With the appearance of that circle pattern, the aura of the Gu worm suddenly increased a lot, and even a trace of devouring power was revealed from all around it.

"It's ......"

It was only at this moment that Wu Qin came back to his senses, and instead perceived this scene with some surprise.

"Hey, boy, this girl will live in you from now on. This Cloud Devouring Beast Soul is considered rent. ”

"Okay, your Gu worm is now much stronger, enough to break the ban in your body. ”

"Don't thank me, if it's okay, this girl will go to rest. Well, bye-bye~~~"

The voice in his mind gradually faded away, leaving Wu Qin who was sitting on the bed in shock.

Instead, his body shook, and immediately urged the Gu worm phantom.

Half an hour later.

After the last red spirit pattern was also devoured by the Gu worm, an astonishing aura erupted from Wu Qin's body.

That breath is only stronger than the old man of the demon clan!

"Hahaha, hahahaha......"

Immediately after, a hearty laugh rang out in Wu Qin's room.

The laughter lasted for a long time, as if it had vented the grievances and anger of the past few years, and regained hope in life.

......

The edge of the Abyss Empire.

In the yellow sand of the sky, a small oasis looms.

At this moment, it is noon, and there are dozens of earthen houses scattered in the oasis, and the smoke curls up, which is quiet and peaceful.

"Ah Zhen, I'm back from picking sand and wattle fruits!"

An old woman walked slowly towards the entrance of the village, and a girl in yellow linen clothes said kindly.

"Well, Grandma Huang!"

The girl named Ah Zhen smiled sweetly at the old woman.

Ah Zhen was born in this desert village, with the brown and yellow skin that all humans in the desert have, and shoulder-length black hair, which looks neat and energetic.

The whole person was small in stature, with a light step, and carried a basket made of withered grass behind his back, in which were placed green fruits the size of a small basket fingernails. It must be the sand wattle fruit.

After Ah Zhen and Grandma Huang said hello, they quickly returned to the earthen house on the south side of the oasis.

Unloading the basket, Ah Zhen shook off the sand from her clothes, and then tiptoed to a certain room.

Raising his hand, he gently opened the door, and his black and white eyes cast his gaze inside, but it happened to meet the other pair of eyes.

With a shake of his hand, the door opened completely inward.

"Ahem, that, you're awake!"

With a slight flush on her face, Ah Zhen smiled awkwardly and said a little embarrassed.

Sitting cross-legged on the couch in front of him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, younger than Ah Zhen.

The young man has fair skin, narrow eyes, a high nose bridge, and angular cheeks, which have faded away from tenderness and begin to show the maturity of a man.

The combination of delicate and handsome gives people a very attractive feeling, and the eyes are deep, with a sense of maturity that does not match the age, which is even more eye-catching.

The young man is naturally Li Chen.

As early as two days ago, Li Chen had a big battle with him because of the revival of the demonic qi in his body.

Although most of his own cultivation has recovered, the demon in his body has also taken the opportunity to recover a lot of vitality. Under the battle between the two sides, although he barely succeeded, he himself was also unconscious.

Fortunately, he was extremely lucky, fainted near this desert village, and was rescued by the girl named Ah Zhen in front of him.

After two days of familiarization, this small desert village is called Jingguo Village.

As the name suggests, there are sand wattle fruits growing near the village, hence the name.

It is a small fruit in the desert that tastes a little dry, but it can wrap the stomach and not starve to death.

Jingguo Village uses sand vitex as the main source of things, and some other desert drought-tolerant plants are also planted during this period. One is to block the invasion of wind and sand, and the other is to increase food.

There are about 80 households in the village, a total of about 200 people, and drinking water and food are relatively scarce. But for Li Chen, an outsider, the people in the village were very enthusiastic, which made Li Chen's heart a little moved.

"I'm back. ”

Li Chen looked at the embarrassed girl in front of him, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Ah Zhen looked at Li Chen's bright eyes and bright teeth, handsome and calm appearance, and the two fragrant gills suddenly became redder.

"That, I, you, I, that"

Li Chen looked at Ah Zhen's embarrassed appearance, couldn't help but smile, and stood up from the couch instead.

"Thank you Miss Ah Zhen for saving your life, now that your body is almost recovered, it's not a matter of eating idle all the time, it's time to find something to do. ”

After speaking, Li Chen didn't wait for Ah Zhen to refuse, but took a step and easily passed by Ah Zhen, leaving him with a dashing back.

Ah Zhen was stunned, and hurriedly followed after reacting.

Li Chen walked outside the house, and his spiritual power was immediately released, covering a radius of dozens of miles, and even the underground penetrated in.

After a moment, Li Chen suddenly turned his head to Ah Zhen on the side and asked, "Is the water source in the village getting less and less every year, and the rate of drying up is getting faster and faster?"

Ah Zhen was looking at Li Chen's back, and when she suddenly heard the other party's question, she was naturally frightened, and her cheeks were a little hot.

Fortunately, Li Chen didn't look back, she just lost her temper slightly, and then she came back to her senses, calmed down and hurriedly replied: "This matter started four or five years ago, and because of this, the people in the village were panicked, for fear that one day the water would be cut off." In the past few years, the people of the village have been going out to find new water sources, but to no avail, and then they have been gone. ”

Speaking of this, Ah Zhen asked with a hint of surprise on her face: "This matter has always been a big problem left over from the village until now, how could Li Gongzi know about this time?"

When Li Chen heard this, his face did not change the slightest, and he picked up the words that he had thought of earlier: "Hehe, I listened to Xiao Wang next door." ”

As he spoke, Li Chen walked towards the only source of water in the middle of the village, a pool of water four or five zhang in size.

Although Ah Zhen was a little surprised by this, she still followed.

A moment later.

Li Chen came to the waterhole, looked at the clear and deep pool, and suddenly moved around the pool a few times.

Then, he looked up again, or picked up some rocks to take a closer look, or went to the waterhole and reached out to grab some water and drank a few sips.

Li Chen's move naturally attracted the attention of the nearby villagers who came to receive the water.

Some curious villagers even stayed, watching Li Chen's actions, and commented for a while.

After a while, Li Chen stopped the movements in his hand, turned to ignore the incomprehensible gazes of the villagers, walked up to Ah Zhen in a few big steps, and said to him: "Ah Zhen girl, I think I may have found the reason for the depletion of water in the village. ”

When Ah Zhen heard this, a pair of bright eyes instantly widened.
