Chapter 118: Going Home
Li Xiaoyue had already walked on this dead wasteland for a whole day.
The dry and gray soil under her feet was particularly sticky, like ashes that had rotted for hundreds of millions of years, if it weren't for the Chang Gengxing lit up in the sky behind her to point her in the direction, she really thought she was going in the wrong direction.
The fierce wind whipped up fine dust, and even if she was blindfolded with her clothes, there would still be fine dust floating into her eyes, which made Li Xiaoyue cry.
She could only close her eyes first, take one of Ah Fu's hands, and slowly walk forward.
When the moon rises, it makes no difference between her eyes open and her eyes closed.
She didn't know what had happened to her body, the magic power she had worked so hard to cultivate was gone, replaced by coldness flowing in her bone marrow.
It was a magical power that allowed her to see clearly in the dark, and her singing could drift away like the wind.
The fine dust could still penetrate her clothes and run in, pricking the tip of her nose, Ah Fu suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "I think you should take a look at these." ”
Li Xiaoyue unbuttoned her clothes in confusion, squinted her eyes and looked forward, the smoke and dust that were fluttering by her movements were flying, and by the clear light of the rising moonlight, she saw a white skeleton in front of Ah Fu.
The round skulls were scattered messily in front of them, and the black hole hole was buried by the precipitated dust, as if they were all looking in the direction of Li Xiaoyue.
She suddenly bent over and retched, perhaps, those that got into her eyes, nose, and even into her mouth were really ashes.
The stumbling footsteps kicked up more dust, and Li Xiaoyue retreated, trying to avoid the flying corpses, but accidentally stepped on the empty feet and fell backwards to the ground.
"Ahem!" struggled to get up from the ground, and a lot of dust was stirred up by her, and she slapped her body desperately, but to no avail.
A breeze blew away, blowing away the smoke and dust, and calming her down again with coolness, she stood in the dust, looking at the dense corpses, at a loss.
"There is zero spontaneous radiation here. Ah Fu had already probed her surroundings as she panicked. It retracted the probe into its head and said, "In other words, there's no sign of life here." ”
Bending down to pick up a dusty thing from the ground that looked like a branch, Li Xiaoyue blew it gently, but the branch was easily blown away, without any muscles and bones at all.
Putting away the fear in her heart, Li Xiaoyue bent down again, wanting to pick up a skull, but as soon as her fingers touched the top of the skull, it instantly loosened into a pile like the branch, and melted into the layer of dust on the ground.
Straightening up, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but tremble a little, she didn't know how many people's bones were needed to cover the sea of ashes in front of her.
What was going on here? She wasn't sure if she was going in the right direction, maybe it was an ancient battlefield, and she didn't want to think of that terrible possibility, so she looked up in confusion to distract herself. But by the light of the moon, she suddenly discovered that the arc of the top of the mountain peak in the distance was surprisingly similar to the peak of the mountain behind Chiyou City.
"Impossible...... It's impossible to ......" Li Xiaoyue's feet were weak and she almost fell, but before she could stand firmly, she ran desperately towards the peak.
She shouted in her heart, these must be the corpses of foreigners, with the patriarch and the grandmother of the Great Witch, Chiyou City will definitely be fine!
The ground under her feet was extremely soft, Li Xiaoyue was shallow and shallow at all, but she still climbed to the top of the mountain with her hands and feet, and after crossing this peak, she arrived home.
The dust that she had kicked off slid downward, like a layer of water that had fainted from the top, and Li Xiaoyue vaguely remembered that this seemed to be the place where she was taken away.
However, what about the surrounding trees, why are all gray dust as far as the eye can see? Li Xiaoyue's thoughts were very confused, she had a faint bad premonition, but she was forcibly thrown away by herself, she secretly recited the sacrifice in her heart, begging the ancestors to protect Chiyou City from becoming like her cranky thoughts.
"Need help?" Ah Fu's voice came from behind her, and Li Xiaoyue, who was struggling to climb, looked back, only to see that the guy was following her, his sharp claws digging deep into the dust, supporting its iron lump body, and climbing fast.
"Ah Fu, you help me...... Send me back...... Over this mountain......" Li Xiaoyue spoke incoherently, Ah Fu listened to her for a long time, and finally understood what she meant. Reaching out for his mechanical claws, Ah Fu reached out and pulled her up and put her on his head.
The mechanical claws under his feet were running like flying, and Ah Fu quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. Li Xiaoyue hugged its head tightly and looked eagerly ahead, but the mountain top that was getting closer and closer deepened her fear, and she was a little afraid to look at it.
The feeling of weightlessness came, she knew that she had crossed the top of the mountain, but she still didn't dare to open her eyes, the wind was whirring in her ears, she imagined that she was being carried by Ah Fu to run towards the Chiyou City that was lit with a little fire, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of her mouth.
Secretly opened her eyes a slit, but the omnipresent ash and darkness made her heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
At the foot of the mountain in front of him, the outline of Chiyou City could already be vaguely recognized, but there was no light of fire that made Li Xiaoyue close her eyes again, and whispered: "It's the wrong one, it's the wrong ......."
She hoped that when she opened her eyes again, she would see a strange stone forest, but when Ah Fu stopped, she didn't have the courage to open her eyes again.
"Is this it?" asked Ah Fu.
Slowly opening his eyes, his body was so quiet that he could hear the sound of blood flowing, and Li Xiaoyue also listened to his heartbeat, sinking into the darkness little by little.
Li Xiaoyue suddenly turned over and ran into the city, the ruins of collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, although there were no bones in sight, but the ground was also shrouded in a layer of gray dust, so she couldn't hold illusions.
"Grandma Witch, Xiaoxing, Mom, is anyone there?" she cried out in the night, but received no response.
Ah Fu's display flickered in the dark night, illuminating Li Xiaoyue's figure, while the camera hole of the black hole looked into a dark shadow.
Li Xiaoyue ran around desperately, trying to find a trace of the Silk Clan's traces, until she was exhausted and fell to her knees.
"What's going on?Where have all the people gone?Why is this happening?" Li Xiaoyue muttered to herself.
Crash!
A slight sound suddenly sounded from the front right, Li Xiaoyue looked up, only to find that the sound came from behind a collapsed stone house.
"Who is it?" Li Xiaoyue shouted alertly, getting up and walking cautiously towards the stone house.
Swish!
A dark shadow suddenly flashed behind the stone wall, and it flew away into the distance.
Li Xiaoyue was taken aback, but quickly reacted, and chased after the black shadow.
The shadow was fast, wandering in the shadows of the darkness, and it was difficult to spot it. But with the help of the night vision brought by the moonlight, Li Xiaoyue vaguely found that the black image was a monster with a pair of fleshy wings behind it.
chased out, the black image found that he couldn't avoid Li Xiaoyue's pursuit, and suddenly jumped up, a pair of fleshy wings stretched out, the air flow swept, and it flew away like an arrow from the string.
Damn! Li Xiaoyue stomped her foot angrily, she couldn't fly, she could only watch the guy fly away, she had a hunch that that monster had a lot to do with the current situation of Chiyou City.
Stepping on a shadow under her feet, Li Xiaoyue looked back, but found that she had unconsciously chased after the council hall.
The originally majestic council chamber was now smashed down by a huge rock, and a string of unfamiliar symbols was painted on the rock.
Li Xiaoyue bit her lip, she already had a guess.
There are only two races in the world that have their own writing, one is the human race and the other is the demon race.
The guy who flew away should be the legendary demon, could it be that Chiyou City was captured by the demons?
However, she has only been away for a few days, is the demon clan so powerful that even the Li Clan's witch battle array can't resist for long?
She didn't believe that the Li people would be slaughtered by the demons, although the Li witch was brave and fearless, but it was not a tendon, and with the patriarch and the big witch grandmother, they would definitely not sit still, and the clansmen must have fled......
Aware of this, Li Xiaoyue's gaze fell to the bottom of the rock, where there was a strange depression, and the strange phenomenon made Li Xiaoyue walk there.
The ash seemed to have avoided the place, forming a large crater. But when Li Xiaoyue got closer, she found that there should be some stronger force that broke through the area, because the circle of dust around it was imprinted with strange ripples.
Walking to the top of the depression, Li Xiaoyue poked her head out and looked down, but her body froze.
"What's wrong?" Ah Fu chased after him according to the display of the thermal energy detector, but saw Li Xiaoyue lying motionless under the boulder, and couldn't help but come forward to ask.
Li Xiaoyue didn't answer, Ah Fu followed her line of sight, but saw an old woman with gray hair, lying peacefully at the bottom of the pit, as if she was asleep.
"Grandma Witch......" Li Xiaoyue's low voice trembled, as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping old woman below. A teardrop rolled down the wall of the dust pit and fell on the old woman's cheek, shattering to pieces.
Li Xiaoyue slid down from the pit wall and landed at the bottom of the pit, she trembled and stretched out her hand to touch Jiang Xiang's cheek, but the coldness and hardness of the tentacles told her that the person who was the best to her would never wake up again.
