The cold wind, the fierce howl.

The sky was swept by wind and sand.

The passers-by were covered with a thick layer of yellow sand, which was the ground in the northwest. It's the middle of winter, but the snow hasn't fallen.

The climate of the northwest is arid, and at a glance, the yellow earth, the yellow sandy ground, and the earth hills. Occasionally, some bare trees shivered in the cold wind.

Some crows croaked in the trees, adding to the desolation.

Bah!

Li He spat out, and as soon as the spit left his mouth, it was frozen into ice slag by the cold wind and fell to the ground with a clicking sound.

"The weather in the northwest is not good, the wind and sand are also big, and the spitting and foaming are ice slag, if we don't have deep qigong, I'm afraid we will be frozen to death directly, and I don't know how the people here survive the winter. As soon as a miscellaneous student opened his mouth, a gust of wind and sand blew over, and his mouth was full of sand, and he hurriedly spit it out, scolding.

A group of five people, braving the yellow sand, appeared on the northwest ground.

Yang Qi is naturally among them.

These five miscellaneous disciples of the Heavenly Rank Academy received the task of the academy coming to the Northwest Realm to exterminate the vampire horse thieves, and they immediately dared to come in an attempt to obtain credit points.

This was a small group, but some of the other small groups were scattered in their own teams, and they did not meet with Yang Qi and the others. In the Heavenly Academy, people are also divided into many small groups, each with their own interests, and gangs are very serious.

"Yang Qi, you are so calm and relaxed, your true qi is much more powerful than ours. That Hua Yinhu glanced at Yang Qi with envy.

By Yang Qi's side, there was always a small qi hood around his body, which was a protective film of qigong to prevent the wind, sand and severe cold, among the five people, only Yang Qi was clean and spotless, and the other four miscellaneous students were all covered in dust.

In fact, they can also run qigong to protect themselves.

Because, they are all strong in the eighth stage of qigong, and they are superb, but they are reluctant to consume true qi so much, unlike Yang Qi's unscrupulous consumption.

Originally, they entered the northwest land, and everyone felt that Yang Qi's behavior was a rash move with no experience, and they must know that the most important thing to come out to complete the task is to save their true qi, so as not to be killed when they encounter a strong enemy.

An act like Yang Qi wasting his true qi for a little bit of wind and sand and cold is simply suicide.

But along the way, Yang Qi has always been a qigong protector, there is no fluctuation at all, his face is not red, his breath is not panting, and he is bland, like a flood of autumn water, which has to be surprising.

They have also seen someone with such a majestic true qi.

"By the way, Yang Qi, we have seen you cultivate these days, but we haven't seen you make a move, how your qigong cultivation is, everyone doesn't know, why don't we practice and warm up?"

A disciple named He Jili was interested in the Tao.

He is the eighth stage of qigong, and his status is not low, and he is a noble disciple in the Holy Ancestor Dynasty. The family is not much larger than the rich people in the countryside like the Yang family, and there is even a supreme master of the life-snatching realm in the family, but he still has to enter the Heavenly Rank Academy to study.

"Hmm, don't worry about that now, I smell blood, it seems that there is a situation, come with me!"

Yang Qi swished, his feet did not touch the ground, he shot out violently, braved the wind and sand a few ups and downs, and distanced himself from everyone.

"Why didn't I smell it?"

The other four miscellaneous students shook their heads, but they all followed.

The four of them flew in the cold wind, and in a short time they galloped for dozens of miles and came to a market. Everyone was stunned.

A huge bazaar, all of them were dead, dried corpses, dark red blood flowing from the ground, men, women, children, and even babies were all sucked dry, and the entire market was looted.

The dried corpses in the place were all hideous, and some people were clutching on things, and their whole bodies were lying on their backs, as if they were experiencing great pain on the verge of death.

In the middle of the market, there are also some wild wolves haunting it, gnawing on the bones of dried corpses, gurgling, and it has become a scene of hell on earth.

Yang Qi gasped.

He stepped forward to investigate the body of a man in the prime of life and found a wound on the other's neck, which appeared to be a tooth mark. was actually bitten by life, and the blood in his body was sucked dry.

The cold wind was whining, and in this bazaar, which was full of dried corpses, the ghosts cried and howled, and the hearts of the people twitched.

A few terrible wolf howls.

Several wild wolves who saw the living people and tried to pounce were killed by Hua Yinhu with qigong.

"It's such a cruel blood-sucking method, I don't know what qigong I'm practicing. Sucking the blood of living people to practice qigong This is a forbidden technique on the mainland, although the practice is extremely fast, ten times faster than ordinary qigong, but all people will kill when they see it. I can't imagine that there are vampire horse thieves in the northwest, and if they are not eradicated as soon as possible, I don't know how many victims will be suffered if this continues. ”

Hua Yinhu shook his head, his identity is also a son of a great nobleman, the son of a marquis in the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, with extraordinary knowledge, he squatted down, blew away the yellow sand, and saw the blood marks of the horse's hooves one by one, leading directly into the distance.

He touched the bloodstains, "These people have only been dead for less than half a day, because the weather is too cold, the blood is coagulated, and there are still a lot of clues left in the scene, such a group of horse thieves, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, swept like the wind, and killed the people in this market cleanly, not more than a stick of incense, we chased along the horse's hooves, and we will definitely be able to catch up with these hateful horse thieves." ”

"This Huayin Tiger is amazing. ”

Yang Qi listened to his analysis, and his heart moved, although he was strong, but in terms of knowledge, all kinds of survey methods, he couldn't catch up with these students who had been trained for a long time.

What he is good at is fighting, and for those who are not good at it, he doesn't say a word and learns silently.

"Since Brother Hua has found out the clues, then we will hurry and kill all these vampire horse thieves. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and they all wanted to kill the demons.

Yang Qi felt that these vampire horse thieves were really a scourge, and there would be no peace in the world if they didn't get rid of them.

At that moment, Hua Yinhu took the lead and rushed out of the market along the horse's hoof footprints.

Outside the bazaar is the main road, and the northwest is gray and gloomy, with mound towering mounds, and occasionally some houses standing among the mounds, but they are also dilapidated.

However, the northwest was also a thriving place thousands of years ago, but then the wind and sand gradually eroded up, and the place began to fall into decay. Everyone entered the northwest land, and occasionally you can see the tall city left over from history towering in it.

Yang Qi and the others went out of this bazaar, tracking for hundreds of miles, and by the evening, the sky was already dark, but everyone was a qigong master, and they could see everything in the darkness clearly, and the sky was cloudy, as if it was going to snow.

"Ahead! is a ruined ancient city. ”

Hua Yinhu pointed to the tall city wall in front of him, "Be careful, there may be masters among those vampire horse thieves, and thousands of people may be resting in the ancient city." ”

The ancient city is located in the cold wind of the night, and the pheasant moat records the vicissitudes of thousands of years ago.

The five of them all restrained their breaths, approached quickly, and found that there was no trace at the gate of the city, and it was obvious that it had been inaccessible for a long time. And there were no horseshoe prints, apparently no horse thieves entered it.

"Lost?"

Hua Yinhu was silent for a while.

"It's normal to chase and lose, these horse thieves come and go like the wind, it's getting late, I think I'll find a place to stay in this ancient city for one night, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning, you see the clouds in the sky, there will definitely be heavy snow tonight, and we can't stand it outside in the ice and snow." ”

Li He made a suggestion.

Everyone looked at each other and felt that it had to be so.

In such a cold and snowy place, the eight stages of Qigong can't stand it to be frozen outside all night, not to mention that this is the weather in the northwest, and the spit and foam during the day will turn into ice slag, how cold will it be at night?

The five of them passed through the ruined city gate and entered the ancient city.

The streets of the entire ancient city lead into the distance, and the whirlwind sweeps through the streets, whining and whining, as if it is a ghost gate leading to hell.

The shops on both sides of the ancient city have long been deserted, and some of the signboards have decayed.

"Let's find a place to ........" Before Li He could finish speaking, he suddenly squeaked, and the city gate behind him actually closed automatically, and the sound was terrifying.

"Who!"

Among the five people, except for Yang Qi, they were all startled and turned back violently. They all had a feeling of being ambushed.

Quack, quack......

It seemed that the crow was screaming in the night, and it seemed that the demon Yaksha had appeared, and the mysterious voice resounded, swirling in all directions, and I don't know from which direction it emanated.

"Be careful, there are weird things in this ancient city, forming a phalanx, back to back. Hua Yinhu hurriedly said.

As soon as his words fell, a strange blood shadow suddenly appeared behind him, fangs and claws, and pounced towards him, and the eerie ghost wind frightened people's hairs to stand up.

The mysterious blood shadow grabbed fiercely, and the bloody five-fingered claws shrouded the head, and the sharp blood-colored qigong directly cut through Hua Yinhu's protective true qi.

The strong smell of blood is a feeling that makes people faint.

Hua Yinhu screamed, and was so smoked by the bloody gas that he vomited, and he didn't have time to react, and he was about to be caught to death by the blood shadow.

"Give me death!"

Yang Qi made a lightning move, and a stream of true qi turned into a mighty wave, impacting towards the blood shadow.

The blood shadow was hit at once, and with a strange scream, it flew out and quickly disappeared into the ancient city.

This is a humanoid true qi.

It was obviously exuded by a powerhouse at the level of the Qi Sect.

"Who?, the vampire horse thief?" Hua Yin roared fiercely: "Your good days have come, we are students of the Heavenly Academy, you demons, come out quickly and die." ”

While he yelled, he used qigong to transmit his voice: "This time, I'm afraid that we are more than lucky, we are ambushed by horse thieves, and I can't imagine that there are Qi Sect-level masters among this group of vampire horse thieves." ”
