Chapter 217: Deserted West

Dozens of flying boats flew over Canglan City, this kind of sight was very spectacular, attracting the people living below to look up, but obviously the people living in Canglan City had long been accustomed to this situation, and they just glanced up, and then retracted their gaze and continued to do what they were doing.

The caravan quickly left Canglan City, and as soon as it came out of Canglan City, the scene immediately changed, only to see that the land below was pitch black, like a dry ridge, spreading and cracking.

There is not a single grass to be seen on the ground, only dead tree trunks, and the dry bones stand stubbornly on the ground, as if telling the people who see it about its former magnificence, and as if singing a lament of life.

As the flying boat got farther and farther away, Canglan City gradually disappeared from sight, the air became drier and drier, and the ground below changed again.

Golden sand streaks began to appear on the pitch-black earth, as if golden tentacles covered it, and the air seemed to be boiling water.

It didn't take long for a golden light to appear at the end of the line of sight ahead, and then it grew larger and larger.

Ji Liao leaned on the edge of the boat and looked closely, only to see a golden light curtain that spread across the entire heaven and earth, suddenly appearing between heaven and earth.

Ji Liao's eyes moved slightly, this kind of scene seemed familiar to him, giving him the feeling that two completely different interfaces in the Silent Annihilation Realm were patched together.

"Could it be that the Fanyun Continent is also a patchwork of several interfaces?"

Ji Liao suddenly had an idea in his heart, and muttered in his heart.

After traveling for more than ten miles, the heaven and earth shrouded in golden light were clearly visible.

I saw that in the golden light, a huge stone tablet with a length of several hundred zhang suddenly appeared, and the two sides of the stone tablet seemed to have been carefully polished and very smooth.

And on the smooth surface are carved two large characters like a dragon, "Wasteland." ”

"Two seniors, that stele is the boundary monument, and beyond the boundary monument, we will be in the region of the deserted west. At this time, Lu Yan stepped forward in a timely manner to introduce Ji Liao and Lu Zhu.

Ji Liao's eyes were always staring at the boundary monument and he didn't say a word.

Lu Zhu also stared at the stele without flashing, nodding secretly.

Lu Yan stood aside with interest, not saying much.

The caravan soon arrived near the boundary monument, and passed through it, in front of the tall stone monument, this caravan was like a worm passing by a giant pillar of optimus.

At the moment of passing through the stone monument, a touch of golden sunlight shrouded in, and in an instant, the entire caravan seemed to be covered in a golden veil, bathed in dazzling sunlight.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi changed suddenly, and a strong fire spiritual power immediately enveloped them.

Ji Liao's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced back at the huge stone stele, but saw that the two big characters "Shendong" were carved on this side of the stele.

At this time, their feet were almost covered with a layer of golden yellow

Covered in sand, it reflects the golden light against the background of the sun, so that the whole world is filled with golden light.

The heavens and the earth became hotter and the air drier, and the breeze blew through the yellow sand scattered on the ground, floating in the void with the rolling air.

The flying boat went farther and farther, the huge stone tablet had become blurred, the two big characters of Shendong had disappeared, and finally the whole stone tablet had disappeared from Ji Liao's sight.

"Two seniors, now we are in the realm of the Wild West. Lu Yan stepped forward and said at this time.

Ji Liao bowed slightly, and looked at the scenery in front of him without blinking.

An hour later, there was no trace of land on the ground, and what appeared in front of Ji Liao's eyes was an endless golden desert, with sand slopes and waves like layers one by one, and dense sand dunes standing in between.

"This place is very similar to our Chixia Peak, but it is a little less immortal. Lu Zhu looked at the scenery in front of him and sighed.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Lu cultivates the fire attribute exercises, and in this environment, he should be like a fish in water. Ji Liao stared at the scenery below and said.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Ji laughed, although the spiritual power of fire here is strong, it is only two years, if you and I want to improve our cultivation, this time is not enough to stuff our teeth. Lu Zhu smiled, glanced into the distance and spoke again, "At the speed of the flying boat, the distance of two million miles must take at least three months to reach Badian City." ”

Ji Liao nodded noncommittally.

Lu Zhu leaned his back against the edge of the boat, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, looked at Ji Liao's expression, and asked, "I found that you have changed a little recently, what do you think of Senior Sister Long?"

When Ji Liao heard this, he retracted his gaze and looked at Lu Zhu, his eyes flashed, and he thought for a long time before he said lightly, "I am thinking back to my experience of stepping into the immortal road over the years, as if everything is going smoothly, and as if everything is so bumpy, I seem to be pushed forward by a force, and I have not rested for a moment." ”

Lu Zhu's smile stiffened when he heard this, and then patted Ji Liao's shoulder, "The immortal road is long, how can there be a smooth road, all the experience is not important, the important thing is the result, now you are already a cultivator in the foundation building period, in the eyes of others, you are already a high-ranking existence, and this is enough." ”

Ji Liao chuckled, but he was thinking in his heart, "Is the foundation building period just high above? What is the innocence spirit of the God Refining Period and the Giant Tiger?"

Lu Zhu patted Ji Liao's shoulder again, "Don't think about it so much." ”

Ji Liao didn't say anything.

After watching it for a while, Lu Zhu felt bored, said something to Ji Liao, and went into the cabin to rest.

After a few hours, the scenery below suddenly changed, and a wide rift valley appeared under the flat sea of sand, and the cliffs on both sides of the rift were clearly visible, and the valley floor was already there

Filled with yellow sand, the scene resembles a golden river flowing slowly.

On the sandy ground on both sides of the rift, you can vaguely see the tiled roofs of buried houses, and one after another appears on the ground in a regular manner.

Ji Liao's face showed a hint of surprise.

Lu Yan has been following Ye Tong for many years, and he knows a lot about the places where the caravan passes, his eyes are very excited, he caught Ji Liao's fleeting look of surprise, and stepped forward to explain, "Senior, this was once a barren western city, and that rift valley also had a water source, but for some reason, more than ten years ago, this river valley suddenly dried up, and the people who lived in this city also moved out of here, and this city was abandoned and became what it is now. ”

"I see. Ji Liao replied lightly.

After a long time, night fell.

Although it was night, the temperature in this barren western area was still dry and hot, and there was no sign of any reduction.

The sky seemed to be washed clean and thorough, the moon hung high in the void, and the dense stars twinkled endlessly.

Ji Liao stood on the deck for a day, and it took a long time for him to put away his thoughts and walk towards the cabin.

After arriving at the cabin, Ji Liao went straight into the flying boat, sat down cross-legged in a small room that had been prepared for himself a long time ago, and closed his eyes to breathe.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the caravan's flying boat had been flying in the sky over the deserted west for almost half a month.

A few days ago, Ji Liao often went out to take a look at the scenery outside the sky, but the deeper he went into the wilderness, the more desolate the ground below became, and it had become an endless desert.

Ji Liao felt bored, so he simply closed the door and stayed at home.

"Eh, it looks like this trip is going well. At this time, on the deck of the flying boat at the front, Li Shuyuan walked over to Zhu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged at the front.

Zhu Yuan opened his eyes, glanced at Li Shenyuan, and then got up and stood up.

Li Shenyuan walked closer, and the old man smiled slightly, "It's time to change the guard." ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuan nodded, shook the sleeves of his robe and walked towards the cabin.

Li Shenyuan pursed his lips disdainfully, and secretly scolded Zhu Yuan in his heart for being too arrogant, but he didn't say anything, and sat down on the bow of the boat with a shake of the sleeves of his robe.

At this moment, the calm desert below suddenly changed.

I saw a fist-sized whirlpool suddenly appear on the golden desert, and the surrounding sand funneled like a funnel swirled and fell into it.

"Buzz.."

A buzzing insect chirp was heard in the whirlpool, and then an ant with two pairs of transparent wings flew out of the whirlpool.

The ant is the size of an egg, its whole body is pitch-black, and its two pairs of transparent wings flapped extremely quickly, making a bee-like buzzing sound.

After the ant flew out, another whirlpool appeared on the ground, and then another whirlpool appeared not far from it.

The next moment calm on the desert as on

The chain reaction is general, and there is one vortex after another.

One, a hundred, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million.

After just a few breaths, the whirlpool spread all over a radius of dozens of miles, dense and endless.

A scalp-numbing insect chirp came out in the whirlpool, and so many buzzing sounds were mixed together, spreading towards heaven and earth like a mountain and a tsunami.

Immediately after that, ants that were no different from the strange ants flew out of the whirlpool, and before they could react, these strange ants condensed into a black insect cloud covering a radius of dozens of miles in the void.

The black worm cloud writhed a few times, and suddenly wrapped up towards the caravan above.

Zhu Yuan stepped into the cabin for a moment, then turned around abruptly and walked back to the deck quickly.

Li Shuyuan, who had just sat down, also got up at this time, walked two steps to the side of the deck, narrowed his narrow eyes, and looked at the cloud of insects that were rapidly attacking below.

"Oh no, no, sand beast attack, there are sand beasts. At the same time, on the other more than 70 flying boats, some people also found the insect cloud and exclaimed loudly.

"Maintain formation and open the protective light curtain with all your might. ”

In an instant, the entire caravan was immediately enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and one after another exclamations were endless.

Li Shenyuan glanced at Zhu Yuan and smiled bitterly, "Eh, I thought I could rest for a while, but now I can't be idle." ”

Zhu Yuan glanced at Li Shenyuan lightly, and without saying much, the spiritual power in his body suddenly operated, and a dazzling black light burst out in his body, and then rushed towards the insect cloud below.

"Huh. Li Shenyuan sighed, raised his foot and stepped on the edge of the boat, and jumped directly with his hands.
