Chapter 93

The desert was dead silent. All that could be seen was dry and yellow soil and the lingering red mist.

Something seemed to be hiding in the mist, observing and lurking in the dark. In

this strange and terrifying atmosphere, a thin young man in a gray-blue uniform suddenly appeared in the desert.

Almost at the moment he appeared, the originally calm mist suddenly surged, and the wind roared over the desert, with an incomparable huge momentum, wrapped in a rich red tide, and swept towards the young man. "

Ding-ding ... The piercing alarm woke up the leader of the meteorological observation team who was taking a nap during lunch break. He almost immediately stood up, quickly put on his uniform jacket, and rushed to the monitoring station. "Xiao Liu, what happened? Is there extreme weather again?" Liu Jia, who was sitting in front of the monitoring station, shook her head and said, "The concentration of the red fog in the east of the base is increasing rapidly, and the movement trajectory is also abnormal, but so far, it has not come towards the base." This situation is more like a monster in the red fog fighting - according to long-term observations, the red fog monsters also have the behavior of competing for territory, which often causes abnormal fluctuations in the red fog. "Keep observing, don't take it lightly!" "Yes, team leader!" The team leader had gray hair and deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. He stared at the data continuously sent back by the monitor, his expression becoming more and more solemn. After hesitating for a while, he reported the relevant information to the intelligent computer. Regardless of whether extreme weather will occur in the future, it is better to be cautious. However, just as he finished reporting the information, he found that the red mist in the monitor, which was originally converging and surging towards a point, suddenly stopped, and then quickly retreated to the east, south, and north at a speed that shocked the members of the meteorological team. The reaction was as if there was some terrible beast chasing it from behind, and it was scrambling to escape in all directions. But no matter how you think about it, this is a very absurd metaphor. The only thing to be thankful for is that the red mist did not retreat towards the base. In just two or three seconds, this area, which was originally red to black, turned into a normal white! "Team...Team leader, what does this phenomenon mean?" Liu Jia has only been in the job for more than a year, and it is the first time she has seen such a situation. After being stunned for a while, she looked at the experienced old team leader who has worked in Hell Star for nearly ten years, and asked humbly. Old team leader: "..." You ask me, who should I ask! Su Ci looked at the empty view around him and nodded with satisfaction. As for whether this situation would attract the attention of the base... Anyway, he had the intelligent computer to back him up, so he didn't need to worry at all. The little monkey squatted on Su Ci's shoulder, looking around with a pair of big round eyes. The surrounding scenery was desolate and lonely. Even after the red mist faded, the terrifying atmosphere was gone, and the visual effect was not much better. Su Ci held A Yan's hand and walked forward. He only took one step, but appeared dozens of meters away, as if he had teleported. However, A Yan, who was following him, knew that this was not teleportation. "Shrink the ground into an inch." Su Ci took the initiative to say, as if he knew A Yan's curiosity, "It's a very interesting spell. Try it carefully. I'll test you later." Since A Yan could learn to teleport, shrinking the ground into an inch was a piece of cake, so Su Ci said this. A Yan nodded, and his expression became serious. Even the little monkey squatting on Su Ci's shoulder couldn't help but be attracted by their conversation. And Su Ci, he continued to lead the two little guys and kept walking forward. With every step he took, the red mist that had retreated far away continued to retreat another ten feet. Occasionally, one or two giant insects could be seen, exposed after the red mist faded. After looking around blankly, they quickly turned around and quickly drilled back into the red mist, or buried their heads in the ground, leaving holes on the ground. The little monkey noticed this and clapped his hands in amusement, forgetting all the lost emotions just now. Su Ci slightly curved his lips and led them to continue walking forward. Finally, they stopped in front of a river that stretched in front of them. In fact, it can no longer be called a river. The entire winding river channel is about twenty meters wide and nearly seven or eight meters deep. However, what you see is basically a dry and cracked riverbed, with only a few low places accumulating shallow muddy water. The muddy water had a strange red color. The surface of the water was calm, but it gave people a sense of discomfort, as if there were pairs of eyes hidden under the small water holes, hiding under the water and spying on the people on the shore. Su Ci's figure flashed and appeared in front of a water hole. The water source of this big river should have dried up or been blocked by something. These shallow water holes were caused by the bloody rain some time ago. The little monkey who was squatting on Su Ci's shoulder and looking around felt the strange atmosphere at this moment and couldn't help shrinking inward. Su Ci felt the soft fur rubbing against his face and couldn't help but smile. However, when he looked down at the water pit, his expression instantly withdrew. The next moment - "Boom!" A blood-red shadow flew out of the water pit - or rather, it was the water pit itself. The turbid blood-colored mud and water made up its entire body. It squirmed slickly and emitted a foul odor. This monster made of blood-colored mud and water rushed towards Su Ci! Su Ci stood there, motionless like a mountain. When the blood-red mud monster had already come before him and his eyes could already reflect the mud monster's hideous face - a golden light flashed slightly in the young man's eyes. Ten centimeters. The mud monster was only ten centimeters away from him. However, even at such a short distance, the mud monster couldn't touch Su Ci, let alone move forward a bit. Even the foul-smelling breath emanating from its body was blocked by a transparent light curtain.

The little monkey squatted on Su Ci's shoulder. When the mud monster rose into the sky, it squeaked, but it did not turn around and run away. When the mud monster was close to its eyes, it was still scared and covered its eyes with its little hands.

When it found that the pain it imagined did not come, it carefully moved its fingers away and looked at the mud monster in front of it through the gap between its fingers.

The mud monster was nearly three meters tall. After rising from the ground, it bent an arc and attacked them.

The huge figure could almost be described as covering the sky and the sun, leaving a great shock in the little monkey's heart. However, what shocked it even more was...

the slender keeper, facing the giant mud monster, stood still and just stared at it, making it unable to move forward at all.

It roared angrily, looking very ferocious, but it seemed more like it was just showing off, because its muddy and slippery body seemed to be stuck in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward.

"Roar——"

The blood-colored mud monster's roar full of unwillingness and resentment echoed on the empty riverbed, and mud and water splashed everywhere along with its roar.

Although the light shield protected them, the mud and water could not splash on Su Ci and A Yan, but Su Ci still frowned when he saw the disgusting blood-colored mud.

Then, the huge blood-colored mud monster was pushed back into the water pit at a faster speed than when it came out just now.

The calm water surface seemed like a seal.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

The mud monster that was pushed back into the water kept hitting the water surface, making a series of muffled sounds. It was not that it could not see the situation clearly and wanted to continue attacking Su Ci, but...

when it wanted to drill down, it found that the mud that was previously unimpeded was now as hard as stone. It was really sealed in the water hole and could not escape!

Seeing that the mud monster was easily subdued by Su Ci, although he already understood his strength, A Yan couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

If it were him, if he encountered such a monster, he would only turn around and run away. At present, he has not mastered other means of fighting except teleportation.

He has to work harder next. If he wants to go into the red mist in the future, he must at least have the strength to protect himself.

At this time, Su Ci looked at the mud monster in the water hole and said to the two boys, "This is a monster born from the accumulation of mud and resentment. In the future, when you encounter such a puddle in the wild, you must be careful."

According to the resentment gathered in this mud monster and the depth of the red color, this mud monster must have killed many people and devoured a lot of flesh and blood to have such a body.

Su Ci's eyes flashed with some disgust.

Then, he turned his palm and saw a ball of red flame appeared on his palm, burning quietly.

The little monkey looked at the ball of flame that suddenly appeared and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because he could feel that this ball of flame - and the red flame of No. 2, gave him a feeling very similar.

No, that's not right, it feels much stronger than the red flame.

The extremely violent and unruly flame that tortured No. 2 every moment was so quiet and well-behaved in the hands of the keeper, without any trace of irritability or ferocity.

The little monkey couldn't help but want to touch it, but of course, it was just a thought.

"Flame is the nemesis of this monster."

It was obviously the first time Su Ci encountered this monster, but he saw through its characteristics and weaknesses at a glance.

Judging from the large and small water pits on this riverbed, there should be more than one monster of this kind, and there are many of them, so he simply came to teach on the spot.

Su Ci raised his hand lightly, and the red flame that was burning quietly in his hand flew out and landed in the water pit.

Obviously, water should conquer fire, but after the red flames came into contact with the water pit, they not only did not go out, but burned more and more vigorously.

"Roar! Roar!!!"

Su Ci had already untied the restraints on the mud monster, but the mud monster had no way to escape. It screamed in pain under the scorching flames, emitting bursts of miserable roars.

The flames burned fiercely.

However, strangely, the water in the water pit was not evaporated. It seemed that only the mud monster was being scorched by the flames.

Finally, when the sound of the mud monster gradually faded and could no longer be heard, the shallow water pit returned to peace again. After the red flames were recovered by Su Ci, the mud water no longer showed blood red, but turned back to its original earth yellow.

After a period of sedimentation, it may become clear again.

Looking at this scene, A Yan said in confusion: "The water did not disappear."

Su Ci slightly curled his lips, "This will test your control over the flame."

But the most important reason is that the red flame, even the strongest fire, can burn all the dirty things. After burning the resentment, the mud monster will be destroyed naturally without the source of power.

So, to a certain extent, the red flame tiger is really the nemesis of these monsters.

Unfortunately, No. 2 can't really master the power of the red flame now, otherwise, he can really take him to walk in the red mist and play with these monsters, which can also consume his energy that has nowhere to vent.

Su Ci pondered the future development direction of No. 2, and then continued to walk towards another water hole.

There were dozens of water holes of different sizes on the riverbed. When Su Ci burned the first mud monster to death, the originally calm water surface of these water holes began to shake.

They squirmed hard, and finally gathered together to form a water hole with a diameter of about ten meters.

After gathering together, the aura emanating from this water hole became even more dangerous and terrifying. The next moment, a giant mud monster with a head circumference of more than ten meters slowly emerged from the water hole.

In the distance, a combat aircraft flew over carefully from the direction of Base 24.

It was after noticing the anomaly that Yan Ping's team finally decided to come and check it out in person. The reason why he made this judgment was that the red mist in the direction of Base 24 was almost cleared.

The detected pollutant concentration level was even lower than that of the base except for the cultivation garden.

However, before setting off, he still took the latest garlic spray developed by the cultivation garden at the suggestion of the intelligent computer, and flew all the way to the area where the anomaly first appeared, and he did not encounter any trouble.

It was just that in this area, with his naked eyes, he did not find anything wrong.

Then, they heard a roar coming from not far away.

Yan Ping remembered that there was a dry river in that direction, and there were many monsters made of bloody muddy water on the riverbed. When the red mist first appeared, when the base sent people to explore the surroundings, a team was stuck there.

Fortunately, these muddy water monsters only move in the riverbed. As long as they don't enter the range of the riverbed, there will be basically no danger.

Moreover, these muddy water monsters are usually very quiet. They lurk under the riverbed and wait for an opportunity to attack passing creatures unexpectedly.

But today...

why is it so noisy? The voice sounded very angry.

In the red mist, what changes have happened that they don't know about? Yan Ping frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Speaking of new changes, the most troublesome one is undoubtedly the invasion of the base buildings by monsters. When he just received the news of the Red Mist's abnormal movement, he was leading his team to investigate in the metal wall tunnel.

This is why he decided to come out and take a look so quickly - the area where the abnormal movement occurred was very close to him.

And now, the restlessness of the bloody mud monster has attracted his attention.

"Captain, what should we do next?" asked Guan Zhishu next to him.

Listening to the deafening roars, her face turned a little pale, but her voice sounded calm.

Yan Ping frowned.

In this case, for safety reasons, it is better to return to the base as soon as possible. However, the problem is that if they miss the clues of the unusual movement and fail to grasp the information in time, it may also plant safety risks in the future.

Only by grasping the situation in time can they respond early.

In the end, he still gave the order: "Continue to fly forward, slow down a little, let's go and see what happened."

"Yes!"

These battle-hardened members of the action team did not show any fear. They all stared at the direction of the riverbed, full of vigilance.

One of the team members comforted the obviously nervous pilot and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't fly above the riverbed, we will be safe."

"Those disgusting mud monsters... Damn it!"

He just wanted to say that those mud monsters would not leave the riverbed, but he saw

a giant more than 20 meters tall emerging from the riverbed in front of him. It was full of mud, or it was made of mud. Only a ferocious face could be vaguely seen on its head.

If the depth of the river itself is added, then this mud giant is at least 30 meters high!

"..."

The team member who just spoke felt that he was going crazy, because with the height of this mud giant, even if it couldn't leave the riverbed, it could pull them down from the sky just by reaching out!

"Return! Return immediately!"

Yan Ping gave the order without hesitation, and the pilot finally came to his senses and hurriedly changed direction.

He heard the roar of the blood-red mud monster giant rushing towards them, and the airflow that rolled up almost overturned their flying ship.

Fortunately, he had superb skills and stabilized the flying ship in the turbulent airflow in time, and then flew desperately towards the base.

The pilot's mind was full of: Ah ah ah! They were discovered! The monster is coming to chase them! He doesn't want to be eaten!

The combat flying ship, how slow it came, how fast it left, disappeared in the distance in a puff of smoke.

In fact, the huge blood-colored mud monster didn't even look at them. All its attention was on the thin young man in front of it, who was not even as tall as it by a knuckle.

"Roar!"

A dozen mud monsters gathered together, and finally had the courage to face Su Ci. They also felt that they had the strength to fight. The whole momentum was different.

The mud monster giant raised a hand and slapped Su Ci and the others fiercely.

However, the expression on Su Ci's face did not change from beginning to end. On the contrary, after seeing these mud monsters gathered together, he showed a trace of relief.

It's great that we don't have to solve them one by one.

This time, Su Ci did not use the red flame again. After all, it was for teaching, so naturally he had to give more examples. Not everyone can use the red flame.

"Ayan, watch out."

Su Ci raised his hand, and a ball of light emerged. "The best way to deal with monsters generated by resentment is still--"

"Purification!"

As his voice fell, the ball of light golden light flew out and landed on the palm of the blood-colored mud monster.

Its palm was so big, and in front of that huge palm, the small ball of light was like a tiny dust. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see its light.

However, when the tiny light came into contact with the huge palm of the blood-colored mud monster, it directly disintegrated the giant palm

!

The tiny ball of light continued to spread, constantly disintegrating the monster's body, first the palm, then the arm, and finally the entire upper body.

Wherever the light passed, pieces of mud faded their blood color and fell from the air.

They separated automatically above Su Ci's head and slid down to his sides and back, forming three small hills of earthy yellow. The young man standing in the hills, with a smile on his face, watched the bloody mud monster disappear calmly.

The originally majestic bloody mud monster let out a terrified and painful roar. It kept retreating and struggling, but the spreading purifying force kept following it closely.

When the upper body began to decompose, the bloody mud monster's body separated again, from a giant of 20 to 30 meters high, it once again turned into bloody mud figures of different sizes.

These clay figures kept running on the ground, scrambling to escape in all directions, no longer having any courage to fight Su Ci.

But now, can they still escape?

Or rather, from the moment they met Su Ci, their fate was actually doomed.

The power of purification did not dissipate because of their separation, but was equally distributed to each of them, so in the process of running away, their bodies continued to disintegrate.

As pieces of mud fell off, the clay figures turned into clumps of moving mud, until the last trace of resentment was purified and turned back into mud, falling to the spot and unable to move anymore.

After the last mud monster was purified, the riverbed suddenly became quiet, as peaceful and silent as if nothing had happened. After

a few breaths, balls of light floated out of the mud and transformed into human-shaped phantoms.

When they saw Su Ci, they seemed to be slightly stunned, but soon they calmed down, and then everyone saluted Su Ci in unison, silently expressing their gratitude to Su Ci.

Su Ci looked at them, and after a slight hesitation, he also returned the salute according to the common sense that emerged in his mind.

The little monkey that had been squatting on Su Ci's shoulder looked at Su Ci, then at the phantom figures. It did not run away even when faced with the sudden attack of the blood-colored mud monster, but at this moment, it jumped off Su Ci's shoulder.

The little monkey stood on the ground, imitating Su Ci's movements, and saluted the phantom souls.

Standing in the front, it could be vaguely seen that it was a young female soldier. She smiled at the little monkey, and her phantom figure gradually faded, and finally turned into dots of light, and merged into the land under her feet with her companions. The little monkey stared

at them in a daze.

It was obvious that it did not know these people, nor did it know their stories, but for some reason, when it saw them, it felt sour in its heart.

When the monkey saw them disappearing into dots of light, tears fell from the little monkey's eyes.

The young man squatted down beside the little monkey.

He reached out and touched its head, and said softly, "Don't be sad. They just changed their way to continue to protect this land."

When everything recovers, perhaps, they will appear on this land again with a brand new look...
