Leisurely fairy way

Chapter 256 Sand Corpse Attack

Walking out of the Kunxu Mountains, passing through several mortal cities, Ji Xiaochun entered a desert.There is a kind of grass full of thorns growing on this Gobi, and few trees can be seen. The only animals are sand rabbit lizards and so on.There are very few monsters here, and the highest level is the withered star lizard.

After flying with Wuyu for a while, Ji Xiaochun landed from mid-air with Gaitian Xiaoyi.

After walking for several months, it is rare to see an oasis.It is the Populus euphratica forest. The living Populus euphratica has bloomed, and their flowers are flying like cotton wool. The withered Populus euphratica reflects the empty blue sky and the golden desert of the Gobi, and the withered body shows the vicissitudes of time.

There is a lake in the middle of the Populus euphratica forest, and the flowers are falling on the water like velvet. Several sand rabbits are drinking water beside them. Suddenly, an arrow is shot from the forest, and one of the sand rabbits is shot. He raised his head in panic, and fled in all directions into the woods.

Immediately, several men in robes and hats came out of the woods, talking in a strange language, while picking up the sand rabbits that had fallen by the lake.They are a caravan, traveling from the northern city to the south to buy some goods that are lacking in the north. They have experienced sandstorms, high temperature and drought along the way, and finally found an oasis with water. Naturally, they have to stop and rest for a day or two.

Ji Xiaochun brought Gai Tian and Xiao Yi to a place far away from the caravan, and set up a concealment formation, where one man and two beasts rested.After Gai Tian fell down, he ran to collect firewood enthusiastically. He caught many monsters and animals along the way, but he didn't find time to eat them.Xiaoyi seemed to like the flowers of Populus euphratica very much, and jumped up to the tree to play with the tidbits.Ji Xiaochun smiled lightly and took out the sand rabbit that Gaitian got along the way, and helped it deal with it, and when Gaitian came back with the withered dry wood, she helped them roast the rabbit meat for them to eat.

The rabbit was roasted until its skin was golden and the oil was sizzling. She sprinkled a handful of seasoning and brushed it with a layer of honey.The scent is even better.

Gaitian and Xiaoyi ate rabbit meat, and she began to meditate to recover the spiritual power consumed by the rapid flight.The Chaos Art of the Five Elements was constantly replenishing her spiritual power, and she didn't consume much, so she woke up from the slumber in a short while, seeing that the sky was dark, a full moon was floating between the branches, and the fire that covered the sky It was still burning, and the two of them leaned against the fire to play tidbits.

Suddenly, Ji Xiaochun moved his ears.The foundation-building cultivator had a keen sense of hearing, and she seemed to have heard something bad.

In the caravan far away from the lake and the woods, the merchants parked their camels in the woods to eat leaves, and they drank and ate meat around the campfire, which was very enjoyable.Accompanying them were not only young adults, but also several veiled women and young children. They ate noodles and barbecue with hot soup in the tent.Gu Li was one of them. She finished eating and was about to put her child to sleep, but she saw her man rushing into the tent.

"Zai, what's the matter, why are you in such a panic?" Seeing her man trembling unceasingly, his eyes widened, Gu Li couldn't help asking worriedly.

"Sand monster! It's a sand monster! We have encountered a sand monster!" The man couldn't help his lips trembling. "Knife... where is the knife! Hand me the knife quickly!!"

When Gu Li heard that the sand monster was coming, she stood up in fright, and the children in the tent immediately cried.

Zai couldn't help but growl: "Don't cry! The sand monster hasn't approached the woods yet, don't get it past..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden miserable cry outside, and then there was chaos, things fell to the ground, and there were continuous tragic screams.The women and children immediately huddled together and hugged each other. Zai's child cried and said, "Daddy, the sand monster is here! It's going to eat us!"

Zai quickly snatched the knife from his wife, and tremblingly stood in front of the woman and the child.Suddenly, he ran into the tent alone. His left arm had been torn off, and blood profusely protruded from the broken part.

"Run! There are five sand monsters, we will be eaten by them all! Everyone run outside now, count as many as you can get out!"

Zai yelled: "Outside is the desert, just running out like this is death, we might as well die together! Your wound needs to block the blood, Gu Li, quickly bring the gauze!"

"Run! You will die if you stay here! You can come back if you escape!" Gu Xiu said, "Brothers are all outside to block them, you will be able to escape!" Zai gritted his teeth, staying here only one by one was killed The blame is eaten into the stomach, and the death is extremely miserable, it is better to run outside!He immediately called everyone to rush out with him. As soon as the tent was opened, he saw that several people on the ground had been torn to pieces, and several humanoid monsters with rough black skin were attacking their companions. Taller than them, with a mouth full of fangs, and hands like sharp claws, it can easily be inserted into their stomachs.

"Everyone run separately!" Zai yelled, and the women and children immediately ran out with all their strength, and Zai waved the knife in his hand to save his companion.As soon as he got close to the monster, a rancid smell hit his face. The knife cut into the monster's back, but it seemed to feel no pain at all. It roared and grabbed Zai, and its claws were embedded in his arm. Zai found himself It was no match for the strength of the monster!
Suddenly, there was a faint voice in the air. "It's noisy."

A silver light shot out, piercing all the monsters to death in an instant.The movements of these monsters stopped immediately, and their scarlet eyes slowly dimmed. The monster holding his arm let go of his claws, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky.Immediately, countless cracks appeared on the bodies of these sand monsters. When the wind blew, the monsters were blown away like quicksand. Five sand monsters were killed with one move.

Everyone was startled by this turn of events, and the silver light flew around in the air before happily rushing into the open hands of the visitor.

Only then did everyone see that standing by was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with blue clothes and long hair, and a delicate appearance. She seemed to be a young lady from a family in the south who was studying, with a good temperament and a fragile personality.But she shot and killed five sand monsters just now!
Ji Xiaochun took the Blood Shadow Sword back to his dantian.These sand corpses were formed by people who died in the desert. They couldn't leave this ghostly place. They were full of resentment. They wanted to find a few more people to accompany them, but they were already considered monsters, and the place in their hearts was where the souls of monsters stayed. Although it can only be regarded as the second-level cultivation base of the beast stage, the blood shadow sword can eat their souls if it passes through them, and it can also replenish the soul power of the little wolf cubs.

Ji Xiaochun glanced at the stunned people in the caravan. She didn't want to disturb her, so she turned around and wanted to leave.The person whose arm was grabbed by the monster just now stepped forward immediately, and said in Song language with a strange accent: "Thank you for this girl's rescue! Please don't leave, girl, we are very grateful!"

Ji Xiaochun said: "No need, I'm just picking up something. It's not because I saw an injustice, and I didn't intend to help you."

The man hurriedly said: "Girl, where are you going? I, Zai, have traveled all over the Rehe Valley. I can still help you where you are going!"

Ji Xiaochun's footsteps stopped, she really needed a guide.Kunxu Wonderland has very few descriptions about the Jichuan cold environment. She just flew north in a daze. To be honest, I really don’t know if I can find the Jichuan cold environment, and I want to ask while walking.I didn't expect that there would be someone who came to my door now. The businessman has traveled all over the world and has a lot of knowledge. Maybe he knows the clues of the cold environment in Jichuan.

Seeing her stop, the women and children in the caravan came to their senses, and after the disaster, they began to cry softly.Ji Xiaochun sat cross-legged on a high place, and sent a sound transmission to Gaitian, telling him to pack up his things and come over.The people in the caravan began to sort out the wreckage of their companions, including the food and cooking utensils that were photographed everywhere by the sand monster.

Zai walked towards Ji Xiaochun, he wanted to invite this mysterious girl to rest in the tent.This person felt very different from them, and Zai couldn't tell what was different. Thinking of this girl's methods, he couldn't help but feel weak in his knees.

Hearing that he respectfully invited him to go inside, Ji Xiaochun shook his head and said lightly: "Maybe the Sand Corpse Demon will come back, I'll watch it for you outside."

Gai Tian quickly walked over with Xiao Yi, both of them smelled the heavy smell of blood in the air, but after following Ji Xiaochun for so many years, they have seen many killings.The two of them sat next to Ji Xiaochun, talking to her occasionally.

The sky was getting brighter, and Chen Xi visited the Populus euphratica forest again, but saw blood all over the ground.There were more than 30 people in the caravan, but now there are only less than [-], including a small number of women and children.Zai led the young and middle-aged man to bury his dead companion in the sand. Seeing that he was about to make the same mistake as countless others before, Ji Xiaochun jumped off the branch and walked towards him.

Zai never shed tears, but his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was very tired. Looking at the wounded with broken arms and legs, Ji Xiaochun felt a little bit unbearable, and sighed.She spread her hands, "This is a wooden nail made of peach wood, nailed into the heart of the corpse, otherwise they will become new sand corpses over time."

Zai was a little surprised: "...you...you said that those sand monsters were transformed from human corpses?"

Ji Xiaochun nodded, handed him the mahogany nail, and took out some healing pills that ordinary people can use from the storage bag: "These pills can be eaten by seriously injured people. Although they can't regrow limbs, but It’s still possible to save your life.”

Taoist disciples will naturally learn some methods to deal with ghosts. Peach trees are all low-level, not even up to the level of spirit wood, which is enough to deal with ordinary human corpses.If the level is higher, peach spirit wood should be used.

Zai took the small jade bottle, and thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, girl!" The severely injured people are now lying in the tents under the care of women. Dan Yao hurried into the tent.
