Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Squad Converges
Finally, the people could not stand it, and they secretly left the sand city to go out to find food, only to see the fire burning people wandering outside.
When they heard of the ferocity of the burning of the people, they were so frightened that they retreated back to the city.
But this is still not a solution, they are all hungry and thin, and if there is no food, they will definitely starve to death.
Since both sides ended up dying, it was better to fight for their lives, and in the end they decided to gather a few dozen people to go out together and take the risk of bringing food back.
The idea was good, but they were no match for the burning of people, and every time the warriors who went out all died outside, never to return.
Such days did not last long, and the calm was soon broken.
There was a man who managed to escape the fire outside the city, and got food in the oasis, he was the hope of all, he had to bring the food in, he went out and came back smoothly.
But he didn't know that when he slipped in through the side door, he was only focused on the home in front of him, and didn't notice the burning man who was following him.
He put the fire in and burned people.
Although only one was put in, a burning person is not something that ordinary people who are powerless can deal with.
The burner took all the people in the city as his prey, and he went in one house after another, and every time he entered, the whole house was destroyed.
Many people in Sand City died in this one-sided battle.
On the day Song Shiyin and the others came, it was the fifth day after the tragedy, and everyone in every family hid as much as possible, and no one dared to go out, so the side door that put the people into the fire was always open.
It's like a vicious circle, where the burners call out for their companions, and more and more burners come to the city, and the people are even more disadvantaged.
And the woman they saw today was an aunt who usually took care of the children, because of the shortage of food, every family needed someone to go out to find food, but they also had children to take care of.
Someone came up with a way to send the children to a family during the day, get together, and take turns choosing people to take care of them, while their parents had to pay for them.
No one thought that the catastrophe would come suddenly, and the children had been here for five days, their parents dead, wounded, missing, and never seen again.
Now, the only person who took care of them also died at the hands of the burners.
Song Shiyin and the others finally figured out the situation, but they didn't expect the residents of Shacheng to go through so many things.
The little sister only knew so much, and Song Shiyin asked a few more questions, such as where did the fire burner come from? Has there ever been a similar situation in the history of sand and dust?
The little sister shook her head, she was a little sad because she didn't answer Song Shiyin's question.
Song Shiyin touched her head and encouraged her, "You are already great, you have told my sister and brother very useful information, let's rest for a while, don't worry."
Turning around, Song Shiyin sighed, she pulled Zhuo Guang to another place, and the two of them discussed the countermeasures in the future.
"At the moment, we still don't know where this Burner came from, but judging from the current clues, we should be on the side of the Burner." Song Shiyin thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"There are still too few clues, what exactly is this secret realm trying to let us do? Is it to extinguish fires and burn people, or to solve the crisis of national extinction of sand and dust? Or maybe it's to find out the secret of burning people?"
"Is the King really innocent in the whole affair? Was the conjoined baby girl born to the queen really hoodoo? Is it really because of this incident that the disaster in Sand City is happening?" Song Shiyin frowned and said while thinking.
Her thoughts wandered through the events, but they never managed to connect them together.
After being silent for a while, Zhuo Guang spoke, "Let's write down these questions first, and then analyze them one by one when there are more clues in the future, I think we can try them first."
With the rest of the search team, maybe they'll have news we don't know about."
Song Shiyin nodded.
They eventually decided to meet up with the rest of the team and then go outside Sand City to see what was going on.
Song Shiyin approached the children in two steps, and she said softly, "We decided to go out and take a look at the situation, I will lock the entrance to the cave and the door outside, and you will stay here for a long time."
"It's very dangerous out there, you are all sensible children, you should understand what I'm talking about, and keep yourself safe."
The children all nodded, and the little sister raised her head, she looked at Song Shiyin opening and closing her mouth, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Song Shiyin walked over and squatted down, touched her little sister's head, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, will you be like them, if you go out and don't come back?" After saying this, the little sister's tears couldn't stop flowing.
Song Shiyin was stunned for a moment, she stretched out her finger and gently wiped her little sister's tears, and then promised, "I'll be back, believe me, okay?"
After that, the two went out of the hole together, Song Shiyin rearranged the water tank, took some things from the side, and placed them on and around the water tank as a cover.
She glanced at the burning man who was still sitting in his chair, and the two pushed the door out, and it was currently empty outside, but they knew that the burning man was hiding in the shadows.
The two of them walked through the long street, and about a quarter of an hour passed, and in the distance, they saw the monk, but he was not wearing the sect clothes of the Lingyun Immortal Sect.
Still not seeing the rest of the group, the two discussed it and left marks on the wall along the way.
They hid all the way in the direction of the city gates, and during this time they encountered several burners, and they were almost discovered, but fortunately there was no danger.
Indeed, the gates were much higher and thicker than when they entered, and there was still an endless desert outside, and they did not see the presence of the burning people.
The two of them discussed it again, and according to the current clues, the people who participated in this matter the most were the Burners and the King, but they couldn't communicate with the Burners, so they could only focus on the King.
They decided on their next goal, to go to the palace to meet the king and see if there were any clues that had been hidden.
There is no hurry in this matter, since they have come to the city gate, they are bound to search to see if there are any new clues.
The two of them went out of the city gate and walked around the city wall again and again, but they found nothing.
Song Shiyin sighed, it seems that the only clue now is the king.
The two of them returned to the city, and walked in the direction of the palace, they were not familiar with the roads of the sand city, and could only pass through several streets in the general direction.
When passing around a corner, Song Shiyin's pupils suddenly shrank, it was the rest of the team!
She blurted out, "Tingyu! Yunxi!"
Those people turned their heads in unison, it was Bian Tingyu, Yu Chi Muyi, Du Yunxi, and Wen Xuan.
It's a joy to meet your teammates, especially in this uncharted world.
"Ten tones, Brother Zhuo." Bian Tingyu came over and smiled and took Song Shiyin's hand.
"How are you guys? Are you alright?" The first thing was to confirm the safety of his teammates, and the people on both sides nodded their heads to indicate that they were okay.
The empty street was not a place to catch up, so they found a secret place nearby, and several people went over together to exchange news.
Originally, it was Bian Tingyu and Wen Zhao together, and Yu Chi Muyi and Du Yunxi together.
As soon as Bian Tingyu and Wen Zhao entered the secret realm, they were on the streets of the city, and they encountered the burning people head-on, and they didn't dare to act rashly without understanding the situation, so they hid in the house and watched the changes.
Du Yunxi and Yu Chi Muyi were outside the city, and they fought with the fire people, and then Song Shiyin learned a shocking news.
"When a man dies in fire, he is resurrected." prevent
Yun Xi said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Song Shiyin was shocked, and she turned her head anxiously and looked at Zhuo Guang.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Song Shiyin said that they had burned people in the house before, and then there were children in the cave.
Everyone stared at each other with shocked expressions, and they immediately decided to go back as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late to go, and the litter of children might be gone.
Song Shiyin relied on his memory to find the previous house, and as soon as he entered, he saw that the burning man was gone, which frightened Song Shiyin.
Her heart was pounding, and while she tried her best to calm down, she hurriedly entered the hole in the ground.
The cave was empty, there were no children, and there were no corpses of them.
Song Shiyin bit her lip, she blamed herself a little, and her face was very ugly.
Du Yunxi and Bian Tingyu both came to comfort her: "It's okay Shiyin, I haven't seen their bodies with my own eyes, how can I confirm that they were really killed? Maybe they just saw the danger and left."
There is nothing wrong with such an idea, but Song Shiyin still can't completely put his mind at ease.
The rest of the team simply changed the subject, now was not the time to dwell on these, and a few people exchanged all the information again in the cave.
When Du Yunxi and the others appeared outside the city, they only had the sand city in front of them, and their first reaction at that time was that they didn't enter the secret realm, but when she saw that there was only Yu Chi Muyi next to her, she knew that she had come in.
So the two of them acted together and walked towards the sand city, but as they walked, a fire came out of nowhere, startling them.
The burning of people is menacing, and it is at this time that they find that there is no spiritual power in their bodies, and the fight is very difficult, but it is only for Du Yunxi, after all, Yu Chi Muyi is a physical cultivator, and it is quite easy to deal with burning people in close quarters.
They didn't fight for long, Yu Chi Muyi's force was strong, and he directly crushed it, as a result, the burner began to mumble, and after a while, two or three more burners came over.
The two of them didn't expect that the Fire Burner would even summon their companions, and they were forced into battle again.
Yu Chi Mu Yi really deserves to be a physical cultivator, he punched to the flesh, and the three burning people were all wiped out by Yu Chi Mu Yi alone, he grabbed the head of the burning person with both hands, and then twisted it slightly, the burning person's neck was broken in response, his head was crooked, and he fell to the ground.
The crisis was resolved, and the two continued to Sand City.
Unexpectedly, they had not taken a few steps when there was another sound behind them, and when they heard the sound, they looked back and saw that there was no shadow of burning people on the ground, and instead of them, there were three burning people who attacked them again.
They weren't sure if they hadn't let the burners die at all, or if they could be resurrected.
The two of them cooperated with each other, Du Yunxi took out the long sword from the storage bag, and she cut off the head of the burning person with one sword, blood splattered her body, and she pursed her mouth in disgust.
The two quickly fought and went to Sand City again.
Unexpectedly, just like just now, the three fire burners actually came behind them again, and at that moment, Du Yunxi thought that she had entered the illusion realm.
It was only then that they were certain that the burners would indeed be resurrected.
Du Yunxi didn't know if this kind of unkillable monster only existed in the desert, or if it was also found in the sand city, but she couldn't be entangled at this time.
Sand City may be the only place where the clues exist, and they must go in.
In order not to be entangled by the Burning Man again, this time, after they destroyed the Burning Man, they ran and quickly entered the city.
