Douluo's twin Douluo

Chapter 286 Opening of the Secret Sea of ​​Darkness

The canopy boat in front of everyone was about ten meters long, and it was fixed beside the Styx River with an iron lock.Su Jiu'er stepped forward and jumped up first, and the rest of Gu Lan and Gan Jue quickly followed, leaving only the three palace masters standing on the shore.

"Okay, you guys go back and preside over the rest."

Su Jiu'er waved his hands at them coldly, then turned around and got into the tent.

"it is good."

The three palace masters didn't care either. After nodding their heads, they looked at Gan Jue and the others.

"You four boys, remember to collect more Death Soul Stones and come back. Don't disappoint the city lord's high expectations, otherwise, I will throw you into the wilderness."

Among the masters of Sanming Palace, Bai Kou spoke first.

"The Death Soul Stone is certainly important, but you don't have to force it too much. Preserving yourself is the most important thing. Even if you don't bring anything back, we can still live on next year."

Su Xun looked at Thorne and the others, but told them to pay attention to safety.

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely come back intact, go back!"

Thorne smiled and waved to Su Xun, then turned and walked into the tent.

Zang Mu didn't speak, but met Long Xiao's eyes, the two had already communicated, and Long Xiao turned around and entered the tent.

In the end, only Gan Juan and Gu Lan were left standing outside. Seeing that Gu Lan had taken off the iron chains on the boat, and the covered boat started to move along the rushing Styx, Gan Jue cupped his hands at Su Xun and the three, turned around and followed the covered boat, and sank into the darkness.

This canopy boat is actually very simple. Although the boat is more than ten meters long, there is nothing inside, just a canopy for shelter from wind and rain.

The canopy boat went down the river, and after drifting in the dark Styx for about ten minutes, the surface of the Styx began to calm down again, glowing with green light.Gulan also released his martial spirit, and a Gulan holy bead floated to the stern of the boat, and began to push the boat forward, gradually sailing out of the dark underground, and once again saw the dark sky of the underworld.

Gan Jue stood at the stern of the boat, looking back, the majestic Death Soul City in the distance stood above the Styx River. Because of the Styx River ritual, the Death Soul City appeared to be more prosperous than usual, with countless lights ignited and brilliant lights.

And below the Dead Soul City, the underground hole is like a huge mouth of a beast, from which the water of the Styx flows out mightily. On the surface of the Nuoda River, there is only a flat boat in which Gan Jue and others are riding, walking alone in the brimming green light.

"Ugh"

Gan Jue sat down at the stern with some sentimentality.In the blink of an eye, he had been in Dead Soul City for almost half a year, and he didn't know what happened to Rongrong and the others.There is also Tang San Xiaowu, I don't know if they are still separated now, and whether Oscar will leave alone to make a living. .

But fortunately, he was doing well in Dead Soul City, and Su Jiuer and others treated him very well. After today's ceremony, Gan Jue gradually let go of his defenses against Su Jiuer and the others, saw the truth of Dead Soul City, and believed that they would really not harm him.

How should I put it, in fact, Dead Soul City is just a special group living in a corner. Because of the special geographical environment of the Underworld, they have to go to the Secret Sea of ​​Darkness to obtain Death Soul Stones every year to ensure that their ordinary citizens can live in the secret.After all, with a sufficient base, it is possible to give birth to a powerful and talented soul master.

And there are many dangers in the secret realm of the underworld, and if the Death Soul City wants to bring back enough Death Soul Stones from it, it must have top-level combat power.Regardless of the fact that Dead Soul City sends people into the Underworld Secret Realm every year, and the Dark Sea Secret Realm usually only allows soul masters above Soul Sage to enter, but in fact, the Death Soul Stones brought back by the Styx Secret Team every year are all small heads.

Therefore, the souls in the Styx will gradually decrease, and the city of dead souls will begin to decline, because if there are not enough souls, their top-level combat power will decrease, and the reduction of top-level combat power will lead to fewer dead soul stones they take out from the secret realm of the sea of ​​​​underworld, which will cause the city of dead souls to decline.

It was also for this reason that Su Jiu'er brought Dead Soul City to Douluo Continent, began to mutilate innocents, plundered souls and turned them into evil soul masters, in order to enhance their strength in Dead Soul City.

But apart from this point, looking at the interior of Dead Soul City, the people in Dead Soul City are actually very good.Because they are all members of the same clan, there are few conflicts and intrigues between people, and they are even more decent than decent.This can be seen from the fact that Su Jiuer, Gu Lan and others have always been very kind to Gan Jue.

Of course, this is not the reason why Dead Soul City can do evil, but knowing the truth, at least Gan Jue won't have to worry so much about Su Jiu'er and the others having other plans for him.

Gan Jue and others drove on the Styx River for about two days, and finally gradually approached the Styx Sea.At this time, the Styx River has reached a width of several hundred meters, and the banks on both sides are almost invisible, and the Styx Sea in front of it is even more vast and boundless.On the surface of the sea, green fluorescence shrouded, like a nether world.

"Ancient, are we going to enter the sea of ​​darkness on this ship?"

Gan Jue asked Gu Lan with some doubts.

"Of course, otherwise, what kind of boat do you want to take?"

Gu Lan spread his hands and said indifferently.

"Is this boat too small to survive the wind and waves at sea?"

Gan Jue was a little speechless, Minghai is the sea.This canopy boat can still be used in small rivers and small rivers. If it enters the sea, it is estimated that there will be a wave, and this boat will be gone.

"Hehe, don't worry. With me and the city lord around, what are you afraid of? With our soul power covering us, no matter how big the storm is, the boat will not capsize."

"Okay, then how long are we still away from the Secret Sea of ​​Darkness?"

"It will probably take two days to wander in the sea of ​​darkness. After all, the secret realm is located in the depths of the sea of ​​darkness."

"There are still two days"

After receiving the answer, Gan Jue could only nod his head, suppressed his impatience, and continued to practice with his eyes closed in the boat canopy.

The boat crossed the river bank, sailed into the sea of ​​darkness, and went all the way to the depths of the sea of ​​darkness. This journey took another two days.

at last.

"arrive."

Gu Lan withdrew her martial spirit and spoke.

"arrive?"

Gan Jue heard Gulan's voice, his consciousness withdrew from the soul space, and he opened his eyes.

"Well, it's here. However, there should be some time before the Mystery of the Underworld appears, so hurry up and refresh."

"Um"

Gan Jue responded, got up and came to the bow.

The vast sea of ​​darkness stretches as far as the eye can see, and there is nothing to see around. As far as the eye can see, it is all the dark sky of the underworld and the faint green light of the sea of ​​darkness.

Gan Jue has never seen the sea before, and the sea in his impression is rough and blue.But these two days of walking on the sea of ​​darkness, he didn't see any waves, and the sea of ​​darkness seemed to be a pool of stagnant water.

"Uncle Gu, how did you confirm that this is the entrance to the secret realm of the Underworld? Also, have you ever been to the end of the Underworld?"

Gan Jue opened his mouth and asked Gu Lan about the doubts in his heart.

"Hehe, the entrance to the Secret Sea of ​​Darkness is not fixed. As long as you are in the depths of the Sea of ​​Darkness, the secret land will naturally appear in front of your eyes after a year. As for the end of the Sea of ​​Darkness, you can't find it if you haven't been there."

Gulan, who had recovered his soul power cross-legged, replied.

"Oh"

Gan Jue sat down on the edge of the bow, looked at the dark sea under his feet, released his martial soul, and showed it.

The dark and elegant wolf spirit appeared in front of Gan Jue. After Gan Jue reached out and touched it, he controlled the wolf spirit and plunged into the sea of ​​darkness.

Gan Jue closed his eyes, feeling the wolf spirit's perspective.There was darkness in the Nether Sea, and even though the wolf spirit's flaming eyes could illuminate the darkness around it, it couldn't see anything except the splash.The Underworld, known as the final destination of the soul, is completely dead silent. There are no living things, not even souls.

Perhaps, this is the true destination of life, nothing will be left
"What do you think?"

When Gan Jue was thinking about life, Mu Yun suddenly came to the bow and sat beside Gan Jue.

"Think about life, think about the meaning of human existence."

"."

Mu Yun was speechless, ignoring Gan Jue's answer, but said:
"Soon we will enter the secret realm of the Underworld, are you worried?"

"What are you worried about? Didn't Team Leader Fang teach us a lot of experience? If we act according to his experience, there is a high probability that there will be no problems. Don't think about things."

"Although that's what you say, if you really act according to experience, there will be no problems, so why do the Underworld Secret Team lose manpower basically every year?"

"Huh? Are you scared?"

Gan Jue turned to look at Mu Yun in surprise.

"It wasn't like this during your special training. I thought you weren't afraid of anything."

"That's different, and my poison probably won't work on those soul servants in the Secret Sea of ​​Darkness. Actually, I don't understand why you don't let Team Leader Fang replace me. This is good for me and the Holy City. With Team Leader Fang leading the team, you will definitely be safer inside, and I don't have to take risks. I guess, if I go inside, I may become a burden to you."

Mu Yun pushed a strand of red hair behind his ear, and whispered sadly.

"Don't worry, you won't be a burden."

"Ok?"

"Because no matter how bad it is, you can still be a porter and take the Death Soul Stone for us."

Gan Jue patted Mu Yun's keyboard and said with a smile.

"..., you are here to think about life slowly!"

After Mu Yun gave Gan Jue a glance, he turned and walked into the boat tent.

"Haha, boy, why are you so confused."

Gu Lan, who had been recovering his soul power not far away, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Gan Jue and said with a smile.

"Miss Ren obviously hopes that you can comfort her. Look at what you said."

"Isn't this comforting?"

Gan Jue also rolled her eyes, then approached Gu Lan, and asked in a low voice:
"Ancient, I don't understand this either. If Muyun's poison really doesn't have any effect on Samurai Soul, it's obviously the best choice to let Team Leader Fang replace her. Why didn't the City Lord do this?"

"Well, maybe, she wants you to cultivate a relationship. You know, only after experiencing life and death together can the mutual relationship be deeper. Do you know why there has never been a dispute between the palace master and the city master in our Death Soul City? Because they have all entered the secret realm of the Underworld together, and the relationship between each other is very deep, so basically there will be no conflicts and the like."

"Is that so?"

Gan Jue nodded, which made sense.

"Okay, hurry up and replenish your status. Maybe at some point, the Secret Sea of ​​Darkness will appear. After you go in, you won't even have time to rest."

"Ok."

Gan Jue nodded, touched the pendant on his chest with his finger, and a piece of dried meat appeared in his hand.

"Do you eat ancient?"

"Hehe, eat it yourself."

Gulan smiled and waved to him.At this moment, Su Jiuer also came to the bow.

Standing on the deck, she began to look around, with a different emotion in her eyes.

Back then, her father died in battle in the secret realm of the Underworld.When the Divine Light of the Underworld appears next year, and the Mystery of the Underworld no longer restricts the cultivation of the entrant, she will enter the depths of the Mystery of the Underworld to investigate.At that time, no matter whether she can find out the real secret of this mysterious sea of ​​darkness and make the city of dead souls no longer rely so much on the dead soul stone, she will be able to let go of all her burdens.

Today's Dead Soul City has returned to prosperity from decline, so even if he sees his father, he will feel relieved, right?
Su Jiuer watched from the bow for half an hour, and Gan Jue also sat in the bow, gnawing on the jerky silently for half an hour.At this moment, a wave suddenly surged up on the relatively calm sea and hit the bow of the boat.

Su Jiu'er lowered her head, looked at the wet shoes, and said softly:
"coming."

Gan Jue stood up quickly, Gu Lan, Long Xiao and the other four also came to the bow of the boat.

On the calm sea in front of them, undercurrents visible to the naked eye suddenly began to surge. As the sea water rushed, a huge vortex gradually formed in front of them, and it became more and more urgent. The turbulent vortex flowed towards the center of the vortex.

Su Jiu'er immediately released the black bird martial soul, and the charming black bird flashed away outside her body. The faint blue soul power surged out from Su Jiu'er's body, wrapped the entire hull, and stopped the boat on the turbulent vortex.

Everyone watched as the vortex in front of them gradually grew larger. Soon, the diameter exceeded several hundred meters, and the depth in the center of the vortex also reached more than tens of meters.A mysterious wormhole emitting faint black light suddenly appeared in the deepest part of the vortex.

Gan Jue knew from Fanghuang's teaching that this was the wormhole in the secret realm of the Underworld.As long as they are sucked into the wormhole along the vortex and regain consciousness again, they will appear in the secret realm of the Styx.

Seeing the appearance of the wormhole, Gan Jue Longxiao and others quickly took out a round clock-like thing from the storage soul guide and started it.

It's a timer, and when the hands complete one revolution, that's when they come out.

"Go."

Su Jiu'er turned her head and looked at Gan Jue and the others.

"Remember, you must come out in a month, otherwise you will be trapped in the secret realm. Also, what Uncle Xun said is right, if there is really something you can't do, you should choose to protect yourself first."

"it is good!"

Gan Jue, Fang Huang and the others did not hesitate. After looking at each other, they jumped into the sea of ​​darkness together.Following the vortex, it soon came to the front of the wormhole.

At this moment, Gan Jue adjusted his body.He turned his head to look at the tented boat. Su Jiu'er stood on the bow and looked at him quietly.The two only had time to look at each other for a second before Gan Jue was completely sucked into the wormhole and disappeared into the vortex.

. . . .
