Taklama in Xinjiang is located in the eastern part of the desert, and there is a mysterious and dangerous place. It is close to the center of the Siberian high pressure, with strong winds throughout the year, frequent black storms, and fast-moving sand dunes, which can bury villages, farmland, and roads at any time...... There used to be a mushroom cloud rising here, so it is called "the place where the mushroom cloud rises", and this is Lop Nur.

In ancient times, Lop Nur was the second largest inland lake in China, with vast smoke and reeds. The "Hanshu Western Regions Biography>> records that the lake is "vast for 300 miles, and its water pavilion dwells, and it does not increase or decrease in winter and summer." In the 50s, scientists also confirmed the existence of Lop Nur, and by the 60s, Lop Nur, which had been "in the sea", completely disappeared. How did a large lake of nearly 3,000 square kilometers dry up now, and many scientists have been searching for answers to this problem, but have never found anything.

After it was already dark, Hou Yi had already flown over Lop Nur, which was the end of this long-distance journey. Since meeting Ou Lingyue for the second time, Hou Yi finally knew the reason why this place quickly dried up and became a death zone. It's no wonder that so many scientists have found nothing, and this reason is not what they could have imagined. Hou Yi came this time to solve this problem.

Hou Yi floated down to a sand dune that was not too big, and carefully distinguished the direction, which was already the center of Lop Nur. Looking around, the wind blew over the sand dunes, blowing the sand grains down the slope, making a very strange cry, in this desert where no one was around, it seemed desolate and sad. Everywhere around, you can see the bones of the forest that have been blown out of the ground by the wind, and they are basically animals, that is, there are no living creatures, or in other words, the living creatures are hidden under the slightly cooler sand, which is dangerous and deadly. The Death Zone lives up to its name.

As a cultivator, Hou Yi came here very easily, but it doesn't mean that ordinary people can also come here, because the environment here is too dangerous, and ordinary people may have lost their way before they find this place. The whole of Lop Nur is like a giant mouth devouring life, and the green and water are gradually eaten away by it, leaving only yellow sand and white bones.

Where is the culprit behind all this? Hou Yi is also looking for it. After resting on the sand dunes for a while, the True Yuan Force has almost recovered to its peak state, which also benefits from the Eye of Reincarnation, otherwise, with the current state of the Five Elements disorder, if there is no Eye of Reincarnation to collect the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, where can Hou Yi recover so quickly.

Overwhelmingly unfolding his divine sense, Hou Yi began to conduct a carpet search in this area, with the support of his powerful True Yuan Force during the merger period, his divine consciousness covered the vast realm within a radius of fifty miles, and there was no omission even within a hundred meters underground.

The disappeared ancient kingdom of Loulan, the bones of countless explorers, and countless treasures buried deep in the ground were all presented in Hou Yi's mind, and Lop Nur swallowed everything like a man-eating monster, never giving them a chance to see the light of day again.

And fifty meters underground, ten kilometers away, a unique thing attracted Hou Yi's attention. With a slight force under his feet, Hou Yi quickly swept over the yellow sand, and came to this place in a short time.

"So it's here, glutton, I'm here to pick you up!" Hou Yi said strange things in his mouth, and people who know a little bit about traditional Chinese culture will know that Tao Tao is one of the nine sons of the legendary dragon, and he is a greedy monster with a head and no body, and its big mouth can swallow everything in the world.

Why did this legendary ancient beast stay in the desert of death? Why did Hou Yi say something like "pick it up"? It seems that there is a very strange reason for this.

Accurately locking the location of the object underground, Hou Yi was standing directly above it, this thing was very important, and Hou Yi didn't know its specific situation, and he was a little worried in his heart.

The sky-breaking bow and the sun-chasing arrow in his body were ready to move, and since he came to this place, the two artifacts in his body began to be restless. Although four thousand years ago, Hou Yi had already re-refined these two artifacts with the secret refining method of Shushan, refining them into an energy flow and integrating them with his divine consciousness, but now standing on the yellow sand, they actually seemed to have their own consciousness, as if they would be separated from Hou Yi's divine consciousness at any time. And underground, there were also bursts of energy fluctuations, as if echoing with the sky-breaking bow and sun-chasing arrows.

Gluttony - the soul of one of the artifacts separated from the Skybreaker Bow. In fact, there are a total of nine artifact souls of the Heaven-Breaking Bow, which are the nine sons of the legendary dragon: Zangtu, Jiaotu, Jianwei, Pu Lao, Prison Ox, Fierce Spirit, Gluttony, Kiss, and Fox. Among them, Jiaotu was exiled overseas at the end of the 19th century and was collected in the British Museum, which is the soul of the artifact that Hou Yi wanted to recover from the last time he went to England;

Now the gluttony is at Hou Yi's feet, so the sky-breaking bow and the sun-chasing arrow will have abnormal movements, which is precisely to fuse with the soul of the artifact, the divine imprint left on it when Hou Yi rerefined the artifact has been much lighter, and Hou Yi's control over the artifact has also been greatly weakened. If he wanted to control it again, he would have to refine it again after the Heaven-Breaking Bow and the Gluttony had successfully fused it, but it would be much more difficult than it had been four thousand years ago.

Since the things in the body want to come out, Hou Yi does not deliberately suppress them, they are things made by the Pangu Emperor himself, and who to choose as the master naturally depends on the fate.

Summoned the Heaven Breaking Bow from his body, and the Sun-Chasing Arrow was tightly attached to the bowstring, this time it was not to shoot the Sun-Breaking Arrow, so Hou Yi did not use Yuanying, but just held the bow body casually with his hand. Although these two artifacts are very beautiful in color, one red and one white, they are still the same simple appearance. Only now, the charred bowstring was vibrating slightly, rubbing against the air to make a "buzzing" sound, like a low roar from a dragon's throat.

"Are you even so excited?" Hou Yi felt the beating in his hand, and raised the bow and arrow in front of his eyes, as if talking to an old friend for many years, "I'm about to get back a part of my soul, you can't help it?" I'm looking forward to it too, let's start!"

The bowstring trembled intensifying, as if in response to Hou Yi's words. Hou Yi's dark face flashed with a confident smile, he slung his bow and arrow on his shoulder, and summoned a lightning sword with dazzling lightning in his right hand.

"Lei Dong, help me clear the way. Hou Yi let out a low cry and shot the thunderous sword towards the ground under his feet. This sword is his most handy magic weapon, and its attack power is so strong that it is famous in the cultivation realm.

This is a desert, not in the water that restricts the use of the thunder sword, the thunder emits a crisp sword wind, like a cheerful singing, for a hundred years, in this relatively peaceful period, it has not been used much, I am afraid it is also suffocated.

The effect of the strong electric light of the thunder after hitting the sand was very obvious, and the energy contained in the thunder and lightning quickly melted the sand, forcing it to open all around, and a hole with a diameter of three meters appeared in front of Hou Yi. Hou Yi is the second time to use a flying sword to dig a hole today, although there is a feeling of using a knife to kill chickens, but there is no way.

The work of the thunder sword progressed very quickly, and in less than a minute, it dug down more than twenty meters, the bowstring of the sky-breaking bow trembled more urgently, and the chirping was more joyful, and he was excited to see his old friend, this artifact clearly had its own consciousness.

At this moment, a little purple sword light flew from the sky, Hou Yi's eyes were sharp, and he saw that this was not anyone from Shu Mountain, could it be that someone from Jinao Island had also come here? No, although Jinao Island is relatively loose, the prestige of the owner of Yunyin Mountain is still very high, if he said not to set foot in the Central Plains for the time being, there should be no islanders who cross the sea without permission. So who will it be, is there a cultivator in the world besides Shushan Mountain and Jinao Island? As soon as his heart moved, Lei Dong returned to the palm of his right hand, and with a slight wave of his left hand, a cold air poured into the sand hole dug by Lei Dong, and immediately solidified all the melted liquid, forming a thick hard wall on the cave wall, so that the sand hole would not collapse for the time being.

The sword light came quickly, and as soon as Hou Yi finished doing this, the purple had already come from the sky, and when he was still ten meters away from Hou Yi, he braked sharply and stayed in the air tremblingly.

The three-foot-long sword, the slender sword body with a finger width, the purple sword light, and there was an unusually beautiful purple-clothed girl standing on the sword, who was glaring at Hou Yi angrily, as if she was very angry, and very vigilant.

"Who are you, you dare to use a flying sword in a forbidden place! Don't you want to live?" It seems that most beautiful women are rude, and the girl in front of her is no exception, she doesn't even say hello, and she is very polite to Hou Yi when she opens her mouth.

Hou Yi was really surprised, this is the deserted Lop Nur, and the era of nuclear testing has passed for a long time, who will set up any forbidden land here? But the girl in front of him who didn't seem to be an adult made him angry, he just asked, "Miss, what's your surname?"

The purple-clothed girl ignored this sentence, and her face became even more angry, and instead of answering the question, the person in front of her asked her name, which was clearly a treacherous guy.

Hou Yi smiled again and asked, "Since Miss doesn't want to say it, then I'll ask something else, whose forbidden place is this?"

The purple-clothed girl glared at her apricot eyes: "Of course it's my forbidden place, no one is allowed to mess around here! You still dare to use a flying sword, it's really damned!"

Although Hou Yi is well-cultivated, he is also angry and laughs, there are always these self-centered guys in the world, and they always think that others should follow their own will, it seems that the purple-clothed girl in front of him should also be rude. However, judging from the aura she emitted, her cultivation should at least be in the early stage of distraction, since she is not a disciple of Shushan and Jinao Island, she can cultivate to this level outside the place where the vitality of heaven and earth is the strongest, it seems that it will not be a simple step, and her age should be at least about the same as Hou Yi. At such an age, she is still so rude and unreasonable, if she is not ignorant of the world, it is because of her character, and she has been used to being so rude for thousands of years.
