Chapter 1152: The Great Wilderness
The boundless earth stretches into the distant mist, and as far as the eye can see, there are no mountains, no forests, only countless square low mountains and massive boulders, which decorate the earth into thousands of ravines.
Soft grass spreads among the valleys, and you can smell the faint aroma of grass from the edge of the forest, and the hills here are steep and abrupt, and there are no plants on the hills, but bare.
The surface of the mountain rocks near the ancient forest is pale red, and the color becomes lighter the further west you go, and a desert can be seen faintly in the distance, but there is also a huge shadow looming.
Smoke curling, there are countless small villages of different races on this land, a group of little trolls are chasing each other, scared the goblins to flee in all directions, a few little leopard-headed people chased a small pig-headed man, just surrounded each other in the center, but I didn't expect to be suddenly killed dozens of little pig-headed people pressed down and pressed to the ground.
There was no killing, no hatred, only slapstick and laughter, and this was a place where aliens had lived for generations, and even the villages near the ancient forest were simply barbed by wooden thorn fences and beasts rushing in.
"Huh, that's ......."
He fled towards the north, slowly moving along the edge of the ancient forest, and after half a day, he found a group of human races five hundred meters away from the edge of the ancient forest, a total of seventeen people, all of whom were Yuan Shen cultivators, and the lowest was also the peak of the early stage of the Yuan Shen.
Lin Xiuqi couldn't figure out how there were so many Yuan Shen Cultivators gathered here, and what these people were doing made him even more confused.
These people are planting trees!
One digs the soil, one sows the seeds, two drips in the nutrient solution, one seedling grows at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when it grows to the thickness of the bowl, one begins to paint a transparent liquid on the stem, two strengthen the soil layer of the roots, and one applies fertilizer.
A group of four, a total of four groups, and an old man who was just watching these people plant trees from the sidelines, his cultivation was the highest, at least in the late stage of the Yuan Shen, and he should be the overseer.
"Captain, it's been almost five years since we're going to plant!"
A younger man complained, Lin Xiuqi almost laughed out loud in the ground, five years?
"Yes, Captain, after all this time, you should have told us why you planted trees!"
A woman also complained that she was fed up with this boring task, she wanted to go back to the First Spirit District, shop, cultivate, and enjoy food, and she didn't want to stay here.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't!" the old man said lightly.
"......"
"Don't forget that you came on your own volition!
"But who knew it was so boring!"
The old man could also understand the thoughts of these people, so he just said calmly: "It's almost over! You can go back in another year, and you will get your due reward then!"
"Yes!"
Several people agreed weakly and continued to plant trees.
Lin Xiuqi calculated the planting speed of several people, about one tree in three minutes, it will not take a day to grow into a towering tree, just according to twenty hours a day, four groups of people are 1,600 trees a day, and five years is not nearly 3 million trees, is this planning to conquer the great wilderness with green?
He carefully felt the trees around him, they were not planted in rows, of course, it was also reasonable, otherwise they would be discovered by the alien race, but it was not strictly a needle, the old man would indicate where to plant the next tree, irregularly, and without leaving a mark.
He was surprised that the closer these trees were to maturity, the weaker the smell of the nutrient solution became, and no one could recognize it for more than a day.
Time is pressing, let's give up curiosity, it has nothing to do with him.
At this moment, a middle-aged man said casually: "Captain, I heard that there is a treasure in the valley behind the alien royal city, is it true?"
"I've heard of it too, Captain, do you know?"
As soon as the baby was mentioned, everyone came to the spirit, the old man didn't have any shelf, and said calmly: "Don't listen to these rumors, it is the cemetery of the royal family, if there is really a treasure, it is also a burial item!"
"Cemetery, if you can dig up a corpse of a void period alien race, you should be able to exchange a lot of magic essence!"
"It must be possible! The alien body is strong, even the corpse is an excellent alchemy material!"
The old man said: "Don't think about it! We can't even bear the wind and sand, only the strong people in the cave can approach without realizing it! Okay! Go on!"
Lin Xiuqi didn't continue to stay, and continued to retreat towards the depths of the Great Wilderness, he didn't expect that the royal family still had a royal city, maybe there would be good things, should you go and see it?
If the baby is in the royal city, Zou Changsheng must have a heavy explanation, but he just gave a general direction, saying that he can feel it, if there is anything from the other race that can have an effect on Zou Changsheng's special situation, it should be the bloodline of the royal family or some spells of the elf race.
It seems that the cemetery of the royal family must be visited.
As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and it took Lin Xiuqi a full three days to leave the low mountain area and enter the dusty and misty area.
"This ...... It seems to be a formation!"
He twisted the smoke and dust in the air with his hand, it turned out to be not fog, but real dust and sand, looking at the endless wind and sand, Lin Xiuqi didn't know how strong it was to drive such a scale of fine sand, but if he directly used the sandstorm to attack the Xuanjie Army, he might not need to make a move to reap miraculous results.
He suddenly remembered those seventeen model tree planting workers, could it be that planting trees is also a kind of formation? The purpose is to prevent wind and sand?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, even what he could find when he first arrived in the Great Wilderness, it was impossible for the Xuanjie monk to be unconscious, once the other party took advantage of a natural disaster, it was very likely to directly change the situation of the battle, if he unknowingly used the giant wood to form a formation, it would definitely surprise the alien race!
Clever!
Another day passed, Lin Xiuqi crossed the wind and sand belt, at first it was okay, the wind and sand could deal with it, but later, the fine sand and gravel were enough to destroy the body of the Yuan Shen Monk, no wonder the captain of the tree planting team said that it was impossible to enter the cave cultivation, it was originally meant here, if he could not use the earth escape technique, it would be absolutely impossible for him to cross here, it must be driven by the formation.
At this time, he had already determined that his previous guess was correct, such an attacking sandstorm was devastating for the Xuan Realm Army, and sure enough, no three or four million trees could not stop it.
The scenery in front of me is different from the first wilderness, it is a forest, but unlike the previous ancient forest, the trees here are not thick, but the branches are a little excessive, and there are eye-catching tender greens everywhere, which is like suddenly going to the park after a whole year at home, which makes people can't help but feel excited.
"That's what nature is called...... I'll go! What's that!"
He suddenly found that there was a huge pillar in the depths of the forest, it was pitch black, and some lines could be vaguely seen on it, if it weren't for the fact that the trees were also very tall, he must have found this thing that stood out from the crowd for the first time.
"Dinghai Divine Needle? Could this be the natural heritage of the Xuan Realm, the ruins of Huaguo Mountain? Could there be monkey-headed people?" Lin Xiuqi couldn't help but fall into thought, and then suddenly realized: "Aren't the monkey-headed people human race! Could it be that this thing is related to me? Is it the Great Sage who is calling me?"
Having a lot of fun to think about, he slowly flew to a tree, ready to take a good look at the pillar, when he was caught by another thing.
A tree!
The diameter of the trunk is a kilometer, which is still too far away, and the result of visual inspection is that there must be something powerful living in the forest.
Since you came, you can't go back empty-handed, after all...... Zou Changsheng is still waiting!
At this time, Lin Xiuqi had almost concluded that Zou Changsheng must have fallen, how could that kind of injury last for so many days, but he was still using this reason to encourage himself.
Speaking of Zou Changsheng, his feelings are still very complicated.
He hated the Half Cake God Cult to the core, not only assassinated him several times, making himself embarrassed, but also involved the fall of Silva, and this revenge was unrequited.
But the other party didn't plan to kill him, the relationship between the two is not bad, do you really want to hate each other because of their different positions?
He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't convince himself not to think like this, and in the end he could only take the matter lightly, especially after the two talked, the other party also had this intention, as if this was a tacit understanding.
Originally thought that the giant pillar could be reached in half a day, it took Lin Xiuqi ten days to see the source of this thing, I don't know who laid down the formation of "reverse shrinking the ground into inches" here, it doesn't seem to be far, but in fact, the distance through the ancient forest is longer than before, it is simply a pit outsider.
The giant pillar is a hundred miles ahead, and the strange thing is that the giant pillar is very thick when it is seen from a distance, but at this time, it is found that the giant pillar is very thin, with a diameter of only about three or four hundred meters, and there are dense lines on it, and there are various mask carvings.
This is...... Totem!
This word flashed in Lin Xiuqi's mind instantly, and there was even a group of shamans praying around the totem for blessing and divination, he could feel the heavy sense of oppression on the totem, this thing is not simple, at least it is a magic weapon, a real magic weapon.
He wanted to get closer but couldn't, because in front of him was a huge city, and the totem was in the center of the city.
The city wall is about one hundred and fifty zhang high, made of brown boulders, reinforced with metal at the head and the city gate, there are two closed sentry posts next to the city gate, only six huge crossbow arrows with the thickness of the bowl mouth are exposed, the arrows are pointed in six directions, there is a row of pitch-black spikes on the head of the city, shining with a lilac cold glow under the sunlight, presumably used to deal with fierce beasts, above the city is a blood-colored whirlpool, covering thousands of miles, the vitality around it has been pulled, and it has become a colorful point of light in the red mist, and it looks like a nebula surrounding the totem from a distance.
Hundreds of miles away, Lin Xiuqi could actually smell the faint smell of blood coming from the direction of the city, it seemed that this place was definitely not a good place.
He continued to retreat, and there was no further delay in approaching, but before he could rejoice, another situation appeared.
It became very difficult for the earth to escape, as if the earth was rejecting itself, he directly resonated with the leyline, but found that the leyline was also reinforced, and the power that could be borrowed was very small, and it was already the limit to be able to escape into a thousand meters.
In fact, Lin Xiuqi didn't know that there was a ban within a hundred miles of the royal city, not only prohibiting flight, but also prohibiting land escape, otherwise building a city wall would not be completely an ornament.
It's also a shame that he doesn't know that there is more than one cave void monk in the royal city, if there is no prohibition, as long as one person completely disperses his divine sense, Lin Xiuqi's plan to escape will be in the soup, and he is estimated to be taken by the royal family.
The closer he got to the royal city, the more difficult it was for the earth to escape, but when did Lin Xiuqi fall behind in the earth escape realm, it took him a full ten hours to bypass the underground formation of the royal city and go away with difficulty.
Now that the Holy Worm is in retreat, it does not affect the use of the Curtain Covering Technique, but it takes a bit long to activate, and he hides all his breath, slowly floats up, spreads his divine sense, pays attention to the surrounding conditions, and does not accidentally miss the cemetery.
