The Tuori Desert is an area on the edge of the Sanyu Divine Kingdom. It is located within the Holy City of Xianling, but is very far away from the Holy City.
There is a huge desert here. Once a strong wind blows, you will see a sky full of yellow sand.
Except for some unique desert gods and demons, there are basically no resources in the desert, and nothing can be grown in the desert, so it is gradually abandoned.
Even the nearest divine city is millions of miles away, and even by flight, it would take ten days and a half to reach it.
But even in such a desert, there is still a sacred city in the desert. Even though this sacred city has been abandoned, it is still surviving tenaciously.
This is Tuori Shencheng.
After half a month, Mu Feng and Yasha finally arrived here. In the Tuori Desert, there was the third statue of the sacred silkworm.
"This place is too torturous. There is no moisture at all. I'm so thirsty!" Yasha said with disgust on his face. The scorching sun above his head seemed to be burning, scorching all living things under the sun.
As a Yasha who grew up in the forest, trees and water flows are what they are most familiar with, so he seems very uncomfortable in a place like this.
Fortunately, Mu Feng was by his side, and he casually took out a large bucket of spring water and handed it to Yasha without even looking back. He had obviously done this many times.
Yasha took the bucket and poured down the divine spring water. Then he wiped his mouth with his hand and asked with satisfaction: "Mu Feng, what kind of water is this? Why is it so sweet?"
Mu Feng rolled his eyes and said with great disdain: "You only know how sweet it is. Do you know how many holy crystals the bucket of immortal spring water you drank can be sold outside?"
"Hey, no matter how much it sells, water is water and is for drinking!" Yasha said with a smile.
"Your life is really simple."
Mu Feng looked helpless and continued to walk forward.
After walking for a while, they finally saw the sacred city in the desert, Tuori Divine City, but the appearance of this sacred city exceeded their imagination.
The city wall was built very tall to withstand the stormy sand and dust in the desert, but the materials used to build the city wall were not the high-end materials used in other divine cities.
Only ordinary stones are used here, and the defensive formation outside the city wall is also very weak, far less powerful than those in other sacred cities.
All this made Mu Feng a little confused. It is said that this place is also the territory of the Sangyu Divine Kingdom. Why does it look so crude?
As long as some monks with advanced cultivation are deployed, there should be no problem in protecting this sacred city.
With these doubts, they entered the divine city, only to find that there were no officers or soldiers in the divine city.
However, the situation in the divine city was not as bad as they imagined. There were also many trees planted under the city wall, but the trees were all bare, with only the trunks left.
There is also some green grass on the ground, but unfortunately there is very little. It can be seen that this place was once an oasis, but it has been swallowed up by the desert.
The people in the city were all dark-skinned. When they saw outsiders like Mu Feng and Yasha, they all seemed a little afraid and did not come forward to talk. They seemed to be very introverted.
Moreover, most of the buildings in the city were made of earth and were very dilapidated. Some even collapsed without anyone taking care of them.
"What's going on here? Why do I see these people so lifeless?" Mu Feng frowned.
But Yasha smiled and said: "I think it's very good here. There are no officers and soldiers, which means no one knows us at all and knows that we are wanted people."
Mu Feng nodded: "That's true." The sun gradually set, and it was going to be dark soon. Mu Feng and the others came here all the way from the nearest divine city, and they were already very tired from the sand and dust in the desert and the scorching sun.
, so prepare to take a rest in the city, and then go looking for
statue.
So the two of them came to an inn in the city, and the owner of the inn welcomed their arrival.
"We haven't had any guests for a long time. Please come in, please." The innkeeper welcomed them into the inn with a very sincere smile on his face.
Mu Feng entered the inn and found that the inn was also very simple. After sitting on the table, the innkeeper poured them a pot of tea.
Yasha took a sip of tea and spat it out: "What kind of water is this? Why is it bitter?"
The innkeeper hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, sir, water is scarce here, and it only tastes like this."
Yaksha heard this and said no more.
Mu Feng picked up the tea cup and took a few more sips. It was not only bitter, but also very astringent, but this was the water used by people in the city.
"Boss, let me ask you, why are there no officers and soldiers in this sacred city?"
The innkeeper sighed: "Because our place is so miserable. No officers and soldiers would be willing to come here and suffer like this. They all ran away!"
"Gradually, even the Kingdom of God no longer cares about us, and most of the people in the city have left. Naturally, the City of God gradually became like this."
Mu Feng sighed with emotion and asked again: "Then why don't you leave? Isn't it better to develop elsewhere than to stay here?"
"Hey, guest, you don't know. We have been living here for generations and are familiar with everything here. If we are allowed to leave, we would really be reluctant to leave." The innkeeper smiled honestly.
"So that's it." Mu Feng smiled.
The innkeeper poured Mu Feng another cup of tea. Perhaps he had not seen outsiders for too long, so he became talkative.
"Although our life here was a bit more difficult, we were still able to survive, but recently we had to leave."
"Why is this?" Mu Feng asked with a frown.
"Recently, there have been a lot of strange things happening in the city. Many people were left with only skins overnight, without any flesh, blood or bones. They can infiltrate people."
"And every night someone disappears and is found with only one piece of skin left. There are quite a lot of them."
"Originally, there were less than 10,000 people left here, but one-tenth of them were gone, so people in the city were panicked, and everyone wanted to escape from here."
Mu Feng thought for a while and then asked: "Could it be some kind of god or demon causing trouble?"
After all, even the city defense formation in Tuori Divine City is very perfunctory, so it is not unusual for gods and demons to enter the city.
The innkeeper shook his head and said: "We have lived here for generations, and we know a lot about the gods and demons in the desert, but there have never been such weird gods and demons that eat people and leave the skin behind."
However, there is a legend in our local area that it was the divine silkworm that founded our country of Mulberry. However, the divine silkworm had one of its biggest enemies, the Earthly Evil Snake Demon.
