Southern Regions, Qiancheng, Inner City.

At the beginning of the morning, the stove room in the inner city began to be busy, and the smoke of cooking rose, and soon the smell of rice wafted out.

It's been four months since the last domain fight, and Sha Wentian hasn't been seen in the inner city since then, although four months have passed, but this little boy in the inner city has always been the focus of people's discussions.

Most of the people in the stove house are women, and some of them are from the outer city, and it is definitely enviable to be able to get an errand in the inner city.

At this time, a group of women gathered around and began to chirp again.

"It's really been a long time since I've seen Sha Gongzi, to say the least for half a year, right?" Although the woman who spoke was in her thirties, when she mentioned that the man was still full of spring, Sha Wentian could be said to be the national idol of the entire Qiancheng, and there were countless women who wanted to marry him.

"What's the matter, I think you think Childe is thinking too much, right?"

One of the women took off her apron, tapped the edge of the stove with the handle of the spoon, and said, "I think you should give up, has Sha Gongzi shown interest in women since he was a child?"

Everyone looked at her suspiciously, she was the one who came in from the outer city, because it was taboo to talk about Childe's private affairs in the inner city, but because the outer city was big enough, it was normal for rumors of Childe to circulate, although they knew that these were not in order, but this woman could always bring in the news that made them stunned.

"Haven't you thought that Sha Gongzi might like men?" the woman said with a serious face, as if she had confirmed the fact.

Everyone looked at each other, and they shook their heads blankly, because no one had thought about it.

"Don't speculate there, if you want to be sure of the facts, go to the Soul Suppression Tower, if you can get in. A woman in the corner spoke, throwing the firewood in her hand into the stove with a look in her eyes that looked like she was looking at a group of hopeless patients.

"Soul Tower?"

"You don't know? Childe was imprisoned in the Soul Tower. ”

Everyone looked at each other again, the location of the Soul Suppression Tower in the inner city was extremely remote, and they didn't know what it was built for, and of course no one would associate it with Sha Wentian now.

"But...... Why do you want to lock up Childe?" someone asked the question in his mind.

"The Soul Tower has been emitting strange cries since a few months ago, and I guess that Sand Boy is possessed by some kind of monster. ”

After a brief silence, the other also spoke.

"I can also hear strange noises recently, but not from the inner city, from outside the city, my house is very close to the outer city wall, and I can often hear that strange sound, not only at night, but also during the day, but I feel that it is a man's voice, not some kind of monster. ”

"Haha, I think you're Sichun, right, does your husband know?"

Then there was a bustle in the stove room, and the day in the inner city began.

Outside the city, Gu Xiaobai was lying on the ground, his chest was rising and falling violently, the pyramid in front of him had completely changed its appearance, the current pyramid was not only dilapidated, but also less than one meter high, this is the result of his four months, impact after impact, I don't know how many times, I don't know how many times I have exhausted my energy, I don't know how many times I have repeated, what I can see is that the pyramid is slowly getting smaller.

At first, each "thorn sun" could only cause a crack the thickness of a hair, and then the crack formed each time became bigger and bigger, until there was a finger thickness, the first pyramid peeled off, looking at the sand all over the ground, Gu Xiaobai finally regained his confidence.

The next three months, although hard, were very smooth, and he was able to peel off a fist-sized tower with every attack, until a few days ago, he actually peeled off a basketball-sized piece at a time.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the ability was finally restored, Gu Xiaobai got up and looked at the "pyramid" in front of him, less than a meter high, it was full of cracks, he decided, today is the last time, this blow must completely tear apart the things in front of him!

Hands raised, the surrounding air flow began to surge, the current air flow is not at all comparable to four months ago, now when the cyclone converges, the air flow can even rub against the ground that is also sand to make a sound, and the long friction leaves a string of spiral patterns on the ground.

This is not the end, the airflow is still surging, like a typhoon blowing in a small space, the clothes on Gu Xiaobai's body have been tattered for several months, but today is finally the end of his life, and the clothes were completely turned into powder by the airflow.

"Crush me!" Gu Xiaobai's hands suddenly clasped inward, and the two cyclones that were already violently rubbing together instantly collided, and a strange smell of burnt began to fill the air, and the airflow that had barely maintained its trajectory instantly became messy.

The red light rose, and white smoke began to rise from Gu Xiaobai's arm, which was the trace of the oozing blood being burned, because the friction temperature was high enough this time, and the blood evaporated the moment it seeped out.

Gradually, the red light turned into golden light, and golden points of light flashed between the two cyclones, and the points of light frantically cut through everything around them like jagged teeth, and as Gu Xiaobai suddenly pushed his hands forward, the golden ring hit the only remaining broken pyramid.

"Bang!" the broken pyramid finally couldn't hold on, and after just a few seconds of stalemate, it suddenly exploded into a sky of yellow sand.

"Hahaha, I succeeded!" Gu Xiaobai collapsed to the ground again, but he didn't panic in the slightest, he had experienced this paralysis countless times in the past four months, he looked up at the sky, and the yellow sand in the sky slowly fell, covering his face with a thin layer.

"I've made it!" roared through the valley.

The inner city, in front of the Soul Tower.

It was the time for the shift to eat, and the three of the guards walked to the front of the Soul Tower, and after replacing the two guarding the door, one of the people carrying the lunch box unlocked the door, and at that moment, he had the illusion of entering the ice cellar.

He quickly shook his head and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, although he had entered it countless times, he still felt palpitations every time.

The tower was dark, and all he could see was the dark figure kneeling on the ground, several thick chains wrapped around his body, and the thick and sturdy sand splints held his head and arms firmly in control.

"Childe, it's time to eat. The guard placed the lunch box in front of the dark shadow, not even daring to look up at him, and kept his head down and placed the food separately in front of him.

"I ...... What about my mother?"

The guards didn't dare to look up, the voice didn't sound like a human anymore, the voice was sharp and strange, faintly like the shrill cry of a tiger and a leopard.

"Sand ...... Mrs. Shava, she went to seal the wall four months ago. The guards shivered.

"I ...... What about my father?"

"You...... Do you need me to help you convey this to the Domain Master?" the guard asked cautiously.

"You tell my father...... Save my son......"

The guards crawled out of the Soul Suppression Tower, leaning against the stone pier in front of the tower, breathing rapidly, and the two people guarding the door hurriedly leaned over.

"What's wrong?"

The guard didn't speak, but his eyes were full of fear, and when Sha Wentian said the words "save his son", something was obviously stopping him, and he would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life.

When Gu Xiaobai woke up, it was already the second day, he hadn't slept like this for a long time, and the first thing he did when he got up was to confirm the pyramid in front of him, obviously, the pyramid no longer existed, all he could see was yellow sand everywhere, which made him happy in his heart.

When he was about to eat in the clearing, the yellow sand that had been scattered all over the ground suddenly began to flow, and soon, the sand formed a human shape in the middle of the clearing.

"Very good, your progress is very fast, I thought you could do it in a year, but now it seems that I underestimated you. That was the voice of the sampa, and the source was the "sand man" in front of him.

"Haha, that's just a fluke. Gu Xiaobai scratched his head with a smile.

"Unfortunately, I can't return for the time being, so I can only borrow the sand I left behind to talk to you, and since the goal of the first phase has been achieved, let's start the second phase immediately. ”

Gu Xiaobai rubbed his hands excitedly, these four are getting better, he can feel the progress of his abilities, I have to say that although Sha Po's method is boring, it is very effective, at least it is much better than practicing alone.

"The next stage is to practice the control of the ability, which is very simple, which is to use your ability to reshape the sand in front of you into the original pyramid. ”

"Huh?" Gu Xiaobai thought that he had heard it wrong, what kind of simplicity was this? He was not a water ability, how could he pile up the sand again?

"I'll give you eight months to fix all the sand in their place with your wind ability without sticking materials, and the sooner the better, depending on your own effort. ”

"But ......" Gu Xiaobai frowned and said, "My ability is to control the air flow, how can it be possible to pile up the sand with the air flow?"

"So use a unique approach, and that method is the key to training your ability control, so go ahead, young man. ”

"Wait!" Gu Xiaobai stopped Sha Po, who wanted to leave.

"What you are doing now, is it related to the guy in Sha Wentian's body?" Gu Xiaobai couldn't forget Sha Wentian's eyes, it was a look that had lost hope, from a certain point of view, it was very similar to Li Wangke at that time, it was a desperate look that couldn't control his own destiny.

"Sort of...... To be honest, I don't know if it will come to fruition. ”

"He is your son, please save him, I can feel it, he is lonely and desperate, he wants to live...... I want to live as a normal person. ”

The sandman in front of her was silent, and after a long time, she slowly spoke.

"I see. ”

After saying that, the sand was scattered all over the ground, covering the small clearing.
