Chapter 77: Team Convergence

Finally, some people couldn't stand it anymore. They secretly left Shacheng and wanted to go out to find food. They saw the Burning Man wandering outside.

They had heard about the ferocity of burning people and were so frightened that they had no choice but to retreat to the city.

But this is still not an option. They are all so hungry that their faces are yellow and their muscles are thin. If they don't have food, they will definitely starve to death.

Since the outcome for both sides was death, they might as well fight for their own lives. Finally, they decided to gather dozens of people to go out together and take risks to bring back food.

Although the idea was good, they were no match for the Burning Man. Every time the warriors went out, all the warriors died outside and never came back.

Such days did not last long, and the calm was soon broken.

There was a man who successfully escaped the burning people outside the city and got food in the oasis. He was everyone's hope. He must deliver the food. He went out smoothly and came back smoothly.

But he didn't know that when he slipped in through the side door, he was only focused on his home in front of him and didn't notice the burning man following him.

He put the burning man in.

Although only one was brought in, a burning man was not something ordinary people with no strength could handle.

The Burning Man regards everyone in the city as his prey. He goes in one house at a time, and every time he enters, one of the whole family is destroyed.

Many people in Shacheng died in this one-sided fighting.

The day Song Shiyin and the others came was the fifth day after the tragedy happened. People in every household hid as much as possible. No one dared to go out. Therefore, the side door where people were put on fire was always open.

It's like a vicious cycle. The Burning Man calls out to his companions, which leads to more and more Burning Man coming to the city, making the people's situation even more disadvantageous.

The woman they met today was an aunt who usually took care of the children. Due to the shortage of food, every household needed someone to go out to look for food, but they also had children to take care of.

Someone came up with a way. During the day, they sent the children to the same family, gathered together, and took turns selecting people to take care of them, and their parents needed to pay.

No one expected that the disaster would come suddenly. The children had been here for five days. Their parents were dead, injured, missing, and never saw each other again.

Now, the only person who took care of them died in the hands of the burning man.

Song Shiyin and the others finally figured out the situation, but they didn't expect that the residents of Shacheng had experienced so many things.

The little sister only knew so much, so Song Shiyin asked a few more questions, such as where did the Burning Man come from? Has there been any similar situation in Shachen's past history?

The little sister shook her head. She was a little sad because she didn't answer Song Shiyin's question.

Song Shiyin touched her head and encouraged her: "You have done a great job. You have told your sister and brother very useful information. Just rest for a while. Don't worry."

After turning around, Song Shiyin sighed. She took Zhuo Guang to another place, and the two of them discussed the next countermeasures.

"Currently, we still don't know where this Burning Man came from, but judging from the current clues, we should be on the hostile side of the Burning Man." Song Shiyin thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"There are still too few clues. What does this secret realm want us to do? Is it to exterminate the burning people, or to solve the crisis of national annihilation in Sand Dust? Or to figure out the secret of the burning people?"

"Is the king really innocent in the whole incident? Is the conjoined baby girl born by the queen really an ominous thing? Is the disaster in Shacheng really caused by this incident?" Song Shiyin frowned.

Thinking and talking.

Her thoughts flowed through the incident, but she could never connect them together.

After being silent for a while, Zhuo Guang said: "Let's write down these questions first, and analyze them one by one in the future when there are more clues. I think we can try it first.

With the rest of the search team, there may be news about them that we don’t know about.”

Song Shiyin nodded.

They finally decided to meet up with the rest of the team first, and then go outside Sand City to see what was going on.

Song Shiyin approached the children in a few steps, and she said gently: "We decided to go out and check the situation. I will lock the entrance to the cave and the outside door. You should stay here well during this period."

"It's very dangerous outside. You are all sensible children. You should understand what I am saying and protect your own safety."

The children all nodded, and the little sister raised her head. She looked at Song Shiyin opening and closing his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

Song Shiyin walked over and knelt down, touched her little sister's head, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, will you be like them and never come back after going out?" After saying this, the little sister couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.

Song Shiyin was stunned for a moment. She stretched out her fingers to gently wipe her little sister's tears, and then promised: "I will be back, believe me, okay?"

After that, the two of them came out of the cave together. Song Shiyin rearranged the water tank, took some things from the side, and placed them on and around the water tank as a cover.

She glanced at the Burning Man who was still sitting on the chair. The two pushed the door open and went out. There was currently no one outside, but they knew that the Burning Man was hiding in the dark.

The two walked through the long street for about a quarter of an hour. From a distance, they saw the monk, but he was not wearing the robes of the Lingyun Immortal Sect.

Still not seeing the rest of the team, the two discussed it and left marks on the wall along the way.

They hid all the way towards the city gate. During this period, they encountered Burning Man several times. They were almost discovered, but fortunately they were not in danger.

The city gate was indeed much taller and thicker than when they entered. There was still endless desert outside, and they did not see the Burning Man.

The two people discussed it again. According to the current clues, the people most involved in this matter were the Burning Man and the King. However, they could not communicate with the Burning Man, so they could only focus on the King.

They determined their next goal and went to the palace to meet the king to see if there were any clues that had been concealed.

There was no rush in this matter. Now that they had arrived at the city gate, they were bound to search to see if there were any new clues.

The two of them walked out of the city gate and walked around the city wall, but found nothing.

Song Shiyin sighed, it seemed that the only clue now was the king.

The two of them returned to the city and walked towards the palace. They were not familiar with the roads in Shacheng and could only walk through several streets based on the general direction.

When passing a corner, Song Shiyin's pupils suddenly shrank, it was the other members of the team!

She blurted out: "Tingyu! Yunxi!"

Those people turned their heads at the sound, and it was Bian Tingyu, Yuchi Muyi, Du Yunxi, and Wen Xu.

It is a happy event to reunite with teammates, especially in this secret realm full of unknowns.

"Shiyin, Brother Zhuo." Bian Tingyu came over, smiled and took Song Shiyin's hand...

"How are you guys? Are you okay?" The first thing to do was to confirm the safety of his teammates. People on both sides nodded, indicating that they were fine.

An empty street was not the place to reminisce about old times, so they found a nearby secret place, and several of them went there together to exchange news.

Originally, Bian Tingyu and Wen Xu were together, while Yuchi Muyi and Du Yunxi were together.

As soon as Bian Tingyu and Wen Xu entered the secret realm, they met the burning man head-on on the streets of the city. Without understanding the situation, they did not dare to take action rashly, so they hid in the house and watched quietly.

Change.

Du Yunxi and Yuchi Muyi were outside the city. They fought against the Burning Man, and then Song Shiyin learned a shocking news.

"People who are burned by fire will be resurrected after death." Du

Yun Xi said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Song Shiyin was shocked and turned her head anxiously to look at Zhuo Guang.

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Song Shiyin told them that they had put the burning man in the house and there were children in the cave.

Everyone stared with shock, and they immediately decided to go back as soon as possible, otherwise if they went too late, the whole group of children might be gone.

Song Shiyin found the previous house based on his memory. As soon as he entered, he saw that the burning man was gone, which shocked Song Shiyin.

Her heart was beating loudly, and while she tried her best to calm down, she quickly entered the cave.

There was no one in the cave, no children, and no bodies.

Song Shiyin bit her lip. She blamed herself a little and looked very ugly.

Du Yunxi and Bian Tingyu both came to comfort her: "It's okay, Shiyin. How can we confirm that they were really murdered without seeing their bodies with our own eyes? Maybe they just saw the danger here and then left."

There is nothing wrong with this idea, but Song Shiyin still can't completely relax.

The rest of the team simply changed the topic. Now was not the time to dwell on these matters. They exchanged all the information with each other again in the cave.

When Du Yunxi and the others appeared outside the city, they only saw the sand city in front of them. At that time, their first reaction was that they had not entered the secret realm. But when she saw Yuchi Muyi was the only one next to them, she knew they should come in anyway.

So the two people moved together and walked towards Shacheng. As they walked, a burning man appeared out of nowhere, which shocked them.

The Burning Man came with great force, and it was at this time that they discovered that there was no spiritual power in their bodies, and the fight was very difficult, but this was only for Du Yunxi. After all, Yuchi Muyi was a physical practitioner, and it was quite easy to deal with the Burning Man up close.

They didn't fight for long. Yuchi Muyi's force was so strong that he crushed him directly. As a result, the Burning Man began to chatter, and after a while, two or three more Burning Man came over.

Neither of them expected that Burning Man would summon his companions, and they were forced into a fighting state again.

Yuchi Muyi really deserves to be a physical practitioner. He punched to the flesh, and all three Burning Man were eliminated by Yuchi Muyi alone. He grabbed the Burning Man's head with both hands, and then twisted it gently, and the neck of the Burning Man broke.

, tilted his head and fell to the ground.

The crisis was over, and the two of them continued towards Shacheng.

Unexpectedly, they had not taken a few steps when another sound came from behind. When they heard the sound, they looked back and saw that the shadow of the Burning Man was no longer on the ground. Instead, there were three Burning Man attacking them again.

They were not sure whether the burning people were not killed at all, or whether these burning people could be resurrected.

The two of them cooperated with each other. Du Yunxi took out the long sword from the storage bag. She chopped off the head of the burning man with one sword. Blood sprayed all over her body, and she pursed her lips in disgust.

The two fought quickly and headed to Shacheng again.

Unexpectedly, just like before, the three burning men came behind them again. At that moment, Du Yunxi thought she had entered an illusion.

Only then did they confirm that people who were burned would really be resurrected.

Du Yunxi didn't know whether this kind of unkillable monster only existed in the desert or if it existed in sand cities, but she couldn't be confused at this time.

Sand City may be the only place where clues exist, and they have to go in.
