Chapter 562: The wind blows the fireflies but they dont turn into ashes
Ten days later.
On the sea of sky fire, Xu Qing's figure rushed out of the magma. The firelight from the sky reflected on his body, making Xu Qing's whole body shine with light.
Especially his eyes are even more dazzling.
The cultivation level of his whole body is much higher than before. Except for Jinwu and Ziyue, all the thirteen Nascent Souls have also improved greatly. Although they have not reached the perfection of one kalpa, they are not very far away.
"That mass of destiny is extremely valuable."
There was a profound light in Xu Qing's eyes. If the Destiny Group gave him a few more, he would be sure that all the Nascent Souls would reach perfection.
"It is indeed the destiny of the Lingzang monk. Even if he is in the stage of cultivation and enlightenment, the depth of his destiny is not comparable to that of Yuanying."
Xu Qing murmured in his heart, his eyes were bright, and the wounds in his soul were finally fully recovered in these ten days of training.
In addition, he clearly felt that his restored soul was more refined than before.
"Then... after I go back and deliver the eyeballs, I'll leave here!"
Xu Qing lowered his head and glanced at the Sky Fire Sea below. There must be many secrets in this sea area.
For example, whether there are other sealed places under the sea, or the source of the flames flowing from the cracks in the sky deep in the sea of fire, he has not been there yet.
"I won't go now. It's been more than half a year. I have to go and meet my senior brother as soon as possible."
Xu Qing lowered his head and glanced at his wrist. There was a ring-shaped mark there, which was made by Ling'er.
This was the agreement Xu Qing made with Linger when he left the human city in the mine.
In view of the danger of the place where Xu Qing practiced, Ling'er chose to turn into a mark and sleep, which was safer.
Now that the danger was over, Xu Qing had a smile on his face as he thought of returning to the mine city, and tapped the mark gently.
"Ling'er, wake up."
"Let's go back to the mine."
The mark flashed for a few times, and Ling'er emerged from it with sleepy eyes. After hearing Xu Qing's words clearly, her eyes lit up and she woke up instantly.
"Are you going back? That's great. Brother Xu Qing, should we stay here for a while longer this time?"
Xu Qing thought for a while, saw the expectation in Ling'er's expression, and nodded.
"Then let's stay for half a month."
Ling'er was immediately happy, and happily climbed onto Xu Qing's ear, shaking it back and forth, and laughed.
Hearing the laughter, Xu Qing felt relaxed.
The tension he felt at the bottom of the sea was gradually calmed down, but Xu Qing was very cautious. He knew the status of the human race here and knew that the mine could not be exposed.
So at this moment during the flight, he paid special attention to this point.
After confirming that there were no traces, Xu Qing flew straight to the mine after leaving the Sea of Sky Fire.
On the way, he stopped once and looked at the ground, where a small red flower grew in the crevice of the rocks.
This little flower grows alone, swaying in the wind containing heat waves.
This was the first time Xu Qing saw vegetation in this area.
For this area, it is difficult for vegetation to exist in this special climate. Only some special types of grass and trees will choose to bloom after the sky fire.
This little flower is one of them.
It is not an ordinary herb, but a precious herb.
It is introduced in Master Bai's pharmacopoeia and is called Fire Spirit Flower. It only grows in hot places.
Looking at the Fire Spirit Flower, Xu Qing was surprised, picked it up and put it in a small transparent bottle.
"Panyan asked about this flower before." Xu Qing smiled, put it away, and moved on.
After three days of hiding all the way, Xu Qing finally saw the mine from a distance.
Thinking of Duanmu Zang and the disciple he had accepted, Xu Qing felt emotional in his heart.
"It's a pity that I currently have no way to resolve the curse, but give me some time and I can try more."
Xu Qing murmured in his heart and walked away, but when he was a thousand feet away from the abandoned mine, Xu Qing's footsteps suddenly stopped, his pupils shrank, and he looked thousands of feet away.
There was something different there than when he left.
Originally, a large amount of gravel was piled up at the entrance of the mine, and it melted under the sky fire and became one as if watered. There were only some gaps for entry and exit.
But at this moment, the entrance to the mine collapsed and fell apart.
This scene shocked Xu Qing's heart, and Ling'er also saw all this from a distance, her swaying body stopped, and her voice trembled.
"Brother Xu Qing..."
Xu Qing's eyes showed vigilance, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed straight there. He only used three breaths to reach the range of a thousand feet in an instant.
The moment he approached the entrance of the mine, a strong smell of blood wafted out from the mine, fell into his nose, and fell into Ling'er's perception.
Ling'er trembled.
Xu Qing's breathing was rapid, his body's cultivation was running, he rushed forward and stepped into the mine.
The smell of blood here is even stronger.
Xu Qing's heart was filled with waves. After galloping for dozens of breaths, he paused and saw seven or eight corpses on the ground in front of him.
Xu Qing was silent, walked over step by step, and looked at the corpse.
He knows it.
These corpses are human beings in the city, and they are all guards with some level of cultivation.
Xu Qing closed his eyes, and when he opened them there was a cold light in his eyes. He rushed forward again. Along the way, he saw more and more corpses, until he reached the end and saw a huge hole in the wall.
Inside the cave, the original first level of tombs is now in a mess, full of traces of fighting.
And in the center of this layer, it collapsed.
A silent city was revealed further below.
The blue curtain of the sky has been torn into pieces, ruthlessly torn into countless pieces, scattered throughout the city.
The same is true for Baiyun.
In the city, hundreds of corpses were scattered, including men, women, and children.
The death conditions were very miserable. Some had their bodies cut off, some had half of their bodies reduced to flesh, and some were torn apart. It was obvious that they had collapsed due to being too fragile under violent arrest.
What was once laughter and laughter has now become dead silence.
The warmth and friendship in my memory have now turned into coldness.
The grave has indeed become a grave.
Most of the houses collapsed, the blood could not be dissipated, and the rotten smell spread in all directions.
Ling'er instantly flew out and headed straight for the city. The fish bones where the ancestors of the King Kong Sect were were also trembling and galloped away. After they rushed into the city, they all stopped there.
The next moment, cries came from Ling'er's mouth, the body of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect transformed, and his eyes were red.
Xu Qing approached silently, looking at the familiar city and everything familiar, his heart hurt, and there seemed to be a shocking roar echoing in his mind.
Xu Qing has seen death, a lot.
But he couldn't get used to all this, nor could he get used to this scene.
The two months he lived here emerged in his mind, and the scenes turned into a source of severe pain in his memory.
"Brother Xu Qing, they... they..." Ling'er flew over, crying with extreme sadness. Among the corpses, she saw her familiar sister and aunt.
She couldn't accept that the person who taught her how to cook with a smile just a few months ago was now a broken corpse.
The ancestor of the King Kong Sect also returned to Xu Qing in an instant. He looked at Xu Qing with anger and pleading in his eyes. He also saw his audience among the corpses.
Xu Qing's face was expressionless, with endless coldness rising from his body. Without saying a word, he carefully observed his surroundings to determine the time and details of his death.
"More than 100,000 people, the total number of corpses is less than 1,000."
"This shows that most people should still be alive."
"The arrester has to transport so many mortals, so the speed cannot be too fast."
"According to the degree of decay, the time of death should have been five days ago..."
"With Duanmu Zang's cultivation level and the layout of this place, if we can find and blast it away, and escort so many people, it must be an alliance between the two races here."
"The arrival of the Red Moon Temple... Duanmu Zang once said that the temple needs sacrifices from all races every once in a while..."
Xu Qing turned around, raised his right hand and with a wave, Ling'er and the King Kong Sect ancestor were instantly put away by him and rushed out towards the outside world.
"Brother Xu Qing, we..." Ling'er was confused, filled with sadness and anxiety.
"Let's go find them." Xu Qing said softly, the chill in his eyes now reaching its peak.
He rushed out of the mine as fast as he could and stared at the outside world, looking for traces.
But five days have passed, and under the high temperature here, all traces are very slim. The only possible effective direction is the holy city of the two tribes.
But it is far away from the Holy City, and the road is not the same. It is also unknown whether the two races will send the humans to the Holy City.
In addition, if Xu Qing makes a mistake in judgment and it is not the fault of the two tribes, the best time for rescue will be lost.
Just as Xu Qing was pondering, Ling'er wiped away her tears and spoke with determination in her eyes.
"Brother Xu Qing, I'm looking for traces. This is the tomb of the Ancient Spirit Clan. They have lived here for many years, and they are all stained with the atmosphere of the Ancient Spirit Clan. I can find it!"
As he said that, Ling'er's body swayed and flew straight into the air. His whole body suddenly emitted a colorful light. After surrounding his whole body, his body gradually changed. After turning into a human form, he continued to change. Soon, a tall figure appeared in front of Xu Qing.
In eyes.
The figure's whole body was blurred and the details could not be clearly seen, but it was surrounded by the shadows of dragons and snakes and was roaring.
"south!"
Ling'er's voice is ethereal and echoes in all directions.
Xu Qing didn't hesitate and headed south with Ling'er.
At this moment, thousands of miles south of where Xu Qing was, there was a long motorcade moving forward at a low altitude.
There are ten huge iron cages in this convoy, each one is like a hill, pulled by a giant beast.
Inside the iron cage, countless human beings were piled up as densely as cargo. Those below were dead and crushed into flesh, but most of them were still alive.
It's just that the living people are lifeless, filled with numbness, life is worse than death, and humans are worse than animals.
The person escorting this convoy was none other than the cultivators of the alliance between the two races.
In order to ensure that most of these mortals can stay alive, they cannot move quickly and can only rely on this method to escort them.
As for teleportation, it is impossible for the two races to spend too much money just to save this little time.
At this moment, the two monks who were being escorted were sitting on the carriage with indifferent expressions and occasionally talking to each other.
"We are almost reaching the Holy City, only seven days to go."
"This errand is a hard job, but the number of these humans is a bit unexpected, there are so many."
"It's a good thing to have more. Then our sacrifices, plus those foreigners obtained from other places, will be enough."
During the conversation, there were several Tianmian tribesmen who simply grabbed a few dead human corpses and put them in their mouths to chew directly.
The sound of flesh, flesh and bones being bitten and broken, full of ferocity, echoed in all directions in this dark world.
