Chapter Eight Hundred and Fifty Two – Coffin Puller
Just like usual, A Man sat silently as he waited for the appearance of prey .
His body was in the bog with only his head above the mud . His head was hidden by thick branches . In this Cold Nether Bog, there were some strange mo beasts such as the nether-tailed fox that could be sold for a good price . While these mo beasts were not aggressive, they were cunning and it was difficult to catch them .
However, A Man was a skilled hand at this .
He was very familiar with the weather in the Cold Nether Bog . He could enter it, and occasionally harvest some rare nether grasses and flowers .
He did not need to worry that people would steal from him . It was rare to find other people in the Cold Nether Bog . It was surrounded by a dangerous nether mist . If he didn’t have his own methods, he would be unable to enter . Even the mud of the bog he was hiding in contained extremely strong nether energy . This was formed from the corpses of mo beasts buried in the bog .
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the distance .
Woo-splash, woo-splash!
A Man frowned . He had never heard a sound like this before .
His heart suddenly jumped . Had a mo beast from deep in the Cold Nether Bog come out? When this thought rose, his blood seemed to freeze . He was able to enter the Cold Nether Bog, but he never dare to actually go deep into this bog, there were many nether beasts beyond his capabilities there .
His ancestors passed down tales that said the Cold Nether Bog’s depths led to the Nine Levels of the Underworld .
A Man thought if there really was an underworld but if there was,then it wasn’t strange if it really was in the depths of the Cold Nether Bog . With every mile one went into the Cold Nether Bog, the danger would increase dramatically .
The depths of the Cold Nether Bog was the paradise of those dangerous and large mo beasts . Once, he had seen an unknown mo beast rampage its way over . Even when he thought of that vicious and powerful presence now, he felt as though it was a nightmare . He was lucky that time and he was completely immersed in the bog, otherwise he probably would have died .
So when A Man heard an unfamiliar sound, he felt his heart rise up to his throat .
The sound grew closer, and he grew more nervous . The sound came from the nearby bushes . He stared the bushes and unconsciously held his breath . Trying to run away now was the stupidest action . Being able to hear the sound meant that the mo beast was very close . Hiding in the bog right now was the correct choice .
Suddenly, when it appeared in his view, he stilled .
A person!
It was a person!
A man with snowy-white hair appeared out of the thick bushes . He had a few thick ropes thrown over his shoulder . Each thick rope was taut with their ends extending into the bushes .
The male walked over the mud as though he was stepping on flat ground as he pulled the ropes dragging his burden forward .
The whooshing sound came from the bushes .
Suddenly, five wood coffins were pulled out of the bushes . A Man’s face changed in fear . He had never thought that the white-haired man was pulling five coffins!
In this unpopulated place to see a man with white-hair pulling five coffins, even someone as daring as A Man’s blood froze .
Especially when he saw the other suddenly turn towards him .
His mind immediately blanked .
He had been found!
Finally encountered a person!
Zuo Mo was filled with joy . After struggling and wandering in the endless void for so long, he finally escaped and found another person . His joy could be imagined . Behind him, Qing Xiao reacted even faster . With a shocked exclamation, his hand shook, and the Green Pulse String on his wrist shot towards A Man’s hiding place .
Qing Xiao had grown much bigger . He looked about twenty .
After moving through the endless void with Zuo Mo these years, his strength had grown . With the guidance of a god-level like Zuo Mo by his side, and the experiences of the endless void, he was extremely powerful .
Ten years!
Ten whole years!
They had roamed the endless void for ten whole years!
The endless void, the lifeless world without any people, the endless dangers . They had journeyed aimlessly to arrive back to civilization . Even with Zuo Mo’s iron resolve, he couldn’t help but feel excited, much less Qing Xiao .
Hiding in the mud, A Man felt something tighten around his body . Then a great force pulled him, he spun and flew in front of the white-haired man .
The hair-thin Green Pulse String wrapped around A Man and held him up in the air .
Zuo Mo gave a friendly smile to A Man who was frightened speechless . Then he said, “A Xiao, you are scaring him . Let him down . ”
“Oh . ” Qing Xiao responded . The Green Pulse String seemed to hear and obediently put A Man down, unwrapping from around A Man and retreating back to Qing Xiao’s hand .
A Man refocused and knelt with a bang, shouting ,”Elder, have mercy! Elder, have mercy!”
Zuo Mo didn’t know what to do . With a wave of his hand, an invisible hand propped A Man up . He said gently, “Don’t worry, I don’t want your life, I only want to ask you a few questions . ”
A Man’s heart settled slightly . Looking at the other’s friendly face, they really didn’t seem to want to kill him . He hurriedly said, “Elder, ask whatever you need, this lowly one will not dare to conceal anything . ”
A Man was not an inexperienced person . In fact, he was very experienced . While he did not know the origins of this elder, the other was clearly powerful . How could a person that walked out of the depths of the Cold Nether Bog be weak?
According to his experience, the stronger the elder, the stranger their tempers were . He had to be careful .
Looking at A Man’s caution and wariness, Zuo Mo did not care . He asked warmly, “Where is this?”
A Man stilled but quickly reacted to respond, “Daren, this is the Cold Nether Bog . ”
“Cold Nether Bog?” Zuo Mo had a blank expression . He had not heard of this name before . He had to ask, “Which jie?”
“Deep Fiend Nether Jie,” A Man responded .
Zuo Mo noticed the word “nether” had come up twice and asked, “Belonging to the Nether Realm?”
A Man hurriedly nodded . “Yes, in the Nether Realm!”
Zuo Mo sighed in relief . He hadn’t thought that he would arrive at the Nether Realm . He was filled with joy . While the Nether Realm was mysterious, it was part of the mo territories, and there would be some way of returning to Mo Cloud Sea .
Thinking of everyone in Mo Cloud Sea, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but become excited . In these years, Zuo Mo’s own state had not been good . When he sealed the five people, other than the loss of his longevity, Zuo Mo’s unstable cultivation that had just reached god-level had almost collapsed . In the years Zuo Mo spent roaming the endless void, he had been recovering all this time .
But his wounds were to the root, and the endless void was not a good place to heal . He did all he could and had finally stabilized his cultivation . However, his power had not recovered . If it was not for Silly Bird’s transformation, the little ones all levelling up, and Qing Xiao’s increase in power, he would have died long ago in the endless void .
His sea of consciousness had shattered which meant that he could not enter the Ten Finger Prison, and could not communicate with Mo Cloud Sea .
The Nether Realm was far from Mo Cloud Sea, but it was within the three realms . He could think of ways to get back to Mo Cloud Sea .
“It has been a long time since this one entering the world, this one doesn’t know of the changes outside . Will this little brother help us get to the nearest town?” Zuo Mo was very polite .
A Man finally sighed in relief hearing the request . The other having use for him meant they would not kill him . He hurriedly said, “Of course, of course, the closest city to her is Little Serene Town . If we walk, it will take about a day and a half . ”
“Many thanks, Little Brother . ” A red bead appeared on Zuo Mo’s hand which he threw to A Man . “Little Brother, do not refuse this small token . ”
A Man took the red bead and his heart jumped . Joy filled him .
The eye of the red-eyed nether wolf!
Faint warmth came from the ruby like bead . There was the thick presence of fire, a pure and serene nether presence, it might be of high quality!
Just this Nether Wolf Fire Bead was more than what he would make in a month!
“Many thanks, Elder! Many thanks, Elder!” He was overjoyed . This time, he had great luck to encounter a well-tempered and generous elder .
Zuo Mo smiled as he had been doing . “Little Brother, no need for such courtesy . ”
This Nether Wolf Fire Bead was nothing to him . It was something they had kill along the way in the Cold Nether Bog . The little ones wouldn’t even deign to look on something of this level .
The endless void was full of danger, but anything that survived there were all hundreds of thousands of years old . The little ones had gained picky tastes . Even Lil’ Pagoda who had never lacked interest in the lowliest materials scoffed at something like the Nether Wolf Fire Bead, much less anyone else .
A Man’s mood was completely different now . Even his voice carried familiarity as he introduced to Zuo Mo the nearby situation .
Zuo Mo had once ruled over a region and knew how management worked . He asked some seemingly disconnected questions and learned all about the area around Little Serene Town .
Zuo Mo quickly formed his own conclusions .
Little Serene Town was a very remote town without a battalion . The population was small and transportation to and from it was difficult . This place was cut off from the outer world . He could hear from A Man’s voice that the great majority of the residents had never left this little town .
But A Man had a clever mouth and mentioned he had left before .
Little Serene Town made a living by hunting in and around the Cold Nether Bog . The nether energy of the Cold Nether Bog was pure and all kinds of nether materials that grew here were of fair quality . The residents of Little Nether Town mostly lived by hunting and gathering materials .
Zuo Mo did not know much about the Nether Realm and listened interestedly .
The Nether Realm had always been relatively closed off . As one of the two realms of the mo, it rarely communicated with the outside world . Even its interactions with Hundred Savage Realm was rare, much less the xiuzhe world .
The so-called nether energy was a kind of energy very similar to death energy . It was filled with cold and yin, and the scent of death .
It could be seen that this kind of energy similar to death was all over the Nether realm . A Man cultivated shen power, and even this was filled with the presence of this nether energy . However, A Man said what he cultivated was not true nether shen power . True nether shen power came from the nether energy .
He could hear A Man’s yearning when he said this .
A Man was not fast as Zuo Mo, but Zuo Mo did not press him . Pulling the five coffins, he followed behind A Man . A Man spoke of all kinds of things in the Nether Realm and it was not boring .
A day and a half later, Little Serene Town was in sight .
