Lu Sheng could feel the pain, panic, despair, and confusion in that eye.
"Hello." Lu Sheng tried to communicate with the other party.
"It hurts …" A voice in an unknown language, but he could strangely understand it, answered through the gap.
"What did you say?" Lu Sheng frowned. "Can you open the door?"
"It hurts …"
It was hard to tell whether the voice was male or female, but it still answered in a hoarse voice.
"Is there any way to open the door so that I can get you out?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice. He tried to communicate with the other party.
"It hurts …"
Lu Sheng stretched out his hand, grabbed the door, and started to push. But the door was unexpectedly heavy. Even with his strength, he couldn't push it open.
The River of Poisoned Fog continued to flow out from under his feet. This was the source of the River of Poisoned Fog, but he was blocked by a strange door.
"I came here by accident, hoping to find the source of this water. Can you tell me where this water comes from? I can't see from this angle. "Lu Sheng tried to ask the other party directly." I can use something from the outside as payment. "
"… It hurts …" This person seemed to only know one thing, and that was pain.
Tap tap tap.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind Lu Sheng.
He turned around abruptly, but he only had time to see a person's shadow flash by the entrance of the tunnel.
"Wait!" Lu Sheng couldn't miss the chance to find a person after so much difficulty. He chased after it, activating the Light Void Earth Stomp Technique. In an instant, he had crossed dozens of meters and reached the corner where the shadow had disappeared.
But when he reached the corner of the tunnel, he could still only see a shadow.
The person was petite, and seemed to be a little girl. She had run away from the corner, leaving only a shadow.
"Wait!" Lu Sheng chased after it again.
This time, he didn't miss it. In the dark tunnel filled with gray fog, Lu Sheng heard a soft cry.
Sob sob sob sob …
He looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw a dirty little girl in a tattered dress squatting in a corner of the tunnel. She had her back to him and was crying with her head lowered.
"Can you tell me how to enter that gate? Also, what is this place? "Lu Sheng didn't get too close. Everything here was a bit strange. He was not one to take risks.
The little girl did not respond. She continued to squat in the corner and cry.
Lu Sheng frowned and released a Yin Demon with a wave of his hand. It was the Ox of Pain. Large masses of demonic energy condensed into the form of a four-horned bison.
Chi!
The Ox of Pain spat out two heavy breaths. Its red eyes first looked at Lu Sheng, then it shuddered and quickly shifted its gaze to the little girl in the corner.
Moo!
The Bull of Pain charged at the other party, its heavy body stirring up the sound of hooves.
Boom!!
Everything became quiet in an instant. The bull seemed to be illusory as it directly rushed into the stone wall and disappeared. The little girl was still squatting in the corner and crying. She didn't even change her posture.
"This …" Lu Sheng hesitated. He was hesitating whether he should continue testing the other party. The Ox of Pain's strength was also increasing rapidly because of his Prime Devil Qi. It was much stronger than the original version of the Phantom Listening Devil Physique.
But why did it mysteriously disappear just now?
"Since you've appeared before me, you must have a purpose, right?" His body was slightly tense, ready to transform into his true form at any time. Then, he slowly walked towards the little girl.
"But how can I know what you're trying to do when you keep crying like this?" He tried his best to be gentle as he approached the other party.
"It hurts …" The little girl suddenly said.
"What?" Lu Sheng didn't hear it clearly. He took a few more steps closer.
"I said … it hurts …" The little girl slowly turned her head. Her voice quickly changed from a young child's voice to an old, gloomy, and terrifying voice.
And Lu Sheng finally saw her face.
It was a face that kept melting like a white candle.
The little girl's chin was dripping with white mucus. Her facial features were melting all the time. But what was strange was that after one face melted, there was actually a second face where only flesh and bones should have been.
Beneath one face was another face, and so on and so forth, forever melting and dripping mucus.
"It hurts … it hurts …" The little girl cried in pain. But her voice was as old and weak as an old person's.
"Pchht!!"
In that instant, just as Lu Sheng was slightly stunned, the little girl pounced at his head.
Lu Sheng didn't even think. He raised his hand and grabbed.
He moved as fast as lightning. Before the other party could touch him, he had already grabbed her neck and spat out Devil Qi.
"Bam!!" The little girl exploded, turning into a pool of black mucus.
Everything was quiet again.
Lu Sheng raised his hand and looked at the place where the other party had touched. There was a little black mark there at some point.
And in that exchange just now, he felt that he hadn't used any strength at all. The other party had hit his palm of her own accord. It was as if she was committing suicide.
"It's as if she's asking for death …"
Lu Sheng suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. He walked to the black mucus on the ground and squatted down to examine it.
The mucus was very thick, like black oil that had been boiled for a long time. It gave off a thick, strange smell, like the smell of unprocessed flesh mixed with plant juice.
"This is …?" Suddenly, Lu Sheng's expression changed.
This black oil actually caused the Prime Devil Qi in his body to boil slightly. He reached out and dabbed some on his finger. Then, he tried to temper it with Yin Fire.
Very quickly, a large amount of extremely rich Prime Devil Qi flowed into his body. And the Yin Fire was no longer pure purple. It was purplish black.
But the Prime Devil Qi that was converted this time …
For some reason, Lu Sheng had a strange feeling. Although he could clearly feel that the energy waves were very strong and there was nothing unusual about it, he just felt that something was off.
It wasn't that it was harmful to him, but he felt that this energy was different from the River of Poisoned Fog.
"Although this place is a little strange, it's the source of the River of Poisoned Fog." Lu Sheng returned to the door and reached out to touch the tree root on it.
"Hiss …"
To his surprise, just a light touch caused an extremely thick wave of Mental Energy to rush into him from the tree root.
"Crack … crack …"
The tree root on the door began to wriggle. More Mental Energy surged towards Lu Sheng, as if it had found an outlet.
"Although this place is a little strange, as long as I have Mental Energy, everything will be fine!" Lu Sheng grinned, revealing his sharp, fine teeth.
The more Mental Energy he had, the longer the history of this place was, and the more emotions the living beings had entrusted to it.
One hundred units, two hundred units, three hundred units … This trip was a huge harvest.
But the more Lu Sheng absorbed the Mental Energy, the more he feared the thing behind the door.
Because it meant that the thing behind the door had an extremely long history, and carried an extremely heavy burden …
After absorbing more than four hundred units, the Mental Energy on the door was finally exhausted.
After absorbing the Mental Energy, Lu Sheng was about to pull his hand back, but he immediately felt that something was wrong. The gate was still producing new Mental Energy. Although it was weak and slow, it might not even produce half a unit in a day. But this was the first time he had seen something that could produce new Mental Energy on its own.
"This door, what is it …" He had absorbed many things, including many Mental Energy items, but he had never seen anything like this.
"Let's go back first …" Feeling that something was wrong, Lu Sheng decided to return to the Prime Devil Sect first. This place gave him the same feeling as when he faced the mirror of the Three Sacred Gates.
It wasn't a feeling of strength or weakness, but a feeling of pure emotion. It was as if he was facing a pure, profound existence without any impurities.
In any case, he had already obtained enough Mental Energy from this place. It was enough to upgrade the Three Yin Technique for now.
After making his decision, Lu Sheng did not linger. He quickly went back the way he came. The moment he returned to the entrance of the passageway, he suddenly felt as if something had been peeled off his body. His entire body felt much lighter.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could not find out what it was that had left his body.
Without hesitation, he quickly went back the way he came.
…
Golden Square.
Inside the mysterious tunnel.
"Wuwuwuwu …"
A little girl in a tattered dress squatted in a corner, still sobbing.
There seemed to be something swimming in the gray mist.
…
North.
In the depths of a desolate, dark green forest.
"Hiss …"
A huge green lizard as long as a man slowly crawled down from the branches of a huge tree.
The lizard's head was facing downwards. Its bulging eyeballs moved around, and it kept spitting out grayish-red tongues. The rough green skin on its body slowly changed color along with the gray tree bark.
"Someone has come into contact with the Source of Pain again," the lizard said slowly with a hoarse and thin voice. "Back then, we purposely released one of the Holy Gates to create an opportunity to divert the attention of the devils and attack the Great Song. But who would've thought that someone would come into contact with the Source of Pain again! "
A buck wearing a pitch-black mask slowly walked under the lizard, raised its head, and said in a low voice, "This was your original decision. Last time, you were the ones who chose to release the Gate of Contamination and the Gate of Pain. Could it be that you didn't expect this result?"
"The Gate of Contamination brought the devils. No one knows what's behind the Gate of Pain. In any case, the war is between the humans and devils. It has nothing to do with us. What's there to be afraid of? It's fine as long as we can hold on this time, "the lizard said indifferently.
"The Ice Fox King doesn't think so." The stag swayed the huge antlers on its head that were five to six meters long. "Two of the Three Holy Gates have been opened. There's only one left. We won't be able to suppress it for long. We've almost finished gathering our reserves. It's time to choose a place to digest them."
"I'll choose a place as soon as possible," the lizard said drily.
