The earth was hot, and waves of air rolled up, and the strong wind stirred up the clothes.

That Dong Taixuan and Huang Gu Xun appeared in the northwest of Daluo Prefecture with a frosty face.

The great drought in the north, thousands of miles of red land, this is already a well-known thing for passers-by, someone has long been on the book Taihe Palace, want to invite a sentient being to rain and dew, but it has been so long, there has never been a little news coming, so it seems that it is not over, in addition to the major cities there is no effective way to suppress the drought, resulting in this area is deserted, and almost all the people who can walk have fled to the distance, leaving only a dilapidated house, standing alone on the land of the north.

For the purpose of Taihe Palace, Dong Taixuan has never been able to figure it out, but looking at this cracked land, not a single inch of grass grows, he was silent for a long time, if the drought continues, I am afraid that in a few years, this place will become a dead desert.

Neither of them were ordinary monks, and although they walked on foot, their feet were not slow, but in half an hour, they appeared on the plain hundreds of miles away.

The boiling heat evaporated the last trace of water vapor on the earth, and the roasted hot soil was charred and yellow, full of desolation.

Beyond the small mound, as far as the eye can see, there is a small village exposed, there is no spring smoke, there is only endless desolation and dilapidation, Dong Taixuan and Huang Gu Xun saw all this, glanced at each other, and a trace of strange color flashed in their eyes, which seemed to be quite unexpected.

"There seems to be something quirky about the village. Aragu said with a solemn face.

With his current Taoism, as long as he wants, he can clearly hear it for a hundred miles, and he has never found a small village, and he didn't notice it until he saw it with his own eyes, which seems a little strange.

Dong Taixuan nodded, and the corners of his mouth opened and closed: "Me is the same, this village is indeed unusual, let's go up and have a look?"

"Good. ”

From the outside, this is just an ordinary village that accommodates hundreds of households, and the dilapidated houses exude a musty smell, and even many have collapsed, and it seems that they have been abandoned for a long time.

"The weather is so hot, the earth is cracked by the sun, and the village still smells of must, which is obviously a little strange, and my mind can't even probe close, I am afraid that there is some imperceptible danger here. Aragusen frowned, his eyes scanning the village.

Dong Taixuan looked around, couldn't help but squat down, he picked out a piece of soil from the soil layer outside the village, and pinched it with his fingers, the soil in it was different from others, it was dark brown, not only with a trace of stickiness, but also slightly damp. He looked at all this, his eyes flashed, revealing a thoughtful expression, and then he said: "This place was set up by a master who was proficient in formations, and the evil qi condensed, causing moisture to spread out underground, and it seems that this person must have a plan to use such a method in the wilderness." ”

Huang Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and wondered, "More than a thousand miles away is the camp of Taihe Palace in Daluo Prefecture, this deserted area, laying out such a costly formation, what does that person want to do?"

Staring at this slightly weird village, Dong Taixuan shook his head: "I can't figure it out, it's better to go in and explore, maybe you can find some clues." ”

"Go in and have a look?" said with a smile as he blinked.

"Don't provoke me, am I afraid of this kind of ghost place?" Dong Taixuan said expressionlessly.

"Then go in and have a look. ”

Saying this, the two walked on the overgrown path, looking everywhere for the abnormalities, the surrounding houses were not much different from the usual villages, but there were no people, it looked a little eerie, but the weeds under their feet were a little strange, many of them had begun to rot, as if they were invaded by an inexplicable breath, and the rest were also bubbling with a withered yellow color, and there were milky white maggots crawling around everywhere, which looked extremely disgusting.

At this time, a pile of debris covered with weeds not far away aroused the idea of the two, and they stepped forward to take a closer look, where is the debris, it is clearly a few corpses that have been stiffened, it seems that it has been some time.

Dong Taixuan leaned down and examined it carefully, and found that these people had only been dead for a few days, and their bodies were still covered with corpse spots.

Several of the corpses were dressed in brocade, both male and female, and judging from their costumes, they did not seem to be simple monks, and the cause of death of each of them was that their necks and throats were crushed, and two finger-like blue and purple marks appeared, as if they had been pinched to death alive.

"It's very strange that the person who killed them, everyone crushed their throats, could it be that he has a special hobby?" staring at the corpse, Dong Taixuan said with a little doubt.

And at this time, Huang Gu Xun shook his forehead, and the corners of his mouth opened and closed.."They weren't pinched to death. ”

"Huh?" Dong Taixuan glanced at him.

"These people have been dead for a few days, but in such hot weather, there is the slightest sign of decay in their bodies, and there is a finger-like mark on their necks, condensing a small piece of blood that has accumulated in the arteries, and there is a yin evil aura in it, which does not seem to be the hand of the human race. Akukusen explained as he fiddled with the corpse.

Dong Taixuan took a closer look, and sure enough, at the neck mark of the corpse, he found a very faint black line, if he didn't observe carefully, he really couldn't find it.

"Brother Desolate Ancient Dao thinks, what killed them?"

Huang Gu Xun glanced at Dong Taixuan and slowly shook his head, "I don't know what this thing is." However, there are very few demons and evil spirits in Daluo Prefecture, and it is so close to the front line that there are some strange things, I am afraid that someone deliberately did it, and the plot is not small. ”

Now that the Xihai camp that Taihe Palace was defeated has just been reorganized, most of the monks recruited have already rushed to the camp, if something unexpected suddenly appears after the army, it can indeed give the Xihai camp a fatal blow in the most important period. These things can be thought of, and Dong Taixuan can naturally guess it.

Meaningfully glanced at the ground, but the two did not speak, but took steps, began to look carefully in the village inch by inch, there are formations to suppress the driving range of divine thoughts, and the extended divine thoughts can only be found around a few zhang, this is still the reason why the two people are not good, if they are exchanged for other monks, I am afraid that they will not be able to use a trace of divine thought power in this at all, it can be seen that this ancient array is indeed unpredictable, and the person who arranges the formation is an extremely terrifying formation master.

"Huh?"

Huang Gu Xun sighed lightly, obviously he had made a discovery, Dong Taixuan looked at the light of Huang Gu Xun's eyes, and saw that a sword had collapsed half of the soil layer of the bare wall of the house, and a lot of rotten beams were placed in a mess, he walked over, raised his palm slightly, and did not see any might, and printed towards the wall, silently turning the wall into a pile of powder, and a dark hole appeared.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, the two of them only felt that a gloomy cool air spread from the entrance of the cave to the outside, making people shudder, this is a kind of evil qi, if a cultivator is exposed to this gas all year round, not only will it damage the Dao Ji, but even the soul will become impure, and even have the risk of going mad.

Dong Taixuan frowned, a pinch of fire suddenly appeared in his hand, instantly dispelling Fang Yuan's gloomy aura, he looked at Huang Gu Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go down and take a look, be careful of what's inside." ”

The world is so big, there are no wonders, no one knows what will be underneath, so it is better to be careful, the two of them naturally understand this truth, because they nodded lightly and slowly leaned into the hole.

It was a hole a few feet wide, dug deep from the soil, and there were scratches on the four walls, which seemed to be caused by the claws of some wild beast, and there were layers of mud stone steps on the ground, which disappeared into the dark depths of the hole.

The two walked step by step along the steps, the pervasive yin and evil atmosphere had not yet been close, they were burned into nothingness by the fire in their hands, traveled about a hundred zhang away, the deep cave suddenly widened, and when they reached the bottom floor, it was already a hidden stone chamber hidden underground, in the extremely wide space, the two were quite surprised, because the stone room actually placed a mouthful of sarcophagus, count carefully, I am afraid that it is a thousand mouths under the cloth, each sarcophagus is one zhang long and three feet wide, the shape is simple, carved with complicated patterns, and it is also printed with the blessing of the mysterious array pattern, which looks extremely weird。

"Whew-"

A fishy wind broke through the air, fleeting, as if there was a ghost watching the two in secret, Dong Taixuan's eyes glanced at it, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he took a step forward, and the bright golden light of his palm was suddenly imprinted towards a sarcophagus.

"Whew-"

The sound of breaking the air rose again, and a huge phantom suddenly emerged, swept by a fishy wind, and swept towards the two, as if to prevent him from destroying the sarcophagus, this Dong Taixuan's expression remained unchanged, but the golden palm was directly imprinted on the sarcophagus, and in an instant, the formation pattern shattered, and the sarcophagus was annihilated into powder, but the things inside did not hurt a single point, and they were exposed.

"Bang-"

The huge phantom flew upside down ten times faster than when it came, making a burst of bones shattering, hitting the rock wall blessed by the formation, smashing a piece of bluestone, and it let out an unusually piercing scream, falling to the ground and twitching and struggling.

Retracted his palm, staring at this huge monster, Dong Taixuan flashed a trace of color, this monster is like a human shape, but the volume is extremely bloated, at least a thousand catties of weight, it has four arms, the fingers have already degenerated into steel-like limbs, a snake tail appears under the feet, cracks appear on the pale skin, wisps of blue blood gush out of it, and an ugly face can be clearly seen on the distorted facial features.

"This thing ......" the Araku Xun blinked, as if thinking of something.."How does it look like the legendary Arashi Banshee?"

The Wasteland Banshee is naturally not as ugly as the monster in front of her, this thing seems to be an incomplete body with a deformed deformity, but some details are roughly the same as the legendary Wasteland Banshee.

It's just that how could this banshee, who never left the wasteland, appear to be here, as if she was guarding this underground stone chamber. Huang Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and was silent for a long time, but the doubts in his heart were even more incomprehensible.

Dong Taixuan, who was checking the things in the sarcophagus on the side, also frowned, slowly stood up, turned to stare at the wailing monster under the wall, and a strange color appeared in his eyes......... Wasteland Banshee?"

"You think it looks like a banshee in the Wasteland, too?" Araku Xun blinked, a little surprised... ”

"This thing is too ugly, although it is similar to the Banshee of the Wasteland, but the difference is huge. Dong Taixuan frowned and said,

At this time, the monster in front of him was no longer happy, Dong Taixuan stared at it carefully, and also looked at it for a long time, as if he was slightly thoughtful, after a moment of slight silence, he waved his big hand, and burst out of a brilliant Xuanguang, smashing the banshee's head to pieces, and a piece of scarlet flesh splashed out, glowing with a trace of blue blood.

With a casual move, an emerald green bead was taken out of a pile of minced flesh and floated in the air of the stone chamber.

"Hiss......"

Looking at this bead, Huang Gu Xun suddenly gasped, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

"You know this?"

Looking at Dong Taixuan's inquiry, Huang Gu was stunned for a long time before he nodded, but a complicated color flashed in his eyes.

After a long time of silence, he said: "When I went out with my master to practice, I once met a strange man in Beihai, he put this thing into the mind of a whale, and it was able to temporarily drive the whale, that person found us at the time, just snorted coldly, my master and I were shocked and flew out, seriously injured, fortunately, the person did not have a murderous intention, and my master and apprentice were fortunate to return to Daluozhou, but I didn't expect to see this thing again after many years!"

"The one I saw, though, was exactly the same as this one, but much larger than this one. This matter seemed to be very deeply reflected in the mind of the Aragu Xun, and he recalled for a moment and continued.

"Oh?" Dong Taixuan's eyes flickered, and his expression was slightly thoughtful.

He stared at the emerald green bead, but it was the size of a fist, and it seemed that there seemed to be a layer of water flowing on the surface, which was obviously not ordinary.

"Beihai, beasts, control, Taihe Palace......" Dong Taixuan frowned, as if he had thought of something...
