Chapter 312: Exotic
The swift speed of the Red Flame Dance is based on the large consumption of aura, plus to carry the three people, the aura consumption is even more serious, and at the third watch, Wu Dongfang felt that the aura in his body could not make ends meet, and turned his head to look at Xin Tong, Xin Tong understood, and immediately took over.
"Go straight west and don't change direction. Wu Dongfang said to Xin Tong.
"Okay. Xin Tong nodded in agreement.
"Are you sure we chose the right path?" Fei Xuan asked, although it was a hitchhiker, he and Xunshuang also needed to maintain balance with their own aura, although they were not tired, they couldn't close their eyes and fall asleep.
"Even if it's wrong, it's not a big deviation. Wu Dongfang said casually.
"How long will it take to get to the ground?" Fei Xuan asked again.
Wu Dongfang thought for a while and said, "Our speed is faster than that of the Yu people, according to the current speed, we should be able to rush over at noon tomorrow." ”
Fei Xuan didn't ask again, he took out two porcelain bottles from his arms and handed them to Wu Dongfang, the porcelain bottles had two patterns of water and fire, and they could be known as qi tonifying pills tailored for Xin Tong and Xunshuang without asking.
Wu Dongfang handed one of the bottles to Xin Tong, "Come, let's change positions, I have something to say to Xunshuang." ”
Xin Tong took the porcelain vase and lowered his height, Wu Dongfang quickly moved to the right, occupying Xin Tong's position, and Xin Tong rose diagonally to make up for Wu Dongfang's position.
"I have something to ask you. Wu Dongfang handed the porcelain vase to Xunshuang.
Xunshuang stretched out his hand to take it, and glanced at Wu Dongfang suspiciously, "What?"
"Did you have a spell that could communicate with the gods of Heaven and Earth before your water tribe?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The kind of spell you said is called Peeping Heaven and Asking Ancestor, and it is indeed a spell of the Water Clan, but this spell has long been lost. Xunshuang took the porcelain vase into his arms.
"Why was it lost?" asked Wu Dongfang.
"Peeping Heaven Asking Ancestor can only be used by Heavenly Masters of the level above Taixu, and if you use it once, your cultivation will be lowered by one order, and because the price paid is too heavy, the number of times you use it is very small, and after a long time, it will gradually be forgotten. Xunshuang said.
After Xunshuang finished speaking, without waiting for Wu Dongfang to speak again, he continued, "I know why you are asking this, wait until I go back and take a look, there are still some sound worms in the Extreme North Cold Palace, but I don't know if there will be this kind of spell in it." ”
"Good. Wu Dongfang nodded happily, he didn't have much hope, it was better to find frost, and it was also the will of God that he couldn't find it.
As soon as Wu Dongfang finished speaking, Xin Tong lowered his flight altitude again, Fei Xuan laughed when he saw this, Xun Shuang also pouted and laughed, Wu Dongfang had no choice but to return to his original position.
After Xin Tong returned to his position, he may also feel that what he had done before was too superficial, and his face turned red. Because she was still young, the three of them were very tolerant of her and deliberately gossiped to avoid her being too embarrassed.
is the same as Taixuan's cultivation, and the depth of cultivation is also different, and Xin Tong couldn't stand it in less than three hours, Wu Dongfang saw that the flames showed signs of shrinking, so he took the initiative to replace her.
At dawn, the four of them flew over a very wide river, Fei Xuan looked down, "Driven out so far, there are still deep mountains and wilderness below, and there are no people, are you sure we haven't gone the wrong way?"
"I've never been here either, how can I be sure?" Wu Dongfang shook his head, "But I don't think it should be wrong, we are in the easternmost part, ancient India is in the southwest of us, and the country under siege is located in the west of us, if ancient India sends troops, it will not take this road, and we can only meet people if we rush to the border of the Yuren." ”
"The road is too far, the deviation is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles. Fei Xuan said.
"Don't worry, you can't be wrong. Wu Dongfang waved his hand helplessly, he had already understood Fei Xuan's verbosity, and he pulled him to chat all night when they met for the first time, no, to be precise, he chatted with the prince all night, and he stayed with him for a night.
Before the hour, a village appeared below, Wu Dongfang lowered the flight altitude, and the four of them stayed suspended from the top of the village, this village is not large, less than a hundred houses, mostly grass-roofed adobe houses, there is no one in the village, there is a dead silence.
"Brother Wu, have the villagers avoided it?" Xin Tong asked.
"Yes, there are no livestock, the doors are closed, and they should have moved away. Wu Dongfang said that it is very common in wartime, and people close to the border will move inward to avoid war and reduce casualties.
"The orientation is right. Xunshuang said beside him.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "Let's go, continue west." ”
Xin Tong replaced Wu Dongfang again, cast a red flame dance, and flew west quickly.
"Their houses are very simple, and they must have just escaped from the wilderness. Fei Xuan said that the Mu clan is the best at civil construction, and he can see at a glance whether the construction of the house is reasonable.
"No, no, no," Wu Dongfang waved his hand again and again, "You can't generalize by points, this is a marginal area, the architecture is not representative, as far as I know, during the coexistence of the four ancient kingdoms, the civilization of our Xia Dynasty was not the most developed, and the other three countries surpassed us in many fields, and I had been to ancient India with the prince before, where the metallurgical level was higher than ours, and the writing was more mature than ours." ”
After hearing this, Fei Xuan smiled and did not say anything.
Wu Dongfang did not explain much when he saw this, some things are passed down from generation to generation in the bones, the Chinese in the feudal period have always looked down on foreigners, until they were beaten by the eight-nation alliance and their noses were swollen and they realized that they were not the most powerful, and it was also beneficial to be beaten that time, so that the Chinese people could understand the gap and be brave after being ashamed. But there are also very serious sequelae of being beaten, since then, many people have given birth to the heart of admiring foreigners, foreigners fart is fragrant, many women want to marry foreigners by unscrupulous means, and many rich people have a good life, but they left their homeland and ran to a foreign country to become a slave.
Then the villages began to appear in large numbers, the size of the villages became larger and larger, and the buildings and living facilities became more and more perfect, Fei Xuan gradually put away his contempt, and began to objectively examine this civilization that was very foreign to him, and even wanted to stop and study the drainage system here when passing through a larger village.
Before noon, the four of them passed through seven or eight villages, all of which were uninhabited without exception, but through the observation of these villages, it is not difficult to find that they were all abandoned not long ago, and the shortest one did not last more than three days.
Hundreds of miles further, the four of them found the road, the road winds to the northwest, the road was originally about three zhang wide, but now it is more than ten zhang wide, there are serious trampling marks on both sides of the road, many big trees have been uprooted, and are thrown into the jungle on both sides. There are obvious ruts on the road, and based on the depth of the rolling, it can be judged that the vehicle to which the wheels belong is large and heavy.
In addition, there is a lot of feces on the road, these feces are large and small, the small ones are obviously human, and the large pile of feces belongs to the specific animals, but it is not clear what kind of animals they belong to, but it can be determined that their body shape is very terrifying, and the feces are the size of half a house.
Xunshuang extended his aura, scattered a pile of dung, and looked down, "Mainly grass, mixed with human bones, this thing not only eats grass, but also eats people." ”
"Why is it so filthy. Fei Xuan frowned and looked around, he was not talking about looking for frost, but about those soldiers who defecated in the open, and the road was everywhere.
"Their descendants are also unhygienic. Wu Dongfang said casually, through the observation of the feces, it can be judged that there was a large group of people passing here before, and the time can be roughly determined to be yesterday morning.
"Brother Wu, why is it so hot here?" Xin Tong wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
"It's not too hot now, and if it's summer, we won't be able to stand it. Wu Dongfang said that in ancient Babylon in today's Iraq, the temperature was higher than that of the Xia Dynasty.
"We may be late, the war should have begun. "Frost Hunt came over.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "Let's go, follow this path." ”
The four of them set out on the road again, traveled a hundred and ten miles north, crossed a high mountain, and a wide flat area appeared in front of them, and there was a large city in the north of the flat area, with a radius of more than thirty miles, which was about the size of the Jin tribe station.
The periphery of this city originally had a tall stone city wall and a moat up to more than ten meters wide, but at this time, the city wall collapsed in many places, and the moat was also blocked and filled, and the buildings in the city were seriously damaged, and smoke was emitted in many places, because it was in the late stage of burning, the smoke was not very large.
Although most of the buildings in the city have been destroyed, it can still be seen that the buildings are majestic and beautiful, and due to the great differences between Eastern and Western cultures, the style of the buildings is also different, and the buildings in the city are full of exotic atmosphere.
At this time, the war was over, and the city was quiet inside and outside, but this silence was filled with corpses, and a large number of men and women dressed in light yellow clothes dug pits outside the city under the supervision and coercion of soldiers armed with weapons.
"They haven't left yet, in the city. Fei Xuan said.
Wu Dongfang nodded, he could sense that there were a lot of alien auras in the city, two of them were similar to them, judging by the aura, it should be some kind of snake animal transformed into a human.
"The monster and the elephant should be blood relatives. Xin Tong pointed to the corpses of the monsters lying outside the city walls, which were somewhat similar to elephants, with long snouts, but much larger than elephants, five to six times the size of ordinary elephants, but they had no tusks and had hard bone plates on their faces, which were slightly similar to rhinoceros.
"It was they who destroyed the walls. Wu Dongfang looked at the corpses outside the city as he spoke, the army of ancient India who attacked this city should be the same as the current Indians, the ancient Indians are similar to the current Indians, with dark skin, untidy military appearance, wearing big pants, shirtless upper body, and dyes of various colors on their bodies, mostly in the image of fierce beasts.
The corpses outside the city are mainly from the besieging side, in addition to the soldiers, there are some unknown beasts, because the defenders may have used fuel such as oil to prevent foreign enemies from attacking, most of these beasts have been burned, I can't see what kind of specific kind, according to the shape, it should be a more aggressive dog or wolf.
"They will bury the people of the city alive. Fei Xuan raised his hand and pointed forward.
Wu Dongfang nodded again, the number of soldiers outside the city was not much, but hundreds, with a team of fifty people, each coerced a group of people to dig a pit, and there were quite a few people, there were nearly a thousand people in each place, and the total number must be more than 10,000.
"There's no trace of a fight here. Xunshuang said.
Hearing this, Wu Dongfang turned his head to look at Xun Shuang, what Xun Shuang said was exactly what he had focused on observing before, he wanted to find traces of fighting techniques on this battlefield, so as to assess the strength of both sides and the power of spells. There is only one possibility that there is no trace of fighting in the field, and that is that the wizard of the defending side did not arrive in time. It is unclear what exactly those who are able to do it are called, and they are called wizards.
"Let's go, go down and save people. Fei Xuan said.
Wu Dongfang shook his head, turned around and found a bluestone from the top of the mountain and sat down, "Don't worry, let's see ......."
