The valley, surrounded by a few bare mountains, was like the surrounding mountains, with no grass growing and the ground covered with large and small gravel rolling down from the mountains, and there was not a single flat place.

The unobstructed rubble was exposed to the two huge suns that kept pouring down the flames, and there were bursts of heat, and even the air seemed to be roasted, and everything was distorted as far as the eye could see, and the rubble took on all kinds of strange shapes.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the gravel on the ground trembled slightly.

After a while, the gravel shook more and more, and the whole valley shook, and with the shaking, deep cracks were revealed between the rubble.

Suddenly, the shaking stopped, and everything was so quiet again.

But the silence lasted only a few breaths, and the ground suddenly rose slightly, and then sank with a bang, and a huge roar resounded through the valley, and gray smoke rose up, and the valley was faintly visible to become a huge deep pit.

The rubble on the surrounding mountains was shaken so that it could no longer stay and rolled down the hillside with a clatter.

A puff of smoke suddenly erupted from behind a boulder on the mountainside, and a gray figure burst out of the smoke.

Zhang Xiaohu ran a few steps forward, avoiding the smoke and dust that was still being sprayed, and bent down and kept patting the dust on his head with both hands.

Running out with smoke and dust all the way, the whole person became discolored, not only the hair and clothes were covered with dust, but even the eyebrows turned gray, except for the snow-white teeth that opened the mouth, and the top and bottom were gray.

After slapping for a while, he noticed the roar of the valley, Zhang Xiaohu took a few steps forward, and looked down, the original valley had become a huge deep pit, the ground was still shaking, and the boulders were constantly rolling down.

Along with the boulder rolling, the mountain shook more and more, and huge cracks extended from the side of the huge crater, expanding all the way to the surrounding mountains.

"Not good" Zhang Xiaohu saw that the situation was not good, shouted, and jumped down the mountain in a few jumps.

Don't dare to stay, has been running for a few miles before stopping, when looking back, there is no mountain in the eyes, only a piece of smoke and dust, the huge shock wave made the smoke and dust chase Zhang Xiaohu's footsteps all the way to expand, straight out of a few miles, seeing that he was about to catch up with Zhang Xiaohu before stopping, and there were streams of smoke and dust kept rushing towards the sky, and a huge mushroom cloud appeared in the sky.

Stunned and stunned for a long time, Zhang Xiaohu's face was full of joy, fortunately he came out a little faster, or now he was buried by a huge mountain, no matter how strong you are, if you press these tens of millions of catties of boulders underneath, it is estimated that you will not be able to escape death.

..................

In the wilderness, Zhang Xiaohu walked briskly.

Not long after leaving the tomb, Zhang Xiaohu successfully completed the tempering of his heart.

At this time, the heart beats more powerfully, and with each beat, more blood is pumped to various parts of the body.

The heart, which used to beat a dozen times a minute, has now become slower, often beating only once a minute.

It's just that Zhang Xiaohu didn't know that every time the blood flowed into the heart and then out, a golden particle flowed out along with it.

The original bright red blood gradually turned silver when refining bones, and now that the golden particles appear, it is estimated that the blood flowing out of Zhang Xiaohu will be golden in the future, and I don't know what kind of exercises he is cultivating, and he will even change the color of the human body's blood.

Zhang Xiaohu felt full of vitality now, bent his arms, and his strong muscles were full of strength.

The energy flow to the lungs, the chest cavity is cool for a while, and you can not vomit for a few minutes in one breath.

Zhang Xiaohu saw a small town in the distance, and ran towards it without thinking.

It's been two months since I left Phoenix, because Zhang Xiaohu didn't walk along the avenue, but went straight all the way, and the distance was much closer, but it also caused this road to walk in the wilderness, except for the monster meat, I haven't eaten anything else for a long time, and when I saw the town, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't wait to go over, even if there were only a few pieces of bread, it could improve the taste.

There is an ancient archway erected at the entrance of the town, with a few big characters written on it, Yongxing Town.

Zhang Xiaohu stood sideways, in front of a funeral procession, a four or five-year-old boy holding a spirit card, walking in front of the team in a daze, followed by a young woman, wearing filial piety clothes, crying to death, suona gongs and drums accompanied by weakness.

When the team passed, not far from the town, there was a funeral procession in front of it, a seven or eight-year-old boy walked in front with a spirit card in his hand, wiping his tears while walking, and a mother and daughter were heartbroken behind, but there was no suona to accompany him, only a thin coffin, accompanied by several relatives.

Zhang Xiaohu frowned, and looked at the team in the distance in confusion, what happened to this town, just a few steps, he actually saw two teams of funeral teams.

Walking further in, there was a depressing atmosphere, and the pedestrians on the street were sad, and from time to time they saw white cloths hanging on the doorways on the side of the road.

With doubts, Zhang Xiaohu casually found an inn to sit down and asked for some drinks and food.

"Shopkeeper, I see that there are many white cloths hanging on the door of this town, I don't know what happened?" Zhang Xiaohu asked, pointing outside.

The shopkeeper looked Zhang Xiaohu up and down, and then replied, "The guest officer Xu came from afar, and it was the first time he entered the town."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said strangely, "Is there a difference?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "As long as the people around here know what's going on, only those of you who come from afar don't understand."

Zhang Xiaohu didn't answer, poured a cup of tea, and waited quietly for the shopkeeper to continue.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper shook his head and said in a low voice, "In recent years, there have been monsters that suck human blood in several surrounding towns, and I don't know how many people have messed up at home."

"Monster?" Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Didn't you think of a way to destroy this monster?"

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "Earlier, the town had invited a few body cultivators to come over, but how did I know that after a night's hard work, it would be sucked into a dry corpse, and no one would dare to come after a long time."

"Didn't report to a nearby city?"

Zhang Xiaohu knew as soon as he heard it, what kind of monster is this, it is estimated that the demon beast came from, although the strength of the refiners is generally not strong, but at least they have the ability of the qi refining period, this will even have to be sucked dry by the refiners, it is estimated that at least the foundation will be built and even the golden pill can be solved, except for the nearby city lord's mansion, how can there be any other way.

The shopkeeper's body was a little bent, and he replied weakly, "When the city lord's mansion came, the demon beast disappeared, and it didn't come out again until he left."

Zhang Xiaohu was shocked, it was still a demon beast, and the demon king was not so smart, so he thought about it and said, "Why don't you escape somewhere else?"

The shopkeeper's body bent even more, "There are monsters sucking blood in the surrounding towns for hundreds of miles, where to escape, but, fortunately, it's not staring at one of our towns, sucking this one today, sucking that one tomorrow, if you only stare at one town, it won't be long before the people in the town will die."

"It's not a good thing that the beast gate did"

A drunk strong man next to him shouted loudly, and the wine bowl in his hand slammed it on the table.

Zhang Xiaohu turned his head to look and saw that the strong man's face was flushed, thinking that he had drunk a lot.

The shopkeeper hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked up to the strong man and said, "Dashan, you have drunk too much, don't say much."

The strong man tilted his head and squinted his eyes and said sadly, "Did I say something wrong?"

Pushing away the shopkeeper in front of him, he stood up abruptly and said loudly, "You all know, but I don't dare to say it, this area of tens of thousands of miles is the territory of the Beast Gate, in addition to him raising all kinds of monsters, where are there so many monsters?"

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he gasped, "Are you saying that this beast sect raises monsters and feeds on mortals?"

The strong man was about to speak, and the shopkeeper on the side pounced, blocked his mouth, and said sharply, "Dashan, you have drunk too much, don't talk nonsense"

The strong man was still struggling, and the shopkeeper leaned into his ear and whispered, "Do you know who he is and dare to talk nonsense, if this is a member of the beast gate, you are not afraid of death, and you must also think about the mother-in-law and children in the family."

As soon as the strong man heard this, he didn't say a word, sat down with a heavy butt, poured a bowl of wine, and drank it gurglingly.

The shopkeeper saw that the strong man was silent, so he returned to Zhang Xiaohu and said, "This guy has drunk too much, and he asks the guest officer not to care, bear with me."

Zhang Xiaohu was stunned at first, he didn't understand what was going on, he turned his head and thought about it, only then did he know that the shopkeeper was afraid that Zhang Xiaohu was related to the beast gate, and when the time came, if he stabbed the beast gate, the whole family would be killed.

No longer talking to the shopkeeper, Zhang Xiaohu picked up the tea bowl, looked out the window and pondered, "Could it be that this beast gate really feeds demon beasts with human food?"

If this is true, it is really appalling, but, if it is not true, how could the city lord's mansion disappear as soon as the monster comes? Even the demon king is estimated to not have such a high level of wisdom.

Mortals have no status This Xiaohu has long known it, and he doesn't think so, people always have to be superior, even if it is a mortal who is a miner, there are casualties from time to time, at most, it is to blame that monk for not knowing how to pity mortals.

But this kind of using people to raise demon beasts really loses their humanity, what is the difference between this and demon beasts.

The more Zhang Xiaohu thought about it, the more angry he became, he originally wanted to change his taste and eat a good meal, but he still had an appetite.

Pushing the bowl, he looked up and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, is there still a guest room?"

The shopkeeper walked briskly and replied carefully, "Yes, yes, if the guest officer is full, please come with me."

Zhang Xiaohu was going to eat and continue to hurry, but when he encountered this situation, he didn't understand, how could he still have the heart to leave, so he stayed at the moment, but he didn't look for the shopkeeper's detailed question, and he couldn't ask what was going on, so he just stayed all night, saw the monster, and helped the town get rid of a harm when he had the chance, and by the way, he saw if it was the same as what the strong man said.
