Chapter 71: A Strange Encounter in the Underworld

After all that trouble, just as Liu Yu and the others were about to take a break, the system's voice rang out: "Host, a new mission has arrived! You need to go to the underworld to retrieve a lost magical artifact."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu nearly fell off her chair: "What? The underworld? That's not a place for humans!"

Xu Xian was also terrified, his face turning pale: "What should we do?"

Bai Suzhen comforted her, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it and deal with it carefully."

Xiaoqing, however, didn't seem to care at all: "What's there to be afraid of? Your older sister is here!"

So they prepared their belongings and embarked on their journey to the underworld.

As soon as I arrived at the gates of the underworld, I saw two ghost guards standing there. The ghost guards had blue faces and fangs, and were quite frightening.

Liu Yu stepped forward, trembling, and said, "Brothers, we are here on orders."

The ghost messenger glared at him: "Ordered? Do you have a token?"

Liu Yu quickly took out the token given to him by the system.

The ghost messenger looked them over and let them in.

Upon entering the underworld, one is greeted by a chilling and terrifying atmosphere, with ghosts roaming everywhere.

Liu Yu was so frightened that she grabbed Xu Xian's arm tightly: "Xu Xian, I'm scared."

Xu Xian's voice trembled with fear: "I...I'm scared too."

Xiaoqing mocked, "You two grown men are really spineless."

As they walked, they came to a river. There was an old woman selling soup by the river.

When the old woman saw them, she said in a sinister tone, "Have a bowl of Meng Po soup. Drink it and forget the troubles of your past life."

Liu Yu quickly waved her hands: "No, no."

The old woman's expression suddenly changed: "You won't drink? Then don't even think about crossing the river!"

Bai Suzhen stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandma, we have an urgent matter to attend to, and we hope you can do us a favor."

The old woman snorted, "Give me a break? It's not that easy!"

Xiaoqing couldn't hold back any longer and drew her sword, saying, "You old hag, don't be ungrateful!"

The old woman laughed heartily: "Little girl, how dare you act so wildly here!"

As she spoke, she flicked her sleeve, and a powerful force sent Xiaoqing staggering back several steps.

Just then, Liu Yu had a sudden inspiration and took out a jade pendant from her bosom: "Grandma, this is a small token of our appreciation, please accept it."

The old woman's eyes lit up when she saw the jade pendant: "You're smart to leave."

They crossed the river and continued on their way.

Suddenly, a crying sound was heard. Following the sound, a little devil was seen crying in a corner.

Liu Yu asked curiously, "Little devil, why are you crying?"

The little boy sobbed, "My toy is lost, I can't find it."

Liu Yu was both amused and exasperated: "Is it really necessary to cry like this over a toy?"

The little devil said, "That's my favorite toy."

Xu Xian said, "We'll help you find it."

After searching for a long time, I finally found the toy in a crevice between rocks.

The little devil said happily, "Thank you, I can tell you a secret."

Liu Yu asked, "What secret?"

The little devil said, "Deep in the underworld, there is a treasure pavilion. The magical treasure you are looking for may be there."

Following the imp's instructions, they arrived at the treasure pavilion.

There are two huge stone lions at the entrance of the treasure pavilion, whose eyes even glow.

Liu Yu cautiously walked over: "Brother Lion, can we go in?"

The stone lion remained motionless.

Xiaoqing said, "Brother-in-law, you're talking to a stone, it's no wonder it won't listen to you."

As she spoke, she tried to force her way in.

Just then, the stone lion suddenly moved and blocked their way.

Liu Yu was so frightened that she quickly backed away: "Oh no!"

Bai Suzhen said, "Don't panic, watch me."

She used her magic to engage in a battle with the stone lion.

Finally, Bai Suzhen successfully subdued the stone lion, and they entered the treasure pavilion.

The treasure pavilion was filled with all sorts of treasures, dazzling them with their own eyes.

Liu Yu said excitedly, "So many treasures, I wish I could take a few of them."

Xu Xian said, "Don't be greedy, we only need to find the magic weapon."

After searching for a long time, they finally found the lost magic weapon.

Just as they were about to leave, the owner of the treasure vault returned.

The master, a ferocious-looking ghost king, roared, "You audacious little thief, how dare you steal my magic treasure!"

Liu Yu quickly explained, "Lord Ghost King, we are here on orders to retrieve it."

The Ghost King ignored him completely and swung his spiked club at him.

A fierce battle ensued...
