Chapter 1011 Mountain of Corpses
No matter how long a gap is, it will eventually come to an end. Although Song Jiang and his companions have not yet walked out, they can already feel waves of heat coming from the front. Although they don't know how high the temperature outside is now, looking at the stone wall next to them that has gradually changed color, they know that the temperature here must be very high... If it weren't for the fire-proof beads on their bodies, it is estimated that even the sweat hairs on their skin would have been burned off by now.

Song Jiang had thought that hell was terrible, but he still underestimated how terrible it was. As soon as the two of them walked out of the gap, they were shocked by the dark red sky in front of them. Then, gusts of hot wind carried sand and gravel, making it impossible for them to open their eyes. Finally, Gu Hao found a stone sheltered from the wind and folded two pairs of goggles with yellow paper. Only then could he barely see the scenery in front of him...

"This is the Avici Hell..." Gu Hao was also completely shocked by the world before his eyes. Although he knew a lot about the underworld, his knowledge of the Avici Hell was only at the level of rumors and theories. After all, no ghost that entered would have a chance to get out.

Because of the blessing of the fire-proof beads, Song Jiang and his companions could only feel the rolling heat waves around them and the discomfort caused by inhaling hot air into their lungs. However, the world before them was barren, which showed that the environment here was a hundred times worse than they had imagined. The two of them were safe now only because of the help of Master Jiu, otherwise it was almost certain that they would have been burned by the high temperature as soon as they came in.

Facing such an empty and desolate world, Gu Hao didn't know which direction to go for a moment, so he looked at Song Jiang and said, "Now we have come in, but the space here is very large. Do you have a specific direction to look for...?"

Unexpectedly, Song Jiang shook his head and said, "Not yet... but I have eaten the Black Tortoise Relics before, and I will feel it as long as I get close to the boulder."

Gu Hao was somewhat speechless after hearing this. After all, this space was boundless. They couldn't just wander around aimlessly, right? But Song Jiang had already said so. There was no other good solution at the moment. They could only take it one step at a time. So the two of them moved forward little by little against the strong wind...

As a result, they had not walked far when the wind stopped without warning. At the same time, the gravel under their feet was shaking slightly, and then the shrill screams they had heard outside the gap before rang out again... This time, because they were in it, the two of them could hear it more clearly and more harshly. Song Jiang even covered his ears with his hands because he couldn't stand it.

Compared with Song Jiang, Gu Hao was much calmer. He was seen holding the machete tightly in his hand and looking around vigilantly, but he was not sure where the sound came from. After all, this place was too empty, and if there was anything there he should be able to see it at a glance. However, he estimated that there was almost nothing within a few kilometers around him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the vibration under his feet became stronger and stronger. Song Jiang lost his balance and almost fell down. Fortunately, Gu Hao quickly grabbed him and dragged him forward, not daring to stay there for a second. Although Song Jiang didn't know what happened, he felt that danger was slowly approaching them, so he followed Gu Hao and ran forward without any hesitation.

It was not until the vibrations from deep underground slowly stopped that they dared to slow down and look back. As a result, they saw a large sunken sand pit where they had been standing before. At this time, there seemed to be a huge, white thing crawling out of the sand pit little by little... Neither Song Jiang nor Gu Hao had ever seen such a large creature. From a distance, it looked like a big dough without a head or a tail... Therefore, curiosity prevailed in their hearts, and the two stopped to see what it was. Judging from its size, the thing was estimated to be at least ten meters tall, but it was lying limply in the sand pit.

When Song Jiang saw this, he asked in a low voice, "Is that... a giant octopus?"

Gu Hao laughed and said, "What kind of octopus have you ever seen crawling out of the soil?!"

Song Jiang thought so too, and said in confusion, "But if it's not an octopus... then what else could it be?"

Unexpectedly, just as the two were stunned, the huge mollusk quickly came out of the sand pit and crawled towards them close to the ground. When it was more than ten meters away from them, they finally saw the true appearance of the thing... Only then did Song Jiang realize that they still couldn't face up to where they were now. After all, how could there be such a cute creature as a giant octopus in this ghost place? !
They saw that the huge, white object was actually a disgusting thing made up of countless human torsos, limbs and hands fused together. It was like a super large, flowing non-Newtonian fluid. It seemed to be moving slowly, but it was actually approaching Song Jiang and the other two very quickly... The shrill and piercing howls came from the countless human faces in that mass of thing. The expressions on those faces made Song Jiang and Gu Hao unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

Song Jiang was so frightened that he stood there motionless. Finally, Gu Hao dragged him to run in another direction. Otherwise, they would have been swept into the huge pile of corpses and become part of it. But the thing seemed to move slowly, but it seemed to be tirelessly approaching them at a constant speed, so it was almost difficult to get rid of it... Moreover, Song Jiang and Gu Hao had limited physical strength. If they continued to run like this, they would be exhausted sooner or later, and then they would really have no choice but to wait for death.

Thinking of this, Gu Hao grabbed Song Jiang, who was already out of breath, and quickly brought him to a half-slope, then said, "Stand here!"

After hearing this, Song Jiang sat down on the ground, panting. Of course, he couldn't run any more. If he continued to run like this, even if he wasn't eaten by that disgusting thing, he would die suddenly due to cardiac overload. After settling Song Jiang, Gu Hao immediately ran in another direction. At this time, the huge pile of corpses just came to the bottom of the slope. Seeing that the two of them had actually parted ways, they stood still for a while, as if they didn't know which one to chase...

Gu Hao took the opportunity to take out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, and folded it into the shape of a bronze sword in a few seconds. Then he bit his middle finger hard and drew blood on it. Then the bronze sword folded out of paper instantly grew bigger and harder, becoming a real bronze sword!
