In the Clouds: Mulan Line

Chapter 38
"Wu Nan is the person who captured the buried jade in Mingsha City? No wonder many people say that Wu Nan's temperament changed drastically after entering the Black Sand Sea."

"This is the most reasonable explanation." Hua Mulan nodded, "But since Wu Nan is no longer Wu Nan, why did he bring us to Heishahai? If he hadn't led the way, we wouldn't have come here so soon. "

While Hua Mulan was talking, suddenly her back felt cold, and she suddenly realized that Wu Nan in the distance...had disappeared!

people! ?
At this moment, Hua Mulan suddenly felt a chill on the top of her head, she didn't even think about it, her body rolled forward!

A thick boa constrictor descended from the sky. It opened its mouth wide and bit Hua Mulan's throat!
"Captain!" Baili Shouyue immediately raised his spear and was about to shoot, but at this moment, the black sand on the ground shook, and black snakes came out of the sand and rushed towards Baili Shouyue!
Danger!

Baili Shouyue was terrified, but he made a decision in an instant. Regardless of the black snakes jumping up one after another, he aimed at the giant python in the sky and pulled the trigger directly!

"Bah!"

Only a gunshot was heard, and the giant python was shot in the head by Baili Shouyue.

At the same time, Kai held a big sword and descended from the sky, like a god of war descending to earth.

"Bah ah!"

The mad knife fluttered, and all these tiny black snakes were swept away by the wind of Kai's knife!
"Be careful! Quicksand!"

One wave after another, Baili Shouyue just fired a shot, and found that his feet were deeply plunged into the black sand.

Not only Baili kept the promise, but also Hua Mulan who just rolled up.

The sand flowed quickly under their feet without any force at all!

Oops!

Hua Mulan's heart sank. Although she is powerful in combat, she can't fly. Once she loses her footing, she will not be able to use her abilities.

Quicksand, the more you struggle, the faster you fall.

"Kai, hurry up, step on my shoulder!" Baili Shouyue said quickly. At this time, Kai was still in the air, and he was the only one among the three of them who did not fall into the black quicksand.

"This……"

"Hurry up! It's only you now!" Baili Shouyue tried his best to stabilize his body, keeping his legs motionless.

If Kai also fell into the quicksand, all three of them would be finished.

Kai also understood this, he gritted his teeth, and when he landed, he stepped on Baili Shouyue's shoulder, and stomped hard!
Relying on this borrowing force, the armor flew more than ten meters away and landed steadily on the rocky ground.

But also because of his step, Baili's contract sank even deeper.

With a distance of more than ten meters, seeing that Baili Shouyue and Hua Mulan were about to fall into the quicksand, Kai was helpless for a while, and a look of anxiety appeared on his usually calm face.

"This... what's going on?!"

Ligu still doesn't understand what happened, isn't everything over?Just now Uncle Wunan was helping him heal his wounds, but in the blink of an eye...

Now what's going on!

At this moment, Hua Mulan drew the epee on her back.

With the epee in hand, the quicksand under Hua Mulan's feet was up to her knees.

Caught in the quicksand, it was impossible to pull out her legs, but relying on the glue and fixation of the quicksand to her legs, Hua Mulan was able to exert force downwards.

She pinpointed Baili Shou's position.

"Captain, you...?"

"Baili, jump out!" During the speech, Hua Mulan shouted, and the epee in her hand charged downwards and slashed!

"Boom!"

Hua Mulan's sword slammed heavily on the quicksand, the powerful impact smashed the quicksand flying in all directions, and the shock wave went straight forward, directly rushing towards Baili Shouyi!
With the help of the explosion of sword energy, Baili Shouyue felt that the quicksand around his legs suddenly loosened, and was actually blown away by the sword energy. Baili Shouyue took advantage of the momentum and rose into the air, although it was only halfway through the air. Mi Duogao, but he did get rid of the shackles of quicksand at this moment.

Now is not the time to be hypocritical, Hua Mulan worked hard to create this short opportunity, of course Baili kept the promise and would not give up, without even thinking about it, he picked up his spear and shot forward!
"Bah!"

The huge recoil of the machine gun pushed Baili Shouyue's body back and flew out. This flight was seven or eight meters away!
Seeing that it was about to land, Baili kept his promise and pulled the trigger again.

"Bah!"

With another shot, Baili Shouyue flew out again. This time, he landed directly on the rocky ground more than ten meters away, standing beside Kai.

Even if it was an unsolvable quicksand, the three of them cooperated tacitly and managed to get out of trouble one after another. But the last Hua Mulan, because of the strength of the epee just now, her lower body was completely submerged in the quicksand.

Let alone crawling out by himself, even if someone tried to pull Hua Mulan out, it would be very laborious.

"Captain!" Baili Shouyue was anxious, and there was nothing he could do at this time.

"Don't worry about me! Get rid of Wu Nan!" Hua Mulan shouted.

"Wu... Wunan!?" Ligu was stunned not far away, what's going on?

At this moment, a strange laughter sounded: "Mulan, Mulan, how can I be willing to let the quicksand swallow you?"

This is Wu Nan's voice, but compared to the previous decadent tone, this time there is an indescribable madness in the voice.

At this time, the black sand was separated like a stream of water, and a black head the size of a palace emerged from the quicksand without a sound. It was the head of a black python, but it looked like a huge black dragon.

The black snake's body was completely submerged under the quicksand, which made it hard to believe how deep the black quicksand was!
There is a sarcoid on the top of the black snake's head, and there is a pointed horn on the sarcoid. Its body is covered with black and red scales, like a burning flame.

This is……

Baili Shouyue was stunned.

mural!

The mural on the abandoned palace depicts this giant python.

"There really is such a snake?" Kai was also shocked. Such a huge snake simply overturned his cognition. The legendary dragon is nothing more than that!

As for Ligu, he looked at the giant python in shock, because on the giant python's head stood a man wearing black linen clothes with an indescribably evil smile on his face.

This person is Wu Nan!

Baili's mind changed sharply, and the python on the mural actually existed.

Originally, when he saw the murals on the abandoned palace, he felt strange, because the paint on the murals had not faded in the slightest after thousands of years, as if it had just been painted.

In this way, it should be that someone is indeed repainting the mural of the python, and the reason is because of the giant python in front of him.

"We made a mistake, we made a mistake..." Baili Shouyue muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Kai looked at Baili Shouyi puzzled.

"The captain thought Wu Nan was just one of Yuehui's subordinates, but now it seems..."

Wu Nan looked at Baili Shouyue and Hua Mulan with a smile: "You are both smart people, one is keen to observe, and the other is to reason on this basis. I really appreciate you."

"Why? Aren't you a puppet made by Yuehui?"

Among the many skinned corpses, Wu Nan was just one of them, but Hua Mulan was shocked by manipulating this huge black python.

If Yue Hui had this black python as his helper, how could he not use it in battle?

It is even possible that Yue Hui didn't know that such a huge black python was buried in the lake of black sand under his feet.

Wu Nan obviously knows more about Yue Hui.

"No, those puppets were not made by Yue Hui, but by me."

"You? You transformed your body into a puppet?"

"No, the real Wu Nan is already dead. I used his skin to make a puppet, but... I put my soul into the puppet and slept in it."

"Soul? Can the soul be put into a puppet?" Hua Mulan had been swallowed up by the black sand to her chest. She had difficulty speaking, but she did not give up struggling. There is a larger contact area between the sands, slowing her fall.

"Dead...how...what's going on?" Ligu was stunned. This person said that Uncle Wunan was dead, but who was he?
"The essence of the soul is actually the spiritual energy that carries the memory, and the activated jade can be used as the carrier of memory and life. I have lived for too long, and my physical body has aged and died and can no longer be used. I put my own Memories are stored in jade."

In the cloud and sand sea, jade is closely related to life.

Jade itself contains life energy. After the jade is activated, it becomes a jade boy, which itself is another form of life.

And after the jade masters continuously inject energy into the jade city jade, their bodies will continue to transform into jade, until this kind of jade transforms all over the body, turning into jade and dying.

Jade can give birth to life, and life returns to jade.

Even so, Hua Mulan and others have never heard of such a method of using the activated jade as a carrier of memory and life to continue their soul after death.

"In fact, each of the puppets I made can be used as a container for my soul, but I chose Wunan. And Yuehui is just my apprentice."

"Who the hell are you?" Baili Shouyue was shocked, he didn't expect that Yuehui, a high priest, was actually this person's apprentice?

Moreover, his life is so ancient that his body has decayed and he lives completely in the form of jade.

"Heisha Kingdom, have you heard of it?"

"That's...one of the 36 countries in the cloud." Hua Mulan said with difficulty. Even Hua Mulan, who doesn't know much about the history of the cloud, knows the 36 countries in the cloud that have been destroyed one after another.

The Black Sand Country is one of them, and it has been destroyed for nearly a hundred years!

The Black Sand Country is a country of organs. The reason why it calls itself the Black Sand Country is because the organs and puppets are powered by black crystal sand. It is rumored that the country's capital, Black Sand City, even the land is dyed black because of the use of a large amount of black sand.

Later, the Black Sand Country was destroyed, and the Black Sand City was also buried in the vast sea of ​​sand.

"I am the last national teacher of the Heisha Kingdom." Wu Nan took a deep breath, his expression seemed fascinated, as if he was recalling the magnificent and glorious past of the Heisha Kingdom a hundred years ago, "The so-called Heisha Sea means that the Heisha City was destroyed The place where it was buried, but it was buried with my own hands."

Wu Nan's words shocked Hua Mulan and the others.

Heisha National Teacher who has lived for more than 100 years!
He buried a huge capital with his own hands, and was also the founder of the Black Sand Sea.

That's right, Hua Mulan felt strange before that the birth of the Black Sand Sea seemed artificial rather than natural.

But in the Black Sand Sea, they only saw Yue Hui. If it is said that Yue Hui created the Black Sand Sea in order to revive Xiaoyu, it would not make sense at all.

One is the existence of the Black Sand Sea, long before Xiaoyu's death.

Second, with Yue Hui's strength, it's hard to imagine that he can control and tame the entire Black Sand Sea for his own use.

Now it seems that the Heisha Sea was completely created by the Heisha State Master, who possesses extremely terrifying strength.

"The palace ruins where the giant mural we saw before is the palace ruins in Heisha City?" Baili Shouyue asked.

"That's right, that used to be the most magnificent palace in the sea of ​​sand in the cloud. The black crystal sand stored in the palace is higher than the mountain. The gold, silver and jewels in the palace can be gathered into a sea."

Wu Nan said with emotion, reminiscing about the glory of the past made him fascinated.

Baili Shouyue understands that although what Wu Nan said is exaggerated, it is true. The chicken blood stone on the mural used as the eyes of the boa constrictor is priceless.

"It's a pity that the Heisha Kingdom is still destroyed, and the Heisha City will also be destroyed in the fire..."

"Then why did you bury it?" Hua Mulan asked, and this was what puzzled her.

"In order to preserve the power of Heisha City! The black sand in Heishahai is the black crystal sand stored in Heishacheng, and the jade mine in Heishahai is also the jade accumulated in Heishacheng. The wealth of Heishacheng cannot fall into the sea of ​​sand. Hands of desert rats like the Sons of God, they are for my use."

"So, you killed everyone who strayed into the Black Sand Sea?"

"It's not that I killed them. I just used them as fertilizer for the magic jade mine. It should be an honor for their humble bodies to be absorbed by the magic jade mine. Of course... there are some people with powerful lives. If It would be a pity to just be fertilizer, I made these people into puppets and let them work for me."

"These puppets still have some memories of their lives, and they use magic jade as the carrier of memories. They can even maintain the behavior and habits of their lives. When they return to their respective cities and tribes, the local people think they have escaped from the dead. , and will not suspect them."

Hua Mulan's heart trembled when she heard it, she felt that this was a lunatic.The most frightening thing is that this lunatic has strength beyond imagination. He created a sea of ​​black sand with black crystal sand and jade ore!He also raised black snakes here, and made many puppets, making this place a Jedi.

At first glance, hearing all kinds of black sand sea, it is simply the handwriting of the demon god.

However, it is indeed man-made.

"What is your purpose? Why do you use these puppets to capture those girls?"

"My purpose... is Him..." Wu Nan sat down on the python's head, he gently stroked the black and red scales on the python's head, stroked the huge tumor and snake horns, his fascinated expression, It was as if he was stroking his lover, "The Black Sand King Snake..."

"What?" Baili Shouyue, Hua Mulan and Kai were all shocked.

It is rumored that after the demon god is sealed, the body that turns into is the black sand king snake.

It is also the source of the black snake storm.

But that is a story from the age of mythology. Could it be that the python in front of you is the black sand king snake?
"No..." Baili Shouyue suddenly shook his head, "Although this giant black python looks perfect, it...should not be a real life form!"

The long spear and observation eye used by Baili Shouyue are both organs.

He is very familiar with the mechanism, and the mechanism cannot be driven without the black crystal sand, and from the giant python, Baili Shouyue felt the energy fluctuation of the black crystal sand.

Because it is too strong, such a huge puppet consumes the black crystal sand at a terrifying speed, which is probably the reason why it is sleeping in the black crystal sand lake.

Otherwise, if it was a real boa constrictor, sleeping in the black crystal sand lake for decades without eating or drinking, it would have starved to death long ago.

Therefore, there is a high probability that this black python is a trap!
"You guessed it right again, it is indeed not the real Black Sand King Snake, it is the greatest institution built by the Black Sand Kingdom 100 years ago by gathering one hundred of the best organ puppet masters in the country in ten years! "

"And I am also one of them. It's a pity that this greatest mechanism has never been completed. What I want to build is a real black sand king snake, a living black sand king snake!"

Hearing this, Baili Shouyue set off a huge wave in his heart.

According to the legend, the most powerful organ puppet master can give life to the organ, but this is just a legend.

Creating a life is already close to the power of a god.

Not to mention, what Wu Nan wants to create is a giant life form like the black sand king snake.

"The god that Heisha believes in is the demon god, right?" Baili Shouyue suddenly thought of this.

"Oh? You know this too? It's not easy. A country that was destroyed a hundred years ago, its beliefs can still be remembered by the world. Yes, the Heisha country believes in the demon god. It is rumored that when the Heisha King Snake appeared in the world, It is the day when the Demon God wakes up. At that time, as the most loyal servant of the Demon God, I will also receive the favor of the Demon God and conquer the sea of ​​sand in the clouds!"

"It's a pity that the Black Sand King Snake has long since disappeared, so I want to use mechanism techniques to reproduce the Black Sand King Snake, and use it to reproduce the glory of the Black Sand City a hundred years ago, and even go far beyond it!"

There is no doubt that this is a madman, and he has been crazy for more than 100 years, and he has been crazy to the bone.

Regarding the records in the classics of the Heisha Kingdom—the time when the black sand king snake appeared in the world was the day when the demon god awakened. As for waking up, the Black Sand King Snake alone is a powerful war machine!

It can even wipe out a small country!
This is also a huge threat to the Great Wall.

And if the Demon God can really be resurrected, it will be even more terrifying, and the entire Yunzhong will be plunged into disaster.
