Chapter 613 Sand Fire
Previously, he practiced boxing in the storm, and he could defeat a thousand cavalry by himself. He looked majestic, but the energy was really high. Even with his half-step master's physique, he couldn't bear it and was mentally exhausted, so he naturally had to take a good rest.
Seeing Ye Qing resting, the little guy stopped making noises, walked to Ye Qing's side, sat down gently, rested his chin with his hands, and looked at the clear blue sky, obediently and quietly.
A few hours later, Ye Qing had mostly recovered, and then he and the little guy continued their journey across the Black Wind Desert.
In winter in the north, the days are long and the nights are short, especially in late winter, the days seem even shorter. The blue sun that was hanging high in the sky just now began to stagger to the west after a while, and fiery red clouds covered the sky and the earth.
, reflecting the whole world like a dream.
The scenery is beautiful, and the sun sets over the desert, which has its own unique flavor. However, as night approaches, the temperature in the Black Wind Desert also drops suddenly.
The day and night in the Black Wind Desert are like two different worlds.
Even in the depth of winter, the Black Wind Desert is quite hot during the day. The scorching sun burns the yellow sand and stings the skin of the locals. But once the sun sets, it is like taking away all the warmth and hope in the world, and the entire black desert becomes hot.
The wind desert became bitingly cold, several times colder than the night in Beiyou.
It is no exaggeration to say that exhaling air turns into mist, and dripping water turns into ice.
If an ordinary person is in such an environment, or if he cannot last long, the blood in his body will coagulate and turn into a corpse.
Of course, Ye Qing is not an ordinary person.
The cold that is a fatal threat to ordinary people is nothing to the energetic Ye Qing and the magical little guy, so they continue on their way.
The sky quickly darkened, and the Black Wind Desert suddenly became extremely dark, without a trace of light or life, and was full of depression and deathly silence.
Traveling under such circumstances is undoubtedly a physical and mental torture and test, but for Ye Qing, it is undoubtedly also a training and training.
Everything we see in the world is nothing but cultivation and hard work.
Ye Qing walked alone in the dark night with a peaceful mind.
"Firelight..."
As we walked, we suddenly heard wisps of firelight in the distance.
Fire means warmth;
Light symbolizes hope.
Seeing the light of fire in the cold and dark desert is an ecstatic thing for anyone.
But Ye Qing's mentality was very calm. He was neither overjoyed nor rushed towards the fire. Instead, he was on heightened alert.
The appearance of fire in the Black Wind Desert is itself a questionable matter.
When Ye Qing was a few feet away from the source of the fire, the yellow sand beneath his feet softened, and his whole body sank downwards.
"quicksand!"
Ye Qing's eyes flashed, and he was about to jump out of the quicksand, but at this moment, there seemed to be countless arms in the quicksand, hugging his legs and dragging him deeper into the quicksand.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing was chest-deep submerged in the quicksand.
"Huh? Weird?!"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, made a fist with his right hand, and punched it on the surface of the quicksand.
The whole piece of quicksand sunk down for several inches like cloth. There seemed to be a muffled thunder at the bottom of the quicksand. Ye Qing used the force to rise up and landed on the edge of the quicksand.
At the same time, pairs of rotten arms suddenly stretched out from the quicksand, waving continuously, as if trying to grab something, but in vain. After a while, those arms reluctantly submerged into the quicksand again.
The entire quicksand has returned to its previous calm state.
Only the flame in the center of the quicksand beats brighter and more cheerfully, releasing alluring warmth and light.
"It turns out to be sand fire, no wonder."
Ye Qing looked at the warm and bright flames in the center of the quicksand, his eyes getting colder.
Sandfire is a seductive monster that often appears in deserts and desolate places. It uses fire as a lure, hope as bait, and quicksand as a net to seduce cold, lonely, and hesitant people in the dark.
Seeing the light of fire is like seeing warmth and hope. You will be ecstatic and run towards the fire regardless of everything, but accidentally fall into the quicksand and become the food of the sand and fire.
It is said that fire attracts living beings and sand eats human life.
Therefore, the sand in Shahuo also means killing, so Shahuo is also called killing fire, the fire of killing people.
The more humans and creatures the sand fire swallows, the warmer and brighter the fire will be, and the wider the scope of the quicksand will be.
According to the records of the Jing'an Bureau, there was once a fire that spread across hundreds of miles, wiping out all humans and animals and devouring all living beings. It was no different from a natural disaster.
Of course, sand fires of that level are not enchantment-level monsters, but are no different from natural disaster-level monsters. They continue to expand and devour living creatures every day. It is said that the Jingan Division dispatched more than a dozen masters in those days.
Kill it completely.
However, the sand fire in front of Ye Qing is only the most basic sand fire. It is probably related to the environment of the Black Wind Desert. The Black Wind Desert is a well-known desert place in Yanchu and Chu countries. Except for some who are homeless or have high skills,
Very few brave people dare to cross the Black Wind Desert, which naturally results in Sandfire having no living creatures to devour and naturally unable to evolve.
The next moment, Ye Qing flew up like an eagle. When he flew over the flames, he suddenly turned around and reached out to reach into the flames.
As if feeling the crisis, the flame suddenly jumped up a few inches. The original orange, warm, and bright firelight also became gloomy, cold, and filthy. The entire quicksand was like boiling water, boiling endlessly, with countless rotten arms.
He stretched out from the quicksand and grabbed Ye Qing.
Ye Qing turned a blind eye, stretched out his five fingers into the flames and held them upside down.
Standing on your head in the air without any support, you can lift mountains and rivers three feet with your backhand.
"boom"
Ye Qing raised his arm, and the whole piece of quicksand exploded. The flame was pulled out, along with countless rotten arms.
Those arms, like the roots of the flame, are clustered at the base of the flame, densely packed and stretching for several feet, looking extremely disgusting and oozing.
Those rotting arms were naturally the arms of people who died in the sand and fire. When those people died, their bodies were swallowed up by the sand and fire, and their arms turned into the roots of the sand and fire.
After being pulled out of the quicksand, the flame slowly dissipated like sourceless water, and the rotten arms hung down, stopping their struggle.
After the flames dissipated, the quicksand no longer boiled, but was replaced by a putrid smell.
Sand fire is quicksand, and the flame is one. When the flame is extinguished, the quicksand is extinguished. Therefore, when Ye Qing pulls the flame out of the quicksand, the two are separated, just like the head is moved, and the head is separated, naturally losing its vitality.
Ye Qing threw the rotten arm in his hand on the ground, waved his left hand, and the ghost fire fell down, burning it to ashes.
Seeing Ye Qing's actions, the little guy also came to the quicksand, puffed out his cheeks, and spat into it.
Strange to say, when the little guy's saliva fell into the quicksand, the quicksand, which was originally full of rancid and fishy smell, gradually returned to its original state, and the water quality became clear, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
Obviously, the little guy's mouthful of saliva directly purified the filth in the quicksand.
"With you, it's really awesome."
Ye Qing couldn't help but gestured his thumb to the little guy and praised him.
"Giggle..."
