Mountains, mounds, plains, deep pits, and huge undulating terrain are connected together. There is no regular pattern but the terrain is vast. As far as the eye can see, there is only yellow earth without a trace of green.
Red soil and sand account for half of the total, and the grains are distinct. If you pick up a handful, they will slip through the gaps between your fingers.
The sun above is not very scorching, but people in this land still feel the heat and unbearable, with big drops of sweat dripping down.
This place, as unbearable as the Flaming Mountain, is the Yanlong Jedi.
"Hey, Eagle Envoy, he's gone."
The young man with a head full of off-white curly hair bumped into the middle-aged man walking in front.
He has round eyes and a fair and rosy face, looking innocent and harmless.
"who?"
The middle-aged man tilted his head slightly and looked over, his sharp eagle eyes showing a hint of fatigue.
The Yanlong Jedi is too hot and not suitable for birds.
"That beautiful water monster who has been following us out of the city since we left."
The curly-haired boy blinked and said seriously.
"How uncomfortable it must be for a water monster to come to Yanlong Desert. Did he go back because it was too hot?"
"Maybe. As long as he doesn't interfere with our work, we don't have to worry about him."
Ying Li took out the water bag from his waist and took a sip. He knew that the water monster was much stronger than himself. The breath of the Flame Dragon Jedi might make the monster feel uncomfortable, but it would not stop it from moving forward.
"Oh, I hope he has gone back..." the curly-haired boy muttered to himself, rummaging in his bag, and took out a piece of unripe green sugarcane and put it in his mouth to chew.
The moment the sugarcane is bitten in the mouth, a short white tail emerges from behind the buttocks and sways happily from side to side.
…
On the other side, Luo Zheyu looked at a hole more than half a meter long on the loess sand and matched it with the hole in the inn.
The centipede had appeared here recently, and Wanshengtang's guess was indeed correct. The other party was going to set up an array and cause trouble in the Yanlong Jedi, but no one knew what the purpose was.
The story of Luo Zheyu's appearance here started one day ago.
After he rushed back to the inn, he learned that Mi Xin was almost captured by a monster, and that the monster that wanted to capture her was organized and premeditated, not just a whim, so he had no intention of ignoring this matter.
Even if the monsters that catch people run away, we must find them again.
Coincidentally, when he went to Wanshengtang with Mi Xin to register, he "smoothly heard" the speculation of the demon in Wanshengtang about the frequent disappearances of women.
Combining the formation players with all-yin constitutions, the formation that must wait until the lunar eclipse to be activated, and the Flame Dragon Jedi that the city is connected to, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the formation.
He simply wanted to take advantage of the lunar eclipse, when the flames in the Flame Dragon Wasteland were at their weakest, to activate a large formation with people of all-yin physique as the core, to further suppress the flames, and take this opportunity to enter the core of the Flame Dragon Wasteland.
It is said that the formation of Yanlong Jedi was due to a sleeping fire dragon. The fire dragon slept for too long, and its body disappeared and merged with the earth, thus becoming Yanlong Jedi.
The most vigorous place of the Fire Dragon's Jedi Flame is the Fire Dragon's "heart".
Wanshengtang therefore sent a team of demons to Yanlong Jedi to investigate whether there were any traces of formations.
Luo Zheyu asked to go with them, but even after being rejected, he did not give up and followed behind.
Yanlong Jedi is not under the jurisdiction of the Urban Management Bureau, nor is it under the jurisdiction of Wanshengtang. They have no right to interfere with who wants to go to Yanlong Jedi.
…
Another thing is the river clam monster.
He didn't know what he was about to face, nor did he think that tricking the villagers into sacrificing young girls for him was an unforgivable crime, so he confessed quickly.
The results came out quickly too.
Although the clam monster was not native to Bi City, it was brought to Bi City now.
He will work for Bicheng for 80 years, producing three pearls every month. If he produces one less, the labor will be extended by half a year.
After Wanshengtang asked Luo Zheyu about the specific location of the four women who were regarded as wives by the clam monster, he decided to take over temporarily and was willing to arrange future work and daily life for the four women.
If the four women are willing to forgive the clam monster's actions, the issue of reducing his sentence will be considered as appropriate.
At this time, Mi Xin also joined in the fun.
She believed that she was also a victim of the clam monster and hoped that Wanshengtang would give her a job that could support herself. However, the other party said that she had a special physique. Since she came to Bicheng, she was suggested to become a cultivator. In the future, she would be able to do things more conveniently than ordinary people and would have the power to protect herself.
But Mi Xin had no way out. Luo Zheyu was a demon and could not teach her. The martial arts she practiced was just a "boy's skill" picked out from a bunch of dual cultivation techniques in Wanmianjing's hands.
Before Luo Zheyu came to Yanlong Jedi, Mi Xin was still worried about this matter.
…
Rustle...
There was a faint sound in the pit.
Immediately afterwards, a beetle as thick as an arm suddenly jumped out from under the red soil and flew towards his face.
Luo Zhe waved his jade sleeve lightly, and the beetle fell backwards to the ground. The filamentous things on its mouthparts struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.
This is one of the characteristics of the Flame Dragon Jedi. It lurks underground, jumps out when people are not paying attention, pounces on the person's face, and the fine filaments on its mouthparts pierce into the flesh to suck blood for food.
After traveling in this Yanlong wasteland for a day, the dry and hot weather made Luo Zheyu feel a little uncomfortable. He snapped his fingers, and a dark cloud appeared over his head, covering him, and it began to rain heavily.
move on.
Unexpectedly, they had only walked a distance when they met the monsters from Wansheng Hall again. They didn't walk far.
There were more than ten monsters from Wansheng Hall, surrounded by more than thirty humans.
They were all practitioners who came to Yanlong Jedi for training or to fight monsters and collect materials. They held sharp blades and had different clothing styles. Although they stood together, they were secretly wary of each other and did not form a group.
Luo Zheyu saw Tan Linfei among them.
"We are the demons of Wansheng Hall, human. What do you want to do by stopping us here?"
Ying Li took a step forward, looked around with his eagle eyes, and asked sternly.
"What? Haha... he asked us what we are going to do." The man in white clothes with black edges holding a long knife looked at his companions with a sneer.
His companions were dressed the same as him, there were eight of them in total, except that the rest were wearing white clothes with purple edges. It was obvious at a glance that they belonged to the same faction, and were scattered among the crowd.
"Of course it's to catch monsters, what else can we do!" the companion answered loudly.
"Heh, I wonder if you want to capture the irrational demons in Yanlong Jedi, or the demons in our Wansheng Hall?"
Ying Li asked in a cold voice, his temper was direct and explosive.
"We have stopped you all. Isn't it a little late for you to ask such a question?"
"It seems that you all want to be enemies with Wanshengtang."
"Wait a minute! They were the ones who said they wanted to catch monsters, but we didn't say anything." Another man in dark red soft armor interjected, and the others nodded in agreement.
"Yeah yeah."
"I am only here to gain experience at the order of my master. He did not ask me to catch any monsters other than the Flame Dragon Jedi."
"That's right, I'm just bored so I'm against Wanshengtang..."
Hearing everyone retreating, the man in the white robe with black edges sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? There are thirty-eight of us and there are only fifteen monsters. Are you afraid that you can't win? Kill all these monsters. Then who will know it was us who did it!"
"What a coward! You probably don't know how valuable these monsters that have cultivated into human form are. How can their scales, monster pills and other items be compared to those of the Yanlong Juedi monsters? Refining their monster pills into medicine and taking it can increase your strength by a hundred years!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the already tense atmosphere between the two sides became even more tense.
The monsters in Wansheng Hall were on high alert, while the people on the opposite side were ready to make a move.
Just as Luo Zheyu was about to go forward to rescue, the situation developed further.
In the crowd, Tan Linfei sheathed his sword and said solemnly, "I swore to exorcise the demon, but I don't want to be used as a gun."
He looked at the man in the white robe with black edges.
"This friend is probably treating us like fools and taking advantage of us because we are inexperienced. He is not afraid of turning into a monster by refining demon pills."
"Besides, you are cruel and cunning, just like demons. I don't want to be in conspiracy with you."
After saying this, he pulled the woman in green beside him and was about to leave.
The people in white robes looked at each other with a slight gleam in their eyes.
"Don't be impatient, little brother. We are not just talking nonsense." One of them said, reaching into his arms and taking out a small box.
"This is a successful demon pill. For earth-type demons, taking it can increase your power by eighty years, and there are no hidden dangers!"
For a moment, everyone focused their attention on the small box in his hand.
"I can give this pill away, who's willing to try it?"
He shouted loudly, but everyone around him remained silent. Silence is golden.
No one wants to be a guinea pig.
I have never heard that after refining the demon pill, taking it can increase one's strength.
"Why don't you let me try it."
Only a clear, jade-like voice could be heard, and a young man in red clothes slowly walked towards them from a distance.
It seemed slow, but it was actually fast. In just two breaths, the young man in red was already there.
He has a very good-looking appearance, but he is naturally frosty, cold, aloof and unkind.
His thin lips parted slightly, with a hint of coldness on them. Even in this extremely hot Yanlong wasteland, it could not warm him up at all.
I only heard him whisper, "I wonder if the medicine made from your demon pill is useful for demons?"
Is it useful?
The man in the white robe holding the small box was too stiff to move or answer.
The young man in red who suddenly appeared in front of him was not a human being, but a real monster with a strong demonic aura and strength far above his.
With all the people around him with varying strengths, plus his seven subordinates, if he tried his best, he might be able to defeat the other party, but... each of these people is cunning and cherishes their lives very much, so I'm afraid they will just run and try their best.
Only when you feel that your life is too long will you tell the other person that the medicine made from the demon pill is very useful. Come and take it quickly.
But it would be embarrassing to say nothing, and his clothes on the back were soaked with cold sweat.
Ying Li bowed slightly.
Luo Zheyu nodded in response.
…
"He is so handsome." The woman in green murmured.
She had already changed back into women's clothes. At this moment, she had a graceful figure, bright eyes, white teeth, and a dimpled smile.
"It's this monster again, haunting us..."
Tan Linfei glanced at his senior sister, then looked at Luo Zheyu with even more gritted teeth, his face gloomy, his fingers shaking with anger.
This was not the first time that the senior sister had seen this monster. The last time was in the inn. The girl in the next room was attacked by the monster, but within half an hour, the monster in front of her came back.
The next day, the senior sister changed back into women's clothes.
…
Luo Zheyu felt the gaze and his eyeballs turned slightly. His golden eyes scanned around, cold and dangerous.
Everyone felt threatened and held their breath, not daring to breathe for fear of being noticed. They were tense all over, ready to run away at any time.
He raised his hand slightly and hooked his fingers. The small box in the white-robed man's hand seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, flew through the air, and landed steadily in his hand.
The man in white robe grabbed at the air several times in vain, but caught nothing, and looked terrified.
He winked again at the rest of the people standing in the crowd.
"Walk!"
Bang!
There was a loud explosion and pink smoke filled the air. The thick smoke completely blocked the vision.
Not only that, the pink smoke actually contains poisonous smoke.
It is not a powerful poison, but if you inhale it into your nasal cavity unexpectedly, your whole body will feel hotter, as if being burned by fire, and you will feel more thirsty. If you do not replenish yourself with plenty of water in time, you may die of dehydration.
But this is the Flame Dragon's wasteland, where not even a blade of grass can survive. There are no ordinary animals, only monsters.
Not to mention finding water, there is none here.
My throat is dry, my lips are chapped, my chest feels tight, and I feel dizzy and dizzy.
Most humans were hit, but the monsters were a little further away, so they had time to react and were not affected. They just watched with expressionless faces.
Ying Li took off the water bag from his waist and threw it over.
The other monsters behind him reluctantly took down their water bags and muttered, "Eagle Envoy, no matter what they do, they are not from my city, they are very bad."
Ying Li opened his mouth, and just when Luo Zheyu thought he was going to say something touching, he pointed his finger at a thin man at the back of the crowd opposite.
"He is from Bicheng."
Worthy of being called Hawkeye.
With a wave of his hand, a dark cloud floated in the sky, covering everyone.
Crackle, clackle...
It rained heavily and all humans were soaked and felt cold.
