The setting sun gradually set, leaving only the red sunset glow on the horizon.
Trees that emanated jade-green light, violet flowers the size of washbasins, and strange trees with red berries … the green-robed elder might be able to recognize these three types of trees.
However, after killing the three carrion otters, Wei Suo forcefully used his true essence, causing the meridians and internal organs within his body to reopen. Most of his previous efforts had been in vain, and now, he couldn't even gather a single strand of true essence to activate the bracelets to take out the Spirit Raising Pot. When the last scavenger finally dragged him out, he stabbed his arm hard and even though he managed to pull out the scavenger's throat and kill it, the other half of his body was badly ruptured and he could no longer move.
He could even clearly feel that many broken bones that had just connected back together had shattered once again inside his body, and many broken meridians and internal organs had started bleeding again.
"To think that I would fall here in the end." Sitting on the ground, the Purple Flame Beetle looked at Wei Suo, who was at the end of the horizon with a red sunset. An extremely bitter expression appeared on its face as it let out a sigh.
Not long after he let out this sigh, two pair of oily green eyes appeared from the ruins to the left of Wei Suo, and quickly walked towards where Wei Suo was.
Two more scavengers.
Although Wei Suo used the Purple Flame Beetle to escape from the Northern Spiritual City, this Purple Flame Beetle seemed to be a rare delicacy for scavengers. They were attracted to him as they pa.s.sed by.
Normally, this kind of Level 4 demon beast could be easily killed with a flick of a finger by Wei Suo. However, right now, Wei Suo was so injured that he couldn't even move half his body. He couldn't even leave this Purple Flame Beetle. These two demon beasts were definitely not something he could deal with.
"Eh?"
However, Wei Suo's eyebrows suddenly twitched, and he forcefully took off his bangle and shoved it into his pocket.
At this moment, he actually felt that two cultivators had entered his spiritual sense range. They came from the right side of his body and seemed to have heard his sigh.
This city that was completely lifeless was actually filled with cultivators?
In just a split-second, one of the two scavengers had reached the bottom of the purple flame beetle. A pungent smell wafted through the air.
"Rotten otter!" There was indeed a surviving fellow Daoist! He's not dead yet! "
However, at this moment, a somewhat m.u.f.fled voice sounded. At the same time, a "chi" sound was heard, and a green fireball hit the scavenger below the Purple Flame Beetle.
The scavenger was knocked over twice. The scales on its head were cracked, but it didn't look like it was heavily injured. With a roar, it and the other scavenger ignored Wei Suo and pounced towards the back of Wei Suo.
At this moment, Wei Suo had already turned around with some difficulty.
Behind him were indeed two cultivators.
One of these two cultivators was an old man in his fifties. He wore a black leather robe and looked somewhat skinny. His hair was slightly yellow. The other cultivator, on the other hand, was a st.u.r.dy young man wearing yellow clothes.
At the same time as Wei Suo was sizing up the two people, the two of them were also sizing up Wei Suo. When Wei Suo was covered in blood, the two of them were a little confused.
"Pah!" A golden square stamp was cast by a skinny old man in his fifties. The seal smashed into one of the scavengers, causing it to sink to the ground and stop moving.
"Fellow Daoist, where did you come from?" Are you heavily injured? " At the same time, the skinny old man in black robe asked Wei Suo.
"I am from Northern Spiritual City." Wei Suo's eyes flashed, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm too heavily injured right now, I can barely move."
"Northern Spiritual City?"
The skinny old man's body trembled slightly, but he did not stop at all. He took out the s.h.i.+ning golden square imprint and with a single attack, he completely suppressed the young man who was beating up the other one.
"Let's go!"
After killing the two carrion eagles, the skinny old man in black robes and the simple and honest young cultivator didn't hesitate at all. They rushed to the front of Wei Suo and made a silent gesture towards him. Following which, the honest-looking young cultivator immediately carried Wei Suo on his back and flew in the direction the two of them came from.
The black-robed old man and the simple and honest young cultivator stopped in front of a pile of rubble. Then, the black-robed old man lifted a large piece of rock, and below it, a pa.s.sage that seemed to have been dug by hand appeared. Then, the black-robed old man and the honest young cultivator carrying Wei Sou immediately rushed in, and once again covered the huge rock above.
Beneath the pile of rubble was a simple and crude stone room. Furthermore, there was a small formation on the ground that emitted a faint golden l.u.s.ter and a thick metallic aura.
Only after reaching this simple and crude stone room did the black-robed old man and the honest-looking young cultivator let out a sigh of relief.
"I wonder what my friend's name is? What kind of injury did you suffer?" Do you need any healing pills? " After which, the black robed skinny old man and the simple and honest young cultivator cautiously put Wei Suo down, and at the same time, sized him up.
"Next season, Li Jun suffered a collision with a brute force demon beast. Half of her body's internal organs were severely damaged, so she is temporarily unable to move. However, I have already consumed a pill. As long as there are no more demonic beasts attacking me and can help me heal my injuries, there shouldn't be any problems. Thank you two dao friends for saving my life. I wonder what you two Fellow Daoists are called? Are you a cultivator from Guan Shan City? " When Wei Suo saw the appearance of the black-robed old man and the honest-looking young cultivator, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, this black robed skinny old man and the simple and honest young cultivator were not cruel and merciless cultivators that would kill people for their treasures.
"Oh, so it's fellow Daoist Ji." The black robed elder looked at Wei Suo and pointed at the simple and honest youth beside him. "My surname is Kong. I was originally the shopkeeper of the jade shop in Valley City. This is my disciple, Liu Cheng."
"You two came from Valley City?" A wry smile appeared on Wei Suo's face once again. Even though he was unable to use his Qi Method, he could tell that the old man's cultivation base was at most at the third level of the Revolving Core realm while the young man's cultivation was at most at the first level of the Revolving Core realm. Furthermore, these two were actually just shopkeepers and shop a.s.sistants. He, a dignified Aurous Core stage cultivator, was actually saved by a shopkeeper and shop a.s.sistant. His current situation was simply too miserable.
"We came here from Valley City. I never thought that I would meet a fellow cultivator from Northern Spiritual City here. " The skinny old man in black took a deep breath and looked at Wei Suo with a complicated expression, "I wonder how is the situation in the Northern Spiritual City?"
"Northern Spiritual City has been completely destroyed. Other than the thousands of cultivators who escaped from the ancient transportation formation with the help of a few Aurous Core stage cultivators, I'm afraid not many have escaped. " As Wei Suo slowly circulated his true essence to heal his wounds, he looked at Shopkeeper Kong and the honest youth Liu Cheng and asked, "Shopkeeper Kong, what's the situation in the Valley City like?"
"The Valley's Mining City has been completely destroyed by the horde of beasts." Manager Kong and Liu Cheng's faces instantly darkened. "I'm afraid not many people escaped."
"Manager Kong, Fellow Liu, how did you escape to this city?" Shopkeeper Kong and Liu Cheng's reply were within Wei Suo's expectations. The distance between the Northern Spiritual City and the Valley was around twenty thousand miles. It was impossible for them to survive this kind of beast horde. Right now, Wei Suo only wanted to know how much Shopkeeper Kong and Liu Cheng knew about the current situation in the northern part of the Profound Sky Continent. After all, he had been unconscious for around ten days, so he was completely unaware of the current situation. Besides, Wei Suo also felt that with Keeper Kong and Liu Cheng's cultivations, it was quite unbelievable that they could travel seventy to eighty thousand miles to get to Guan Shan City.
"It was pure luck that we were able to escape to this place. The main thing is that you relied on this formation to be friends with me. " He pointed at the small formation on the ground and explained, "When the beast wave broke out, my disciple and I happened to have a good friend. We also had a shop in the Valley Mine City, which was the money manager. We rushed to the Sky Jewel City to partic.i.p.ate in a small auction. At that time, I was on my way to the Sky Glory City. "
"Later on, when the beast tide broke out, Manager Qian and I immediately went into hiding. This array of mine can let the demon beasts mistakenly think that the surroundings are a gold mine, so we hid underground. The earth escaping demon beasts didn't pa.s.s through our hiding place and luckily survived. If we weren't rus.h.i.+ng to the Wasteland of Tianguang City, and were to have our conversation in the nearby areas of Tianguang City and the Valley of Mines, then even hiding like this would have been useless and would definitely be unable to survive. This was because the demonic beasts surrounding the city were too dense, and the ground beneath the city was riddled with holes. "With so many powerful Earth Escape Demonic Beasts, even if we thought it was a gold mine, we would probably force our way through it. We definitely wouldn't be able to hide."
"We hid for three days in an underground area in the middle of the valleys, mines, and the wastelands of the Sky Glory City. After feeling that the number of demon beasts in our surroundings had become spa.r.s.e, we then rushed to the Blue Luan City. After that, we arrived at Guan Shan City."
At this point, Shopkeeper Kong's eyes unconsciously revealed a terrified look, "We expected that the Great Mi Sect would have a few Jindan Stage cultivators and many powerful cultivators. We should be able to guard the city, but once we rushed to the city, it would be relatively safe, but we didn't expect that by the time we arrived, it would already be a wasteland. "The entire Qingluo City no longer exists, we haven't even seen a single living cultivator."
"Is Qingluo City similar to this city?" Wei Suo frowned slightly. Right now, he was most concerned about the level of the beast tide and whether it was suppressed or not. If it wasn't, then where were all the demonic beasts going? Why was there such a deathly silence in the vicinity of the city?
