This is Yun Xi's first feeling after stepping into the deserted land.
Even if she didn't enter that city, just walking into this gray world, the atmosphere around her would make her feel suffocated.
It is not the smell of death, but the smell of watching one's life go by but being powerless, almost desperate.
Just this feeling made Yun Xi understand why Desolate City was known as the Dead City.
Her spiritual power circulates to protect her body.
Su Zijian said that the fog has dispersed, so what would the surrounding air and atmosphere be like when there was the fog before?
Yun Xi frowned and began to act cautiously.
Gradually approaching from the outside to the inside, the deserted city gradually appeared in front of her.
This city, which looks like a pencil drawing, is taller than the main city of Tianling County, but what you see in front of you is not a majestic and majestic feeling, but a sense of death and silence where everything turns to ashes.
Even a dream is hidden in the purple seal, unwilling to come out again.
"Be careful."
Yun Xi said to the three companions without looking back.
The Qingheng Mountains can span three counties, and its large area can be imagined.
The deserted city is located in the Qingheng Mountains, and its area is not small. Dozens of spiritual beings explored it separately, and soon it turned into small dots, surrounding the outside of the city.
Yun Xi walked towards the city gate. If there was a problem in the deserted city, was it a person or an object that caused the problem?
If it was a person, how did that or those people get in?
In addition to the desolate fog, the Desolate City also has special restrictions. This restriction will prevent cultivators below the Luck Spirit Realm from forcing their way into the city from the air.
In other words, if a cultivator under the Luck Spirit Realm wants to enter the deserted city, the only way is to go through the city gate.
With this idea in mind, Yun Xi came to the gate of Desolate City.
Apart from being a dead gray color, the gates of the deserted city are actually no different from ordinary city gates, and they are also so tall.
Yun Xi looked up and saw the paintings carved on the city gate. They were two identical flowers, but different colors.
One black and one white.
"This is a unique spiritual plant in the deserted city. It is divided into yin and yang. It is said that ordinary people eating it can heal human flesh and white bones, and spiritual cultivators eating it can improve their cultivation for a hundred years."
Su Zijian and Zhang Jiuzhi walked behind Yun Xi at some point and explained to her.
Zhang Jiuzhi said: "The world firmly believes this, but in fact we all know that this is just a false rumor. This flower is called the other side, and the desolate fog in the deserted city is produced by it. This is a symbol of death.
The flower of the underworld."
Yun Xi was suddenly stunned, thinking that there are actually flowers from the other side of the world in this world.
Then she was stunned and realized why Yuan Huan came to Desolate City.
She walked forward, approached the city gate, carefully observed the city gate, and then stretched out her hand to push it.
"What are you doing?!"
When Zhang Jiuzhi and Su Zi saw her doing this, they immediately stopped her.
The fog outside the deserted city has dispersed, but who knows the situation inside the city?
Even they don't dare to touch the city gate easily. Yun Xi is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Yun Xi was slightly startled by their reaction, and then asked: "Why don't you go into the city and have a look?"
Su Zijian said: "After checking the outside of the city first, even if you want to enter the city, you should not go in."
Everyone knows the dangers of Desolate City. Su Zijian and Zhang Jiuzhi will definitely not let Yun Xi enter the city. The superiors have asked them to come and investigate.
Since it is an investigation, the city cannot be spared, but they will go in personally later.
Yun Xi said nothing and continued to observe the surroundings, but deep down she was thinking about how to get them to agree to enter the city.
The deserted city is so huge that even if dozens of spiritual beings dispersed together to check their spiritual consciousness, it still took a long time.
In the afternoon, when the spring sun sets to the west, everyone gathers at the gate of the deserted city.
"How?"
Zhang Jiuzhi asked everyone, and everyone shook their heads.
The fog comes from the flower of the other side. The flower of the other side only grows in the deserted city. The disappearance of the fog is mostly related to the city. It would be too naive for them to want to find the problem outside the city.
Zhang Jiuzhi was not surprised by this and said: "You all should step back."
"Yes."
Everyone knows that he is preparing to open the gate of Deserted City.
Everyone retreated into the distance, leaving only Zhang Jiuzhi and Su Zijian in place.
The two looked at each other, came to the city gate, wrapped themselves in spiritual power, and pushed open the city gate.
Maple!
As soon as the city gate opened a gap, a powerful force suddenly blasted out from inside the city wall.
Boom!
The two people who were always vigilant reacted very quickly. At the moment when the power emerged, they used all their spiritual power and punched out!
Rumble——
Bright light bloomed in the dark world, and Zhang Jiuzhi and Su Zijian were both shaken back.
"Team Zhang! Team Su!"
When the members of the Lingying Hall behind saw this, they quickly rushed over and found that blood was pouring from the corners of their mouths, and they were seriously injured.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was shocked.
Although the deserted city was dangerous in the past, it never took the initiative to attack those who tried to enter the city.
Su Zijian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the city gate with a solemn expression. At this time, the city gate had been closed again, the door cracks were tightly closed, and it seemed that nothing had happened.
"A formation was arranged on the city gate, and someone entered the deserted city."
The disappearance of the desolate mist and the strange formations on the city gates all indicate that someone has entered the desolate city and has a big conspiracy.
"Do you want to report?"
Someone asked.
Zhang Jiuzhi said: "Wait a minute, Meng Hai, come and see what this formation is."
Although the Lingying Hall has only been established for a short time, it still has various capable people. Meng Hai is a formation master in the Lingying Hall. His strength is comparable to that of the middle stage of the Spirit Tribulation Realm. He has many talents in the entire Tianling Alliance.
Fame and status.
A slightly thin man walked out of the crowd, came to the city gate, and put his hand on the city gate.
The eyes of the others were alert, and their spiritual power was flowing on their bodies. Once an accident happened, they would decisively take action to protect Meng Hai.
Meng Hai closed his eyes, and a spiritual seal appeared in his palm, covering the city gate and slowly revealing it through the gap between the city gates.
A few minutes later, Meng Hai suddenly grunted, quickly let go and stepped back, his face turning red.
"Are you okay?"
Zhang Jiuzhi and others quickly expressed concern.
Meng Hai waved his hand, looked at the city gate and said: "A new ban has been placed on the city gate. Once someone tries to open the city gate and enter the city, they will be counterattacked. And this ban seems to be specifically targeted at us."<
/p>
Su Zi frowned: "What do you mean?"
Meng Hai explained: "The restrictions on this city gate are only effective for those in the psychic realm and above."
Everyone fell into silence immediately.
There are 93,000 people in the ten halls of the Tianling Alliance, and no one is in a realm below the level of psychics.
Zhang Jiuzhi said: "So, the people entering the city have long expected us to come, and this formation is used to prevent us from entering?"
Meng Hai nodded: "That should be the case. Do you want to inform Mr. Hua Ting? This matter looks very strange. Even my master cannot do anything to tamper with the gate of the deserted city."
Meng Hai's master is a master of formations, his strength is comparable to that of Yun Ling, and he is also a governor.
"I will inform you now that since we can't enter this deserted city, we will stay outside the city gate. Since this city will resist those who practice psychics and above, the strength of those who enter the city must also be under psychics.
When he comes out, we can deal with it ourselves."
As Zhang Jiuzhi said this, he took out the Heavenly Spirit Order and started to notify Wei Huating.
At this moment, someone weakly raised his hand.
"What, my realm hasn't reached the psychic realm yet, I can enter."
Everyone was attracted by the sound, turned to look at the speaker, and then looked shocked.
Who else could say this besides Yun Xi?
Su Zi frowned: "Yun Xi, the deserted city is extremely dangerous, you can't go in."
Yun Xi said neither humble nor overbearing: "Captain Su, as you just said, this matter is very strange, and the other party's strength should be under the psychic level. If the other party can get in, I may not be able to."
Su Zi saw it and said: "That's just a guess. No one knows what danger is hidden inside. There is no need for you to take this risk. Just wait for the news from Lord Hua Ting."
"But..."
"This is an order!"
Yun Xi's words were cut off, and she could only step back helplessly.
Su Zijian and Zhang Jiuzhi would not agree to her proposal, and neither would anyone else.
Yun Xi has just joined Lingying Hall, and there is no way they would let her do such a dangerous thing.
As for Yun Xi herself, it was impossible for her to force her way into the deserted city after being rejected. Just looking at the city gate, Yun Xi always felt that something was wrong with the situation.
How could there be so many changes in random missions in the past?
Her intuition told her that she must enter the deserted city.
But Zhang Jiuzhi and Su Zi refused to let them see each other, which made her a little anxious.
While waiting anxiously, Zhang Jiuzhi received an order from Wei Huating.
【Send someone in】
Just four words, the meaning is very obvious.
When Zhang Jiuzhi reported the news, he emphasized the restrictions on the city gate, but Wei Huating still asked them to send people in.
Who is that party?
It goes without saying.
Su Zijian came over and saw the message Zhang Jiuzhi received, and his face changed slightly.
The two exchanged glances, knowing that there was nothing they could do about it.
Finally, Zhang Jiuzhi said to Yun Xi: "Yun Xi."
"In."
"Can you keep yourself safe?"
As soon as he said this, everyone understood what he meant.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, and some couldn't help but say: "Captain Zhang, Yun Xi has just joined our Lingying Hall. This task is too dangerous and not suitable for her!"
Zhang Jiuzhi glanced at him and said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "If she doesn't suit her, how can it be that she is suitable for you? Can you get in?"
The man was immediately speechless.
Indeed, except for Yun Xi and the others, no one else present could enter the city at all.
As soon as Yun Xi heard this question, she knew something was going on. She said seriously: "I'll be fine!"
Ying Nianling still held a rainbow lollipop in her hand and said softly: "I want to go in with Yun Xi."
Li Zixiao took a step forward: "I'll go too."
Xia Qingyao held the scabbard: "And me."
Yun Xi is going to enter Desolate City, and the three of them cannot stand by and watch.
Zhang Jiuzhi wanted to stop him, but he thought it would be safer if there were more people, so he couldn't refuse.
He took a deep breath, took out four waistbands from his storage ring, handed them to the four people, and warned: "Be careful. If an unexpected situation occurs, escape immediately! This waistband was forged by me myself.
I can protect you at this critical moment."
Yun Xi took the belt: "We will."
Without further words, the four of them walked to the city gate and opened the towering door under the gaze of everyone.
Rumble——
The gate opened with a thunderous roar. The power did not come as before. The restrictions on the city gate would indeed not resist Yun Xi and the others.
Yun Xi turned her head and glanced at her three companions before taking the lead and stepping into that world.
The three men followed closely behind, and as the four figures disappeared, the gate of the deserted city was tightly closed again.
Outside the city, everyone in Lingying Hall stared intently at the city gate, their eyes full of worry.
……
……
"Is this the deserted city?"
After crossing the city gate and walking into the city, what Yun Xi saw was not buildings, but a wide river running straight forward.
The river water is blood red.
Yes, the outside of the deserted city is gray and white, but the inside of the city is not like that.
The broad river moved forward all the way, and at the end was a towering tree. The tree was bigger than any other tree Yun Xi had ever seen. It was so big that she could clearly see the tree even from dozens of miles away.
Shape!
On both sides of the river, there are some beautiful flowers blooming. These flowers are as big as a baby's head, black and white, with matching petals and tightly wrapped together.
"These should be the flowers of the other side. Captain Zhang said that the mist is produced by the flowers of the other side. Now that these flowers are all closed, no wonder the mist will disappear."
Yun Xi told her analysis to her friends, even though they would not respond to her words.
Looking beyond the flowers on the other side, what Yun Xi saw were raised hills. On each hill stood a medium-sized tree. The shape of the tree was somewhat similar to the towering tree at the end of the river.
But the size is much smaller.
From their trunks to their leaves, these trees are all a hideous blood-red color.
It seems that compared with the outside of the city, there is just a touch of red inside the city.
Yun Xi looked around, and there seemed to be nothing else except the red river, flowers, mounds, and mangroves.
This city has stood alone in the Qingheng Mountains for thousands of years, and has long lost its appearance as a city.
If it weren't for the formation restrictions on the city wall that remained far away, I'm afraid the deserted city would have been a desolate ruin.
But there is nothing wrong with this. Yun Xi looked far away, looking at the towering tree.
At the very least, she doesn't have to think about her destination.
The spiritual light circulated, and Yun Xi and the four of them floated into the air and flew directly towards the tree.
But just as they stood up, slight noises suddenly came from the two mounds closest to them.
The four people's eyes narrowed and they looked over there. Then they saw the mangroves on the mound swaying gently, and the ground gradually cracked, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Yun Xi instantly realized the problem and quickly whispered: "Get down quickly."
After saying that, he took the lead back to the ground, and Li Zixiao and the other three also landed quickly.
The mangroves on the mound trembled slightly and gradually stopped.
Yun Xi was still frightened. She didn't know what the mangrove was, but if they continued to try to fly down, they might be in danger.
"It seems we can only use walking."
She whispered.
The four of them headed into the distance along the Red River.
