Fengcheng is located in the north of the Qinglong Empire. To go to the Royal City, Huang Tian and the others only need to walk all the way south. However, Li Xingkong and Li Ruoxue said that they came from the Royal City and knew the way. Therefore, under their leadership, the three of them
Go back the way they came before.
The setting sun hung over the top of the mountain, illuminating people's vision red. The three of them stepped on the hot fine sand, making a squeaking sound.
The three of them have been walking from north to south for more than ten days. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. They are surrounded by fine sand, endless, desolate and lifeless. It is even more unbearable at noon, and you can even see
Distorted images under high temperatures.
"There's something wrong. I feel like the scene was not like this when I came here." Li Ruoxue pursed her lips, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and looked forward with slightly squinted eyes.
Li Xingkong also said: "I feel the same way, we must have gone the wrong way!"
Huang Tian rolled his eyes, feeling that these two brothers and sisters were very unreliable, and said: "You guys should think carefully about whether we made a mistake. Don't underestimate the slight deviation. The distance is long, and we may follow you later.
Our destinations are thousands of miles apart."
Li Ruoxue seemed to have discovered something, pointing to a small forest in the distance and said: "Brother, look, we seem to have seen that forest when we came here."
Li Xingkong looked along and said, "Yes, I remember there was a forest when we came here. It seems we didn't go wrong."
"In this case, it's getting late, let's rest in the woods tonight!" Li Ruoxue's tiredness was clearly visible on his face during the past few days of traveling. For Li Ruoxue's consideration, Huang Tian was not allowed to slow down his journey.
Li Ruoxue also knew that Huang Tian was thinking about himself and said: "After I go back, I will also work hard to practice and catch up with you."
Li Xingkong said: "Oh, you finally realize the importance of cultivation? But it's not too late to realize it now."
"Hmph, don't be too proud. With my princess's qualifications, if she really practices, it won't take long to catch up with you." Seeing Li Xingkong's proud expression, Li Ruoxue snorted coldly and said.
"You really think that practicing is as easy as eating!" Li Xingkong struck. "However, if that pervert in your family is willing to give you some guidance, I believe you will make rapid progress."
"Tch, this princess is a peerless genius. Even difficult things can't trouble me. Why do I need that idiot's guidance?" Li Ruoxue obviously didn't notice the fishiness in Li Xingkong's words and continued to say proudly.
Seeing that Li Xingkong was involved in the relationship between the two of them, Huang Tian sincerely reminded: "Xingkong, be careful, Ruoxue will get angry again."
Li Ruoxue didn't realize it at first, but Huang Tian's words not only reminded Li Xingkong, but also Li Ruoxue.
"You are free, you have to tell me again." Li Ruoxue said through gritted teeth.
When she thought that that bastard was willing to marry her just because someone would wash his clothes and make delicious food for him, Li Ruoxue became extremely angry. What do you think of this princess? Even if she marries anyone, she won't marry that bastard.
Li Xingkong laughed and said: "To be honest, I don't think there is anything wrong with you two being together. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. They are a very well-matched couple!"
Li Ruoxue felt uncomfortable at first, but when she saw Li Xingkong still talking, Li Ruoxue shouted loudly: "Li Xingkong."
Seeing that Li Ruoxue was really going crazy, Li Xingkong rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of world is this? It's really hard to be a brother-in-law."
At this glance, Li Xingkong saw that there was a big well outside the woods and said, "It's really strange. We didn't see that big well when we came here!"
Hearing this, Li Ruoxue and Huang Tian also looked over. Li Ruoxue said, "Yes, there was a forest when we came here, but I didn't see a well."
Huang Tian looked at the big well and felt a little strange. He said it looked like a well, but not like it, because there was no such high well, and how to draw water from such a high well.
The mouth of the well was said to be four to five meters high and seven to eight meters wide. The more Huang Tian looked at it, the more strange he became, and said: "I think we must have gone the wrong way. I really don't know how you led the way."
"Can you blame us?" Li Ruoxue defended herself.
Li Xingkong said: "Well, since we made the wrong move, no matter how much we blame, we can't change this fact. Let's go to the woods to rest for a night and make a decision tomorrow!"
"That's all it can do." Huang Tian said.
After entering the woods, the three of them found a spacious place to sit down. Huang Tian said: "You can rest here for a while. I will look around."
"Okay, then be careful." Li Xingkong reminded.
"Yes, I understand." Huang Tian responded and prepared to leave.
"Wait, I'm going too." Li Ruoxue stood up from the ground and shouted quickly.
"Hey!" Li Xingkong sighed and joked: "People in love are different. They have to do everything together. Being separated all of a sudden is a big deal. Even my brother doesn't want me."
Li Ruoxue said harshly: "You deserve it."
"Okay, you two go quickly! Don't worry about me, an old man." Li Xingkong sat on the ground, shook his head and sighed: "It's true that the world is gradually declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!"
"Let's go, Huangtian, ignore him." Li Ruoxue looked at Li Xingkong who was talking nonsense and said.
"Hmm, okay. Xingkong is really a gangster."
After the two of them disappeared from Li Xingkong's sight, he shook his head and said to himself: "Sister, sister, I am doing this for your own good."
"However, I don't know whether what I did is right or wrong?" Li Xingkong thought.
Afterwards, Li Xingkong shook his head and sighed: "Now that we have decided, why bother thinking so much? There is nothing wrong in the world and no one can bother with it."
The forest was not big, so Huang Tian and Li Ruoxue came back soon. Originally, Huang Tian wanted to pack some wild animals to roast and eat, but for some reason, he didn't even see the shadow of a bird in the forest, which made Huang Tian worried.
.
By the time the last trace of dusk disappeared, the setting sun had completely fallen.
Dark night enveloped the earth, it was still very hot in the woods, there was no sound in the darkness, it was like deathly silence.
The doubts in Huang Tian's heart became more and more serious. He lit up a fire and illuminated the dark night. The "cracking" sound of the burning flame brought a little bit of life to this silent night.
Huang Tian took out some meat that had been roasted before from the ring, but it was already cold, so Huang Tian had to bake it again.
The weather was already hot, and Huang Tian lit up a fire, making it even hotter. Li Ruoxue leaned back, looked around, and said, "I always feel that this forest is weird and a bit spooky."
Huang Tian said: "I have also noticed this. Do you remember when we started not seeing any living life?" | Li Xingkong thought for a while and said: "It was probably six or seven days ago.
, Not only that, the weather has become unbearably hot, there is sand under our feet, and there is not even a blade of grass, which is really strange."
Huang Tian nodded carefully and said: "You are right, there is something weird here. When Ruoxue and I went to investigate just now, we didn't even see a single ant."
"It seems that this place is a barren land. Maybe there is something very powerful here." Li Xingkong said.
Huang Tian nodded seriously and said: "It's very possible."
Hearing what the two said, Li Ruoxue couldn't help but shudder and said: "This place is so weird, why don't we leave now!"
"Forget it, Ruoxue, you have been traveling all day and need to take a rest." Huang Tian said. "These are just our guesses. I think we should be careful and everything should be fine!"
Li Ruoyong was still a little worried and said, "What if those things really exist?"
For some reason, Huang Tian felt uneasy in his heart, always feeling that something was going to happen. However, in order to prevent them from being careful, he couldn't say it out loud.
Huang Tian smiled and said: "I won't sleep tonight. I'll stay vigil. That's fine!"
"This is what you said, you can't sleep!"
Huang Tian nodded and said: "Well, for me, staying up all night is nothing."
