Volume 19 Chapter 212 Under the Nine Springs

"Actually, this material is..." Hades suddenly got stuck in half, making me stupidly look at him and wait for him to continue talking. Maybe he felt that his appetite was almost overwhelming. Hades finally said at this time: "Actually, this material is the soul."

"Soul?"

"Yes, it is the soul left behind by the death of the gods. Whether it is conscious or unconscious, as long as it is a soul."

I frowned and said, "The material of the soul is really easy to find for me, but it will take some trouble to get it. But this is not a problem. As long as it can provide us with the power of faith, there is still no problem for a few souls."

Hades quickly explained when he heard me say this: "It's not a question of a few."

"Not a few? Does it take a lot?"

"It depends on the quality of the soul you provide." Hades explained: "The souls are also divided into levels. For example, the souls of Radamantis and my soul will definitely have a difference in the amount of faith powers. The stronger the gods' strength, the more souls left after death, the more faith powers you can carry. If you get all ordinary souls, then you must have more. If you are as advanced as me, then you can really only have a few."

"Did you talk about the quantity and energyization? Otherwise, I don't know how much it is needed?"

"If you can quantify it, I will tell you directly. And even if it is energized, I can't tell you how much faith power you need, because we are not sure how much faith power can be generated in the underworld in China. In addition, your scheduling arrangements will also affect the demand. If you are not afraid of trouble, then prepare two souls, one is transported and the other is stored. Just bring the transported one back and replace it before the other soul is filled, so that only two can guarantee transportation. Of course, this will become very troublesome, and if something happens, it will cause the absorption of the power of faith interruption. Moreover, if transportation is too frequent, it will be easy to be discovered by outsiders, and the other will increase the unexpected risk of the power of faith transportation."

"Then how long do you think it's more reasonable to ship it?"

"If you can get a lot of souls, the longer the interval, the better. It's better to have it once a year or half a year, but that's a bit scary. So I think the more economical way is to be once a week or once every three days. Of course, it's better to have it once a week."

I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's plan first according to the transportation volume once a week. If we can get enough souls, we will follow this method. If we can't get it together, we will shorten the cycle according to the situation and change it to once every five days or once every three days. Anyway, we will finally see how many souls I can get."

"I can only do this at the moment."

After Hades finished speaking, Pandora next to him suddenly said, "Didn't you say that the underworld here do not collect the power of faith? Does that mean that we can collect the power of faith from the other ten other Halls of Yama?"

When I heard Pandora's question, I wanted to reject it immediately, but I thought it would be true, so I asked, "How did you collect the power of faith? If the method is more concealed, I can find an excuse to send you over to try it. If it requires a larger array, it will be difficult to deal with."

Hades replied: "The way to collect the power of faith is not troublesome, you only need to build a faith aggregator."

“What is a faith aggregator?”

"It is a device that carved inside with many special magic arrays that can concentrate the power of faith."

“Is it very complicated?”

Hades nodded and said, "It's very complicated."

I thought for a while and said, "How long will it take for you to create it? I want to see the real thing."

"There are several in my kingdom of God now, but here...!"

When I heard Hades' words, I remembered to ask questions. I was still standing at the intersection and still didn't move. I quickly apologized to Hades and the others, and then took them to the Hall of Yama.

While I took Hades and the others to the Hall of Yama, I introduced them to them. "The one we are walking on is the Huangquan Road. On the road, these dead souls are assigned to us, the deceased people who are dealt with every day. They walk on the right and middle of the road, and the road on the left is specially made for ghost messengers in the underworld and souls who need to return to the sun."

Pandora looked at the forests on both sides and asked, "Then where is the forest next to this?"

"It's the forest."

"All of them?" Pandora asked in surprise.

I nodded and said, "The introduction given by Heaven said that there are endless forests around it. Later, I sent someone in to explore it. At the farthest time, I ran more than 20,000 kilometers, but the end of the day was still an endless sea of ​​forests, and there was not even a gap."

"So big? Have you never noticed where its edge is?"

I shrugged helplessly, "I also want to know where its edge is, but unfortunately it is too big, and the forest is not absolutely safe. There are many monsters that have never been discovered. When I sent someone to explore, I discovered tens of thousands of monsters that I had never seen before. Some of these creatures appeared in groups, and some of them had a single action, and the levels were of varying degrees. The most powerful creature I have discovered so far took only five seconds to kill all my exploration teams."

"Then what strength is your exploration team?" Radamantis asked.

I glanced at him and said, "You can kill you with just three people, and you won't even have a chance to run. There are twelve people in an exploration team. You can figure out what their strength is."

Originally, Radamantis, who had been unable to fight his team, was blocked by me and didn't know what to say. In the end, Pandora changed the subject and asked: "Is the Hall of Yama at the end of this road?"

"That's right." I explained: "This road is not far ahead and turns around and the forest ends. The location we came out before is actually the edge of the forest. Behind us is the core area of ​​the forest. Further out of the forest area is a river, and the river water is connected to the quiet sea, so the forest cannot extend. There is a bridge on the river called Naihe Bridge, and each of the eleven Halls has one, and the styles are exactly the same. There is a large sea of ​​flowers on the other side of the river. Speaking of this, it is very similar to the underworld in Europe."

Persephone frowned and asked, "Can they be all the other shore flowers?"

I nodded and said helplessly: "It seems that the underworld in the world only grows this kind of flower, and this thing seems to be particularly adapted to the environment of the underworld. Anyone can grow into a large area soon. If no one cares about it, my Hall of Yama will be covered with this thing in three months. But it is strange that I can't see a single flower in the forest here, and even if I deliberately transplant it, it will die quickly."

After hearing my words, Hades suddenly walked to the side of the road and pressed a hand on the tree next to him. Then in less than five seconds, the tree suddenly lit up, and a green aperture instantly gathered from the roots of the tree to the trunk and quickly concentrated at the place where Hades pressed his hand. He heard an electric shock, Hades shook his hand and took two steps back, and his face turned extremely ugly.

"What's going on? Are you okay?" I held Hades and asked, "I've never heard of this tree attacking people before? What did you do just now?"

Hades first looked at his palm, but found that the palm of his hand was burnt. Then he replied with lingering fear: "I suggest you don't touch these trees in the future, especially not to cut them down."

I nodded and said, "I won't cut this if you don't say it. I have sent someone to test it. These trees are all made of negative energy. Even if they are cut down, they cannot be used as wood. They will quickly decay when they come into contact with them. And any positive energy substance will corrode each other. I will not transport such dangerous things to the world. As for the underworld, the houses have been repaired a long time ago, and I can't use them to cut trees to build a house by myself. But why do you tell me not to move these trees?"

Hades thought about it and suddenly pulled me to his side, then he whispered to me the reason.

"What? Are you serious?" I almost jumped up after hearing Hades' words.

Hades nodded and said, "Just know, don't spread it randomly to avoid panic. Just go down the ban and not cut down trees. Anyway, you are all your people here, and no one will violate the rules."

I nodded to show my understanding, and then took everyone back to the Hall of Yama.

The reason Hades said just now was quite scary. He actually told me that these things that looked like trees were not trees, but hairs. Yes, they were hairs. Just like the hairs on kittens and dogs. These things that we have always regarded as trees are actually all hairs on the back of a super creature... The tip. Yes. Only the tips. Hades just used his divine thoughts to explore the trunks down the tree trunks, but found that these trees had no roots. After entering the ground along the trunks, they were trunks that were exactly the same as those on the ground.

It has been extending to the ground for several thousand meters. According to Hades, the above things that look like trees are actually things that change to adapt to the environment here. The form is similar to the transformation technique, but the transformation technique changes the entire body, but this guy only turns his hair into a tree. Moreover, the leaves and crowns of these trees are not real crowns. From a functional perspective, they should actually be considered as roots, because these leaves and trunks are constantly absorbing the positive energy around and transmitting them to his body deep underground.

While the team was still moving forward, I followed Hades and asked in a low voice: "Do you think these trees are absorbing positive energy?"

Hades looked around and made sure that his subordinates were far away from us before whispering: "Just now, my divine thoughts continued down the trees as if they were touching the body of the creature. The other party was obviously sleeping now, and it can be seen from the breath that the creature should be very weak. But..."

"But what? Don't always say halfway? Are you going to be anxious?"

"But that creature is full of positive energy."

"Positive energy? Are you talking about a creature based on positive energy buried under the land of an underworld that is entirely composed of negative energy?"

Hades shook his head and said, "I suspect that it was not that thing buried under the underworld, but that the underworld was originally built on him."

"Damn, you mean that our Chinese underworld is built on a giant beast, not on a large island like you do?"

"I'm afraid yes."

After listening to Hades' speculation, I was silent for a while and returned to my heartbeat to normal level, and then said: "This guy has positive energy all over his body, but he was soaked in the sea of ​​silence, and there was a continent on his body. If he didn't die like this, it means that his strength has definitely reached a level that is against the will of heaven. At least in my opinion, his strength may be only one step away from the upper god."

Hades nodded and said, "I think this guy can use at least one or several laws, otherwise he would not be able to survive in such extreme environments. According to this point, his strength should be a quasi-upper god, weaker than those real upper gods, but much stronger than us lower gods."

I followed, "But he was obviously injured or sealed. He turned his hair into a tree to absorb positive energy to restore himself, but this is the underworld, and even if there is positive energy, it is very small. In addition, he has to constantly fight the erosion of negative energy of the Sea of ​​Silence. The positive energy he absorbs may not only not accumulate, but also decrease."

Hades immediately took it and said, "That's why he can't wake up for so long and acts so weak."

"Then you scare me not to cut trees? Cut off his energy supply, won't he die faster?"

Hades immediately shook his head and said, "Do you know what boiled frogs in warm water?"

I immediately understood as soon as I heard this. "You mean that the person who sealed this guy was to let him die slowly in this state. If we cut off his energy supply, he would be awakened by the loss of energy balance. Even if he was going to die in the end, his struggle before his death would definitely turn into a world-class disaster, right?"

"I'm afraid it's not just that simple." Hades said: "This guy's body is full of positive energy, and you also know what the result will be when positive energy and negative energy come into contact. Keeping his current state slowly consumes his positive energy, then he will eventually die quietly. But once the positive energy supply disappears and he suddenly dies, the remaining positive energy in his body will contact the negative energy of the Sea of ​​Silence. Then there will be a bang, and the whole world will be purified."

"Hey... it seems that this is indeed possible, so we should not mess with him and keep the status quo!"

Just as we were discussing this issue, the team had already walked out of the forest without realizing it. In front of the woodland, a small bridge with Chinese characteristics appeared on a small river that was not very wide. At both ends of the bridge were several ghost officers, among which several tables were placed there. The ghosts who lined up across the bridge would be taken to the front of the table, and then the ghost officers who sat behind the table would stamp their foreheads. The ghosts who were stamped with seals would be taken behind to drink the legendary Mengpo soup, but after drinking it, a small ball of flame would immediately appear above their heads. The ghost officers standing on the side would pick the fire with special tools and throw it into a giant tripod next to them. At this time, a raging fire was burning in the tripod, which obviously collected a lot of soul fires.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Hades's men were constantly discussing this strange way of working. After all, they would not extract soul fire from the dead, so they had never seen such a strange process. Of course, if the Chinese King of Hell went to Hades and theirs to visit, they would definitely be as curious as Hades and theirs now, because Hades and theirs did not extract soul fire but collected the power of faith.

Seeing me coming, the ghost officers by the river immediately put down their work and saluted me. I quickly introduced Hades and the others and asked them to go back to work. After all, this place is not like other places. The ghost officers are very busy. Wasting their time will not only affect my own interests but also cause ghost backlogs.

In front of the place passing through the Naihe Bridge, which is similar to the checkpoint, is a large sea of ​​flowers. The beautiful red silky petals are blooming incredibly brilliantly and beautifully, and the red silky petals are as if they are about to drip. Some flowers can even see crystal glitters, which is simply beautiful. Of course, the more beautiful things are in the underworld, the more dangerous things are, so except for us professional underworld staff, it is better for ordinary people not to get close to them. Just because of the beauty of these red silky flowers, if not too much, the beauty of these red silky flowers is Danger, I have planted this thing with Aisinger. But then again, it seems that the most planted roses in the flower beds of Aisinger are not a safe plant. If you sense danger, you will emit huge toxic hypnosis gas around you, which can make people sleep forever in a beautiful dream. However, it is not completely unhealthy to plant this dangerous plant in the city. At least I never have to do anything to promote the protection of flowers, plants and trees in Aisinger, because anyone who dares to mess with flowers and plants in Aisinger will report to the Resurrection Temple.

Pandora took a deep breath at the sea of ​​flowers around her, and then held her breath for a long time as if she had to taste it carefully before exhaling that breath and said, "Ah, the smell of death! The fragrance of the poison is the feeling that the underworld should have!"

While Pandora was feeling the scent of the deadly flowers, Hades gently hugged Persephone, who was trembling and said, "If you don't like it, we can live in the temple of Aisinger. The distance here is not far. How about I come here for a few hours every day and go back after handling official duties?"
