Chapter 57: The Sea of Heaven and Earth
The journey to the Sea of Heaven and Earth is very long, even if Xie Qingxi and them are fast, it will take a month to travel day and night. On the way to the Sea of Heaven and Earth, you have to pass through Bluestone Town, Blackwater Swamp, and the Immortal Realm, and finally pass through the Valley of Hundred Flowers to reach the Sea of Heaven and Earth.
Xie Qingxi and his party packed up their things and set off, and soon they hurried to the first place, Qingshi Town.
"This place sounds familiar...... Have I been here before? As soon as Xie Qingxi walked into the village, he found that everything here seemed to be something he had seen before, and it felt very familiar.
"Little junior sister, why have you been here, you must be too tired to hallucinate." Bai Lixuan looked at the unfamiliar town in front of him, and thought to himself that he had never even been here, how could Xie Qingxi, a person who usually only knew how to cultivate in the room, have come.
"No, I'm sure I've been here, but it wasn't like that before." The town in front of me was deserted, and the whole town seemed to have been ransacked, covered with cobwebs, tables, chairs, benches, and all kinds of things thrown all over the street.
"Yes, we've been here. Qingxi, do you remember the town we passed by when we went to Bingshan Island before, this is it? Gu Yanzhi looked at the familiar environment in front of him and said to Xie Qingxi with great certainty.
"You've really been here? Hey. Bai Lixuan smiled embarrassedly when he heard Gu Yanzhi say that they had really come to this town before.
"But why is this happening?" Xie Qingxi couldn't believe his eyes, even if the original town was not prosperous, it could be said to be warm and loving. And there was no one in the town in front of him, and the whole town was dead silent.
"Let's go! Let's go in and see. Gu Yanzhi felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a few people into the town.
They went from house to house searching for traces of the people in the town, every room, every restaurant, every corner.
There was a voice in the restaurant in front of him, Xie Qingxi hurriedly walked into the restaurant, looking for the source of the sound everywhere, Xie Qingxi followed the sound to the kitchen of the restaurant, only to see a figure hiding there trembling.
Xie Qingxi squatted down and patted his trembling body, and the child immediately turned around and shouted in horror: "Don't catch me!" Don't catch me! Xie Qingxi held the child tightly in his arms and tried to calm him down.
Several other people heard the sound and hurried over.
"Chubby? Look at me, I'm Sister Qingxi. Xie Qingxi recognized that the person in front of him was actually the little fat he had rescued from the mysterious organization on Iceberg Island before.
When Xiaopang heard that the person holding him was Xie Qingxi, he immediately relaxed. "Sister Qingxi, it's really you! You're finally here! Xiaopang hugged Xie Qingxi tightly, like a child who had been wronged and finally found his mother.
"Ahem, Chubby, what the hell is going on?" Gu Yanzhi saw Xiaopang hugging Xie Qingxi, and immediately pulled Xiaopang from Xie Qingxi's arms to him.
"Brother Yanzhi, you're here too! Great, save the people of the town, since the last time you left, the group of people came again, and took all the people in the town away. I hid in the rice jar in the kitchen of the restaurant, so they didn't notice me. ”
When Xiaopang saw Xie Qingxi and Gu Yanzhi coming back, he couldn't be more excited. Finally, someone can save the people of the town.
"What the hell is going on? Here they go again? Xie Qingxi was in a fog by what Xiaopang said, and hurriedly asked.
"Qingxi, don't worry, let Xiaopang slow down first." Gu Yanzhi pulled Xiaopang over, let him sit on the stool next to him, and then poured him a glass of water. As if he hadn't drunk water for a long time, Chubby grabbed the cup and poured water into his stomach.
"Drink ...... slowly" Several people saw Xiaopang's appearance, and they felt very uncomfortable.
"Alright, now tell me what happened." After Gu Yanzhi calmed down Xiaopang's mood, he hurriedly asked what happened.
It turned out that when Xie Qingxi and Gu Yanzhi were still healing Gu Yanzhi in Qingshi Town, the mysterious organization found out that they saved the people in Qingshi Town and killed the subordinates of the mysterious organization. The mysterious organization immediately sent people to Qingshi Town to hunt down Xie Qingxi and Gu Yanzhi, but at that time, the people in the town hid them in order to protect the two of them.
Later, after Xie Qingxi and the others left, the people of the mysterious organization knew that it was the people from Qingshi Town who let Xie Qingxi and Gu Yanzhi go, so they arrested them all.
At first, the people in the town would still resist the mysterious organization, but later, the mysterious organization sent more people to arrest the people in the town, and the people in Qingshi Town had no way to resist anymore, so the people in the town were captured by the mysterious organization, and there was no news at all.
And Xiaopang is the son of the owner of this restaurant, who was hiding in the kitchen of the restaurant to steal food, and when he heard movement outside, he thought that his father had found out that he was stealing food, so he hid in the rice jar. Who knew that when he came out again, there would be no one in the town, and then he met Xie Qingxi and them.
"It turned out that we hurt the people in the town." After hearing Xiaopang explain the ins and outs of the matter, Xie Qingxi's heart was full of guilt, if it wasn't for the protection of the two of them at that time, the people in the town would not have been arrested by the mysterious organization.
"Sister Qingxi, don't say that. Those bad guys just took a fancy to the special abilities of our people in Bluestone Town, and wanted to train us into pills to increase their spiritual power. If it hadn't been for you and Brother Yanzhi to rescue us last time, we would have been the villain's elixir by now. ”
Seeing Xie Qingxi blaming herself like this, Xiaopang hurriedly comforted her.
"Qingxi, I saw that the child was right, you don't blame yourself anymore. The top priority at the moment is to hurry up and seize the opportunity to find the people in the town and rescue them, otherwise they will really be refined into pills. Mu Ci was even more reluctant to see Xie Qingxi's sad appearance.
"Alright, let's go." Xie Qingxi thought about it and felt that what Mu Ci said was very reasonable, now it is really time to seize the opportunity to rescue the people in Qingshi Town, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the people in the town will be more than lucky.
"Sister, I also want to go together, and I also want to contribute." Xiaopang looked at Xie Qingxi and them with a serious face, and the seriousness on his face moved Xie Qingxi and his party.
"Good! Let's go together, but you'll have to listen to us. Xie Qingxi couldn't bear to refuse such a little fat, after all, he also wanted to rescue the people trapped in Qingshi Town by himself.
Several people set off non-stop again, and they didn't dare to stop. The people of the mysterious organization have become more and more impatient, and the people in their hands are becoming more and more dangerous, Xie Qingxi and they must hurry up to save people.
After passing through the town of Bluestone, the next stop is the Blackwater Swamp. The general swamp quagmire is formed in a damp, soft and muddy wilderness, a black flat land with no grass growing and being soaked in stagnant water for a long time.
The Blackwater Swamp is different from ordinary swamps, the Blackwater Swamp seems to be no different from the ordinary grassland, if you don't have the experience of surviving outside all the year round, you can't tell where the Blackwater Swamp is and where the grass is. And once you fall into the blackwater swamp, it is difficult to get out, and the lives in this blackwater swamp are already countless.
Xie Qingxi and his entourage traveled day and night, and soon came to this black water swamp.
"According to the map, there is the Blackwater Swamp in front of you. We must all be careful, once this black water swamp is trapped, I am afraid that it will be difficult to come up again. Xie Qingxi reminded a few people, for fear that they would lose their lives here.
A few people walked cautiously on this endless meadow, every step was fearful, for fear that if they stepped down, the whole person would be stuck in the swamp and unable to extricate themselves.
"I heard that this black water swamp is very weird, not only ordinary people can't tell it, but there is also a guarded demon beast on this grassland, which is extremely fierce. But it seems that no one has really seen this demon beast, probably because they fell into this black water swamp before they saw the demon beast. ”
Bai Lixuan said to a few other people, Bai Lixuan has been out for many years, and often goes to various places to explore. His hobby is to go on adventures with a few like-minded friends to places that no one has ever visited or that are off the beaten track.
In a place like this, Bai Lixuan naturally has some understanding. And for Bai Lixuan, it is probably not difficult to distinguish between a meadow and a swamp, but Bai Lixuan has never seen this demon beast. For this kind of opponent who didn't know the details, Xie Qingxi and his party seemed worried.
"Anyway, it's better for everyone to be careful." Gu Yanzhi had also heard of the demon beasts in the black water swamp, and even heard that an expedition team arrived here a few years ago, and finally passed the swamp but was eaten by this demon beast, and there were no bones left.
As soon as he was halfway through the road, Xie Qingxi heard a strange voice. The sound seemed to come from underground, like ...... What animal calls. "Wait!" Xie Qingxi stopped a few people who were walking forward, and listened carefully to the strange sound.
Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and then a huge crack cracked in the middle of the steppe. A behemoth flew up from the ground, and this behemoth flapped its two huge wings, and the wind blew one after another.
"Isn't it, really that unlucky?" When Bai Lixuan saw the behemoth in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh at his misfortune.
"It's a." Mu Ci saw the behemoth in front of him and recognized the true identity of this demon beast at a glance.
"Huh?" Several people looked at Mu Ci curiously, waiting for Mu Ci's answer.
"It is a bird that lived in ancient times, with three eyes on its head, but a mouth that is not as sharp as a bird, but has a large mouth of blood. Legend has it that once he finds his prey, he will not let it go, and in the end there are no bones left. I also read it from books, and no one knows its true character. ”
