Chapter 1754 - 1751: Yee Mengtan
After just a few exchanges, Li Chen slaughtered all the undead in front of him.
Just as he was about to leave and continue deeper, he suddenly noticed a black vortex forming ahead.
Immediately, a very eerie voice emanated from the black vortex.
"Who are you, and how did you come here?"
Accompanying this eerie voice, a figure formed from the black seawater drifted out like a phantom.
Seeing this figure, Li Chen’s heart couldn’t help but shudder.
This is a Spiritual Body!
A Spiritual Body is innately a soul body, without a physical form, and can never have one.
This is different from an Undead Body.
An Undead Body has a physical form, but this physical form is destroyed, forcing it to exist as a Soul Body.
All ghosts belong to the Undead Body!
Living beings born as Innate Spiritual Bodies are incredibly rare.
Since his resurrection, including the one before him, Li Chen had only seen two.
The first is his cheap daughter, Strangulation.
Li Chen glanced at the Spiritual Body and said, "I came here accidentally, who are you?"
The Spiritual Body replied, "I am the dream of a Dark Field Mouse!"
Li Chen was surprised at the words: "The dream of a Dark Field Mouse?"
The Spiritual Body nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I am the dream of a Dark Field Mouse!"
Li Chen froze for a moment, suddenly thinking of something, he immediately exclaimed.
"Your main body is the Dream Pond?"
The Spiritual Body was quite surprised that Li Chen saw through its main body so easily.
"Yes, my main body is the Dream Pond. To be precise, it is the dream formed by the obsessions of billions of field mice in this Sea of Darkness!"
As those Dark Field Mice pursued the dream of embracing the light, like moths to a flame, they rushed into the embrace of the Death God.
At the moment their souls were scattered and obliterated, there was a certain chance their obsession would survive.
Over time, such obsessions accumulated until they formed a Dream Pond.
As long as the Sea of Darkness exists, and the Dark Field Mice remain unchanged, he possesses an Undying Body.
It can be said that within this Sea of Darkness, the Spiritual Body before us is indeed an invincible existence.
Even Li Chen, with all his hidden cards revealed, was likely not a match for it.
However, Li Chen possessed the Meteorite Heart card, making it not so easy for this Spiritual Body to deal with him.
Seeing Li Chen fall silent, the Spiritual Body suddenly said, "I was born in the night, as the Dream Pond of the Dark Field Mouse. So, I gave myself a name, Yee Mengtan, you may call me by this name!"
Hearing the words of the Spiritual Body, Li Chen understood it was showing goodwill.
After all, there was no deep-seated grudge between them, no need to fight to the death.
Li Chen nodded and replied, "I am Li Chen, perhaps I can help you!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Yee Mengtan couldn’t help but pause.
"You can help me? How can you help me?"
Li Chen pondered for a moment and said, "That’s my business!"
Yee Mengtan asked, "Then what is my business?"
Li Chen replied, "Just cooperate with me!"
Yee Mengtan stared at Li Chen for a long time and said, "You have many secrets, I feel I can trust you this time!"
Li Chen smiled and said, "Trust me, there’s nothing wrong!"
Seeing Li Chen smile, Yee Mengtan also smiled gently.
"What do I need to do next?"
Li Chen pointed at the swarm of Dark Field Mice and said, "Take me to see where they were born!"
Yee Mengtan glanced at the Dark Field Mice and said seriously, "That place is very dangerous!"
Li Chen gave a calm smile and replied, "Do you think I would fear danger?"
Yee Mengtan first paused, seeing that Li Chen was not joking, he said, "Very well, come with me then!"
After finishing speaking, he transformed into a black wave and disappeared from Li Chen’s sight.
Seeing this, Li Chen did not hesitate and quickly followed.
In this dark seabed, after an indeterminate amount of time, they finally arrived at a swirling vortex.
Dark Field Mice could be seen continuously being expelled from this vortex.
Yee Mengtan pointed at the swirling vortex and said, "This is where Dark Field Mice are born, the core region of the Sea of Darkness!"
Upon hearing Yee Mengtan’s words, Li Chen nodded in realization.
Then, he released his Divine Sense to probe this dark vortex.
Li Chen’s Divine Sense had just gone out when it was like encountering an ancient plague, devoured on the spot.
Immediately after, Li Chen felt himself in a mysterious and wondrous world.
This world was deathly quiet!
Li Chen cautiously ventured deeper and suddenly saw a stele.
Upon it, written as if with dragons and snakes, were three large characters: Soul Suppressing Stele!
Beyond the stele, looking ahead, was a Netherworld Road.
On the Netherworld Road stood a bridge, named Dead Bridge.
Below Dead Bridge flowed the Nether River, teeming with countless wronged souls.
On the banks of the Nether River, flowers blossomed vividly and exquisitely in the wind.
This was the Other Shore Flower!
Realizing these things, a location instantly surfaced in Li Chen’s mind.
Nine Netherworld Hell!
Li Chen stood in place for a moment then directly stepped over the Soul Suppressing Stele.
As his front foot passed over the Soul Suppressing Stele, sounds of ghostly wailing reached his ears.
Soon, he saw innumerable undead rushing along the Netherworld Road, racing toward the other side of Dead Bridge.
Li Chen, bewildered, followed this undead tide toward Dead Bridge.
Once on Dead Bridge, there was more intense activity from ahead.
The undead who had just rushed forward now changed direction, running back.
Due to the abruptness, many undead couldn’t turn quickly enough and were squeezed into the Nether River.
The Nether River was utterly corrosive; resistant to nothing afloat, and terrifying.
As soon as these undead fell in, without even struggling, they dissolved into white foam and vanished.
Just as Li Chen was surprised, from the Beast Pet Space, Thousand Shadows Blood Charm exclaimed.
"How did a living creature end up in the undead gathering of Nine Netherworld Hell?"
Li Chen did not directly answer Thousand Shadows Blood Charm, but casually asked.
"Did you also come from here?"
Thousand Shadows Blood Charm nodded in response, "Yes, but I escaped tens of thousands of years ago."
Li Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know where the Dark Field Mice are?"
Thousand Shadows Blood Charm thought for a long while, pointed at the Nether River, and said, "It should be the Nether River!"
Li Chen was startled upon hearing this and quickly turned his eyes toward the Nether River.
Indeed, swarms of Dark Field Mice were emerging from the Nether River, crawling up the bank.
They gathered together, appearing very terrifying.
That was likely why the undead suddenly panicked and turned back when they appeared...
