"What beautiful flowers!"
Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and rushed into the flower bushes, squatting down to smell the fragrance of the flowers.
Bright red flowers bloomed everywhere along both sides of the road.
These flowers are very strange; they have flowers but no leaves.
The flowers were incredibly vibrant in color, as if they were stained with blood or as if they were fire.
"Xiaobai, Miss Xiaoqian, watch out for these flowers!"
Li Yao felt a chill and quickly offered a reminder.
As he looked at the flowers, he discovered that they seemed to possess a strange, bewitching power that almost captivated his mind.
Fortunately, his soul was very strong, and he immediately struggled out of the magic.
When he saw Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaobai rushing into the flower bushes, he immediately warned them.
Unfortunately, his reminder came a step too late.
Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaobai were squatting there, staring blankly into space.
Just as Li Yao had guessed, Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaobai had both been bewitched by the alluring flowers.
At this moment, scenes from her life flashed through Nie Xiaoqian's mind.
Xiao Bai felt the same way; in her mind, scenes flashed by of her leading her people to Burning Incense Valley to seize the Mysterious Fire Mirror.
Besides Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaobai, Yan Chixia and several other female ghosts also went mad.
It seems that those female ghosts had never seen these flowers before, or had not noticed them.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten infected.
Li Yao quickly activated his magic, extending a finger and tapping the foreheads of Xiao Bai, Nie Xiaoqian, and the others.
A flash of light, and they all immediately came to their senses, their expressions utterly bewildered.
Chapter 426 The Red Spider Lily and the Three-Life Stone
"ah?"
What exactly happened just now?
"Why do I feel like I just went back in the past?"
Xiao Bai frowned slightly and asked with a blank expression.
"These should be the spider lilies of the underworld, the only flowers in the underworld."
Legend has it that the red spider lily grows on both sides of the road to the underworld, and is the only scenery on the road to the underworld.
"Legend has it that the red spider lily has a strange magic that can awaken the memories of the deceased."
After hearing Xiaobai's words and based on his previous intuition, Li Yao immediately came to this guess.
"The red spider lily?"
Xiao Bai frowned and said, "I've never heard of this before."
Hearing Xiaobai's question, Li Yao guessed that there should be no legend about the other shore flower in the world of Jade Dynasty.
However, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, and she said, "So these are the red spider lilies!"
It seems she had heard of the legend of the red spider lily.
"These spider lilies are really powerful; even I fell victim to them!"
Yan Chixia was secretly alarmed.
"Let's go, everyone, we can't look at these spider lilies anymore!"
Li Yao reminded everyone of something.
After saying that, he walked forward.
Just as the group was about to reach the end of the Road to the Underworld, a commotion suddenly came from ahead.
Ahead, carriages and horses galloped, banners fluttered, and soon a fully armed, armored ghost army appeared in the sight of Li Yao and his group.
This army of ghostly soldiers numbered around a hundred, each with a ferocious and menacing appearance, radiating boundless resentment and exuding a thick aura of yin energy. They were filled with a sinister and ominous atmosphere, making them incredibly terrifying.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the underworld?"
The leader of the ghostly soldiers, looking fierce and menacing, demanded an explanation.
They were alerted by an extremely powerful surge of magical energy, which is why they rushed over.
The leader of the ghost soldiers discovered that, apart from the female ghosts, there were three others that exuded the aura of blood and yang energy, but lacked any of the yin energy unique to ghosts, making them completely out of place in this underworld.
Clearly, these three are all people from the mortal realm.
These three people are naturally Li Yao, Yan Chixia, and Xiaobai.
"We heard that the underworld has been occupied by ten demon kings, so we came here specifically to take a look."
Li Yao said calmly.
"Take a look?"
The leader of the ghost soldiers glanced at Li Yao and sneered, "The underworld is not a place you can come and go as you please!"
"Boss, why waste words with him? We haven't had any meat in ages. These guys are all tender and juicy, they must be delicious."
"Yes, yes, especially this woman, she's so fair and delicate, I can hardly resist her."
"Eat them, eat them..."
"..."
Suddenly, a group of ghostly soldiers revealed their ferocious nature, their eyes turning green with savagery, and they charged forward, weapons in hand.
One of the ghostly soldiers, with eyes glowing green and drooling green saliva, wielded a ghostly fork and lunged at Little White Fork.
"How disgusting!"
Xiao Bai frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He stretched out his hand into a claw, and a powerful energy emanating from a fox claw whistled as it rushed forward.
The next moment, there was a snap, and the ghost soldier's neck was broken on the spot, his head rolling to the ground.
"hateful!"
"How dare they run wild on my turf! Attack them and kill them!"
The leader of the ghost soldiers immediately flew into a rage.
At his command, over a hundred ghost soldiers, each wielding a strangely shaped weapon, charged towards Li Yao and his group.
A glint flashed in Li Yao's eyes, and a golden light shot out, striking the leading Yin soldier and blasting him to pieces, leaving only a wisp of Yin energy slowly drifting out.
The dissipation of this ghostly soldier's soul did not deter the other group of ghostly soldiers.
On the contrary, the yin energy emanating from this ghostly soldier acted like a stimulant, causing a group of ferocious ghostly soldiers to have a greedy, crimson light flash in their eyes.
These ghostly soldiers charged relentlessly towards Li Yao and his companions.
Li Yao's eyes flashed with golden light, and beams of golden light quickly annihilated all the ignorant Yin soldiers, causing them to be scattered to the winds.
Divine Soul +11!
Divine Soul +10!
Divine Soul +13!
...
Li Yao took the opportunity to gain a lot of divine soul attributes.
The last remaining leader of the ghost soldiers was so frightened when he saw that Li Yao had eliminated all the ghost soldiers in the blink of an eye that he immediately turned around and ran away.
"Only then did I remember to run, but it was too late!"
A fierce glint flashed in Li Yao's eyes.
The next moment, his right hand formed a claw and went straight for the neck of the ghost soldier leader.
There was a click.
The palm pierced right through his throat.
The leader of the ghost soldiers was filled with terror. His mouth moved twice, but his neck had been snapped, so he couldn't make a sound. His body struggled for a moment, and then with a bang, he disappeared like a bubble bursting.
Yan Chixia, who had just drawn the Xuanyuan Sword and was about to make his move and engage in a fierce battle, discovered that a group of Yin soldiers had all died at the hands of Li Yao.
He was shocked and also complained incessantly, saying, "Why didn't you leave me a single one?!"
He was going to venture into the underworld with Li Yao this time, hoping to make a big splash.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'll definitely save some for you next time!"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
After saying that, the group continued walking forward.
Soon, they arrived at the end of the Road to the Underworld and saw a bridge.
This must be the Bridge of Helplessness.
In front of the Bridge of Helplessness stands a huge, conspicuous stone.
On the stone, the three large characters "Three Lives Stone" were carved in a vigorous and elegant style.
"The Three Lives Stone?"
"What kind of stone is this? Why does it have such a strange name?"
Xiao Bai frowned and asked, puzzled.
"It is said that standing in front of the Three Lives Stone, one can see one's past, present, and future lives. I don't know if it's true or not."
Li Yao explained with a smile.
"Why don't you try it and see!"
