Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Devil of the Earth

Pan Long fled for a long time, and did not stop until the ruins of the city had turned into a black shadow on the horizon.

Until this time, he still had palpitations.

"What the hell is that?" he cursed, "What the hell is this place!"

He was really shocked just now!

Not only are those tentacles staggering in size, but they are also incredibly powerful. The metal wreckage of the building was easily toppled and snapped like a crunchy cookie.

If he hadn't run fast, he might have lost his arm and leg even if he was only touched by those tentacles.

Worse still, they may be caught and eaten.

Fools know that there must be a huge body under the tentacles, and his small body is estimated to be enough for a snack, barely a melon seed?

After scolding a few times, his mood calmed down a little, and he looked at the black shadow that was almost invisible, and fell into deep thought.

Desert themes, metal cities, and giant monsters.

Taken together, there is not much to match.

The first thing that came to his mind was an old game about the discovery of a desert-covered planet by interstellar pioneers, which produced a strange mineral that could be used as a highly concentrated energy source and was the core ingredient for a new type of life-prolonging medicine.

In order to compete for this mineral, various forces have launched a fierce battle on this planet covered in yellow sand, countless soldiers and machines are inseparable, coupled with the terrifying giant creatures that exist on the planet itself...... It can be said that every piece of ore shipped out is soaked in blood.

Is it that world?

He thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No, the type of monster and the type of building don't match. ”

That game is very famous, and there are movies of the same name, and in particular, it can be called a world-class science fiction masterpiece, and there are several movies adapted from it.

Pan Long hadn't read the original book, but he had seen one of the movies. The urban style in that movie is completely different from what I just saw, much more sci-fi.

Not to mention anything else, in that series of works, dozens of high-rise buildings abound. But he had just climbed the ruins of the city and looked at it, and the tallest building he saw was only two floors, which was much worse.

And...... The "giant monster" of that world should not be a giant octopus (this is doubtful for the time being), but a long giant beast like a giant earthworm or a giant loach......

In fact, the giant beast hiding underground attacks with tentacles, which is also a trait. But works that fit this characteristic...... Pan Long really didn't want to think about it.

Because he can think of a lot in one breath, but all of them have to hang the 18 logo......

"Alas!" he sighed, looking at the starry sky, looking for the direction of the Earth's axis.

After a while, he found what was supposed to be the North Star, and with the help of it, he continued westward.

He headed west during the day, so let's continue.

With his footsteps, it won't take him a few days to travel thousands of miles, and take a look to see if the world is completely covered by deserts, or is it like the world of Kyushu, although there are deserts, but the deserts are not big?

He walked all night, and when the eastern sky gradually rose white, he finally saw the end of the desert.

It is a majestic mountain range, and at the top of some particularly high peaks, you can still see snow. And as the sun grew brighter, he could clearly see green on the hillside.

"Thank God!" Pan Long breathed a sigh of relief, "This world is really not a whole desert!"

By noon, he had climbed a relatively high mountain.

Standing on the mountain peak and looking out on all sides, the first thing Pan Long noticed was a black swamp.

The swamp should be in the southwest of the mountain range, and the distance is difficult to judge for the time being, so it should not take long to reach it.

There was nothing strange about the swamp, but he could clearly see that on the black swamp, wisps of black gas were rising.

That's the breath of the earth!

"There are really enough hell in this world, you can ......actually see it on the ground," he couldn't help but mutter, "If you don't find a cave deep underground in the Kyushu world or simply dive to the bottom of the sea, I'm afraid you won't find it at all." ”

After the earth qi veins are blocked for various reasons, they accumulate over time, continue to increase and thicken, and finally form the earth evil.

At first glance, this smell that appears to be black is heavy and cloudy, often mixed with strong toxicity. It is not surprising that ordinary people, animals, birds and beasts, even if they only suck in a little bit, will inevitably get seriously ill, and even die because of it.

Countless birds and beasts died in the earth's evil, and the result naturally increased the toxicity of the earth's evil. In the Kyushu world, many demonic monks will even pick up the earth evil and refine it into an amazingly powerful magic weapon, using its poison to defeat the enemy.

In the eyes of the cultivators of the Nine Turns Xuangong, the practice of those demon path cultivators was tantamount to using pearls as stones to hit slingshots.

The refined earth demon is the best material for quenching the body, and if used properly, it can help cultivators improve their physique and increase their cultivation. In contrast, what's the point of just relying on toxicity to hurt people?

If you want to kill someone, there are many ways, so why waste good things!

The way to find the Devil is not complicated, and in general, you just need to follow the mountains. The roots of the mountains are thick, and they often block the earth's leylines and form earth evils.

It's just that the earth demons in the Kyushu world are generally very deep underground, and Pan Long has never heard of this kind of earth demons located on the surface......

After seeing the Earth Evil, he immediately threw the guess of "what kind of world is this" out of the clouds, cheered, and hurried towards the direction of the Earth Evil.

He came to this world to pick up the earth and refine himself, as long as there is the earth and the world, he doesn't bother to care what kind of world this is!

Anyway, no matter what the world is, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't even plan to have any contact with the people in this world.

I, Pan Long, am not interested in ordinary people!

...... I'm not interested in any cosmic people, future people, superpowers, etc.

Relying on the "Little Runner" skill, he walked like a fly in steep mountains and dense forests, fast enough to infuriate the most agile monkeys.

Before it was dark, he came to the edge of the swamp.

When he was still far from the swamp, Pan Long could already smell a cloudy and corrupt smell, he sighed, blocked his nose with something, closed his mouth, breathed against his skin, and continued on his way.

After walking for a while, he clearly felt something invisible, yet rather heavy, flowing in the air.

This is the hell of the earth.

Nodding, he did not rush to pick up the earth, but first withdrew far away, found a relatively open ground in the woods, cut down trees, cleared weeds, and built a temporary camp.

He's going to stay here for a while, and a nice camp can be of great help.

Pan Long had been busy all night, and finally set up a camp, which was surrounded by a fence to keep the beasts at bay, and there were many thorny thorns lined with them. Then there was a ring of ditches to keep snakes and insects and drain the water, and the ground surrounded by the ditches was burned to ensure that no insects breeded. It is also sprinkled with a lot of medicinal powder that can repel snakes and insects to avoid trouble.

Pan Long's tent was set up in the middle of the burned clearing, which contained a fire pit for heating and burning insect repellent herbs. Outside the tents, there is a fire pit for cooking food, and there is also a lot of open space that can be used to build some simple auxiliary facilities to help improve living conditions.

On the one hand, this knowledge comes from learning from the old rivers and lakes in Dingfeng Town, on the other hand, from the "wild survival" skills of the barbarians, and even from the wild survival videos that I watched on the Internet back then.

The knowledge of the three worlds fused, and Pan Long felt that his camp could be said to be perfect enough.

At least the likes of Robinson certainly can't afford such a good camp.

After setting up the camp, he first made a fire to cook, made himself a long-lost hot soup and hot water, and ate it happily, and then lit the insect repellent incense, and slept peacefully in the slightly pungent fragrance.

After eating and drinking enough and sleeping enough, Pan Long packed up his things, put all the important things into the dimensional bag and space bracers, and then put these two treasures into the shortcut inventory, making sure that even if he died in this world, he would not suffer distressing losses even if his things exploded, and then went back to the swamp where the earth demon was located.

This time, he walked all the way to the edge of the swamp before stopping.

In the woods that had turned black, a pitch-black muddy water was churning slightly, and one or two bubbles appeared in the muddy water from time to time, and each bubble exploded, and there were wisps of black breath visible to the naked eye.

(It's so good that it's so thick!)

Pan Long silently carried the Nine Turns Xuangong, condensed the true qi into his throat, mouth, nose and stomach according to the special method, and then opened his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of turbid air full of evil qi.

Of course, he would not suck the highly poisonous air into it, and used Xuan Gong to separate it in his mouth, and after a while, he slowly spit out the impurities from his mouth, and swallowed the separated earth demon into his stomach.

Repeating this dozens of times, his stomach was full of earth-shattering hell. Even though he was blocked by the Nine Turns Xuan Gong, the poisonous Earth Demon had already begun to erode his body, causing a faint pinprick pain in his stomach.

Pan Long knew that now was a critical moment, so he didn't dare to slack off at all, so he left the swamp as fast as he could, rushed back to the camp, lay down in the tent, bit a branch in his mouth, and ran Xuangong.

Little by little, the earth demons stored in the stomach and intestines are carried to all parts of the body, and everywhere they go, they erode the body and cause pain.

This process was extremely painful, even if he had been prepared, Pan Long couldn't help but shout, if he hadn't bitten the branch in his mouth, he was afraid that his tongue would have been chewed up.

And he still has to stay awake in the severe pain, use Xuan Gong to protect the vital points, and control the speed at which the earth evil is eroding his body.

In the camp, eerie screams echoed.
