At this moment, Ren Qing was still in seclusion, saving his lifespan to be promoted to Fengsha Dharma, and was not aware of the changes coming from Shuize at all.
Not long after Li Tiangang left Sanxiang City, he put away the mortise feather in his hand.
He thought of the giant bird he met not long ago, and was really curious about why Ren Qing could achieve alienation without any scruples.
But in the end, I still didn’t lower my face and asked.
After Li Tiangang left Heshan Town and continued northward, the wind gradually began to carry sand and gravel, and the vegetation became sparse.
The erosion of Xiangxiang by water swamps is becoming more and more serious, and it cannot be stopped by human power.
What puzzled him was that although there were two places in Xiangxiang adjacent to the swamp, only the north of Heshan Town was experiencing abnormalities.
On the other side, although Master Dameng personally deployed the spell, it never turned into a desert.
Li Tiangang suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to pace faster.
Half a day later, a prototype border fortress made of mountain rocks appeared in the distance, and a large number of guards moved materials around the city wall.
The watchtower is erected along a straight line, and at the end is the desert water with distinct layers.
Even though there are some sparse vegetation in Xiangxiang, it is considered desolate at best.
But only half a step away, the water on the other side showed a sky full of sand and dust, and the strong wind filled the air with sand and gravel.
Some of the gravel passed through the gap and blew into the boundaries of Xiangxiang.
In order to prevent accidents from happening, the Jailer's Hall attached great importance to the border of Xiangxiang, and even stationed one-third of its manpower.
As soon as Li Tiangang approached, Jiang Feng noticed it with his eyes on the roadside and hurried over to prepare to report the situation.
The two found a higher hillside and started talking while looking in the direction of the water.
The situation seems to be like boiling a frog in warm water. The jailer's hall can't find a breakthrough, and no trouble will happen in Xiangxiang in a short period of time.
Li Tiangang asked: "Have you used all the methods I asked you to try? Can you stop the spread of the water?"
"It's all used, whether it's rain, digging deep trenches, or even the cold."
Jiang Feng's tone was full of fear, and Shuize felt like a living monster that was constantly trying to get closer to Xiangxiang.
Li Tiangang was silent, and after a moment he said: "I met Ren Qing a few days ago. After he finishes his retreat and is transferred here, I will go to Shuize myself."
Jiang Feng said with a smile on his face: "Well, it's true that I haven't seen him for a long time."
Li Tiangang suddenly frowned.
He found two people on the edge of Xiangxiang. They seemed to be using magic to turn into plants, trying to prevent desertification by taking root in the soil.
"Jiang Feng, did you let them pass?"
"kindness……"
"Don't let the guards touch the sand in the water. No one knows what's hidden in it."
Li Tiangang gave him a warning look, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the border fortress.
Jiang Feng quickly used magic to contact the guards outside and asked them to rush back as soon as possible.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news. They looked at Mizuze with some fear, put away their spells and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the other woman was stunned, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but pat her shoulder.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ying?"
"It's okay, but I'm a little dizzy."
Lu Xiaoyu's technique is to directly spawn vines, which can be discarded when retracting them.
But Xiao Ying's technique is more like turning blood vessels into plant branches, with some gravel sticking to them and then being absorbed into the body.
Xiao Ying swung her arms. Just now, something in the wind and sand seemed to have penetrated into her blood, but it seemed like an illusion.
The two of them immediately returned to the newly built frontier fortress camp to rest.
Originally, Lu Xiaoyu had been stationed in Heshan Town, but because of the mission issued by the Jailer Hall, he came to the border.
The task only requires her to use magic to prevent the desertification of the border. Regardless of whether she succeeds or not, she will receive a large sum of blood crystals.
Lu Xiaoyu completed the task inexplicably, and naturally showed uncontrollable joy on his face, preparing to go to the ghost market to buy some resources.
But she looked at Xiao Ying, who was in the same wooden house, and the latter's expression became a little irritable.
Xiao Ying picked up the porcelain bowl filled with water and put it to her mouth, but unreasonable fear filled her heart and her breathing became heavy.
She tried to find the abnormality in herself, but her mind went blank.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Ying solemnly, but found nothing strange.
"I'm a little tired. I've used up too many spells."
Xiao Ying lay on the bed with her eyes closed. She continued to stay in the border fortress for a few days, then packed up her things and headed towards Heshan Town.
During this period, Jiang Feng also came to check on Xiao Ying, who quickly returned to normal.
Lu Xiaoyu was reluctant to leave. She felt that stationing in Heshan Town was too boring, and the frontier fortress was a treasure trove for earning blood crystals.
There were guards coming and going every day at the frontier fortress, but Xiao Ying's figure did not cause any movement.
She walked slowly on the mountain road.
The irritability in my heart became more and more intense, and I even began to destroy the surrounding trees without even realizing it.
Xiao Ying used her consciousness to check the flesh and blood on her body over and over again as if she was nervous, but she didn't find anything strange at all.
Her lips were dry and cracked because she had not drank water for a long time.
The footsteps gradually deviated from the mountain road.
Until Xiao Ying heard the sound of trickling water in her ears, she ran quickly towards the source uncontrollably.
Her movements became stiffer, and gravel kept pouring out of her facial features.
That was obviously a sign that flesh and blood were gradually decomposing and turning into sand. Even the cultivation of the Ghost Envoy realm could not suppress the sudden situation.
"I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."
Xiao Ying was close to the water source, and green vines sprouted all over her body, trying to prevent the body's flesh and blood from collapsing.
At night, the full moon hangs high, and the water vapor diffuses to form a light mist.
There was only one small boat on the river, and the boatman on it couldn't help shouting: "Hey!!"
"Don't stay too long by the river at night, be careful of water ghosts coming to claim your life!!"
Seeing Xiao Ying still standing on the shore, the boatman had no choice but to shake his head and ignore it, rowing the oar towards the hut where he lived.
"Help me...save me...save me..."
Xiao Ying desperately tried to make a sound, but her body was out of control at all.
The flesh and blood on her skin became less and less, her little finger peeled off from her palm, and one of her phalanges gradually disappeared into the water.
The water ripples.
Ripples appeared on the originally calm river surface, and then began to expand. Soon the water became turbulent and became increasingly turbid.
Xiao Ying's eyes were red.
She knew that if she couldn't stay away from the water, she would die soon.
But the blood turned to gravel, and it was completely nonsense to enter the Jailer's Hall unless the other Jailers could be found.
Xiao Ying's magic turned into vines that wrapped around her body, and she was forcefully led towards Heshan Town, hoping to meet the jailer.
As she moved, bones fell from her body one after another.
Xiao Ying seemed to be able to see Heshan Town in his eyes, but his legs and knees were broken, and the remaining body rolled down the hillside and fell under the shade of a tree.
Staring at the farmland in the distance with shuddering eyes.
"It turns out... Mizuze... is actually..."
She was completely lifeless.
The sun rises and the moon sets, more than ten days pass by in a blink of an eye, and the dust has already covered human bones.
Until the four to five meter big dog dug out the remains of the corpse from the soil, it came up to him with drool, and the saliva almost dripped.
"You silly dog, you also eat human bones?"
Ren Qing hated the iron and patted the husky's head.
Dozens of dragon and snake spines like chains came out of the back, frantically searching for any remaining bone residue to avoid any future trouble.
After he told Li Tiangang about the speculation about the finger bones, he learned the identity of the deceased.
It's just that the gravel that comes into contact with the water cannot be so strange. There must be some unexplainable reason behind it.
And the information flow display is also intriguing.
[Human bones transforming into water]
What does it mean to be transformed into water? Is it some kind of magic involved in Mizuze?
Ren Qing collected Xiao Ying's bones and piled them in the prison in his belly.
There are a total of 206 bones in the human body. The jailers may have slightly different bones, but they should be around 200.
He relied on the husky to find one hundred and thirty-six bones, and the rest of the jailers had at most sixty bones, which meant that there were less than ten bones left.
All the guards stationed in Heshan Town have been dispatched to search for the bones. The border guard wants to provide support, but it seems that it is too late at the moment.
Ren Qing raised his head and glanced at the thick clouds, raindrops dripping on his forehead.
Then the heavy rain started to pour down.
In the blink of an eye, it covered hundreds of miles around Heshan Town, dissipating some of the heat caused by the desertification, and the earth became cool.
Ren Qing heard the sound of roaring water and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He put away the dumb husky and ran with both feet in the direction of Heshan Town. Many guards did the same thing.
Waves of water more than half a meter high came.
Ren Qing's expression slowed down. It seemed that there were only three or four bones. The flood would not destroy the house at all, and it should not hurt anyone.
The jailers left behind in Heshan Town were all reservists. They turned into beasts and faced the waves, seemingly not knowing how to deal with it.
There was nothing they could do to protect the farmland, so they had to retreat to the town first.
Amidst the sound of roaring water, the jailer shouted to residents not to leave their houses and to lock their doors and windows.
Old Man Li's heart was beating wildly. He ignored the obstruction of the wife beside him, opened the window and looked outside, and immediately spotted the water waves.
The water waves are extremely turbid and obviously mixed with sand.
"My field..."
If the fields are flooded with sand, mud and water, it will not only affect sowing, but may also cause the soil to be no longer suitable for rice growth.
"What a shame, if I die, I will die in the fields."
Old Man Li grabbed the hoe and rushed out of the house.
The jailer's attention was focused on searching for residents on the street. When he found Old Man Li, he had already rushed into the fields.
His wife and children cried bitterly at home, but Old Man Li never stopped.
When the guards saw the water waves, they were not enough to directly injure people's lives. At most, they would cause suffocation, so only a few of them rushed towards the opponent.
Old Man Li's eyes were filled with despair.
At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Ren Qing smiled and said hello: "Long time no see."
Old Man Li opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
Water mist filled the air before my eyes.
The sound of the Kun whale's chirping was deafening, and its huge figure loomed in the mist, directly overwhelming the haze covered by dark clouds.
In an instant, the water flow reversed and formed a tornado, bypassing the fields and headed towards the Yu River under the guidance of the Kun Whale.
The jailer was shocked by such a scene and his expression was dumbfounded.
Li Tiangang appeared on the hillside not far away, holding the few remaining bones in his hand, his eyes becoming extremely complicated.
"You kid..."
Rewards will be sent out every two days.
A new story begins. Let's explore this unknown world from the perspective of the protagonist.
