Chapter 637 - 637 Eighteen Hell Punishments
637 Eighteen Hell Punishments
The group of five continued to search for Wu Lu.
After spending some time, everyone arrived at the second underground floor.
This was where the punishment of cutting off one’s fingers was held. It was extremely cruel. The ground of the execution room was littered with small black stones. Those were fingers that had been cut off. After the passage of time, it had turned into a black stone.
Lu Benwei had rescued three people from this hell. Not only did the three of them not thank him, but they also wanted to kill Lu Benwei.
Chu Yan was furious. She used her skill to kill the three of them and sealed their souls here forever.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the third level.
The walls around the execution room were covered with iron thorns. Bloody human skin hung on the iron thorns. As the cold wind swayed, it carried the pungent smell of blood.
“Third Brother!”
Wu Biao and Wu Hai met Wu Lu in an iron cage. The skin on his back had already been ripped off, and he had fainted.
Lu Benwei frowned and used Rain to heal Wu Lu’s wounds.
The three Wu brothers were extremely respectful toward Lu Benwei and kowtowed in gratitude.
Lu Benwei did not say much and told them to return to the ground first to protect the Zhang family.
“Brother Lu, do you still want to continue exploring?”
The three Wu brothers and Zhang Chuchen were shocked.
“Yes,” Lu Benwei said.
On the 19th level, two terrifying existences were suppressed.
Other than the Zhu family’s ancestor, there was also the corpse of a king who could fight against a king of limits. Lu Benwei had to ensure that he was “safe” and would not cause trouble.
After watching Zhang Chuchen and the Wu brothers leave, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan continued to explore.
There was a terrifying punishment on every floor. It sucked the flesh, blood, fear, and other evil thoughts of the person being executed to provide endless energy for the evil spirit.
This was a helpless move. Using evil to suppress evil, it could be seen how terrifying the two underground existences were!
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan went down three levels and arrived at the seventh level.
Lu Benwei saw many white bones here. There were cuts all over the bones, and the people’s death was tragic.
Chu Yan saved a person on the mountain of knives, and he told Lu Benwei the piece of news he got.
“The Liang family has gone down!”
Lu Benwei was shocked.
One had to know that they had gone through untold hardships and slaughtered many ghosts to come here.
“They held a lamp in their hands. When those little ghosts saw them, they all knelt and bowed!”
Lu Benwei was shocked. Could it be that the Liang family came prepared and wanted to go underground?
He did not dare to delay any longer and ordered the person to go underground to save the other trapped people.
As for Lu Benwei, he kept going down. Countless little ghosts pounced on him and stopped him from moving forward.
“Judgment!”
Lu Benwei let out a soft shout and transformed into several divine weapons. All of them emitted a golden edge as they surrounded Lu Benwei and Chu Yan and slashed. Countless heads of the little ghosts fell to the ground and no longer caused any trouble.
Soon, Lu Benwei reached the 19th level.
After descending the spiral staircase, they arrived at a long and narrow cave. A cold wind blew, messing up Lu Benwei and Chu Yan’s hair.
Droplets of water condensed at the ceiling of the cave, and when they fell on a person’s body, their entire soul would tremble.
“What’s buried underneath?” Chu Yan finally realized that something was wrong and questioned Lu Benwei.
“The ancestors of the Zhu family of the eight great families!” Lu Benwei said bluntly, “And an ancient corpse that can fight him head-on!”
Chu Yan’s mouth was wide open, and her black gem-like eyes were filled with disbelief.
“Everything here is too mysterious. Even now, my brain is a mess. That’s why I didn’t tell you.”
These incidents could only be found in ancient books, but now it was reflected in reality. Who was the corpse that was originally suppressed? Was he from the ancient Dragon Kingdom?
If he was, how could he fight against the ultimate king? Why was the fallen ancestor of the Zhu family sealed here along with his corpse? There were too many mysteries that could not be explained.
Right now, the most important thing was to figure out the Liang family’s goal and not let them enter the sealed land.
The cave was long and narrow, barely enough for two people to walk side by side. historical
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan moved forward quickly and finally saw a ball of light. The two of them looked at each other and sped up toward the light.
Suddenly, a world appeared in front of Lu Benwei and Chu Yan. It was hard to imagine that such a world existed in that hellish world.
The trees were green, and birds and beasts were flying in the forest. The fog was thick and dense. It was the appearance of extremely dense spiritual energy.
Countless strange medicinal plants grew in the forest or on the bluestone, emitting a medicinal fragrance.
The muddy dirt road was filled with footprints, which was proof that the Liang family had come here not long ago.
The surrounding strange plants were not destroyed. Lu Benwei felt that something was wrong.
“The Liang family’s goal is indeed different!”
Lu Benwei concluded and quickened his pace of exploration with Chu Yan.
“Eye of Insight!”
Lu Benwei’s eyes were burning like divine fire.
He wanted to absorb the information within a hundred miles into his mind, but he did not expect a malicious thought to explode in Lu Benwei’s ear. “Let go of this venerable self as it will grant you glory and wealth!”
“Dream on!”
“Hehe, someone’s here. There’s no need for you!” The evil spirit said sinisterly, “The cause that I tried my best to plant a hundred years ago has now come to fruition!”
“Oh no!” Lu Benwei pulled his thoughts back to reality, and his expression was not good. “The Liang family is targeting us!”
“Let’s go!” Chu Yan said.
The two of them used Lightning Speed to run through the forest.
After some time, the two of them arrived at an open space.
A huge divine willow wood rose from the ground. Its trunk was so thick that even ten people holding hands would not be able to hold it. The willow branch was as thick as a person’s arm, naturally drooping and gently swaying. The branches and leaves were tender and green, emitting a lustrous energy that was extremely gentle.
A long-haired man wearing dark red scales was nailed to the divine willow wood by a Flying Snake Spear. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his facial features were strong. His thin face looked as if it had been cut by a knife.
Everyone from the Liang family stood at his feet with devout gazes as if they were worshipping a god!
“Oh my god, we finally found you! The bamboo scroll is real!” the head of the Liang family held a bamboo scroll in his hand and shouted in a trembling voice.
Lu Benwei took a closer look and immediately understood everything.
“I finally understand. Previously, it wasn’t a coincidence that each family obtained the divine treasures of this secret realm. It was all a scheme of this ancient corpse!”
Chu Yan was smart. Her black gem-like eyes moved, and she immediately knew everything.
Back then, this ancient corpse used its last bit of strength to send some divine treasures flying out of the secret realm. It was to attract the attention of the world. The bamboo scroll with the method to save the ancient corpse was obtained by the Liang family.
