Chapter 1 So it is
If there is no mist shrouded in the road ahead, it is so unreal, and everything in sight is so weird.
Quiet, a quiet that makes people feel frightened.
The reddish grass, the bare branches, and the dark clouds that almost pressed on the ground, everything was so oppressive and uncomfortable.
Click, click, click...
The sound kept getting closer, getting closer and closer, and as the sound approached, twenty people in armor appeared in the field of vision, and Sui Yi was one of them.
The first time I came down from such a comfortable place, I was amazed everywhere, so unbelievable everywhere, so silent and depressing.
: Is this our original home? Sui Yi looked at the strange and affectionate earth, mountains and rivers in front of him.
Looking at the scenery in front of me, a familiar history came to mind, three thousand years ago the demon star descended on the shore of the North Sea, and the disaster of the human race began, one city after another was destroyed, and a human race died, how many of these numbers are now, it is impossible to count them at all, but since then the future of the human race has completely changed.
After that time, the human race only had horror in their hearts, and in just a hundred years, one hundred and three years to be exact, this continent was completely changed.
In order to survive and survive, the Terrans had to put their home like a bird nesting in the sky that the magic star could not threaten as much as possible.
As a result, there are cities in this world that rise into the sky, some people call it the City of Heaven, but more people call it the City of Leaves, because the cities are like leaves floating helplessly on the "Demon Sea" is so lonely and desolate.
But even so, they still can't escape the influence of the demon star, and the cities can't stand the invasion of the demonic energy day after day and fall apart, and the lives of each other die in their former homes along with the dilapidated cities.
But the human race did not give up, when the city collapsed, one was being built, the predecessors died, and the later ones would make up for it desperately, and this is how three thousand years have passed.
Just when Sui Yi was full of emotion, a voice suddenly came from the front of the originally quiet team.
"The magic rain is coming, everyone hurry up. Suddenly, his voice was tinged with a hint of anxiety.
Hearing this voice, the hearts of more than 20 people instantly hung in the air.
The footsteps became more and more dense, and it was obvious that more than twenty people had quickened their pace and even ran.
When Sui Yi heard that voice, he didn't have time to continue to sigh, and the heavy wheezing sound made him have no time to think, and the only thing he thought about now was to keep up with the team.
Although the magic rain will not directly kill people, if it is touched by ordinary people, the skin may be itchy and unbearable, and the skin will be red, swollen and ulcerated. But that refers to the demonic rain where the demonic energy in Ye City is very thin, and now they are not in Yecheng, but in the Nether Ancestral Land full of demonic energy, you can imagine how powerful the demonic rain full of demonic energy is.
Danger happens from time to time in this nether ancestral land, everyone's life seems to no longer belong to them, no one is thinking about anything else, being able to live is the only theme now, running, running, running non-stop, in order to survive.
Heaven finally favored them, and at the moment when the magic rain completely fell, they finally arrived at the place where they could shelter them for a short timeβthe post cave.
The difference is that Ye Cheng is built in the sky with the aura of the dragon veins of the great river, while the post cave is built in the ancestral land of the nether realm with only the remnants of the weak leyline, and these aura may be exhausted at any time, even this simple shelter also guards the unknown number of pedestrians.
However, the post cave relies on how thin the aura in the leylines is, and the consequences of depleting the aura are extremely serious, and the failure of the magic circle to operate causes the collapse of the city to happen from time to time, not to mention this post cave with weak aura. In this demonic Nether Ancestral Land, the leylines that deliver spiritual energy to the post cave have been hovering on the verge of collapse.
Sui Yi looked at this post cave that he had only heard of but had never seen, and what he thought in his heart was surprisingly consistent with that of others, then the magic circle could operate normally.
With a hint of anticipation, everyone relocked their eyes on the post cave in front of them.
The post cave in front of me was on the mountainside of a small hill, and I saw two strong warriors without the slightest hesitation and arrived at the entrance of the post cave, and the two of them worked together to remove the boulder that closed the entrance of the cave, and then the two thin warriors rushed in very sensitively.
This world not only has the invasion of demonic energy, but the various monsters that have been demonized and mutated are even more terrifying, and every year the human race that is attacked by monsters in various cities is much more injured and killed than in the demonic energy, and the purpose of the two thin bodies rushing into the post cave is to explore the way.
However, before the magic rain completely arrived, there was only one place they could dodge, and if there were monsters, they would have to fight to the death, and it was obviously impossible to find the next cave.
After a while, there was a whistle signaling safety in the cave, and the hearts of the more than twenty people above could finally be relaxed for a moment, at least they could safely avoid the magic rain now.
Sui Yi followed everyone into the corridor of the post cave in turn, and it was dark in front of him for a moment, and he squinted his eyes several times before he eased up.
The cave that everyone entered was very much like a gourd, the entrance of the cave was very narrow, and only one person could pass through, but after three zhang, it was very different, a cave the size of a room appeared in front of their eyes, and after passing through the cave, it was a road more than one person high, but this passage was obviously a lot wider, and the width of more than four feet should not be a problem to fight with short weapons.
The passage more than four feet wide first slowly went up, and then quickly went down, the passage more than thirty zhang long everyone walked very slowly, after half a cup of tea, a cave three times as large as the front appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and there were three or two small holes several feet deep and more than one person high on the passage between these two large and small caves, and the smell emitted from it Sui Yi did not need to guess and knew that this should be convenient for people.
After Sui Yi followed everyone to the bottom, he took a closer look at this big cave, and the first thing that appeared in front of him was that in the middle of the cave was a formation platform more than half a person high, and the formation platform was engraved with complex formation patterns, and several grooves were regularly distributed.
Everyone locked their eyes on the array platform in the middle of the cave, and after a while, a person walked out of the crowd, although separated by heavy armor, but the dusty aura still clearly told the others that this was a formation master.
I saw this person walking to the side of the formation platform, carving something on the formation platform casually, and after a while, he nodded to everyone, and there was no word from beginning to end.
Seeing the array master nodding, everyone's hanging hearts finally relaxed, because this demon exorcism array can be used, and this post cave can still protect them, and there is no better news in this dangerous Nether Ancestral Land.
After receiving the good news, everyone sat around the formation platform in twos and threes, as close to the formation platform as possible, as if this would make them safer, and soon the sound of people talking to each other sounded in the cave.
Only Sui Yi sat alone not far from the exit, leaning against the stone wall of the cave, not knowing what he was thinking.
Looking at Sui Yi sitting there alone, although everyone was puzzled, no one said anything to ask, because in this dangerous nether, there is nothing more important than living, and the rest is so insignificant.
If it weren't for survival and cultivation, who would want to leave that safe and comfortable Ye City? As for others, it doesn't matter to you.
Sui Yi sat there quietly, and the sound of conversation melted into his ears uncontrollably.
"Brother, where are you?" β
"I'm from Yangbei Village, Chengbei. β
"Yangbei Village's! I have relatives in your village. β
"Oh! Is it? Where are you? β
"I'm from Zhongyang City." β
"From Zhongyang City? He said with a hint of surprise.
As for Sui Yi, he also looked at the man, because he was from the same place as himself.
Although it is built in the air of the leaf city, but these cities have their own names, Zhongyang City relies on thousands of miles of Zhongyang Mountain Range and the dragon veins of the north of the big river branch to build, is a small city more than 3,000 zhang from the ground, a radius of more than 50 miles.
Zhongyang City, the leaf city, in the middle is a number of hills about more than 100 zhang high, the highest of which is called Zhongyang Mountain, the most important magic circle to protect Zhongyang City is built in the belly of the mountain, because of the magic circle, the aura around Zhongyang Mountain is relatively strong, so Zhongyang Mountain has always been the holy place in the hearts of all people in Zhongyang City.
A small river called Yang River meanders down along Zhongyang Mountain, constantly passing through other hills, and finally converges around a small city, this city is the main city of this Ye City, Zhongyang, where nearly half of the common people warrior monks live here, and some important institutions are also located here, and around Zhongyang City there are more than ten villages, of which Yangbei Village is one of the closest ones.
Sui Yi took a look, but he was not particularly surprised, because he knew that although the towering Ye City was temporarily isolated from the demonic qi under the protection of the magic circle, and won a place for the human race to survive, the city itself built by relying on the spiritual veins could not be compared with the vast earth, and its products were quite scarce, and it was difficult to meet the needs of the martial monks in the city.
Although these heavenly and earthly treasures will carry demonic nature, the human race has still figured out some purification methods in the past three thousand years, and the purified heavenly and earthly treasures will be much inferior to the original, but they are still rare treasures for the many monks in Ye City. Therefore, even though he knew that the Nether Ancestral Land was very dangerous, there were still countless treasure hunters rushing to it.
Sui Yi's father, Sui Yun'an, was also a treasure hunter before, but he was injured and had to give up, and used the money he had saved from years of treasure hunting to open a shop in Zhongyang City to make a living, and Sui Yi's demon armor was stolen from his father Sui Yun'an.
