036 Stygian Wind
According to a map that Xue Zhen obtained from the sturdy man in the man's storage ring, which was not too detailed, the nearest Terran city here, if he chased it quickly, it might take a hundred years to arrive, and Xue Zhen naturally would not be in a hurry for a while.
In fact, Xue Zhen had also discovered a lot of things that could be used along the way, such as some refining materials that could strengthen the hardness of the artifact, some flowers and plants that could be used to refine spirit wine, or plants that assisted the alchemy refiner, etc., even if the grade was not too high, it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye.
However, various crises lurked before, and Xue Zhen could only think about it in advance from the aspect of self-defense, besides, the biggest problem was that there was no storage ring before, and there was no corresponding space to stack these materials at all.
Now, while Xue Zhen is consciously moving forward, he is collecting all the materials that he can use, the stacking of the pile, the sealing of the seal, and Xue Zhen's journey has also slowed down a lot.
On this day, when Xue Zhen had just collected, sealed and put several kinds of herbs from one of the small jungles into the storage ring, suddenly, a feeling that was not very good came from his heart, and at this moment, Xue Zhen couldn't help but float up, his mind was released, and his eyes began to look around.
"Huh, that's ...... over there."
Xue Zhen's gaze was quickly placed in front of his left side, less than a thousand miles away, between two towering mountains that may reach three thousand zhang, a scroll is very grotesque and erratic, like the color of black Xuan, but it is not the color of black Xuan, there are about dozens of black tornadoes that are there like willows swinging in the wind, these black tornadoes are constantly colliding with each other, but they are strangely not showing any signs of strengthening or weakening, which is also what makes Xue Zhen feel strange.
Within these weird black tornadoes, the kind of indescribable that overflowed, Xue Zhen always felt some kind of uneasiness, and sent his eyes over again, looking at them intently, within one of the black tornadoes, a very vague humanoid shadow appeared in the black tornado, and disappeared without a trace, as if someone was driving these black tornadoes.
One after another, Xue Zhen also found different figures from other black tornadoes, including tall and twisted women, sturdy seven-foot men, and old men in their last years, one by one, the black tornadoes danced enchantingly, which really made people feel an inexplicable chill rising from their hearts.
Originally, according to Xue Zhen's character, he would definitely intervene in this kind of excitement, but a secret order in his heart prompted him to stay still, and his mind swept away with concentration, and soon, Xue Zhen seemed to have discovered something incredible, and his face was suddenly tense and he muttered almost silently.
"Stygian?"
"No, such an ordinary place, it is impossible to go straight to the underworld!"
"But this is obviously the Stygian Wind!"
"Am I mistaken?"
“......”
At this time, Xue Zhen was like a contradictory body, speaking on his own, and quickly refuting what he had just said.
As Xue Zhen said, the road to the underworld is not possible in a casual place, such a wild place, at least in Xue Zhen's impression and memory, it is impossible for the underworld to open the passage in such broad daylight, if this is the case, ghosts and people have different paths, and the world will be in chaos.
However, judging from Xue Zhen's eyesight, the black tornado that appeared at the mouth of the Shuangshan Mountain was undoubtedly the rumored wind, Xue Zhen's eyebrows were deeply furrowed at this moment, and in the end, Xue Zhen still chose to stay where he was and look quietly.
During this period, at the mouth of the Shuangshan Mountains over there, there were about more than ten volumes of dark winds, constantly shuttling back and forth, twisting and dancing, and after nearly three days of observation, Xue Zhen did not find an increase or decrease, but the shape of these black tornadoes was shrinking at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
Such a sign, in Xue Zhen's opinion, is naturally a good point, if the dark wind continues to grow and grow, or even increase in number, fleeing will be Xue Zhen's first choice.
Due to the obstruction of some perspectives, Xue Zhen almost relied on his divine thoughts to distinguish these dark winds, and the places where more than ten volumes of dark winds landed were just some plain granite boulders, but some extremely fine cracks appeared on the boulders, which may be related to the appearance of the dark winds.
"These dark winds are definitely not here all the time, otherwise Xue would have noticed such a thousand miles away, but why they suddenly appeared, it is really a bit confusing!"
Xue Zhen secretly guessed again, but he still didn't leave immediately, after all, those dark winds showed signs of slowing down, just like that, Xue Zhen hung here for nearly two years, almost not moving, and directly watched those dark winds gradually shrink and finally tend to nothing, Xue Zhen didn't mean to go to find out, raised his light again, and galloped away towards the place he had identified.
"There is a dark wind here, if it were to be placed in that city, it might have attracted countless visitors, and the reason for this will eventually be revealed to the world!" Xue Zhen, who was driving the light forward, remembered something again.
"But then again, the years I've experienced there are not too short, and I haven't heard of anything like the appearance of the Stygian Wind at all, even if it's some allusions, it's rarely mentioned, and it's only been a long time since I came to this small interface, and this kind of strange thing has actually happened!"
Thinking about it, Xue Zhen sighed slightly, groaned softly for a while, and soon, Xue Zhen galloped towards the place he had identified.
"It's really in response to that sentence, strange things happen every year, and there are a lot of them this year!"
Along the way, Xue Zhen did not encounter anything bigger, some of the more bloodthirsty and violent beasts and birds, Xue Zhen had his own blade, with the corresponding sword skills, it was effortless to deal with.
In this way, Xue Zhen released his thoughts to check as he walked along the way, almost anything that was useful to himself, Xue Zhen was like a little rich man in the storage ring, and the huge space in the storage ring was crowded by Xue Zhen so east and west, several times, Xue Zhen needed to rearrange the stacking in the storage ring to be enough.
As he got closer to the target's location, Xue Zhen's harvest became less and less, until Xue Zhen met the second Terran monk, nearly a hundred and fifty years had passed.
Continuing to move forward, Xue Zhen also learned the languages of those human races intentionally or unintentionally, but this way of learning was not clever, and Xue Zhen had not been able to learn much, so he came to the destination of this trip.
Alum City.
