Chapter 427

Crossing the River Styx

"You …"

The Undying Underworld King looked at the calm young man in front of him in disbelief. He couldn't understand why this young man looked as if nothing had happened even though his sharp claws had pierced through the young man's heart. He didn't even seem to be injured.

"I'm sorry!

In a sense, I'm immortal. As long as it's not a vital part, I'm immortal, even if my heart is pierced. "

Shaking his head, Zhuowen smiled faintly. The wound on his left chest that was almost pierced through by the Undying Underworld King was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within three breaths, the terrifying wound was completely healed. There was not even a scar left.

Seeing Zhuowen's terrifying recovery ability, the Undying Underworld King's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. The young man in front of him was clearly a human. How could he have such a terrifying recovery ability?

However, the Undying Underworld King's doubts could no longer be answered because Zhuowen's fist, which was wrapped in bloody flames, grew larger and larger in his eyes. Then, the Undying Underworld King felt his vision go dark …

After dealing with the Undying Underworld King, Zhuowen shrugged and frowned: "This Undying Underworld King might be the key to leaving the River Styx. Unfortunately, this guy is not friendly at all. It seems that I have to think of a way to leave the River Styx."

Whoosh whoosh!

At this moment, two whooshing sounds were heard. Soon after, Gu Xin and Hu Wuying arrived in front of Zhuowen from afar.

"Brother Zhuo, you summoned us in such a hurry. Did you find some clues?" Gu Xin said with a smile with excitement on her face.

"Yes!

I did find some clues. This is the Underworld Token I just obtained. It's said to be a pass to leave the River Styx, but I don't know how to use it!

The only person who knew how to use it, the Undying Underworld King, was killed by me just now. "

Throwing the Underworld Token to Gu Xin and Hu Wuying, Zhuowen pointed at the dead Undying Underworld King behind him and began to narrate what had happened just now.

"Underworld Token?

Undead Underworld King?

However, that Undying Underworld King was truly hateful. The moment he appeared, he wanted to suck Brother Zhuo's blood essence. So what if he was killed!

Since this Nether Tablet is the key to passing through the Nether River, we might be able to find a way to use this Nether Tablet if we try to figure it out. "

Gu Xin and Hu Wuying didn't blame Zhuowen at all. After all, if they were in the same situation, they wouldn't hesitate to take action.

However, after looking at the Netherworld Token over and over again, they finally gave up in disappointment. This was because they couldn't figure out what the Netherworld Token was for!

"What's going on with the second floor of the Elemental Tower?

The three of us have just entered, and we're actually going to be trapped on this desolate island? "Hu Wuying said somewhat irritably.

Zhuowen and Gu Xin looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Just now, the three of them had examined the Netherworld Tablet one by one. They had used all the methods they could think of, but they still couldn't discover the mystery of the Netherworld Tablet.

Creak!

Creak!

A creepy sound suddenly sounded in the open space, causing Zhuowen and the other two's muscles to tense up. They looked around vigilantly.

"Don't be so nervous!

Tsk tsk, brat, you really hurt me just now. You actually made me take so long to recover from it.

Don't you know how to respect the old and love the young? Don't you know how to be gentle? "A sharp voice sounded in the open space and reverberated.

Zhuowen and the other two only then noticed that the owner of the voice was the Undying Underworld King, who was lying on the ground and had been beaten into a pile of rotten meat by Zhuowen.

At this time, the Undying Underworld King was wriggling and twisting in a very strange posture on the ground. Then, countless white maggots covered the Undying Underworld King's body. In an instant, the Undying Underworld King's muscles were eaten clean, leaving only a black skeleton.

Creak!

The black skeleton slowly stood up and stretched. It turned one hundred and eighty degrees on the spot and yawned. It said lazily, "I still like the feeling of having no flesh. That sticky flesh sticking to my body is really disgusting!"

Looking at the shameless black skeleton in front of them, Zhuowen and the other two's foreheads were full of black lines. However, they didn't let down their guard. After all, the Undying Underworld King wasn't a good person.

"You're actually not dead?" Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and said in surprise.

"Why are you making such a fuss?

Since I'm called the Undying Underworld King, it means that I have an immortal body. If I'm killed by you so easily, do you think I'm worthy of being called the Undying Underworld King? "

The black eye sockets of the Undying Underworld King glared at Zhuowen with hidden bitterness, causing Zhuowen and the other two to have goosebumps.

Hearing this, Zhuowen frowned. He didn't expect the Undying Underworld King to have an immortal body. Although the attack power of the Undying Underworld King wasn't high, the difficulty of dealing with the immortal body was quite a headache for Zhuowen!

"Why are the three of you so nervous?

It's not like I'm going to eat you. Also, your strength is quite good. Moreover, your recovery speed is also very terrifying. It's quite impressive for you to be able to kill me. "

The Undying Underworld King rested his chin on his right hand and gently stroked his chin with his fingers. The originally expressionless skeleton actually forced this fellow to make a difficult movement and smile.

"What are you trying to do?" Zhuowen felt that he couldn't see through the Undying Underworld King and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry!

I won't look for you to fight. Although I'm immortal, I'm not so cheap as to be abused by others.

To tell you the truth, I'm the ruler of this River Styx. In other words, I'm in charge of this River Styx. Don't you want to cross the River Styx?

Of course, it's not wrong to look for me. "The Undying Underworld King once again revealed his signature cheap smile that deserved a beating.

"You're willing to help us cross the River Styx?" Gu Xin quickly asked.

"You've also noticed that the entrance to the second floor of the Origin Qi Tower is this vast and boundless River Styx. And the Underworld Token is the pass to cross the River Styx!

Only by crossing the River Styx can you reach the core of the Trial Mountain. "The Undying Underworld King spoke with assurance.

"Trial Mountain?

Since that's the case, we've already obtained the Underworld Token. How do we cross the River Styx? "Zhuowen slightly frowned.

"After obtaining the Underworld Token, you still need a ferryman. Just the Underworld Token alone is useless!

And this ferryman is me. If you want to invite me, you either have to pay half of your blood essence or survive a hundred rounds with me!

Hehe, you little brat are very strong. You've directly killed me. This is the hundredth life I've lost these days!

I really don't know how you humans cultivate. You're so young, but each of you has such powerful strength. I really envy you! "The Undying Underworld King shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Zhuowen suddenly understood. No wonder the Undying Underworld King asked for half of his blood essence the first time he met him. It turned out that it was the reward for crossing the River Styx. Of course, if he wasn't willing to pay, he could only fight!

However, what made Zhuowen quite surprised was that the Undying Underworld King had lost a hundred lives in this period of time. Obviously, there were at least a hundred people in the team in front of him whose strength was not weaker than him.

"It's really a gathering of geniuses!

Sure enough, the selected teams aren't that simple! "

Zhuowen knew that those who could kill the Undying Underworld King were at least at the second wheel of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. This also meant that there were at least a hundred people in the team in front of them who were at least at the second wheel of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. There were probably more than that at the first wheel of the Ultimate Emperor Realm.

"Sigh!

Guarding the gate is not an easy job. If I'm not careful, my life will be in danger. To think that I, the dignified Undying Underworld King, have actually fallen to such a state. This is really … sigh! "

The black skeleton in front of them shook his head. The stiff skeleton face actually had a very difficult expression of melancholy. This made Zhuowen and the other two speechless. They secretly slandered him in their hearts. Is it really suitable for a skeleton to pretend to be melancholy?

After sighing and lamenting, the Undying Underworld King turned to Zhuowen and the other two and said, "Come with me!

I'll bring you across the Underworld River. "

Saying that, the Undying Underworld King came to the southern edge of the small island. With a light wave of his right hand, a dilapidated small boat suddenly appeared on the shore. Shortly after, the Undying Underworld King jumped into the small boat. An ear-piercing creaking sound rang out and the small boat actually started to sway unstably.

"The three of you come in!

This boat is very sturdy. Don't worry. "Within the small boat, the Undying Underworld King waved his hand, indicating for Zhuowen and the other two to enter the boat.

Looking at the small boat that was on the verge of collapsing, the corners of Zhuowen and the other two's eyes twitched. They were extremely doubtful if the boat of the Undying Underworld King could really sail out.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, the three of them finally decided to board the pirate boat of the Undying Underworld King. After all, they could only trust the Undying Underworld King now. Moreover, even if the Undying Underworld King wanted to do something, Zhuowen was not afraid. With Zhuowen's current strength, he could easily kill the Undying Underworld King in an instant.

"The Underworld River is filled with endless resentment. If you stay in the Underworld River for too long, some people with weak minds will easily be bewitched by the resentful spirits in the Underworld River. They will then jump into the Underworld River to die.

Therefore, the three of you should hold onto the Underworld Token properly. The Underworld Token can protect your mind from being affected by the resentment. "The Undying Underworld King said solemnly.

Hearing this, the three of them understood the seriousness of this matter. After entering the boat, they could also feel the surging resentment in the Underworld River sweeping towards them. Fortunately, the broken boat of the Undying Underworld King had a layer of restriction that blocked the resentment outside.

Swoosh!

Under the activation of Zhuowen's Yuan Energy, the Underworld Token emitted a layer of strange black barrier that enveloped the three of them!

"This Underworld Token is really magical. Being in this black barrier, my heart suddenly feels peaceful!" Gu Xin said in surprise.

Zhuowen and Hu Wuying nodded their heads. The barrier released by the Underworld Token had the effect of calming one's mind. At this moment, they felt much more comfortable and stable in their hearts.

"Alright!

Everyone hold on tight. Let's set sail! "
