The rapid speed of Red Flame Fire Dance is based on the large consumption of spiritual energy. In addition, the consumption of spiritual energy is even more serious as it has to carry three people. At the third watch, Wu Dongfang felt that the spiritual energy in his body could not make ends meet. He turned to look at Xin Tong, Xin Tong I understand and take over immediately.
"Go straight west, don't change direction." Wu Dongfang said to Xin Tong.
"Okay." Xin Tong nodded in agreement.
"Are you sure we are choosing the right path?" Fei Xuan asked. Even though they were hitchhiking, he and Xun Shuang also needed to maintain balance with their own spiritual energy. Although they were not tired, they could not close their eyes and fall asleep.
"Even if it's wrong, it's not a big deviation." Wu Dongfang said casually.
"How long will it take to get to the place?" Fei Xuan asked again.
Wu Dongfang thought for a while and then said, "Our speed is faster than that of Yuren. Based on the current speed, we should be able to get there at noon tomorrow."
Fei Xuan didn't ask any more questions. He took out two porcelain bottles from his arms and handed them to Wu Dongfang. There were two patterns on the porcelain bottles: water and fire. It was obvious that they were Qi-tonifying elixirs tailor-made for Xin Tong and Xun Shuang.
Wu Dongfang handed one of the bottles to Xin Tong, "Come, let's change places. I have something to say to Xun Shuang."
Xin Tong took the porcelain vase and lowered his height. Wu Dongfang quickly moved to the right and occupied Xin Tong's position. Xin Tong rose diagonally to fill Wu Dongfang's position.
"I have something to ask you." Wu Dongfang handed the porcelain bottle to Xun Shuang.
Xun Shuang reached out to take it and glanced at Wu Dongfang in confusion, "What?"
"Has your Shui Tribe ever had a spell that could communicate with the gods of Huanfa Heaven and Earth?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The spell you mentioned is called Looking at the Sky and Asking Ancestors. It is indeed a spell from the Shui Tribe, but this spell has been lost long ago." Xun Shuang put the porcelain bottle into his arms.
"Why was it lost?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Peeping Heaven Wenzu can only be used by heavenly masters of Taixu level or above. If you use it once, your cultivation level will be reduced by one level. Because the price paid is too heavy, it is used only a few times. Over time, it is gradually forgotten. ." Xun Shuang said.
After Xun Shuang finished speaking, without waiting for Wu Dongfang to speak again, he continued, "I know why you want to ask this. When I go back and take a look, there are still some sound-transmitting bugs preserved in the Far North Cold Palace, but I don't know if they will say anything. Use this kind of magic."
"Okay." Wu Dongfang nodded happily. He didn't have much hope in the first place. It would be better if Xun Shuang could find it. It was God's will that he couldn't find it.
As soon as Wu Dongfang finished speaking, Xin Tong lowered his flying altitude again. Fei Xuan smiled when he saw this, Xun Shuang also curled his lips and laughed. Wu Dongfang had no choice but to return to his original position.
After Xin Tong returned to his position, he may also feel that what he did before was too superficial, and his face turned red. Because she was still young, the three of them were very tolerant of her and deliberately gossiped to prevent her from being too embarrassed.
Both were Taixuan cultivators, but their depths of cultivation were also different. Within three hours, Xin Tong couldn't withstand it anymore. Wu Dongfang saw that the flames were showing signs of shrinking, so he took the initiative to replace her.
At dawn, the four of them flew across a very wide river. Fei Xuan lowered his head and looked down, "After driving so far, there is still a deep mountain wilderness below with no human habitation. Are you sure we didn't go the wrong way?"
"I haven't been here either, how can I be sure?" Wu Dongfang shook his head, "But I feel it shouldn't be wrong. We are in the far east, ancient India is in our southwest, and the country under siege is located directly in front of us. West, if ancient India sent troops, they would not take this road. Only by rushing to the border of the Yuren can we see people."
"The journey is too long. A slight deviation can make a mistake a thousand miles." Fei Xuan said.
"Don't worry, you can't be wrong." Wu Dongfang waved his hand helplessly. He had already experienced Fei Xuan's long-windedness. When they first met, he dragged him to chat all night long. No, to be precise, he chatted with the prince all night long. He stayed with her all night.
Before midnight, a village appeared below. Wu Dongfang lowered his flying height, and the four people hung in the air above the village. The village was small, with less than a hundred houses, mostly adobe houses with thatched roofs. There was no one in the village, and it was a deserted place. Dead silence.
"Brother Wu, have the villagers avoided it?" Xin Tong asked.
"Yes, there are no livestock, and the doors are closed. They must have moved away voluntarily." Wu Dongfang said. It is very common for people to clear the country during war. People close to the border will move inward to avoid war and reduce casualties.
"The direction is correct." Xun Shuang said from the side.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "Let's go, continue heading west."
Xin Tong took over from Wu Dongfang again, used the red fire dance, and flew west quickly.
"Their houses are very simple, they must have just escaped from barbarism." Fei Xuan said, the Mu tribe is best at civil construction, and he can tell at a glance whether the houses are reasonably built.
"No, no, no," Wu Dongfang waved his hands repeatedly, "We can't give a general overview. This is a marginal area, and the architecture is not representative. As far as I know, when the four ancient kingdoms coexisted, our Xia Dynasty's civilization was not the most developed. The other three countries have surpassed us in many fields. The prince and I have been to ancient India before, and the metallurgical level there is higher than ours, and the writing is also more mature than ours."
After hearing this, Fei Xuan smiled and did not comment.
Wu Dongfang didn't explain much when he saw this. Some things are passed down from generation to generation in the bones. The Chinese people in the feudal period always looked down on foreigners. It wasn't until they were beaten up by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces that they realized that they were not the most powerful. A beating is also beneficial, as it can make the Chinese people understand the gap and become brave after knowing their shame. 但挨那揍也有很严重的后遗症，自那之后，很多人都生出了崇洋媚外之心，外国人放个屁都是香的，很多女人不择手段的想嫁外国人，很多有钱人放着好好His little life was nothing but, he left his hometown and became a slave in a foreign country.
Then villages began to appear in large numbers, and the scale of the villages became larger and larger, and the buildings and living facilities became more and more perfect. Fei Xuan gradually put away his contempt and began to objectively examine this civilization that was very strange to him. After going through When we were in a larger village, we even wanted to stop and study the drainage system here.
Before noon, the four of them passed through seven or eight villages. Without exception, these villages were uninhabited. However, through observation of these villages, it was not difficult to find that they were all abandoned not long ago. The shortest one was no more than three years old. sky.
After traveling a few hundred miles, the four of them discovered the main road, which winds to the northwest. The width of this main road was originally about three feet, but now it is more than ten feet wide. There are serious trampled marks on both sides of the road. , many big trees were uprooted and thrown into the jungle on both sides. There are obvious ruts on the road, and judging from the depth of the ruts, it can be judged that the vehicle to which the wheels belong is very large and heavy.
In addition, there are a lot of feces on the road. These feces are large and small. The small ones are obviously human. It is not clear what animals the large piles of feces belong to, but it is certain that their shapes are very terrifying. The feces are half full. It's as big as a house.
Xun Shuang extended his spiritual energy and dispersed a pile of excrement. He lowered his head and looked at it, "It is mainly grass powder, mixed with human bones. This thing not only eats grass, but also eats people."
"Why are you so dirty?" Fei Xuan frowned and looked around. He was not talking about Xun Shuang, but the soldiers defecating everywhere on the road.
"Their descendants don't care about hygiene either." Wu Dongfang said casually. By observing the feces, it can be judged that a large group of people passed by here before, and the time can be roughly determined to be yesterday morning.
"Brother Wu, why is it so hot here?" Xin Tong wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
"It's not too hot now. If it were summer, we would definitely not be able to bear it." Wu Dongfang said that the temperature in ancient Babylon in today's Iraq was higher than that in the Xia Dynasty.
"We may be late, the war should have already started." Xun Shuang walked over.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "Let's go, follow this road."
The four of them set off on the road again, traveling a hundred miles north and over a high mountain. A wide flat area appeared in front of them. To the north of the flat area was a large city with a radius of more than thirty miles, which was close to the Jin Tribe's headquarters. are about the same size.
There were originally tall stone walls and a moat more than ten meters wide outside the city. However, at this time, many of the city walls collapsed and the moat was blocked and filled up. The buildings in the city were seriously damaged and smoke was emitted in many places. Due to the late stage of burning, , the smoke is not very big.
Although most of the buildings in the city have been damaged, you can still see that the buildings are majestic and exquisite. Due to the great differences between Eastern and Western cultures, the styles of the buildings are also different. The buildings in the city are full of exotic charm. .
The war was over at this time, and it seemed very quiet inside and outside the city, but this quietness exuded an aura of death. Corpses were everywhere outside the city. A large number of men and women wearing light yellow clothes came out of the city under the supervision and coercion of soldiers holding weapons. Dig a hole.
"They haven't left yet, they are in the city." Fei Xuan said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. He could sense that there were many alien auras in the city. Two of them had similar cultivation levels to them. Judging from the auras, they should be some kind of snake-like animals transformed into humans.
"The monster and the elephant must be blood relatives." Xin Tong pointed to the corpses of monsters lying outside the city wall. Those corpses were somewhat similar to elephants, with long trunks, but they were much larger than elephants. Five to six times the size of ordinary elephants, but they have no tusks and have hard bone plates on their faces, which are somewhat similar to rhinos.
"It was they who destroyed the city wall." Wu Dongfang spoke while looking at the corpses outside the city. Those who attacked the city should be the army of ancient India. The ancient Indians looked similar to the current Indians, with dark skin and uneven military appearance. , wearing big pants, shirtless, and painted with dyes of various colors, mostly in the image of ferocious beasts.
The corpses outside the city were mainly those of the attackers. In addition to soldiers, there were also some unknown beasts. Since the defenders may have used fuel such as petroleum to prevent foreign enemies from attacking, most of these beasts were burned. It is not clear who they were. What kind? Judging from the shape, it should be a relatively aggressive dog or wolf.
"They want to bury the people in the city alive." Fei Xuan raised his hand and pointed forward.
Wu Dongfang nodded again. There were not many soldiers outside the city. They were only a few hundred people. They were divided into teams of fifty. Each of them forced a group of common people to dig pits. There were quite a few common people. There were nearly a thousand people in each place. The total number must have exceeded 10,000. .
"There are no traces of fighting here." Xun Shuang said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dongfang turned to look at Xun Shuang. What Xun Shuang said was exactly what he had focused on observing before. He wanted to find traces of the fighting in this battlefield so as to evaluate the strength of both sides and the power of the spells. There is only one possibility that there are no traces of fighting in the field, and that is that the wizards guarding the city failed to arrive in time. It is not clear exactly what those who can do magic are called, but they are called wizards.
"Let's go down and save people." Fei Xuan said.
Wu Dongfang shook his head, turned around, found a piece of bluestone from the top of the mountain and sat down, "Don't worry, let's take a look..."
