Chapter 192 Ghost Town
The cave built by Xu Dao's closed-door practice is several hundred miles away from Sheshan, which is not too far away. He escaped from the Wuxia River waterway before, and escaped for more than half an hour, and found a remote and safe place to stay.

Now leaving the location of the cave, he drove the flying sword and flew towards the direction of Sheshan. Because of his tyrannical energy and blood, he was within ten miles of Sheshan in just half an hour.

He stepped on the sword energy with Su Jiu in his arms, looked over from a high place, and suddenly frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

The huge Sheshan stands beside the Wuxia River, the river meanders like snakes and insects, it is just like a huge stone that suppresses the snakes and insects, but there is a gap, and most of the mountain is washed away from it, and it has a strange shape.

After a quick glance, the mountain is wide and the forest is lush, and it seems to be the same.

Although Xu Dao didn't figure out what was wrong for a while, he still controlled the flying sword, landed low on a hill, stopped, and didn't rush forward.

At this time, Su Jiu, the little fox girl in his arms, also looked at Sheshan, and suddenly let out a small gasp, saying, "Although the light is good at this time, it is already dusk, why is there not even a single smoke in the city?"

Hearing Su Jiu's words, Xu Dao suddenly came to his senses. He squinted his eyes at She Shan, and thought to himself:

"It shouldn't be. During the feast of the Dragon Palace, although the cultivators of the Shezhao tribe, and even the casual cultivators in the ghost city, were all trapped in, but only half of the ordinary people in the mountain city left the city and were fed mirage dragons. , there should be around one hundred thousand people left in the city.”

"Even if the Dragon Palace's formation was self-destructing before, but the formation is located underground, and there are many lakes as a barrier, it will definitely not hurt the people in the mountain city. Instead, there will be pure spiritual energy rising to nourish the people in the mountain city, but why? Right now, there is an empty mountain, as if there is no human habitation..."

Thinking carefully, Xu Dao sighed softly: "It would be great if the Ant King is still there."

He kept a small group of Nanke gnats in his house in the mountain city. In addition to guarding the house, he was also guarding the swordsman surnamed Sha, so that the other party would not think of running away.

If the ant king is still there, Xu Dao can call the ants who stay in the city from a distance, and simply know what is going on in the city from the ants' movements.

It's a pity that he had taken the blood and eaten the flesh of the Ant King, and stuffed it all into his own belly, and those Nanke Ant Kings who stayed in the mountain city should have died of their own accord and ceased to exist.

As for the generals and scale soldiers that Xu Dao is carrying with him now, because they all lack intelligence, it is difficult to leave Xu Dao for a mile, let alone inquire about the situation for him.

But after thinking about it, Xu Dao finally raised his sleeve to wipe his face, then shook his sleeve, and immediately threw out a general from it.

Chi Chi, three ferocious fang generals several feet long, and nearly a hundred scale soldiers the size of a baby's fist appeared, guarding his side, with a murderous aura.

Xu Dao's thoughts were spinning, and the three tooth generals each led a group of scale soldiers, shook their bodies, spread their wings, and patrolled hundreds of steps away.

Fortunately, he has already completed the triple kung fu of the "Three Corpse Sacrifice Technique", and he can split three small thoughts at once, otherwise he would not be able to control the three-headed general at the same time.

Although Yajiang Linbing couldn't go straight to the mountain city to check the situation, he could still walk around him to reduce the risk and beware of the enemy.

After all, Xu Dao's current consciousness can only spread about fifteen feet, that is, a distance of fifty steps. Beyond this distance, he still needs to see with his eyes and listen with his ears. Some.

After arranging everything, Xu Dao held Su Jiu in his arms, and prepared to go to Shezhao Mountain City to explore.Although he was vigilant, he didn't have too much worry.

You must know that his physical body is now in the foundation establishment state, as long as those Taoist priests of Shezhao don't set up an ambush in advance, he will not be in much danger.

As for Su Jiu in his arms, at worst, when the situation is not right, he will put the little fox girl into the 蚍书笼, and run away with her.This is a bit bitter for Su Jiu, but it is better for safety and convenience. Anyway, it is not the first time she has been taken in by 蚍书旗, so it doesn't matter if it happens a few more times.

In this way, the two of them controlled the sword energy and soared in the forest at low altitude to conceal their figures, but their speed was not slow, passing ten miles away in the blink of an eye.

When they came to the Wuxia River and saw the gate of Shezhao Mountain City in the distance under the setting sun, Xu Dao and Su Jiu looked at each other, and at the same time a thought popped into their minds: "Where is the Iron Chain Bridge?"

The wide iron chain bridge that originally spanned the Wuxia River and was the only way for people in the mountain city to leave the city has disappeared, and only wide bridge piles are left on the two banks facing each other.

"Could it be that when the Dragon Palace formation self-destructed, the chain bridge was also broken?" Xu Dao thought about it, but he also knew it in his heart.

Normally, more than a month has passed, even if the chain bridge is broken, the people in the city should find a way to repair a new bridge, just make do with it, and definitely not leave the river empty.

Before they entered Shezhao Mountain City, the two found that there were many strange things on Shezhao Mountain, and all the signs indicated that the city was empty.

Originally, Xu Dao wanted to disguise himself and sneak into the mountain city as an ordinary person, but now there is no way on the river, he has to cross the river or take off.

However, the current of the Wuxia River in this section is so fast that rafts and boats cannot be used to cross the river. Therefore, no matter what method is used to cross the river, it is not something ordinary people can do.

Xu Dao didn't bother to think about it or hide it. He pulled Su Jiu beside him, and said in his mouth: "Go! Be alert!"

After finishing speaking, he dispatched the advance soldiers, and asked two tooth generals to lead the scale soldiers to fly to the city, while the other stayed behind to guard the rear for the two.

Immediately, Xu Dao jumped out from the forest, leaped directly across the hundreds of feet wide river, and arrived at the foot of Mount Shishe.The first time he set foot on the foot of the mountain, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

It's just that he didn't say another word, but secretly circulated his mana to keep an eye on his surroundings.Su Jiu's whole body was also tense, and she followed Xu Dao's side step by step, constantly scanning the surroundings, vigilant.

The gate of the mountain city was opened, and the two of them skipped over the gate and found that the huge door handle had been covered with dust for a long time.When they walked into the city, their ears suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of the rushing river behind them almost disappeared.

Xu Dao looked around and saw that the mountain city, which was originally row upon row and overlapping, was empty everywhere. There was not a single person or living thing on the street, only the cold wind blowing through the alleys, and there was a chilling sound.

Su Jiu looked at it, and involuntarily tightened the Taoist robe on her body.

Xu Dao, on the other hand, stopped on the spot, raised his head and looked towards the top of Mount She. His eyelids opened and closed, his pupils stood up suddenly, and his eyesight suddenly increased.

"Huh!" Xu Dao let out a soft sigh, and said, "Not only is there no formation on the top of the mountain, but there is also no sign of spiritual energy!"

The top of Sheshan Mountain and the back mountain are the places where the Shezhao tribe practiced and lived. There are large mountain guards arranged all the time, which can detain spiritual energy, resist foreign enemies, and prevent others from peeping.

But now Xu Dao took a closer look, and clearly found that the scene on the top of the mountain was nakedly exposed to his eyes, without even a little spiritual fluctuation.

"Could it be that a few Shezhao Taoist priests took the rest of the tribe and moved away directly."

Guessing in his heart, although his aura is still restrained, he no longer hides his figure, and directly carries Su Jiu into the air, soaring above the mountain city, scanning the entire mountain city one by one.

While the sword qi neighed, Xu Dao wandered around, and found that the whole mountain city had really turned into a dead city. There was not a single living person in the city, but what made him more concerned was that there was not even a single skeleton of a dead person in the city.

The streets are empty, but there is no blood, bones, etc., and in the houses, pots, pans, pillows, bedding, etc. are all there. Suddenly left home and disappeared.

"Where did the remaining one hundred thousand people in the city go?" With this doubt in mind, Xu Dao and Su Jiu flew directly to the house where they used to live.

Falling into the courtyard, Xu Dao didn't go into the room to check in person. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and immediately a sense of coercion rose from him.

A greasy feeling of being watched reappeared in the mind of Su Jiu who was next to her again, making her heart tighten immediately and she couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, Xu Dao only showed a dozen or so breaths, and then put away his spiritual consciousness.

Quickly swept the house with his spiritual sense, just like he saw in other places, the house here is also empty, everything inside, even the silver, is still there, but the old sand swordsman who stayed behind has disappeared.

Xu Dao also found a dozen Nanke gnats in the courtyard, but unfortunately they were all corpses, and they had been dead for a long time, so he couldn't tell him what happened here.

"It's weird!" Xu Dao didn't say a word anymore, he picked up Su Jiu who was beside him, and immediately went to the top of Mount She, which was the ghost market.

After a while, the two fell into the ghost market again. The bustling and bustling market was deserted, and there were no living people left. It can really be called a "ghost market".

Xu Dao used his spiritual sense to scan while walking, and found that this place is no longer as complete as in the mountain city. The shops in the ghost market are all chaotic, with tables and chairs scattered, and drawers rummaged.

It seemed that the shopkeeper had fled with his property in a hurry, or that he had been robbed by a bandit, and he didn't leave Xu Dao with half a talisman, or spiritual objects and other good things.

He cruised a few times, and then walked to the back mountain of Sheshan.

At this time, Xu Daoyuan found a canyon in the back of Sheshan Mountain. The forests around the valley were overturned and huge rocks were piled up in disorder. It should be a new one.

This aroused Xu Dao's interest, and he hurriedly approached, ready to go in to see the situation.But before he got close, there was a stern voice from the canyon:

"Hey! Black-robed Taoist, come down quickly!"

His voice was fierce and fierce.
