Chapter 481: The Sheep Gate of the Zodiac (Part 1)
His body was swept up in the storm, and Zhuo Mufeng felt as if his entire skeleton was about to fall apart, his skin and flesh seemed to be falling away, and the pain was like countless knives cutting his body.
His internal energy was swept away by the powerful hurricane, and he had no room for resistance. He could only drift with the current. He was swept away and dizzy, and soon his consciousness blackened and he passed out completely.
When Zhuo Mufeng woke up, he found that he was in darkness. Since there was no light source, he could not see his fingers.
Feeling uneasy, he quickly squeezed the outer lion seal with his hand, and golden light shone all around. Only then did he realize that the surrounding stone walls were smooth and neat, and there was actually another passage, about five feet on each side, and he didn't know where it led.
Zhuo Mufeng carefully checked first. Except for his clothes being torn in many places, there were no wounds or pain on his body. He didn't know if it was the effect of the magic dragon's inner elixir.
Regardless of all that, the best way to get out is to find a way out. Looking before and after, he subconsciously walked to the back. Without knowing the situation, he took one step at a time, so his speed was extremely slow.
The dark passage seemed to have no end. Zhuo Mufeng used the outer lion seal every once in a while, so as to take into account safety and not waste his inner energy.
He didn't know how long he had been walking. He only knew that his stomach was growling with hunger and his legs were weak. This boundless darkness seemed to be swallowing him up. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably go crazy.
When his mouth was dry and his eyes were dim from hunger, he finally found a ray of light when he turned a corner, and the air flow speed here also accelerated a lot.
Zhuo Mufeng shook his head to wake himself up, and quickly quickened his pace, but his vigilance was still not lowered. In fact, in his current state, even a peak warrior of the True Qi Realm could easily defeat him.
The light became stronger and stronger, and the long-lost wind blew in. Every cell in Zhuo Mufeng's body cheered, causing him to surge up with hidden strength and fly towards the light not far away.
finally!
He closed his eyes and blended into the light, his body felt warm, and he collapsed on the ground without a care, breathing the fresh air comfortably.
After a long, long time, Zhuo Mufeng slowly opened his eyes after adapting to the strong light. There was a huge sun above his head, surrounded by low mountains and rivers, and a blue lake not far away.
But when you look further, what surrounds all of this is a golden boundless desert!
God, how did he come to the desert?
Zhuo Mufeng sat up in shock, but almost fainted again due to excessive hunger. He looked back and saw that the mysterious passage was gone and he was sitting on the lawn.
Hallucination? Or?
"Could it be a place like heaven?"
It's hard for Zhuo Mufeng not to think of Tianfu. The passage cannot disappear. The only explanation is that it is hidden by the formation. So it should be connected to the underground space?
But the problem is, there is no such place near Yuhua City, and he doesn't think he can travel through most of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty on foot.
As for formation simulation, it is even more impossible. No matter how powerful the formation is in the world, it is impossible to simulate the sun, oasis and desert.
Zhuo Mufeng quickly thought of the strange hurricane, but it was useless to think about it now. Filling his stomach was the top priority.
He stood up with difficulty, walked to the edge of the lake, took a few deep breaths, and almost used up all his remaining strength to rush into the lake, narrowly catching a small fish. Then he came ashore panting, and after peeling and washing it,
Break off the branches, roast them with Lihuo Zhenqi, and eat them eagerly.
Fish meat without any seasoning, at this moment, Zhuo Mufeng felt that it was the most delicious food in the world. After a fish entered his belly, his physical strength recovered a little, and then he went to the lake to catch two more...
After doing this for three times, his stomach was full and he lay comfortably on the lawn to bask in the sun.
At night, the temperature dropped suddenly, but this had no effect on Zhuo Mufeng, who had strong energy and blood and absorbed the power of the demon dragon's inner elixir.
What he is thinking about is, what should he do next? It is definitely unrealistic to stay here. He must find a way out, but where should he start?
After thinking for a long time, Zhuo Mufeng had no clue. But this guy had an advantage. When faced with a difficult situation that he had to face, he would often eliminate distracting thoughts. Since there was no way out, he would just choose one.
Of course, he was very careful and did not rush into the desert. Instead, he tried slowly the next morning, taking a few steps first, then returning to make sure there was no danger, and then took a few steps deeper...
A few days later, Zhuo Mufeng had explored thousands of meters in radius, but found nothing. The desert was endless, and the fish in the lake should be enough to eat for many years, but Zhuo Mufeng did not want to be trapped here for the rest of his life.
This guy got very angry, and no longer took it slowly step by step, but added kilometers every day. Half a month later, he was already ten thousand meters deep into the desert.
But this was not enough. Seeing that there was no danger, he became more and more courageous, and one day he actually went more than 50,000 meters away from the oasis. When he looked back, this guy was suddenly dumbfounded.
The oasis is gone!
He was so frightened that he rushed back. Where could there be any oasis in the vast distance of his sight? He had already passed fifty thousand meters, or even one hundred thousand meters, but all he could see was the golden desert and the sky full of dust.
At this point, Zhuo Mufeng had no choice but to walk all the way with a sullen face. He just hoped that God wouldn't play tricks on him. If he couldn't reach the oasis for ten days and a half, he would definitely be dried into a mummy.
The next three days.
Zhuo Mufeng ran along a straight line in the desert. His face was red from the continuous exposure to the sun, his lips were dry, his clothes were ragged, and his mood was even worse.
Realizing that his internal strength was depleted, he temporarily stopped and hid downhill in a sand dune to rest and recover his strength.
There are often scorpions, gerbils and other animals in the desert. If you are lucky, you can encounter some. Food will not be a problem for the time being, but water source is a vital priority. If he had known that he would be in this situation, he might as well stay in the oasis and enjoy himself!
The hot wind blew, and Zhuo Mufeng's brows moved slightly. The next moment, he suddenly moved to the right. Almost at the same time, an iron thorn quickly rushed out from under where he was sitting, followed closely.
It's a human figure.
The figure's eyes flashed with surprise, as if he didn't expect Zhuo Mufeng's reaction to be so fast. He spun in the air, and with the help of iron thorns, he used the cold light to attack Zhuo Mufeng like a horse.
Zhuo Mufeng pulled out the Sword of Eternal Life and greeted him with a powerful sword energy of the Divine Sword Art.
pound!
The energy spread out in all directions, and flying sand suddenly rose up.
The figure showed a sinister look on his face and rushed into the sand. Using the cover of the sand, he kept firing cold arrows at Zhuo Mufeng. A series of cold rays of light shot out in disorder, spreading in all directions around Zhuo Mufeng.
Being passively beaten was not Zhuo Mufeng's style. He stepped on Chai Ying and moved his body around faster than the figure could attack, leaving many blurry shadows on the spot.
While moving, Zhuo Mufeng held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and suddenly swept out the sword. The majestic sword energy rushed towards the opposite side like a tornado. In the tearing roll, the sand and dust were torn apart, but with a clang, that
The Taoist figure flew backwards involuntarily.
While he was still in the air, he suddenly fell rapidly and dived into the desert. Apparently he knew that he was no match for Zhuo Mufeng and tried to escape.
But he had obviously offended the wrong person. He had just dug half of his body into the sand, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhuo Mufeng swung three swords in succession. The three sword auras were actually hidden in the sand, attacking the figure in the middle like a jerboa.
.
The figure was so frightened that he jumped up in a hurry, but it was too late. There were three bangs, and blood and flesh splattered on his legs. Amid the screams, before he could adjust his direction and escape, he was struck by Zhuo Mufeng's fourth sword. This time
An arm and an iron thorn fell on the sand, and then there was a human figure.
Just as he was about to get up, Sen Bai's sword edge was already touching his neck. He turned pale and screamed: "Don't kill me, I'm a member of the Qiu family!"
Nanyang Qiu Family, one of the five.
Zhuo Mufeng observed the other party from a high position and asked: "Why are you here?"
The master of the Qiu family quickly replied: "Young Master Zhuo, spare your life. The maze collapsed at that time, and I was swept away by the hurricane. I somehow ended up in a passage, and then I ended up here."
"Have you seen anyone else?" Zhuo Mufeng thought of Wu Guanting.
The Qiu family master's eyes flickered and he said: "To be honest, Young Master Zhuo, I met Island Master Yang of Feijian Island not long ago. I can take you to find him."
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and said, "No need to trouble you." With one stroke of his long sword, he cut the throat of the Qiu family master. The latter's eyes widened and he died extremely unwillingly.
"You want to deceive me with such a stupid lie. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Wiping away the blood with the opponent's lapel, Zhuo Mufeng sheathed his sword and touched the opponent's body. There was nothing valuable. It seemed that he had been in the desert for a long time and was so hungry that he wanted to kill himself for food.
However, the appearance of the other party also gave Zhuo Mufeng a sense of expectation. Even if such a thing is not dead, nothing should happen to Wu Guanting, Meng Jiuxiao and others. He must find them, and maybe he can find a way to get out.
Zhuo Mufeng felt a little more confident during the next journey. Perhaps due to luck, one day later, he suddenly found a stone gate two people high next to a poplar euphratica.
The stone gate is gray in color, and there is a relief sculpture of a sheep's head printed on the lower left corner. The back is connected to the desert, making people suspect that there is a cave behind the stone gate.
Zhuo Mufeng stopped, retreated far enough, and drew his sword towards the stone door.
boom!
The stone door cracked open and crackled into pieces. There was indeed a space inside, but it was not big, only three feet long. There was actually a pile of round black gems placed inside.
Zhuo Mufeng approached cautiously, picked it out with his sword, thought for a moment, and then grabbed one in his hand. He found that the black gem was quite heavy and was obviously valuable.
In addition to the black gemstone, there is also a piece of parchment stacked in the inner space.
Out of curiosity, Zhuo Mufeng spread it out and found that it depicted dots at different locations. One of the dots was red and the rest were black. On the top of the parchment, the direction and scale were marked.
"What does it mean?"
Zhuo Mufeng thought for a long time, looked at the red dot, then looked around, and suddenly a bold association occurred in his mind - could the red dot on the map represent his current location?
And the other black spots represent other similar places?
