"It's true that I can't control this strange fire yet, what can I do about it?" Mu Tianyi, who was originally worried about Zhu Dongqi's escape, was instantly dispersed by Tao Hao, and asked with an excited face.

Tao Hao shook his head and said, "My fire control technique is only useful for the Fire Spirit Clan, but it is not feasible for you, but if you can enter the Fire Spirit Clan's inheritance land, it may be able to solve your problem." ”

"Really, then can I go to the Fire Spirit Clan with my senior?" Mu Tianyi asked as he looked at Tao Hao with an expectant face.

"Hehe, don't worry, the Fire Spirit Clan's inheritance is not something that can be entered, wait for me to go back and discuss it with the clansmen first. ”

Tao Hao handed Mu Tianyi a special transmission note, and continued: "You hold this transmission note, no matter how far away, I can contact you, if there is news, I will inform you." ”

"Then thank you senior!" Mu Tianyi respectfully thanked him.

"Hehe, you and I have a life-saving grace, I should thank you, not to mention that I still expect you to bring the cloves back!" Tao Hao was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely bring you the cloves. Mu Tianyi smiled faintly, swept away the haze exposed by the spiritual eye before, and said secretly, if you come, you will be safe.

chatting all the way, I unconsciously walked not far outside the barren stone town, perhaps because of the proximity to the Polar Ice Continent, although it was noon, but the wind here carried a faint chill.

Looking at the town not far away, Mu Tianyi's heart was a little hairy for no reason, and Bai Yifeng and the Void God lying on his shoulders also trembled slightly.

"This is Wastestone?"

"Yes. Xiu Yunhuan nodded in response, and his brows were slightly condensed.

"Well, it's really desolate, with bare stone walls, and you can't even see a human figure. Xiu Yan only felt that his legs seemed to tremble a little, and his heart was pounding.

"Don't worry about it after you go in, just go directly to the teleportation array. Xiu Yunhuan's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"This Wastestone Town is a bit evil, be careful. The Void God whispered softly in Mu Tianyi's ear.

Mu Tian nodded, looked up by chance, and found that the sun in the sky seemed to be something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It seemed to be a very close road, but they turned around and walked for a long time before finally reaching the entrance of the town.

A tattered town monument stands crookedly at the entrance of the town, with "Stone Town" written on it

"Hehe, really, there's no water at all. Mu Tianyi shook his head and smiled.

There was not a single grass or tree in the town, except for the stone houses, and the yellow sand was flying all over the sky. From time to time, there are flying beasts, making strange screams, except for the time, it is quiet, and the tranquility is a little unusual.

There was no one on the street, no inns, no shops, every stone house was closed, all the houses were dead, was it a dead city?

Mu Tianyi suddenly remembered several strange places in the Barren Continent that he had seen in the book before, among which was Barren Stone Town, but he still remembered it clearly, but it was not.

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, he wouldn't carry it like this, and he would encounter something bad.

Thinking like this, a few people walked to a small square-like place, and a gust of wind blew inexplicably, rolling up the rolling yellow sand, and countless yellow talismans floated from the desolate streets out of nowhere.

Those yellow runes fell from the sky, flying all over the sky, and they were all water calling talismans, but this rune didn't seem to have any effect, not even a trace of water mist was called.

"What person?" Xiu Yunhuan looked around, but he didn't see a figure

, so he shouted.

"Although these water summoning talismans are not of high level, they are not very far from the coastline here, so such a number should be able to summon some water mist, right? How can it be useless at all?" Xiu Yan picked up a water summoning talisman and observed it carefully, wondering.

"Maybe it's not that there's no water here, but that for some reason the water source is extinct. ”

Mu Tianyi saw many stone statues standing not far away, those stone statues had different expressions and lifelike, but their expressions seemed to be extremely frightened, as if something terrible had happened suddenly.

After walking around the town a few times, but finding nothing, Xiu Yunhuan's expression became more and more solemn, "Strange, this teleportation array was obviously on the square before, why is it missing now?"

Mu Tianyi stopped abruptly, looked at the sky, and frowned slightly, "It's strange, it's still noon when we came, why did time pass so quickly?"

"It's really not right, with our speed, it's less than half an hour at most, how can it be dark?"

The dim light lit up from the stone houses in the town, and at this time, Mu Tianyi and the others were surprised to find that those stone houses were not empty houses, and this was not a dead city, but inhabited.

But why is there a dead silence during the day?

However, if they wanted to find the teleportation array, they could only turn to the residents of the town for help, so without hesitation, Mu Tianyi and the others walked towards the nearest stone house.

"Knock Knock"

After a few taps on the door, a hoarse voice came from the room, "Who?"

"I'm sorry, we're passing through, may I ask where is the teleportation array in this town?" Xiuyun Huan calmed down and said softly.

"Squeak", the door was opened a crack, and a pair of dead fish-like eyes appeared in the crack of the door, Xiu Yunhuan was startled, these eyes were bloodshot, not like human eyes at all.

The pair of eyes glanced around everyone, and then slowly opened the door, a dry face, full of wrinkles, vicissitudes of life like the bark of an old tree that has lived for thousands of years, only those eyes hung abruptly on the face, looking terrifying.

If it weren't for that costume, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even judge his gender.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the old man was also looking at them with a very strange look, as if he was very surprised by the appearance of Mu Tianyi and the others, and after a while, the old man retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Entering the house, a feeling of depression came to his heart, and Mu Tianyi didn't know why, maybe the stone house was too dim.

Looking carefully at the furnishings in the house, Mu Tianyi wondered in his heart, this old man seemed to have nothing but a bed.

It was the curtain that made Mu Tianyi's heart suddenly, he somewhat understood why he felt uncomfortable when he entered this room, who would usually use black fabric as curtains?

"How did you end up here at this time?" the hoarse voice made people uncomfortable.

"We just came out of the Tomb Mountain, and if we want to go back to the Xiling Continent, we can only go through the teleportation array in the town, but the location of this teleportation array can't be found. ”

The old man shook his head and sighed after hearing this, "Do you really know how to pick the time, do you know what time it is?"

Xiu Yunhuan was stunned, and he didn't know why the old man suddenly asked like this.

"The wrath of the stone god is coming!" After a strange laugh, the old man staggered out of the stone house.

The sky was cloudy, like night, but there was no lightning or thunder, and there was not a drop of rain.

When Mu Tianyi looked outside the stone house, he found that there were already a lot of people gathered on the street

The people walked silently towards the square, but all of them were old men who looked like withered trees, and all of them had their eyes closed.

At the front was a very old woman, with her eyes closed and a basket in her hand, who sprinkled yellow paper charms into the sky as she went.

It looked like the kind of paper they saw when they first entered the square.

"It's been a long time since no one has come here, especially on the day when the stone god comes, and no one will come, because if you're not careful, you'll lose your life. ”

Seeing that Xiu Yunhuan wanted to speak and stopped, the old man also understood what she was going to ask, so he drank and smiled, and said: "I am the mayor of this town, you can call me Uncle He, the teleportation array will not reappear until a month later, you must not wander around during this period of time, so as not to annoy the stone god." ”

"I see, no wonder I couldn't find the teleportation array before. Xiu Yunhuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she still thought that this teleportation array had failed.

"Uncle He, why are they all walking with their eyes closed?" Mu Tian said in surprise.

"Drink, because they are very old, but they don't want to die yet. He Bo cracked his mouth and let out two strange laughs, as if the old bark had been scraped.

Follow Uncle He out of the stone house and to the square. There were yellow water charms everywhere, almost covering the ground. Everyone knelt reverently on the ground, chanting ancient and incomprehensible incantations.

Except for the old men in the square who closed their eyes and recited incantations, although there were not many people on this dark street, they also came and went, and it seemed that they had gained some popularity.

It's just that all of them are blind, like the walking dead, what a strange place.

Because they have been looking for the teleportation array and ignoring the surrounding environment, at this moment, when Mu Tianyi looked around and found that the stone houses here were very closed, and the windows were all hung with black curtains, no wonder they thought that there was no one in the town.

The town is not big, there are only two old streets, one of which leads to the square.

"Uncle He, why doesn't there even have an inn in this barren stone town?" Mu Tianyi asked curiously.

"Who said no? Don't you see?

He Bo's eyes, which were already round and rumbling, widened wider, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, looking at Mu Tian and the others as if they wanted to laugh or not, it was really a little weird.

At this time, Mu Tianyi looked in the direction of He Bo's finger, and sure enough, there was a stone tablet standing next to the stone house opposite, on which the word inn was vaguely written.

Due to the passage of time, those two words have been weathered and do not look like a tombstone, which makes people a little creepy.

"Uh, that's the inn!hehe, I thought the inn's plaque should be on the door......" Mu Tianyi laughed twice, looking a little embarrassed.

"Drink, don't you know that our environment can't use wood at all? That stone will be weathered after a long time, if it is placed at the door, if you are not careful, you may be stoned to death if you are not careful!"

Mu Tianyi looked at He Bo strangely, there is no water here, these people don't seem to have a high level of cultivation, what do they rely on for a living?

Thinking like this, they had followed He Bo to the stone statues in the square, and strangely, there was not a single water charm around the stone statues.

The old men kneeling in the square were casting ancient spells in an orderly manner according to some strange formation, but they didn't open their eyes, as if they were afraid to see something.

Mu Tianyi was really curious, what were those people afraid to see? Could it be that there was some invisible force controlling here?
