Chapter 2: Horror Hell
()
In an indescribable sense of hazyness, Pei Jiao seemed to have passed through the passage of life and death. He could clearly feel it, but he could not move, could not say it, and could not imagine. This feeling would drive him crazy. I don’t know how long it had passed. Pei Jiao’s eyes lit up and finally came through the vortex passage. With a bang, he had already fallen to the ground, and at the same time, the old man who had been pulling his shoulders tightly.
Taking advantage of the lack of force when he fell, Pei Jiao finally suddenly took off the old man's grab, and jumped from the ground with a bounce. A few meters above him, the entrance of the black hole vortex had become smaller and smaller. Before he could react, the entire black hole vortex had completely disappeared in front of him, leaving only hundreds of people lying there and moaning constantly.
Pei Jiao only felt that his shoulders were extremely painful. This pain was different from the previous pain of physical torn apart, but a continuous pain of soul tearing, which made him anxious. Fortunately, this pain was slowly decreasing, not the continuous soul pain. Otherwise, he would have been willing to lose his soul. It was not until this time that he slowly looked around and saw clearly what was in front of him.
This is a barren plain, with no green grass on the entire plain, the ground is dark red, and there are cracked rocks and mud everywhere. From the ground where he stood, I don’t know how far this barren plain extends, but on the other side, it seems that the ground suddenly disappeared, and at the end of the ground, there is a dark void. This scene is really unimaginable, just like the ancient legendary sky, when the ground reaches its end, it will fall down directly.
Pei Jiao looked up at the sky again. The whole sky was a dark color. I don’t know how thick the hazy clouds were, so I couldn’t see the sun through the sky... He even suspected that there was no sun in this world. The scene around here was really like hell. In that dark place, will there be a sun in such a place?
"What is this place?" Pei Jiao murmured at the surrounding barren plains.
Pei Jiao was so confused at this moment that he suddenly ran here from the world. He didn't think he had traveled through time like in the novel. The so-called traveling through time is not so strange. He also traveled through hundreds of people at one time. These people were clearly the number of people who died in Shanghai in one day. As he thought before, all his souls were included in another world, not accumulated in the real world. Otherwise, the souls in the real world would have been piled up on the earth, and there might be only a few hundred people in Shanghai there?
"In other words, this is the underworld? Or hell?" Pei Jiao looked around again. If his guess was good, this place was indeed the underworld that the dead should go to. Then the number of souls here must be billions or even more. After all, humans will die every moment. If they accumulate, the souls here may be more than the population in the real world... But it is strange that, with so many souls accumulated together, why is the world so desolate?
Pei Jiao was extremely strange and vaguely frightened. That ominous premonition has always been with him. Since he came to this world, the premonition has become more and more obvious. Just as he looked around, he saw more than a dozen black dots appearing in the distance, and the black dots were approaching everyone at an extremely fast speed. As he ran, a rolled soil layer appeared behind the black dots, which shows how fast the movement speed of the dozen black dots was.
As soon as Pei Jiao discovered the dozen or so black dots, he immediately focused all his attention on that side, because on this vast plain, the only one was the dozen or so black dots unusual. Gradually, he finally saw the full picture of the dozen or so black dots... Yes, it was a dozen huge black wolfs several meters!
Pei Jiao's eyes shrank, and he immediately looked around. Although the plain was extremely desolate, there were some rocks several meters or even several meters high standing everywhere. Pei Jiao looked around and found a rock about hundreds of meters away and rushed over. Behind him, the hundreds of human souls were still lying on the ground in a little dull manner. A few souls stood up slowly. However, these souls no longer looked like humans. The tallest among them was nearly three meters tall. The body was just two feet, hands and one head, and they were still primates. However, these people had reptile-like scales on the surface of their bodies to a greater or lesser extent, and more than a dozen people even had their faces changed. Although they were not green-faced and fangs, they looked a little scary.
Pei Jiao was really unbelievable at this moment, especially with the appearance of those giant wolves, the sense of crisis came straight into his heart, so he rushed towards the huge rock without thinking. As soon as he arrived near the rock, he rushed under the rock, constantly searching under the rock with his hands, but the rock was pressing against the ground and pressing it tightly, there was a slight gap there for him to drill. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over... But it was a pity that he was currently in the soul body, and he might be sweating there, which made him feel more anxious.
"Calm down!" Pei Jiao suddenly stood still. He took a few deep breaths and forced his inner anxiety and fear. He also shouted to himself in his heart to calm down. Until his emotions stabilized slightly, he found another huge rock block and ran away, hoping that there would be somewhere to hide from the huge rock block.
The black dots in the distance became closer and closer, and the giant wolf, which was three or four meters tall from his feet to his head, became more and more obvious. It was about three or four kilometers away from everyone. Pei Jiao ran below another giant rock at this time. Compared with the speed of the giant wolf, if there was no place to hide in this giant rock, then he would have no time to find another giant rock... Those giant wolf could definitely tear him apart before he ran to another giant rock.
Pei Jiao felt his whole body trembling. Although it was a soul body, his chest was still beating violently when he became nervous. He didn't know if it was the heart or another organ. Pei Jiao tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and at the same time he hurriedly lay on the ground and kept searching. Finally, his hand was empty and he found a small gap at the intersection of the rock and the ground. However, he didn't care whether the gap could accommodate it. He quickly extended his feet under the rock and forced it down inch by inch, allowing the rock to tear open his soul body. He actually endured the severe pain and pushed himself into the gap below the rock. At the same time, he used his hand to dig the soil and blocked the entrance of the gap by half. When he finished all this, the first giant wolf had already rushed into the crowd.
The giant wolf was dark all over, and its hair was erect like a steel needle. Its body was even more terrifyingly large. It was about three or four meters from foot to head, and more than ten meters from tail to head. It was simply as big as the legendary dinosaur. People stood in front of them, as if they were pitifully small, just like a kitten in front of humans. What made Pei Jiao feel most cold was that the wolf's head was not a wolf's head, but a human's head!
Yes, the wolf's head is an enlarged human head, but the human head's eyes are emitting green light, and its mouth has mutated violently. It is completely like countless protruding sharp teeth, just like the big teeth of a saber-toothed tiger. However, the saber-toothed tiger has only two protruding sharp teeth, while the giant wolf's heads have dozens of sharp teeth in the mouth, each of which is like a dagger, revealing a white cold light.
At the moment, a huge human-headed wolf broke into the crowd. It lowered its head and bit it down. With a light sound, the three human souls under it were bitten in its mouth by it. The three human souls were originally a little dull, but they all roared in pain as they tear and chewed the sharp teeth. The sound was really terrifying. However, the human-headed wolf didn't know what it meant to stop. It was still chewing in its mouth. After a few bites, it swallowed the three human souls into its stomach.
After the soul was torn apart, no blood splashed out, but some light spot particles the size of a thumbnail floated out, and there were also tiny black silk streams. The huge human-headed wolf chewed on the three human souls. During this period, many light spot particles and black silk streams floated out. The huge human-headed wolf seemed to enjoy it very much, sucked all the light spot particles and black silk streams into his mouth. Then he slapped the dozens of human souls around him to the ground with a single claw, and swallowed two human souls in one mouthful.
Indeed, after the black airflow invaded the body, the physical fitness of these human souls had obviously mutated. They were not as strong as humans. However, no matter how unlike humans, they could not be compared with the dozen terrifying giant wolf in front of them. What kind of wolf is there? It is clearly an unknown ancient monster. With a slap in the claw, it hits the ground with a deep pit of several meters in size. It swallows the souls of several people with a mouth, and tear it gently.
The souls were torn into pieces. Not to mention these soul bodies, even those tanks and chariots, it was probably similar to paper in front of the giant wolf. However, in an instant, the souls of hundreds of people had been eaten up by these more than ten human-faced giant wolfs. In a vaguely, Pei Jiao felt that the bodies of these giant wolfs seemed to be bigger, but when he looked closely, he couldn't tell what was going on. At this moment, he just held his breath and looked at the movements of the dozen giant wolfs with all his attention.
Pei Jiao didn't know whether these giant wolves had a sensitive sense of smell, nor did he know whether their soul bodies could be smelled out, but he knew that as long as he was discovered by these giant wolves, what was waiting for him would definitely be a path of death... It was not a death like a soul, but a real death that even the consciousness and soul disappeared!
However, Pei Jiao's worries did not come true. The giant wolf seemed to be in a hurry. After swallowing all the human souls on the scene, they each roared to the sky and ran away in the roar of this roar. However, they had never found Pei Jiao hiding under the giant rock.
But Pei Jiao didn't dare to move at all. He stayed firmly under the crack. After about three or four hours, he carefully drilled out of the crack. At this time, he looked at his body carefully. In the desperate squeeze just now, his belly had already been cut by the corners of the giant rock. If he were a normal person, this level was enough to see the intestines and internal organs. However, Pei Jiao could only see the spots of light and color spots from his belly. And as these spots accumulate to the gap, the scars in his body began to gradually recover and became a complete body again.
Pei Jiao touched his intact belly, and he looked at the flat ground in the distance, where he and the hundreds of people landed, but at this moment, the hundreds of people all turned into food for the monster wolf. What's even more terrifying is that after this killing, he could not even find a trace of blood or trace, as if everything was just his fantasy, but the pain of soul tearing on his body still told him that everything just now was real, the souls of those hundreds of people had been swallowed by monsters, and now he is also in this monster-like world, and he may be swallowed by such a monster-like giant creature at any time.
"Oh, is this really hell? No wonder, if there are monsters like those human-headed giant wolfs here, no matter how many souls fall here, they will be swallowed alive by those monsters, there may be civilization there?"
Pei Jiao was talking to himself. When he said this, his whole body was cold, and he felt even his heart was cold. He originally planned to work hard and accumulate a family business in the underworld. He could support his parents after a hundred years, but who knew that the reality was so cruel. Although there was indeed a soul after death, this soul would fall into such a terrifying hell. It would be impossible to control one's life and death... He didn't believe that those hundreds of people were all so-called evil people. Those people were just ordinary people in Shanghai, both good and evil. People's hearts might be pure good and evil, they were just balanced objects in the middle, but these ordinary people fell into this hell and were all swallowed by monsters... It can be imagined that this world should be the destination of all souls. There is no good and evil, and there is no so-called paradise!
No matter what, after Pei Jiao stayed in place and thought about it for a long time, he could only walk into the wilderness helplessly. He could not have been huddled in this cave for the rest of his life, right? Although he is a soul body, I don’t know if he will be hungry or thirsty, he is always a person. He must have some actions, but he cannot turn into a stone and stay here for hundreds of years. In that way, even if he is still alive, it is equivalent to death.
"Damn, I don't believe that there is no life. Everything has a glimmer of hope. It's impossible to be swallowed if you enter this hell, right?"
Pei Jiao was also cruel. He was ready to explore this world well. Maybe this world is like other worlds in the novels, and there may be humans gathering together to use various methods to fight against creatures like monster wolfs. Maybe the plains are the so-called deaths in the novels. But they are not lucky and fell into these dangerous areas when they traveled through time. Maybe this world is still very beautiful...
In this way, as if he was deceiving himself, Pei Jiao began to explore this wasteland carefully. Because he saw the horror of the giant wolf, he kept being careful enough at all times. But for some reason, after entering this world, his soul's ability to float was gone, just like an ordinary person could only walk on the ground, and when he touched those stones and soil, it felt like he was still a physical body, and these grounds and rocks were all real objects. In this case, he could only rely on his vision to visit around, keeping enough vigilance like a rabbit at all times. The slightest noise was enough to make him tremble.
However, with such caution, Pei Jiao had walked hundreds of kilometers away from the arrival in just dozens of hours. He had not seen a monster along the way. On such a vast and huge plain, the number of monsters was very rare. At least Pei Jiao had not seen half of the traces far away, which made him feel a little calmer at this moment.
As a soul body, Pei Jiao walked hundreds of kilometers in a row. He never felt thirsty and hungry, and even his physical strength was intact. He just didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his strength seemed to have been reduced a little... It must be an illusion. Pei Jiao comforted himself like this, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
(Conservation of energy and conservation of mass. I think even the soul body should be like this. It is said that someone in foreign countries has done such an experiment, putting the dying person into a tightly sealed measuring instrument. When he died, the weight of the human body has indeed decreased a little, and this weight is the weight of the soul. Now, my soul has gone for such a long journey, neither thirst nor hungry, nor even tired, but where did the energy I consumed so many roads come from? Could it be the power composed of my soul? If I keep walking, I will disappear sooner or later one day, right?)
Pei Jiao was really anxious. In fact, since he came to this hell, he had been feeling this anxiety in his heart. Even ants were alive. People like him who had already thoughts in their hearts did not want to die. He wanted to go back to meet his relatives, and he wanted to create something that he would wait for his parents to support them a hundred years later... Yes, he didn't want to die!
With such obsession, Pei Jiao walked towards the extremely distant Void. He wanted to see what was going on there. After all, this plain was so big that it was exaggerated. If he walked with his footsteps, it might be possible to walk for a few years. According to the degree of reducing his strength in dozens of hours, his way of walking would disappear at most half a year, and no consciousness could be left behind. Therefore, the only turning point at present may be that Void.
As the saying goes, when you look at the mountain and run to death, although Pei Jiao can see the dark cross-border void at a distance, he finds that the road is too far away when he walks over. He starts from the land of his arrival and goes to cross-border void. Pei Jiao has walked for at least two or three hundred hours along the way. In the end, he can no longer calculate the time. He even forgets whether there will be monsters around him. He just walks towards the cross-border void. Along the way, his strength is shrinking more and more, and he can even feel it. His strength has been reduced by at least half a fraction of the size when he arrives in this world. It can be seen that his soul body is indeed gradually weakening.
Just as Pei Jiao sighed at how he would die in the end, he was halfway from the Hengduan Void, and it was estimated that it would take about four or five hundred hours to get close to the Hengduan Void. Just as he walked forward and calculated the degree of his weakness, a tremor that made him palpitations suddenly came from behind him. It was a feeling of danger approaching. He also felt it when the monster wolf appeared. At this moment, he appeared again, and Pei Jiao was shocked and looked back.
In the very far away outside the sky, there were another small amount of black dots. If Pei Jiao had not been the soul body now and had a more thorough vision than when he was a mortal, he would not have seen such a faraway place. Although he could not see clearly what the black dot was, the feeling in his heart could not have deceived people. Since he became a soul body, Pei Jiao's sixth sense has become stronger. This may be a unique advantage of the soul body. After being freed from the constraints of the body, his will and soul were liberated, and it would be reasonable to say that the sixth sense is stronger.
Seeing that the black dot was flying towards this place, Pei Jiao began to look for the surrounding giant rocks again, but when he turned around, Pei Jiao felt distressed immediately. He walked to this flat ground with great mortality. Not to mention the huge rocks around, he couldn't even find a small stone ball. The huge rock closest to him was also several kilometers away. He ran forward at his speed. Not to mention running to the huge rock, I'm afraid that he would be eaten by the flying monster just after running a few hundred meters. After all, the monster was flying, and it was not as good as a monster wolf. In just a few seconds, Pei Jiao had vaguely seen the figure of the monster, clearly a nine-clawed human-headed monster bird.
Pei Jiao shouted, but it was unimaginable at this moment. Although he knew that he could not run away from the huge rock by speed, he still ran forward desperately. This was really desperate. If he didn't escape, he would die. If he escaped, he might have a little chance of vitality. However, while running, Pei Jiao felt a slight sting on his back. He knew in his heart that the nine-clawed monster bird was staring at him. The stinging feeling should be the place where the monster bird's sight was paid attention.
(Damn it, I often hear people say that those who learn martial arts and body refining themselves can feel that others pay attention to their sight after they become round and united. I didn’t expect that after I became a soul body, I would rather not have such ability. I just want that strange bird not to chase me!)
Pei Jiao became more and more frightened, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense. He thought of many thoughts in a daze, but all the thoughts were left to escape and live. With such unprecedented concentration, a layer of electric lightning gradually appeared on the soles of his feet. However, the electric lightning did not make a sound, but it was concentrated at Pei Jiao's feet like shoes. With the appearance of the electric lightning, Pei Jiao's running speed also accelerated. Later, he rushed out thousands of meters away like a black shadow. It took only ten seconds in a short time. When Pei Jiao turned his head against the giant rock, he suddenly realized that he had run out such a long distance, and the black spots in the sky had only magnified for a few more times, about seven or eight kilometers away from him.
(Huh? Am I running so fast? It's even faster than a bird...)
Pei Jiao was really surprised and happy to see him running to the destination. He immediately searched for a gap under the huge rock, trying to find another gap where he could accommodate him, but the more he was anxious, the more he made a mistake. In this hurry, he couldn't help but use force on his hand and kept trying to explore the big gap under the huge rock. As soon as he reached into a narrow gap, he stuck his wrist in the gap. The more he was anxious, the more he couldn't pull it out. Until he finally pulled it out, a gust of wind came from the back of his head, which made him not have time to turn around and look carefully. He could only roll on the ground based on his feeling. Then a severe pain of tearing his soul on his left foot came, and his left foot had been completely torn from his knees.
The nine-clawed human-faced bird had already pounced down from the sky, and the nine-claws came out together. If Pei Jiao had not avoided quickly, his claw would have been torn to pieces. However, the monster bird still tore off a thigh. Not only that, the monster bird was inlaid in the giant rock when it pounced on him. The claws were so sharp and its power were so huge that a loud noise broke out. The giant rock was actually caught in pieces. This was a huge rock dozens of meters tall. It was mostly broken under one claw, and the broken stone fell down like a stone rain, pressing Pei Jiao, who was half lying on the ground, into the gravel, but he was extremely moved at all.
It was not until this time that Pei Jiao could see clearly the full picture of the nine-clawed human-faced bird. The nine-clawed human-faced bird was about eight or nine meters long. If it spread its wings, it would be nearly twenty meters long and about three or four meters tall, which was more terrifying and ferocious than the giant wolf in human head. The face of the nine-clawed human-faced bird looked like a woman, but the face of this woman was distorted and ferocious. Just a glance made people feel scared. Not only that, the woman's face kept making a sharp whistle sound from her face, and the sound was like rubbing the glass with iron wire, which made Pei Jiao's eardrums break... Even at this moment, he was just a soul body.
But the nine-clawed human-faced bird put the human leg in one claw into the human-faced mouth and chewed it. The thigh immediately turned into light spots and particles dissipated in its mouth. The nine-clawed human-faced bird seemed to be unsatisfied. It screamed again and looked at Pei Jiao. It did not use its claws to tear it, but opened its mouth wide and lowered its head, as if it was planning to eat Pei Jiao alive. This scene really scared Pei Jiao's last consciousness in his heart. At this moment, he was just trembling violently. The only thought in his mind was fear. If he survived, there were memories that kept replaying...
When people say that when they die, the past will be played back one by one, but Pei Jiao died very quickly. The high-voltage current burned into coke. Unexpectedly, there was no memory replay when he died. But after he died, he experienced this scene. He just died of his soul, but he didn't know if it completely disappeared into ashes. Pei Jiao didn't know these. He just kept thinking about the past in his mind, from the hazy time at birth, to the naughty time after growing up, to the doting of his sister after being born, and finally he gradually became steady... The appearance of his parents getting older, the sister calling his name sweetly, and the memory that does not occupy much weight...
All these scenes are returned to Pei Jiao's mind. The more they play back, the less Pei Jiao doesn't want to die. He wants to continue living. He wants to support his parents. He wants to watch his sister grow up. He wants to hold hands with her again. There are too many things he wants to do, and he just dies like this... He is unwilling to accept it! He doesn't want to die!
"No, don't...I don't want to die!"
Pei Jiao looked at the monster bird's giant face getting closer and closer to him, and he could even see the monster bird's terrifying and sharp teeth. When the monster bird opened its mouth and enveloped him, the mouth was only a few inches away from him, all the memories suddenly disappeared, and all thoughts and fears also disappeared. At this moment, the only thought in Pei Jiao's heart was the only word "living" left!
Suddenly, he subconsciously closed his hands and stabbed it into the monster bird's giant beak. In his palms, lightning flashed by, and a beam of lightning several feet long burst out from the hands, shot into its body along the monster bird's giant beak. With a crackling sound, the back of the monster bird's head suddenly burst, blowing its back half of its body to pieces. After eating this severe pain, the monster bird had only had time to close its mouth. With a light sound, the arms that stretched Pei Jiao into its mouth were bitten and broke. Pei Jiao could no longer hold on. He felt that his eyes were dark and he fainted immediately.
In this coma darkness, Pei Jiao felt an indescribable strangeness all over his body. He was clearly hurting his legs and arms, but his whole body seemed to be soaked in a hot spring, as lazy and comfortable as if he was soaked in a hot spring. This contradictory feeling made him feel so uncomfortable. After several struggles, he finally opened his eyes, but he was shocked to death. However, he saw that the big mouth of the strange bird was still facing him. He seemed to be about to bite him, which scared him to sit on the ground and shrink back.
After Pei Jiao retreated for several meters, he realized that the monster bird was dead, and the rest was just a corpse. The monster bird had suffered some serious injuries. Although the front half of his body was still intact, the entire body exploded and broke in the back half. Even a slight intact body could not be found. It had only a shell left.
It was not until this time that Pei Jiao finally settled down a little from shock and fear, but he immediately stood up and looked around, fearing that he would meet another monster again at this moment, but his luck was fine. He could only see the desolate land wherever he saw, and he could not see any abnormality at all. Thinking of this, he turned around and walked a few steps closer to the monster bird, intending to take a closer look at the body structure of the monster bird.
"Huh? Didn't my legs be torn off? And my hands are also..." Pei Jiao took a few steps forward, and he suddenly came to his senses. He remembered that his hands and one leg had been torn off before. Unexpectedly, his hands and one leg were intact at this moment. What surprised him even more was that at this moment, he seemed to be full of strength, like a sportsman who had enough food, drinks and sleeps, and felt that his strength seemed to kill a cow.
Just when Pei Jiao was surprised and inexplicably, countless light spot particles suddenly emerged from the corpse of the strange bird. Once these light spot particles emerged, the corpse of the strange bird disappeared. Obviously, the strange bird was also composed of light spot particles, just like Pei Jiao's soul body at this moment.
Pei Jiao's heart moved, and he immediately thought of a possibility... that is, this world may really be the underworld, underworld, or hell that the dead should go to. Although the names are different, they all refer to the place where people will go after death. However, no matter what, this world obviously conforms to the law of conservation of energy. As for the origin of energy... it is probably these light spot particles. Otherwise, why would this strange bird and those weird wolf attack the human soul body? It is estimated that they just hope to obtain the light spot particles in these soul bodies.
Chapter completed!
