It was a black sea, so dark that it was frightening. It was so dark that not even psychic power could penetrate it.
If that were all, Lu Li would not be shocked. What really shocked him was the situation in the sea.
Above the sea, there were currents of Primordial Void, which caused the space above the sea to tear and heal. At the same time, the seawater down below became violent.
If it was ordinary seawater, it would only set off raging waves. However, the seawater here had turned into black dragons that swept upwards. They swam, danced, and rolled in the shattered space.
Therefore, the scene in the distance was shocking. The void was torn apart, the Primordial Void was dancing, and the water dragons formed by the water of the black sea whizzed up and swam in the air.
The sound of the water was endless. Heaven and earth trembled. Surges of destructive energy spread out, suffocating people.
"Why did the seawater condense into a water dragon and fly up?"
Lu Li could not figure it out and asked Commander Huang.
Commander Huang explained patiently, "This is a strange phenomenon at the Ghost Sea. The seawater here is different from the seawater in other places. There is a rare metal in the seawater here. The metal will be attracted by the Primordial Void, which is why this strange phenomenon is happening!"
"I see!"
Lu Li understood now. Commander Huang continued after some thoughts, "There is a strange creature in the seawater. It is a kind of bug. The bugs are poisonous but they will not attack first.
However, they would not take the initiative to attack. They would only attack martial artists after they entered the sea.
When we go down to collect herbs, we will be attacked by the bugs. "
"Also!"
Commander Huang added, "It is said that there is a Phantom King at the bottom of the sea. But we don't usually go down there. The sea here is very deep. Average people don't dare to go down there. Not even the patriarchs have been down there.
Only our master went down once and he was injured. He didn't say anything but told us not to go down there … "
"Okay!"
Lu Li understood now. The master of the Palace of Hell must be a powerful warrior even though he did not say it explicitly. If he was injured in the sea, then there must be a Phantom King down there.
"Five teams go down. The others, stay alert!"
With a wave of Commander Huang's hand, the five teams of people changed into a strange armor that covered their entire bodies. The group of people split up and headed down the sea in groups of five.
Lu Li sat on the side with his legs crossed to cultivate. There were so many people on guard and there were two commanders here. Someone would inform him if anything happened.
"I wonder if the Dragon Soul will transfer some energy to me after devouring the Specters?"
Lu Li thought of a possibility. Back in the days, there was a horrifying wind in the Valley of Ghosts. The dragon soul could help him transform the energy in that wind to strengthen both his body and soul.
The energy of the Specters was so strong that it was impossible for the dragon soul to absorb them all.
After all, Dragon Souls had never evolved. The rank of Enchanted Souls didn't matter. Lu Li had never heard of any Enchanted Souls evolving.
Therefore, after the Dragon Soul absorbed a certain amount of energy, the excess energy would probably be converted to him. If he could improve his soul or physical body, that would be a very wonderful thing.
"Looking for some ghosts?"
Lu Li was tempted. He wasn't afraid of ghosts. As long as he didn't run into the Ghost King, he would be safe. Ghost Worms and human-faced scorpion beasts couldn't hurt him.
After a while, Lu Li asked Commander Huang, "Commander Huang, how long will it take to collect the herbs?"
"Four or five days!"
Commander Huang said, "Some of the herbs are farther away and there are some strange creatures at the bottom of the sea. So, it is a bit tricky.
I don't want to make too much noise in case I alarm the Ghost King. So, I need some time. "
"Oh, I see!"
Four or five days was a long time. Lu Li said without hesitation, "I will take a look around here. If there are a large number of ghosts, I will kill them or lure them away."
"Take a look?" Commander Huang raised his eyebrows. He said, "Sure, but …"
Commander Huang used his psychic power to stop Lu Li. It wouldn't be good if someone else heard it. He reminded Lu Li, "Lord, don't pick the herbs for yourself. Some of them are marked.
Once they are lost, they will be investigated thoroughly.
If someone is found to be hiding the herbs, they will be executed no matter who they are. "
"Oh?"
Lu Li didn't think about stealing the herbs. He was surprised that the Palace of Hell wasn't afraid of the dark herbs.
He didn't know that all the herbs were marked.
It seemed that there was a mysterious team in the Valley of Ghosts to monitor the entire valley.
Perhaps … there might be people from that mysterious army among them.
Lu Li nodded and flew to the distance. Commander Cao walked over. Looking at Lu Li's back, he snorted and said, "This guy wants to steal the herbs?"
"I don't think so!"
Commander Huang shook his head and said, "I just told him about the rules. He didn't show much emotion. I don't think he is interested. He just wants to wander around."
"I hope he runs into the Ghost King!"
Commander Cao said with hatred. Lu Li humiliated him just now, which made him hate Lu Li. That being said, he didn't dare to do anything to Lu Li. He couldn't see through Lu Li.
"Don't jinx it!"
Commander Huang glared at him and said, "He is just wandering around. If he runs into the Ghost King, do you think we can survive?"
"That's true …"
Commander Cao slapped his head. His eyes flickered as he suddenly transmitted his voice, "Old Huang, why don't we secretly get rid of him?
I have a feeling that he has something valuable on him. Given our strength, we can kill him easily. "
"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
Commander Huang glared fiercely at Commander Cao and said, "Since he was able to become the Great Commander out of nowhere and has such a mysterious combat strength, who knows if he has any background?
Also, you said he has something valuable. If he has a fragment of a Holy Weapon or a Divine Weapon, do you think we can defeat him? "
"Well, let's suck it up for now."
Commander Cao took a deep breath, feeling upset. He looked to where Lu Li went and snorted, "Don't give me a chance or … hmm."
Lu Li didn't know he was being hated. Even if he did, he wouldn't care.
Lu Li began to wander around on his own. He didn't dare to go too far. He was fast. Soon, he ran into many Ghost Worms and human-faced scorpion beasts.
He didn't use his dragon wings to escape. Instead, he let out the Worm of the Void and the Gu King.
The demons here were powerful. He wanted to see if the Worm of the Void and the Gu King could evolve.
If the Worm of the Void could evolve again, he wouldn't be afraid of a group of warriors at the peak of the third tribulation.
"Alas … no!"
Half a day later, Lu Li stood on a hill and shook his head in disappointment.
The Worm of the Void and the Gu King had eaten many human-faced scorpion beasts and Ghost Worms. However, apart from the Worm of the Void that split up, the others didn't evolve.
"Let's go!"
When the Worm of the Void devoured the last human-faced scorpion beast, Lu Li flew to the distance.
This time, he used his dragon wings to avoid many human-faced scorpion beasts.
He was as fast as the initial stage of the fourth tribulation. The average human-faced scorpion beasts couldn't catch up with him and the Ghost Worms were not as fast.
"Good, very good!"
