The Ghastly Grounds.
Continuing to the east, he would approach the Lonely Spirit Ridge where he had first met Xi Ling. Continuing to the east would be the Nameless Ridge where he had inadvertently found the Dwarf Clan. He had come to this dangerous land many times. Now that he had come here again, Ling Chen's heart was filled with emotions.
In the Ghastly Grounds, there was the entrance to the Underworld that Little Gray had discovered.
After leaving Ling Tian City, Ling Chen had directly come to this place. He had already decided in his heart that unless something huge happened in Ling Tian City, he would not be distracted before finding the next orb … And, if he really did enter the legendary Underworld, whether or not he could come out at any time was a big problem.
But, the premise was that he could really go in.
When he had first met the Qian Gungun, he had said very solemnly that the Underworld was the world of the undead. Humans were simply unable to enter … Qian Gungun himself was an exception.
Not long after, Ling Chen found the location in his memory. After clearing a large number of zombies, the originally pitch-black smooth ground gradually "melted" as he approached, and a pitch-black hole appeared clearly on the ground.
That's right, this was the entrance!
Without hesitation, Ling Chen continued forward and stepped into the entrance. Following a steep stone staircase, he walked down step by step. In the blink of an eye, his whole body had already descended into the ground, and he had completely entered it.
"Ding … You have entered the 'Ghastly Passage'. At the end of the Ghastly Passage is the Underworld Gate that leads to the 'Underworld'. The Underworld is the world of the undead. Any living creature that goes there will quickly be deprived of their life. At the same time, if there is a breath of life on your body, it is impossible to open the Underworld Gate that leads to the Underworld. Please proceed with caution. "
Ling Chen: "…"
After entering the passage, it was already pitch-black in front of him, without the slightest bit of light. Already prepared, Ling Chen took out a small luminous pearl that he had bought at an item store. The white light was enough for him to clearly see the scene within five meters.
This was a long and narrow passageway, with a height of 2 or 3 metres, and a width of less than 2 metres. Ling Chen called out Xiao Hui, and slowly walked forwards. The deeper he went, the murkier the air became, and his chest felt like it was being pressed down by something.
This feeling of suffocation … Could it be …
-300, -300, -300 …
Looking at the red numbers floating above his head, Ling Chen frowned. In the Ghastly Grounds, due to the influence of the Death Aura, his HP had been in a constant state, but it was only about 50 HP per second. After entering this place, the rate of HP loss had suddenly increased by several times!
Qian Gun Gun had once said that the death aura in the Ghastly Grounds came from the Underworld Gate. This was only at the Underworld Gate, and if, but the influence was already so. If Underworld was, the Ghastly Realm Gate would be …
Ling Chen immediately cast aside this bad premonition, and continued onwards. With Cai 'Er's powerful healing abilities, she could easily counteract this loss of HP. However, Cai 'Er was of the Light attribute, while this was an Undead environment, which was a type of Darkness attribute, which countered Cai' Er's. As such, he did not dare to summon Cai 'Er here, or else she would be in even more danger than he was.
-450, -450 … -500, -500 …
"Awoo!"
As he continued onwards, Ling Chen's HP continued to leak out, forcing him to drink the Dew of Dawn from time to time. At this moment, Xiao Hui, who was in front of them, let out a cry and stopped moving forward. Ling Chen's footsteps paused, and then slowed down. He walked to Xiao Hui's side, and with the light from the Luminous Pearl, he saw a tightly shut door in front of him.
[Underworld Gate]: The entrances and exits of the Underworld to the various corners of the Forgotten Continent. Wherever they exist, large amounts of Death aura will leak out, creating a vast land of death and low-level Undead creatures. Only high and mid-level Undead creatures can enter the Underworld Gate. When high and mid-level Undead creatures come close to the Underworld Gate, the Underworld Gate will automatically open. If new Undead creatures enter the Underworld Gate, they will be randomly sent to a safe region in the Underworld.
Only high and mid-level Undead creatures can enter the Underworld Gate … in other words, living creatures are unable to open the Underworld Gate!
Ling Chen took a step forwards, getting closer to the Underworld Gate, then stretched out his hand and pressed it against the cold stone door. Because he was so close to the Underworld Gate, an intense feeling of suffocation washed over Ling Chen, making his entire body feel incredibly uncomfortable. The rate at which his HP was leaking out increased to 1,500 per second. However, no matter how hard he pushed, the Underworld Gate did not budge at all.
Ling Chen quickly retreated a few steps, drank a drop of Dew of Dawn, and took a few deep breaths before the suffocating feeling subsided. He silently looked at the tightly shut Underworld Gate in front of him, not knowing where to go … let alone passing through the Underworld and reaching the Underworld Blood Lake, just this tightly shut Underworld Gate had become a chasm that he didn't know how to cross.
Right now, what Ling Chen wanted the most was for the Qian Gungun to suddenly come out … as a living person, the Qian Gungun was able to freely enter the Underworld. There must be some special method! If he could meet the Qian Gungun, he would buy this method no matter what price he had to pay. However, meeting the Qian Gungun was completely up to luck, and it wasn't something that could be met just because one wanted to.
Qi Yue had been staying at Ling Chen's house in the real world, and had refused to come back. Otherwise, if she was here, perhaps she would know the method to enter the Underworld Gate …
"Ding … your pet 'Leng' Er 'is requesting to leave the Pet Space, do you accept?"
Leng 'Er? Why did she want to come out? That's right! Leng'Er herself had the Undead Attribute. Perhaps it was because he was in this undead environment that she felt comfortable.
Ling Chen didn't refuse, and summoned Leng 'Er.
Leng 'Er appeared, but she didn't turn to look at Ling Chen. Instead, she looked ahead, and stared blankly at the Underworld Gate in front of her. Her eyes were abnormally dark in this dark environment, and they flickered with a faint black light as her eyes moved slightly. Every time Ling Chen looked into her eyes, he felt as if he was looking into a boundless, bottomless night. After a while, this demonic and beautiful semi-spirit girl finally moved. She hugged the doll in her arms tightly, and looked ahead as she spoke in a soft and confused voice, "What a strange … feeling …"
The moment Leng 'Er appeared, the suffocating feeling in Ling Chen's chest and the discomfort he felt all over his body suddenly disappeared, and even his life force completely stopped flowing. It wasn't just him, even Little Gray's life force completely stopped flowing. Just as he was feeling puzzled, a system notification rang in his ears.
"Ding … due to unknown reasons, when your pet Leng 'Er is summoned, the negative effects of the undead environment on you and your other pets will completely disappear. Therefore, in the undead environment, please maintain your pet Leng 'Er's summoned state. "
Summoning Leng 'Er meant that he wouldn't be afraid of the undead environment!? Leng 'Er had such an ability!
In his shock, Ling Chen was about to say something to Leng 'Er when a strange sound suddenly came from ahead …
Rumble …
This sound didn't come from anywhere else, but from the Underworld Gate in front of him! To Ling Chen's shock, the Underworld Gate, which had been tightly shut and unmoving, slowly opened bit by bit … Not long after, it was completely open, revealing a world shrouded in fog and darkness.
"Ding … under the influence of your pet Leng 'Er, the Underworld Gate has opened. When Leng 'Er is summoned, you won't be affected by the undead aura, so you can safely enter the Underworld. However, the Underworld is the world of the undead, and living beings who enter it may encounter great danger. Please proceed with caution. "
It opened! The Underworld Gate that he had been worrying about had actually opened just like that!
Looking at the wide open stone gate, Ling Chen was so excited that he wanted to immediately hug Leng 'Er and kiss her a few times. It turned out that Leng 'Er's undead attribute could be so useful.
However, even when the Underworld Gate opened, Leng 'Er's gaze was still fixed forward. When the pitch-black world behind the gate appeared, the light in her ink-black eyes trembled slightly, and her body seemed to be attracted by something as she slowly floated over.
"Leng 'Er?" Ling Chen took a step forward and called out.
Hearing Ling Chen's voice, Leng 'Er's body stopped, and she gently turned around to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion. "Master … there's a very familiar, very warm feeling … I want … to go inside."
Leng 'Er was a special undead body, perhaps the environment of the Underworld was the most suitable for her, and it had an inexplicable attraction to her … Ling Chen thought, and went forward to grab Leng' Er's small hand. "Then let's go in together. Let's go."
With that, he took a light breath, and stepped into the Underworld Gate with Leng 'Er. The two bodies, one big and one small, were instantly swallowed by the boundless darkness.
After entering the Underworld Gate, Ling Chen felt as if he had been traversing through a completely dark world for a long time, so he simply closed his eyes. When he felt that his body had completely calmed down, he opened his eyes. In front of him was no longer complete darkness, but a dusky light that seemed like the end of dusk.
"Ding … you have entered the special region 'Underworld'. You are the first player to enter the 'Underworld', Reputation + 900."
The ground was black, and the sky was grey. Moreover, it seemed to be very low, and there was an oppressive aura. The entire world was dark and quiet, so quiet that Ling Chen could almost hear the sound of his own heart beating. Beside him, Leng 'Er's lips were parted, as if she was shocked by the world she had entered. Ling Chen looked around, looking at every nook and cranny. In the north, there were a few small hills, in the south, there were jagged rocks, and in the west … there were rows of damaged houses … it seemed to be an extremely dilapidated village.
When entering the Underworld Gate for the first time, one would be randomly teleported to a safe area in the Underworld. Ling Chen had no idea where he was in the Underworld, nor did he know how to get to the Underworld Blood Lake.
At the same time, he discovered a very big problem … although he and Leng 'Er had been teleported here by the Underworld Gate, there weren't any teleportation portals nearby that could send them out. In other words … if they wanted to leave, how could they leave this place?
