Chapter 302: Encountering a Ghost-Eating Beast

"Door?"

Hu Bayi suddenly looked up and saw a door at the end of the stone road.

In an instant, hope arose in the hearts of several people. Although they had already exhausted a lot of physical strength, they still tried their best to sprint to the door at the fastest speed.

It was a bronze gate, mottled and old, covered with verdigris. On both sides of the gate sat bronze statues of the god Di Ting, who combined the images of many beasts in one body and gathered the grace of many things into one. It looked like a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger but not a tiger, a lion but not a lion, a unicorn but not a unicorn, and a dog but not a dog. The single horn represented judgment and it looked lifelike.

"Old Hu, there is no mechanism, it can't be opened!"

"Agency, I'm looking for it!!!"

There was a bronze door in front of them and tens of thousands of ghost corpses behind them. Seeing that they were about to rush over, they became extremely anxious.

Hu Bayi was constantly searching for the mechanism to open the gate. Fatty Wang, Shirley Yang and others stopped the ghost corpses, but the bronze gate was tightly closed and weighed billions of pounds. How could it be opened?

At this moment, the sharp claws of a ghost skeleton directly knocked the fat man away, leaving a bloody mark on his chest.

Coincidentally, Fatty Wang's blood splashed onto the bronze gate. Beads of blood continued to spread, outlining ancient patterns and pre-Qin seal characters on the bronze gate.

boom! ! !
There was a loud roar like a mountain collapsing, and the bronze door opened automatically, revealing a gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Fatty, Miss Yang, Lao Jin, the door is open, hurry up!!!"

Hu Bayi shouted and quickly helped the fat man up. After waiting for Da Jin Ya and Shirley Yang to pass, he also went through.

At the same time, those ghost corpses also wanted to attack the portal to the underworld like a flood, but there were too many of them, and they were stuck there for a while, unable to escape.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the bronze door closed automatically, and the ghost corpses stuck in the gap of the bronze door were directly crushed into pieces by the bronze door weighing billions of pounds.

When they saw the bronze door closed again, they breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed.

Hu Bayi was lying on the ground. When he looked up, he saw a large bronze plaque above the door. It was decorated with dragon and tiger patterns, a dragon spitting out flames, a tiger stepping on an iceberg, and four words were written in iron and silver strokes.

"Miss Yang, do you know that word?"

Shirley Yang held up a flashlight and tried to identify it vaguely. She said, "This is ancient seal script from the pre-Qin period. I learned some from my grandfather when I was young, so I can barely recognize it. If I'm not mistaken, it seems to say: Infernal Purgatory!"

"what?"

"Is this really hell?"

Fatty Wang struggled to his feet in disbelief: "Miss Yang, are you sure you saw that?"

Shirley Yang frowned and said seriously, "That should be correct, which means we just escaped from this hell. But I don't understand why this door opened automatically?"

Hu Bayi thought of those bloody lines, then looked at Fatty Wang and asked suspiciously, "Is it because of Fatty's blood?"

Just when a few people were guessing.

Big Gold Teeth was about to cry but had no tears: "I say, everyone, please take a look at where we are first, we haven't escaped yet!"

Hu Bayi looked around and found that just as Da Jin Ya had said, several people were still in hell.

He looked at the plaque of the Endless Purgatory, then looked up above his head, and said with a heavy heart, "Legend has it that below the eighteen levels of hell is the Endless Purgatory, where there is no time or space, and one will be tortured forever."

"If I'm not mistaken, since the bottom is the endless purgatory, there should be eighteen levels of hell above us!" Big Gold Teeth's teeth trembled: "No way, Master Hu, you mean that we have to go through the eighteen levels of hell before we can escape?"

"It's not certain whether I can escape or not!"

Da Jin Ya's face was gloomy. He just wanted to make a fortune, so why did he end up in hell?
He is not dead yet!

How great a sin had he committed to send a living person to hell?
"Mr. Hu, you...you must take me out!"

To be honest, Hu Bayi was actually quite nervous. He had no confidence at all. Even if he had extraordinary abilities, who could or dared to break into the Eighteen Levels of Hell?
Several people tried to move forward, but the space they were in was like a maze, and they couldn't find any pattern at all.

"Lao Hu, look!"

Fatty Wang suddenly noticed a mural and pointed it to Hu Bayi with a flashlight.

On the mural, there were countless ferocious little ghosts who stripped the visitors naked, tied them to four wooden stakes in the shape of a "big" character, and sawed them to death from the crotch to the head, making the scene extremely bloody and miserable.

The four of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Just as they were watching intently, two figures, one black and one white, suddenly appeared behind them. They were very short, with a single horn on their heads, arms so long that they could touch the ground, hair like grass and branches, and their mouths were wide open with saliva.

“Hungry…hungry…hungry!!!”

“Eat…eat…eat!!!”

The voice was very urgent.

Shirley Yang realized something was wrong and immediately pulled out her Vajra Umbrella to knock away the two ghosts that were rushing towards her. The two ghosts, one black and one white, disappeared directly into the darkness.

Then they attacked from the left and the right, their speed was as fast as the wind and their appearance was extremely strange.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"I don't know, but looking at its appearance, it looks a bit like the monsters mentioned in the records!" Big Gold Teeth said uncertainly.

Volume 16 of "Soushen Ji" records: "In the past, Zhuanxu had three sons. After their death, they became plague ghosts: one lived in the river and became a malaria ghost; one lived in the weak water and became a monster ghost; and one lived in the palace and was good at scaring children, and became a child ghost."

The monster in the mountains is called Kui Wangliang, the monster in the water is called Longwangxiang, and the monster in the earth is called Yanyang. Wangliang is a kind of ghost in the mountains and rivers, or it can be said to be a mountain and river monster.

Just as several people were fighting with the two little ghosts, suddenly a roar came from a distance, like the roar of a tiger or a lion, and like thunder that frightened all the ghosts.

Then, a strong and strange beast with its claws stepping on wind and thunder appeared in front of everyone. It had a tiger head and a human body, with long elbows on all fours. It held a snake in its mouth and drove the snake across the border. The painting was extremely strange, as if the tiger and snake were a symbiotic organism.

As soon as it appeared, it swallowed the two monsters into its stomach, then sniffed Hu Bayi and the others, showing no interest at all, and simply waved its tail and left.

---

At this time, Fengdu Taoist Lord and Rensheng Taoist Lord were looking at the scene in the scroll where Hu Bayi and others passed all the checkpoints and broke through the prison. It was like picking up a chess piece at random, one made a murderous move, and the other happened to rescue them.

In short, it happened to be when several people were about to die and were disheartened. Although they were in a miserable state, their lives were not in danger after all.

All the way from the eighteenth level of the hell of knife and saw to the first level of the hell of tongue pulling out.

During this period, he encountered countless demons and monsters, and endured dreams, plague, death, epidemics, drought, desire, alienation and other vicious methods from the ghost realm, which greatly tempered his character.
