As night falls, the ice and snow city lights up with countless lights, and when viewed from the sky, it looks as bright as the Milky Way. However, because the weather is too cold, no pedestrians can be seen walking in the streets and alleys once it gets dark. Occasionally, people are walking, but they are in a hurry, and they don't know if they have encountered something urgent.
A young man walked out of a clothing store. He was wearing a thick cotton jacket and a black hood on his head. Only his eyes were exposed from head to toe.
The owner of the clothing store stood at the door and waved to the young man: "Friend, remember to come and have a drink with me next time you come to Ice and Snow City."
The young man didn't look back, just waved his hand and walked away in an instant.
This young man was Ning Tao who paid a cent of gold to hitchhike back to Ice and Snow City. After seeing off Shenzhou, Cixin and Song Qingyin, he followed the owner of the clothing store back to the clothing store, bought a cotton-padded jacket, and returned I drank some wine with my boss and didn't go out until dark.
Considering that the strange things that happened in the Ice and Snow City were most likely related to Himya, the goddess of wisdom, he had to proceed with caution. The reason why he chose to act at night is because the Immortal Catcher cannot act at night. Even if the goddess of wisdom Himia comes down, he will not be afraid of her without the help of the Immortal Catcher.
Snow suddenly fell from the sky, and goose-feather-like snowflakes fell down one after another. The street lights on the street became increasingly dim. In such weather, for ordinary people, they could not see from a few meters away.
This kind of weather is perfect for doing some secret things.
Ning Tao continued walking towards the city lord's mansion.
"Is that Wu Sheng already controlled by Himya, the goddess of wisdom? I'm going to go into his head later to see what happened to him." Ning Tao was thinking about the plan as he walked.
The City Lord's Mansion is getting closer and closer.
Suddenly there was the sound of neat footsteps in the wind and snow.
Only military marches can be so orderly.
Ning Tao's feet touched the ground lightly, leaving no trace on the snow, but the other person had already flown onto the roof of a house on the street.
As soon as he climbed down from the roof and shielded his whole body, a group of hundreds of city guards passed through the street in front of the house. Those city guards were all wearing white fairy armor, holding battle axes and shields, and they all looked very mighty.
The army of Ice and Snow City did not participate in the war between the Bu Ri Dynasty, Heavenly Kingdom and Namo Marsh. Ning Tao also knew very little about this city. This was the first time he saw an army of hundreds of people in Ice and Snow City. From what he could observe at a glance, the strength, equipment and momentum of these immortal warriors were very good, not inferior to Zhi Xian'er's Shenhe Group at all.
The leader of the team was an immortal. He walked beside the team, lecturing as he walked: "You all cheer up, you are all exhausted, haven't you eaten? Tell me, who are you!"
One by one, the immortal warriors roared: "We are frost warriors! Our mission is to defend the ice and snow city—ha ha!"
This is obviously a slogan they often use, and the last roar is even more domineering. If it were on the battlefield, it might also have the effect of boosting morale and intimidating the enemy.
Of course, this is only for immortal warriors of the same level. If it is against gods, let alone slogans and roars to boost morale, even beating chicken blood will be useless.
The leader of the team raised his voice and said: "The city lord has an order. There may be suspicious people sneaking into the Ice and Snow City in the near future with evil intentions. You all should keep your eyes open and don't miss any suspicious people!"
"Hoha!" Hundreds of Frost Warriors
Another roar.
Ning Tao secretly said in his heart: "Suspicious person? You can't be talking about me, right? If it is me, then Wu Sheng, the lord of Ice and Snow City, may really be inseparable from the matter at hand."
who is he
He is the king of the Mortal Immortal Land. He used to be the Immortal King, but now he is the God King.
Wu Shengming knew he was coming, so instead of arranging for anyone to greet him, he instituted martial law throughout the city. Didn't this make it clear that he was not the king of God
Ning Tao actually didn't care much about this, but the mysterious sand of death appeared in the minds of hundreds of thousands of people in this ice and snow city. If this matter had anything to do with Wu Sheng, then he would really die.
The hundred-man patrol was gone in the blink of an eye.
Ning Tao came down from the roof and continued to sneak towards the city lord's mansion.
Along the way, he encountered two teams of Frost Warrior patrols, but this obstacle did not exist for him at all. He easily avoided it, and then came to the center of Ice and Snow City, where Wu Sheng's city lord's palace was located. In the urban area, at the intersection of several streets.
Entering the central city, Ning Tao felt something was wrong.
There was not even a single light in such a large area of the city, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street. There was no other sound except the sound of the howling wind and snow. This place looked like a place where everyone had died.
Ning Tao flew against the wind and flew towards the city lord's mansion without touching the ground, observing the surrounding situation with his divine eyes.
There was no one in the houses on both sides of the street. To be precise, there was no living person. From the characteristics of death that he saw with his divine eyes, most of the houses were occupied by people, but they were not living people. All the immortals in the central city were dead.
Ning Tao couldn't help his curiosity anymore. He stopped in front of a house, opened the door and walked in.
The room was quiet. After passing through the main room, he came to a bedroom.
There were two immortals lying in the bedroom, a man and a woman. They both looked young and seemed to be a couple.
The young couple were dead, but their death was not normal at all. The couple's skin was dark and shiny, and they had a deep sense of death.
Ning Tao came to the bedside and put his hand on the male master's forehead. His tentacles were cold, and the death energy on the corpse crawled up his hand like poisonous insects, trying to get into his body.
Ning Tao ignored it directly, and with a thought, a trace of the power of creation penetrated into the male master's mind.
The scene in the male master's mind appeared in his mind.
It was a dead brain without any thought activity. Brain cells that should have been white also turned pitch black, like coal particles.
Finally, his spiritual mind came to the sand of death again, and this sight suddenly surprised him.
That grain of death sand was like a seed. It took root in the male master's brain and sprouted. Some black energy roots had spread into the male master's brain, and it also had a slightly cracked shape. sign.
Is it really a seed
Ning Tao's spiritual thoughts invaded the cracks in the sand of death.
But before his spiritual thoughts could enter the crack and get a glimpse of the situation inside, the slightly carved runes on the sand of death suddenly lit up. A powerful death energy rushed toward him like a poisonous snake. At the same time, the male host lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. There was no white in the eyes, just two eyeballs as black as ink, exuding fear. The divine light of man!
"Fake corpse?" Ning Tao snorted coldly, and his spiritual thoughts drove him
Use the force of creation to lock the grain of death sand and pull it out alive from the male master's mind.
The pulled out sand of death carries its energy roots, and the slightly engraved runes sparkle with divine golden light. It was imprisoned in the void by Ning Tao's power of creation, and it kept struggling, trying to return to its host's body.
Ning Tao's spiritual thoughts moved, and another trace of the power of creation flew out and plunged into the cracks in the Sand of Death.
A strange scene emerged in Ning Tao's mind.
The soul of the male protagonist is imprisoned in the sand of death, and he is merged with the runes slightly engraved on the sand of death. He struggled, but he couldn't get rid of the runes trying to refine him. The inner space of the Sand of Death is filled with his resentment and hatred, as well as the energy of death.
The body of the male protagonist is like nutritious soil, growing from birth to death, constantly providing death energy to the sand of death. The soul of the male master is the nutritious soil of the mysterious runes slightly carved on the sand of death. The runes swallow the soul of the male master, light themselves up, and then evolve into runes with souls!
Ning Tao suddenly remembered what he saw in the brain tissue of the two rock gods. The souls of many gods were imprisoned in the brain tissue like golden soup, and they were all refined into runes.
At that time, he couldn't figure out what was going on, but now he finally understood the origin of those runes!
The gods of the sacred mountain fell. The souls of the gods did not go to the Hall of Valor to drink and sing, but were refined into runes by the sand of death!
Of course, the sand of death that refines the souls of the gods will not be the ordinary death sand in front of him. It should be a higher-level sand of death, which is the golden soup-like substance he obtained from the heads of the two rock gods. !
After he obtained the two masses of golden soup-like matter from the heads of the two rock gods, those two masses had been bothering him and could not be decrypted. However, he did not expect that an ordinary corpse helped him decrypt it. The secret that haunts him!
Sometimes the truth is actually in an inconspicuous corner, cloaked in ordinary clothes.
The sand of death suspended in the void is still struggling, and the body of the male owner lying on the bed is also shaking, as if it will get up from the bed and bite someone at any time.
"I will save you." Ning Tao reached out his hand, pinched the grain of death sand with his thumb and index finger, and then squeezed it hard.
The sand of death broke and turned into a little powder, and the illuminated runes also disappeared. A ray of soul energy flew around Ning Tao and then disappeared.
Ning Tao's palm dropped a ball of divine fire, and the male host's body instantly turned to ashes and disappeared completely.
At this moment, the hostess lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, and her dark eyes released a captivating light. Ning Tao was a god, but she was not afraid at all. The next second she opened her eyes, she stretched out her hands to pinch Ning Tao's neck.
Ning Tao slapped her down, the divine fire burned, and the hostess's body turned into a ball of ashes.
He opened his mouth and blew, and a grain of death sand was revealed. The energy roots were squirming, seeming to be looking for the host's body.
He pressed down with one finger.
This grain of death's sand was also crushed.
He exited the couple's house and walked towards the city lord's palace in the wind and snow.
There was no light in the city lord's mansion, and it was shrouded in darkness like a ghost castle.
