196: It contains a hidden world, a paradise beyond compare.

Ye Bai remembered reading a description in an Ancient Book. It said someone accidentally stumbled into the Netherworld and was ensnared by a group of hungry, Evil Ghosts.

Those Evil Ghosts continuously devoured human flesh until they had consumed the person entirely. In the end, the person's corpse was gnawed clean, leaving not even bones behind.

"Could this be the legendary Netherworld?" Ye Bai pondered internally.

"Brother Ye Bai, what should we do?" Reba asked anxiously.

"Let's wait and see how things develop first." Ye Bai said after a moment of contemplation.

At this moment, Ye Bai and the others were a full five hundred meters away from the Netherworld. Although they could see what was happening there, they still dared not approach.

Just then, Ye Bai suddenly thought of something.

"My heavens, how could I be so stupid? With the Universe Bag, how could I not take these things?" Ye Bai thought, frustrated.

He then took a box out of the Universe Bag. The box wasn't large, only about the size of a palm.

Subsequently, Ye Bai packed all those items into the Universe Bag. These things were truly too heavy; otherwise, Ye Bai wouldn't have needed to carry a Large Backpack on the journey.

Ye Bai tied the Universe Bag around his waist, and then tied it onto his left arm. This action stunned everyone.

"Ye Bai, what is that? It can actually store living things?" Zhang Dada couldn't help but ask.

"This is called the Universe Bag," Ye Bai explained.

"The Universe Bag? Then how many things can it hold?" Zhang Dada asked again.

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know that. Maybe it can fit a Soccer Ball."

Zhang Dada immediately pulled a long face.

"Brother Ye Bai, is this Universe Bag yours? Can I borrow it to play with?" Reba asked expectantly.

"Sure. But I'll only lend it to you for one minute."

"Mhm! Thank you, Brother Ye Bai!" Reba nodded happily. Then she opened the Universe Bag and looked inside, indeed seeing a Soccer Ball.

Seeing that Ye Bai had actually lent the Universe Bag to Reba, Zhang Dada immediately grew jealous. He felt he should proactively request to trade with Ye Bai for the Universe Bag.

"I want this Universe Bag too," Zhang Dada mumbled.

"Then go ask Ye Bai for it," Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

"I don't dare." Zhang Dada lowered his head, feeling wronged.

"Hmph~" Yang Mi curled her lip and said nothing more.

This time, Reba didn't cause trouble. She sat obediently on the Sofa.

"Hey, can I take a look at those Treasures?" Zhang Dada rubbed his fingers together, speaking with a greedy look.

"Of course, you can. But I advise you not to touch any of the items." Ye Bai cautioned.

"Mhm. I understand." Zhang Dada nodded seriously.

"Ye Bai, when you put those things into the Universe Bag just now, did they really fit?" Zhang Dada continued to ask.

"Mhm." Ye Bai nodded.

"Then, if someone secretly takes an item, would you notice?" Zhang Dada asked tentatively.

Ye Bai frowned and said, "If that person doesn't offend me, I can naturally ignore it. But if they take something they shouldn't, then I'm sorry, I will retrieve the item."

Hearing Ye Bai's words, Yang Mi and Reba's expressions froze slightly.

This sentence seemed to imply some hidden information.

"Alright, I understand." Zhang Dada nodded, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Brother Ye Bai, can I take one item?" At this moment, Reba suddenly stood up and asked quietly.

"Of course, you can." Ye Bai agreed with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Ye Bai." Reba happily ran over to pick out something she liked.

Ye Bai turned to look at the others and said with a smile, "Why don't you all discuss it yourselves? Tell me if anyone wants something."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

After a while, Yang Mi walked over and said, "Ye Bai, could you help us take out your items so we can divide them equally among us?"

After Yang Mi finished speaking, the other three also walked over.

"Are you sure this is safe? What if there really is a fierce Monster sealed inside..." Ye Bai asked, frowning.

"Don't worry. With so many of us, are we really afraid of just one Monster?" Yang Mi said cheerfully.

"Alright then. I'll state this first: I'm only responsible for helping. As for who the item belongs to, you all discuss and decide among yourselves."

After Ye Bai finished speaking, he handed over the Universe Bag.

"Brother Ye Bai, you're so nice." Reba called out sweetly and took the Universe Bag.

Yang Mi and the other four people each selected an item. However, except for Zhang Dada, the other three looked uneasy. Clearly, they were worried that the items they chose couldn't be taken away, because this place was fraught with danger, and a slight mishap could cost them their lives.

Fortunately, Ye Bai's Universe Bag could indeed hold things.

So everyone quickly stuffed the items they liked into the Universe Bag. This sight made Zhang Dada extremely envious. He felt that Ye Bai was being too wasteful. If the Universe Bag were entrusted to him, he could definitely acquire more things.

This thought vanished as soon as it arose. Because he remembered that he and Ye Bai weren't close, and could even be considered enemies. Why should he take something belonging to an enemy?

So Zhang Dada had to force himself to forget such extravagant thoughts.

"Brother Ye Bai, are the things inside that box all yours?" Reba asked, batting her beautiful large eyes.

Ye Bai was startled for a moment, then nodded.

Reba then asked, "So do all the Treasures inside here belong to me?"

Ye Bai gave a wry smile: "If you insist on interpreting it that way, I suppose so. However, I advise you not to move things around carelessly. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you."

"Okay." Reba stuck out her tongue and said.

"Let's go, it's time for us to set off." Ye Bai said.

The group of six continued climbing toward the mountaintop.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, the scorching sun in the sky was finally obscured by clouds. The entire mountain became dim and lifeless.

Not only that, but waves of cold, eerie air emanated from the surroundings.

At this moment, Ye Bai suddenly stopped. He then looked up, his gaze piercing through the thick layers of clouds and mist.

"What's wrong, Ye Bai?" Zhang Dada asked doubtfully.

"Nothing much, I just saw something quite peculiar." After Ye Bai finished speaking, he strode forward.

Soon, Ye Bai and the group of six left the entrance of the cave and arrived at the back of a Huge Rock.

This Huge Rock was very wide, about twenty meters long. It was oval-shaped, with a diameter of about seven or eight meters. At the bottom of the rock was a door, which was tightly shut, its destination unknown.

Ye Bai pulled the copper coin out from his pocket.
