"I think it's more conspicuous when you walk around the city with something like this. Twitching the corner of her eye, the King of the Earth, who was full of novelty like a child who had found a new toy, hurried over two steps, looked around and said with some concern, "You said there wouldn't be any beasts or anything like that around here, right?" In our village, snakes are often seen under the meadows. ”

The door-sized road sign was wielded like a knife in the hand of the king of the earth, and a gust of wind swept away a piece of wild grass, he looked at the clean ground under the meadow, and sighed helplessly in his heart and shook his head: "Don't say it's a snake, I'm afraid all the living creatures in this area have become food for the residents of Hongchuan." After all, the environment here is different from that in the south, and the forests are not dense at all for a short time, and there is no way to provide a hiding place for wild beasts or anything. ”

Regarding the shortage of food in Hongchuan, although the king of the earth did not confirm it with his own eyes, he could guess it somewhat. In the battle plan drawn up when he joined forces with Starz, the use of the blood carried by the blood slaves of the large number of blood slaves of the blood clan to pollute the crops and food reserves on the ground was regarded as the most critical part of the war against the humans, and due to the suddenness of the incident, this plan also achieved quite fruitful results, and the result directly led to the unexpected reconciliation of the three tribes after the war, but the ensuing hunger and the epidemic caused by the consumption of contaminated food also caused about half of the human survivors to plummet。

The King of the Earth had never dared to let the Spear Langinus's machine spirit know, and if the guy who was bent on protecting humanity heard about such a thing, he felt that he would be attacked by the Judgment, and he didn't want to try that kind of powerful magic of unknown origin a second time.

However, this time he came to Hongchuan, and he didn't plan to make the matter of Langinus in his hands public, and he didn't have a chance to hear about it. God knows whether he can leave safely this time or will be arrested by his royal brother, and when the time comes, one more hole card will give him more hope, anyway, the current king of the earth can also guess that if he is arrested back to the northern region this time, he will not escape death no matter what.

took the girl from outside the city and gradually went deep into the outskirts of the city, but the place where he came into view was still a barren, let alone a human figure, and he had not even seen the king of the bird land after walking for a while.

The population of Hongchuan will decrease sharply, which is also what the king of the earth had expected, but no matter how much it is reduced, there will not be no one on the outskirts of the city, there is no living thing in his eyes except for the crooked ruins and broken walls and the flat yellow sand, and there is no other sound in his ears except for the slight sound of the wind, all of which makes the king of the earth wonder if Hongchuan has become a dead city when he doesn't know.

"Lord of the Earth, do you find it strange?"

"Of course it's strange, I haven't met anyone after walking for so long. The road sign used to open the way in his hand was thrown away after crossing the most difficult part of the road when entering the city, and the current king of the earth regretted it a little with his empty hands, and he was a little unaccustomed to fiddling with something missing in his hand, "The buildings I saw before that thought they were resettlement sites are actually these ruins that no one lives in, it's really in vain that I've been looking forward to it for a while." ”

"I'm not talking about that. Shaking her head, the girl raised her hand and pointed to her feet, "Don't you think the sand is too new?"

"New?" the Lord of the Earth looked at her fingers to the ground, and he hadn't paid attention to his feet all the way before, but it seemed a little strange to hear her say this. Squatting down and grabbing a handful of sand, the king of the earth frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, and then he hurriedly ran to the ruins on the side of the road and directly picked off a piece of cement and looked at it, when he looked at the girl in surprise, "Your eyesight is too good, isn't it...... The degree of weathering is completely different, and this layer of sand looks like it has just been dug out of the ground today. ”

I was a little embarrassed to be praised, and the girl curled her hair and smiled: "Because my home is by the sea, the sand and something are very familiar." ”

Throwing away the things in his hand, the Earth Dynasty looked at it from a distance in his established direction, and the colors of these yellow sands seemed to be really too beautiful. No wonder the green vegetation on the ground has suddenly disappeared since I entered the city boundary, not because Hongchuan has become barren, but because this layer of sand has buried them.

In order to verify his guess, the king of the earth immediately started digging, and sure enough, he found solid ground not deep under the sand, and couldn't help but wonder: "That's really the case." But what happened to make the whole of Hongchuan look like this, and even the barrier on the outskirts of the city disappeared. ”

"Did you think of anything?"

"Not yet. I don't know what happened to Hongchuan, but this breath ...... It's true that exorcists are still stationed in the city, but I can't tell what kind of place always feels a little weird. The King of the Earth said and his fingers trembled, if only he could use magic at this time, even if he couldn't probe too deep, he could call out the low-level monsters living in the vicinity and ask for clarification.

At this moment, a cement slab next to him suddenly moved, but with the inflow of sand, the gap that had just been pried open was quickly filled. However, this subtle movement did not escape the eyes of the Earth King, and after a little contemplation, he was surprised to find that there was a person pressing down there.

Without saying a word, he slapped his palm on the cement slab, perhaps because the lower part of the slab was buried by the sand and it was not easy to move, he gritted his teeth and pushed hard to the side, while shouting: "Are the people below still alive, I'll save you, hold on! You, too, come and help." ”

He didn't dare to run in front of the exorcists at such a time when he didn't know anything, so the king of the earth was determined to save this man, and he had to know some things first. I just don't know how long the person below has been held down, whether he was injured or not, and it is very likely that he has been suffocated under the burial of the sand.

Hearing that she was named to go up to help, the girl also hurriedly leaned over, but she thought that she had no help for the huge board, so she decisively chose to clean up the sand buried deep in the board: "You mean there is a person down here? I didn't expect you to be quite enthusiastic, more like a good person than when I first saw you." ”

"Didn't I look like a good person when you first met me......" The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, is this a compliment. However, with the tilt of the cement slab, the king of the earth's attention shifted from the conversation to the rescue, gritting his teeth and really tired eyes, he finally moved the board away, and then squatted down and slashed up, "Are you still alive?"

In fact, if it were usual, a cement slab of this size would be useless to him, but now here, the king of the earth has not known the situation, and secondly, he is afraid of being discovered by a doppelganger who has a different heart, and he can't use magic power, although his strength is much greater than that of humans, but it is still very limited.

The two of them worked hard for a while, and finally rescued the person from the ground. It's just that the person in front of him wearing coarse cloth clothes gave him a strange feeling, and for a while he thought that he had dug out an exorcist, but when he wanted to investigate, he found that there was no problem, so he dispelled his thoughts and asked instead, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay...... Ahem, cough, cough ......" just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he coughed first, the man spit out the sand that had choked into his mouth, looked at the king of the earth gratefully, and reluctantly raised his hand to bow, "Thank you for saving me, otherwise my life will be buried in this foreign land." ”

"Where, now, now is the time for the survival of mankind, and I just did what I did. As he spoke, he looked him up and down, and the king of the earth felt that although this guy had been buried for a while, he could improve somewhat and well, and he should not have been seriously injured, he was really lucky, "Although it is a little abrupt, but I want to ask, what happened to Hongchuan, and how did you get buried?"

The girl also nodded and sat down, raised her hand and gently patted the man's back: "If it weren't for the ground...... He found you, and we might have been wrong. What the hell is going on here. ”

When asked about this, perhaps because he had just been rescued and was a little dazed, the man took a breath and thought about it, and then said, "Is this the arrival in Hongchuan?" I'm sorry, but I'm also from outside, and I really don't know what's going on here. But I do remember what it was...... I was walking with two other companions, but suddenly the wind was blowing, and I watched the tornado from the city kick up the yellow sand, but it was too late to leave. ”

"That's right...... However, are you sure it's a tornado?" Hearing this word, the king of the land dared to conclude that this must be man-made rather than natural, because there is no possibility of tornadoes in places like Hongchuan, whether it is geographical environment or historical records, and it is related to the wind, the first thing that comes to his mind is the sigh of the wind, but what makes him a little disappointed is that this person is not from Hongchuan, and there is no way to provide more useful information, "What about later, you mean that you have two other companions?"

"Of course it's a tornado, and I can't lie to you. As for those of my companions...... Ahh I don't know them, they're the ones I met halfway. For some reason, he suddenly became angry when he said about the people who were traveling with him, and said angrily, "I shouted for help after I tripped and fell, but they ran away without looking back." Fortunately, the cement slab on the side of the road fell down and crushed me, so I was not blown up by the stronger and stronger winds. You don't see that the wind can blow even the half-human-high cement pillars on the ground. ”

Listening to his description, the King of the Earth was even more convinced of his guess, such a strong wind was by no means ordinary on land, and it was Song Chengjie or the sigh of the wind.

After looking at the man's clothes, he looked at the king of the earth and found that although his clothes were dirty with sand, they were extremely smooth and there was no sign of damage, and he became suspicious at once. You must know that you may not see a person outside for hundreds of miles now, and the place far from the city is even more barren and grassy, and you can still wear an undamaged cloth dress when walking outside, even if this person is not an exorcist, he must have a lot of background, and he is pressed under the cement slab, maybe he just doesn't want to move.

"Since you're here, then maybe we're all coming from one direction. Where are you from, maybe you're still a fellow countryman. ”

The words of the king of the earth sounded normal to others, but the girl on the side looked at him with disdain, and said in her heart that it was such a thin feeling that I can put down the person with one punch, and you were still wary of interrogation, and said in a roundabout way...... There are few people in the world who can be good with you as a fellow countryman, if he is really your fellow countryman, you must not be scared to death.

"It's impossible, fellow, although I don't know why you're going here, but I hear this girl's voice like a southerner, and I'm from the imperial capital. The man turned his face to look at the girl, looked at it carefully, nodded and shook his head for a while, and said as he looked, "Tut-tut, you are also powerful enough to come all the way from an island thousands of miles away." ”

As soon as these words came out, the nerves of the king of the earth instantly tensed, and he immediately dragged the girl far away and jumped away to block her behind, staring at the man whose legs were still buried in the sand and asked, "What are you from, how can you see this?"

Could it be that this guy came with us all the way? No, we didn't meet a few people on that road...... No, I met in that woods, the people who attacked me with strange weapons. This guy wouldn't be lying in ambush here on purpose waiting for me to take the bait to avenge those guys, would he?

Looking at the nervous appearance of the King of Earth, the man smiled lightly and said, "I have been chased and asked by you for this meeting, and I don't know where you are from, so I had to look at it myself, but I saw that I was not treated by you again." Don't worry, you have long suspected me, I wonder if Your Excellency of the Five Elements Organ has heard of it?"

"Are you a warlock of the Five Elements Mechanism?" was even more shocked when he heard this, and the King of the Earth felt helpless in his heart. Imperial capital, imperial capital, thinking of how the imperial capital himself forgot about the Five Elements Organ.

"Oh, I wish it were. I was friends with a few warlocks there, so I learned a little bit of the ability to meet each other, and along the way we met for some rations and accommodation, and also used this thing to calculate the safe road, so I was able to come to Hongchuan with arms and legs. Perhaps in order to confirm his words, the man looked at the girl and said slowly, "You must have lost your mother since you were a child, and your father died half a month earlier...... Although it is not a natural evil, it is very lonely, and most of the villagers have not escaped the catastrophe. But it is precisely that calamity, your fate has been exhausted, and although the future is difficult to soar, it is also safe and stable. ”

"Your Excellency...... Who is it?" Hearing that it was not much different from what the girl had told him, the king of the earth couldn't help but respect the person in front of him. Although he was not familiar with the Five Elements Mechanism, he could see through them in just a few seconds, and it was not as simple as he said.

"Me?" pointed to himself, and the man shook his hand lightly and shook his head lightly and replied, "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." (To be continued.) )
