Chapter 330: Death in the Bone Train

This is a train of eerie bones heading to the foot of the underworld palace.

Door number nine slowly opened automatically, like a portal to the underworld.

The moment Lu Yue stepped into the carriage, a stale, musty smell mixed with the heaviness of history hit him in the face. He looked around and found that there was a lot of space in the carriage.

Even though it housed more than forty demigods, it wasn’t that crowded.

Some of these demigods closed their eyes, as if meditating, or leaned back in their chairs, looking exhausted. Some were dressed in rags, with eyes burning with resentment and anger…

These are all demigods from the lower world.

After their defeat, they were forced to surrender and then sent to their final destination.

That is at the foot of the Yinsi Palace.

Lu Yue found an empty seat and sat down. He decided to use the next few days to cultivate his jade body and integrate some universal special source energy.

At this time, a bearded demigod walked over and asked softly, “My friend, you look quite young. Were you also forced to submit to the underworld?”

Lu Yue, who had just entered the state of cultivation, was disturbed and frowned slightly. This feeling was like lying down on the bed when sleepiness came, but suddenly he had to pee, so he said: “No, I volunteered. If I surrender, I can get a free ride.”

The bearded demigod was stunned when he heard this, then he stroked his chin and said awkwardly, “My friend, you are really humorous. This underworld bone train is not so easy to ride. Prisoners of war like us demigods will be sent to the foot of the Heavenly Palace at the beginning. That place is more terrifying than the Nine Nether Hell. Once you get there, life is worse than death…”

Lu Yue: “What do you want to say?”

The bearded demigod said mysteriously, “My friend, I know you are not ordinary. You must be different from us captured demigods.”

Lu Yue’s heart moved.

He thought he was well disguised, but he was discovered immediately.

Seeing Lu Yue’s expression change slightly, the bearded demigod further confirmed his guess, so he confidently explained: “There is no entrance to the lower world near the place where the bone train stopped just now. You must not have just come in from the lower world. I have seen countless people with my eyes. Although you look as miserable as us, your spirit is different.”

“I heard that there are forces in this world that resist the underworld, and you must be one of them. You must have a secret mission to sneak into this bone train, right?”

The tall demigod expressed his guess with great confidence.

After listening to the whole thing, Lu Yue was speechless.

He didn’t expect that he would be suspected by the other party as one of the demigods who were rebelling.

Without waiting for Lu Yue to answer, the bearded demigod’s eyes sparkled with excitement: “I have contacted some like-minded friends in the past few days. I originally planned to start an incident on the way. With your help, I believe our chances of success will be higher.”

“After we get out, we will join you in fighting against the underworld.”

Looking at the bearded demigod who was explaining his plan, Lu Yue simply responded, “You guessed wrong. He is not someone who is resisting the forces of the underworld, and he does not have any secret mission.”

The bearded demigod refused to give up and continued to tell his plan.

Lu Yue simply kept silent and continued to practice with his eyes closed.

Finally, the bearded demigod looked at Lu Yue with a strange look, then headed to the next target and continued to persuade other demigods to join the uprising team…

Lu Yue shook his head secretly.

He did not look favorably upon the other party’s uprising.

After all, he had not seen those numbered demigods from the underworld since he entered the carriage, and he had no idea how many numbered demigods there were on this train.

With the fighting power of these captured demigods, it would probably be difficult to win.

Another crucial point is that they are all injected with the origin.

You must know that even a son of destiny as strong as Taoist Fang can only rely on the ghost-head knife to cut out the origin of his soul.

Even if these people could escape, they wouldn’t be able to run far.

It’s not that Lu Yue has no sympathy.

In this world, there are many captured demigods.

Even if Lu Yue spent his entire lifetime saving them one by one, he would not be able to save them all.

Therefore, the most effective method is to go to the Yinsi Palace to solve the source.

Another point is that if he could extract the special source energy without damage, he would not mind helping these people, but his method of extracting the special source energy was the same as Hua Tuo’s treatment in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, splitting the person’s head first and then treating him.

The special source energy was indeed stripped away, but the person was also gone.

So Lu Yue chose to continue his immersive practice.

Not long after, there was a sudden noise in the carriage.

It was the Bearded Demigod and his men who began to act.

They had a clear division of labor. Some stood guard, some made noise, and the rest tried to destroy the windows of the bone train. However, the bone train was made of the bones of demigods and was inherently very tough. If the underworld dared to use it to transport prisoners, they would naturally consider the possibility of violent destruction…

And as if they were worried about the noise, no one dared to use their full strength and tried to break the car windows by brute force. As expected, they failed in the end.

Everyone started to stop this useless work and think of new methods.

During this period, the bearded demigod once again extended an olive branch to Lu Yue. Everyone brainstormed and sought a way out together, but was once again rejected by Lu Yue. In the end, he could only discuss countermeasures with other demigods.

Suddenly, a demigod in a ragged robe stared straight ahead and said in a low voice: “Who are you and why are you looking at me?!!!”

Everyone’s eyes subconsciously turned forward, and then looked confused.

At this moment, the demigod in the ragged robe suddenly stood up, his nerves tense to the extreme, his eyes full of fear, and roared towards the distance: “I warn you, if you look at me like this again, you will bear the consequences!”

The companions around him looked at this demigod who suddenly seemed to have gone crazy, realized that the situation was not good, and immediately asked him what had happened.

The demigod in the long gown broke out in a cold sweat, as if he had seen something terrifying.

“Can’t you see?!!!”

“There… there suddenly appeared a skeleton wrapped in rags, and it was walking towards me. Damn it… Don’t come over here!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the demigod in the long gown threw a punch. With a loud bang, a huge fist shadow actually hit a dazed demigod directly.

The innocent demigod stood up and roared angrily: “What’s wrong with you? Why are you attacking me? Where are the skeletons here?!!!”

Others also said that they were the only ones in this carriage.

I have never seen any skeleton demigods.

The demigod in the long gown seemed not to have heard anything. He trembled all over and kept muttering to himself, “Don’t come over.” Then he staggered backward, like a deserter who had thrown away his armor and fled madly in fear.

“Don’t come here, don’t come here!!!”

Soon, the demigod in the long gown was forced into a corner. He fought back with all his might, as if there was really an invisible skeleton chasing him.

The next second, his body suddenly froze.

At this time, someone came forward to check, his face changed drastically and said: “He is dead!!!”

What…dead? !!!

This sudden scene left everyone unable to react.

A demigod died suddenly without any harm.

Faced with this strange and unpredictable phenomenon, everyone in the car looked solemn.

“What happened? He was fine just now, how come he died suddenly?”

“He seemed to have just said there was a skeleton ahead.”

“What skeleton? Why didn’t I see it?!”

“Could it be that there are his enemies hiding in the carriage, attacking him in secret?”

“Impossible. We are all defeated and captured demigods. We come from different worlds and did not know each other before entering here. Moreover, we are all in the same boat. Even if there is hatred, how could the murderer do all this under the gaze of so many eyes?!!”

“Could it be that the ghost of a demigod who once died in this carriage is haunting this train?”

This conjecture made everyone fall into deep thought. After all, the underworld’s bone train was notorious and had transported countless demigod slaves. Perhaps some demigods had really died here and turned into evil spirits.

But the key point is that even if a fierce ghost is revived, these people are all demigods. Now they can’t even detect a trace of the breath of a ghost in this process.

This sudden death completely disrupted everyone’s escape plan.

Every demigod can give his own guess, but each guess cannot stand up to careful scrutiny. However, with the occurrence of this death incident, an ominous and depressing atmosphere quietly shrouded the hearts of the demigods.

Lu Yue standing by had a frown on his face, he also witnessed the entire death.

Like the others, he found no trace of any skeletons.

The most important thing is that after the other party died, he did not receive any special source energy.

Lu Yue looked around and found nothing unusual.

But his intuition told him that he was in unknown danger.

Just as everyone was speculating, a terrified voice was heard again in the carriage.

“I…I saw it…I saw the skeleton.”

A thin demigod pointed forward, his voice trembling.

However, when everyone looked carefully, they found that there was nothing there.

Someone repeatedly asked, “Are you sure there are skeletons there?”

“Yes, I’m sure, it’s definitely not a living person, wait…it’s coming towards me, save me!!!”

Thinking of the miserable state of the demigod just now, the thin demigod was terrified and took action, but all his attacks failed without exception, so he hurriedly asked other demigods for help.

However, this strange scene also made the other demigods feel a chill in their hearts.

Because no matter what they did, they couldn’t see the skeleton.

In the end, it was the bearded demigod who gritted his teeth and stood up.

He stood in front of the skinny demigod.

“Tell me, where is that skeleton now?”

“One meter in front of you.”

The bearded demigod roared, and a blazing divine fire ignited all over his body, as dazzling as a small sun. He walked forward step by step, trying to use his own body to test this invisible deadly skeleton himself.

The thin demigod retreated while tremblingly reporting the skeleton’s location.

“That…that skeleton went through your body!!!”

what? ! ! !

The bearded demigod’s eyes flashed, because even though the skeleton passed through his body, he still didn’t feel the slightest bit of abnormality.

A skeleton that makes all demigods unable to see, hear, or feel.

What on earth is this thing? ! ! !

At this moment, the chill of fear instantly devoured the temperature in everyone’s body. Even they, who were demigods, felt terrified at this moment.

“Save me, save me…”

“Tell me, what is that skeleton doing now?!!!”

“It’s coming towards me, it’s coming towards me…it’s talking…”

“What is it saying?”

“It’s like it’s asking ‘What are my options?'”

“What choice?!!”

“I don’t know, I really don’t know…”

Before he finished speaking, the distorted face of the thin demigod was frozen.

The second demigod fell.

For a moment, everyone felt insecure, and there was anxiety in everyone’s eyes.

They realized that this carriage was hiding an extremely terrifying existence.

Being able to kill people silently in front of them, whether it is a ghost or something else, this power is far beyond their comprehension.

Who will be next? ! !
“Do you think that all this was done by those demigods in the underworld?”

Suddenly, a subtle voice broke the silence in the car.

Someone asked, “What do you mean?”

The man gritted his teeth and said, “Everyone, although we all hate those demigods in the underworld, we have to face the fact that the strength of the demigods in the underworld is far greater than any of us. The noise we made when we destroyed the car window just now was actually not small. Why hasn’t the demigod of the underworld shown up yet?”

“Even if they are confident that we cannot escape, since we are defeated slaves they are escorting and belong to the property of the Yinsi Heavenly Palace, why haven’t they appeared yet now that two demigods have died here?”

These words made everyone think deeply.

“You mean, all this was done by the demigod of the underworld?”

The man shook his head, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: “I’m not sure yet, but since this is the underworld’s bone train, everything that happened here must be related to those demigods in the underworld.”

“By the way, everyone, I want to ask you a question.”

“Before you were taken to the car, did you see the demigod of the underworld with your own eyes?”

Everyone recalled it carefully in their hearts.

Then everyone felt their scalps tingling.

“No, only the door of carriage number nine was open when I got on the train.”

“Me too.”

“And me, I have never seen the demigod of the underworld.”

They were escorted for several days, but no one had ever seen the demigod of the underworld.

This made everyone feel even more panicked and uneasy.

“We can’t just sit there and wait for death, we must find a way to save ourselves!!!”

In the face of serious threats to life, everyone has united as never before.

They decided to take the initiative.

Since the demigod of the underworld had not shown up yet, they no longer suppressed their abilities and changed from secretly escaping from prison to blatantly destroying car windows.

For a moment, a deafening roar sounded in the carriage.

But it still cannot cause effective damage to it.

During this process, two more demigods died inexplicably.

“There is something wrong with this carriage, we must leave here!!!”

Because people died one after another and the car windows could not be damaged, the bearded demigod gritted his teeth and decided to change direction. He joined forces with the remaining demigods to open the doors to other cars.

Rumble!
Finally, everyone opened the door to the next carriage.

No one dared to stop and wanted to leave the carriage.

However, at this moment, the demigod at the front said with a trembling voice, unable to suppress his fear: “Corpses… They are all corpses… All the enslaved demigods in this carriage are dead!!”
