Chapter 413: Origin
"Well said, well said. Zhou Xiang's attitude was unexpectedly good, and when he heard the sound, he immediately let go of the sword in his hand.
"Thank you, little friend. Elder Gui smiled politely, and after a pause, he continued to speak: "You should also know that there are many dangers in the ancient tomb, and one more person has more guarantees, I wonder if you are interested in traveling with us?"
After all, we are all disciples of the ten major sects, and we are all our own people. ”
"Naturally, we'd love to. Zhou Xiang didn't wait for others to answer, and spoke first: "How can we refuse to be able to walk with an elder? However, it is better for me to lead the way for a while, after all, I am still good at visiting tombs." ”
"Oh?" Elder Gui's face flashed a strange color, and then he nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll bother Xiaoyou." ”
"You're welcome. Zhou Xiang waved his hand, walked to the front first and began to lead the way.
Zheng Shiyi followed behind, looking at the innocent look on Zhou Xiang's face, he laughed secretly in his heart, this Zhou Xiang can also pretend, obviously Zhou Xiang is in trouble, and then found that someone sent them to the door and used these people as cannon fodder.
Pity those people, I'm afraid they still think that they and others are their cannon fodder at this time.
In the crowd, Tao Jinming and Elder Gui walked last, looked around, and after finding that no one was paying attention to this side, he asked in a puzzled whisper, "Elder, why is it so easy to let them go?"
"Stupid!" Elder Gui showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face when he heard this, and glared at Tao Jinming in front of him and said coldly, "Do you still think that the other party is holding your long sword because of luck?"
Do you think that the other party is a disciple of the Xuanying Sect and you can do whatever you want? Those people are not as simple as you think, especially those dozen or so soldiers, they are clearly veterans in the army.
We already have few people, and if we forcibly do something with them, we will lose even more. Don't forget that the purpose of our entry here is to find treasure, not to fight against people.
Now that we are short of cannon fodder to explore the way ahead, it is only fitting to let these people be cannon fodder!"
"I see, Elder Gao Ming!" Tao Jinming finally understood.
Everyone walked all the way, slowly, but the temperature around them was getting higher and higher, and the sand under their feet was like a burning charcoal fire, and after walking for a while, the soles of their shoes were almost completely burned.
The sky above his head was shrouded in a thick black gas, and the light between heaven and earth was much dimmer, and the blue lightning, like an iron whip, raged throughout the sky.
The wind was raging all around, and the cries of ghosts from the abyss echoed in the distance.
"This ...... Why did the weather suddenly become like this?"
"It's too hot, we can't find any more water, we're all going to die!"
"This way, is it right?"
Everyone walked all the way, and some people complained a few times at first, but slowly, the corners of everyone's mouths were dry and cracked due to lack of water, and they felt like their throats were smoking when they spoke, and slowly, no one spoke again.
Suddenly, in the distance, a whining sound came, slowly more and more sounds, everyone finally saw clearly, in the distance, there was a huge tornado, this tornado, as if bordering heaven and earth, with its rotation, the sky was full of yellow sand rolled up.
In the distance, strange beasts several feet tall were suddenly swept into the range where the tornado was, rolled up high with the wind, accompanied by a scream, and red blood, liver, and minced meat were ground together, spinning with the wind.
"As soon as the alien beast stepped into that area, it was sucked away, and in an instant, it was ground into meat sauce. ”
"What a scary tornado, fortunately, it seems that the tornado can't move. ”
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, turned their eyes, and looked at the other side, but their eyes suddenly widened!
In the midst of the golden desert, there is a piece of turquoise.
Oasis!
"It's an oasis, and we've finally seen an oasis!"
"Oasis, it's just, those strange beasts ......"
Around the oasis, strange beasts were gathering rapidly over there, and among them, at the forefront was a strange beast more than ten zhang long, covered with spikes, exuding purple.
As if he was afraid of being robbed of something by other strange beasts, he opened his mouth and spewed out a flame, and in an instant, a sea of fire filled the sky, and around him, several strange beasts that looked similar to him were instantly burned to ashes by this sea of fire.
"This ...... This is the legendary Purple Spray Cloud Beast?
"Just a random mouthful of flames erupted, and the alien beast more than ten zhang long was instantly burned to ashes!"
"Looks like we're not going to get a chance to drink water!"
The purple electric cloud beast slowly walked to the river, its mouth opened, and the water in the river flew towards its mouth like a fountain, and the river water continued to rush into its body, but its stomach did not swell up a little, but dried up at a very fast speed.
"The water, there must be something wrong with the river water it drinks!" the crowd quickly understood.
The Purple Spray Cloud Beast seemed to understand the reason, it struggled to shut its mouth, but found that its body was uncontrollable, and as the river rushed into his body uncontrollably, its body shriveled faster and faster, but in a moment, its originally huge body had turned into a shriveled skin.
All around, when the strange beasts saw this, they turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly a suction force came from the water, pulling the nearby strange beasts into the water.
The river, which had seemed to be calm, suddenly burst into countless bubbles, like boiling water, and kept rolling.
Slowly, shriveled skins flew out of the river.
"This ...... This river will also actively absorb foreign beasts!"
"These are all strange beasts just now, so all the kung fu has turned into skin!"
"What the hell is this place! The tornado is powerful, and now even ****** oasis is so terrifying! What kind of bird place is this!" Tao Jinming couldn't help but scold anymore.
All around, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect also scolded when they heard this.
Zhou Xiang frowned, and hurriedly turned to look at Tao Jinming and said: "This is the tomb of the Martial Saint, there is the curse of the Martial Saint, if you don't want to die, shut up." ”
"Cursed, kid is crazy. I don't know how many years it has been since the martial saint died, what if Lao Tzu scolded him!" Tao Jinming glared at Zhou Xiang as if he was a fool, and then scolded loudly: "Lao Tzu is going to scold what's wrong, this bird place."
Also curse, what kind of bird martial saint died, you have the ability to curse Lao Tzu now!"
Zheng Shiyi looked at Tao Jinming, who was yelling like a scoundrel, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was just about to make a move, but Zhou Xiang's hand on the side reached over and grabbed his hand.
"Don't do it, old ten, there is really a curse here, and it is even more troublesome to be contaminated with murderous aura. Zhou Xiang looked at Zheng Shiyi and shook his head vigorously, although he also wanted to kill the barking dog, but he couldn't, because the consequences would be more serious.
"It's really troublesome, I knew it was like this, it was better not to have these cannon fodder at that time. Zheng Shiyi sighed helplessly and walked away.
Although the surrounding environment seemed to be getting worse and worse, under the leadership of Zhou Xiang, there was no major danger along the way, and everyone still consciously followed behind Zhou Xiang and continued to be led by Zhou Xiang.
Walking here, there are always endless mountains in front of you, with no end in sight. Tornado sand and oasis are always on their left and right, it feels like following them forward, they can never go beyond them, and after a long time, it will even give them the feeling that they have been standing still.
Dead trees that have been scorched black by lightning, cacti that are more than ten meters tall and covered in thorns, and gophers that jump out of the sand and quickly dive into the ground are constantly passing in front of their eyes.
Under their noses, there was an endless stretch of smooth sandy roads that had not been trodden, and behind them were rows of footprints of different shades left by their trodden.
Greedy Wolf Peak always stands in the clearest place, like the light of fire in the night. I don't know how long it will take to get there, but I believe that if we keep moving forward, we will get there one day.
A day has passed, and the Greedy Wolf Peak is still so far away from everyone, the difference is the changing scenery back and forth.
Two days have passed, and everything is still the same, even the scenery encountered is repeating the previous one.
Three days had passed, and Greedy Wolf Peak was still so far away, as if it would never be possible to reach that place. The only difference is that the crowd has changed from the previous chest and head up, to bent over and holding weapons, walking forward step by step.
The complaints in the team have disappeared, and there may only be one or two sentences a day, not because they don't want to complain, but because everyone understands that in this situation, the best way is to be silent to conserve their strength.
In three days, they were even numb, that is, they knew that they had been walking with Zhou Xiang in front of them.
Slowly, walking and walking, Zhou Xiang suddenly stopped and looked at the front of him in a daze.
Footprints, there are footprints in front of me!
A few of them were the first to enter here, and it was impossible for anyone to leave footprints here, and they were still in front of them and others.
What's more, why didn't I see footprints before, but I only saw footprints today!
These footprints can only explain one reason, I am waiting for others, and I have returned to the original point!
"Why did you stop all of a sudden, what's wrong?"
Everyone in the rear looked at Zhou Xiang, who suddenly stopped, and after a dull day, they finally made a sound.
"We seem to be coming back. Zhou Xiang stretched out his finger helplessly and pointed to the footprints in front of him.
"What? I'm back!" Behind them, the faces of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect changed dramatically when they heard the sound, and they rushed over one after another, looking in the direction that Zhou Xiang was pointing
Footprints...... It's really footprints, and we're really back to square one ourselves.
I and the others have walked here for so long and suffered so many sins, and in the end, everything was in vain!
"You...... Boy, you're fooling us!"
"You don't know the way, why do you have to lead the way! I wonder why you haven't encountered danger these days, so you have been walking where you are!"
"If you had known, you would have killed these guys, what's the use of keeping them?
All around, a group of disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect surrounded Zhou Xiang, drew their weapons in their hands, and looked at Zhou Xiang with an angry face.
