The sun hides behind the clouds after showing its face in the morning, and it looks like a heavy snowfall will follow.

Hua Liuying walked on the road, in fact, it is no longer a road, and few people have walked in this direction over the years, so this road has almost been abandoned.

Red Phoenix was destroyed by fire a hundred years ago, and the further you go, the more you see the traces of the fire.

Even if the vegetation grows again after a hundred years, and the fallen leaves cover the ground layer after layer, the remains of ancient trees lie on the ground, and the moss on them is brushed away, and the traces of the fire of a hundred years ago are displayed in front of you.

Further on, the air is getting hotter and drier, yes, hot. Although it was winter and the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, there was not the slightest humidity in the air that the south should have, and her mood was dull.

The trees are gradually thinning, and the mountain forests are replaced by low bushes, who would have thought that in such a place would actually see a desert-like scene. These shrubs are unfriendly, and although they don't have thorns, their dead branches are sharper than knives, and if you don't pay attention, you can get a scar.

Passing through the shrubland, the road is blocked by a dry river with a green belt in the center, and I don't know if there is still an uninterrupted flow of water.

Hua Liuying remembers this place, this is the moat of the Red Phoenix City, but now it has dried up. Jumping down the river, bordered by a large area of cobblestones, she found a spot and smashed an arm-thick stick-like object into the ground.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was not yet noon, but the sky was darker than dusk.

Lin Cheng climbed onto the riverbank and was greeted by a "field". He almost thought it was a wheat field planted by the people around Red Phoenix City, but it was impossible.

It's just waist-deep weeds with golden leaves that mistake wheat for wheat that is about to ripen.

The wind is howling, the thunder is gusting, and the whole grassland is rolling with golden "waves", which is not beautiful. Lin Cheng involuntarily walked in, the leaves of these weeds were extremely soft, like silk, without the jagged edges he imagined.

He ran like a child, and his repressed feelings were swept away, and his pleasure was uncontrollable.

"What a supple bed!" Lin Chengran was tired and lay on the grass, "I really want to sleep beautifully here." ”

A flash of lightning flashed, and the sound of thunder shook the entire grassland, and Lin Cheng calmed down a little. Who knows how much danger lies beneath this meadow! He couldn't see anything, what if there were snakes, wolves, or other dangerous creatures?

Forget it, it's impossible to walk back in. Lin Cheng stood up, took the black sword off his back and held it in his hand, which made him feel a little more secure in his heart.

"I'm your 'messenger', you'll protect me, right?" Lin Cheng said to the Red Snake Mark in his hand.

Lin Cheng walked forward, and suddenly the ashes of the burning grass and trees fell on his face.

"Is there a fire somewhere?"

He looked up and saw that there were ashes floating in the sky, and his heart was not good, he was not standing in the pyre now!

Thinking that night in the cottage, he was not afraid of fire, but he was not sure if it was because it was the fire of the Red Serpent's mark that he was not afraid, in case this wildfire could burn him to death, wouldn't it be very embarrassing!

It is better to be safe, Lin Cheng once again used the red snake mark to ignite all the wild grass around him, and stood in the burning place and waited for the wildfire to pass.

It didn't take long for the wildfire to come in the wind, collide with the fire set out by Lin Cheng, open a gap, and he continued to walk.

"It's a pity!" Lin Cheng felt sorry in his heart, such a beautiful grassland was gone, what a pity! Lin Cheng walked in the ashes, and the wind blew Lin Cheng all over his body with the ashes.

Boom Boom –

Another flash of thunder flashed, and a torrential rain fell from the sky.

"I said that you are really good at picking the time, the fire is burned and the rain will come down, what is the point?" Lin Cheng was dissatisfied, if it rained a moment earlier, this grass field would not be destroyed by the fire.

Lin Cheng washed the ashes on his body with the rain, looked at the burden of beef jerky on his shoulders, and sighed, hoping that the sun would come out as soon as the rain ended, otherwise it would be bad.

When he was cleaning, Lin Cheng felt that there was something else in the ashes stuck to his body, some small granular things. He took one and used his sleeve to block the rain and look closely, this grain is pale yellow and has a hard shell, could it be a seed or something?

If it is really a seed, then this fire, this heavy rain? Is it a coincidence, or is it a pattern? Maybe every year when the weeds are ripe, waiting for the wind to howl and thunder, a fire will be triggered, and the seeds will be born in the fire, and with the rain they will be sown, and a large grassland will grow the next year.

The seeds swell when exposed to water, and are now the size of peanuts. They are preparing for germination by absorbing nutrients and moisture.

The torrential rain came and went quickly, and the fog gradually began to rise throughout the plain, and the rain that had just landed had begun to transpire rapidly.

On the way here, Lin Cheng heard that there were remnants of fire thoughts around Red Phoenix City, and it was because of the existence of fire thoughts that it became dry and hot. It's no wonder that these seeds are in such a hurry to store water, after all, the water around them is lost too quickly.

In the fog, Lin Cheng's vision was blocked, and it was difficult for his eyes to distinguish the direction. The rain stopped, and the wind direction changed. If Lin Cheng guessed correctly, the closer you get to the Red Phoenix City, the greater the fire and the higher the temperature, then the hot air in the city will inevitably rise, and the potential difference in air pressure will push the surrounding air towards the Red Phoenix City, thus forming a wind. He only needs to go with the wind, and he should be able to reach Red Phoenix City.

Suddenly, Lin Cheng felt something squirming under his feet, and thought to himself, could it be that there was something else on this grassland? He hurriedly retreated some distance, and a thigh-thick red worm broke through the ground, looking like an earthworm.

Then, one after the other, more worms emerged from the soil, searching for food in the muddy soil.

"Ah——!h

Lin Cheng screamed and got goosebumps, he was most afraid of earthworms!

"Help!"

Lin Chengdu was about to cry, and the madman generally ran towards the Red Phoenix City with his feet against his feet, and he didn't dare to open his eyes all the way.

The shadow left on Lin Cheng at this time was even greater than the shadow given to him by the pig demon in the inn.

Wait a minute, pig demon? Lin Cheng wondered how he suddenly thought of the pig demon, when did he meet the pig demon?

Anyway, Lin Cheng made up his mind never to come to this place again!
