Chapter 1674: Prairie Fire
Xuanbao and Luzhu walked down from the back of the red rainbow and stood by the lake, looking at the dark green water in front of them.
The wolves stood far away, always on guard, and only after seeing that Chihong Liuyun and the two men did not attack them, did they relax and move farther away, but did not harass them in any way.
"I seem to have been to this place, this should be Tiemugan! But this is the territory of Tiemugan's tribe, there should be a lot of people, why have they all moved away now?" Luzhu stood by the lake, looking around, with a strange look on his face.
Xuan Bao shook his head and said, "Something must have happened here! We can't see it, so let's let Phantom Ji come out and take a look!"
Sending Phantom Ji out of the Origin Realm, as soon as she stood by the lake, Phantom Ji frowned, and said in her mouth: "What a strong dead air!"
Squatting down, Phantom Ji soaked her hands into the seemingly clear lake water, and after a while she stretched it out, and said with a shocked face: "This water is full of corpses and bones, there is no distinction between humans and beasts, it looks like it has been dead for a long time!"
Hearing this explanation, Xuanbao and Luzhu were taken aback, but they also understood why there was no one here, it turned out that those people had already died in the water!
Who did this? Why did they kill so many people? Could it be that it was the entire Tiemu tribe that suffered? Who did they offend? They were slaughtered?
According to the remnants of demonic qi in the dead water of the lake, Xuan Bao deduced that this was the hand of the demons! How many monsters were there, and where did they go now? No one can tell.
There is also a good explanation for the difference that the wolf pack exhibited. They drink the water of this inner lake every day, and it is not surprising that they are not afraid of aura!
"Fourteenth sister, can the dead gas in this lake be eliminated?" Lu Zhu pointed to the lake below and asked Phantom Ji, and said in his mouth: "If you let them stay here, they will be poisoned deeper and deeper, and if they can't die, they will become monsters!"
This probability is actually very low, because it is demonic energy, that is to say, those bones at the bottom of the lake were once poisoned, but those are already dead, so the demonic poison is decomposed by the entire lake and will no longer play a strong role.
But no harm can stand the accumulation of time, if the demonic qi and death qi here have not been eliminated, all living creatures that rely on this water source will either be caused by various diseases in the body by the demonic qi and die early, or they have been poisoned deeply, and their physique has been transformed and turned into monsters!
Therefore, this source of poison must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles! Phantom Ji thought for a while, nodded to Luzhu and said: "I can lead the dead qi to the surrounding area by draining it, at most within a year, the grass here will wither and become barren land, but when the dead qi is completely fused with miscellaneous qi or sucked away by the netherworld, this place will return to normal! ”
This point of demonic qi does not need to take too much effort, Xuan Bao also nodded and said: "Don't worry, the dead qi is light, I will inject the pure spirit into the lake to neutralize the spiritual energy, it won't take much effort." ”
For the dead qi and yin qi, Phantom Ji is naturally more adept, and with the help of the green bead and five aggregate treasure cups, the dead qi in the lake was quickly led to the surrounding grassland underground. Within a month, the grass in this place will wither and become a barren land, and it will not return to normal until the next year, when the dead air has faded.
I originally thought that without the spirit child, it would be more troublesome to discharge the pure spirit by myself, but I didn't expect it to be more ferocious and enjoyable than before, and the aura in the body seems to be endless, not at all like only six or seven percent of the peak moment!
There wasn't much demonic energy here, so Xuanbao didn't consume much pure spirit, and when the demonic qi in the water was melted, Xuanbao also took it.
I don't know if it's a psychological factor, but now looking at the color of the lake, it seems to be lighter than just now. Xuanbao knew that it would take at least a year for the lake to be full of life, and when the grass around it grows, the lake can be turned into a water source again, and it will become a fertile land in the depths of the grassland again!
As for those steppe wolves, some of them will definitely die because they don't adapt, but according to the long-term plan, this is also for their good, so Xuanbao will not feel soft-hearted.
After resting by the lake for a while, with the physique of the red rainbow flowing clouds, there was no need to sleep to replenish his strength, so in the night when the stars and the moon were in the sky, Xuan Bao sent the phantom queen back to the original realm, and rode on the back of the red rainbow flowing clouds with the green beads, and continued to hurry.
Didn't fly in the sky, this grassland happened to be the place where the horses were crazy, and the red rainbow and clouds hadn't run so wantonly for a long time, the grassland in the original realm was bigger, but during this time, because there was a war in it, Xuanbao didn't let the beasts come out of the original forest, even if it was a divine beast that had already recognized the lord, they were restricted to activities around the village and were not allowed to go to the prairie.
After holding it for several days, the current red rainbow flowing clouds can finally let go! The only regret is that there is no one to run with him, if there are horses to gallop with him, what a wanton thing it would be!
All night, the red rainbow and clouds ran in this unrestrained situation, until the sun rose in the east, and gradually slowed down, breathing in the fresh breath of the grassland.
For such physical strength, Xuanbao also felt that he was not as good as sighing. Although he can surpass the Red Rainbow Liuyun in a short distance, if he runs wild at the peak like this for a night, he will definitely not be able to, and his spiritual power may not be able to withstand such a big loss.
After letting Chihong Liuyun rest for a while, Xuanbao did not let him continue to run like this, but flew into the sky, which was more labor-saving, and it would not drag down the trip in terms of speed.
According to Green Bead's identification, it was not possible to reach Tamgan until late afternoon, but this was also a night earlier than originally planned.
Before, when I looked down from the sky, I could still see a few tribes, but the farther west I went, the more desolate it became, and I basically couldn't see people anymore.
And not all of the grasslands are knee-long meadows, there are also some mires and meadows taller than people, there are countless dangers hidden in them, I really don't know how the Dong people crossed the past in the first place!
It's already afternoon, it's late autumn, and the climate is already slightly cold for mortals, and the clothes are all layered.
The grass in many places on the grassland has withered yellow, but unfortunately this is not a wheat field, so the more yellow the grass, the more difficult the herdsmen's migration is coming.
"Look there!" Luzhu shouted at Xuanbao as he pointed to a spot of smoke in front of him, and a large cloud of smoke appeared there, as if something was on fire.
When the red rainbow and clouds got closer, the two of them realized that it was really on fire, and it was not only the grass that was ignited, but also the tent!
It's a tribe, and it's not really a tribe, because there are only five or six tents, and it's probably just a few people.
But the wild grass around them had been ignited, and there were about a hundred people, dressed in yellow clothes, almost fused with the withered grass behind them, all holding sabers in their hands, looking at the fire and laughing.
There were several charred corpses in the fire, and there was a person covered in fire who crawled out of the raging tent, screaming in pain from his mouth, rolling all over the ground, but this outside was also a burning grass, no matter how he rolled, he couldn't extinguish the fire on his body, he was burned all over his body and convulsed, and he couldn't move again for a while!
Xuan Bao frowned, and said to Lu Zhu: "I want to go down to save people, you can't stand the temperature of the flames, go to the original realm!"
Lu Zhu has always been very obedient, nodded and agreed, and was sent into the original realm by Xuanbao. Then the red rainbow clouds fell from the sky and jumped directly into the fire.
Standing in the fire, Xuan Bao felt the fire around him, but these flames would not have an effect on him at all, and when he released the ice aura, those flames were quickly extinguished, as if the flames were avoiding him and kept retreating.
The people inside several tents were dead and burned beyond recognition. However, it can also be seen that not all of them are people from one side, many of them died while fighting the enemy, and they still put their hands around each other's necks when they were dying.
However, Xuanbao felt a sense of anger nearby, and searched all the tents that were on fire, but he couldn't find them!
Strange, is it a human being or what? Where are you hiding now? For the perception of anger, Xuan Bao is not too keen, and at this point, only Xiao Yin can stand alone in the world!
At this time, there were shouts and screams in the distance, and Xuanbao knew that it must be Chihong Liuyun who went to find something!
The group of people who stood outside the fire and laughed were not good people at first glance, no good person would do such a heartbreaking thing, so Xuan Bao didn't care what Chihong Liuyun did, the other party was a group of mortals, and it was impossible to hurt Chihong Liuyun!
Walking slowly in the middle of the fire, Xuanbao looked very confused, because although he felt angry and knew that there was still a living mouth here, he just didn't know the specific location of the other party.
After walking for a while, Xuanbao's feet were soft, as if he had stepped on something, and when he looked down, it was a still burning animal skin, which had been burned off a large part, and the rest was about the size of a small table.
This should be the center of the fire, everything around it has been burned to ashes, and there is still so much left of this animal skin, it seems that the blood on it should have played a defensive role.
But how could there be so much blood on a piece of animal skin? Even on the black-and-gray grass next to it, there were blood scabs that had been burned black!
At this moment, a cold light flashed in front of him, and a knife stabbed out from under the animal skin and stabbed it fiercely into Xuan Bao's chest!
Xuan Bao really didn't expect that there was a person hidden under this half of the animal skin, and this person wanted his life as soon as he came up, and subconsciously raised his head, and his whole body sat on the ground, and at this time, the animal skin actually flew head-on and covered his face!
A very smart sneak attacker, and his skills are also good, after a blow, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, first cover the opponent's face with a beast skin, so that he can't see the situation clearly, and he doesn't know how to defend against his assassination!
The animal skin did not cover Xuan Bao's face, because at this moment, although Xuan Bao still fell to the ground, he suddenly slid back ten steps as if he was being pulled by a rope!
The attacker's sneak attack was completely unsuccessful, and Xuan Bao finally saw his appearance, it was actually a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, wearing a robe unique to the steppe people, covered in blood, but the skin exposed on the outside of the robe was covered with bubbles!
