Chapter Fifty-Six: Entering Southern Xinjiang
Hongzhi shook his head and said, "Why didn't I think of it? Hey, we were all in anger just now, and we were really confused." β
The sea dragon snorted and said, "If you think of everything, you are my big brother." Now think of something else. β
"Don't think about it, I have a way. The ethereal voice sounded, and everyone looked at her, only to see that her pretty face showed a layer of luster and luster, obviously having been fully cultivated. Smiling slightly, he said ethereally: "Don't worry, everyone, let's ask these villagers first, and then go to the mastermind behind the scenes." β
At this moment, an elderly villager walked towards the crowd, and although he still had a frightened look on his face, he kept approaching the crowd. Hongzhi greeted him and said with a pleasant face: "This old man, don't be afraid, we are all good people, and we are from the Zhao Song Kingdom to worship the palace." I'm here to destroy these monsters for you. β
The old man became bold, and with the support of Hongji, he staggered to the front of everyone, plopped, he fell to the ground with tears streaming down his face, and said gratefully: "Thank you all the immortal masters for saving our village, it's terrifying! β
Hailong helped the old man up and said, "Uncle, don't get excited, what the hell is going on, you tell us carefully, maybe we can help you get rid of the root of these monsters." β
The old man nodded and said, "I am Ma Xing, the head of this village, and our village is called Majia Village, which is the largest village in the vicinity." We don't know exactly what's going on. This morning was fine, our villagers were plowing as usual, at noon, everyone was tired, and after coming back for lunch, they were ready to rest and rest, and then proceed to the afternoon work. But at that moment came a man dressed in black, who seemed to be a man, and he came to us for a walk, and we were always hospitable, and kindly asked him if he needed help, but he ignored him. Just talking to himself, so many people are enough to feed my treasures. Now that I think about it, those monsters are probably the ones he summoned. Just now, seeing that it was evening, we suddenly heard a roar like thunder, everyone was tired from the day, and every family was ready to make dinner, and when we heard this abnormal sound, we couldn't help but come out to see. As a result, something terrible happened, and the monsters we had never seen before rushed into the village, and they had come from the direction from which they had fled, and the fence outside the village had no effect on them. Women and children, they kill and eat people when they see them, and our sturdy houses are like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of them, and even if they hide in them, they have no effect. I took a look just now, and at least nearly half of the villagers were eaten by them. If it weren't for the timely arrival of all the immortal masters, I'm afraid our village and our village would be finished. Speaking of this, Ma Xing cried bitterly.
The sea dragon took a deep breath, the cold glint in his eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at the ethereal. Miao said calmly: "Let's go, let's go to the messenger, I have a magic weapon called Smell Fragrance Trace, which can be traced according to the smell." With a wave of her hand, a small gray ball appeared in her palm, and she muttered a few words of law, and with a flash of light, the ball actually fell to the ground, turning into something like a mouse, and under the ethereal urging, it quickly turned around the village, and rushed out to find the route of the previous monster's escape.
Miao Xiang said to the horse: "Village chief, you first comfort the villagers and let everyone repair their homes." As for the monsters, we'll leave it to us. You can rest assured, with us here, we will never let those demons come to your village to wreak havoc again. With that, she floated up and chased after her scent. Hailong and the others didn't dare to slack off, Hongzhi and Zhishui took the Huang Han brothers and sisters respectively and quickly followed.
The Smell Trail moved forward at a very fast speed, and the ethereal watched its movements very calmly, feeling the discovery of the Smell Trail with mana at any time. After a while, they were far away from the village. The smell of the fragrance continued to move forward, but the sea dragon faintly felt that something was wrong. He flew to Ethereal, took her hand and said, "Wife, you wait a minute." β
After a moment's pause, he stopped and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
The sea dragon shook his head and said, "It's because you didn't find me that I feel strange." Are you sure you've always felt the scent of a monster in your scent?"
Miao nodded firmly, and said, "It can't be wrong, my smell of incense has indeed been feeling the breath of monsters." β
The sea dragon bowed his head and said, "This is a contradiction. Did you notice that after we left the village, we walked at least ten kilometers away, and although we didn't see too many people along the way, there were two small and large villages. If those monsters followed this route to the village of the village chief, then why could those two small villages be spared, with the ferocity shown by the monsters, this is not reasonable at all, I am absolutely wrong. β
Miao Miao's face changed greatly, and said, "It's not good, I'm afraid there is something wrong with that horse shop, let's go back quickly." After speaking, he urged the mana to the limit and quickly returned to the original path.
Ten kilometers was just a flash for cultivators like Sea Dragon, and when they returned to the big village, they couldn't help but be stunned. The village was a dead silence, and the breeze blew, eerie, like hell on earth. There was not a single living person in the entire village, and the villagers who had been spared had already fallen in a pool of blood, and the only luck they had compared to those who had been killed by the monster was to keep a complete corpse. Seeing the scene in front of her, Zhishui was furious, with her status in the cultivation realm, when had she been humiliated like this, and shouted: "Bastard, you come out for me." has the ability to fight face-to-face with me. The whole body was full of momentum, and the blue light was constantly fluctuating.
Miao Miao sighed and said, "It's all because I'm too confident in smelling the fragrance." If we had split into two ways just now and stayed here with two people, it wouldn't have become like this. β
The sea dragon squeezed his ethereal little hand and comforted: "It's useless to say anything now, don't think about anything." Let's see what kind of injuries these villagers are doing, and then let's look for that bastard. Ethereal nodded gloomily, and everyone went to investigate the surrounding corpses, and the result was the same, these villagers were all killed by sharp blades with their throats.
The sea dragon frowned and said, "I really don't understand why that guy hiding in the shadows hates these villagers so much? What is the use of killing these ordinary civilians? Even if it is an evil way, unless it has a special purpose, it will not kill so many civilians." There must be something strange about this. As he spoke, he stood in place, urging the divine power in his body to release his divine consciousness, feeling the fluctuations of life around him, with the cultivation of the sea dragon in the middle of the current non-falling, in an instant, among all the senses within a radius of ten miles, the divine power is much more sensitive than the mana of the Tianxin Decision. When he used the Spirit Decision, Miao Miao and the others opened their heavenly eyes one after another, looking for them with the method of heavenly vision. After a while, the sea dragon opened his eyes and smiled, "Okay, you don't have to look for it anymore." I know where that guy is. Hongji said happily: "Big brother, you found him." Where?"
Hailong said: "I didn't find him. But I already knew a rough idea of where he was. Just now, I took a look outside with my spirit and found that there were hardly any clues within a radius of ten miles around. β
Hongzhi shook his eyes and said, "There are no clues? Then you still say that you know where he is." Hailong smirked: "It's because I didn't know because there was no clue! You think about it, we came back so quickly that that guy didn't have time to clean up the scene after killing someone." With our cultivation, at such a close distance, no matter which direction he runs, I'm afraid he will be caught up in the end. So, I judged, he didn't leave and was still in the village. The fact that Ling had not found any clues just now strengthened my thoughts. Speaking of this, the sea dragon suddenly let go of his voice and shouted to the dead corpses of the villagers: "Don't hide anymore, come out." Otherwise, I will use the Samadhi True Fire to refine all the test questions here, and when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't even have the slightest chance to escape. As he spoke, the sea dragon silently recited the Fa decision, a dark red true fire lit up, the flames appeared, and the air continued to twist as if it had been scorched, and the hottest energy made the little ghost and Huang Han brother and sister who had cultivated weakly couldn't help but retreat aside. The sea dragon's eyes flickered with coldness, and he paid close attention to the dead bodies of the villagers in front of him. Although he is not sure yet, he believes that there is at least one chance that Banna will be right.
For a long time, there was no movement in the dead body, and Zhishui was about to say something, but was stopped by Ethereal. The sea dragon's eyes lit up with a hint of strangeness, and with a wave of his hand, he suddenly released a flame and wanted to fly away from the corpse. The Samadhi True Fire is his own Yuanyang fire, its power is so powerful that it is far from being comparable to the extraordinary fire energy, where the flames passed, the corpses were all turned into ashes, just a swipe around, and suddenly dozens of corpses turned into ashes. Hailong thought to himself, these corpses have to be disposed of anyway, and burning them will save the infection of germs, which is the most suitable, even if his judgment is wrong, it is nothing to burn all the corpses here. While he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation of energy, and the essence in his eyes flashed, and the samadhi true fire suddenly flourished, burning towards the corpse that emitted energy fluctuations.
"Roar-" The corpse exploded, the clothes on the body were scattered, and a mouthful of white mist-like energy spewed out, and it actually blocked the sea dragon's samadhi true fire. This white mist is not to say that the sea dragon has never seen it, even the ethereal is the first time to see it, seeing the enemy appear, the water stop Daozun was the first to rush out, the light in his hand flashed, the disc-shaped prayer wheel flew out, the halo flowed, and the prayer wheel made a heart-wrenching whining sound and flew towards the man in black in a rapid rotation. Zhishui obviously hated this person very much, and he was ruthless, praying for the heavenly wheel to pass by, and a chasm was drawn on the ground.
Miao Miao shouted: "Senior sister, leave him alive." The water-stopping method was incised, and the man in black seemed to want to resist, but under the effect of the huge immortal qi of the Heavenly Prayer Wheel, his whole body shook violently, and the blue light flashed, and the man in black suddenly collapsed to the ground. The Heavenly Prayer Wheel was suspended above his head and trembled slightly, under the effect of this top immortal weapon, even if he changed to a sea dragon, the end would be the same.
Everyone quickly gathered around and looked at the man in black, this was a very ordinary person, with a long scar on the left side of his face, which spread to the jaw, looking a little more vicious, his face was pale, his whole body was constantly trembling, obviously enduring great pain, and there seemed to be some white smoke coming out of his body, giving people a strange feeling. Zhishui said coldly: "Say, who are you?Did you kill all the villagers here, and what's going on with those monsters?"
With a flick of his finger, a blue light flashed, and it suddenly pierced the right shoulder of the man in black, and under the severe pain, the man in black trembled even more, and he said hatefully in a stiff voice: "You wait, the great god will punish you." After speaking, his whole body stiffened, and he slowly fell to the ground, motionless, and a wisp of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Huang Han squatted down, looked at it carefully, and said, "This guy killed himself by chewing his tongue." Zhishui was furious, and just wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a strong force coming, quickly leading all of them back in an instant, the air suddenly scorched, and a circle of dark red flames instantly surrounded the body of the man in black. As soon as the flames formed, a loud bang was heard, and the body of the man in black exploded into powder, and the gray mist quickly drifted around. The dark red flames suddenly converged, and the gray mist fluctuated violently, and was wiped out in an instant, and a foul smell of burnt paste wafted in the air.
Miao Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's so dangerous." Hailong knew that it was Miao Miao who led everyone back just now, and couldn't help but wonder and said: "What's going on? How do you know that person's test questions will explode?" This person just now should be from the Qiang people in southern Xinjiang, they are the same as the Miao people, they are good at using Gu techniques, and I can see it from the tattoo on his neck. This Qiang people are extremely brave, once they encounter an enemy that they can't resist, they will use their own body as a medium to release their natal Gu, as long as this Gu invades their body, they will turn into pus and die in a moment or three, which is extremely vicious. Although we are not afraid of our cultivation, Huang Han and Huang Sui are not. In the big gray mist just now, there are at least hundreds of millions of Gu worms, once they go out and wreak havoc, I am afraid that the living beings within a hundred miles of the surrounding area will be in danger. Fortunately, Gu insects are naturally afraid of fire. β
This is the first time that Hai Long has heard of such a creature as Gu worms, although Miao Miao said it seriously, he is a little unimpressed, anyway, these Gu worms will not have any effect on a master of cultivation like him. Huang Han's brother and sister's faces turned pale, and Huang Han said: "Gu, I have heard it before, it seems to be a very ancient witchcraft, which is used in the hands of the people of Southern Xinjiang, and can even resist thousands of troops. However, Gu worms have some drawbacks, and once they leave the hot and humid environment of southern Xinjiang, it will be difficult to survive. The appearance of the Qiang people in our Zhao and Song Kingdoms this time is probably not a good omen! Thanks to Uncle Shi's timely action, otherwise, Xiao Sui and I would have been finished. Miao Miao sighed lightly and said: "Actually, Gu worms are not completely impossible to deal with, when encountering Gu worm attacks, you must use mana to spread all over the body meridians, so that even if Gu worms enter the body, you can force them out, after entering the southern Xinjiang, you two must always be vigilant, because we don't know when we will encounter this kind of crisis." β
Zhishui said coldly: "Senior sister, Xiao Sui is protected by me, and Huang Han will be handed over to Hailong and them, as long as you are careful, you should be fine." We immediately set off for southern Xinjiang, and I want to see who is so bold as to dare to send monsters to the Central Plains of Shenzhou to make trouble. Southern Xinjiang is very mysterious, let's go and sweep those barbarians thoroughly, let them know how powerful we are. β
Under the ethereal fire of samadhi, this originally vibrant village turned into a sea of fire, and the end of thousands of human lives filled everyone's hearts with anger. For any race, the invasion of foreign races must not be allowed, and relying on their own powerful Xiuyi, Hailong and the others re-embarked on the road to the southern frontier. Due to the recovery of ethereal mana, the speed of everyone's progress suddenly increased a lot.
............
Boom, a large stone table suddenly turned into powder, and Jin Thirteen was furious, gasping unsteadily. The four demon protector kings stood on either side of him, and no one dared to say a word, they all knew that Jin Thirteen, who was in anger, had done everything. "Bastard, the two bastards, Evil Ancestor and Heaven, dare to underestimate me. Okay, okay, I'll make you pay. Black Wind, come here. β
Black Wind, the Angry Feather Eagle King, hurriedly took two steps forward and said respectfully, "Sect Master, you command." Jin Thirteen said coldly: "Among the masters of my demon clan, you have the fastest speed of action." You leave here now and go to Southern Xinjiang, all four of you are from Southern Xinjiang with me, and you are my most trusted subordinates, and this matter must be done. Hei Feng, after you arrive in southern Xinjiang, go back to the Tanla tribe to find my younger brother, and ask him to bring the masters of the clan to come over to support me, with the cultivation of the fourteenth, as long as we unite, where can we still fear their demons and evil clans. β
Hei Feng's whole body was shocked, and he said, "Sect Master, if you let the second master bring a master over, I'm afraid we will lose ground on the southern side of Xinjiang." That's our base!"
Jin 13 snorted and said, "Don't I know these things better than you? When I took you out of the mountain and subdued the Demon Sect here, I fell in love with the vast and fertile land of the Central Plains of Shenzhou. Although southern Xinjiang is good, it is a corner of peace after all, and the Central Plains is the place where we can show our talents. Although the other races in southern Xinjiang are ferocious, they may not be able to do anything if they go to our Tanla tribe. Don't forget, the Qiang Moha god and the Miao Soto god have always been mortal enemies, without the balance of our Tanla tribe in it, I am afraid that they will immediately start a civil war, and it will not be long before we go back, maybe we can easily occupy the entire southern Xinjiang. Hmph, I've already calculated this. You tell Fourteen what I think, and ask him to bring out all the seven elders of the clan. As long as we unify the evil path here, isn't this land of Shenzhou the only one?"
Hei Feng said respectfully: "It's still the sect master's thoughtfulness, and my subordinates will go to the southern frontier." With that, he quickly retreated.
Jin Thirteen's eyes were cold, his handsome face revealed a trace of evil brilliance, his eyes flashed with essence, and he said to the other three demon protectors: "You all go down." Before my brother comes, restrain all his subordinates not to have any conflict with the evil and demon sects easily. Heaven, Evil Ancestor, you wait. When my brother Jin 14 arrives, it will be the end of you, and Lao Junlu will be in the hands of our brother sooner or later. In this land of Shenzhou, in fact, only our southern Xinjiang people are the most powerful, even if the good and evil are combined, they may not be able to fight my southern Xinjiang. Only we, the grandsons of the beast kings, are truly strong. Haha, haha. The creepy shrill laughter echoed through the air, adding to the darkness of the cave.
............
Hailong stood on his golden cloud in a daze, looking at everything in front of him, and said suspiciously: "Is this the so-called southern Xinjiang of poor mountains and bad waters?" After more than a day of rapid flight, they finally left the territory of Zhao Song Kingdom and came to the border of southern Xinjiang, which covers an extremely wide area and is not smaller than the Western Regions at all. In front of the sea dragon's eyes, there are majestic peaks, although these peaks are nothing at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, but they are completely covered with vegetation, they are undulating and full of life. Looking down from the top, I saw the waterfalls and flowing springs in the mountains, the sound of insects and birds kept coming, and the clouds and mist passed everywhere, just like a fairyland. In addition to the ethereal and the water-stopping, the five of them came to southern Xinjiang for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little crazy when they saw the beautiful scenery in front of them.
Miao Miao sighed lightly and said, "Yes! Such a beautiful scenery is rare in the Central Plains of Shenzhou, but it is everywhere in Southern Xinjiang. However, I still want to say that this is a poor mountain and a bad water. This seemingly calm mountain forest contains countless dangers, and if you are not careful, even a cultivator will fall into a state of no return. β
The sea dragon glanced at Ethereal, pointed to a mountain col and said, "No." You see, there are more than a dozen alien people washing clothes over there, and I can clearly see the satisfied smiles on their faces with the Celestial Vision, which is a completely peaceful scene! Miao said: "Those should be the Yi people in southern Xinjiang, they are also one of the few peace-loving races in southern Xinjiang, the Yi people are very weak, and they can only live on the edge of this southern Xinjiang." Compared with the large clans like the Qiang, the number of people is less than one percent. They have lived here since childhood, and they are naturally well aware of everything in the forest and have corresponding defenses against all dangers. I haven't been to southern Xinjiang for many years, I can't tell you the specifics, but what I can tell you is that only one-tenth of the waterfalls and springs you see in front of you can drink at most, and the others are highly poisonous. Now that we're here, we have to be extra careful. Didn't you bring a lot of food? Along the way, you, I, Shisui, and Hongji didn't eat for the time being. Leave that food to the little ghosts, and the food and water in southern Xinjiang are not allowed to touch. β
Seeing the seriousness of what Miao Miao said, the sea dragon nodded subconsciously. After passing through the mountain range in front of them, the group of seven people slowly fell to the ground. Zhishui pulled Huang Sui and said: "In the sphere of influence of southern Xinjiang, there are almost no plains, many hills, mountains and forests, and there are also dangerous swamps. There are also cultivators from different races in southern Xinjiang, but they are different from us cultivators. Since there are a large number of alien beasts in southern Xinjiang, those cultivators not only cultivate themselves, but most of them will also tame monsters for their own use. We can't fly anymore, otherwise, once discovered, it will inevitably cause an attack by the people of southern Xinjiang. β
Hailong stood in place, frowning, and said, "Can't fly? We don't have any goal on this trip, if we can't fly, what's the point of going on like this?
Zhishui glared at him disdainfully, did not say anything, and said ethereally: "Dragon, don't worry. The last time Zhishui and I came here was 2,000 years ago. On that occasion, we helped the Yi people here. A short walk from here will take us to the Yi tribe, where we may be able to ask something before deciding on the goal of the trip. There's something I want to remind you, and also to remind Hongji and the little ghost. For the southern Xinjiang, you must be vigilant, here, not only those desolate beasts are difficult to deal with, but even those who are really high in cultivation will not be less than the Central Plains. If all the cultivators in Southern Xinjiang were united, it would definitely not be something that our Lian Yun Sect could deal with. β
Hailong's heart was cold, after many reminders of the ethereal, he knew that this southern Xinjiang is indeed full of weirdness and magic, Hailong has not known how to write afraid words since he was a child, not only did not make him afraid, but also stimulated his deep curiosity, hugged the ethereal willow waist, and said: "Wife, don't worry." We won't be careless, after all, I've been through so much, I'm not a child anymore. β
Zhishui snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if you are careless, as long as you don't involve us." After speaking, without waiting for the sea dragon to attack, he walked towards the dense forest in front of him.
Although the road in the primeval forest is not easy to walk, it is nothing to Hailong and the others, even Huang Sui, who has the worst cultivation, can easily keep up with the pace of everyone. While he was marching, the sea dragon who was walking in the front suddenly heard a strange sound, which was the sound of trembling, and the sound appeared very densely, and the sea dragon hurriedly took out his Qianjun stick, ready to respond at any time. At this moment, a strange thing happened, the surrounding trees with entangled branches actually moved, the uncle swayed slightly at first, and then, countless vines instantly rushed out from all directions, entangled towards the sea dragon. The sea dragon just wanted to urge the mana to use the prohibition to remove these vines, but he heard Miao anxiously shouting, "Don't resist, everyone. If it is said that the sea dragon trusts the most people now, Miao Miao must be one of them, hearing her voice, the sea dragon subconsciously dispersed the mana he was about to attack just now. The vines were quickly entangled, and in an instant, everyone only felt that their whole bodies were tight, and their bodies suddenly broke away from the ground and were lifted high, and the vines were very tightly entangled, and after entangling them, they were held up in the air and swayed continuously. The sea dragon turned his head to look at the ethereal, only to see her smile at herself, and said: "Don't move, everyone, this kind of winding tree is very intelligent, and they are also very united, once we hurt one of them, this winding tree within a radius of tens of square miles will be our enemy, and it will be difficult to move an inch at that time." Hailong shook his head and said, "It's okay not to resist, but we can't be hung here all the time, right? β
With a mysterious smile, he turned his head to look at the smiling Zhishui, and said, "Speaking of which, these winding trees that have grown for thousands of years are already our old friends, so don't move." In fact, the winding tree is very kind, but it is very naughty, and it is just playing with us. See me help you out. With a flash of light, a feather-like magic weapon flew out of Ethereal. It fluttered lightly in the air, flipped a few times, and had come to a tangled tree, close to the root of the vine, and gently pouted a few times. The body of the entwined tree trembled violently, and after a while, the whole tree began to writhe continuously, and under the surprised gaze of Hailong and others, the entangled ethereal vines unexpectedly loosened, and very politely put her on the ground.
Miao Miao smiled and commanded the feather-like magic weapon to continue to flutter, and after a while, all the surrounding winding trees trembled violently, and Hailong and the others naturally regained their freedom. And all the winding trees in the distance withdrew their vines, and even gave way to make a way, as if to send everyone forward.
The sea dragon said in surprise: "Wife, what's going on? What kind of magic weapon are you, it's so powerful?" Miao Miao grinned and said, "What kind of magic weapon is this, it's just an ordinary feather." This entanglement tree is actually very easy to deal with, he is naughty by nature but the most afraid of itching, just now I used his feather to scratch its itch, he naturally wanted to let us go. Let's go. β
