The road leading to the city of Wangdu Lucun was much more barren than expected, even more barren than the large nameless desert outside the village of Boiling Springs.

Naturally, many people die in the endless desert every year, but for the fierce Shura, only about half of them really die of hunger and thirst, and the vast majority of the dangers that kill people are the unpredictable weather and unique magical beasts that only inhabit the desert.

The road under Qiu Wuyi's feet now is the one that travelers dare not walk alone, even though it is a traffic artery in itself.

From Boiling Spring Village to Lucun City, you will pass through Leiyan Village, and beyond that, there is a crimson rocky wasteland, and there are several roads leading to other places.

Qiu Wuyi couldn't imagine that this kind of traffic artery was a real place of death at first, and left the original Leiyan Village, until Lucun City, the road for more than ten days, in which there was neither water source nor food to supply, and the road from Boiling Spring Village to Leiyan Village was even more terrifying, so the villagers would move forward in the form of a well-nourished convoy after resting in Leiyan Village.

The four seasons of the land of Shura are of little significance, and when they leave the village where the crowds live, the environment suddenly becomes extremely harsh, and there are only blood-red stones as far as the eye can see, and under the scorching sunlight, the stones emit an incredible high temperature, which has long exceeded sixty degrees.

There was nowhere to hide, and there was nothing to hide, and it was this particular stone that brought such a desolate death that the villagers of the two villages did not even dare to use livestock such as gibbons to pull carts, and the only ones who could barely resist the heat were those who had experienced hard cultivation.

After walking for several days in a row, the scenery in front of him was exactly the same, not even a tall stone that could provide a little shadow, the field of vision was extremely wide, and the road opened up by the two villages was also simple and easy to understand, and there was no possibility of getting lost at all, but Qiu Wuyi's heart was already full of irritability.

And irritability is directly related to the weather.

The heat of the sun is heated by the stones, and it is unscrupulously projected on the surface of the skin, so that it does not burn, but at the same time does not allow the hot skin to sweat. Qiu Wuyi's body structure is naturally different from ordinary people, but in terms of various physical performances, it is actually no different from ordinary people, and he can also feel all kinds of pain, but it will not be fatal because of this.

Qiu Wuyi really wanted to find a pool and jump directly into it, the anxiety and lack of water felt in his body were bothering him all the time, of course, it was limited to the level of "trouble", no matter how harsh the natural climate was, it was difficult to weaken the endless physical strength in the body, and the lips and throat were dry and difficult to hold on to after a few steps, although the water carried on the body was very much, it was useless at all, the water could only be temporarily relieved for a few seconds, and it was even shorter than the time required to unscrew the water bag plug and open the mouth to drink water.

So Qiu Wuyi chose to be patient, anyway, no matter how dry it is, even if the lips are cracked, the crack will be restored in an instant, and when it recovers, he can faintly feel a burst of relief.

There are no birds in the sky, no beasts on the earth, and between heaven and earth, there is only a lone figure moving forward, and there are no human footprints left on the too hard rock, but in the endless death, he is a ray of life.

Finally, Qiu Wuyi saw the ruins of a village.

Naturally, it was Leiyan Village, which had been emptied, and all the villagers had moved to Boiling Spring Village, which had been combined into a new village that was ten times richer and ten times more powerful than before.

Although the people are gone, the farmland of Leiyan Village is still there, separated from the red rocks that represent death, the quality of the land in this area has been much better, and looking at the past, you can vaguely see many hills that have not been dug up, which are the mines of the village, and may continue to be mined for thousands of years.

The crops in the farmland will continue to grow year after year, and the real thing is the water, and the water source in Leiyan Village is still the same, which can be replenished by all the people who come to rest.

When you get here, you can already see the forked road.

Qiu Wuyi didn't know where these roads led, he also understood why the villagers' lives were so closed, it was too difficult to travel, paying taxes once a year was probably the only time most villagers had to go out, a few days, dozens of days of the road was simply commonplace, and there was no map or anything like that, if you want to know where a road leads, the only thing you can rely on is the memory of your predecessors.

There seem to be some people stationed in the village, they did not borrow the abandoned house of the original Leiyan Village, and set up a simple tent in the middle of the village, the distance between the tents is a bit far, and even one of them has already reached the outside of the village, which shows that this group of people may not belong to the same organization.

Could it be someone who participated in the Seven Leaders Battle like himself?

Qiu Wuyi immediately quickened his pace and walked towards these tents.

"What's that!huh, are you coming from over there?"

The people in the tent outside the village quickly spotted Qiu Wuyi, poked their heads out of it, and when they saw that it was a human, they put away the initial bit of hostility.

"Hey, how can there be a demonic beast over there, you don't look in the direction, friend, you came by yourself through the Flame Land?"

In the tent, a big man squeezed out, dressed in animal skin clothes very similar to the people of Boiling Spring Village, and like the people who spoke out at the beginning, both of them had no masks on their faces, and they were citizens who were like fake citizens.

Seeing that Qiu Wuyi was also a citizen, the two climbed out of the tent and greeted them, very enthusiastic.

"I'm from Boiling Spring Village, and I want to participate in the Seven Leaders Battle, are you the same?"

If this group of people appeared in the four countries of the mainland at this moment, Qiu Wuyi would naturally be somewhat wary, but now there is no need for this.

"Yes, the two of us are from the Big Bear Village over there, and you can walk through the land of flames, you are very powerful! ”

The sturdy man gave a thumbs up and praised without jealousy, he was also the one who participated in the Seven Leaders Hegemony War, and now he had a hostile relationship with Qiu Wuyi, but he didn't have any sense of crisis and the germ of conspiracy in his mind.

Qiu Wuyi exchanged names with them, and there were four or five people coming out of a few tents a little farther away, all dressed similarly, and when they asked, they knew that they were all from several large villages relatively close, and even a few people from large towns with a population of thousands, and all of them had the same purpose.

If you want to hurry, you must first have a road under your feet.

It is wiser to follow the path left by their predecessors than to grope in the dangerous wilderness, so they will gather in Leiyan Village, although the road from Leiyan Village to Lucun City is not easy to walk, but it is a road after all.

As soon as they heard that Qiu Wuyi came alone through the land of flames, many people expressed their surprise, because the land of flames is also the only way to the desert and to other countries, and many people know that it is difficult to pass alive with the baggage carried by a person lightly, and Qiu Wuyi does not have a convoy and does not have much luggage, so it is naturally very powerful.

"I heard from the merchant that your Boiling Spring Village has now merged with this Leiyan Village, because there is a very powerful guy, he has been wandering alone for more than ten years, and he has put all the exercises, ores and crops he has collected into the village, and the result has suddenly become very prosperous, is there such a thing?"

A citizen asked with some curiosity.

"Almost, the situation is not bad now, there are already a dozen citizens like us in the village. ”

Qiu Wuyi nodded with a smile, the so-called businessman is actually a secret agent sent out by various villages to collect information, which does not have a derogatory meaning, because each village can't guard its own territory and mess around until it grows old, and the citizens who are leaders also need news from nearby villages, towns, and even the royal capital, and merchants are the best people to collect information.

In Boiling Spring Village, Meng Lian used to hold this role.

But can the news of this group of people be reliable?

"More than a dozen! I remember that there are only six or seven hundred people in your two villages, right?"

The strong man named Ah Tu exclaimed in surprise, and the others also looked inexplicably emotional, and couldn't stop nodding.

In ordinary villages, the probability of a citizen appearing in a hundred or more than a hundred people is relatively normal, but the number of citizens in a town with a larger number of people is sometimes not too much, or there may be only two or three citizens in a thousand people, the reason is naturally consumption, there are not a few people who die in the battle at a young age, and the more qualified young people, the more fierce the competition.

"If you have the chance, let's have a war! I'm already in the heat of the fire!"

Another citizen who came from nowhere said half-jokingly that the serious part of this sentence lies in the war, and the joking part lies in the fact that he may not be able to survive in the battle of the Seven Leaders, so even if he thinks about the war in his heart, time is far away.

"How can I think about this now, when will you leave, and will we act together?"

Qiu Wuyi smiled and refused the invitation to war, and changed the topic instead, although it is not bad to travel alone, but after all, the more people, the better, and traveling with a group of future enemies is also a very rare experience.

"Yes, we have decided to set off tomorrow and camp here tonight, as you know, there are no magical beasts in this area for the time being because of the fact that it is backed by the flame earth, and if we go forward, even if we citizens spend the night in the wilderness, someone must keep vigil, so it is easier to move together. ”

These citizens had already discussed the next itinerary, this was a smart approach, in the empty land of flames, naturally there was no need to worry about the harassment of demonic beasts, but after that, it was different.

Qiu Wuyi agreed to go with them, this group of people, counting him, is only nine people, but these nine people are already an incredible and powerful combat force.

At night, there is no one to keep vigil, because Leiyan Village is safe, and it has been like this since ancient times.

In the outermost tent of the village, Ah Tu and his companions suddenly opened their closed eyes and vigilantly opened the tent by a small crack.
