Chapter 259: Staying in the Temple (1)

Translator: 549690339

Deep underground at the original site of the ant nest.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The rapid water flow continued to wash against the mountain rocks. There was actually an underground river under the ant nest.

“Phew! ”

Gu Shaoxuan’s shoulders were tied with chains made of dark iron. He tied the black coffin to his body and climbed up the river bank with some difficulty.

“That cat…l actually managed to control the power of the earth meridians, I miscalculated…”

Gu Shaoxuan muttered to himself as he once again rummaged through the small cabinets on the black coffin.

A moment later, Gu Shaoxuan frowned.

The remaining two life fruit injections were lost in the chaos just now. “Forget it. This small injury doesn’t need the Life Fruit.”

He had long known about the existence of this underground river. At the critical moment, if he hadn’t pierced through the ground and fallen into the underground river, he would have been unable to withstand the violent power of the earth vein.

“It’s a pity that they escaped. “Gu Shaoxuan muttered to himself as he picked up half of the fat queen ant from the riverbank and said,””How’s the tunnel digging going?”

“Sir…My injuries are so serious. Can you find me something to eat so that I can recover a little…” The injured ant queen said weakly.

“There’s no time.” “Have you done what I asked you to do?” Gu Shaoxuan asked coldly. Help me send a message to the worker ants digging the tunnel.” “Sir, I’m really dying..

“I don’t care if you live or die?” Gu Shaoxuan clenched his fingers, and his pitch-black martial arts vital essence turned into a giant ghost claw, causing the ant queen to scream repeatedly,””lf you listen to me, you can still live for a while. If you don’t listen, you have to die now! Do as I say!”

The double threat of pain and death finally made the ant queen fierce again.””l’m going to die anyway. If I die, you won’t be able to recover either! Your plan has been exposed. When those humans find help, you will die too! ”

“Oh? You still dare to shout at me?” “You’re not afraid of death, are you?” Gu Shaoxuan suddenly laughed.”

“Anyway, I won’t live for long. If you want to kill me, kill me! What nonsense!”

“Isn’t it just death?!” The ant queen said fiercely.”

“Hehehe. ”

Gu Shaoxuan laughed. His laughter was unusually cold. “You seem to think that death is a relief?”

His martial will suddenly manifested. The ant queen was already heavily injured and was completely unable to resist the invasion of Gu Shaoxuan’s martial will.

In a trance, the ant queen seemed to have seen the most terrifying scene of her life.

The boiling hot oil was boiling in the huge pot. The ant queen was writhing in the oil pot and screaming. The pain seemed to be transmitted to the ant queen.

Foil, mountain of knives, sea of fire, skin peeling…Scenes that were like purgatory constantly invaded the ant queen’s mind.

“What is this…” The ant queen could not help but ask in a trembling voice.

“Eighteen levels of hell.” Gu Shaoxuan grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth. His tone was cold.”Death is not the end. There is still a world after death. If you don’t listen to me, I will send you to the eighteen levels of hell and make you sink in endless pain for the rest of your life!”

“I, I… The tunnel has almost been dug out. We can start at any time, sir…”

The ant queen recalled the terrifying scene that made the ants shudder and chose to compromise.

Gu Shaoxuan patted the ant queen’s head and said in satisfaction, “”A wise decision. Listen to me, or I will let you know that death is just the beginning!”

“Yes.”

The ant queen’s body had shrunk by more than half. Under Gu Shaoxuan’s threat, she had no choice but to tear down Peter to pay Paul.

At the cost of star level degeneration, the remaining energy in the broken body was consumed to forcibly recover the injury. At least, that was what it looked like on the surface. Since the ant queen could determine the size and appearance of her offspring, she could naturally control herself.

At this moment, Gu Shaoxuan was carrying his black coffin and sitting on the ant queen, allowing the ant queen to bring him through the deep underground passage.

Did the 18 levels of hell exist?

Of course, it didn’t exist. At least, it didn’t seem to exist now.

That was just a martial arts phenomenon condensed from the Hell Rebirth Scripture that he cultivated.

He had comprehended the Hell’s Rebirth Sutra on a stone wall with strange inscriptions outside the border. He had been traveling alone outside the border for so many years. It was all because of the power of the Hell’s Rebirth Sutra that he could survive until now. It was also because of the existence of this martial art that he firmly believed that the Netherworld really existed.

Gu Shaoxuan recalled the young martial artist who had risked his life to protect him in the Beast Tide more than twenty years ago. His eyes suddenly softened.”Brother, soon, you can wake up. I have a lot to say to you. What will you say to me? I’m really looking forward to it…”

The Netherworld did not exist, but that was only for now. Soon, the Netherworld would truly descend into the human world!

With that thought in mind, Gu Shaoxuan’s eyes turned cold.”When the Netherworld descends, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Sacrifice is necessary!”

Based on the timeline, it hadn’t been too long since Xu Dong and the others brought the corpses of the three villagers back to the village and called for reinforcements to look for Ji Ruo and his wife.

When the villagers in the stockade learned that the body had been found, they got out of bed and walked out of their homes to see if there was anything they could help with.

Of course, the main reason was to ‘watch.’ Although it was a little inappropriate to say so, it was true that the villagers looked like they were here to watch the show.

The sound of crying exploded in the night sky. Niu Li and the relatives of the dead villagers looked at the slightly rotting corpses in the coffins and cried their hearts out.

Ji Ruo did not go forward immediately. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her and went to the place where the Earth Temple was located.

The Earth Temple occupied an area of less than one square meter and did not look very big. Moreover, it had been in disrepair for a long time, and the incense was weak. The tributes offered had long rotted, and the tray was empty.

Ji Ruo looked inside and found that the clay statue of the local god had turned into a white cat with a cat head and a human body.

“Meow!” Luo Qian asked curiously, “Oh, sister has her own little house now?” I’m so envious.”

Ji Ruo gave her a tight slap.”You want to be worshipped too?”

“Meow -(1s there anything good to eat?)

The young man ignored Luo Qian and placed the three paper tablets in front of the local god.

After thinking for a while, he took out three Life Fruits and placed them on the tray that was used to hold the tributes. Then, he brought Luo Qian and respectfully offered a few incense sticks.

“Master.”

Divine light flashed, and the shadow of the white cat appeared in the small temple. She still looked like she was not in a good state of mind. She was wearing a simple coarse linen robe, which made her look a little out of place.

Not only that, the white cat was not very big at the moment, not much bigger than Ji Xiaoxiao.

This small Earth Temple really looked like the white cat’s home.
