Chapter 72
Corpse-Scented Devil's Tongue
Falling!
Plunging at breakneck speed!
The surrounding air became increasingly humid and cold.
It felt as if countless cold little hands were stroking Jiang Han's cheeks and neck.
Jiang Han did not let her body fall freely.
He adjusted his posture in mid-air and then slammed his legs against the well wall.
Bang!
The combat boots scraped against the moss-covered stone wall, sending up a string of sparks.
Using this reaction force, his descent slowed down slightly, and he also regained his balance.
The overhead lights were turned on.
A powerful beam of light pierced the darkness like a sharp sword.
But the sight before him caused Jiang Han's pupils to shrink slightly.
This is not a well at all.
This is clearly a huge vertical burial pit!
All around the well walls were countless honeycomb-shaped holes.
In each of the holes, a desiccated corpse was curled up!
They remained in a kneeling posture, heads bowed, hands clasped together, as if confessing to something at the bottom of the well.
Under strong light.
Jiang Han could even see that the eye sockets of those dried corpses were still flashing with an eerie green light!
It's like... they're still alive!
They were staring intently at the intruder!
"So this is the Ten Thousand Corpses Suppressing Dragon Bureau...?"
"That's a big spender."
Jiang Han thought to himself, but his hands didn't stop moving.
He controlled the rope like a nimble gecko, moving swiftly along the well wall to avoid the dried corpses that looked like they might pounce at any moment.
Just as he descended about fifty meters.
A strange fragrance suddenly wafted into his nostrils.
Fragrant!
So delicious!
The scent was neither like flowers nor like perfume.
Rather, it's a... mixture of rotten sweetness and tempting meaty aroma.
It's like... barbecue?
Or perhaps... some kind of ultimate deliciousness?
Just one breath was enough to make Jiang Han feel dizzy and see double images before his eyes.
The bottom of the well, which was originally pitch black, seemed to have been transformed into a magnificent golden palace.
Countless beautiful women dressed in light gauze are waving at him, and the table is laden with delicacies.
"Come on..."
"Come quick..."
"This is paradise..."
【Ding!warn!warn! 】
High concentrations of neurotoxins detected!
[Toxin Source Analysis: Corpse-scented Konjac!]
[This is a demonic flower that grows in extremely yin places; its pollen has a strong hallucinogenic effect! Host, please hold your breath immediately!]
"Corpse-scented devil's tongue?"
Jiang Han suddenly bit the tip of her tongue.
The excruciating pain instantly brought him to his senses.
The dazed look in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
"Trying to sabotage me?"
"Open your eyes!"
hum!
Golden Eyes activated instantly!
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
Where are the palaces? Where are the beauties?
On the well wall below, huge purple flowers were growing.
Those flowers looked like distorted human faces, spewing out green poisonous mist!
At the base of those flowers, countless white skeletons were entwined!
Clearly, those were the unfortunate ones who were misled in the past and ended up as fertilizer for the flowers.
"Is this your welcoming ceremony?"
"That's too low-level."
Jiang Han snorted coldly, held his breath, and accelerated again.
Swish!
The black gold ancient sword was drawn.
As he passed by the field of corpse-fragrant devil's tongue, he swiftly brought down his knife.
puff!puff!
He chopped up the largest human-face flowers, splattering green juice everywhere.
The nauseating smell dissipated considerably immediately.
at last.
After descending nearly 100 meters.
A deafening roar filled my ears.
That's the sound of water!
And it was the sound of a mighty river rushing by!
Jiang Han looked down.
The view below suddenly opened up.
The well shaft disappeared, replaced by an enormous underground cavern space.
At the bottom of the cave.
A black river, tens of meters wide, is roaring through the area.
The river water was neither clear nor muddy.
Instead, it presents a chilling, jet-black color!
The river surface was covered with yellowish, turbid foam, and countless white things floated and sank in the waves.
Jiang Han squinted and took a closer look.
Those are bones!
Countless bones!
Human bones, animal bones, and even bones of some enormous, unidentified creatures!
This is the legendary... River of Corpses in the Underworld!
The nine bronze chains were inserted straight into the river of corpses, taut and straight, as if pulling on some enormous creature at the bottom of the river.
Jiang Han controlled the rope, suspending his body at a height of about ten meters above the water surface.
He doesn't plan to go directly into the water.
This water is too dirty, too evil.
Moreover, that big guy hasn't even shown his face yet.
"Hello!"
"Ancestor!"
"I'm coming down!"
"Out to greet customers!"
Jiang Han shouted into the empty cave.
The sound echoed in the cave, sounding particularly mournful.
however.
The response he received was not a dragon's roar.
Instead, it produced a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
sizzle...
That was the sound of a rope tightening!
Jiang Han suddenly looked up.
The rope above his head was trembling violently!
Do not!
It's not trembling!
It was being pulled!
A tremendous force was coming from underwater, gripping the end of the rope hanging in the water, trying to drag him directly into the river of corpses filled with bones!
"Want to play tug-of-war with me?"
Jiang Han felt the terrifying pulling force coming from his waist, and his whole body was pulled sideways.
But he showed no sign of panic.
Instead, he revealed a sinister smile.
"Okay."
"Since you're so eager for me to get down..."
"Then I'll grant your wish!"
Swish!
The black gold ancient sword swung fiercely.
It wasn't aimed at anything underwater.
Instead... he slashed at the lifeline above his own head!
collapse!
A crisp sound.
The rope snapped!
It lost the traction from above, and was further weakened by the terrifying pull from below.
Jiang Han was like a meteorite, head down and feet up, holding the Black Gold Ancient Blade. Using the momentum of his fall, he fiercely stabbed at the huge black shadow under the water!
"Arrest me?!"
"I've been looking for you!"
"Die!!!"
Puff-!
A huge splash of water erupted.
Jiang Han's figure was instantly swallowed up by the black river of corpses.
At that moment, the live stream screen went completely dark.
