The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

...

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 254 The First Dead

Countless people gathered before this waterfall, which seemed to burst the world's oceans.

Some travel in groups, some alone, riding strange and unusual wild beasts, while others are pilgrims.

Pilgrims sat cross-legged, palms touching, swaying their bodies and singing extremely ancient songs.

"The earth rises with my will, the sea of ​​trees forms a house, the yellow sand beats its wings, maturity attacks everything, and there is still life after death."

"Light weaves a cage, and the wind captures everything."

"I hear the times working against me."

"then--"

"I let the morning star burn, the twilight anchor, and I anchor at this moment."

"I have enthroned myself as the master of the world; I am the king of wind and light."

Pilgrims repeatedly chanted this folk song.

Among these people were the old and the young, men and women, red-haired sand people, blond dwarves, forest people with tree bark, and giants made of ice. There were strong and weak.

Before such a magnificent spectacle, they were all believers.

Peng!

With a slight hiss, the Yellow Sand Waterfall sneezed, spraying a handful of mud and sand high into the air.

Dozens of figures rushed forward, and a dazzling display of light clashed, turning the sky into a riot of colors, like a hundred flowers blooming and fireworks exploding.

The battle was as swift as fireworks, quickly fading into obscurity.

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan exchanged a glance.

The beings I just fought were all sand people. I don't know whether to call it 'magic power,' 'true qi,' 'divine power,' or 'battle qi.' The energy was red, blue, and purple, with varying shades, but it was essentially the fire element of the Five Elements.

“It’s a knife,” Li Qianxia said, looking at the sandman who had snatched the mud. “There really is a weapon in the waterfall!”

"But..." Xiao Wu asked, puzzled, "How did ordinary people get their hands on these weapons?"

Among those who were fighting for it just now, the combat strength was over 100. Let alone ordinary people without weapons, even someone with weapons would just be throwing their life away if they went up there.

...She was holding a giant sword and couldn't even participate in the robbery because she couldn't fly or jump that far.

"Is there any way to change hair color?" Li Changzhou asked Yaochi.

"You want to play with them?"

"Where would we find the time to play? We're out gathering intelligence."

"No."

There wasn't so much nonsense.

"Were you just thinking to yourself, 'No, why all this nonsense?'" Yaochi stared into Li Changzhou's eyes, pointing her finger at him.

"Wait a little longer." Li Changzhou toyed with the clod of earth in his hand, changing the subject. "There should still be changes."

"It's also possible that it will simply disappear," Yang Qinglan cautioned.

"Brother, what is this?" Li Qianxia's attention returned to the weapon in his hand.

Li Changzhou ignored his sister and smiled at Yang Qinglan, saying, "These people might just jump in, but that—"

A group of people walked along the rocky islets on the Yellow Sand River to the edge of the waterfall, tied ropes, and jumped down.

“He really jumped.” Yang Qinglan looked at Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou remained silent.

"Brother!" Li Qianxia pinched his waist, ignoring him.

"Pilot, could you please move the cloud a little closer?" Li Changzhou said, sharing the data about the clod of earth with his sister.

【Name: A small amount of mud from a corner of the "Turning the Sky Seal"】

[Type: Weapon]

【Introduction: 1. Extremely sharp and extremely sturdy (included with this tool);

2. As expected (included with this device)

3. Enlargement – ​​from small gravel to large hills hundreds of meters high;

4. Variable weight – as light as a pebble, yet weighing 10 million tons;

[Note: The Heaven-Turning Seal was lost and fell to the ground. This is a piece of clay that was pressed into the shape of a corner of the seal by the Heaven-Turning Seal, and it is tainted with a negligible amount of the Heaven-Turning Seal's aura.]

Yaochi manipulated the cloud platform, flying towards the desert waterfall and hovering directly above the crevice.

The crack was very long; even with Li Changzhou's eyesight, he couldn't see where it ended. There was plenty of space above, so there was no need to worry about getting too close to the Sandman experts.

People started jumping into the waterfall one after another.

Some people ride flying birds and beasts above the "sand pool"; others are tied with ropes and fall directly into the "sand pool" to swim.

A boy with red hair and purple eyes suddenly plunged into the sand. After five or six minutes, he surfaced again from a short distance away, lying on his back, panting heavily.

"Smack!"

The whip lashed the boy's face, leaving a bloody welt: "Keep searching!"

The boy was a slave of a large tribe.

The cracks stretched as far as the horizon, and the "sand pool" at the bottom of the waterfall was naturally unimaginably large. Many tribes would send warriors and slaves down to search for it.

Swimming in a flowing sea of ​​sand is simply impossible for ordinary people on Earth; they would sink in as soon as they made a move.

Only the Four Seasons Star People, whose physical constitution is superior to that of Earthlings, and who are trained Sand People, can do this.

Besides the tribes, there are also many lone wolves who silently venture into the "sand pit" time and time again in remote corners to search for treasures.

Those who survived, found the treasure, and successfully deceived the surrounding large tribes would take the treasure, create a small legend, or even establish a small tribe similar to the Qingshui tribe.

The best among them can develop their tribe into a large tribe like the Blood Sand Tribe.

Li Changzhou glanced at the "sand pool" once, then focused his attention on the experts. These people must know the most information and take the most effective actions, so he just needed to keep an eye on them.

Yang Qinglan looked down at the "Sand Pool," her brows slightly furrowed, her beauty as radiant as Xi Shi cradling her heart, as if she were deep in thought.
