are equivalent to every drop of water in the sea. The black shadow cannot be separated from the soul tide, and the soul tide cannot be separated from the black shadow.
The biggest threat to us from the soul tide is assimilation. Once we fall into the soul tide, we will be enveloped by endless souls. Unless our souls are strong enough to suppress the entire soul tide, we can only wait to be assimilated.
It's a pity that Zhang Wuren's Pangu Flag has a natural suppressive effect on this thing. Once the Pangu Flag was erected, it instantly cleared away all the black shadows around it that dared to approach.
Zhang Wuren said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, wake up Liu Tieshou and Huang Buya. We need them to show us the way."
I agreed, reached out and patted Liu Tieshou and Huang Buya on their foreheads, and saw their souls rippling, constantly affecting their three souls and seven souls.
In fact, this kind of soul resonance has certain harm to them. Originally, we wanted to wait for them to wake up slowly, but the arrival of the soul wave suddenly gave us a great sense of threat.
Who cares about the sequelae at this time? Wake them up first.
My soul kept shaking, and soon I heard the two men grunting, and opened their eyes blankly. Liu Tieshou reacted quickly, and after being confused for a moment, he quickly said: "Are we here?"
He turned over and stood up, then looked around, frowned and said, "So many souls!"
Huang Buya said softly: "Isn't that good? I can let you eat as much as you want."
Liu Tieshou's favorite thing is to swallow souls, but he curled his lips and said: "Eat shit! What I like to eat are those delicious souls. The bigger the resentment, the better. These souls are all fused together, and it's not good for them."
It's like mud to me."
"Hey, none of you exorcists like to eat mud, right?"
Yu Buren smiled and said: "It turns out there are still souls in the world that you don't want to eat."
Liu Tieshou chuckled and said: "If I'm extremely hungry, I can swallow a few mouthfuls of Soul Tide, but now, forget it, the taste is too bad, and it's a pain to eat."
Zhang Wuren said softly: "Think too much. If you don't want to become part of the soul tide, you'd better not eat anything here. Mr. Huang Buya, where is the approximate direction of Xuwei Mountain?"
In the land of Jiuyou, there is no distinction between east and west, north and south. There are no sun, moon and stars to guide you, and there are no mountains, rivers and earth to identify the way. Even the direction of the air flow is chaotic.
Only when the earth essence is not suppressed can we distinguish the road in the dark and dark land.
Perhaps because he was forcibly awakened, Huang Buya's mind was a little confused. He shook his head vigorously and said: "The land of Jiuyou is pure yin and has no yang, but the yin qi is chaotic, so the traditional method of looking at qi will not work at all."
"But this place is also part of the earth. As long as there are soil, mountains and rocks, it won't be a problem for me."
The earth spirit Huang Buya is a spirit made from a stone, and he is born with a great affinity for the earth, mountains and rocks. As long as he stands on the ground, he will be familiar with the direction of the surrounding mountains and rivers.
This is Huang Buya's talent, and no one can replace it.
I saw him closing his eyes and feeling carefully, and said: "In the dangerous mountains, there are no grass on the mountains, no peaks reaching into the sky, no visitors on the ridges, no clouds in the caves, and no flowing water in the streams. There are monsters in front of the shore, and there are no mountains below."
Gods and demons. Wild ghosts are collected in caves, and evil spirits are hidden at the bottom of streams."
"If we want to go, we should follow the earth's veins and go all the way down."
After he finished speaking, a stone-carved compass appeared in his hand. In the compass, a yellow arrow was flashing continuously.
Huang Buya said: "Follow the arrow. When we meet the monsters on the shore, the gods and demons under the mountains, the wild ghosts in the caves, and the evil spirits at the bottom of the stream, we will arrive at Xuwei Mountain!"
Zhang Wuren glanced at the direction pointed by the arrow and shouted: "I will protect the team, who will open the way?"
He Zhonghua smiled and said: "I'll do it!"
He stamped his feet again, and countless ghost characters poured out, forming a rune avenue under his feet. The road followed the ground and extended directly to invisible places. The faint light formed runes with various meanings.
I secretly admired that Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua were worthy of being the strong men who created the Yin Yang Shop. Just by doing it, the pressure from the surrounding soul tide instantly disappeared.
Yu Buren took the lead and moved forward with his sword in hand. I walked at the end of the team, always on guard against all kinds of evil spirits that appeared in the soul tide.
We walked at a more cautious pace at the beginning, one step at a time, but after a while we gradually picked up the pace.
At our speed, walking quickly is basically equivalent to ordinary people running. However, this speed is nothing in the dark and dark land of Jiuyou. After more than an hour, we became a little impatient.
Yu Buren said: "It's too slow to continue like this. Mr. Huang Buya, can we use the Shrinking Earth Technique?"
Huang Buya hesitated for a moment and replied: "Yes, it is possible, but once the Shrinking Earth Technique is used, the energy fluctuations caused will be too large, and it is estimated that it will attract many evil spirits in the darkness."
Zhang Wuren breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us. We only have three weeks. If we can't find Xuwei Mountain in a short time, this mission will be considered a failure."
"Just use the Shukuchi Technique and leave the evil spirits you attract to me!"
Zhang Wuren spoke, but He Zhonghua didn't say anything and said with a smile, "Everyone, hurry up! If you fall behind at this time, you will be alone!"
After he finished speaking, his steps stumbled slightly, and his body suddenly became blurry.
We followed suit and used the magic of shrinking to an inch. The runes flickered and disappeared in an instant. When they reappeared, they were already several kilometers away.
He Zhonghua looked back and saw that everyone was following him, so he nodded slightly and used the Shrinking Technique to keep moving forward. The ghost writings under his feet continued to spread, and wherever he went, rays of light appeared everywhere, giving us a glimpse of the darkness.
Guiding the way.
However, the brightness of the ghost text also attracted many evil spirits in the darkness. In addition to the soul wave that was still approaching us, there were also bursts of roars chasing after us from the darkness.
Zhang Wuren didn't take it seriously. The Pangu flag covered the sky and blocked out the sun. All the evil spirits who dared to get close were sucked into the Pangu flag.
Unexpectedly, those remnant souls in the darkness have no sanity at all. Even if they are absorbed by Pangu Banner, they will continue to move forward.
They are just souls that want to take a bite of the real soul.
While I was secretly admiring, I suddenly heard a faint singing voice coming from a distance. I listened carefully and was surprised to find that the tone was that of a popular Internet hit song in the past two years.
I paused slightly on my feet and listened attentively. I only heard the vague and indistinct singing voice, but there was no doubt that this tune was indeed a song that I was used to listening to.
At that moment, I stood firm without hesitation and whispered: "There is someone!"
