Training Through The Game

In the deserted Kugu Ridge, sporadic puffs of smoke drifted out.

The battle is over, but I don't know how long it will take for the remaining sparks and heat to dissipate completely.

On the ground below the big pit, Lu Yu stood in front of the space crack connecting the Netherworld.

He glanced around, dropped a small pan of all-encompassing formations to hide this place, and then activated the power of Nirvana in his right hand to cover the surface of his body.

The dim gray light covered Lu Yu's body surface, turning him into a vague gray figure, which looked like a shadow in a dim light.

The "cloak" formed by the power of nirvana did not touch Lu Yu's skin, but he still felt a numbness.

That was his body resisting the erosion of the power of extinction.

Except for Lu Yu's right hand, other parts of his body will inevitably be corroded when exposed to the power of nirvana, and the cells will die and lose their vitality.

However, the pure jade-skinned glazed body allowed Lu Yu to minimize the erosion of non-direct contact with the force of nirvana.

The tingling feeling is precisely the skin cells on his body's surface undergoing a rapid process—damage, repair, death, and division, which consumes the aura in his body every moment.

Compared with the consumption of spiritual power, Lu Yu was more afraid of encountering irresistible accidents after entering the Netherworld.

After he was ready, he cautiously stretched his hand into the space crack, feeling that his fingers had passed through a slightly icy water curtain, and then he felt nothing else.

Nor did a hand suddenly appear and drag him in.

After finding that there was no problem, Lu Yu stepped into the space crack leading to the nether world.

In the space crack, Lu Yu didn't feel it. After entering the Netherworld, he felt like he was drowning in an instant, unable to breathe normally, and there was cold water pressure squeezing his body in all directions.

At that moment, he felt that his soul was about to go out of his body.

Only when the soul goes out of the body can it get rid of the shackles of the body and breathe the "air" of the nether world.

Fortunately, before Lu Yu came in, he vigilantly covered his body with the power of death. Although he felt "water pressure", the "water" did not enter his body, so it did not have much impact on him.

Out of the space crack, Lu Yu adjusted his mentality to get used to the suffocation like drowning.

The main reason for this feeling is that there is no aura in the nether world, and it is full of "dead energy" everywhere.

Although Lu Yu no longer needs to rely on the oxygen in the air to provide his body with metabolic gas, but instead, he needs to consume aura to maintain his own energy needs.

Therefore, as long as you are in a place where there is aura, it is enough to breathe aura.

Even in the void, there is thin aura everywhere, unlike the Netherworld, which has no aura at all.

In fact, dead energy is also a kind of Reiki, which is just the negative energy of Reiki.

If it is said that aura can make inanimate objects produce spiritual intelligence, then death aura is to deprive all living beings of their vitality.

Since there are creatures that rely on aura to survive, there are naturally undead that rely on dead energy to survive.

Necromancers exist in a world full of dead energy, similar to a world like the Netherworld.

After feeling better, Lu Yu raised his head and observed the world.

The surrounding environment catches the eye, the netherworld as a whole presents a black and white color, and there are few other colors. Even the sunlight is gray and white, which looks a bit permeable.

There was gray mist floating everywhere in the air, and Lu Yu couldn't see too far away.

This seems to be a black and white misty world.

Lu Yu turned his head and looked behind him. The space crack was floating steadily in mid-air, surrounded by black dead trees that looked dying, and the space crack was inconspicuous in the forest.

If you didn't look closely, you might think it was a tree.

Lu Yu left a spiritual mark on the tree next to the crack in the space. He stood there for a while, and found that the spiritual power seemed not to be affected by the dead energy. Lu Yu felt relieved, turned and walked in one direction.

After walking for a long time, Lu Yu didn't see anything moving in the woods, everything here was lifeless.

Suddenly, in the mist ahead, the edge of the forest appeared, and there were no trees any further, and it turned into a bare black land.

Lu Yu walked out of the woods and entered the black soil plain.

After walking a certain distance, he finally saw something moving. He saw a man with a bamboo pole seven or eight meters high walking in the mist.

He carefully concealed his own life breath, and approached the bamboo pole man.

The double-ring snake ring on his finger suppressed Lu Yu's aura to the greatest extent, suppressing his aura that was stronger than the ordinary fourth-level alchemy realm, and suppressed it to the point that it was no different from ordinary people.

Coupled with the power of death that covers the whole body, he is now the same as a dead person, a "dead person" that can move.

However, before Lu Yu was worried that he would be discovered by the bamboo pole man, he found out that the bamboo pole man had disappeared into the mist.

He ran quickly to the place where the bamboo pole man passed by, resisting its footprints, but the footprints stopped suddenly as he walked.

Lu Yu walked forward without entering any other space, and the bamboo pole man just disappeared inexplicably.

Unable to figure out what was going on, Lu Yu had no choice but to put the matter behind him and choose a direction to move on.

After Lu Yu left, the Bamboo Man appeared from the last pair of footprints. It had been standing there without moving, so Lu Yu couldn't see it. When he moved, it appeared in the eyes of the "human".

The bamboo pole man continued to move forward, going in a different direction from Lu Yu.

After walking in the mist for a long time, Lu Yu almost had the idea that there were no residents in the Netherworld.

After walking so far, thousands of kilometers at least, I only saw a bamboo pole man, and the bamboo pole man disappeared inexplicably.

Gulu~ There was a swallowing sound in the mist.

Suddenly hearing the sound of swallowing, in this world, the first reaction in the mind of a normal person is that there is a monster eating, or there is a monster staring at you in the mist, wanting to eat yourself, secreting a lot of saliva, swallowing saliva, feeling fear, Fear.

But Lu Yu felt "hope", and finally came across one that could move.

He quickly rushed in the direction of the sound, but of course he didn't approach rashly. When he felt that he was almost far away from his destination, he slowed down and approached cautiously.

Up to now, he still doesn't know the characteristics of the monsters in the Netherworld, and he doesn't know how to distinguish the strength of the monsters in the Netherworld, so he can't be too careful.

Quietly approaching the source of the sound, the gurgling sound became louder and louder.

When he got here, Lu Yu also discovered that the voice was not heard at all, it sounded in his mind.

In other words, in the nether world, only the soul can hear the sound, and the body cannot hear the sound.

Because the aborigines of the nether world do not have a body, what they emit is the sound of the soul.

Getting closer and closer, through the fog, Lu Yu finally saw the source of the sound. It was a kind of gray-white snail, and it was the sound it made when it ate soil.

As it eats more dirt, the snail shell behind it gets darker.

"Is it dangerous?" Lu Yu thought to himself, he didn't feel any danger from the snail.

However, this does not mean that the snail is not dangerous, and he did not feel the danger from the bamboo pole man before.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Yu was still ready to venture forward, otherwise he didn't know when he would find Styx.

Only by finding the Styx, can he obtain the water of the Taiyin, refine the magic weapon, and communicate with the power of the Taiyin star.

Lu Yu walked towards the snail, his shoulder muscles arched slightly, indicating that all the muscles in his body were ready to go.

As long as there is something wrong, he will move away from the dirt-eating snail as fast as possible.

However, the dirt-eating snail didn't respond to his arrival at all, and continued to eat dirt without raising its head.

Lu Yu tried to shout a few times, but the snail didn't respond. Lu Yu got bolder, approached the snail, and kicked its shell twice, with great force.

The snail's shell shook, but the snail still didn't respond.

Lu Yu stared at the snail shell. He felt a little different about that kick just now.

He didn't seem to have really kicked the snail shell, or rather, his foot didn't touch the snail shell, but passed through the snail shell, until his soul touched the snail shell, and there was no touch on the snail shell.

Up to now, Lu Yu has understood that all the dead spirits in the Netherworld exist in the form of soul bodies.

Perhaps due to the different world rules in the Nether Realm, here, as long as there is a soul, you can see the soul body, unlike the Shenwu Realm, where souls are almost invisible.

Even with Lu Yu's current soul power, he couldn't see other people's souls clearly, only a vague shape.

Like this snail, it is basically impossible to see every detail.

Lu Yu stretched out his right hand and touched the snail shell. He could feel the rough gravel on the snail shell. Only by tapping with his fingers could he feel a strong rebound. The shell is very hard.

The soul level is very hard. If it is brought back to the Shenwu world and refined into a spirit treasure, it may be able to resist most soul attacks as long as it is put on the body.

Zizizi~Suddenly, Lu Yu felt that his hand was empty, and he staggered and almost fell. He turned his head and looked, and the snail shell he touched with his right hand had disappeared, revealing the translucent snail body inside.

At this moment, the snail also seemed to feel a huge crisis, and then suddenly tightened its shell, and then its shell rolled up, and quickly rolled away in one direction.

Lu Yu was stunned, and quickly realized that he quickly caught up with the rolling snail shell.

Although the snail shell circled around in the mist, Lu Yu felt that it had a direction and a purpose.

And Lu Yu also discovered a dumbfounding thing, that is, when the snail rolled and escaped, it didn't forget to eat dirt.

Every time the opening of the snail shell touches the ground, Lu Yu can see the black soil on the ground being eaten, leaving a small hole.

"The Nether World is too barren..." Lu Yu sighed in his heart. He had never seen anything that moved while chasing the snail, or in other words, he couldn't see it.

I don't know how far he ran, but Lu Yu saw a black sky appearing in the mist, and after getting closer, he realized that it was a black wall.

It's just that this wall is too high. When Lu Yu looked at it from a distance, it seemed to be the sky that connected the world.

The snail didn't slow down, and its diameter exceeded the black wall of unknown height.

Slap~ A snail is like a bird crashing into a high-speed flying plane. With a bang, it fell apart, and the broken snail shell was like mud, sticking to the wall.

Lu Yu hurriedly braked, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of snails.

Before hitting the black wall, Lu Yu's speed completely slowed down and stopped in front of the black wall.

Looking at the black wall up close, Lu Yu was stunned. The snail shells stuck to the black wall were wriggling and swimming up.

It seems that the snail did not crash to death, but just merged with the black wall.

After careful observation, Lu Yu found that the black wall was probably made of snail shells.

In other words, this wall was made of black soil.

Boom! There was a loud noise, and Lu Yu turned his head to look, and the figure disappeared in the next moment.

He appeared at the source of the sound, and in front of him, a complete snail shell was crawling towards the top of the black wall.

The transparent snail inside the snail shell has disappeared, leaving only the empty snail shell, which automatically climbs to the top of the black wall.

It may also be that the snail entered the black wall, and Lu Yu couldn't see it, so he could only see a shell climbing up.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yu planned to climb up the high wall made of snail shells.

Before climbing, Lu Yu reached out to try to make a hole in the high wall. If he couldn't make a hole, he couldn't climb over the wall of unknown height.

After trying, Lu Yu found that only the right hand full of the power of extinction could cause damage to the black wall, and he could dig out a point of leverage on it.

This is the nether world, there is no aura, and Lu Yu cannot release the aura in his body.

Not to mention, the aura here will be neutralized by a large amount of dead energy, which may cause a big explosion when the positive and negative energies are neutralized, or it may be silently annihilated.

It is a very dangerous thing to just release aura and expose one's identity as a living being.

Therefore, he can only rely on his own physical strength to climb up step by step.

After looking around and making sure there was no danger, Lu Yu squatted down slightly to gather his strength.

Boom~ I jumped up with all my strength, and the speed of ascent broke through the speed of sound in an instant, and it continued to accelerate.

When the upward trend disappeared and his body began to fall, Lu Yu stretched out his right hand, inserted it into the high wall, and with a sudden support, his body continued to rise.

He could no longer see the ground under his feet. Except for the high wall in front of him, there was fog in all directions. He could only use the falling tendency to judge whether his direction was correct.

Constantly climbing up, Lu Yu still couldn't see the end point, and he kept climbing up with his right hand explosively, which was a big load for his right arm.

His ascent slowed down, and finally, he stopped, and he hung on the wall with one hand on the hole he had cut out.

"What kind of ghost wall is this? Why is it so high?" Lu Yu complained. If he were on the earth, he would probably have climbed into outer space, but here, the end of the high wall still remains the same.

After resting for a while, when Lu Yu was about to continue climbing, he suddenly heard a whirring sound from below, as if something was rising rapidly.

A scene appeared in Lu Yu's mind, a snail shell crawling on the wall.

Crack~ Lu Yu slapped his head with his left hand, and a smile appeared on Lu Yu's face, "Why didn't you think of such a simple thing? I'm so busy using brute force, I can't use my brain anymore."

He approached the direction of the sound, and soon saw a complete black snail shell rising.

Lu Yu quickly approached the rising snail shell, saw the timing, swung his right arm and jumped onto the snail shell.

Melt the snail shell out of a pit with the power of nirvana, sit in the pit, and watch the surrounding fog descend rapidly.

I don't know how high I climbed, and the fog became thinner and thinner, until finally, the sky of the Netherworld was clearly visible.

It turns out that the sky in the Nether Realm is the same as that in the Shenwu Realm. There is a moon hanging in the night sky, but this moon looks a little cold, as if it is breathing cold air.

A thick cloud drifted past, covering the moon, and the distant stars appeared in the night sky, brilliant and bright.

After seeing the moon and seeing the stars, the snail elevator has come to an end.

Lu Yu stood up, jumped to the top of the high wall, and looked around. There was no fog to block his vision. He could see a snail shell coming up from the high wall from time to time, and then melted into a part of the high wall, continuing to increase the height of the wall. .

He walked to the other side of the high wall, stood on the edge, looked down, and below was the brightly lit city... city?

Lu Yu was stunned for the third time. He looked back, and on the other side of the high wall was the wild black soil plateau full of mist.

Here, however, it is like looking down on the earth from a high altitude at night, seeing the night scene of the most prosperous city, and the light of the stars illuminates the earth.

"What kind of world is the Nether World?" Lu Yu once again had a huge doubt in his heart.
