Chapter 201 A line of footprints
Everywhere was a desolate scene, without the silvery white of the snowfield, replaced by dry cracked land and withered vegetation.
Just a wall.
A world of difference!
The wind and snow and extreme cold in the sky were abruptly cut off.
"We...are we really out?" Luo Hua stared blankly at the wall behind him, as if he couldn't believe that they really crossed the seemingly insurmountable boundary.
In front of them was an unknown world. Strictly speaking, this place no longer belonged to Southern Xinjiang.
But in their cognition, Southern Xinjiang was the whole world, and what they saw now gave them a strong sense of separation.
"Here...the truth of the world?" Qin Xiaosui's voice trembled a little. Obviously, everything in front of her was beyond her imagination.
She grabbed Jiang Qing's arm.
I don't know why I feel so insecure here. Only this way can I feel better.
Jiang Qing didn't answer. His eyes were calm, but his heart was fluctuating violently.
If we talk about the degree of stubbornness, Jiang Qing is confident that unless the other party is a mental patient and does not have enough cognition, he can be more stubborn than him.
But there is an exception, Qin Xiaosui.
This guy, no matter what happens, wants to go forward and punch the other person.
Unless he is in danger, he will be anxious at that time. As for what happens to this guy himself, well, that's not a big deal!
But now.
Even Qin Xiaosui is scared.
"Should we go back the same way..." Jiang Qing was a little unsure.
"Junior brother Jiang, come quickly, what do you see here?"
Shen Chengxian's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Countless bones were scattered on the ground. Some of these bones were already rotten, while others were still intact, and even some broken weapons and armor could be seen.
"This is..." Shen Chengxian's voice was a little shocked, "This is an ancient battlefield!"
"Fuck ancient battlefield, this is obviously the remains left by the predecessors who explored the 'unknown'.
They were all killed."
Luo Hua corrected seriously.
Jiang Qing also agreed with this statement, nodded and said: "Be careful, it seems that we can't go deeper, something might happen.
Let's explore nearby."
"Yes."
They carefully explored this ancient battlefield, trying to find some clues.
And at this time, they found a stone tablet with some ancient characters engraved on it. Although they were a little blurry, they could still recognize some of them.
There is no time to figure out the meaning of the inscription here, but because its deconstruction is too complicated, it will not be remembered for a while.
"Everyone remember part of it!"
"Okay, I'll start from the lower left corner." Shen Chengxian said.
"Then I'll remember the right side."
"..."
After spending some time, Jiang Qing also remembered the words on the top of the tablet.
"Let's go, let's take a look at other places." Jiang Qing took the lead and flew forward, and the others hurriedly followed.
They left the stone tablet and continued to fly forward. Soon, they came to a vast desert, where the sand was a strange dark red, as if every grain of sand was stained with blood from ancient times to the present.
"This desert..." Shen Chengxian frowned, "gives me a bad feeling."
"Me too." Luo Hua clenched his weapon, "Everyone be careful, I feel something is hidden here."
They slowed down and crossed the desert carefully. Suddenly, a sandstorm swept in from a distance, so fast that it caught people off guard.
What's even more weird is that this sandstorm seems to have intelligence. Can this thing be a living thing?
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Qing shouted and took the lead to dive under the desert to find shelter. Others followed closely and hid behind the sand dunes.
Fortunately, the sandstorm swept past and was not aimed at them. Jiang Qing and others slowly stood up from the sand and just shook off the blood sand on their bodies.
At this moment, there was another strange noise under their feet.
"Be careful, there is something below!"
Jiang Qing looked around vigilantly, but found that the ground in the desert began to loosen, as if something was drilling out from the ground.
Suddenly, a huge desert beast popped out from under the sand, its eyes like burning charcoal, staring at them intently, and then more desert scorpions emerged from the sand, they surrounded everyone, showing their sharp fangs and roaring.
"Get into the air!"
Jiang Qing immediately determined that these scorpions should not be able to fly.
But if they were on the sand, they would probably die, because the breath of these scorpions, each of them has reached the level of transformation! !
What is this concept?
In the entire southern Xinjiang land, there are many sects, among which the five major immortal sects are the leaders.
And their Ziyun Sect is divided into nine peaks, and the strength of the peak master is also the transformation of the spirit.
His ninth peak is quite special, with an additional Li Changsheng, who has also broken through to the transformation of the spirit. In fact, in other veins, only the peak master has this cultivation.
In other words, there are ten people in the transformation of the spirit in a sect, taking the Ziyun Sect as an example, which is already a lot!
Looking at the five major immortal sects, there are only about half a hundred of them. If you add the dynasty families and the nine classes of independent cultivators, there are only a few hundred people in the entire continent.
But what about these scorpions?
Each of them is a god, as if they are free. At this moment, Jiang Qing and others are flying at a very high altitude, but even so, they can clearly see the dark mass on the ground.
I'm afraid there are hundreds of them.
Hundreds of giant scorpions at the level of gods...
This force, not to mention breaking into Southern Xinjiang, even if it spreads out, it can scare people to death.
Of course, whether you believe it or not is another matter.
The desert behind the boundary wall was terrifyingly vast. In the sky, Jiang Qing and others soared over the blood-colored sand sea, and a desolate and mysterious land stretched under their feet.
The dim sunlight slanted across the undulating surface of the dunes, casting their fast-moving silhouettes.
In this quiet and vast space, little golden lights loomed above the sea of sand, like lonely stars in the night sky, attracting attention.
A strong curiosity drove them to go down and observe those golden places up close, but their intuition told them that this unknown land might hide countless dangers.
So, they decided to keep a safe distance and looked around the golden spots in the air, trying to find clues from high places.
As they circled the area, gradually, details began to emerge.
Those dots of golden light were actually a line of footprints deeply imprinted in the sand. Each footprint was evenly spaced, as if it were the firm and powerful steps of a certain walker.
Although the years are ruthless and the wind and sand are raging, these footprints are still clearly identifiable, and there seems to be some mysterious power that has preserved them to this day.
"These footprints look very old. I don't know who left them." Shen Chengxian's voice was full of curiosity and surprise.
"Yes, he must be an extraordinary person to leave such profound footprints in the desert." Luo Hua couldn't help but sigh.
"Not only that, these footprints seem to be surrounded by a strange power, which protects them from wind and sand erosion." Qin Xiaosui's eyes flashed with a glimmer of inquiry.
Jiang Qing was silent for a moment, staring at the golden footprints with sharp eyes like a hawk, and an inexplicable sense of awe arose in his heart.
He knew that these footprints were unusual and that they might be a guide to an unknown secret.
"Why don't you... follow the footprints and take a look?" Jiang Qing asked, the curiosity in his heart burst out uncontrollably.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they knew that there might be unknown risks ahead, their desire to explore had overridden all concerns.
Like a devil, tempting them.
As a result, the group of people began to slowly lower their altitude, following the mysterious golden footprints and heading into the depths of the desert.
As they gradually approached, the light from the golden footprints became more and more dazzling, and the surrounding air seemed to vibrate.
Soon, they came to a place that seemed out of the ordinary - a huge stone monument stood quietly in the sand, with golden words engraved on it, echoing the previous footprints.
"Here..." Shen Chengxian's voice trembled, obviously shocked by the scene in front of him.
In this mysterious and dangerous blood-colored sand sea, there was actually this monument to the sky. The anxiety and curiosity in their hearts intertwined into an inexplicable sense of tension.
But the wind was still howling in my ears.
It's like the whisper of fate, foreshadowing the unknowable things to come.
"The content of this stone tablet is different from before." Jiang Qing reached out and touched the golden words on the stone tablet. "It should be written by the owner of the golden footprints. These handwritings are extremely old. They are some kind of ancient characters. I don't know how old they are. previous……"
However, just a few minutes after they stopped, a sudden sense of oppression instantly enveloped everyone's hearts, suffocating their breathing.
"Be alert!" Jiang Qing reacted very quickly.
His intuition told him that this was not any ordinary movement. As he yelled, he instantly pulled out Long Yuan from his hand.
The other companions also quickly entered a state of battle preparation, holding their weapons and magic weapons tightly in their hands, and spells condensed on their fingertips.
However, to everyone's expectation, the powerful pressure did not turn into an attack and descend on them. It was like an invisible storm, quickly passing by them and rushing directly towards the towering city wall behind them. .
Immediately afterwards, the loud noise of "Boom!" was deafening, and the force hit the city wall behind them, making a dull and powerful echo.
The wall on the border was shaking under the impact of this invisible force. The huge stones began to loosen and cracks spread, as if they would collapse at any time, burying the history of this land in dust.
"What's going on?" Shen Chengxian's voice was full of astonishment and disbelief. He stared at the trembling city wall behind him with wide eyes. His mind was in chaos and he couldn't understand the changes that happened in front of him.
"It's probably something serious!" Jiang Qing's expression became extremely serious and his brows were furrowed. "Quickly retreat, I'm afraid there will be huge changes in the border."
Without any hesitation, they accelerated and flew backwards again, but the impact was not over yet.
The section of city wall in front of them seemed to be cursed. It was once again hit by an invisible force. The violent vibrations made the entire city wall seem to be wailing, seeming to be telling the ancient and mysterious story of this land. past.
Jiang Qing's heart tightened.
Is something really going to happen?
What he was more worried about was that he had just used the Longyuan Sword to break through the boundary wall, and the terrifying attack started immediately.
What a coincidence?
Or is it because of myself...
"Quick, we must return to the boundary!" Jiang Qing shouted anxiously, leading everyone to fly quickly towards the boundary wall that was bombarded by crazy power.
Along the way, the desert behind them seemed to be in turmoil, with sandstorms rising, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring up the sea of sand. That invisible force seemed to be everywhere, leaving people nowhere to escape.
"What kind of power is this?!" Luo Hua shouted in horror, his voice almost drowned by the violent wind.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not something we can resist!" Shen Chengxian's face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
Qin Xiaosui tightly grasped Jiang Qing's arm, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear: "Should we really not come here?"
"It's too late to say this now!" Jiang Qing gritted his teeth, he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to find a way to survive.
Finally, they came to the boundary wall, the huge stone tablet still stood there quietly, but the golden words on it began to flash, as if warning something.
"Look, those words..." Shen Chengxian exclaimed.
"There's no time, we have to hurry over!" Jiang Qing interrupted him, he knew that this boundary wall was their only hope.
They tried their best to rush towards the boundary wall. However, at this moment, the invisible force attacked again, more violently than before.
"Oh no, it's going to knock down the boundary wall!" Luo Hua shouted in horror.
As expected, in front of them, the solid boundary wall began to crack under the impact of this invisible force, as if it would collapse at any time.
"It's broken, where are the cracks that were cut out before?!" Jiang Qing shouted, but in this situation, he didn't dare to attack the boundary wall again.
Otherwise, if there are irreversible consequences, he will be a sinner for all ages.
...
"Old Gu, they are back!"
"Who is back?" The old man of Tianmen was stunned at first, and then reacted, "Oh, it's them...
Help me out."
"But your body..."
"It's okay."
On the boundary wall, the Tianmen Realm has become taller than ever before, and the unknown and mysterious power is still bombarding the boundary wall.
Although the boundary wall is crumbling, it has been supported, as if it has been supported for thousands of years.
The old man of Tianmen stood on the attic, squinting at the "air" coming from the front.
"Hmph."
"You dare to be so presumptuous, you are a withered bone from outside the domain!"
He looked at the young men who were constantly climbing up the wall outside the boundary. However, the height of the Tianmen boundary was only three feet away from the nine heavens, so it would take a long time to fly. He shouted: "Why, since you dared to chop for the first time, you dare not chop for the second time?
Hmph.
Go ahead, I can't take the initiative to open the gap for you to come in, but I don't care about this small gap."
