Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the stone door, and went inside.
Four orbs of light floated in the four corners of the room. In the center of the stone bed sat an old woman with a haggard face. The woman only had her upper body; her lower body was connected to the bed. Unlike the others, she was wearing clothes, a large cloak made of some kind of fur.
Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, then asked uncertainly.
"Don't know what to call it?"
The old lady replied calmly, "I don't have a name, just call me Grandma."
Xu Fu continued, "God, what kind of civilization are you?"
I am not a god.
Xu Fu was even more puzzled: "Then you...."
"My former self was a wizard who practiced strange magic. After my death, I merged with the spirits of the gods, so you can think of me as a sentient being."
"Did you create those tentacles?"
"Okay, if you have any other questions..."
Xu Fu shook his head: "That's what you need to ask. You're next."
The old woman raised her head, revealing lifeless eye sockets.
Do you want to go back to Earth?
"Yes, the exit to the Valley of No Return is blocked, so I have to risk asking for your help."
I can't help you.
Xu Fu continued, "I've heard that the path out of the Valley of No Return has been sealed by the gods. Can you open it?"
I can't
Their attitude was indifferent and quite apathetic.
Do you know of any other ways to leave the underworld?
"The only entrance to Earth is the Valley of No Return."
Hearing this, Xu Fu was extremely disappointed, his face filled with sorrow: "I'm sorry, Grandma, please remember to tell us if you need anything. We come from Earth just like you, we don't belong to the underworld."
After saying that, he nodded slightly, turned around and left the stone house.
Leng Yue looked at him curiously: "Did Grandma agree?"
Xu Fu instinctively dodged away: the girl was beautiful, but her petal-shaped mouth covered with fangs was terrifying.
"No, I don't think it's because I don't believe in myself."
But I will prove my sincerity.
Xu Fu raised his fist, his expression solemn.
Leng Yue smiled shamelessly and said, "I believe in you, you will definitely succeed."
Xu Fu smiled and hesitated for a moment.
"Why do you trust me so much just because I come from the Celestial Court?"
"Yes, the Immortal Academy needs to unite and help each other."
If he remembered correctly, among the seven great divine races, the Eastern Celestial Court was the most adept at internal strife, because the number of gods who died in internal strife was almost the sum of all the other divine races.
However, this girl claims to be one with the Celestial Court, so nothing can provoke her!
Leng Yue personally led Xu Fu out of the cave, and before parting, she invited him to come visit when he had time, repeatedly saying that she would treat him as a close friend.
After bidding farewell to Leng Yue, Xu Fu returned to the Valley of No Return, where several of Clark's men were waiting for him. He was unusually relieved.
Diana asked hurriedly, "Have you seen them?"
"One good news and one bad news"
Xu Fu handed over the Sword of Vulcan and the Lasso of Truth, then set up a protective barrier and whispered.
"The good news is that I passed their interrogation and was able to make contact; the bad news is that the owner of the tentacles is very wary of us."
"Just who is this gentleman?"
"She wasn't a god; she said she was an old witch with otherworldly magic."
Xu Fu shrugged: "I think she's lying."
"What about the other parts? How many tentacles are there?"
"From the outside, they have at least a hundred people. Frankly speaking, if a conflict really breaks out, our chances of winning are extremely slim unless we find their weaknesses."
More than a hundred gods with different abilities, even though they only had power left and no bodies, launched an unimaginable attack.
Diana said sadly, "I think there must be something going on here. You've forgotten what Nephthys, the goddess of fertility, said: she wanted us to kill that monster. Ask her why she wanted us to get rid of it. If she were really like the other gods, she would just want to go home. This is contradictory."
This is something worth pondering.
Rong Genmao sighed: "I have a feeling that I've encountered something terrible, even more cunning than the Parallax Demon Kenster from before."
Clark turned around.
“Xu Fu, we’d better leave the White Bone Plain first. That’s her lair. If a conflict breaks out, we’ll be in a very passive position.”
Xu Fu frowned slightly: Clark's suggestion was for security reasons, but once he left, the old witch would start to have doubts, and the foundation he had worked so hard to build would crumble. He didn't want to see that happen.
If you don't go, it's like being constantly under enemy fire.
It's difficult to decide whether to go or not.
Just then, a powerful soul fluctuation came from afar, an aura associated with death, radiating terrifying spiritual pressure.
"That taste, could it be...?"
Xu Fu's pupils contracted, and his expression turned serious.
Chapter 1576 The inevitable battle
The visitor walked very quickly; one second he was at the very edge of his field of vision, and the next he was right in front of him.
Eighteen people lined up in a row. The leader was wearing armor, carrying four curved swords on his back. He had dark blue skin and three eyes: one was pitch black and deep, one was burning with flames, and the other was covered in frost.
It stands there, seemingly in harmony with heaven and earth, exuding an extremely ancient aura.
The other seventeen people all looked different: some looked like demons, some had no hands or feet, some looked like fish-men, and some looked like the one who was pressing down on the soul of death.
The spiritual energy they exude is similar to that of the Nether Dragon, but it is purer.
Without a doubt, these people were the Grim Reapers of the Underworld. The simultaneous appearance of eighteen Grim Reapers sent chills down Xu Fu's spine.
Diana said with concern.
"they are..."
Xu Fu shook his head and jumped into the sky.
"What are you doing here?"
Dom stared at him blankly, then turned his gaze to Clark and Diana.
"Of course, this is a human being, a descendant of God."
"There hasn't been a single person in the underworld for thousands of years." "Then how did you get here?"
Xu Fu frowned, and after a moment of silence, he honestly replied, "Someone opened the gates of the underworld and brought us here with the help of Anubis's power."
"Yes"
Dom then realized why he was trapped in the Underworld; he had been framed. The Gate to the Underworld was one of the most powerful dark magic spells, and also the one with the least energy consumption and the strongest attack power. It used the power of death to send enemies into the Underworld, and it was impossible to survive if trapped there.
"Your purpose in coming to the Valley of No Return is to return to Earth through the cave."
"Yes"
Xu Fu nodded, staring intently at his interlocutor. He noticed something strange: these Death Gods didn't seem to intend to take any action, which was puzzling.
"You can't go back. The cave exit is sealed off, and no one can open it." He paused, then said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, did you see any strange creatures on your way here?"
Xu Fu tried asking, "I'd like to know what strange creature you're talking about? A nocturnal dragon?"
"It's not a monster, it's tentacles, extremely large tentacles."
"That's not it. What we saw were dragons and other sewing monsters, not tentacles."
Xu Fu answered without hesitation, showing no emotional fluctuation, which seemed to indicate it was true.
Dom said nothing more, gave him a deep look, turned and left, followed by the rest of the Grim Reapers.
Diana sighed deeply.
"Xu Fu, they are...."
"Shh, don't talk"
Xu Fu wrote on the floor: "This person hasn't left yet."
All three were stunned. Looking around, they got goosebumps.
Clark wrote on the ground: "What is this?"
