Compared to the blazing heat of the desert during the day, the temperature of the desert drops quickly at night. It doesn't feel cold, but it still feels cool. At this time, it is still very comfortable to find a sheltered place to rest.

Just look at the moon rising from the sky, sprinkling the cold moonlight on the earth. Tang Xingyou and the others, who were camping and resting near the magic stone puppet, always felt that the wind blowing in the desert tonight was colder than usual.

Standing next to the stone statues that had been excavated for nearly half of the time, Xu Haibao was also thinking about who was building these magic stone puppets here. Judging from the buildings buried in the sand dunes, Xu Haibao feels that this building is more like an ancient temple.

Is it unintentional to put this kind of evil magic stone puppet in the temple, or is there someone who does it intentionally? This style of acting by believing in the demon cultivators is indeed somewhat in line with the tradition of the Biansai ethnic group.

"Respecting demons as a belief is obviously an act of looking for death. So is the destruction and disappearance of the ancient city related to demon cultivation?"

Speculation about the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan is more attributed by the archaeological community to environmental degradation. But in the eyes of many people, if the ancient country of Loulan really disappeared due to environmental degradation, then where did the original citizens of Loulan go?

From the existing ancient books, there is no record of the relocation of the subjects of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. In the limited ancient books, it is recorded that the ancient kingdom of Loulan seems to have disappeared very suddenly. Some say it's a natural disaster, while others say it's a man-made disaster.

Natural disasters, which could be meteorites from the sky or huge black sandstorms. If it is a man-made disaster, it may be a war or a plague. But whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, Xu Haibao feels that there may be some kind of connection with the demon cultivators he worships.

According to the information of demon cultivators provided by Zhu Ling, there were also demon cultivators in ancient times who devoured the essence and blood of human beings to improve their cultivation. There is even a demon cultivation that slaughters the city and refines the souls of the people in the city. In short, the cruelty of demon cultivation is beyond the imagination of the world.

In order to achieve his goal, the demon cultivator is driven by personal interests, and it is easy to make some crazy moves. Hiding in a small country on the border to spread the faith is also a means of action for the demon monks. Will the ancient kingdom of Loulan also be destroyed and disappeared because of this?

The various possibilities that came to his mind made Xu Haibao finally smile bitterly: "Guessing out of thin air, there are too many possible situations." Forget it! Just based on the few magic stone puppets in front of him, it should be a bit radical to imagine that the demon cultivator slaughtered the city and destroyed the country. ”

In Xu Haibao's view, the ancient country of Loulan was also very prosperous in ancient times, and business and trade were also very frequent. In that case, if you want to spread the Demon Dao theory in the country, you should also be wary of the monarch, and there should be some means to contain it.

Anyone who can become the head of a country is not a fool. The existence of such temples in the ancient kingdom of Loulan must have been under the control of the country. Even if the demon cultivator rebelled against the country, it would not be impossible for any news to spread.

At least in Xu Haibao's view, Loulan, which was also a powerful country in the Western Regions in ancient times, has a good comprehensive national strength. If there was a demon cultivator in that era, then there must also be a qi cultivator, and they would not let the demon cultivator be too rampant.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to restore the truth that has disappeared in the long river of history based on imagination and speculation. Fortunately, Xu Haibao didn't think too much, let go of many speculations and doubts in his heart, and finally returned to the campsite.

Just as the group had eaten dinner and began to prepare for a break. Xu Haibao, who was meditating in the tent, suddenly felt that the temperature around the camp was dropping. This feeling of coolness made Xu Haibao open his eyes instantly.

After releasing his spiritual power, Xu Haibao, who walked out of the tent, soon saw the magic stone puppet shrouded in the moonlight. The cold aura around the camp emanated from the magic stone puppet.

"Demon Qi, Yin Qi, This Demon Stone Puppet is indeed very weird! Old Tang, let the special combat team immediately withdraw from the camp and wait five miles away. The pillars and others also withdrew from the camp. Tonight, I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement!"

"Yes!"

Tang Xingyou and the others, who had stayed in the tent before, were still meditating and cultivating as usual, and they also felt that their qi and blood had become a little manic. This anomaly also made them feel that the atmosphere around the camp was indeed a little wrong.

After receiving Xu Haibao's instructions, Wang Yuzhu, a martial artist at the peak of the day after tomorrow, quickly took the special combat team members who followed the training and quickly retreated to the desert area five miles away from the sand dunes. But these people all looked at Xu Haibao and his party near the sand dunes.

Standing beside Xu Haibao, staring at the magic stone puppets bathing in the moonlight, Zhao Ji said with a somewhat serious expression: "Swordfish, is there something wrong with this stone statue?

"You don't think wrong! They're really absorbing the moonlight! To be exact, they're absorbing the moon's air. This stone statue is not an ordinary stone statue, but is made of a magic stone. The person refining this kind of stone statue should be a demon cultivator. ”

"Someone like a cultivator?"

"That's right! True cultivators and demon cultivators are seeking transcendence and immortality. It's just that cultivators dig more into themselves, while demon cultivators practice by some unscrupulous means. Those who can truly ascend to transcendence are all demons who have committed many crimes.

Judging by the location of the stone statue and the outline of the buried building, this should be a temple. If nothing else, this temple should have been built by the Loulan Kingdom. It's hard to believe why those people did this!"

briefly explained to Zhao Ji and the others about the demon cultivation, and the four of them also felt a little creepy after listening to it. Although cultivators also kill people, compared to demon cultivators slaughtering cities and refining souls for cultivation, it is indeed a little too cruel and terrifying.

Just as everyone was staring at these magic stone puppets bathed in the moonlight, You Guangwei, who had been staring at the stone statues, suddenly said, "Wait, have you seen that the stone statue's eyes seem to be moving? Is it my illusion?"

"Jellyfish, you're not hallucinating, are you?"

Hearing what You Guangwei said, Zhao Ji and the others carefully observed, but they did not find this kind of discovery. At this moment, Xu Haibao showed a cold smile and said, "Lao You is right, these stone statues are changing!"

"This thing isn't going to come to life, is it?"

"That's not it! It's just that it's still possible to bring some monsters! If my prediction is right, the Loulan Ancient Kingdom suddenly disappeared overnight, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with these magic stone puppets.

The demon cultivators who built this temple back then were afraid that they had calculated the monarch of Loulan Kingdom. If the golem absorbs enough of the power of faith and the power of the moon, it can summon monsters for demon cultivators. What a calculation!"

"Wait!Swordfish, you don't want to say that the demon cultivator is still alive, is it? Isn't that an old monster?"

"It's not impossible! However, I didn't find any spiritual imprints on these magic stone golems. No matter how powerful the demon monk is, he still can't resist the invasion of the long river of time. If you don't get immortality, you will still die. ”

While chatting with the four of them, Xu Haibao followed You Guangwei and others, and soon saw that the stone eyeballs in the stone statue's eye sockets suddenly fell out. As the eyeballs rolled from the stone statue to the ground, the stone statue's eyes suddenly cast light on the sand dunes not far ahead.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ji and the others really felt panicked. If Xu Haibao hadn't stood still, it is estimated that they would have been prepared for defense a long time ago. Even so, the four of them still raised their true qi for the first time and prepared for battle.

On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who was calmly watching all this, said very directly: "It seems that this time, we should be able to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan." It is a pity that the truth of this history will never be made public. ”

Just as Zhao Ji and the others were curious about why Xu Haibao said this, the four of them quickly saw the pile of yellow sand that had been dug to the side before, and suddenly began to gush out of the sand. This sudden sand gushing phenomenon must mean that something has happened.

Sure enough, through his spiritual power, he sensed what was about to pour out with the yellow sand, and Xu Haibao also said directly: "You four, wait a minute, and have a good experience." I hope those things won't leave you with a psychological shadow!"

"Don't scare us, swordfish! There can't be any monsters, right?"

"Monsters don't! There are a bunch of little monsters! Those little things will be more troublesome for you to deal with. Remember, don't let go of the True Qi Shield. If you really want to let them take a bite, I guess it won't taste good!"

The more they said this, the more curious Zhao Ji and the others became. Fortunately, this curiosity was quickly solved. Looking at the black worms gushing out of the ground with the yellow sand, Zhao Ji and the others suddenly felt that people with intensive disease must have fainted early when they saw this.

Countless wriggling little things covered the yellow sand near the temple. Just when the four of them thought about what kind of lethality this little animal was. This group of small things that seemed to have wings flew at high speed towards Xu Haibao and his party.

Looking at the unknown creature flying at high speed, Zhao Ji, who had the highest combat attributes, said with a cold expression: "Prepare to fight!"

Only Xu Haibao, who stayed between the four people, still said calmly: "This kind of small animal, you should have all seen similar creatures." In the fields of the countryside, it can also be seen occasionally, and many people call it mole crickets.

It's just that the mole cricket you see at the moment is a monster that feeds on yin qi and ore. They have wings and can fly for short periods of time. It seems that the mouth is small, and even metal can be swallowed. And their venom can corrode your True Qi Shield!

If you let them bite you, it will not kill you, but it will make you feel uncomfortable. Where you bite it, it is estimated that the effect is similar to that of dripping sulfuric acid. Feel what it's like to be bullied by small animals!"

For Xu Haibao, this kind of demonized mole cricket is not worth his shot at all. In Xu Haibao's opinion, the monsters summoned by the magic stone puppets should not be as powerful as these powerful demonized mole crickets.

Although this thing poses no threat to Xu Haibao, ordinary people are targeted by this demonized creature, and they will inevitably die in the end. It won't even be long before the mole crickets will swallow up the bones.

Devouring demonic mole crickets with strong digestion, sometimes even the masonry of the city walls can be devoured clean. This is also the reason why Xu Haibao said before that maybe he found the secret of the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan overnight, but he couldn't disclose it to the public!
