Chapter 464, Barren Land!

Although the speed of the Splitspinal Beast is not the top among the soul beasts, it is recognized as the best combination of endurance and speed among the soul beasts, according to legend, the Splitting Ridge Beast can run for seven days without eating or drinking, for Helianor, who is in a hurry, it is undoubtedly the best choice to support the day and night.

The control of the Split-Ridge Beast is very simple, this kind of soul beast is extremely docile, any person can easily command them, Helianor and the ox rushed up to the Split-Ridge Beast, and rushed towards the Giant Wood Empire overnight.

There was nothing to say all the way, because the climate of the Giant Wood Empire was mild and rainy, and the two of them had fewer and fewer clothes on their bodies along the way, and at the same time, they were very unlucky to catch up with a few heavy rains, fortunately, as soul people, their bodies were far stronger than ordinary people, and the Splitvertebrate Beast would also not be affected by the climate, after five days in a row, the two had to temporarily stop at the foot of a mountain, according to the description on the map, if you want to reach the seclusion of the Xuanhuo clan, you must climb over the steep mountain in front of you, the terrain in the mountain is complex and there are many trees, and the huge Split-Spine Beast is naturally unable to enter。

In desperation, Helianor had no choice but to sell the two split-ridged beasts at a very low price to a group of merchants who were ready to go into the mountain to collect medicine, and then climbed to the top of the mountain on foot with Niu Chong, both of them were agile, and climbed to the top of the mountain in less than an hour, after taking a deep breath, Helianor raised his eyes to look at the other side of the mountain, and at this look, he couldn't help but be stunned, although it was only a gap between the mountain beams, but the other side of the mountain was like another world, where there was not much green, and there were all craggy boulders as far as the eye could see, and there seemed to be no breath of life.

"Let's go down the mountain, our destination may be somewhere in this barren land!", Helenor sighed, and walked down the hill, the ball coming out of his arms, standing on his shoulder and looking around curiously.

The more you get to the foot of the mountain, the higher the temperature in the air, and Helianor even has the illusion that the land on this side of the mountain is like a huge steamer, and the huge heat is constantly rising like steam, trying to cook everything that has broken into this land! Niu Chong has already removed all the clothes on his upper body at some point, and he is carrying two blades bare-chested, sweating profusely and complaining loudly, but Qiuqiu seems to be unaffected by the temperature, and is still jumping and jumping very energetically.

"What the hell is this place, can anyone really survive here?", Helenor recalled the map, and strode forward after finding the right direction, even if the physical strength of the soul was different from that of ordinary people, but in the face of the high temperature here, he still didn't have any good way except to endure it.

The two have been walking for more than an hour, but still did not reach the location marked on the map, at this time the sun has set, but the residual temperature on the ground is still baking people to the torment, Niu Chong is holding a large bucket of water in his hand, constantly sprinkling on his body, in order to cope with the high temperature here, Helian Nuo specially prepared a large amount of cold water in the heavenly space, but this trick obviously has little effect, if it weren't for Niu Chong's super physique, I'm afraid he would have fainted from the heat!

"Helian, take a break, I now understand what an ant on a hot pot is!", after pouring all the cold water in the bucket on himself, Niu Chong sat on the ground, and then stood up violently, after the whole day of baking, the stones on the ground were hot and scary, how could he sit down?

"Hold on, we will be able to reach our destination soon, the conditions there should not be as bad as they are now!", Helianor wiped his sweat and squatted directly on the ground, although this position was not easy, but the hot ground still made him discourage him from sitting down.

"Why didn't you buy some raw meat when we left? You don't need to make a fire here, just throw the raw meat on the stone, and it won't be long before it is cooked by yourself!", Niu Chong swallowed and foamed, and an expression of infinite fascination appeared on his face.

Helianno smiled and was about to speak, but a slight sound suddenly reached his ears, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture to Niu Chong, but he followed the direction from which the sound came.

Niu Chong was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then nodded slightly, honestly squatting in place and not daring to move, Helianor once said that Niu Chong and Lei Shuo are very similar, but Lei Shuo is thick and thin, but Niu Chong is a tendon, since he has decided to follow Heliano, he will unconditionally obey any orders from Heliano.

Helenor moved lightly, the originally subtle voice became clearer and clearer, and finally, in a very hidden corner, Helianor saw a figure, which was not very tall, and was squatting on the ground with full concentration and carefully digging something.

Helenor slowed down, and it took a long time to touch the black shadow's back, the black shadow's attention was too concentrated, and he didn't react at all, as if he was fiddling with something, Helenor paused for a moment, and then suddenly burst out, pressing one hand on the black shadow's waist, but the other hand covered the black shadow's mouth!

The black shadow only heard the sound at this time, he just wanted to turn back, a tingling sensation suddenly made him feel soft, and the whole person collapsed directly to the ground, Helianno's acupuncture hand was precise and fast, and he was restrained in an instant, the black shadow wanted to shout, but his mouth was also covered by death, and he couldn't make any sound at all!

"Don't scream, otherwise, this dagger will cut your throat at the first time!", Helianor pulled out the wolf dagger from his waist with his backhand, and shook it in front of the black shadow, only then did he see clearly that this black shadow turned out to be a little boy who looked only four or five years old, the little boy was very delicate, big eyes, thin lips, reddish complexion looked a little weird, and the most special thing was that this little boy actually had a pair of pale red pupils!

After the end of the New Life Fighting Soul Conference, Helian Nuo had a deep conversation with the other four patriarchs, including Lu Yao, the four patriarchs were very eager for the gathering of the five tribes of Helian, but they were eager to return to the desire, everyone knew that the return of the Xuanhuo clan would definitely not be as simple as the other four clans, in the soul war of that year, the Xuanhuo clan lost the most, and became the abandoned son of the Helian clan intentionally or unintentionally, it is conceivable that they must have a deep resentment towards the Helian clan, and if they want to let them belong in good faith, they will have to go through some twists and turns。

In that deep conversation, Helian Nuo got more information about the Xuanhuo clan from Lu Yao's mouth, according to Lu Yao, because of the characteristics of the Helian five tribes, the clansmen of each tribe will have some inconspicuous characteristics, for example, most of the clansmen of the Broken Gold clan have thick and wide palms, and the palms have thick calluses, which are not the same as ordinary blacksmiths, they do not feel hard to the touch, but are as soft as the skin of other parts, and at the same time have anti-wear and heat-resistant effects; The Tianshui clan has webbed hands and feet, which is easy to move in the water, but their webbing can be hidden, and only appears when they go into the water;

Compared with the other four clans, the characteristics of the Xuanhuo people are more obvious, according to Lu Yao, because they have taken an herb to improve their heat tolerance since childhood, the pupils of the Xuanhuo people are generally red, of course, if you don't take that herb for a long time, the color of the pupils will return to normal, and this is the case with Gentle and Jueyuan.

At this time, the pupils of the boy who was captured by Helianor were pale red, which is the characteristic that only the Xuanhuo clan will have, so in this way, the hermitage of the Xuanhuo clan should not be too far away.

Seeing Helenor take out the dagger, the little boy was obviously scared, he struggled to get up, but the effect of the acupuncture hand was not eliminated, his feet were weak, and he sat on the ground again with a plop, but Helenno's dagger was directly on his neck.

"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions, as long as you answer a few questions from me, I will naturally let you leave safely!", Helianor tried his best to make his voice softer, the Xuanhuo clan's hatred for Helian was enough, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

The boy nodded desperately, after all, he was only four or five years old, and he was already in chaos when he was held to the point of being hit by a dagger.

"Very well, first question, are you from the Xuanhuo clan, and where is your village?", Helenor nodded in satisfaction, and took his hand away from the little boy's mouth.

"What are the Xuanhuo Clan? I've never heard of it! Our village is just ahead, but by this time the people in the village are already asleep, and I sneaked out to catch the tiger!", the little boy raised his hand, and in the small cage in his hand, there was a red insect the size of half a palm, which looked somewhat similar to the crickets that Helenor had seen outside.

"Are you sure you haven't heard of the Xuanhuo Clan?", Helenor frowned, he could feel that the little boy's words did not seem like he was lying, but his pale red pupils were clearly characteristic of the Xuanhuo Clan!

"No...... By the way, the other day I seemed to hear my uncle tied up at the head of the village shouting something fire, but he was quickly gagged, and I didn't hear it clearly!", the little boy tried to recall, but for a child of his age, it was difficult to stay in his mind for too long anything other than food and play.

"Tied uncle?", Helianor was stunned when he heard this, he subconsciously felt that something must have happened to the Xuanhuo clan!
