The closer you get to the Huanglong Mansion, or to the area around Beihai Lake, the more you feel that the air is full of dryness.

Several times Ding Yang saw with his own eyes that the withered grass on the ground was actually on fire for no reason.

Along the way, I don't know how many woods are emitting black smoke. And in those woods, all the trees have withered and yellowed, and the branches and leaves are dry and brittle.

A little bit of spark, it won't catch fire on its own in a moment. It burned for a while, but it was inexplicably extinguished.

Even if Ding Yang kept taking out ice cream for everyone to share and eat, it still didn't have much effect. The defeat is only for a while at most, and most of the time I still feel like smoke is about to come out of my throat.

And watching everyone sweat like rain, the saddle soon left a white mark one after another.

Ding Yang knew that this was a state of dehydration and desalination. If this continues, it will not be long before someone will be burned alive.

Even the Flaming Mountain in "Journey to the West" doesn't have such exaggerated power!

However, in such a hot weather, there are still some small rivers around that have not dried up, and they are still flowing with streams.

But when you reach in, you can see that the water of the stream is all hot. Although it is not yet hot, it is about 30 or 40 degrees.

"Is there a hot spring near here?" Ding Yang looked around him, there were many similar streams.

Xiao Da directly shook his head and denied: "What kind of hot spring is there, this is originally a soil ditch." There are some woods on the side, but now the woods are gone, and there are a few more streams, and I don't know what the situation is. ”

"What else can it be, this is the Sunset Cataclysm! Eight Miao Immortals, see if you can dissolve it! There was a guard next to him, this was the deputy captain of the line, and he was sweating profusely.

Ding Yang frowned, and asked rhetorically without replying, "How far is it from Beihai Lake?" Aren't we almost there! ”

"It's not far away, and at most there are seven or eight miles left. Looking eastward, you can see Beihai Lake after crossing the slope in front. Xiao Da pointed in the direction and wiped his sweat with his hands.

After asking a few more words, Ding Yang basically determined the details: "Then that's it, you guys turn around from now on." After a day's walk on the way to come, I remembered that I passed through an old forest when I came, and you camped there, and waited for me to go back. ”

"Ah...... Immortal, no...... You don't need us to keep along? ”

"Yes, the closer you get to Beihai Lake, the hotter it will get over there. Even if you follow, it won't help. On the contrary, it will distract me, and if I don't take care of you, I will just let you die! ”

"That'...... But His Majesty said...... "Xiao Da is still a little uneasy, according to his military orders, he can't retreat."

Even if the sword mountain and sea of fire in front of him were about to get close to the dead man, he would have to follow the Eight Miao Immortal Elders closely.

However, Ding Yang resolutely refused to agree, and instead ordered them to return. Fortunately, the prestige of the Eight Miao Immortals is now very high, which can be regarded as suppressing and eliminating the opposition.

Of course, to tell the truth, Xiao Da and they don't want to die so unexplained.

The military order is like a mountain, but who doesn't want to live if they can live? In the end, under Ding Yang's combination of soft and hard, Xiao Da and others simply borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and agreed to turn around the road to camp and wait.

However, they also agreed with Ding Yang that if Ding Yang didn't come back in three days, they would go to Beihai Lake to find the traces of the Eight Miao Immortals even if they risked their lives. Otherwise, it will not only be them who will die, but the clansmen will be affected.

Ding Yang did not refuse this request, anyway, according to his estimation, three days is enough to get the truth.

Regardless of whether the Yanyang Bead was wielding power in Beihai Lake, he should be able to find out the truth.

It's already so hot right now, and who knows what it will be like if it's seven or eight miles closer. In case it gets roasted before it gets close, where can I reason!

Therefore, Ding Yang also couldn't hesitate, and after breaking up with Xiao Da and others, he simply jumped off the horse.

Obviously, the horse's own energy can't keep up, and the whole body is like washed with water, sweating down in big drops. The horses that used to be vigorous are now exhausted and tired.

Looking at the three horses beside him, they were originally all abnormal horses, but now they were drooping their heads one by one. In addition to a long panting, he kept sticking out his tongue.

Liaoguo Doma, Ding Yang has been the same as the guards along the way. All of them are a combination of one person and three horses, and the horsepower is fully protected on the basis of maximizing the use of horsepower.

After getting along for a long time, I also have some feelings for these horses. Seeing their hard work, Ding Yang couldn't bear it in his heart.

Simply loosening the reins and letting them stay around, Ding Yang also found a woods that was as cool as possible. After setting up the horses, they turned around and headed in the direction of Beihai Lake.

According to Xiao Da, the area of Beihai Lake is not small. Originally, in the years when the water power was the most abundant, it was impossible to see the other 6 places when standing on one side.

However, since the Sunset Cataclysm, although Beihai Lake has not been exhausted, the water area has dropped significantly.

It turned out that the fish and shrimp that could be caught every year by boating on the lake were enough for the surrounding people to live. But now the fish and shrimp in the water have long since died, and the deepest part of the lake has dropped by more than two-thirds of the original water.

After going up the hillside, Ding Yang really saw Beihai Lake, and the sun was shining, blowing a layer of silver light on the surface of the lake.

In the midst of the rippling water, steam slowly rises and rises, creating an extremely rare natural landscape.

Ding Yang didn't need to reach out to test it himself, and he knew that the water temperature of Beihai Lake was definitely not low. Even if it doesn't reach the level of boiling water, it's definitely not far off.

At this temperature, no small bacteria can survive, let alone fish and shrimp. If you don't get burned to death, you will starve to death.

As far as you can see from the water, there are no plants under or on the surface of the lake. The original dense reeds are still a few yellow leaves.

The closer he got to Beihai Lake, the more clearly Ding Yang felt the heat wave blowing on his face.

Compared with before, the heat wave at this time is consuming the salt and water in Ding Yang's body almost all the time. forced him to drink water all the time, and it had to be prepared light salt water.

By the time he officially arrived at the lake, the heat wave was suffocating enough.

Even if Ding Yang could barely maintain his breathing with the kung fu of the Xuanji Qi Lock, it was much more difficult. When you walk up to it, you can clearly see that there is a circular black hole in the center of the lake.

There is no lake around the black hole, and it is basically a vacuum.

Needless to ask, Ding Yang also understands that the so-called "falling sun" should be among them
