Chapter 212 Too Late

When Chu Lu entered the passage, he saw a path with no end in sight. On both sides of the path was a twisted void, with countless green phosphorescent lights floating in the darkness. Under his feet was a road paved with bones. There was a faint sound of crying floating in the air, sometimes far away, sometimes near.

Chu Lu walked forward along the road of bones, the wailing of dead souls continued to be heard around him.

He turned a deaf ear to it, continued moving forward, and soon reached the end of the passage.

There was a huge bronze door there, with intricate runes carved on it. Every line was glowing with a dark red light, like solidified blood.

Chu Lu reached out and pushed open the bronze door. The door hinges made a harsh friction sound, and then the scenery of the underworld appeared before his eyes.

Chu Lu took a look and was stunned for a moment.

A vast plain stretched to the horizon, covered with lush grass that swayed gently in the breeze. In the distance was a series of mountains, with a forest faintly visible at the foot of the mountains, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

"Is this the underworld?" Chu Lu complained, "Isn't this a little...too normal?"

Qin Su replied, "Occasionally there are such places. Most of the time, the underworld and the demon world in female novels are either filled with gusts of cold wind, a very classic style of the demon sect's mountain gate. Or it is pitch black with wild beasts running rampant, like surviving in the wilderness. But sometimes there are female authors who don't like this style, or are simply too lazy to design it, so they simply set the demon world to be similar to the human world.

Anyway, in the final analysis, the core of female fantasy is just about romance. The reason why there are places like the Demon Realm and Heavenly Palace in female fantasy is just because they want to have romance with people like the Demon Lord and the Heavenly Emperor, so as long as it exists, it doesn’t matter what the details are. ”

Chu Lu: “I see.”

Then he did not ask further, and continued: "Anyway, it's time for us to act, right? According to the information we got before, the protagonist of this dungeon, Ye Heng, should be near the little fox Yao Ji, so where is this Yao Ji?"

The information Chu Lu mentioned naturally refers to the time when he took advantage of Kui Huo's absence from the Nether Soul Sect to find Ye Heng's friend and learn in detail why Ye Heng suddenly went to the underworld.

Eventually, we learned about the story of the third female heroine who invaded this instance - The End of the World.

The story is about how Mo Nian fought a great battle with her enemies many years ago and was seriously injured and fell off a cliff. It took her many years to recover from her injuries and when she was about to go home, she found that a little fox named Yao Ji had eaten the Taoist beads that Mo Nian had dropped when she was injured, and transformed into her appearance. She was inexplicably favored by Mo Nian's family, and eventually replaced Mo Nian and took away her parents, husband, son, and brother. So Mo Nian started to kill people and was determined to kill Yao Ji. Later, she even killed her entire family. She is a very filial daughter.

In the script of the last years, the protagonist of the copy, Ye Heng, happens to be one of the little fox's concubines, so he has to do his best to help the little fox resist being hunted down.

"Yes." Qin Su nodded and said, "According to the original book, the chase took place near Yushan Mountain, which is also where Mo Nian fell off the cliff. So it was equivalent to her just recovering from her injuries and going out, she saw the little fox and her brother being affectionate, and then the chase started directly, so let's go there first to take a look."

"Okay." Chu Lu set off immediately.

He first found a town nearby, inquired about the location of Prison Mountain, and then set off quickly.

However, after arriving, they found that there was no one there, and there were traces of a major battle everywhere, with various depressions and holes on the ground and many collapses on the mountain.

Chu Lu frowned slightly and was about to ask, but Qin Su said with a nonchalant expression: "Keep going west."

Seeing this, Chu Lu walked directly to the west.

After running for nearly a thousand kilometers in one breath, they discovered another battlefield. A huge glazed treasure ship was lying on the ground, completely broken into pieces.

Qin Su still had an expected expression and said, "Go further east."

Nearly a thousand kilometers away, there is also a battlefield here, and the most conspicuous thing is that there are two huge cracks on the ground.

This time, Qin Su's face became more serious and she said, "Chu Lu, go south."

This time they walked a lot further, almost as far as they had walked before, before they finally came to a place that was... quite strange. On the one hand, it looked like a messy battlefield, with potholes and debris everywhere, but on the other hand, if you look closely, you will find that this place is subtly emitting Buddha's light, and even the passing beasts have a sense of Buddha nature.

The tigers no longer eat meat. They bow and eat grass at the same time.

Chu Lu was stunned.

Qin Su's expression became extremely solemn, and she sighed and said, "This is bad."

Chu Lu: "What's wrong?"

"I'm late." Qin Su looked regretful. Chu Lu: "?"

"Wait a minute, it's normal to be late." Chu Lu said with a puzzled look on his face.

It is normal for Chu Lu to think this way.

Because first of all, there is no doubt that those female characters must have invaded this novel world at the same time.

Then according to Qin Su's narration, Mo Nian ran into the little foxes as soon as he left Prison Mountain, which means that the big chase plot is very early.

Considering the time Chu Lu spent on the first two female characters, it is reasonable for him to miss this big chase.

"No." Qin Su said: "This great chase is dragged out very long in the novel of the end of the century. On the one hand, the reason is that the author piles up words endlessly, uses a lot of parallelism and lyricism, and wishes that every time the protagonist says a word, there would be hundreds of words of lyrical description behind it, which shocks the villain. On the other hand, it is also because the plot itself is full of twists and turns. The protagonist uses a big move and starts a killing spree, and is about to kill the little fox, and then either the supporting characters try their best to stop it, or reinforcements happen to arrive.

There is even a big turn in the middle. The protagonist runs out of mana and has to temporarily avoid the attack. The two sides attack and defend in different positions. The protagonist is almost in danger until she gets a treasure by chance and restores her mana, and then she continues to chase. You can also see from the several battlefields in the front that they have been fighting for a long time. "

Qin Su continued, "So even if you spent a lot of time on the first two female characters, I still thought you could catch up in time. But obviously... I was wrong, Kui Huo still took up too much time."

"Really? But is it such a bad thing that he didn't make it in time?" Chu Lu asked, "It doesn't mean that Ye Heng is dead..."

Chu Lu's expression suddenly changed: "Wait a minute, he won't die in this big chase, right?"

Qin Su shook her head and said, "That's not the case. The problem is that we can't find him quickly."

She continued to explain, "Chu Lu, although we sealed Kui Huo with the Soul Bottle, considering this kind of large-scale project, the team leader will ask the members to submit reports every once in a while, so this matter still can't be concealed for long."

“At the same time, since this big chase ended with the Buddha’s son coming forward—yes, there is also a Buddha’s son in Mo Nian’s novel—forcing Mo Nian to retreat, after it ended, the perspective of the story fell on Mo Nian, describing how she visited old friends everywhere to show off, while the plot of the little fox simply talked about how she went around looking for people to discuss how to deal with Mo Nian.

As for Ye Heng, he simply said goodbye to the little fox, saying that he realized that he was not strong enough and wanted to go out to gain experience and improve his cultivation so that he could better protect the little fox in the future. Then, in the next big plot, the little fox begged the mother of the last year to accept the little fox as her real daughter. In this way, she and the last year became real sisters. She could survive, so the mother of the last year held a banquet in the heavenly palace. At the beginning of this plot, Ye Heng appeared again. "

Qin Su said, "If we wait patiently until the banquet begins, it will definitely be too late. But it will be very difficult to find Ye Heng before the banquet begins, because the novel of the last years does not mention where he went. I can only guess based on some details and give a few possible answers, but whether they are right or not depends on luck."

"Really?" Chu Lu nodded and said, "That's really troublesome."

Then he asked, "Is there no other way?"

Qin Su shook her head.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say." Chu Lu said, "There's no way to remedy the situation anyway, and it's useless to continue sighing. We might as well leave quickly and try our luck. So where could he have gone?"

Seeing Chu Lu's calm state of mind, Qin Su also calmed down and put away the frustration in her heart.

She said, "The most likely places are these three. The first is the legend of the appearance of the Netherworld Ancient Temple in the Dead Silence Wasteland. It is said that one can obtain the Samsara Mirror, the magic weapon of the Netherworld Lord, there. The second is the Blood Corpse Pawn Shop in the Ghost Market of Nether City. It is said that one can exchange for anything there. The third is the sea of ​​red spider lilies under the abyss of the Netherworld Mountain. It is said that a red spider lily heart is bred in the depths."

"I understand." Chu Lu asked, "Which one is closest to us?"

"The Ancient Palace of the Abyss."

"Then go there first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lu set off immediately.

At the same time Chu Lu set off, in a world where women were dominant.

Zi Yan was wearing a thin yellow robe that revealed her shoulders and cleavage. She sat on the throne with her chin in one hand.

For some reason, her heart suddenly tightened, as if something bad had happened.
