Chapter 733: Hidden Secrets in the Desert
Mobei Mansion, Anfu, Study.
Three candlesticks illuminate the entire study, and there is a smell of burnt paste wafting in the room because there has been no air circulation for a long time.
Lord An lay on the desk, looking at a painting in front of him inch by inch.
It was a peculiar painting, it didn't look like paper, but it looked like it was made of metal, it was obviously a painting spread out on the table, and the scenery painted in it seemed to be three-dimensional, and every point looked real, and when you looked at it from different angles, you could still see different scenes.
It was a city, a city with countless high-rise buildings, like a forest of steel, where the master buildings could be thousands of feet high, and humans could accomplish anything, meet any need, without having to do anything, and it was like paradise.
Even though the city is empty, it is still running spontaneously, everything is in order, and it seems that it will never be destroyed with the passage of time.
And this qiē is so vividly presented in front of you.
It seems that this is not a painting, but a window overlooking the world.
Lord An gently stroked the painting, and couldn't help but recall his wife, the prosperous but lonely world that his wife had said.
"If one day, we have children and we are disgusted with mundane things, we will go back to that city and live there......" The promise of the past seems to be still in our ears, but our wife has long since passed away.
His wife's health has always been bad, and after giving birth to An Gongzi, she left the West.
An Daren poured a hundred points of love into An Gongzi, but this kind of love is not fully understood.
"Child, if you were still alive, how nice it would be......" Lord An couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of the emotion, all kinds of things in the past and today, if this qiē can be reversed, it can return to the original era when there were no troubles and no strife......
Even living in that lonely city is an indescribable happiness.
It's a pity that I can't go back.
In this world, there is no one who can open this city for a long time...... It's long gone that no one can go back there.
Just when Lord An was immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly heard an exclamation from outside, and someone rushed over, shouting as he ran: "My lord, it's not good!
"What's going on?" Lord An only felt a chuckle in his heart, but despite this, he still forced himself to calm down and said, "What does it look like to be so flustered?"
"My lord, it's not good, childe...... Childe has been taken captive!"
Lord An only felt that his head was buzzing, but after many years of being an official, he had already exercised his mind like iron, he calmed down and said, "What the hell is going on?"
......
Zi Baifeng lay in the carriage, listening to the sound of flapping wings outside the window.
Through the gap in the fluttering curtains, he could see a pair of huge wings fluttering outside, and there was no doubt that it should be a youkai who had been birds.
Although Zi Baifeng couldn't see outside, he knew that he was flying deep into the desert.
Zi Baifeng sank his mind into the demon canon, quietly issued many orders, and then waited quietly.
Is this ambush to deal with himself, or to deal with An Gongzi?
If it is against themselves, if they really know their identity, they will definitely not use this simple way.
So, is it to kidnap Gongzi An?
It seems that Gongzi An is really the last bloodline.
However, they would never have imagined that Zi Baifeng, the guy who had caused the disaster of the pond fish, was a fierce beast hiding in the shadows, and was eyeing all the prey.
......
Xue Congshan and the others shrank outside Saichuan Prefecture.
In the desert, there are countless oases of all sizes, and in addition to the three largest oases, there are countless small oases, and Saichuan Prefecture is one of them.
If it weren't for tracking the traces of the person who poisoned him, he would never have thought that this small oasis, only a few acres in size, would be a base for the people of the Demon Kingdom in the desert.
"It's coming!" Xue Congshan suddenly raised his head, there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, they looked up, and saw a huge vulture grabbing a carriage and flying over, and a horse was hanging underneath, the reins were strangled around the neck, swaying, and it had already been out of breath for a long time.
Xue Congshan and the others all lowered their bodies, and the gravel around them automatically covered them, covering them in the sand, leaving only two eyes exposed.
Exploring the Hidden Sect, taking nature as a teacher, and taking nature as a friend, and integrating with the surrounding environment, is the most common method.
"Do you want to make a move?" asked a disciple of the Exploration Sect.
"Do you still need us?" Xue Congshan said, "Those guys from the Ranger Sect can't wait for a long time, the lord said to wait first, he wants to see if these people can open the Treasure Country." ”
"In this small oasis, there aren't even three or two kittens, how can they be here......" The person who explored the Secret Sect suddenly closed his mouth.
Two-thirds of the small oasis is a lake, and the lake filled with water that suddenly appeared in the desert is like an emerald inlaid with gold, which is particularly beautiful from a distance, but it also makes people admire the miracle of the Creator.
At this time, the lake rippled, the surrounding sand and gravel slowly receded, and the lake was gradually sinking.
The lake is the mouth, the trees around the lake are its tentacles, and the stones in the lake are its sharp teeth.
Disguised as an oasis, this sandworm lures its prey in the desert and then devours it, which is how it survives.
At this moment, the sandworm receded, and a huge hole was formed in the ground, and the vulture's wings were folded, and it pierced into the hole like a sharp arrow.
No sooner had they entered, and the sandworm moved back and filled the oasis.
"It's underground!" Xue Congshan was dumbfounded, "We are not good at drilling into the ground, send the news back quickly!"
"Don't worry. Xue Congshan was a little confused, but someone was very calm.
"Thin legs, do you have a way?" Xue Congshan was surprised.
"That's right, dogs are the best at making holes......" Someone next to him was straightforward, and then was slapped by Xue Congshan and fell to the ground.
"Hehe, don't mind......" Xue Congshan said cautiously.
"It's fine, but I'm not talking about me. Thin legs are very indifferent, she was originally a dog demon, and a long time ago, she had learned to accept her identity, "I just said, this is Mobei Prefecture, close to Linsha Prefecture." ”
"So?"
"So, in the underground here, there should be Uncle Danmu's root system. "Thin legs.
"Yes, there should be. "The root system of the Danmu Divine Tree is extremely developed, spreading for tens of thousands of miles, and it is also within the range here, but the root system here is not necessarily too dense.
"It's just ......," Thinleg frowned.
"It's just what? If you have something to say...... Xue Congshan was speechless, what are you selling."
"No, it's just a little doubtful, the demon world is hiding underground, is the country of treasures underground?"
"This speculation is very plausible. Xue Congshan stretched out his hand to his eyebrows, concentrated, borrowed the demon codex, and began to report the news.
With the Demon Codex, communication between the people has become much easier. Of course, not all of them have the Demon Sect, but there are also people from the Post Road Sect who pass on the news, so now the news of everyone under Zi Baifeng's command is extremely smooth.
......
About 100 meters down from the place where Xue Congshan and the others were, there are thick passages, which are the nests dug by sandworms underground, extending in all directions, which can be called an underground world.
Twenty miles or so down, there was a thick root system, which was the root system of the Danmu Sacred Tree.
Then you don't know how many miles down, and you can see that in the deepest part of the earth, there are leylines all over it.
Going deeper into the leyline, you can see that in the leyline, there is a big yellow mouse wearing a yellow helmet, walking back and forth in the leyline.
Each of the big rats rode on the body of a demon, some big and small, and some of them were about to approach the size of the demon general.
But these demons are bound to a shiny rope that holds them like reins and tames them.
These demons are forced to cleanse the leylines of filth and transport them to the underground of the city, where they are dissolved by the city's strong spirituality.
Among these big rats, there is also a man with a short stature, he has a pair of clever eyes, and his mouth is pointed, which looks like a mouse, especially the three or five whiskers on the side of his mouth, which looks like a mouse.
This person is Li Li.
And these big rats around are all raccoon dogs, they are the best at digging holes, and they also like to work in a small underground, so they automatically take on the work of cleaning up the leylines, and now almost all of their groups have migrated to the leylines and become a group of the best scavengers.
As the leader of the Tanuki clan, Li Li is responsible for directing and handling emergencies here.
The raccoon people are tireless and very efficient.
Li Li suddenly pricked up his ears and made a gesture of listening, then he nodded, whispered something, raised his voice and said, "Brothers, there is work to do, we are going to find the country of treasures!"
"What is the Land of Treasures??Is it delicious??
"Treasure, Treasure, Treasure, Raccoon Power!"
"My favorite treasure hunt, Tanuki!"
Hearing Li Li's voice, the big rats wearing yellow hard hats all squeaked, and their excitement was inexplicable.
"It's not a treasure hunt, it's a treasure country...... Li Li wanted to explain, but thinking of his own temperament, he still gave up this plan, so let them treat it as a treasure hunt.
"Find the treasure, the raccoon will eat it!" A large group of big rats shouted desperately, burrowed into the light door opened by Li Li, and disappeared.
After a while, Xue Congshan's side suddenly opened a door of light, and the pillar walked out of it.
"Is this it......? Ale, me!" The pillar hurriedly jumped forward, letting go of the light door, and jumped away from the swarm of large rats in yellow hard hats.
The big rats crawled out and immediately shouted: "Tanuki power! treasure! Tanuki power!"
After being noisy for a while, Xue Congshan hurriedly said: "Quiet, all quiet!"
"Squeak!" Li Li gave two rat-like commands to silence the raccoon forces.
"I hate rats the most...... pillar slowly retreated, trying to stay away from these big rats, but he didn't expect his feet to be soft and stepped on something, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry......"
As soon as he turned his head, he found a big yellow dog, lying behind him, quietly watching him.
The big dog, with a wet nose, a thin waist and long legs, and a pair of big black eyes, seemed to be able to suck a qiē into it.
"Fine ...... Thin legs ......" The pillar only felt a bang in his head, although he had been mentally prepared and had made plans for a long time, but the moment he saw thin legs, it was still difficult for him to calm down.
After he panicked, he looked up again, and where was there still a big dog? A woman with a long face in yellow sat there quietly, just looking at him silently, not speaking.
After looking at him for a moment, Thin Legs turned his head and looked in the direction of the oasis.
It seems that he has long been used to it, and when he is with the pillar, the thin legs never speak.
At this moment, Zhuzi thought a lot, thought of the forced marriage at home, thought of the rabbit's persistence, thought of the so-called transformation technique, and thought of all kinds of obstacles in his heart.
For a moment, he was stunned.
"Alright, everyone be quiet, listen to me, now everyone go to the hole and find out the whereabouts of the adults. Li Li gathered dozens of big yellow rats together and whispered a lecture.
"My lord, which one's grown?
"Tanuki, of course it's a delicious adult!"
"Nonsense, it's a good adult, a good adult I like!
"That's right, it's not delicious, it's not fun, it's good adults. Li Lidao, these of his kinders can't get rid of their nature, even if they are already little demons, their personalities are still so peculiar, Li Li can only take advantage of the trend.
And the "good adult" is Zi Baifeng.
"Tanuki likes good adults, Tanuki wants to find good adults!"
"Tanuki!"
The rats began to waving their paws into the ground, and kept complaining, "Bah, sand!
"Death to the sand, death to the sand!"
There is also a clever raccoon force that released the evil demon that he controlled, let the demon drill the hole, and sit on the demon by himself, which is not easy.
In a short time, there were dozens more holes in the ground, and all the raccoon power was gone.
"These little companions of mine are still very good at finding people, and they will be able to find adults soon. ”
"Well, my lord is not in danger yet. Xue Congshan stretched out his hand in the center of his eyebrows, contacted Zi Baifeng, and said.
......
Zi Baifeng did not encounter danger.
When they were caught underground, they were left alone.
Zi Baifeng opened his spiritual vision, and saw that they were now in an underground cave, which looked like a hole drilled by a sandworm, and there were two monsters guarding the carriage next to them, a sand snake and a sand lizard, both of which were originally monsters in the desert.
These two monsters are both fourth- and fifth-level monsters, and they are underground, which makes Zibai can't help but think of the underground demon country.
The underground demon country is part of the demon tower, and the seven-story demon tower is scattered all over the earth, could it be that this is also an underground demon country?
Maybe this is indeed the case, and the creation of this desert should also be inextricably linked to the underground demon country.
And this underground demon country is obviously controlled by the demon world, which is not surprising, although in different worlds, but after all, monsters have something in common.
These two monsters have a faint green aura on their bodies, which is unique to the demon world, which is different from the monsters under Zi Baifeng's command, but it is not particularly heavy.
It shouldn't be too long since these two monsters were under the command of the demon world.
Zi Baifeng estimated that his demon cultivation technique might be able to expel the demon qi, and if I could, I could let these monsters get out of the demon country......
"Are they awake?" Suddenly there was a humane, Zi Baifeng subconsciously shrank his head and pretended to be asleep, but he quietly opened the field, and included all the qiē around him into the sense.
A youkai with a green demonic aura all over his body walked over, and it could be seen that it was the vulture that had just caught Zi Baifeng.
"Ninth Master, the two of them are sleeping well. The sand snake demon hissed and stuck out his tongue twice, and said, "These two humans with thin skin and tender flesh have been captured for us to eat?"
"Phew, you also deserve to eat this kind of high-quality goods?" The vulture demon known as the Ninth Master spat on the head of the sand snake demon in one bite, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu ate you?"
"Unworthy, unworthy......"
The two little demons only dared to laugh, and they didn't dare to show an unhappy look at all.
"We haven't eaten anyone yet...... I don't know what it tastes like......" said the sand lizard demon.
Zi Baifeng said in his heart, fortunately, you haven't eaten anyone, otherwise, you might have to get rid of you all in a while.
And that vulture demon is obviously from the demon world, and I don't know how much human flesh and blood it has been contaminated.
In Zi Baifeng's heart, humans and monsters should be equal, humans can't eat monsters, monsters can't eat humans, and no one can cross this boundary.
"Forget it, for the sake of the two of you, when the matter is completed, these two people will be rewarded to you, they are good goods, even I have never eaten this kind of high-quality goods. The vulture snorted coldly, "Lord Candle Dragon is preparing potions, and when Lord Candle Dragon is ready, you will bring people over." ”
"Ninth Master, which one to bring?" said the sand snake demon as he licked his face.
"Of course it's the one that smells good. The Ninth Master turned around and left.
"The one that smells delicious? Which one is that?" waited until the ninth master walked away, and the sand snake demon asked the sand lizard demon beside him.
"I don't know, both of them look delicious......"
"No, let's go and see first, lest we don't know which one is ......delicious," said the sand snake demon, and walked over to the carriage.
The two monsters poked their heads out of the window, looked at An Gongzi and Zi Baifeng lying inside, twitched their noses a few times, and said, "It smells, but the one on the left is more delicious." ”
Zi Baifeng nodded, and said in his heart, no matter how you look at Lao Tzu, he is the one who is delicious.
"I think the one on the right is delicious......"
"It's delicious, your sister, get out!" Zi Baifeng roared in his heart.
