Raising the Demon

Chapter 288 A Handful of Yellow Sand Devours Everything
Fortunately, although the dead air is pervasive between heaven and earth, the concentration is not high, just like smog and air pollution. Although it affects people's health, it will not kill people.But the high concentration of dead gas is completely different. Once the concentration of dead gas exceeds a certain limit, it is no different from a poisonous gas attack.

"It's the earth veins..." Zi Baifeng murmured.

Spiritual Qi gushed out from the ground first, and then death Qi gushed out again. Zi Baifeng understood the mystery of this process after only a little deduction.

This world has long been filled with dead energy, especially in the ground veins, which have been completely stagnated by dead energy, causing the ground veins to be blocked.

And Zi Baifeng has also seen this kind of dead energy gushing from the ground, it is the phenomenon that the ground veins are refilled with spiritual energy and the dead energy is driven out.

The ground veins are filled with spiritual power again, driving out the dead energy in the ground veins, and above the ground veins, because of the Xijing Great Formation, it is filled with spiritual energy, so the squeezed dead energy drives out the spiritual energy on the surface .

It's like a three-layer cake with a layer of dead energy sandwiched between two layers of spiritual energy. The upper layer of spiritual energy has been eaten up, and now the second layer of dead energy is eaten.

But... why are the earth veins suddenly filled with spiritual energy?

……

In the far east, there is a small town on the edge of the death desert.

The town was once beautiful and rich, and it was the place where several commercial routes must pass. With the expansion of the desert of death, most of the people in the town have fled. The rest are only some old and weak women and children unable to escape. , relying on the passing merchants to survive, but now fewer and fewer merchants pass through this place.

I don't know when, a girl in white clothes came to the town. She was as beautiful as a flower, with bright eyes. When she came, she attracted everyone's attention.

She walked around the small town and found an empty house to live in. After a few days, she settled the empty house and opened an inn.

This girl is kind and kind-hearted, but unfortunately she is a mute, no matter who she is, she has never seen her speak.

Sometimes, the girl would close the inn and go out for ten or twenty days. When she came back, she was still wearing the spotless white dress, as if she had never traveled long distances.

People in the town said that the girl was a fairy, and when she was away, she returned to the sky.

But no one can prove it.

The few young people in the village wandered around the inn every day and night. The girl smiled at everyone, but looked down on everyone.

Every day, the girl invites guests outside the door, and as long as the girl's inn opens, none of the passing merchants will stop to rest. In fact, once she stands at the door, it is more effective than a ten-foot-high signboard.

But this time, the girl standing outside the door seemed to hear something suddenly, and her complexion changed.

She rushed to the center of the town suddenly and rang the alarm bell. Old and weak women and children came out of their houses and looked at him suspiciously.

In recent years, the horse thieves who frequented the town have also stopped coming, and the alarm bell has not sounded for several years. For a while, everyone was a little dazed.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her blankly, the girl seemed to be a little anxious, and a few younger generations stepped forward, wanting to ask her what happened, but who would have thought that the girl would suddenly transform into a huge, crippled bird? Fucking fox!

The fox was ten feet tall, and with just one bite, it swallowed the youngest in front of it.

Then the fox roared wildly and rushed towards the crowd.

Only then did everyone get scared, and shouted, the old lady with small feet, the old man on crutches, and the little baby who couldn't run, all ran out of the town in one go.

The fox in the back barked loudly, with sharp teeth, and everyone ran as hard as they could.

When they ran to the fork in the road outside the small town, everyone heard the rustling sound like spring silkworms eating behind them, and when they turned their heads, they were all stunned.

The wooden pole hanging the copper bell in the center of the town is slowly falling down, and before it falls to the ground, it has already been reduced to powder, and the copper bell seems to have been rusted for decades.

When it fell to the ground, it fell into several pieces.

The houses where everyone lived, some of the earth and stone structures were okay, and the wooden structures were almost completely reduced to powder.

Although originally barren, there was some vitality in the earth, and it turned into a long yellow sand in an instant.

This time, there was no need for the fox to threaten them, they knew they had escaped, and rushed five miles along the way, and everyone turned their heads back.

At some point, their homeland has turned into a desert.

The Desert of Death...expanded...

In the haze, I saw the fox turned into a woman in white again. A young man stood beside her, still looking around in a daze. The woman in white gently pushed his back, then turned around and disappeared like a cloud.

"The Great Immortal Fox has appeared..."

I don't know who knelt on the ground first, and everyone panicked and fell to the ground.

……

In the east, Mengcheng is thousands of miles away.

To the southwest of Mengcheng, in Niaoshu Mountain, a pillar with a bow on its back, carrying two pheasants, came out of the woods humming a little song.

In the distance ahead, a watchtower towered high on the top of the mountain, which was built by Yan Laowu and his team before Zi Baifeng left.

From that day on, these watchtowers have never lost people. There are six peaks in Niaoshu Mountain. Except for the bird and mouse view on the highest peak, each of the other five peaks has built a watchtower. Ten people came to guard in turn.

Although they don't know the existence of the desert of death, so no one dares to be sloppy.

This time, Zhuzi came to replace another young man in the village. In the next five days, he could concentrate on practicing swordsmanship while looking around.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zi quickened his pace, but suddenly frowned and stopped.

As an old hunter, he knows the birds and beasts in the forest very well, and he can hear the sounds of the birds and beasts around him, full of panic and uneasiness.

"Roar!" A leopard poked its head out of the forest and yelled at him a few times. The voice reminded him, "Run!"

Judging from its size, this leopard should have become a climate, and Zhu Zi had seen him a few times before, when he heard its warning, he froze for a moment, and then heard a scream: "Quick—— Run-run-run-run-run-"

The pillar raised his head, and happened to see that the watchtower above was slowly toppling down, and halfway down, it had already turned into yellow sand flying all over the sky.

The white snow line on the top of the mountain was covered in yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if someone had knocked over the yellow paint.

"Not good...Death of Death..." Zhu Zi didn't have time to sigh, he turned around and ran away.

In the mountains and forests, wild beasts, big and small, ran around him, and everything that could move was fleeing.

But the speed of the death desert spread is too fast, and animals are constantly being swallowed by the death desert.

The young man behind him exerted all his strength, quickly caught up with the pillar, and shouted: "Zhuzi, run! Run!"

The two of them ran furiously all the way without looking back. They ran for half an hour before turning around.

The expansion of the desert of death seems to have stopped, at least not as fast as before.

But if you listen carefully, you can still hear the rustling sound, which represents the rustling sound of death.

"In the end...what happened? Why did the desert of death suddenly expand?" The two looked at each other, and no one could guess.

……

"What happened?" The whole of Xijing was filled with death suddenly, even the Bull King couldn't sit still, he flew back and headed straight for Zi Baifeng.

But Zi Baifeng didn't have time to answer him, he was trying his best to control the big formation, using the power of the big formation to gather spiritual energy, and try to expel the dead energy as much as possible. After a long time, Zi Baifeng sighed and sat on the ground as if collapsed.

"It's the Earth's veins..." Zi Baifeng explained, "Someone has controlled the Earth's veins, and they are extracting spiritual energy from somewhere. The extracted spiritual energy, the dead energy originally accumulated in the Earth's veins...is not good!"

Zi Baifeng suddenly had a warning sign in his heart, he glanced at the tiles, and suddenly his soul flew into the sky: "The desert of death is expanding!"

Zi Baifeng suddenly opened his eyes wide, and all his mind was poured into the porcelain between his eyebrows.

Mengcheng, which was infested by the desert of death, flashed in his eyes for a moment. Zi Baifeng suppressed the urge to take a closer look at Mengcheng, and turned his vision back to Xijing.

His vision was zooming out, but his consciousness was further invested in the tiles. Finally, under the large formation of Xijing surrounded by panels, another line slowly emerged.

A line of purple, shimmering with dim light.

"What's going on here!" Zi Baifeng suddenly turned his head and glared at King Zhuan angrily.

"What's going on?" King Zhuan was stunned.

"Why is there another layer of formation under the spirit-gathering formation?" Zi Baifeng paused and asked viciously.

"Another level of formation?" King Zhuan was at a loss, "How...how is it possible? Where is the second level of formation?"

"Damn it!" Seeing King Zhuan's expression, Zi Baifeng knew that King Zhuan was unreliable.

At this time, he can basically be sure that this large formation should go straight to the death desert, and the spirit energy will be extracted from the death desert and transported to Xijing.

He didn't know whether King Zhuan was pretending to be confused or really confused, but this matter must have something to do with the royal family of Zhuan'er Kingdom. Otherwise, why the first level of the formation completely covered the second level of formation? It is impossible to find out if the tactics are advanced, and you have controlled many seals of Xijing.

The sudden appearance of the Death Desert hundreds of years ago, and the sudden expansion of the Death Desert some time ago must be inseparable from Xijing.

Maybe, it is also inseparable from Zhongshan King!
And another fact that shocked Zi Baifeng was that the earth veins can be manipulated by formations, which is beyond his knowledge.

"Quickly think of a way!" King Zhuan grabbed Zi Baifeng's hand instead, "Xijing can't be destroyed like this!"

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" Zi Baifeng kicked King Zhuan away, he really wanted to trample King Zhuan under his feet, and jump up a few more times.

There are two ways to control the leylines.

One way is for him to completely control the entire world of Xijing, and the land veins are naturally under his control, but it is almost impossible right now.

There is another way, but it only exists in theory.

He had to give it a try, because he had no way out, and he couldn't afford to lose.
