Chapter 413: The Origin
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhou Xiang's attitude was unexpectedly good. He immediately let go of the sharp sword in his hand when he heard the sound.
"Thank you, my friend." Elder Gui smiled and said politely, paused for a moment, and continued to speak: "You should also know that there are many dangers in the ancient tomb. One more person is more guaranteed. I wonder if you are interested in walking with us?
After all, we are all disciples of the top ten sects and are all our own people.”
"We are naturally happy." Zhou Xiang said first without waiting for others to answer: "How can we refuse to walk with an elder? However, it is best for me to lead the way later, after all, I am still good at exploring the tomb."
"Oh?" Elder Gui's face flashed with a strange look, and he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll bother my friend."
"You're welcome." Zhou Xiang waved his hand and walked to the front to start leading the way.
Zheng Shiyi followed behind, looking at Zhou Xiang's simple appearance on his face, and laughed secretly in his heart. Zhou Xiang could also pretend. Obviously, Zhou Xiang was in trouble, and then he found that someone came to his door and treated these people as cannon fodder.
I'm sorry that those people are their cannon fodder at this time.
In the crowd, Tao Jinming and Elder Gui walked at the end, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to this side, he asked quietly in confusion: "Elder, why is it so easy to let them go?"
"Silly!" Elder Gui's face showed a dissatisfaction when he heard the sound, and he stared at Tao Jinming in front of him and said coldly: "Do you still think that the other party clamped your sword because of luck?
Do you think the other party is a disciple of the Xuanming Sect and you can control it at will? Those people are not as simple as you think, especially those dozen soldiers, who are clearly old soldiers in the army.
We are already few, and if we forcefully fight them, we will suffer even more losses. Don’t forget that the purpose of our entry here is to find treasures, not to fight against others.
Now we are missing the cannon fodder we have explored in the front, so it is perfect for these people to be cannon fodder!"
"So that's how it is, elder is brilliant!" Tao Jinming finally understood.
Everyone walked forward, and slowly, the temperature around them was getting higher and higher. The sand under their feet was like burning charcoal fire. After walking for a while, the soles of their shoes were almost completely burned.
The sky above my head was covered with thick black air, and the light between heaven and earth suddenly became much dimmed, and the blue lightning was like a wave of iron whip, raging the entire sky.
There was a strong wind around, and the crying of ghosts from the abyss echoed in the distance.
"Why... why did the weather suddenly turn like this?"
"It's too hot, we can't find the water source again, we're all going to die!"
"Is this road right?"
As everyone walked along the way, there were still people complaining a few times at first, but slowly, the corners of their mouths became dry and cracked due to lack of water. When they spoke, they felt like their throats were smoking. Slowly, no one spoke again.
Suddenly, a whimper came from afar, and slowly, the sound became more and more. Everyone finally saw clearly that in the distance, a huge tornado appeared. The tornado seemed to be bordering the heaven and earth. As it rotated, yellow sand rose all over the sky.
In the distance, strange beasts several feet tall were suddenly swept into the range where the tornado was located, rolled up high with the wind, accompanied by screams, red blood, liver, and meat were minced together, rotating with the wind.
"A strange beast several feet long, just as soon as it stepped into that area, was sucked away and was instantly grinded into meat sauce."
"What a terrifying tornado, fortunately, it seems that the tornado cannot move."
Everyone let out a long sigh, their eyes turned, and looked at the other side, but their eyes suddenly widened!
In the golden desert, a turquoise green appeared.
oasis!
"It's an oasis, we finally see the oasis!"
"Oasis, just those strange beasts..."
Around the oasis, strange beasts were gathering quickly towards the other side. Among them, the one who rushed in the front was a strange beast that was more than ten feet long, covered with sharp thorns, and purple.
As if he was afraid that other strange beasts would snatch something, he opened his mouth and spewed out a flame. In an instant, the sea of fire filled the sky. Around him, several strange beasts with similar sizes seemed to be burned to ashes by the sea of fire.
"This...is this the legendary purple electric cloud beast?
"Just a random gust of flames spewed out, and the strange beast more than ten feet long was instantly burned to ashes!"
"It seems that we don't have a chance to drink water!"
The purple electric cloud beast slowly walked to the riverside, opened its mouth, and the water in the river flew towards its mouth like a fountain. The river water continued to rush into its body, but its belly did not swell at all, but shriveled at an extremely fast speed.
"The water must have something wrong with the river water it drinks!" Everyone quickly understood the reason.
The purple electric cloud beast seemed to understand the reason. It struggled to shut its mouth, but found that its body was uncontrollable. As the river water rushed into his body uncontrollably, its body's shriveling speed continued to accelerate. In a moment, its originally huge body had turned into a shriveled skin.
Around the surroundings, strange beasts saw this and turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly a suction force came from the water, pulling the nearby strange beasts into the water.
The river water, which originally seemed quite calm, suddenly burst into countless bubbles, like boiled water, rolling continuously.
Slowly, shriveled skins flew out of the river.
"This...the river water will take the initiative to suck an alien beast!"
"These are all strange beasts just now. All the kung fu is turned into skins!"
"What the hell is this! It's fine if the tornado is powerful, but now even an oasis **** is so scary! What kind of bird place is this!" Tao Jinming couldn't help but curse again.
Around him, disciples from the Wan Beast Sect heard the sound and started to curse.
Zhou Xiang frowned and quickly turned around and looked at Tao Jinming and said, "This is the tomb of the Martial Saint. There is a curse of the Martial Saint. If you don't want to die, shut up."
"Curse? You're crazy. The Martial Saint has been dead for many years. So what if I scold him!" Tao Jinming glared at Zhou Xiang as if he was looking at a fool, and then cursed loudly: "What if I want to scold me, what if I want to scold me? This bird place.
And curse, the dead bird Martial Saint, if you have the ability, you will curse me now!"
Zheng Shiyi looked at Tao Jinming who was yelling like a rogue. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Just as he wanted to take action, Zhou Xiang's hand reached over and grabbed his hand.
"Don't do it, Lao Shi, there is really a curse here, it's even more troublesome to get infected with murderous aura." Zhou Xiang looked at Zheng Shiyi and shook his head vigorously. Although he also wanted to kill the barking dog, he couldn't, because the consequences would be even more serious.
"It's really troublesome. If I had known this, I would rather not have these cannon fodders at that time." Zheng Shiyi sighed helplessly and walked away.
Although the surrounding environment seemed to be getting worse and worse, under Zhou Xiang's leadership, there was no major danger along the way. Everyone still followed Zhou Xiang very consciously and continued to lead the way by Zhou Xiang.
Walking here, there will always be endless mountains ahead, and there will be no end. The tornado sand and oasis will always be on their left and right. It feels like following them and they will never be able to surpass them. Over time, it will even give them the feeling that they have been standing still.
The dead tree that was struck by lightning and turned black, with cactus more than ten meters high and full of thorns. The gophers that jumped out of the sand and quickly sneaked into the ground kept passing by their eyes.
Below their noses were endless flat sand roads that had not been trampled by others, and behind them were rows of footprints of varying depths left by them.
The Greedy Wolf Peak will always stand in the clearest place, just like the firelight that appears in the dark night. Although I don’t know how long it will take to reach that place, everyone firmly believes that as long as I keep moving forward, I will reach there one day.
The day has passed, and the Tianlang Peak is still so far away from everyone, but the difference is the changing scenery back and forth.
Two days have passed, and everything is still the same. Even the scenery you encountered is repeating the previous ones.
Three days have passed, and the Greedy Wolf Peak is still so far away, as if it will never be able to reach that place. The only difference is that everyone has gone from being raised with their chests and headed up to bend over and leaning on their weapons, walking forward step by step.
The complaints in the team have disappeared, and one or two sentences may appear in a day. It’s not that they don’t want to complain, but that everyone understands that in this situation, the best way is to remain silent and preserve their physical strength.
After three days, they were even numb, just knowing that they were following Zhou Xiang in front of them.
Slowly, as he walked, Zhou Xiang suddenly stopped and stared blankly in front of him.
Footprints, there are footprints in front of you!
I was the first to enter here, so it was impossible for someone to leave footprints here, and it was in front of me and wait for others.
Besides, why didn’t I see footprints before, but I just saw footprints today!
These footprints can only explain one reason. I am waiting for others and have returned to the starting point!
"Why did you stop suddenly? What's wrong?"
Everyone behind looked at Zhou Xiang who suddenly stopped. After a day of dullness, they finally made a sound.
"We seem to be walking back." Zhou Xiang stretched out his hand helplessly and pointed at the footprints in front of him.
"What? I'm walking back!" Behind, the people of the Wan Beast Sect changed their faces after hearing the sound, rushed over and looked in the direction pointed by Zhou Xiang.
Footprints... are really footprints, we really return to the origin ourselves.
I have been waiting for people here for so long and suffered so much sin, but in the end everything is futile!
"You...boy, you fool us!"
"You don't know the way, why do you lead the way! I'm wondering why you haven't encountered any danger these days. It turns out that you've been walking in the same place!"
"If I had known, I would have killed these guys. What's the use of keeping them? Just take us wherever we are!"
