Chapter 1138 – Hell Origin

　　Amidst the silence, a flash of black aura flashed from Shen Qingzhu’s chest.

　　A faint dao halo swirled out from his body, and a mysterious and supreme aura surged within the cave, Lin Qiye and An Qingyu froze at the same time and subconsciously took a few steps back.

　　Plop–!

　　Plop–!

　　Within the silent cave, the heavy heartbeat sounded once again, a touch of dao halo colored his entire body from Shen Qingzhu’s chest, the nearly dried blood flowed again, and the already cold half broken palm began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　His vitality, reviving.

　　”What is this situation?” The redness in Lin Qiye’s eyes had yet to fade, and he asked in disbelief.

　　”That jade pendant is reorganizing Brother Tug’s body for him.” An Qingyu’s eyes gradually brightened, “He’s coming back to life!”

　　With the stirring of the dao halo, Shen Qingzhu’s body finally regained its integrity, his pale skin resurfaced with blood color, those tightly closed eyelashes lightly trembled and slowly opened his eyes.

　　Shen Qingzhu, who had been resurrected from the dead, stared blankly at the two people in front of him for a moment before returning to his senses.

　　”It’s you guys?”

　　”Brother Tug!” Lin Qiye flew forward and held Shen Qingzhu’s shoulders with both hands, his spiritual power quickly swept through his body, after confirming that there were no more wounds, his face was filled with excitement and joy, “You’re okay?”

　　Shen Qingzhu dazedly lowered his head and looked at his already healed palm.

　　”I just ……”

　　”You just died.” An Qingyu added, “I confirmed that there shouldn’t be any life left in your body for that to happen.”

　　Shen Qingzhu looked like he remembered something, reaching out and pulling out a black jade pendant from his pocket and placing it between his palms, his expression complex.

　　”Before leaving the Heavenly Court, Fatty gave me a jade pendant, saying that it was able to bring people back from the dead …… Thanks to this thing, I was able to come back to life.”

　　”A treasure that can bring people back from the dead?” Lin Qiye spoke in confusion, “When did he have this kind of thing?”

　　”I don’t know.” Shen Qingzhu looked at the jade pendant and smiled bitterly, “It seems that I owe this little fatty another life.”

　　Shen Qingzhu stood up from the ground and simply moved his body, all the injuries on his body had disappeared, not much different from before he was injured, and he moved very lightly.

　　”Brother Tug, what exactly happened after we left?”

　　Lin Qiye opened his mouth and asked.

　　Shen Qingzhu was silent for a moment and let out a long sigh, “After you guys left, the exploration ship drifted with the waves in the sea, and then I heard two loud bangs in the sky, and then the trajectory of the ocean currents around me shifted, and when I reflected on it, the ship as well as drove into the middle of a narrow river.

　　I was planning to find a place to turn the boat around and get out, but I didn’t expect that a giant python suddenly swam out from the blood-colored current, shattering the boat’s keel and biting through my body, carrying me in its mouth as it swam through the peaks of the mountains.

　　After fighting to the death, I killed the python, but my body was too injured, plus there were still those monsters with black wings hovering in the sky, so I could only temporarily find a cave to hide, and after I leaned here, I slowly lost consciousness …… when I woke up, I saw you guys.”

　　Sure enough, he came here by following the gap in hell …… Lin Qiye nodded.

　　”Tugger, where is the shipwreck?” An Qingyu asked solemnly.

　　Shen Qingzhu pondered for a moment and pointed in a direction, “I’ve been carried by the python and swam through many peaks, so I can’t remember the exact location very well, but it’s roughly in this direction, and it should be more than a dozen kilometers away.”

　　”What about that gap?”

　　”It’s also near there.”

　　Lin Qiye nodded, “Good, then let’s go directly to rescue Jiang’er and then directly follow the gap out of here.”

　　Lin Qiye stood at the edge of the cave and glanced out.

　　”There are a lot of demons out there, I’ll go in front, Drag Brother …….”

　　Lin Qiye paused, “Brother Tug will go in the center, Qingyu will sit at the end, once anything is discovered, inform me in time.”

　　For this formation of three people advancing in a single file, the person at the front takes the biggest risk, followed by the person adorned at the end, the more in the middle, the safer it is.

　　In the past, the person at the end of the team has always been Shen Qingzhu, but now the situation is special, An Qingyu’s original here is only an alter ego, and even if any accidents happen by him at the end of the line, it won’t jeopardize his life, and he is the most suitable candidate for the end of the line.

　　Comparatively speaking, Shen Qingzhu is more prone to injury, it is reasonable for him to walk in the middle, Lin Qiye knew that doing so might increase the feeling of powerlessness in Shen Qingzhu’s heart, but now is no longer the time to care about this.

　　He had just witnessed Shen Qingzhu’s death, and as the captain, he must not let Shen Qingzhu take another risk.

　　The feeling of losing a teammate was not something he wanted to experience a second time.

　　Hearing Lin Qiye’s arrangement, Shen Qingzhu’s body gave a slight lurch, and after nodding in silence, he quietly obeyed the order to walk in the very center, closely following Lin Qiye.

　　”Do you guys feel that the ash under seems to have gotten less?” An Qingyu spoke thoughtfully as she observed the sky through the air barrier propped up by Shen Qingzhu.

　　”Maybe it’s coming to an end, after all, these ashes are definitely not endless, otherwise if it rains like this every day in a different place, I’m afraid that the entire Earth will fall.”

　　”Also ……”

　　Since the three of them were aiming for a larger target, Lin Qiye walked more carefully this time, and it took them nearly half an hour to cover half of the path.

　　However, as they went deeper, the mysterious area in the depths of hell that emanated a reddish aura gradually came into the trio’s view.

　　The three of them looked through the gaps in the mountain peaks towards the very core of the area, only to see a lake-sized blood pool that was lying quietly between the surrounding rolling mountain peaks, and those ashes that fell into the blood pool were quickly swallowed up, as if they had never appeared before.

　　And in the center of the blood pool, a black crystal-like fragment was floating and sinking.

　　Countless blood filaments extended out from the blood pool and climbed on the surface of the black crystal, writhing like blood vessels, and hundreds of demons hovered above the blood pool, as if it was a black, dark cloud.

　　The moment Shen Qingzhu and An Qingyu saw the black crystal, their gazes felt like they were sucked in, unable to move away at all.

　　An unprecedented longing surged through their hearts.

　　A pair of palms slapped on the back of both of their necks at the same time before they came back to their senses as if they were waking up from a big dream, and at some point, their backs were already drenched in cold sweat.

　　”What is that thing?” An Qingyu deliberately locked her gaze on the edge of the black crystal, observing it with her afterglow, and asked in disbelief.

　　”That’s the origin.” Lin Qiye gazed at the black crystal and slowly spoke.

　　”The …… origin of hell.”
