The so-called sky fire is a kind of climate change unique to the moon worship region.
Some people say that it is caused by the power of the red moon tide, because the closer the red moon arrives, the more frequent the sky fire passes through the sky.
Some people also say that the former master who was killed by Red Moon is returning.
And every time the sky fire appeared over the sky, the entire Moon Sacrifice Domain would be bright, and the sea of fire in the sky would churn, rising from the east until it covered the entire sky.
The farther away from the east, the more intense the light and fire become, and at the same time, there were different degrees of fire rain falling.
It was not until it lasted for several months that the sea of fire in the sky would return and fall back into the sea of heavenly fire in the east, which was considered a cycle.
In this process, in the eastern part of the entire Moon Sacrifice Domain, except for places like small altars, most other places would be burned in the fire rain.
Whether it is a city or a plant, most of them will turn into fly ash.
This is also the reason why most of the cities in the land of the alliance between the two clans are made of mud and crude, only their common holy city will barely withstand it with the blessing of the power of the two clans and some special methods, but it will inevitably be damaged.
Every time the heavenly fire returns, it must begin to rebuild, and the soil must also be renovated to dispel the fire poison, which is the source of ordinary food cultivation.
Fortunately, the sky fire often appears once every few decades, not too frequent, the destruction is mainly in the east, and the impact on other areas is not serious, and it is not difficult for monks to rebuild with magic.
And ordinary people need to find a way to enter the holy city to take refuge before this, but this will cost a lot of money, if they do not meet the conditions...... Then it can only be hidden underground.
With their constitution formed by adapting to the heavenly fire from generation to generation, they avoided the fire.
This is also the reason why Xu Qing saw the border guards, they were all hiding underground, they had to complete their own decomposition before the arrival of the heavenly fire, so that they and the soil underground would turn into one.
The Heavenly Face Clan also has a similar method.
It's just that these methods are all evolved by them to adapt to this place, and Xu Qing does not have them.
At this moment, the underground where he was located was extremely hot, the soil began to crystallize, and the high temperature was permeated, and a strong sense of discomfort also appeared in Xu Qing's heart.
"It's almost close to the temperature of the magma surface, and this is just the beginning of ......."
Xu Qing's forehead was sweating, his body was slimy, and the water gradually could not be locked in his body, which made him feel faintly inappropriate, and he fled deeper into the earth.
It wasn't until a certain range that I felt a little better, but the early warning caused by the crisis of the mind and the uneasiness of the mosasaur was still strong.
So he did not withdraw his consciousness and paid close attention to the outside world.
In his perception, the sky outside was dazzling at the moment, and the magma was rolling on the sky, and with the pinching of the severed hands, it seemed to be being driven away, constantly spreading.
At the same time, a large amount of fire rain fell, and many peaks began to melt, becoming more and more irregular.
The world and the earth are filled with endless flames, smoke billowing, and scorching heat.
The degree of its horror, in Xu Qing's judgment, was already comparable to his own scorching heat within a foot of magma.
"It can't go on like this!"
The sense of crisis became stronger and stronger in Xu Qing's heart, and he looked deeper into the earth, his eyes filled with thought.
It's not impossible to continue, but there is a limit to it after all, after all, there is a squeezing force in the land of Wanggu Continent, if Xu Qing sinks too deeply, he will be unbearable.
"Especially if the fire will spread deeper this day...... If its spread power exceeds the limit of my sinking, it is a Jedi for me."
Xu Qing measured in his heart that he could feel that this was the first day of the heavenly fire, and it would definitely be even more terrifying after that.
So Xu Qingfei took out a jade slip.
Inside this jade slip was a simple map, which was given by the old man of the human race Duan Mu Zang before leaving, and he also told Xu Qingtianhuo that he was coming, saying that if he really had nowhere to go, he could come to the place where the map was located.
After Xu Qing pondered, he decided to go and take a look first, if it really didn't work, he would go underground to gamble, or leave at full speed
The alliance between the two races, away from the source of fire.
Thinking of this, he shook his body and went straight to the ground.
He didn't choose to escape deep underground, so the speed was relatively slow, and at this moment, his body entered the high temperature, the closer he was to the ground, the more terrifying the temperature was.
Until he broke through the soil and appeared on the earth, Xu Qing's body had burning scars.
The pain spreads.
The temperature between heaven and earth had exceeded the scorching heat of a foot below the magma, even if Xu Qing's body was not bad, he had recovered, but the pain of being burned was still strong.
The most important thing was that the invasion of this heavenly fire on the divine soul, even if Xu Qing had the blessing of the Heat Life Lamp, it would not be able to withstand it for too long.
This was also the reason why he was in the Heavenly Fire Sea before and could not refine for a long time.
The body is one aspect, and the soul is also the other.
Especially compared to the physical body, Xu Qing's soul was more fragile.
"Not for too long!" Xu Qing breathed all the heat, and it seemed to be burning inside and outside when it entered his body.
Without any hesitation, he rushed out suddenly, and while galloping in this sea of fire, he also took out the umbrella given by Duanmu Zang, and after holding it up, the temperature was isolated.
Xu Qing's body is loose, faster.
As he roared, his whole body set off a storm, and wherever he passed, the flames roared.
In this way, two days passed, the temperature outside was even more amazing, all he saw was a sea of fire, blurred and distorted, his consciousness was also isolated, and his umbrella showed signs of collapse at this moment.
Fortunately, the place marked by the jade slip has appeared in the distance.
There was nothing unusual about it, it was supposed to be a collapsed abandoned mine, but now in the sea of fire, it was melting more and more, without any trace of survival.
Xu Qing arrived quickly, swept around, and frowned.
No matter how you look at it here, it doesn't look like you can take refuge, even if you can enter the mine inside through some gaps, but the heat emanating from it is no less than that of the outside.
"It's a pity that the divine consciousness is isolated, and the range of dispersion is not large, making it difficult to perceive more."
Xu Qing pondered, glanced at his umbrella that was about to collapse, and then looked at the mine.
"However, with the performance of Duanmu hiding in the sea of fire, if it is really a hidden place, it is also reasonable, after all, if it is seen casually, it cannot be regarded as a hidden place."
Xu Qing thought about it, the cat's waist shook, and entered it along the gap in the abandoned mine in front of him.
Xu Qing remained silent, vigilant, and continued to move forward, he was ready to go deeper into a distance to see the situation.
Until an hour of walking, the pit did not reach its end, and the fiery power was still strong, when Xu Qing's brows furrowed, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked up into the distance.
Vaguely, he saw a figure lying there, motionless.
I couldn't see the man and woman, I could only see that the other party seemed to be wearing thick armor, and there was an open umbrella next to it to block the heat.
This was the only figure Xu Qing saw after the sky was over, so his eyes narrowed, the shadow dispersed, and he was shrouded first, until after the mood swings, Xu Qing was a little surprised and roared straight towards the other party.
In an instant, he arrived in front of this figure.
At this distance, even if the perception is relatively isolated, Xu Qing still has some exploration.
This is the appearance of a human race cultivator, whose cultivation is in the three fires of the foundation, and he is already dying at this moment, about to die.
He was wearing black armor, all parts were wrapped inside, and the material of this armor was also very special, which could isolate the high temperature to a certain extent.
The umbrella on the side also attracted Xu Qing's attention.
This umbrella is exactly the same as the one sent by Duanmu Collection.
Xu Qing thought about it, looked up at the depths of the mine, raised his hand to grab the figure, and continued to move forward.
In this way, another half hour passed, Xu Qing finally reached the end of the mine, there was nothing there, the surrounding soil crystallization, and the convergence of high temperatures made this place even hotter.
Stand here
Xu Qing looked around and suddenly spoke.
"Senior, I picked up this person on the road, is he looking for you?"
As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, a cold voice immediately came from inside the wall.
"It's useless for clansmen who don't follow the rules!"
Having said that, the wall on the side was still twisted and turned into a whirlpool, Duanmu Zang's figure came out from the inside, raised his right hand, and grabbed the human race that Xu Qing picked up from the air.
Xu Qing let go, and the human youth in armor went straight to the whirlpool, and after being caught by Duan Muzang, he threw it behind him, and then looked up at Xu Qing.
"Boy, what are you doing here?"
After several contacts, Xu Qing had some judgments about the old man's behavior and knowingly asking questions, so he didn't say anything like the other party giving jade slips, but was direct.
"—Heaven, a hundred spirit stones!"
The old man snorted coldly.
"A thousand a day!"
"Deal!"
Xu Qing nodded.
The old man glanced at Xu Qing and took a few steps back.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, the drug ban in his body dispersed, and after being prepared to explode once he encountered an ambush, he shook his steps and went straight to the whirlpool.
As he stepped in, his figure disappeared, and the whirlpool quickly dissipated, as usual.
At the other end of this wall, when Xu Qing appeared, he was already in a cave, surrounded by many mutilated statues, some without heads and some with missing limbs.
In addition, the entire cave was empty.
As for the young man of the race, there was no trace of him, only Duan Muzang sat cross-legged on the neck of a headless statue in the distance, staring at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing quickly checked his surroundings, sensed behind him again, and then his eyes froze.
At the entrance behind him was a huge wall with thousands of masks and a similar number of mirrors on it.
These masks were all refined by special techniques after the death of the Heavenly Face Clan, and the same was true for mirrors.
The Heavenly Face Clan that was going to attack Xu Qing at the beginning, his mask was also among them.
"These two races, in order to adapt to this place, have evolved a lot of abilities from generation to generation, using them to block the sea of fire, and with some special methods and the arrangement here, they can avoid the heavenly fire to a certain extent."
The old man spoke lightly, his voice with some pride.
"The sky fire is too high, it usually lasts for a hundred days, a thousand a day, a hundred days is two hundred thousand spirit stones, bring it."
The green eyebrows were raised, he glanced at the old man, and spoke seriously.
"—A hundred days is one hundred thousand."
"One person has 100,000 yuan, and you still have a snake, isn't that 200,000!" The old man stared.
"I don't have that many spirit stones."
Xu Qing said truthfully, he had a lot of spirit tickets, but he didn't have many spirit stones on his body, so he took out a magic weapon and put it aside.
"Offset this thing."
The old man glanced at him, raised his hand to grab it, and nodded.
"It's okay."
After saying that, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his tone was also solemn, and he spoke slowly.
"For the sake of the human race, I will help you this time, but listen up, there are forbidden areas outside this grotto, if you trespass...... Don't blame me for not thinking about the feelings of the human race!"
Xu Qing nodded when he heard this.
The old man glanced at Xu Qing meaningfully, turned around and disappeared into the grotto.
Xu Qing's expression was as usual, and after checking around, he made sure that there was no problem here, and he could also see that those statues were very old, there was no human race inside, but a body surrounded by dragons and snakes, revealing killing.
Although they are all incomplete, when you look at them as a whole, it seems that these statues are in a state of worship when they are intact, and this place has its own coldness, more like a tomb.
"Was this originally a cemetery?"
Xu Qing thought about it, found a statue, and when he sat down cross-legged, Ling'er got out of his neckline, looked around, and opened his mouth quietly.
"Brother Xu Qing, this place seems to be related to our ancient spirit race."
Xu Qing's heart moved, looking at Ling'er.
Ling'er carefully looked around and whispered.
"Brother Xu Qing, those statues are indeed the statues of the ancient spirit race, our clan was a snake when they were young, and they turned into human forms as adults, if they have strong bloodline, then after their cultivation breaks through the shackles, they will be accompanied by heavenly dragons, and from now on, dragons and snakes will protect their bodies, and all laws will not invade them."
"Look at the specifications here, it is the tomb of a certain sage of my clan."
"Generally speaking, the tombs of my clan contain multiple layers, Brother Xu Qing, there should be a bigger tomb below this, this is only the first floor."
"I can feel that the prohibition on the cemetery itself is still there, Brother Xu Qing, I should be able to open the entrance to the next floor." Ling'er said happily, she felt that she could finally help Brother Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked around carefully when he heard this, then touched Ling'er's head and said softly.
"No need to open it, since the current owner here doesn't want us to disturb him, we'll just wait here for the sky fire to end and leave."
Xu Qing is a person who knows how to measure, since the two sides are trading, he is willing to abide by the rules of the transaction unless it is a last resort.
Ling'er thought about it, she felt that Xu Qing's brother's approach was different from her father's, so she remembered this matter and prepared to learn it.
Time flies, half a month has passed.
The heavenly fire outside became more and more terrifying, burning the heavens and the earth, all things were gone, and all beings trembled.
From a distance, it looks like the anger of the gods, which is shocking.
The roar surpassed the heavenly thunder even more, the entire heavenly fire sea sank too much, most of the magma in it was sucked into the sky curtain, and the severed hand was gone.
In the mine, in the ancient spirit tomb, Xu Qing kept his promise and did not leave the grotto for half a step, he was always practicing, and Duanmu Zang never appeared again, everything was fine.
Ling'er is also very well-behaved, she didn't explore the deeper layer, for her, as long as she was by Xu Qing's brother's side, everything was extremely satisfying.
Only occasionally, she would feel a little useless.
"I also want to quickly digest the power of the ancient spirit royal family luck in my body to accelerate the advancement of the bloodline." Ling'er thought so in her heart and was doing the same.
And Xu Qing's practice here was interrupted by a visitor on the seventeenth day.
With the ground of the grotto, the light of the formation shone brightly, and a cautious figure quickly walked out from the inside.
It was not Duanmu Zang, but a young man of the human race wearing a blue shirt.
Xu Qing opened his eyes and recognized that this person was the person who was in a dying coma who was rescued by him half a month ago.
Obviously, the armor had a great effect, and Duanmu Zang would definitely treat this person.
It's just that the fire poison on his body is difficult to dispel, and many places are burned and withered, blood red, and the skin cannot regenerate, which is a bit ferocious.
When Xu Qing looked at it, the human race young man was full of apprehension, walked a few steps quickly, and knelt down towards Xu Qing.
"Junior Shi Pangui, thank you senior for saving my life!"
Xu Qing looked at the human race youth a few times, the other party's name was a little strange, but he didn't ask too much and spoke calmly.
"It's nothing, even if I don't take action, Senior Duanmu will save you."
The young man of the human race was still worshiping, and after kowtowing three times to Xu Qing, he got up and looked at Xu Qing, and the words came out a little nervously.
"In any case, it was the seniors who came to the rescue, and the juniors will remember this kindness."
Saying that, he took out a food box from his arms and put it aside.
"The junior knows that the senior has a high level of cultivation, and the junior has nothing valuable, this is some food made by my wife, thank you, senior!"
After the human race young man finished speaking, he got up and bowed to Xu Qing again, stepped back respectfully, returned to the formation, and disappeared.
Xu Qing looked at the food box, which contained some cooked pastries, exuding fragrance, very exquisite, and at first glance it was carefully prepared.
With Xu Qing's poisonous attainments, he could tell if it was poisonous by smelling it, and at this moment he noticed that it was fine, he raised his hand to pick it up, and saw Ling'er swallowing saliva, so he took a bite and tested it again
After the certificate, he handed it to Ling'er.
Ling'er took a bite and narrowed her eyes.
"Gurgling."
Obviously it tasted good, so Ling'er couldn't help but hear the voice of her childhood.
Seeing that Ling'er liked Xu Qing, she smiled and gave it to Ling'er.
Then he closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
Time passed day by day, and in the days that followed, Shi Pangui came many times, each time with food, respectfully,
He hesitated to speak several times, but finally couldn't hold back, his eyes showed longing, and he asked Xu Qing about the alien race.
"Senior, I heard the old lord say that you are from a foreign land? Outside...... We Terrans...... What does it look like?"
Shi Pangui looked nervous and looked even more excited.
In this life, he could not leave the Great Domain of Moon Sacrifice, and he was destined from the moment he was born, but when he was very young, the people around him told him about the glory of other races and the strength of other races.
It's just that what he saw in his eyes was that the human race was humble and was the ration of foreign races.
All kinds of misery, all kinds of sadness, all kinds of things made his heart shaken and dazed.
In fact, the answer or not cannot change his current situation, but he wants an answer.
He wanted to know if the human race outside was really full of brilliance and beauty, as the old people told him.
This will be his inner support and pride.
Xu Qing looked at the human race youth in front of him and was silent for a few breaths.
His silence made the light in Shi Pangui's eyes slowly dim.
"The human race outside lives and works in peace and contentment, life is very good, there are not many disputes, everything is very beautiful, and this generation of human emperors is even more talented, fighting with the Black Heaven Clan some time ago, and also won a great battle."
"As for the foreign race, they must bow their heads in front of my human race, either choose to attach themselves to the lower race, or the entire race will be destroyed."
"And here in the Moon Sacrifice Domain, the emperor is also worried in his heart, everything is getting better."
Xu Qing smiled on his face and spoke easily.
His words and his smile made Shi Pangui's eyes light up, his breathing was rapid, and his heart was extremely excited.
"I knew it was like this!"
"Zhou Wangbei, he argued with me yesterday, saying that the human race is also extremely humble outside, so I said this is impossible, my human race is noble, and the moon worship domain is like this because of helplessness, and my race once unified the ancients, and it must be brilliant outside!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Shi Pangui was excited, bowed to Xu Qing, and left with excitement, he wanted to go back and tell his Taoist companions and his family and friends about these things.
Xu Qing watched the other party's figure disappear and sighed softly in his heart.
He understood the reason for the other party's name, and looked forward to returning, which was to hope for the glorious return of the human race.
Looking north, it is the imperial capital of the human race, in the north.
In fact, in the past few days, Xu Qing has already guessed what is going on in the lower level of this cemetery.
There should be a group of human races there, and the lord of the country they call is Duanmu Zang.
He sheltered some of the human race so that they could escape the suffering outside and live here.
And this is also the reason why the other party warned him not to leave this place.
Xu Qing felt respect in his heart, got up and looked behind him, clenched his fists into the distance, and bent down to bow.
He looked at the place where Shi Pan had returned, and then at Xu Qing, who was silent.
After a while, his voice was a little hoarse, echoing through the grottoes.
"Thank you."
"Did the human race outside really win the battle?" Duanmu Zang looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded seriously.
"The Shenglan Great Domain now belongs to the human race, and the human race also has its own domain treasure."
Duanmu Zang took a step and arrived at Xu Qing's side, this was the closest time the two of them had met.
After arriving, Duanmu Zang sat aside and threw it to a Xu Qing wine jug.
"Tell me in detail."
Xu Qing took the wine jug, took a sip, frowned, simply took out his wine from the storage bag and threw it to Duanmu Zang.
Duanmu Zang took it, and his eyes lit up after drinking.
In this way, while the two were drinking, Xu Qing slowly spoke and roughly told Duanmu Zang what had happened in the days before, but he hid his identity and only told the matter from the perspective of a passerby.
During the period, Duan Muzang didn't say a word, he listened very carefully.
Until a long time, when the wine was finished, Xu Qing also finished speaking.
Duanmu Zang narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"This seventh prince, what you see is his approach and the will of the human emperor, but you ignored one thing, his mother's family!"
Xu Qing's expression froze.
"With him as a prince, even if he has courage, such a situation must have a deep foundation to be so weighty, so I think his mother's family may not be a human race, even if it is a human race, it must be extraordinary!"
"There is also the human emperor, interesting, I feel that he actually knows everything clearly...... Because you look at the results, the results seem to be within control."
"There is a big hand vaguely behind it, always firmly controlled."
After Duanmu Zang finished speaking, he looked up at Xu Qing and said something meaningful.
"The starting point of this matter is Fenghai County, and if I were the emperor, I would definitely arrange a trustworthy person to be deployed in Fenghai County as my eyes."
"But you can't have too high cultivation, so people will guess."
Xu Qing's expression was as usual, but there were waves in his heart.
Duan Muzang didn't say much, stood up at this moment, and walked into the distance.
"Do you want to go and see my home?"
