At this time, the sharp cry from above resounded again. The four of them urged their strength to roll like a dragon, forming a swirling airflow that rapidly strangled the incoming dark creatures.
"We're almost at the bottom!" Tuoba Ye's excited voice came.
At this time, the surrounding dark creatures suddenly retreated rapidly. The fog that was everywhere was getting thinner and thinner. There seemed to be a building in the mountain stream.
Not long after, a loud bang was heard. A protruding rock at the bottom of the mountain stream was smashed into pieces by Tuoba Ye.
The four of them jumped down one by one. When they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned.
At the bottom of the mountain stream was a rather large house. The gate of the house was mottled, and the red paint had all fallen off. The dilapidated walls were also covered with weeds and moss. It looked very dilapidated. There were faint voices coming from inside the house. It seemed like someone was living inside!
Su Chengbo thought of something and his face changed greatly. He exclaimed, "The Abyss Race!"
Luo Kai was also surprised. The oxygen in this deep underground mountain stream was thin, and the dark energy was so dense that it could corrode flesh. Humans were actually able to live here!
His spirit sense was extremely sensitive. He had already sensed the dense dark energy swirling around the house. This house was the center of the dark energy.
Tuoba Ye and Xi Jinghui also had a dignified expression. Many years ago, a chaotic war broke out between the humans and the other three races. Since then, the Abyss Race and the Titan Race had cut off all contact with the humans. Only the Sea Race still maintained contact with them. However, their relationship wasn't harmonious.
The Abyss Race lived underground for a long time. They worshipped the dark energy that could corrode everything. Generation after generation, they almost broke away from their human form. They became neither human nor ghost. Even their human nature had become very strange. They were very difficult to deal with.
Just as the four of them were looking around, a lantern emitting a faint light flashed in the dilapidated courtyard. A cold and hoarse voice that was difficult to distinguish the gender of the person resounded, "Welcome, distinguished guests."
At the same time, the dilapidated gate opened. The courtyard suddenly became crowded with people. It seemed like there were countless people secretly spying on them. However, they couldn't see the specific figures at all.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. It was a woman. One could barely see that her skin was green and her eyes were deep red. She looked very terrifying. More importantly, this woman was actually floating. Her body was almost transparent, as if she had no flesh and blood!
The four of them couldn't help but take a step back. Fear came from the unknown. Currently, humans knew very little about the abyssal race. They seemed to have abandoned their carbon-based life form and turned into pure dark energy.
Su Chengbo pondered for a moment before stepping forward and bowing. "Are there any Abyss Race compatriots living here?"
The woman nodded and said in a cold voice, "Welcome, four human guests. Please come in for a chat."
The four of them didn't move. This house was obviously the center of the dark energy, so it must be connected to the underground Yin veins. Moreover, the Abyss Race was currently an enemy to the humans.
The woman didn't say anything else and stood quietly at the door.
After a while, the figure of a little girl appeared at the top of the wall. She looked at them curiously with a pair of deep red eyes. Her body had clearly become more substantial. Aside from her eyes, which were still red, she was no different from a human.
The woman looked back at her and seemed to be very angry. "Who said you could come out? Go back in!"
The little girl was given a fright and hurriedly climbed down the wall before disappearing.
Su Chengbo hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss, may I ask if this house is connected to the underground Yin veins?"
The woman replied, "Yes, we've been living here for over a hundred years."
Su Chengbo and Xi Jinghui glanced at each other. They had come here for the complete body of the Great Beast and to seal off the underground Yin veins. However, there were Abyss Race beings living above the Yin veins. This was going to be difficult.
At this moment, a cold and hoarse voice sounded from the courtyard again. "Zhu 'er, why aren't the guests coming in?"
The woman replied, "Grandma, the guests seem to be worried about something."
The hoarse voice said indifferently, "Then so be it. Close the door."
"Wait."
Su Chengbo took a few steps forward and said, "We're here for the complete body of a Great Beast. A few days ago, when the astral energy swept across Earth, this Great Beast showed signs of resurrection. The complete body of a Great Beast is the common enemy of all humans. We can't let it resurrect."
The woman seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Oh … So you're here for the Inviting Moon Willow. It has indeed regained some consciousness recently. This Great Beast's body is extremely tough. We can't do anything to it. Please come in and talk."
Xi Jinghui condensed his voice into a thin line and transmitted it to the three people's ears. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. As long as we're careful, these things won't be able to do anything to us."
Tuoba Ye also said, "Yeah, if they annoy us, we'll just tear this house down!"
Su Chengbo pondered for a moment before agreeing. "Alright then. Be careful when you go in. I feel that there's something strange about this house."
Luo Kai also felt that there was something wrong with this house, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. He followed behind the three people. When he passed by the woman, he finally saw her form clearly. It wasn't that she didn't have flesh and blood, but that her flesh and blood had become semi-transparent. Her insides, bones, and even her head were all transparent like a green jelly. Light could pass through her, making her transparent in human vision.
When Su Chengbo passed by her, she seemed to be a little afraid. Her transparent body trembled slightly, and she took a step back reflexively.
In the energy of Heaven and Earth, light and darkness were natural enemies. Su Chengbo was a human made of light. Wherever he went, all the dark energy would be purified and dissipated.
After stepping through the door, their vision blurred, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. It turned into a small garden full of semi-transparent plants. Shadowy semi-transparent figures were playing in the garden.
The woman led the four people through the garden and came to a hall. Sitting in the hall was a transparent figure like a wisp of smoke. Even at a close distance, they couldn't see his face clearly. It was as if he was completely incorporeal.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Not only was his figure blurry, but his voice was also like a man's and a woman's. He called out softly, "Serve tea!"
Beautiful figures floated in one after another. They were all pretty girls with semi-transparent skin. What was surprising was that not only did these girls look similar, but their movements were also exactly the same. It was as if they were calibrated machines. They placed the tea in front of the four people, and then left with a cold fragrance.
The indistinguishable figure on the main seat said, "This is the Dream Spirit Tea, a specialty of my Abyss Clan. It comes from the Nine Nether Yin Vein and has the miraculous effect of nourishing the mind. Everyone, please try it."
