An earthquake occurred in Canghai City.
Mingxi and the others had been to Shen's house that day, and when they were sleeping in the inn at night, there was a sudden tremor. He sensed something was wrong, and immediately went to the next door to look for Mio'er.
Huohuang and Xu Jinbei had already been awakened. They were the first to react. After reminding the others in the inn, they left quickly. The moment they walked out of the inn, the inn and surrounding houses collapsed.
"What happened?" Some people who were sleepy and pulled out by their companions still looked dazed.
"This is... an earthquake." Xu Jinbei still felt the vibration under his feet, "We have to leave here quickly and go to an open place."
The sleeping Canghai City was awakened in the middle of the night, with screams, cries, and shouts. The people living here have never encountered such a natural disaster. How could they sleep until midnight and shake the mountains on the spot? All the houses are in ruins.
Ming Xi's face was as calm as water, he exchanged glances with Mio'er, and the four of them left the ruins together, and there were bursts of heart-wrenching cries wherever they passed.
"Go and save people, I'll go and see what's going on." Mio'er felt sympathetic when she heard those cries.
"Don't force yourself. Although this kind of vision has never happened before, it is not necessarily what we think." Ming Xi whispered.
Mio'er said, "You know I'm not restricted. During the earthquake, I felt something strange. I'm afraid it's... the balance of the heavens collapsed. I'd better go and see. You and the fire phoenix are here to save people."
The earthquake caught people off guard. Although the tremor was only a few breaths away, many houses had already been knocked down, and it was unknown how many people had been buried.
"Okay." Ming Xi nodded lightly, "Be careful."
Seeing Mio'er leaving alone, Xu Jinbei asked suspiciously, "Where is Mio'er going? She's a girl..."
"She'll be back in a while, let's help rescue people first." Ming Xi said, it was impossible for him to ignore those people buried in the ruins.
Seeing that Mingxi didn't seem to be worried about Mio'er, Xu Jinbei knew that he was sure that Mio'er would not be in danger, so he went to help rescue her together.
The county government office in Canghai City was also in ruins, and the only ones who could come to the rescue were soldiers from the frontier. When they arrived, it was already dawn.
Mingxi and the others saved many people. The three teenagers were covered in dust, and they could no longer see a handsome face, but many people wanted to kneel down and thank them.
With the help of soldiers, their rescue was quicker, but hundreds of people died.
"Although it is winter, the dead should be buried as soon as possible." Ming Xi said to Wang Cuo who led the troops to rescue.
"You are... Your Highness?" Wang Cuo originally thought that Ming Xi was just an ordinary boy, but who knew that after washing off the dust on his face, he revealed a familiar face.
He looks too much like King Qin.
"General Wang, my name is Mingxi." Mingxi said with a light smile.
Mo Mingxi! Wang Cuo was overjoyed, "Why are you here, Your Majesty... Where are King Qin and Princess Wang?"
"They are in other places, not here." Ming Xi said, wondering how far they were from here, and whether they would be affected by the earthquake.
"Then the young master is here alone?" Wang Cuo asked in surprise, as if he didn't see any other followers around Mingxi.
Mingxi smiled faintly, "No, there are four of us."
Wang Cuo looked at Xu Jinbei and Huohuang beside Mingxi, they were all children!
"Young master, you have been tired all day. I will have someone take you back to rest. We are here. I have already asked someone to report the situation here. Your Majesty... His Majesty will send someone here soon." Wang Cuo said.
"Are there any other places besides this place where the earthquake occurred?" Ming Xi asked, although he was a little tired, but still not too weak.
Wang Cuo had a serious look on his face, "Only the Canghai City earthquake occurred. However, across the Bailong River, many places in the Yuan Kingdom were affected by the earthquake. On our side of the Jin Kingdom... I heard that there was a heavy rainstorm in the north."
Ming Xi frowned and looked at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds, and it didn't look like it was going to rain. There was no aura in the air. Although the aura was thin before, it was not like it is now, as if all the aura had been sucked away.
"Mio'er hasn't come back yet." Xu Jinbei's face was a little ugly. They were eager to save others, but they forgot the time, and now they remembered that a day and a night had passed, and Mio'er was still missing.
"Let's go find him." Mingxi whispered.
Wang Cuo thought they wanted to go out to save others, so he hurriedly said, "Young master, you have not had a rest all day, and you don't even have food or drink. Tell me who you want to save, and I will send someone to find it immediately."
It doesn't matter if Mingxi and Huohuang don't eat or drink, but Xu Jinbei is just a mortal.
"You rest here, eat something first, Huohuang and I will go find Mio'er." Mingxi said to Xu Jinbei.
"I'll go with you." Xu Jinbei said, he was so tired that his face was blue.
Wang Cuo said loudly, "You are all here, I will send someone to find you."
Just as they were talking, a girl carved in pink and jade came over. Unlike Mingxi and the others, she was clean, her face was pink and fair, and she grinned at them, "Mingxi, I'm back."
"Mio'er." Xu Jinbei's face beamed with joy.
Ming Xi nodded, "It's good to be back safely."
Wang Cuo took Mingxi and the others to the camp outside the city, and asked them to prepare meals for them. "This place is relatively simple, and the houses in the city are no longer liveable. You should be wronged first."
"Thank you, General Wang, this place is very good." All the people in the city were placed here, and most of them slept on the ground. It was very good for them to be in the camp.
"Master Mingxi, then you guys eat first, and I have to go to the city to save people." Wang Cuo said.
There were only four of them left in the tent, and Mioer whispered to Mingxi, "There was no sign of the earthquake, it happened suddenly. I went to see it, and the aura was sucked away by the cracks behind the dark clouds. When I was repairing, I met the city lord."
"The crack is... the heavenly balance has collapsed?" Fire Phoenix's expression changed.
Mio nodded slightly, "I suspect that there is a new gap in the human continent, that's why it happened."
Mingxi and Huohuang recalled the time when they saw a black hole in the mountains at the same time, "Could it be..."
"No, that already exists, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a gap." Mio said, "The castellan and I have repaired the crack, and I'm fine, but the castellan consumed too much spiritual power, and he was already injured. , I’m afraid it will take a long time to recover.”
"With my mother here, there's no need to worry too much." Ming Xi said, "It's just the new gap..."
"What are you... talking about?" Xu Jinbei who had been listening silently by the side suddenly asked with a pale face.
