Chapter 22 The Fallen City

 The dark yellow mist is flowing elegantly, and the light blue spiritual power purifies and isolates all nearby filth. The city has turned into silence again, just like the original dead city.

And in this environment, Yun Xi and the strange girl completed their first meeting.

"Hello, my name is Yun Xi."

She said to the girl she met for the first time.

The girl looked at her quietly, with no surprise, no fear, no gratitude on her face... She was much calmer than Yun Xi imagined, and should be said to be calmer than Yun Xi.

She just looked at Yun Xi quietly, without saying or doing anything.

Yun Xi blinked and waved to the girl.

"Hello, my name is Yun Xi, what is your name?"

The girl still looked at her without any response.

If she hadn't blinked, Yun Xi would have even doubted whether she had saved a vegetative person.

‘Can’t you speak?’

Yun Xi felt slightly confused, but she was not too entangled.

The girl's face is paler than hers. Compared to her, this child transmits the most energy and blood.

Yun Xi helped the girl tidy up her hair on her forehead and said, "Don't worry, you're fine now."

Regarding Yun Xi's words, the girl always remained silent. She lay very quietly in Yun Xi's arms, just looking at Yun Xi, blinking when her eyes were dry, and continuing to look after blinking.

Yimeng also noticed something strange about her and took the initiative to use his mental power to check.

"It's strange, her spirit is fine, but why doesn't she speak?"

Yimeng's voice appeared in Yun Xi's ear, and it said: "Except for the severe loss of Qi and blood, she has no other problems now, and her spirit is also very good. She doesn't speak, maybe it has something to do with her character or identity.

Know about it."

"Cognition? How to say?"

Yun Xi asked.

Yimeng said: "People from Tianling and Tianmo Continent often attack the orcs in our Tianbeast Continent, steal orc children and train them since childhood. Such children are usually raised to a certain age and then sold to those with special quirks.

Human beings. In order to prevent accidents during the training process, humans often specially domesticate these children and turn them into obedient tools."

"For such children, they have almost no ability to communicate independently. They will only obey other people's orders."

When Yun Xi heard this, she looked surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that this was not strange. Creatures like beast-eared girls... were indeed lovable.

Even she often wonders what Yi Meng will look like after she takes shape.

Yimeng snorted: "There are a lot of things in this world that you don't know. Although the orcs are weak, they do generally have beauty that is difficult for ordinary people to have. It is not uncommon for them to cause disasters. They can only blame themselves.

I chose this path."

The orcs were born from the evolution of the ancient demons. In order to better survive through cultivation, those demons chose to abandon their beast bodies and follow the path of humans.

From then on, there was a clan of orcs.

However, for the monsters in the Sky Beast Continent, the choice of the beastmen is equivalent to betraying the destiny of the monsters. In their eyes, they are traitors and sinners of the monsters.

Therefore, if we want to talk about who is the worst race in the mixed spirit world, it is the orcs.

They are not like monsters, who are rejected and looked down upon by the monster clan, but they are not human either, and the human race is not willing to accept them.

They can only live in one part of the Sky Beast Continent.

After so many years, time has proved to the world that the choice of the orcs is wrong. They have been born for millions of years, but they have never experienced a strong man in the spirit-killing realm, and even a strong man in the spirit-lucking realm can only be counted on one finger.

Number.

If they make a wrong choice, they must bear the consequences of their mistake.

The people of Tianling and Tianmo Continent like the children of the orcs very much, and they often steal the children of the orcs, train them, and sell them. There is even a whole black industry chain under this.

It can be said that the demon clan is basically sitting idly by and ignoring this. For them, it would be better if the orc clan is destroyed as early as possible, so as not to lose the face of the demon clan.

In fact, if it weren't for the strong opposition of the kind-hearted Earth Niu and Qingying, the two major Sky Beast races, the Beastmen would have been expelled from the Sky Beast Continent long ago.

But even so, the orcs are still the most humble and humble race in the entire mixed spirit world.

When Yun Xi was in Hunyuan State, she had learned a lot about the structure of the Heavenly Beast Continent, and knew that pure-blood monsters like Yimeng were extremely repulsive to the beastmen.

She did not dwell on the topic of orc encounters, but instead took the initiative to focus on the little girl in front of her.

"Then you mean that this little girl is also a tool specially trained by Feng Ming and the others, without any sense of autonomy?"

Yimeng nodded: "That's right. Didn't Feng Ming say that this child was born to provide life energy and blood to the blood tree? Do you still expect them to cultivate such a tool well?"

When Yun Xi heard this, she fell silent.

She lowered her head, looked at the girl's pale face and bright red eyes, and reached out to gently touch her face.

Her face was a little cold and she looked not in good health.

Yun Xi smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, I always meet some poor people."

"It's you who always go to those poor people."

Yimeng retorted unceremoniously.

Yun Xi curled her lips and asked, "Is there any way to help her regain her normal cognition?"

"Of course."

"What is it?"

"Time."

Yunxi raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes: "It's as if you didn't say it."

She understands that the meaning of a dream is nothing more than spending time to help this child gain a new understanding of the world. Of course she knows this.

Yimeng also rolled his eyes and flicked his slender tail: "What? You still want to make her become a normal person directly? Don't talk about me, even the leader of your Tianling Alliance can't do it."
How can human nature change so easily?

Yun Xi was too lazy to pay attention to it. She lowered her head and continued to look at the little girl. After thinking for a while, she said in a questioning tone: "Tell me your name!"

The girl's pupils moved slightly, then she opened her mouth and made a childish and hoarse voice: "Four...four thousand three hundred and fifteen, blood...blood boy."

The world suddenly became quiet.

A dream in Yun Xi's sea of ​​consciousness also suddenly paused. It turned its big purple eyes: "How...what number? What number did she say she had?"

Yun Xi's eyes gradually became colder. She looked at the girl and asked, "How many people are there like you?"

The girl looked at her doubtfully, not understanding what she was asking.

Yun Xi took a deep breath, turned her head, and tried to look away: "Yimeng, do you know what this number and the term 'blood boy' mean?"

Yi Meng didn't answer, it knew, and it also understood that Yun Xi also knew.

"Hoo~"

Yun Xi let out a long breath, and the light blue spiritual power rippled slightly, as beautiful as the sea.

"I'm really regretful that I couldn't kill Feng Ming directly with one sword."

Yimeng said with relief: "It's not too late. If they make such a big noise, they will definitely appear again in the future."

After taking a while to calm down, Yun Xi gently stroked the girl's head, thinking about what to do with the child in the future.

……

The time waiting for rescue seemed very long, but fortunately with Yi Meng and this little girl accompanying her, Yun Xi was not that bored.

She looked far away, counting the time while feeling the thickness of the surrounding fog.

The blood tree looming in the mist gradually became brighter and seemed to be redder than before.

Yun Xi looked at the tree and was slightly startled.

Brighter? Redder?

As soon as her spiritual consciousness dispersed, she immediately discovered the problem and said in surprise: "What's going on? Why is the fog not as dense as before?"

Only a few minutes have passed. Instead of becoming thicker, the mist has become thinner. On the contrary, the giant tree in the distance is even more red.

"Is there something wrong?"

Yun Xi's expression became solemn, the fog became thinner, and the giant trees changed, all of these seemed to highlight one thing.

That means the blood supply of the blood tree has not been cut off.

"The qi and blood are not cut off? Why, I have already rescued this child, how can the blood tree still get the qi and blood of living beings?"

As soon as this doubt arose in Yun Xi's mind, a picture appeared in front of her eyes.

She cut off Feng Ming's arm with a sword.

‘Is that the broken arm?’

Yun Xi immediately realized the problem. She hugged the girl and turned her eyes to the city gate.

The blood tree has a constant supply of energy and blood, and the fog gradually recedes. This is a good thing for her, because the vines on the city gate may fall down, and she can get out safely.

"I've been carrying my luck for so long today, so I have to get lucky once."

At this thought, Yun Xi stood up from the ground, with flames billowing behind him, and a pair of exquisite phoenix feathers stretched out from the flames.

Yun Xi stepped a little, Feng Yu fluttered, and hurried towards the city gate.

Because she still had to maintain Luo Shen's mental technique, Yun Xi's speed dropped slightly at this time, but even so, she saw the outline of the deserted city gate after a few minutes.

Just as she expected, the vines on the city gate had disappeared at this time, the flowers on the other side of the Red River also began to close their petals, and the mist between heaven and earth gradually thinned.

Yun Xi was not the only one to notice this. When she arrived at the city gate, the city gate had already begun to open.

Someone pushed open the city gate outside.

"Team Su, Team Zhang!"

Through the formation barrier, Yun Xi saw Su Zijian and Zhang Jiuzhi.

The two of them had spiritual energy flowing all over their bodies and were trying their best to resist the rejection of the formation. When they saw Yun Xi, their faces were also happy.

Yun Xi hugged the girl, flashed, and rushed out of the city gate.

This time, nothing could stop Yun Xi, and she successfully left the deserted city.

Once out of the deserted city, the suffocating air of death did not dissipate immediately, but it also faded a lot. Only when you enter the deserted city will you understand that compared with the city, the desolation outside the city is simply nothing.

.

"Yun Xi, you have figured it out, are you okay?"

Zhang Jiuzhi and Su Zi were relieved to see Yun Xi return safely.

Yun Xi shook her head, feeling a little touched that the two seniors had not abandoned her at this time, and said: "I'm fine, let's go first."

"Hmm."

At this time, as long as Yun Xi comes out safely, as for the rest, there is no rush to talk about it later.

However, the two of them still paid a little attention to the girl in Yun Xi's arms.

She stayed in the city just to save this child?

While the two were a little surprised, they were even more curious about the identity of this child. How could ordinary people get out of that city safely?

Moreover, the mist reappeared and condensed again. There were too many abnormalities in this.

Outside the deserted land, Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao were relieved to see Yun Xi come out safely. Ying Nianling wanted to run over, but was stopped by the two.

There is still some fog left there. Yun Xi and the two captains can rely on their own abilities to resist the erosion of the fog, but they cannot.

Yun Xi hugged the girl and walked out of the deserted land.

Rumble——

There was a sudden loud noise, and the ground suddenly began to shake.

"What's going on?"

Everyone quickly turned around and looked at the deserted city.

I saw that this ancient building that had stood in Tianling Continent for tens of millions of years actually started to tremble at this moment.

Rumble——

As the roar gradually increased, cracks slowly appeared on the thick black and white city walls of the deserted city. The cracks expanded, creating small cracks that spread to the surrounding areas.

The cracks spread extremely quickly, covering the entire city wall in an instant.

Then, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes.

Boom——

The deserted city collapsed.

The collapse of such a tall and thick city wall should have been a shocking event, and the commotion caused should have been earth-shattering.

But at this moment, only more than a hundred people from Lingying Hall saw this scene.

This city, which had left an extremely important mark in the history of Tianling Continent, fell when no one expected it.

The city wall collapsed, not shaking the earth or the earth, but it sent up smoke and dust all over the sky.

What fell on the ground was not pieces of gravel, but countless tiny particles of dust.

Yun Xi watched the city collapse like a pile of sand and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Perhaps, this dead city should have died like this long ago, but the giant tree and formation in the city have been extending its life.

The city wall collapsed, smoke filled the sky, and the last trace of mist remaining in the air gradually dispersed. Through the dust, Yun Xi and others could see the scene in the center of the city.

Many people who have never entered the deserted city opened their mouths slightly, thinking that this is what the deserted city looks like, and it is indeed deserted.

But even so, the blood-red towering tree still stands out in the world.

The mangroves on the hills began to dry up and fell to the ground like dust, the flowers on both sides of the Red River also lost their vitality, and the last colors of the deserted city began to fade.

Yun Xi looked into the distance, looking at the big tree that covered the sky and the sun. The bloody tree was also fading, and its red leaves and flowers began to turn pale. Yun Xi knew that it had absorbed enough energy and blood.<

/p>

This bloody tree is going to die, and the entire deserted city will be buried with it.

The spiritual power around Yun Xi's body was as light as flowing water. She didn't expect that Feng Ming and the others would finally achieve their goal, and the Holy Spirit Fruit would finally condense.

She watched the city in the distance rapidly withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye. There seemed to be a red light still shining among the pale flowers and leaves.

Maple!!!

A wave of air spread out in all directions with the blood tree as the center, instantly covering a hundred miles of the deserted city.

The air waves gently hit the bodies of Yun Xi and others. They didn't even have a chance to react, so they fell heavily and fell into a coma.
