Chapter 138: The Source of the Drought
In the following time, on the road, Ning Qiu walked in front, and the little girl followed closely behind, as if everything was so natural......
The drought in the north has not abated in the slightest.
Walking all the way, Ning Qiu also killed all the way.
Hungry, thirsty and exhausted, the refugees dug out the soil of Guanyin from the ground to satisfy their hunger.
Guanyin soil this kind of thing, also called white mud, bentonite or sweet clay and clay, like extremely crushed glutinous rice flour, is used to make ceramics raw materials, can be eaten, eat to the stomach can stop the hunger, but can not provide any nutrients and energy to the body, just not hungry, and can not be excluded from the body, the body is weak and lacks nutrition, when it is time to die, it will eventually die, Guanyin soil is unable to maintain more than half a moment of life......
Refugees are eaten away by hunger, digging grass roots, gnawing tree bark, and even eating their children.
This situation is playing out everywhere, and there are even refugees who gather in groups to snatch the children of weak women for food, and even more often even women do not let go, and stew mother and child in a pot......
There are corpses and bones everywhere, and there is mourning everywhere, which is like purgatory on earth......
Only then did Ning Qiu realize that coming from the border, it was just the beginning......
He took the little girl and kept walking south, tired, and used the rune paper to condense the tiny moisture in the air, which could not reach the level of rain, but it was no problem to quench the thirst of the two of them. When you are hungry, you find a shady place to sit and wait for the birds in the sky to fly by, and then beat them down with golden needles......
It's not good, but it's not bad......
In the midst of the piles of listless refugees, it is hard not to notice that they are the only ones who take easy steps.
In particular, Ning Qiu made a large water bag and hung it around his waist, more like a light bulb in the dark night, which was particularly conspicuous.
The refugees were like hungry wolves, different from the refugees at the border, completely losing their minds, and rushed to snatch Ning Qiu's water bag and the little girl who followed behind......
For their situation, Ning Qiu couldn't be a savior.
But I also don't want to be dismembered by the refugees!
He was ruthless, wielding an embroidered spring knife, and the refugees who were going to eat people were like mowing grass, and they went out with a knife, and they went down in pieces!
The little girl behind her went from the horror of seeing him kill a lot of people at the beginning, to the nervousness in the back, and then to the numbness in the back.
Because she began to understand that if Ning Qiu didn't kill others, then she would be killed...... These refugees are no longer human, they are man-eating beasts! So, Ning Qiu was right.
As time went on, the land became more and more arid.
There are fewer plants and animals on the ground, and fewer birds come to feed.
On this day, Ning Qiu looked at the sun in the sky.
It was noon, and he had not seen a single bird feather in the sky after walking all morning, and if he continued like this, he would starve to death, but fortunately there was a large bag of water to be prepared, but drinking water would only make his stomach hungrier......
The little girl also noticed what was going on, but she didn't speak.
As usual, she was silent, but when Ning Qiu gave her water, she only drank a little, and her lips were slightly moist, and she couldn't quench her thirst at all.
Seeing in her eyes, Ning Qiu didn't persuade her to drink more, so she went casually......
The sand under his feet became scorching, and when he walked under a dead tree, Ning Qiu stopped, he frowned, and looked up in the southwest direction...... Eyes squint slowly!
There are endless mountains, one of which stands out separately and towers beside it, and the mountain is barren and the sand is orange-red, and when you look at it, it looks like a flaming mountain......
Ning Qiu, who is familiar with Taoist culture and some of the ghosts and ghosts in the mountains, can vaguely feel the heat waves in the air because of the strength and mental power in his body, and the source is this orange-red mountain, these heat waves are not pure heat, but the power of heat, in other words, the fluctuation of fire mana......
Feelings of the drought in the north, or think.
Glancing up at the sky, there was still no food passing by......
Inexplicably surging a trace of fire, natural disasters are understandable, and man-made disasters make people unhappy! Especially when it affected herself, Ning Qiu took the dagger and put it in the little girl's hand: "Find a place to hide nearby, try not to die, I'll go and see ......"
Taking the dagger, the little girl nodded.
Ning Qiu took out two pieces of rune paper and slapped them on his leg, and pointed at his sword: "Thousands of miles of divine travel, like thunder and lightning, the end of the world is close at hand, it can be reached with a snap of a finger, and it is as urgent as a law!" ”
He took a step, and the whole person rushed out at once!
With the light skill of stepping on the snow and finding plums in the fragrant wind step, the speed is simply amazing, like a black ghost on the Gobi!
The orange-red mountain heat wave continued, the closer it became, the more it seemed to be roasted by fire, touching the only more than fifty pieces of rune paper left in his arms, Ning Qiu sighed, he knew that he had to draw a few more at that time, and at least a few hundred pieces on his body to have a sense of security......
He took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it on his chest: "Water God Water God, the Qi of the Five Essences, the Three Realms of Circulation, the Hundred Passes through Jin, the Fire Poison is removed, the Fire God is retreated, the spirit is swaying, the majesty is majestic, it flows into the stomach, the mind is refreshed, the soul is calm, and the urgency is like a law!" ”
There was a sizzling sound on the rune paper, like the sound of water dripping on a soldering iron......
Immediately afterwards, Ning Qiu felt that the burning heat attached to the skin was slowly isolated, Taoist talismans were strange, from subduing demons and eliminating demons to stopping children's night crying, almost everything, this rune paper is the water spirit spell, the effect is used to cool down and extinguish the fire, under normal circumstances, it can last for twenty-four hours, but with the current heat, I am afraid it will aggravate the loss of rune paper, it would be good to have one or two hours......
Finally arriving at the foot of the orange mountain, Ning Qiu's expression changed slightly, and there were also a large number of corpses lying here.
He once again carried light work, and climbed up with the help of the rocks of the mountain, almost all the corpses along the way, not like the bones of ordinary people, because most of them are the clothes of Taoist priests and monks, and there are many clothes like the clothes of the heroes in the TV series, and there are also many costumes of officers and soldiers......
The mountain ...... Sure enough, there is a problem!
Otherwise, what would so many Taoist monks and soldiers do!
It's just a pity that whatever they came to do, they have already failed......
The further you get to the top of the mountain, the more intense the heat wave becomes.
Strange to say, the heat goes up, the cold goes down, this heat wave does not rise to the sky, but flows like water against the ground, no wonder the earth is dry and cracked......
When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Ning Qiu finally felt the most intuitive source of the heat wave, which was a cave, the bones at the entrance of the cave were piled up, and the clothes became extremely charred and black due to the continuous baking of the high temperature, and they turned into countless fragments at the slightest touch.
He urged two invisibility talismans, one for the living and one for the dead, so that neither the living nor the dead could see themselves......
Be careful with the bones under your feet, try not to make any sound, and even your breathing has slowed down a lot.
Walking slowly towards the cave, there was a sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground from the depths, how thick the chains must be!
