Chen Xiaoxu's magic is to use the ground fire to absorb all the nearby air. During the burning process, the evil energy will be left behind. Once the evil energy is gathered and the concentration increases, it will naturally be smelled.
The rest of the people also went up to smell it, they were really angry, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.
"We didn't smell it, how did you smell it?" Hu Jie was very puzzled.
"I didn't smell it, I saw it."
"See?" Hu Jie was even more shocked.
Chen Xiaoxu didn't want to explain his talent. He looked around and said, "I can see strands of dead air coming out of the cracks in the rocks and soil, blown there by the wind, and converging in the In that ball. The dead air is not from people, but permeated into the soil and rocks. It is probably because too many people died here before. down to the tiniest particle of… "
Chen Xiaoxu gave his own conjectures, but not all guesses. There are cases like this. Even people like Ye Xiaomu have heard of related deeds: if too many people die in a place, the breath in the body will seep into the soil If it accumulates in the water, it will interact with other breaths around it after a long time. Although this situation is rare, it is said that it has happened in some places where there are too many dead people at once, such as war dead people, or disasters such as earthquakes and floods. .
(Sometimes people travel in the mountains and encounter a place that is particularly cold. In fact, it is deadly, which makes people very uncomfortable, because in the past, many mountains were full of random graves. In the past, there were many dead people, and many of them were thrown directly on the mountain and buried. And this happens everywhere)
Hu Jie took a deep breath and said, "If you want to say that, it really is... We have investigated before, this area is called Fenghuang Mountain. During the war, it was a bandit den. Later, it was attacked by the army. The bandits in the nearby ten miles and eight villages They were all forced to come here, and then they were all wiped out. There must be at least a few thousand people who died, because they were all bandits, and no one came to claim the bodies. The mountain roads are blocked, and the army treated them well. Maybe... there are a lot of dead people buried on the nearby mountains. Well, thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that there is a steady stream of death."
Everyone was silent for a while, Su Yan said: "Then the question is, what exactly is this red sphere, and why does it absorb death energy?"
"According to the members of the Dawuxian family, this area was calm before—although there are few people, but I haven't heard of anything wrong, but since a few months ago, the population of tens of hundreds of miles around this area began to mysteriously disappear. , the Great Witch Family came to investigate, and later encountered blood witches, and later they determined that the lair of blood wizards was probably in this area. As for the red sphere, it was discovered only recently. It must be the same as the blood wizard of witchcraft."
Yuan Xi looked at the mysterious ball of light hanging in the air from a distance, and murmured: "Is this the Xuansu Hydrangea?"
Of course, Hu Jie couldn’t be sure. He only said that it was rumored that Xuansu Hydrangea would appear in the northwest area. They were ordered to search for it, and they found this red light ball that appeared at night in this area. Hydrangea, they came here to find Xuansu Hydrangea. When they saw this thing, they would naturally think that it was very likely, but if it was true, no one knew.
"Let's say it's not Xuansu Hydrangea. Whether it's the location or the characteristics, it looks quite similar, and the time of appearance is also right. Let's say it is... Why is it related to the blood wizard? And if this is some kind of witch It seems that he has been practicing for more than a day or two." Yuan Xi mused.
"Could it be that the hydrangea just appeared here and was used by the blood witch?" Ye Xiaomu guessed, "After all, the Xuansu hydrangea is essentially a magic weapon."
Yuan Xi said: "You mean, these blood witches are cultivating hydrangea?"
This guess surprised everyone. Hu Jie frowned and said: "If this is the case, we have to stop them quickly, otherwise, if they are really made into magic weapons by these blood witch sacrifices, it will be terrible."
"Mr. Hu, thank you for your hard work. Go and tell Ye Chen and Qiu Feng what we have analyzed. We will meet at night and have a meeting to discuss it. You go down the mountain first, and we will go down right away."
Hu Jie immediately went down the mountain.
Apart from Zhang Yu and his wife, Cao Yunkai, Cao Siyu and Sun Yutong remained. Several of them are direct descendants of Bazi. When they were discussing on Yuan's Eve before, they had been listening nearby and did not participate.
Yuan Xi asked them to sit around her and said, "Why haven't you guys talked?"
Zhang Yu shrugged and said in an unhappy tone: "Don't you have a think tank? What do you want us to do?"
It turned out that he was angry with Ye Xiaomu and the others and didn't want to be with them.
Yuan Xi glared at Zhang Yu angrily and said: "I know you don't like them, and I don't have time to talk to you right now, but one thing, you are all my own people, and I don't have much help here. Why are you here, for the Xuansu hydrangea, you must help me get it, and the rest will be discussed later, how about it?"
Su Yan is a little strange, before they said they acted together, why now they are helping her? However, she was not interested in Xuansu Hydrangea, so she nodded, Ye Xiaomu and the others naturally had no objections.
Zhang Yu and the others also looked at each other, Ren Luo'an said: "That's what we came here for, but I don't think they can help."
"That's my business. Anyway, you just look for me, is there a problem?"
"No problem." Ren Luoan shrugged. Zhang Yu and the others also said that there is no problem.
So Su Yan arranged tasks for them, and asked them to find a few more people and investigate first. Although they can't go in the poisonous miasma, they can investigate the surrounding environment. Those blood wizards may not be able to live in the poisonous miasma. If you want to get Xuansu hydrangea, it's best to get them done first.
Before leaving, everyone stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the mysterious red light ball. Such an incredible scene just appeared in the real world, giving people such a shocking feeling.
This night, all the people who rushed here—whether they were the team members sent by the guild center or the mages who came to participate spontaneously—all saw this shocking scene from different places on the mountain. Many people intuitively believe that this thing is the legendary Xuansu hydrangea.
