Underworld Blood Lake (1)

LengEr:

Mm this story tells us that we shouldnt sit for too long at the same place, otherwise we might develop hemorrhoids, Ling Chen said earnestly.

What are haemorrhoids? LengEr asked with a confused look.

Haemorrhoids are hmm ah theyre not good. LengEr will know after she grows up, Ling Chen said helplessly while scratching his head. Alright, forget about that one. Ill tell you a different fable. This ones called The Old Man Who Moved A Mountain!

The story goes like this: there was a man named Yu Gong. There were 2 large mountains in front of his house, making it so that his house never had any sunlight. As such, he started moving rocks every day to move those 2 mountains away. An old man called Zhi Sou laughed at him and said, You idiot, these 2 mountains are too big. Youll never be able to finish moving them. In response, Yu Gong said, After I die, theres still my son, and after my son, theres still my grandson. Ill have an innumerable number of descendants, who will one day move the 2 mountains away. This matter was spread quite far away until the Emperor of Heaven heard it. The Emperor of Heaven was very touched, so he sent Sola Aoi, Sakura Ria, Yui Hatano, Hime Kamiya, Maria Ozawa, Azusa Yamamoto, Yui Seto and other goddesses to help Yu Gong give birth to descendants the next day, the old man Zhi Sou also started to move rocks

LengEr: ??????

This fable tells us that no matter what we do, we should be determined and resolute. Only by being determined will we have victory and hope, as well as the love of goddesses, Ling Chen said in a deep tone.

LengEr still looked incredibly confused, and she said in a small voice, Those goddesses all have such strange names why did they help Yu Gong have descendants?

Err this that Ling Chen sighed. It seemed that this fable was still too deep and wasnt understandable by kids. It seemed that he couldnt keep reading that book of fable stories. Wait, that book of fable stories seemed to be called Adult Fables. He should probably throw it away as soon as he got home.

LengEr will also need to grow up to understand that one, Ling Chen said in a complicated tone.

Fable stories arent fun at all. LengEr shook her head in dissatisfaction. I dont want to listen to fables anymore. Can master tell me a better story?

A better story A better story Ling Chen gripped his hair as he gnashed his teeth. He had spent his younger years in a dim world, and he didnt know many stories. He had already told her all the ones he knew about. The book he read most recently was the Adult Fables, and he had enjoyed it immensely. However, now that he thought about it, it wasnt very suitable for kids.

Ling Chens eyes suddenly lit up as he smiled at LengEr. Alright, I wont tell LengEr anymore fable stories then. How about an epic?

An epic?

Thats right. Theyre usually quite long, and they take a few days to be told. Theyre much better than stories that are told very quickly, Ling Chen said confidently as he patted his chest. This story is called Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Im sure LengEr will like this story.

In his younger years, Ling Chen did not have any close relatives, and all of the stories that Ling Chen knew were from Xuanyuan Dia Wu. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was the first epic that Xuanyuan Dia Wu had told Ling Chen. Although she was quite young at the time, she was incredibly intelligent and had a shocking memory. She told the entirety of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to Ling Chen perfectly. That story, full of its ups and downs, moving moments, and intense scenes and grandeur, was firmly imprinted in Ling Chens mind, and he could now even remember every character and event.

It would take him quite a long period of time to tell LengEr the entire story.

LengEr lightly nodded and came closer to Ling Chen. Her snow-white hands were hugging the doll in front of her chest, and her face rested against the doll as she silently listened to Ling Chen talk.

This is how the story began. A long time ago, there was a dynasty called the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a useless emperor called Emperor Ling of Han, who caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion, sending the country into chaos

1 day passed

2 days passed

3 days passed

The distance between the place Ling Chen was first transported to in the Underworld and the Underworld Royal City was 500 to 600 kilometres. With Snow Cherrys Movement Speed and the fact that they could avoid all of the Undead on the ground, they should have arrived within 2 days. However, because the light in the Underworld was quite dim and the ground was covered by a grey fog, it made it difficult to navigate and greatly reduced their speed. Moreover, after Ling Chen started telling LengEr the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she was completely hooked, and she would ask him to continue telling her the story whenever he logged on. If he stopped for even a bit, she would pout, looking incredibly wronged as such, Ling Chen would spend almost all of his time telling the story to her. Often, he would lose himself in the story-telling, and when he came back to his senses and called out Xiao Hui to point out the way, he would find out that they had been off by 90 degrees or so and sometimes have to completely turn around!

Under these circumstances, Ling Chen finally reached the Underworlds central region after 3 days, and he went closer and closer to the Underworld Royal City.

As Ling Chen flew from the north-east to the centre of the Underworld, Ling Chen felt that the more towards the south-west they flew, they hotter it became. In the north-east, the air was quite cold and sinister, but here the air felt slightly hot. What made Ling Chen quite confused was that Undead didnt normally like hot environments. Ling Chen looked towards the west and found that the sky towards the west was covered with a faint red glow. Although it was mostly covered by the deathly grey aura of the Underworld, Ling Chens eyes were perceptive enough to pick up on it.

However, the confusion within Ling Chens heart did not affect his storytelling. After Zhao Zi Long battled ruthlessly in the Battle of Changban, he successfully broke through the encirclement with fatty Liu. When he reached the bridge, he ran into Zhang Yi De, who yelled out, Zi Long, hurry and go! Leave the rest to me after Zhao Zi Long safely left, Zhang Yi De mightily stood in front of the bridge, facing Cao Caos million-man army by himself. When Cao Caos army came to the bridge, Zhang Yi De wielded his viper halberd as he roared, Yan Countrys Zhang Fei is here. Who dares to come and fight to the death? His voice was as loud as thunder, causing the wooden bridge to crumble and the water to flow the opposite way. Cao Cao was so scared that he turned and ran, while Xiahou Jie was so scared that he fell off his horse and died. The million-man army subsequently turned around and fled in terror

Ling Chens narrative paused there because he saw a gigantic figure giving off immense pressure through the grey fog.

The Underworld Royal City!

Ling Chens mind instantly felt refreshed. After travelling for 2 and a half days, he had finally reached the central city of the Underworld. Reaching this place meant that he was incredibly close to his final destination: The Underworld Blood Lake!

And then And then LengEr, who was left at a cliff-hanger, wasnt happy that Ling Chen had suddenly stopped, and she shook his arm as she tried to get him to continue.

Now that they were so close to the Underworld Royal City, Ling Chen was no longer in the mood to tell LengEr stories, so he casually finished, Then Then because Zhang Yi De purposefully destroyed public property, he was restrained by the public security bureau. Mm, thats the end of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was good, right? Ahhh LengEr, look, theres a city over there!

LengErs eyes instantly started becoming red.

Ling Chen hurriedly waved his hands as he tried to salvage the situation, Dont be angry, LengEr, dont be angry. I was just joking just then theres still a lot left of the story, and the ending definitely wasnt like that. Ill keep telling LengEr the story tomorrow, okay? We need to do something important today.

However, LengEr was quite obedient and well-behaved. She didnt continue nagging Ling Chen to tell her the story, but she instead turned and looked towards the Underworld Royal City. While silent, her dark eyes started to become hazy.

She felt that within her half-spirit body something started to jump and beat.

The Underworld Royal City was the Underworlds central city, similar to the Forgotten Continents Forgotten City. However, although it was the central city, the Underworld Royal City was also quite rundown and didnt have the splendour of a capital city. Instead, it only gave a feeling of gloominess and suppression. Standing quite far away from the entrance, Ling Chen saw Undead Warriors standing guard. The Underworld was a secret place in the Mystic Moon world, and it wasnt somewhere players could casually go. He had only been able to easily enter because of LengEr.

Since he had come, he should at least take a look around the Underworld Royal City perhaps he could receive some sort of hidden quest and get something that he couldnt obtain in the outside world. However, the Underworld Royal City was where the high-level Undead gathered. They all had powerful Undead energy and intelligence that was no less inferior than normal humans. Ling Chen was a player, and while his aura of life would not be detected in low-level places, this was the Royal City filled with high-level Undead, so Ling Chen wasnt completely confident that he wouldnt be discovered.

Once it was discovered that he was a living human, the consequences were easily imaginable.

After thinking about it for a while, Ling Chen ultimately decided to pass on entering the Underworld Royal City and took to the skies once again, flying towards the Underworld Blood Lake his goal was to go to the Underworld Blood Lake to find an Orb, not to adventure around. It was better safe than sorry.

The Underworld Blood Lake was north of the Underworld Royal City, and it was less than 10 kilometres away from the Underworld Royal Citys northern gate. However, Ling Chen had no idea just what the Underworld Blood Lake looked like. As such, Ling Chen could only fly slowly and look down, searching for the Underworld Blood Lake.

As he flew further and further from the Underworld Royal City, there were less and less Undead. After about 15 minutes, a single high-level Undead Warrior unhurriedly walked past below Ling Chen. Ling Chens eyebrows jumped as he quickly descended and landed in front of the Undead Warrior, giving him a big fright. The Undead Warrior subconsciously leapt back, and at that moment, Ling Chens eyes flashed, activating a [Deity Curse].

Ding the Libra Orbs effects have been activated, [Deity Curse]s cooldown time has been reset.
