Chapter 1013 Get into the frying pan

Song Jiang really didn't want to have such a disgusting thing imprinted in his mind forever, so he quickly looked around for the direction he came from, taking the opportunity to divert his attention. However, he found that the two of them had just run around to avoid the monster, and now they had no idea which way was which... Of course, they didn't know the directions before, but at least they knew the way they came from. Now they couldn't even figure out the direction of the way they came from.

Unexpectedly, when Song Jiang was worried, he suddenly felt his chest tighten, and he immediately realized that the basalt stone should be nearby... So he helped Gu Hao walk in the direction of the sensation. At that time, Song Jiang thought that they should be able to find the basalt stone soon, but before he could be happy, he was shocked by the cliff in front of him.

The cliff in front of them was not actually very deep, and the bottom of the cliff was only about five or six stories high. But the problem was that there was a blood-red lake with churning water below the cliff, which made Song Jiang and Gu Hao both feel frightened...and the reason why the blood-red lake was churning was because it was a lake of boiling blood. As the water churned, countless ghosts floated up from the water and sank again.

Song Jiang was a little surprised and said, "Wouldn't blood solidify into blood tofu when it encounters high temperature? How could it still be in this liquid state?"

Gu Hao snorted and said, "You are really careless. You still think of blood tofu at this time? That's not blood... it should be oil."

"Put it in an oil pan?! Isn't this pan a bit too big?" Song Jiang said in shock.

Unexpectedly, just as the two of them were shocked by the horrific scene before them, they heard a sudden wailing sound like a tsunami from below... Song Jiang looked down and saw a group of ghosts by the lake driving countless ghosts into an oil pan as big as the lake. Although those ghosts were reluctant, their bodies jumped down one after another as if they were out of control.

In the end, in order to save trouble, the ghosts pushed down dozens by dozens. At first glance, it looked like meatballs being put into a boiling oil pan... The ghosts became physical here, and a layer of blisters appeared the moment their skin touched the boiling hot oil. They quickly became burnt, and finally fell off in whole pieces. Song Jiang could not bear to watch it.

Gu Hao saw the reluctance in Song Jiang's heart, and said in a deep voice, "Those who can come here are all extremely treacherous and evil. Ordinary minor evils don't have the qualifications to come here, so there is nothing to pity about them..."

Although Song Jiang knew that what Gu Hao said was true, he still couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he turned around and said to Gu Hao, "I feel that the basalt boulder is behind the oil lake... The problem is how can we get there now? What if the underworld sees us and throws us into the oil pan and fries us?!"

Gu Hao nodded after hearing this, then looked towards the oil lake below the cliff and said thoughtfully, "This is really a problem, let me think about it..."

Song Jiang suddenly thought of the small paper boat, so he asked, "Can the paper boat that took us across the Wangchuan River take us across the Oil Lake?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Hao shook his head and said, "It is impossible to cross the lake directly by paper boat. Even if there is no ghost to stop, those extremely painful ghosts will drag the boat directly to the bottom of the lake..." Song Jiang thought so too. They were said to be not good people in their lifetime, so naturally they would not be kind enough to help them cross the lake. But how can they cross this "oil pot" that is the same size as the lake? Thinking of this, Song Jiang looked at both sides of the oil lake, trying to find a detour path. As a result, all he could see was the rolling lake surface, and there was no detour path.

Seeing this, Gu Hao said in a deep voice, "Don't look for it... If there really is a small path, would those ghosts be desperate enough to jump into the boiling hot oil?! There is no way to go around it, and there is no way to cross the lake. The only way out now is to fly over it from the sky."

Song Jiang laughed and said, "Didn't you say before that you can't fly a plane in the underworld? How come you can do it now?!"

Gu Hao snorted and said, "Plane is not the only thing that can fly in this world..." He turned around and walked back. Song Jiang chased after him with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Besides airplanes, what else can take us there?!"

Gu Hao said to him as they walked, "Of course it's the flying monsters here. Only the flying monsters here won't attract the attention of the Yincha below..."

Song Jiang felt that this was not a very reliable idea. Regardless of whether it could fly or not, the other party must be a monster! If it was a monster, it would be lucky if it didn't eat them. How could it possibly carry them across the oil lake? So he shook his head and said, "Isn't this a bit too risky? If we get thrown off in the middle of the flight... then we will immediately become fried meatballs."

Gu Hao smiled nonchalantly and said, "Let's give it a try...what if?"

Afterwards, the two of them wandered around near the cliff, but luck would never work in the underworld, so Gu Hao untied the tourniquet on his wrist. When Song Jiang saw it, he hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?! I finally managed to stop the bleeding!"

Gu Hao didn't answer him, but squeezed some fresh blood onto the bandage, then waved it in the wind, as if he wanted to let the bloody smell drift further. Then he found a stone and pressed it to the ground to prevent it from being blown away by the wind...

After doing all this, Gu Hao said to Song Jiang mysteriously, "In this place, human blood is extremely valuable. Wait and see what will be attracted in a while."

Sure enough, not long after, some discordant sounds came from the sky, like a broken trumpet with a leak, making endless creaking sounds. Song Jiang and the others looked up and saw a large black bird circling in the sky above. It was obviously attracted by the blood-stained bandage...

Song Jiang put his hands on his head and took a closer look, trying to figure out what kind of strange bird it was. However, because it was flying too high and the sky was dark red, he could only barely see its general outline... As soon as Gu Hao saw it, he told him not to waste his energy, because he would know after he landed.
As soon as Gu Hao finished speaking, a huge strange bird fell heavily from above and hit the stone that was pressing down the bloody bandage. Only then did the two of them see the thing clearly. It turned out to be a large vulture with two heads, exuding an indescribable smell of corruption. It was as big as a small car! There were only a few stray hairs left on its body, and the white bones were directly exposed under its ribs.
