And he had already noticed that the ghosts and gods here were all fake.

But no matter it was the ghosts and gods that just appeared, or the very special 'Otakemaru' in front of him, the word 'source' appeared in their mouths.

And it's just the 'source' of the Sanzu River.

Li Re guessed that it might not be directly related to the Yellow Spring inside this double layer, nor was it exactly related to the core seal of the copy, the "god and Buddha who came across the sea", that is, the "demon" that was killed and sealed here by the ancient silver players who came from other areas of reality.

But maybe it is related to entering the 'core' Huangquan where it is!

And that might be the real crisis of this "Sanzu River" copy on the periphery.

And since these ghosts and gods can communicate.

It couldn't be more convenient to obtain information from him!

"'Source'... That's exactly what I want to say next."

As if Otakemaru suddenly exhaled, the sound continued to come out from his eyes.

He glanced around at the ghosts and gods crawling on the ground and said, "This is the reason why I took the initiative to open the gate of Sanzu River and welcome you in!"

"It is unknown how long the 'Sanzu River' has existed. According to the time concept that we have received from the 'weirdness' of the outside world, it has been at least two thousand years. During these two thousand years, the ghosts and gods in the 'Sanzu River' have come and gone and have never been able to rest. It is precisely because of the existence of that source."

"He is the source of all the weirdness in the Sanzu River."

"It is also the main body of the Sanzu River area."

"Perhaps you have heard of this name..."

"Its name is 'Yaki'."

"Yamata no Orochi?" Li Re's first reaction when hearing this name was various Japanese fantasy works... He had indeed heard of this name, and not only heard of it, but he was also very familiar with it!

But think about it.

Even 'Otakemaru', a demon god revered as the devil in Japanese legends, can only be inferior to it, and its source is no other than 'Yamata no Orochi'.

To say that demon kings like Otakemaru are just freaks.

Then the Yamata no Orochi can definitely be called a genuine ghost or god. In the ancient Japanese mythology, it was a terrifying natural disaster that once ravaged the world, and even the god Susanoo, who symbolized the sea and was in charge of fighting in the mythology, had to use strategy to kill it.

"It's indeed the standard template of a villain boss." Hua Rui said so, but Li Re couldn't help but complain.

He continued, "So, I just arrived at the foot of Mount Fuji, and it was you who opened the passage to the Sanzu River. Now you also want me to help you solve the source of the Sanzu River?"

"I hope so."

Otakemaru said, "But at the same time, this is also your purpose, isn't it?"

"Yaki is the true manifestation of the Sanzu River, a place of derivation and illusion. It is the source of our weird birth. But at the same time, if we want to cross the Sanzu River and reach the 'Yellow Spring' inside, we can only do so by killing Yaki."

In other words.

If Li Re wants to pass through this real copy called 'Sanzu River', he must also deal with the existence called Yaki!

After all, the main plot of the dungeon mission is clearly stated - you need to pass through the outer Sanzuchuan dungeon to enter the 'Yellow Springs' dungeon where the real core of this double dungeon is!

"You know a lot." Li Re said.

"After all, I have lived for a long time." Otakemaru said seriously: "Of course, Yaki's power is extremely terrifying. We ghosts and gods are just the outflow of part of his power... It is not so easy to deal with him."

"But we can help you."

Otakemaru said: "As long as we do it when He is asleep..."

Boom!

His words have not yet fully fallen.

The entire interior of the Sanzu River suddenly began to vibrate, the earth rumbled and shook as if it was about to collapse, and even Li Re's spiritual fires that were still swaying around began to shake violently as if they sensed some extremely terrifying existence approaching!

The dark red sky was showing cracks that were visible to the naked eye.

Amidst the tremors that felt like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, Otakemaru's eyes suddenly changed - and the ghosts and gods crawling on the ground were filled with terror!

"broken!"

The words that Otakemaru had just spoken stopped abruptly, and he turned his head sharply to look at the source of the vibration deep in the Sanzu River with an extremely terrified look in his eyes:

"Yaki is awake."

"He is about to start 'eating'!"

Chapter 449: Escape in the Sanzu River, Going in the Reverse Direction

'Yaki', wake up!

Such words were uttered by Otakemaru with full of horror. Many ghosts and gods in the outer area of ​​the cold and strange ghost and god double copy, Sanzu River, were also frightened at this moment. Those ghosts and gods who were crawling on the ground and looked quite fierce were trembling all over. They did not look as majestic as the Japanese legends. The earth was shaking, and the dark red sky seemed to be cracked into layers of dark ravines. Then Otakemaru suddenly turned around and looked at Li Re who was squinting his eyes in front of him!

“Soul King, it’s too late—”

"Yaki has awakened. We must find a place to hide first to avoid being 'predated' this time!"

His face, with only his eyes, showed obvious anxiety.

But in fact, he didn't need to say it - and even without the trembling looks of the ghosts and gods next to him, Li Re could feel the sudden "crisis"!

He can feel it.

This world.

This 'reality copy' located at the foot of Mount Fuji, connected to reality and covering an area of ​​reality, suddenly 'came to life'!

Yaqi is the manifestation of the essence of the Sanzu River.

Only then did Li Re understand the meaning of the 'ghosts and gods' before him - he understood that the so-called Yamata no Orochi was the manifestation of this outer copy 'Sanzu River' itself!

These bizarre 'ghosts and gods' before our eyes are all derived from part of the power of the Sanzu River.

Therefore, 'Yakita' is their 'source'.

But he remained calm and said calmly:

"interesting."

"Tell me more in detail..." He looked directly at Otakemaru in front of him, and amidst the earthquakes, and the howlings of ghosts and gods in fear, his tone was natural, with a smile on his face.

But facing this gaze, Otakemaru's already trembling body seemed to tremble even more violently!

The threat posed by this 'existence above the gods and ghosts' before him was no less than that posed by 'Yakita'...even this extremely ancient demon king among the gods and ghosts in Japanese legends felt suffocated - even though He had no mouth or nose and did not need to breathe!

The expression of Asamamiya Miko next to her was also solemn, and then became even more solemn. Wearing a laurel crown, a gorgeous feather robe, and a "celestial robe", the shrine maiden was tense all over, and her long dark red hair swayed gently in the sudden strong wind.

She also felt the threat from the 'Sanzu River' in front of her.

She also felt suffocated.

But he did not retreat.

Motionless——

"The smell is getting closer."

The guardian spirit girl grabbed the corner of Li Re's clothes and spoke expressionlessly.

This was the source of the real stench she had been smelling.

Otakemaru looked at the reactions of the two men and the ghost in front of him. In front of them, he and other ghosts seemed like fragile mortals - he could feel their determination even more.

"All right..."

Otakemaru took a deep breath and tried to calm down, suppressing his fear of Yaki and his instinctive fear of the "great existence" in front of him. He said: "I will tell you everything, but time is running out after all-"

"As I said before, the true source of the ghosts and gods that we are born from the long-standing weirdness of the outside world is this Sanzu River. The ghost god 'Yamata no Orochi', which is also an ancient rumor in the outside world, is different from us - He himself is part of the Sanzu River. The Sanzu River relies on the underground dark river to exist, and Yamata is the embodiment of the river and the quagmire."

"But we all came from the Sanzu River and from Yaki, and we will also return to Yaki!"

"So every once in a while, the Yamata no Orochi will hunt us, the 'ghosts and gods' that are derived from the power flowing out of its body and absorbing the weirdness flowing in from the outside world. When it hunts, the entire Sanzu River will run wild with it - until the hunting is over, it will fall into a deep sleep."

"The Yamata no Orochi is dormant most of the time, repeating the cycle of dormancy, hunting, and dormancy again."

"But even so, over the long years, countless ghosts and gods have been preyed upon and disappeared. I have only managed to survive until now by escaping predation dozens of times!"

"Of course, it is because of these dozens of escapes that I have a certain premonition about Yaqi's revival. I have also predicted the time of Yaqi's revival this time, so I will take the initiative to welcome you in, hoping that you can stop his revival this time. But now it seems that my prediction is still not accurate enough, and it is still a little late!" 'Otakemaru' spoke very quickly, but his words were very clear.

In between his words.

The repetition of the shaking of this world began to gradually intensify, as if a body that had been sleeping for a long time began to move, or as if a still heart began to beat again.

The ghosts and gods became more and more frightened, and the white mist that filled the surroundings began to flow rapidly - they wailed and wanted to escape, but the strange spiritual fire that spread around and under Li Re's feet blocked their escape route, causing them to suffer pain and fear, and suffer terribly.

At last, Otakemaru said, "I know you are very strong, but in this Sanzu River, Yamata cannot be killed by ordinary means. Even if it dies, it will be revived soon. In the past, there were beings like you who were "above the gods and ghosts" who entered here, but they were unable to completely kill Yamata. Some even died here in battles with Yamata again and again. The method to kill Yamata Orochi in battle has long been lost."

"Our top priority now is to find a safe place first - to avoid being hunted this time and wait for Yaqi to finish hunting and fall asleep again. That will be the best time to deal with him!"

"Only by finding its true form while it is sleeping, chopping off its eight heads, and burying them in extremely distant areas can we prevent it from being resurrected again in a short period of time, and open the road behind it to the 'Yellow Spring' at the deepest part of the Sanzu River!"

The tone of this ancient 'demon king' was sincere and genuine.

Li Re, who understood His words, also raised his foot - the boundless spiritual fire seemed to have lost its support and was quickly extinguished by the sharp wind that was shaking the sky and the earth. The dark green flames faded like the tide, just like the dye on the canvas being wiped clean.

The 'ghosts and gods' scattered in all directions!

'Otakemaru' stared at Li Re who was raising his foot in front of him, and he glared at him. He was just about to tell him where he could avoid being hunted by 'Yaki'. Li Re was 'invited' by him to come to Sanzu River. In his opinion, such a great being 'above gods and demons' should not die from being hunted.

That would not only make his next plan of "killing" Yaki fail.

It will also make Yaqi even more terrifying because he preys on great beings above gods and ghosts!

It's just what He thought.

He was just about to use his eyes to 'spit out' words of guidance.

But he saw this great being before him, who was above the gods and ghosts, walking forward, facing the violently shaking world of the Sanzu River, and also facing the ghosts and gods who were fleeing in fear in the rapidly flowing pale ghost fog!

Advance instead of retreat——

'Otakemaru' widened the only eyes on his face!

Boom!

The world became more and more intense with such sounds. Li Re, who came to life from Sanzuchuan, thought that this was indeed the real crisis of the outer copy of this ghost-like double copy - he wanted to reach the real core through this copy that covered a part of reality!

Just as 'Otakemaru' said, he could also feel the horror of the 'Yakita' he mentioned.

But so what?

"There is nothing in this world that can hold me back."

"Not even death!"

Or in other words - 'death' can only attract him!

Boom!

The heaven and earth roared and shook again, and the dark ravine that appeared above the dark red sky began to meander and flow. It was obviously not a real ravine, but a huge shadow reflected in the sky.

Yes, the huge shadow reflected in the sky - its true form is on the ground! In front of them, between the endless and desolate land!

"coming--"

"Quick, hide in the 'Ama-Iwa-do'!"

"No, it's too late!"

"Yaki, Yaki, here we come!"

The sound of fear echoed everywhere, and the sound of ferocious ghosts and gods that was enough to scare countless ordinary people and even countless players became more and more obvious in the outside world. Those who escaped later in the disturbance of the white fog fell directly into the shadow of the shaking and collapsing ground. At the end of Li Re's sight as he walked slowly forward, there appeared a flowing black liquid!

Like flowing water, but more like a quagmire.

Those ghosts and gods were trapped in it and unable to move, but they were not drowned immediately. Instead, they wailed and sank, and were swallowed up bit by bit - a faint sound of something chewing delicately could be heard from beneath the black liquid!

The earth was still shaking violently at this moment.

The pitch-black liquid gradually approached the sight, and visibly submerged large tracts of desolate land, as if it was going to swallow up the entire Sanzu River.

The shaking became more and more intense - as if something was hiding in the darkness, shaking the entire 'Sanzu River'!

But Li Re is not the only one taking steps forward.

There was also the Asamamiya Goddess wearing the gorgeous Heavenly Feather Robe... This Japanese goddess, wearing the prop "suit" given by "Kokohana Yeji", who was both an ancient god and an ancient player, was stunned for a moment before she calmed down and walked quickly to Li Re's side. She also stared at the darkness that was constantly expanding in her sight and said in a deep voice:

"This black mud is the water of the 'Sanzu River'."

"Yaki is hidden under these rivers!" Although this is a copy, it is still in reality, under Mount Fuji - so she can still feel the general situation here while wearing the Heavenly Feather Robe.
