MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 268v1000 The desert is weird
The climate in the border area is boring and desolate. From time to time, a touch of yellow sand will be rolled up, which will rise and move in the air under the influence of the breeze.
At the border, so-called entertainment is even rarer.
Even the city closest to the border is not as lively as an ordinary prefecture-level city and appears much deserted.
The border at this time seemed even more solemn.
The soldiers held their weapons and stood by with serious faces, preventing outsiders from approaching.
The people passing by would look up from time to time, and then move their eyes elsewhere, as if they hadn't seen it, for fear of being arrested if they took one more look.
In front of the soldiers, at this moment, there are corpses placed on the ground.
The capital has sent word, and they will immediately send the commander-in-chief.
Outside the house, there is an old tree, facing Chang Daniu's room.
“I’ll try.” Zhou An nodded.
“About three days ago, I couldn’t find any clues and tried many methods, but couldn’t do anything.”
The eldest prince smiled bitterly and said: "I tried the dream incense, it's not a nightmare, and the people didn't dream at all."
Everything around him, including the sky full of yellow sand, hung around Zhou An.
The eldest prince nodded, his face gradually becoming serious: "A member of the former dynasty, a beast master."
The crow stood on the dark tree, its eyes filled with inhuman bloodthirst and violence, as if it wanted to kill all living beings.
If it is true as Zhou An said, then this is really not something they can play around with.
The eldest prince felt a little uncomfortable.
My mental state during this period has finally eased a bit.
“What’s going on?” The eldest prince was slightly startled.
Due to the reason of casting his body, it was not stuck in Zhou An's hands.
“That’s it, it’s a bird. No wonder you didn’t notice it.”
He has to set up a stall tomorrow, and he must keep his spirit intact. Besides, a single man has no entertainment at the border, so he might as well rest early.
Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be right, because when Wei Wei sees a stranger, it’s a life-threatening attack.
Chang Daniu is one of them.
Nightmare, Zhou An has encountered it before, this thing is the most outrageous, killing people through dreams.
Under the cover, there was a mummy lying.
"Then... maybe the hunting thing will be brought forward."
After the eldest prince and others retreated, Zhou An turned his head.
…
Soon, the soldiers who received the order disappeared into the yellow sand.
What's more, a prince of the great Chu Kingdom certainly knows more about these things.
This knife swept up all the yellow sand in the sky, passed through the middle, and split the mummy into two.
Zhou An used the Flying Dragon Movement Technique, like a swimming dragon, and reached the sky in an instant.
Zhou An said slowly: "You should leave this desert before the real weirdness appears."
The more Zhou An listened, the more he felt that this time it was not as simple as he thought.
The elimination speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the huge yellow sand coffin disappeared.
Who the **** would think that a bird can do things, or it is an ordinary crow?
The eldest prince looked grave. He silently pulled out the weapon from his waist and drank the strong wine in one gulp: "Everyone, follow me."
Time gradually passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was already night.
Each one is strange and possesses an extremely tyrannical aura, making people despair at just one glance.
The eldest prince was a little worried at first, but after hearing Zhou An say these words, his eyes immediately lit up.
Wherever he passed, the beasts formed by the condensed yellow sand turned into ashes in an instant.
Zhou An took a step forward, dragging the long knife across the desert and splashing a piece of yellow sand.
Like other houses, the smoke from his house was slowly rising.
The eldest prince listened with great interest. After listening to it, he suddenly understood: "Weird Wei should have been proficient in this type of beast control during his lifetime."
If the deaths of people are extremely bizarre, they are somewhat similar to this nightmare.
The eldest prince exclaimed again, the strong wine in his waist almost no longer holding up.
As soon as he arrived at the border, the eldest prince hurriedly came over and told him everything.
The entire desert has become weird and too scary.
The body was wrapped in white cloth, and only its outline could be seen.
The Golden Bagua cannot be deduced. Zhou An speculates that it is related to the fact that there are too few clues now. If he can take a look at it on the spot, he may gain new insights.
He still remembered that he personally went to one of the people's homes to watch and watch the people sleep.
One of the young men was wearing armor and had a wine bottle hanging on his waist, with the word "lie" written on it.
In mid-air, the golden Bagua continued to rotate, and threads that could not be seen by others spread out along the golden Bagua and connected to the corpse on the ground.
The yellow sand suddenly stopped, and the next moment, pieces of yellow sand condensed into the appearance of ferocious beasts, with as many as tens of thousands of them.
But there are no more clues, including the source of the strangeness, nothing is known about it.
“锵!”
And Zhou An's knife brought life and hope.
Every day, people die mysteriously, and the appearance of death is extremely horrific, as if their blood has been sucked dry by a living person.
The eldest prince took a deep breath, held his weapon, and led the soldiers towards the yellow sand ahead.
In the sky, a bright moon shines, shining brightly under the night sky.
Because in this environment, most of the people who can go abroad through the border are wealthy families.
An outrageous idea suddenly appeared in the minds of the eldest prince and the soldiers.
"solved?"
The absorption of blood gas is accelerating.
A steady voice sounded on this dark street.
"What is truly weird? Could it be that these are not included?" the eldest prince asked subconsciously.
So, now they are the only ones left.
“Come on! Damn it! Your grandpa is here!”
Zhou An narrowed his eyes. This time, with new clues, he could make calculations again.
The eldest prince lowered his head suddenly, and then his face turned extremely ugly.
Hundred meters high, covered in yellow sand, with no facial features, but Zhou An felt a terrifying and eerie feeling of being watched.
Before he could speak, Black Jade obediently entered the shadow and quickly disappeared.
The next moment, Qi surged out, and the Qi in mid-air gradually condensed, and finally turned into a golden Bagua, which appeared in front of him.
As he finished saying this, the yellow sand in front of him changed.
“These are all the people from the previous dynasty who died!”
Only when you look down from a high altitude can you see the true nature of this desert and see it more clearly.
The Holy Spirit Demonic Face looks a bit small when faced with the strange yellow sand that is a hundred meters high, but for Zhou An, height does not represent strength.
“This is just an introduction, maybe more like an appetizer.” Zhou An said lightly.
Beside him, stood a group of soldiers and the eldest prince who was leading the team.
The muscles on Chang Da Niu’s body are slowly decreasing.
The sand and dust became heavier as the night wore on. Chang Daniu even felt that he was two ounces lighter when he came back and washed his face.
The eldest prince is a smart man. He must have thought of countless ways, but none of them worked.
This has also become the reason why they have stayed here, even the main reason.
Just now, the message conveyed by the Golden Bagua told him that this was something strange.
The soldiers who were waiting in full formation suddenly gave way to a path.
He is Si Jing of Huaixi Jing, and his current knowledge is enough to match Si Jing's current position.
They discovered that the strangeness this time was by no means as simple as imagined.
After falling asleep, Chang Daniu was very quiet, with only slight snoring sounding in the room.
“Too many people have died recently.”
Thinking of this, Zhou An raised his right hand, circulated the Qi in his body, and pointed slightly at the void in front of him.
The separated parts turned into countless ashes and disappeared along with the yellow sand all over the sky.
Zhou An turned around and said, "What?"
Zhou An has long been aware of many types of weirdness, but he has never seen this kind of weirdness that cannot be found.
The entire arm is as dry as wood. If you look closely, you will find that there is only a layer of skin covering it, which looks extremely terrifying.
Eating is simple, but Chang Daniu is also very comfortable eating.
“For example, if the wielder of the sword dies, strangeness will cause the sword to kill people.”
He knew that despite all his calculations, he really didn’t expect that the person who caused these things was a bird!
Lying on the bed, Chang Daniu put his hand under the pillow. There was a hatchet there.
He was the only one in the whole house.
Chasms suddenly appeared on Huang Sha's strange body, and in the cracks, there was light flashing.
The soldiers behind him also followed without looking back...
The military orders are like mountains, there is no love between children, and there is no so-called "must stay here".
"Found it." Zhou An pointed in a direction: "Let me go and see if anything dares to cause trouble here!"
The closer you get to the weird yellow sand, the deeper the sense of oppression becomes.
Subsequently, the eldest prince reported the matter to the capital.
“How could these be them!”
“At the beginning, the armies of the Chu State and the previous dynasty were fighting at the border, and this beast master brought us great trouble.”
At this time, those strange things condensed from the yellow sand suddenly raised their heads and looked at Zhou An with cold eyes.
Zhou An shook his head: "There are no clues, I just know it's weird."
The mummies on the ground jumped up from the yellow sand, and beast-like heads sprouted from various parts of their bodies, trying to bite Zhou An.
But now, Chang Daniu felt a little worried. When he walked home, he felt like someone was always following him.
But who would have thought that Huangsha stopped strangely, as motionless as a piece of wood.
As the wine was poured down, the wine bottle marked with the word "strong" was thrown to the ground by the soldiers. They silently pulled out their long swords and followed behind the eldest prince.
He already had some visions of marrying a wife, having two fat boys, and having a happy family.
“Withdraw!”
“Let’s cook something.”
After eating, Chang Daniu stretched himself and took an early rest.
Behind him, the eldest prince and others looked excited and pulled out their weapons.
"So strange?" Zhou An touched his chin and continued to examine the body: "Have you ever considered the possibility of nightmares?"
He knew that if even Zhou An didn't understand, this matter would be absolutely difficult.
The giant also brushed the long knife, doing the same action as Zhou An.
The eldest prince didn't care much about his face and came immediately to find Zhou An for help.
Zhou An was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Do you know him?"
At this time, it was already approaching dusk, and the sunset glow in the sky was like a red cloth, wrapping the yellow sand.
The soldiers fell into silence, then silently took off the wine from their waists and drank a few sips.
The eldest prince clenched the wine bottle around his waist, and veins appeared on his right hand: "I used many methods, and even strictly guarded every household, but every second day, people would die mysteriously."
But the next moment, the yellow sand was strangely like invisible water. The part that was cut away rushed towards Zhou An crazily, wrapping Zhou An in an instant.
With Zhou An's reply, the eldest prince felt that his mood was like a roller coaster, getting better and worse at times.
Finally, this matter can be brought to an end. The eldest prince feels that he has been really depressed during this period of time. Now that he can solve it, he will feel much more relaxed.
Chang Daniu opened the door, looked into the dim room, lit the oil lamp, washed his face, and wiped off the dust on his face.
The yellow sand began to spin, flying away from the ground, and in front of Zhou An's eyes, it gathered into a huge, terrifying and strange thing.
Now it seems that nightmares can indeed be ruled out as a possible factor.
After something happened, the eldest prince immediately went to investigate on his own, but after a long period of investigation, he still found nothing.
"Um."
Just in the blink of an eye, Zhou An's figure completely disappeared from sight.
He is also in the industry. Although he has been guarding the border all year round, he has seen a lot of weird things.
Huangsha Mansion is the place Zhou Anlai passed through before. It was named because of the yellow sand that filled the sky here.
How was it resurrected?
It seems that this is a very complicated issue, but if you consider the news that Zhou An recently learned, then it is not complicated.
They were already determined to die.
As the guardian of the border, the eldest prince does not allow Weiyi to step into it, even if there is a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves.
The eldest prince’s brows frowned slightly.
“Wait a minute, Zhou An, isn’t it weird? Although this crow has a weird aura, it’s not weird at all.” The eldest prince asked.
“Perhaps, the more things accumulate in the cracks, the dredging of the psychic space will not be able to keep up with the speed.”
Zhou An continued: "The so-called weird ones are caused by resentment, and it can be caused by flowers, grass, trees, heaven, earth, rivers and seas."
The accumulation of yellow sand casts a light grayish-yellow color on the night sky, making it appear dim and lackluster.
Holding the hatchet made him feel more comfortable.
“A new variety, or something else?” Zhou An thought to himself.
Zhou An thought to himself: "This has caused such a large-scale strange situation."
On the old tree, there is a crow as black as ink, staring with blood-red eyes.
Really weird?
When the eldest prince and others heard this statement, they all looked at each other.
“Since it’s dead, it’s dead.”
The black-green sword light hit the yellow sand, and the yellow sand was cut in half in an instant.
"It's him!"
“Now is not the time to think about this.”
The eldest prince said no more, and immediately walked with Zhou An towards the city closest to the border...
Zhou An slowly walked into the land of yellow sand, holding Black Jade in hand and a long knife in one hand.
“Weird.” Zhou An said two words lightly.
Zhou An nodded and continued to think.
After the sword light appeared, it immediately fell in mid-air and turned into countless raindrop-sized sword lights, falling **** the yellow sand.
…
So the conventional investigation methods are actually useless, because the eldest prince has already used them once.
A layer of golden light enveloped Zhou An, cutting off all the yellow sand. Zhou An looked at the golden thread in front of him, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
The mummy was decayed and had a distorted shape, but it was still preserved after many years.
Standing at the border but unable to protect the people, the eldest prince felt a lot of sorrow every day.
When the yellow sand appeared strangely, the terrifying aura made the eldest prince and the soldiers feel trembling.
Zhou An frowned when he saw the situation under the yellow sand.
"I shouldn't have asked Zhou An to come here in the first place. Now, our great Chu country has lost another pillar."
At this time, there was still no movement in Zhou An. The eldest prince believed that Zhou An was in danger.
The skinny mummy sat up in an instant, and an ancient and terrifying aura continued to emerge from the mummy.
“Let’s not talk about other things for the time being. Let’s just talk about the weirdness that changes after death. If you are a person in the industry, the weirdness will inherit the methods of the people in the industry.”
At this time, the distance between the two sides is shrinking.
Yellow sand began to splash continuously, the ground began to subside, and deep pits slowly appeared in front of Zhou An's eyes.
“He alone controlled many wild beasts and brought horrific killings on the battlefield.”
The eldest prince thought in his mind: "If we can stop Wei Wei even a little bit, we can also give Huangsha Mansion a chance."
The hand exerted a little force, and the crow immediately turned into a ball of meat in his hand.
At this moment, the eldest prince of the great Chu Kingdom showed his aura as a border guard.
The crow's mouth opened slightly, and traces of blood that ordinary people couldn't see were being withdrawn from Chang Daniu's body in an extremely secretive way.
Zhou An's whole body was covered with golden light. In the golden light, he looked like an ancient Buddha, with a faint smile, adding a bit of mystery.
“Those who come to life are not human beings after all.”
At this time, he stopped, looked at the yellow sand not far ahead, and narrowed his eyes.
After the Golden Bagua appeared, Zhou An immediately used the Golden Bagua as a guide and began to calculate the root cause of the matter based on the clues provided by the eldest prince.
Zhou An let go of the black jade hand and brushed the blade of the long knife with his fingers, inch by inch, with slow movements.
In this way, Chang Daniu, exhausted, gradually fell into sleep...
Thinking of this, the eldest prince has arrived at a distance of less than a hundred meters from the yellow sand.
His current reserve of knowledge is no longer what it was at the beginning.
Animal carcasses are also as dry as wood, and the blood has long since disappeared.
At this moment, the eldest prince suddenly shouted in surprise.
Zhou An pointed to the yellow sand below and said, "This desert is weird."
The eldest prince was slightly startled: "So that's the case, no wonder we didn't find it."
Most people in Huangsha Mansion make a living by setting up stalls here, and even have a little extra money.
Zhou An looked at his right hand and said with a smile: "Of course it's weird. This crow is a weird method."
But he watched helplessly as this people died before his eyes, unable to even save him.
More golden threads stretched out from the golden Bagua and fell into the yellow sand on the ground inch by inch.
At this moment, an exception occurred.
Hearing this, the eldest prince asked eagerly: "What kind of weirdness is it? Do you have any clues now?"
Subsequently, the golden Bagua rotated faster, and mysterious and mysterious messages were continuously transmitted to Zhou An's mind through the golden Bagua.
At this point, the worry in the eldest prince's eyes deepened.
Thinking about this, the golden Bagua began to rotate continuously. Just a moment later, threads emerged from the golden Bagua, pointing in one direction.
Under the yellow sand is a huge coffin. The lid of the coffin has long since turned to decay and is in dilapidated condition.
By this time, night had completely fallen and it was dark.
Ahead, all the strange things that can’t be seen to the end have appeared.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said: "Yes!"
This is the border pass, and it is also an area beyond the reach of the Suppressing Spies.
At the beginning, when dealing with nightmares, I also used dream incense.
If he had not been called Zhou An, Zhou An would not have fallen into death. The eldest prince believed that all of this was caused by him.
“How come I haven’t seen this kind of weirdness before?” Zhou An frowned and slowly rubbed the gold ring.
He took a rough look and couldn't see the end at a glance, so there was no need to count at all.
Zhou An nodded, then circulated the Qi in his body, facing the void a little.
Once a military order is issued, even if you have to die, you must first complete the order before proceeding.
The eldest prince pointed at a soldier casually: "Go back and notify Huangsha Mansion to evacuate the people as far away as possible!"
In a desert not far from Huangsha Mansion.
Hearing what the eldest prince meant, he actually had a different idea in his heart.
The people returned home after a tiring day, and the smoke from the cooking pots rose slowly.
“It’s doable. If Zhou An takes action, you will definitely be able to solve it easily!”
But Zhou An was different. The method he used was not conventional.
Because Zhou An alone is worth everything they have, and only Zhou An is enough.
The next moment, the void changed, and the golden Bagua reappeared.
This light, with a hint of dark blue, is particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
“The land covered with yellow sand is the root of this trip.” Zhou An slowly raised his long knife.
This situation will occur even if you are guarding day and night, or even watching from the opposite side.
…
Zhou An disappeared and was swallowed up by Huangsha Weiyi, who was walking towards Huangsha Mansion.
The eldest prince nodded, and then took Zhou An and left quickly in the direction pointed by Golden Bagua.
Something happened at the border, and it was still a big deal.
As you approach the border, you can buy some gadgets from the border, regardless of the price, which will benefit the people at the border a lot.
But this hope disappeared without a trace as Zhou An was swallowed up.
Living in Huangsha Prefecture, although we are faced with a not-so-good living environment, we are actually living a very comfortable life.
The hunt for ghosts was originally intended to reduce the pressure in the psychic space. Now that the pressure has appeared, it is estimated that the hunt for ghosts will come as scheduled, and it may not take three months.
In just a moment, the sword flash came in the blink of an eye.
Pieces of yellow sand collapsed in front of Zhou An. The collapse speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, strange shapes made of yellow sand appeared in front of Zhou An.
The eldest prince laughed loudly and pointed at the strange yellow sand: "If you want to cross Huangsha Mansion, you have to pass over grandpa's corpse!"
The crow's speed of absorbing blood energy slowed down. After being caught by the big hand, it struggled wildly and kept pecking at it with its beak.
A roaring sound came.
Two young men walked among the soldiers and came to the body.
Even though the yellow sand blows from time to time and the climate at the border is not very good, the people here are still as usual, except for a little more fear when walking.
The eldest prince waved his hand decisively without hesitation and led the soldiers to evacuate from the desert.
To say that the most legendary young generation in the Chu Kingdom today is none other than Zhou An.
While the two were communicating like this, something abnormal finally appeared on the coffin made of yellow sand where it was covered with yellow sand.
“Even if he was trapped by the yellow sand, Zhou An did not die!”
Chang Daniu, who lost his parents since he was a child, is very skilled in making fire and cooking.
Looking through Zhou An's perspective, he could see that in the middle of the desert, the weirdness of everything he could see was gradually increasing.
One of the corpses had an arm that was not covered and exposed from the white cloth.
But on this hand, a layer of golden light emerged, as holy as a Buddha, and people couldn't help but worship.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and covered the crow.
They were still prepared to help, but in the current situation, it seemed that there was no need to help at all.
If they retreat again, they will have no way to retreat, because behind them is Huangsha Mansion.
The long knife was stabbed out by Zhou An in an instant, and a crisp sound was heard in mid-air. Countless black-green knife lights poured down along with the knife.
Hands are held in the shape of chicken claws, with protruding bones, as if they had suffered great pain during their lifetime.
"It took a lot of effort to kill him, but I didn't expect that it would turn out to be weird."
So things like face are really not important to the eldest prince.
As Zhou An brushed the long knife, behind Zhou An, the light of the Holy Spirit Demonic Body condensed, and a ten-meter-tall giant appeared.
At this moment, Zhou An turned his head and looked at the eldest prince.
If it can be solved, it can be solved a long time ago, saving many people from worrying about their lives.
The eldest prince held the wine bottle at his waist and relaxed it slightly.
“How long did it happen?” Zhou An opened a white cloth, looked at the charred and dried corpse under the white cloth, and frowned.
That gaze was filled with bloodthirsty and coldness, as if it wanted to destroy all living creatures.
“I’m here to give you a ride.”
Zhou An looked around with serious eyes.
In addition, beside the mummies, there are the carcasses of various animals.
“It’s not that simple.”
The golden gossip continues.
When this momentum appeared, the mummy's eyes immediately glanced at Zhou An.
Zhou An narrowed his eyes, looked up and down, and said, "There is something."
The soldiers did not speak, but they all expressed their attitude through actions. Everyone held the weapon with a steady hand.
“Boom!”
The eldest prince and others, who were far away from the desert, were observing from a distance.
The yellow sand coffin is like fire meeting water, dissipating rapidly.
After a while, Zhou An waved his hand and completely dispersed the golden gossip in front of him.
Zhou An casually shook his hand and shook off the meat paste, as if it had never happened before.
"Zhou An, you are Si Jing from Huaixi Jing. I think you should be specifically responsible for this line of work. Maybe you can find a way."
The eldest prince said uneasily: "But at the beginning, we had already taken measures to resolve the grievances. How could the dead people at the frontier pass be resurrected?"
A dark green sword light emerged in mid-air, expanded instantly, and transformed into a terrifying sword light.
Hearing this, Zhou An fell into deep thought.
But at this moment, Zhou An suddenly said something truly strange, which left them a little confused.
Because every day, people will die, and the death of every person will cause him to fall into pain.
The eldest prince and the soldiers could not help but be stunned when they saw Zhou An showing off his power here.
Another young man held a woman in black with a forbidden beauty in one hand. The other hand was free, and the ring on his **** glowed with dark light, which was extremely conspicuous.
“Let’s go and guard first.” Zhou An said.
With such thoughts, the eldest prince had more and more doubts in his heart.
Zhou An took another step forward and stabbed straight away.
This entire coffin is actually made of yellow sand. Zhou An estimated that this thing was condensed by instinct after it was formed strangely.
Lately, too many lives have happened, and he must be careful.
Now, Chang Daniu has reached the age of marriage. Yesterday, he asked the matchmaker to find a girl to marry with. It is said that she is from a good family not far next door.
The dark green sword light emerged. Under Zhou An's control, it changed from vertical to sweeping. With Zhou An as the center, it spread rapidly like a lake surface stirred up by water waves.
On the side of the eldest prince, looking at Zhou An, he could not find any clues, and the sadness in his eyes once again emerged.
It is impossible to stop. It is best to give them a chance to survive. This is unreliable.
Zhou An stuck the long knife on the yellow sand, looked at the void not far ahead, and said slowly.
But it would take about ten days to drive from the nearest city. This kind of time would be extremely anxious for the eldest prince.
This desert is trembling rapidly in an irregular state.
These beasts condensed with yellow sand, even those in the industry will find them shocking.
Although they were wrapped in white cloth, so many corpses were placed on the ground, and the impact they brought to others was extremely powerful.
In their view, Zhou An was swept away by the yellow sand, which was a disaster.
Fear comes from the recent murder case in Huangsha Mansion, which makes people panic, as if there are rats smacking in their hearts.
“That’s all, it would be a wonderful thing to die together with Zhou An.”
And just today, Zhou An arrived, which cheered up the eldest prince.
Zhou An didn't say anything nonsense, because Wei Wei couldn't understand and he didn't bother to speak.
"Your Highness, I will stay here for a day to observe whether anything strange appears again and see if I can find any clues." Zhou An said.
This idea just appeared, and soon it was confirmed.
A voice sounded slowly in the darkness. Even the yellow sand in the sky could not suppress the voice.
“It’s really hard to kill, but luckily, I can kill it.” (End of this chapter)
