Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"What a weird place!" Inside the ruins, Mo Juren looked around at the darkness and couldn't help but frown.

The light gate obviously had the function of teleportation, but it was random. I didn't know whether my luck was good or bad, but I was actually teleported to an underground cave.

There was not a trace of light, and the spiritual energy was even weaker, and there seemed to be some strange evil spirit mixed in it.

This was obviously not a good place. It was completely different from the ancient ruins he had imagined with medicinal herbs everywhere and birds singing and flowers blooming. Instead, it looked more like a terrifying den of ghosts that could devour anyone at any time.

With a wave of his hand, rays of spiritual light were released, and suddenly there was a bright light, and everything nearby became bright in an instant.

Only then did he see that this was actually a naturally formed underground cave. Not far away there was an underground river, and above the underground river, there were countless huge stalagmites hanging upside down at the top of the cave.

"Something is not right!" Mo Juren sighed, but he did not think about it any further. Instead, he released his spiritual sense and instantly knew the situation of the entire underground cave.

As if he had sensed something unusual, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned into a ray of rainbow light and shot away. In just a moment, he had reached another part of the cave.

At this time, he had already stopped and looked towards the front, where there was a vast open space, and in the center of the open space there was an ancient well that was more than ten feet in size.

Not only that, blood-red iron chains extend from the wellhead, connecting nine different locations. At each location stands a black stone pillar with mysterious patterns engraved on the surface.

Compared with other areas, the evil aura around the ancient well is more intense, directly forming a large area of ​​black fog, covering all nearby areas.

"This should be the source, but what exactly is it?" Mo Juren frowned, feeling a little regretful. If Zi Dian could come in together, perhaps he could answer some of the questions.

Unfortunately, this site has restrictions and creatures above the Void Refinement Realm cannot enter, so before stepping into the light gate, the other party had already hidden underground.

He walked slowly towards the ancient well and did not encounter any obstacles on the way. As for the thick evil aura, it disappeared directly in the face of the evil-breaking divine light and would not have the slightest effect on him.

When he walked near the nine stone pillars, and even stepped directly into them, there was still nothing unusual.

So, he did not stop, but went straight to the wellhead. A golden light shot out from between his eyebrows, instantly purifying all the evil spirits nearby.

So he leaned forward and observed the situation in the well.

However, at this moment, a shrill howl suddenly came from the bottom of the well. It was very faint, as if it was there and not there. If it were not for his strong hearing, he might not have been able to hear it.

Mo Juren's eyes narrowed slightly. The voice was obviously not from a human, but rather from some kind of monster. And judging from the surrounding layout, it seemed as if it was sealed at the bottom of a well.

He was naturally very curious and wanted to go in and find out what was going on. However, out of caution, he decided not to take too many risks.

Thinking of this, he immediately shook the spirit beast ring, and suddenly a blood light emerged. It was the golden crab that he had captured in the Cangyuan River before.

Considering that the other party possessed mutated blood and had great potential in the future, he gave up the idea of ​​selling him at the beginning.

Along the way, he had trained it from time to time, and now it had completely surrendered.

"Master, where is this?" As soon as the golden-armored crab appeared, it immediately felt the difference in the surrounding environment and asked in a voice transmission.

"This is a secret place. As for the specific situation, I just came in and don't know much about it..." Mo Juren briefly explained and continued,

"There seems to be some kind of monster suppressed in this well. Please go down there for me."

"Master, please don't..." The situation here was not simple at first glance. The golden-armored crab was already a little scared, and when he heard that he was asked to go deep into the well, he immediately panicked.

"I'm not asking you to fight for your life or death. You just need to go down into the well to check the situation. If you find anything wrong, return immediately. What do you have to worry about? Besides, I'm here. Just go down and I'll support you." Mo Juren "encouraged" him, but the golden crab was completely speechless after hearing this.

If there is no danger, why don't you just go down? What's the point of holding back? It's all nonsense. If something unexpected happens, will you be able to rescue them in time?

Of course, even though I complain, I am still very clear about my current situation.

Now it has become the other party's spiritual beast, and its life and death are all in the other party's hands. So it should have self-knowledge. It's better to be cannon fodder than to make the other party angry. What if he tortures it in the future? Or kill it directly, then it's finished.

"In that case, I will go!" After figuring it out, the golden crab no longer hesitated and nodded immediately.

"Very good!" Mo Juren was very satisfied. Suddenly, golden light shot out from his brows, and a layer of golden light armor was condensed directly on the opponent's body. He continued,

"The evil spirit in the well is dense. With this light armor as protection, there will naturally be no problem. However, the divine light energy condensed in this armor is not much. It can only last for about an hour, so you have to be careful with your time."

"Master, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Looking at the armor on the surface of its body, the crab felt a little warmed in the heart. It seemed that it was not really going to take a pure risk.

As soon as it finished speaking, it turned into a streak of blood and flew into the ancient well.

Time passed quickly, and half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye, but the golden-armored crab still hadn't returned. This made Mo Juren, who was waiting outside, frown slightly.

It's been so long and he still hasn't come back. Could he really be in trouble?

Fortunately, through the sensing of the prohibition left in the other party's soul, there should be no danger to his life, but why has he not returned yet?

While he was thinking, the other party finally responded. A voice asking for help sounded in his mind. After hearing the content, Mo Juren's face suddenly changed slightly.

The next moment, he flashed and jumped into the well.

The depth of the ancient well was far beyond his expectations. Although he was falling freely, it took him about a quarter of an hour to reach the bottom, and the same was true for the nine iron chains.

Moreover, the further down you go, the wider the ancient well becomes, until at the very bottom, its diameter is several hundred feet long.

This is already very vast, and what surprised Mo Juren even more is that there is a huge stone pool built in the very center of the bottom of the well. The pool is filled with some kind of black liquid, which continuously releases evil energy.

There was some kind of mysterious formation around the stone pond, and inside the formation, a giant green python was coiled in the water. The nine chains ignored the light curtain and went straight into the formation, passing through different parts of the giant python's body at the same time, locking it tightly. The scene was extremely miserable.

The giant green python had already awakened at this moment, and its pair of vertical pupils were blood red. The moment it noticed Mo Juren, murderous intent suddenly burst out of its eyes.

He roared continuously, and the evil spirit around him was actually controlled by him, turning into strange chains that swept towards where Mo Juren was.

"Master, be careful, that chain is weird, and seems to have some kind of curse power!" In another part of the stone pond, the golden-armored crab had already been completely tied up by a similar chain, unable to move at all.

"Really?" Mo Juren was a little surprised, but he was not panicked at all. There were thousands of golden lights between his eyebrows. Not only the attacking chains, but almost all the evil spirits within hundreds of feet at the bottom of the well were cleared away.

The golden-armored crab finally broke free from the chains and immediately flew eagerly to Mo Juren's side. At this time, the giant green python in the pool stopped roaring and became calm. Its eyes, which had originally been blood red and seemed completely crazy, suddenly regained clarity.

"Thank...thank you very much for your timely action, which allowed me to get rid of the influence of this 'Witch Blood Evil' and temporarily regain consciousness!" The giant green python suddenly spoke, without any of the brutality just now, and his attitude was extremely sincere.

"Witch Blood Evil?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. There were countless evil spirits in the world and their types were also varied, but this kind of witch blood evil was the first time he had heard of it.

"The so-called witch blood evil is essentially still a kind of evil spirit, but this evil spirit can not only corrode the mind, but also carries a certain curse power, which is extremely strange and terrifying." The green giant python was obviously quite intelligent, and took the initiative to explain without waiting for the other party to ask.

"That's my situation. I've been eroded by this witch blood evil for countless years, and my mind has long been lost. If it weren't for the special method you just used, which caused a certain correlation and influence, I don't know when I would be able to regain consciousness."

"So that's it." Mo Juren suddenly understood and asked,

"Sir, could you please tell me about your origins? What happened and why are you trapped here?"

"Even if you don't ask, I will still explain it one by one. First of all, my origin. I was originally the spirit of the earth vein in Qihuang Mountain. In the past, in order to deal with a powerful enemy, the Qihuang Sect divided me into nine parts and suppressed them in different positions, using this to set up a super killing formation..."

Following the explanation of the giant blue python, Mo Juren finally figured out the whole story.

It turns out that the opponent was not a monster, but a spirit of an earth vein that was born by chance in Mount Qihuang. It even transformed the virtual into the real and cultivated a spiritual body. It was precisely because of the existence of the opponent that Mount Qihuang once prospered.

In a sense, the spirit of the earth veins can be said to have "nourishment" for the Qihuang Sect, nourishing the entire underground spirit veins and benefiting the sect's disciples from generation to generation.

However, what was unexpected was that in order to deal with a powerful enemy, he completely disregarded past kindness and made a fatal move against the spirit of the earth vein, dividing it into nine parts and setting up the legendary witch killing formation.

The final result was unexpected. The enemy was so powerful that he blew himself up at the last moment and died together with the entire Qihuang Sect's top leaders.

From then on, the Qihuang Sect completely declined. The top leaders were all killed, the underground spiritual veins also collapsed, and those lower-level disciples who had luckily survived naturally dispersed.

As for the earth spirit in front of him, it was even more miserable because all the high-level leaders of the Qihuang Sect had died in the battle and therefore it was directly forgotten.

The Qihuang Sect's actions were blatant ingratitude, and coupled with the fact that they had been trapped deep underground for more than 100,000 years, naturally made the other party feel extremely hateful.

"There is such a past. The Qihuang Sect is so ungrateful that it deserves to be destroyed!" Mo Juren's eyes flashed, and then he echoed the other party.

As expected, upon hearing this, the giant blue python's eyes instantly burst into excitement, as if it had met a soulmate. It nodded its head fiercely and said angrily:

"Yes, they really deserve to die!"

"The past is gone, and everything has disappeared. You don't need to worry too much about it. Instead, you should think more about yourself now. It is right to free yourself as soon as possible and return to the mountains to live freely in the future." Mo Juren smiled slightly and advised sincerely.

This touched the other party's heart, and the blue giant python immediately asked impatiently:

"Can you...can you rescue me?"

"Of course I am willing, but..." Mo Juren narrowed his eyes and did not continue. Upon hearing this, the blue giant python instantly understood something and his heart sank.

"I thought you would be different, but I didn't expect you would be the same."

"Everything in the world has cause and effect. You and I just met by chance. There is no grudge or entanglement. Saving or not saving is also my duty. Why should Mo help you for nothing?"

Mo Juren was determined to get the best out of his thoughts, no longer hiding his true intentions. After all, now that he had encountered such a precious treasure as the Earth Spirit, how could he possibly give it up?

With this thing, I can build a holy place for cultivation in the future. The temptation is too great.

"You were once plotted against by the Qihuang Sect, so you have endless resentment in your heart, but this does not mean that all people are bad. Following Mo may not be a bad choice."

"The human race has always been cunning and deceitful. People like you who are obsessed with profit are not much better. Why should I believe that one day in the future, you will not sell me out again for greater benefits?"

"Mo admits that I am not a good person, but I still have a basic bottom line. I will never do such a thing as repaying kindness with enmity. If you don't believe me, I can swear to the heavens."

Mo Juren said this, and without waiting for the other party's consent, he started to act directly and swore a poisonous oath to the Heaven.

In fact, such an oath is meaningless. Be it repaying kindness with enmity or betraying his own people, he would never do these bad things, even when facing a life-and-death crisis.

However, to the ears of the giant blue python, it was a completely different story. In order to reassure it, the other party actually made such a solemn oath, which showed that he was really sincere.

In this case, it seems that following the other party is not a bad idea.

If it can escape from the predicament, not to mention the life-saving grace, there is another point it must consider, which is the issue of safety.

As a spirit of the earth veins, it knows its own value too well. The so-called freedom does not exist at all, and one day it will be captured by others.

In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. As the spirit of the earth veins, it has no control over its own destiny.

But then again, the person in front of me doesn't seem to be a strong man, at least compared to the former Qihuang Sect, he is not even a little bit worse. Is it reliable to follow him? (End of this chapter)
