Chapter 24: Purple Rock Sand City (5)
It had been more than an hour since she entered Ziyan Sand City, and she hadn't found anything except that she felt a little weird, and even the seven Black Ji Army had disappeared, which made Xia Zihan a little suspicious that her decision to come to Ziyan Sand City was right or wrong, all of which made her feel that she was wasting her time.

"There is a situation!" The iron-masked man suddenly shouted, the person had already rushed to a few dozen meters away, Xia Zihan didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly followed, seeing the iron-masked man kneeling on the ground with his back to him, he stepped forward to take a look, and his pupils flickered.
In front of the two of them, there was a pile of white bones, or human bones, and judging from the number of skulls and limbs, there should be the bones of four people here.
In addition to the skull and limbs, the chest cavity and ribs of the four corpses were almost shattered and scattered on the ground, as if the chest cavity had been fatally killed by some violent impact.
It's just that the location of these four bones is a little strange, as if they were stacked here after death before turning into white bones.
"Strange. The man in the iron mask said after taking a closer look at the four corpses.
"Strange?" Xia Zihan also half-squatted down in confusion, looking at the bones, except for the placement of the bones that made her feel puzzled, she didn't see anything strange.
"You look closely at where their ribcages are broken. The man in the iron mask said, holding out his index finger and pointing at the shapeless rib bones that had shattered.
Xia Zihan looked at the place pointed by the iron-masked man, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
On top of the shattered sternum bones, there were faintly four crystals that were about to dim, and if that location was close to the heart, then those crystals that were about to lose their light were the spirit crystals that the spirit of the Soul Rider had turned into after his death!
With the exception of a few spirits that will look for their next owner after the death of the spirit rider, almost all spirits will slowly shrink into something like a crystal the size of a fingernail after the death of the spirit rider, and within seven hours, they will disappear completely.
And the four spirit crystals in front of them have shrunk to the level of half a fingernail, but these four corpse bones have all turned into white bones, it stands to reason that they should have been dead for a long time, how could their spirit crystals not disappear?
Could it be that these four people have not actually died for more than seven hours, and they have not died for more than seven hours, but they have turned into a pile of white bones, and what did they eat those meats?
Also, why haven't these bones disappeared here? Could it be that these four people turned into white bones because their physical bodies disappeared first, and then they disappeared together, which was the bones?
The iron-masked man stood up suddenly, pulled the corner of Xia Zihan's clothes and hurriedly stepped back, and the doubts in Xia Zihan's heart just flashed and he put his eyes on the bones just now.
The spirit crystals on those bones were obviously half the size of a fingernail, but they disappeared one after another as if they had been devoured by something!
Immediately after that, the white bones that began to disappear together did not disappear all at once like the spirit crystal, but slowly dissolved into the purple sand under their feet at a cannibalizing speed.
This purple rock sand city is a cannibal! And it is also a soul master!
Xia Zihan felt that her scalp was a little numb, she had never felt this way when facing those strange beasts and birds in the Four Seasons Forest before, after all, those strange beasts and birds were visible, she just had to find a way to kill them.
But the one in front of her was something they couldn't see, and she didn't even know if she could use the word "thing" to describe what she saw.
A fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly flashed on the body of the iron-masked man, although from the invisible state just now, she already knew that this iron-masked man had reached the treasure jade level, but at this moment, the fluctuation of spiritual power made her more sure, the strength of this iron-masked man should be in the sea pattern, close to the appearance of moonlight.
The fluctuation of the man's spiritual power was not very strong, but it spread slightly, and a faint breath of life quietly spread.
A plant-based spirit?
It doesn't seem to be an ordinary plant attribute, just from the fact that this deliberately controlled somewhat weak spiritual power, if this iron-masked man goes all out to be true to himself, he may not be able to gain the upper hand.
"Spirit-eating egrets. ”
Spirit-eating egrets?animals?Xia Zihan looked at the iron-masked man who suddenly spoke out suspiciously.
The man in the iron mask seemed to be as lazy as Xia Zihan to speak, and directly transmitted his thoughts to Xia Zihan, telling her this information about the Spirit Eater Egret.
The Soul Eater is a plant similar to the egret flower, usually growing in arid and barren areas, growing from the ground, only flesh-like flowers are exposed to the ground, releasing a strange smell similar to the stench of corpses to attract the attention of the spirit riders, bringing them to the vicinity of the flowers, using the arid and barren terrain to trap the spirit riders from the psychedelic scene it has created, and it will release a strange liquid that invisibly penetrates the surface of the spirit rider's skin, and the undetectable spirit rider will turn into a pile of white bones within three hours。
When the spirit rider dies and turns into white bones, the aura emitted by their spirit crystals becomes weaker and weaker, and when it is about to disappear, it will absorb the spirit crystals and rely on the spirit crystals to maintain the nutrients it needs, and the longer the year, the more spirit crystals the spirit eaters will need, otherwise they will wither and die because they cannot maintain the required nutrients.
The Soul Eater is very good at concealment, and it is difficult for people to detect its existence, and can only judge its location by the smell it emits, but once the Spirit Eater inhales the smell emitted by the Spirit Eater Egret, his consciousness will fall into the environment it brings, and finally be fed by it.
Xia Zihan and the iron-masked man didn't smell the smell of the Spirit Eater Egret because they had been holding their breath all the time, and the spiritual power of the two of them had always been highly concentrated, so even if they smelled the smell, they wouldn't necessarily be hit.
It's just that what puzzled the man in the iron mask was that if this Spirit-Eating Egret grew in this Purple Rock Sand City, judging from its year, how could it be that the Spirit-Eater had only disappeared here frequently in the last two or three years?
"Its vintage?"
"This is a spirit-eating egret that has grown into a sperm and is more than 200,000 years old. ”
The 200,000-year-old spirit eater egret may be horrifying to others, but for Xia Zihan, it provoked her excited nerves, and in her lowered eyes, there was a light of excitement that others could not detect, and the ice blue light flowed in her eyes.
The 200,000-year-old spirit-eating egret seems to be worth the trip and interesting...... (To be continued.) )
