Chapter 234 The Terrifying Abyss
A dozen shadowy black figures were approaching this side quickly.
As they got closer, Han Ning finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.
They had dark skin, a pair of sharp horns only as long as a thumb on their heads, red patterns on both sides of their cheeks, and blood-red pupils. They were generally humanoid, but short, mostly only about 1.6 meters tall.
And those red blood-light creatures hidden in the darkness were canine soul beasts covered with spikes, shaped like hounds, with eyes only the size of green beans, emitting fierce light.

As for the humanoid creatures that were approaching quickly, the identification function of the panel could not refresh their relevant information.
After a few days of experiments, Han Ning also summarized some usages of identification.
He found that if the creature being identified is a humanoid with higher intelligence or a creature with special mental power fluctuations, the identification function cannot be used, and it can only work on soul beasts.
Not all beastmasters are humanoid. According to the knowledge of the insect man classics of each tribe, some beastmasters have very strange appearances, some like wild beasts, and some like insects. As long as the wisdom and spiritual talent are high enough, they can sign a contract with soul beasts, not necessarily in human form.
Before setting off, Han Ning asked Qing Fan and Fei Yu for some relevant introductions about the abyss creatures of the two tribes.
Regarding the appearance of the creature in front of him, a piece of information that matched it quickly emerged in his mind:
"The Hexagonal Clan is a rare group of Homo sapiens living in the abyss. Legend has it that they contain the blood of the abyss soul beast-the Hexagonal Demon."
"However... the IQ of the Hexagonal Clan should be the lowest among the sub-humans. Only the top elites in the tribe are qualified to contract soul beasts, even lower than the insect man..."
The group of Hexagonal people knelt down and saluted the dark pattern giant like kneeling to worship gods.
Although they were from different civilizations, Han Ning had seen this gesture of prostrating and kneeling to show his submission in several tribes.
"Ah!!"
However, at this moment, the Dark Pattern Giant had one of his palms twisted off by Qing Yao, and he was very irritable. He ignored the kneeling of the surrounding Hexagonal People and grabbed two short Hexagonal People at random, and put them directly into his mouth to chew like eating shrimps.
Crunch~
The creepy chewing sound echoed in the dark environment.
Blood marks were left from the corners of the Dark Pattern Giant's mouth, adding a bit of horror.
After eating several Hexagonal People and dozens of Soul-Splitting Dogs in a row, the Dark Pattern Giant's broken palm was completely repaired by an unknown force.
The complex dark patterns on the back of his hand emitted a strange light.
The remaining Hexagonal People were so scared that they quickly retreated more than ten meters, talking to each other in a long way, and then looked at Qing Yao who was floating in front of the Dark Pattern Giant with a horrified look.
Han Ning looked at the rioting crowd quietly and did not let Qing Yao attack rashly.
Since they are intelligent creatures, there is a possibility of mental communication.
Apart from the wooden map given by Akatos, they know nothing about the Abyss of Resentment and need a creature that can communicate to understand the local situation.
The dark-marked giant was defeated and did not attack rashly. The two sides froze in place.
About a minute later, footsteps were heard again in the darkness.
A hexagonal man with a height different from other similar people, wearing an unknown animal skin, with two bulges on his chest, came over hurriedly with several soul beasts.
"#x-on:%¥... # ?"
She quickly glanced at the current situation, took out a large piece of purple flesh from a dirty pocket, threw it to the dark-marked giant, and calmed its emotions.
When the bloodthirsty look in the dark-marked giant's eyes gradually disappeared, she stopped her gaze on Qing Yao and Han Ning.
At a glance, Han Ning could tell that this person should be a beastmaster. His pupils with restrained divine light were like a phoenix among a group of chickens, which was so out of tune with the other sluggish and confused hexagonal people.
"Are you a beastmaster?" Han Ning walked forward a distance under Qingyao's protection so that the weakened mental power could be transmitted to the other party. .
"Who are you?!" The other party's mental fluctuations were very rapid, and it could be seen that she was very nervous.
"I am a beastmaster from the insect land. I have no ill will towards you. Can we exchange some interests? I want to learn about the situation of the abyss of resentment from you." Han Ning didn't want to argue with her and went straight to the point.
He asked Qingyao to retract the flying and rotating chains outside and only maintain a defensive state.
Seeing that the other party did not launch an attack, the tense face of the female hexagonal person relaxed slightly.
Compared with the tyrannical dark pattern giant, this group of humanoid creatures seemed to be particularly timid, and they were completely different from the cold and resentful appearance of the abyss creatures in Han Ning's impression.
"What's your name? I can provide you with fresh blood from the insect land, crystals of other attributes, some knowledge... What do you need?" Han Ning took out some materials that had awakened to extraordinary preciousness and shook them to the female hexagonal man.
"My name is A Yu..."
A Yu stared at the soul-nourishing grass in Han Ning's hand, and her mental power fluctuated violently.
"I want it. What information do you want to ask?"
Isn't the soul-nourishing grass a dark material? There should be a lot of it in the abyss. Why does she look so hungry?
Han Ning was confused and mentally sent a message:
"What powerful soul beasts or abyssal tribe live near Ye Ming City? Where is this place located in Ye Ming City?"
He threw the wooden map drawn by Akatos and a soul-nurturing grass to Ayu, "2 questions, 30 soul-nurturing grasses."
Ayu seemed very satisfied with the deal, and immediately lowered his head and inspected the wooden board.
Then, she used her dirty nails to carve a few circles on the board, showed the board to Han Ning, pointed to the lower right corner of the map, and said:
"We are in this direction of Ye Ming City. It is about 2,000 kilometers away from the nearest entrance. You will pass by three lord-level abyss soul beast groups and a group of night demons stationed outside Ye Ming City."
"The Night Demons are one of the most powerful tribes in the abyss. There is a monarch-level shadow spider demon living there... and countless Night Demon beast masters."
"The monarch...has the monarch soul beast become so cheap..."
Han Ning frowned when he heard this. Then he thought about it. The Abyss of Resentment was a place that even the five ancestors were afraid of. It was normal for the monarch soul beast to exist.
"There are several entrances to Yeming City. Is there a safer entrance?"
"some."
Ayu blinked her red eyes and did not continue the interrogation.
Han Ning understood and took out 35 soul-nurturing grasses tied together and threw them to her.
"Thank you, generous alien."
Ayu showed a satisfied smile and continued,
"There are a total of four entrances to Ye Ming City. The entire city is obscured by the fog of death everywhere, including the top."
"The easier one to enter is the southern entrance. There is a lack of resources in the abyss. There is only one group of gluttonous worms inhabiting it. The most powerful one has the strength of a high-ranking lord. It is the guardian left here by the Aratak people." Ayu A line was drawn on the board leading to the southern entrance,
"Pass through 2 ethnic groups with median lords."
"What's going on inside Yeming City?" Han Ning threw 10 more soul-nurturing grasses to her.
"I don't know. Not only me, but few beast masters in the entire abyss know that entering Yeming City requires the blood of the Aratak people." Ayu shook his head.
"Okay, I understand." Han Ning nodded, winked at Qing Yao, and secretly sent a message, "Elder Qing Yao, knock them all out, including the dark pattern giant. I want to take that woman away."
"啷~"
Qing Yao groaned, and the dragon's whiskers on his lower jaw suddenly shot forward. At lightning speed, they formed densely packed, thousands of cyan chains, which shot at all the creatures present at the same time.
In just a moment, all living creatures except Han Ning and the others were pierced by green light chains through their chests, closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Thump thump~
There were sounds of falling to the ground one after another.
Those creatures whose chests were penetrated by chains showed no scars on their chests, as if what just happened was just a dream.
Han Ning threw out his tentacles, wrapped up Ayu and several soul beasts around her, and threw them on the back of the egg pancake. Then he picked up the map drawn by Ayu, determined the direction of the southern part of the map, and pointed at a completely dark area. direction, and said to the soul beasts around him:
"Let's go that way."
…
Ayu woke up suddenly.
She subconsciously turned over and stood up, summoning the spirit beast around her.
However, he found that his body was bound by layers of vines and he could not move at all. Even his mental power seemed to be suppressed, making him confused and unable to communicate with the spiritual world.
She raised her head. The foreigner, who was dressed in strange clothes and kept extremely clean, stood two meters in front of her, looking calmly forward.
"You..." She opened her mouth, her tone hoarse.
Han Ning heard the movement behind him and the inexplicable sound made by Ayu, and smiled: "Sorry, I can't completely trust you. I also ask you to come with us to Ye Ming City. If you return successfully, I will give you a big gift." Gift.”
Ayu looked in horror at the terrifying flame dragon exuding a scorching aura beneath her, the mysterious dragon flying together not far away, and Feilin, who looked like a high-level abyssal race on one side, and the rare abyssal soul beast beneath her. His eyes were full of fear, and he subconsciously stammered in Abyssal language mixed with spiritual power:
"What I said is real……"
"It's true. Then come with me. It's just like a trip. You can also get treasures. Why not?"
Han Ning's smile did not diminish and she asked casually,
"What's the strength of your Hexagon tribe in the abyss? What about you?"
Ayu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said tremblingly:
"I... our Hexagon tribe is just a small wandering tribe. There are only about 200 people in my tribe..."
"Our original habitat was occupied by another powerful group of abyssal beastmasters, the Dark Ones, and we could only wander around in search of new habitats."
"I am one of the 20 beast masters in the tribe, with about the first level of spiritual power."
Finally, she came to her senses and repeated it nervously with all her mental strength.
"The content of Ayu's spiritual message is quite organized, and the knowledge passed down within the clan should be quite high. Could it be influenced by the Aratak people?"
Even though Ayu was dirty and half-clothed, what she said was clearer than what Aktu said.
It gives people a down-and-out "aristocratic" feeling.
Of course, this feeling of nobility does not come from her blood.
The bloodline of the Hexagonal people is visibly inferior to the naked eye.
"It sounds quite pathetic."
Han Ning didn't feel pity, but thought about the difficult time everyone in his college had when they traveled to the Insect Continent, and sighed in his heart.
"That Dark Pattern Giant is rare in the abyss. With its lord-level strength... it shouldn't be your soul beast, right?"
"It is a monster summoned by the elders of the clan through sacrifice. It needs to eat a lot of blood every day to drive it to action."
Speaking of the Dark Pattern Giant, Ayu's tone became even more trembling.
"Okay, you will be our guide, and I won't treat you badly when things are done." Han Ning raised his head towards Ayu's forehead.
A flash of blood suddenly appeared.
The next second, Ayu felt something warm inside her body, and her groggy brain suddenly woke up.
…
The bottom of the Abyss of Resentment is rugged and undulating, with numerous gray vegetation growing there.
All directions were completely shrouded in darkness, the environment was damp and dirty, and the air was filled with a vague odor.
Qingyao and Egg Pancake flying in mid-air formed the only light sources in the darkness.
"Sir... Your Majesty, the abyss is very dangerous. It's best not to let your soul beast emit psychic light at will..."
Ayu took a few deep breaths, and her original nervousness eased slightly.
Facing this powerful and terrifying alien, she completely lost her desire to resist.
Just make peace with him when he comes. Since you can't defeat him, just cooperate with him.
"Without psychic light, how can we identify the direction?" "Boom!"
Han Ning's mental power had just been released when a thunder-like explosion suddenly came from below.
Then, a dense pouring sound like a torrential rain filled the air.
There seemed to be a lot of raindrops crackling, hitting the outer psychic shield.
In an instant, Qing Yao and Egg Pancake, who were flying at high speed, suddenly stopped.
The psychic shields around the two soul beasts Qingyao and Egg Pancake were covered with dense black worms.
Their mouths were split open and split into several petals, which opened wider and wider. Each flesh petal was equipped with sharp teeth, frantically gnawing at the psychic energy on the surface of the shield, which looked extremely penetrating.
At the same time, a vague fragrance spread to the nose from outside the shield.
Han Ning felt dizzy, feeling a sharp pain in his scalp, and dense gray spots appeared in front of his eyes.
He sneezed hard, and countless small black insects were strangled by the omnipotent spiritual silkworms in his body. They flew out of the nose along with the sneeze and fell on the dragon's back.
"It's death leeches and flying leeches. Lord Han Ning, don't use your mental and psychic powers. Use your physical power to destroy them." Ayu held her breath, widened her eyes, and looked at the shield that was shrouded like a dark cloud. A swarm of leeches.
