Chapter 576 There Are No Real Monsters, Are There?
Compared with the scorching heat of the desert during the day, the temperature in the desert drops rapidly at night.Although it doesn't make people feel very cold, it still feels cool.It is very comfortable to find a sheltered place to rest at such a time.

Just looking at the moon floating in the sky, casting the cold moonlight on the earth.Tang Xingyou and others who camped near the magic stone puppet always felt that the wind blowing in the desert tonight was colder than usual.

Standing next to the nearly half of the stone puppets excavated, Xu Haibao was also thinking about who built these magic stone puppets here.From the perspective of the buildings buried in the sand dunes, Xu Haibao felt that the buildings were more like ancient temples.

Was it unintentional to put this evil magic stone puppet in the temple, or did someone do it on purpose?Believe in the Moxiu clan, this style of behavior is indeed somewhat in line with the traditions of the frontier ethnic group.

"Respecting the cultivator's belief is obviously an act of courting death. Then the destruction and disappearance of the ancient city has something to do with the cultivator!"

Regarding the speculation about the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the archaeological community attributes it more to the deterioration of the environment.But in the eyes of many people, if the ancient Loulan country really disappeared due to the deterioration of the environment, where did the original Loulan citizens go?
From the existing ancient books, no relevant records of the relocation of the subjects of the ancient Loulan Kingdom have been found.In the limited ancient books, the ancient country of Loulan is recorded, which seems to have disappeared suddenly.Some said it was a natural disaster, while others said it was a man-made disaster.

Natural disasters may be meteorites or huge black sandstorms.If it is a man-made disaster, it may be a war or a plague.But whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, Xu Haibao felt that there might be some connection with the demon cultivator he worshiped.

According to the information of the demon cultivators provided by Zhu Ling, there have been demon cultivators in ancient times that devoured human essence and blood to improve their cultivation.There is even a magic cultivator that massacres the city and refines the souls of the people in the city.In short, the cruelty of the magic cultivator is beyond the imagination of the world.

In order to achieve his goal, Moxiu is easy to make some crazy moves driven by his personal interests.Hiding in a small frontier country to spread beliefs is also the way of magic monks.Could the ancient kingdom of Loulan be destroyed because of this?
All kinds of possibilities emerged in Xu Haibao's mind, which made Xu Haibao finally smile wryly: "There are too many possible situations to guess. Forget it! It should be a little too radical to imagine the demon cultivator massacring the city and the country based on the few magic stone puppets in front of him. gone."

In Xu Haibao's view, the ancient country of Loulan was also very prosperous in ancient times, with frequent business exchanges.Under such circumstances, if you want to spread the theory of magic in the country, you should also be vigilant by the monarch, and there should be some containment measures.

Anyone who can become the lord of a country is not a fool.Such temples existed in the ancient country of Loulan, so they must be under the surveillance of the country.Even if the devil repairs the country, it will not be impossible for any news to come out.

At least in Xu Haibao's view, Loulan, which was also called a powerful country in the Western Regions in ancient times, has a good overall national strength.If demonic cultivators existed in that era, there must also be qi refining practitioners, and they would not let demonic cultivators be too rampant.

One can only imagine the difficulty of recovering the truth that has disappeared in the long river of history only by imagination and guesswork.Fortunately, Xu Haibao didn't think too much, let go of all the guesses and doubts in his heart, and finally returned to the camp.

Just when a group of people had dinner and began to prepare for a rest.Xu Haibao, who was meditating in the tent, suddenly felt that the temperature around the camp was dropping.This feeling of coolness caused Xu Haibao to open his eyes instantly.

After releasing his mental power, Xu Haibao, who walked out of the tent, soon saw the magic stone puppet shrouded in the moonlight.The cold air around the camp was emanating from the magic stone puppet.

"Demon energy? Yin energy? This magic stone puppet is really weird! Old Tang, ask the special forces to withdraw from the camp immediately and stand by five miles away. Zhu Zi and others also withdraw from the camp. Tonight, I'm afraid There is excitement!"

"Yes!"

Tang Xingyou and the others, who stayed in the tent before and still meditated as usual, also felt that their Qi and blood became a little manic.This abnormality also made them feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere around the camp.

Under Xu Haibao's instructions, Wang Yuzhu, who was at the peak of Acquired Realm, quickly withdrew to the desert area five miles away from the sand dunes with his experienced special forces team members.But these people all looked at Xu Haibao and his party near the sand dunes.

Standing beside Xu Haibao, staring at the magic stone puppets bathing in the moonlight, Zhao Ji said with a serious expression: "Swordfish, is there something wrong with these stone statues? Why do I feel that they seem to absorb moonlight?"

"You are right! They are indeed absorbing the moonlight! To be precise, they are absorbing the energy of the moon. This stone statue is not an ordinary stone statue, but made of a magic stone. The person who made this stone statue , should be a demon cultivator."

"A person like a cultivator?"

"That's right! Both cultivators and demon cultivators seek transcendence and longevity. It's just that cultivators dig more into themselves, while demon cultivators are somewhat unscrupulous in their practice. Those who can truly ascend to transcendence are all evil spirits. .

Looking at the location of the stone statue and the outline of the buried building, it should be a temple.If nothing else, this temple should have been built by the Loulan Kingdom.It's really hard to believe why those people did this! "

After briefly explaining the matter about Moxiu to Zhao Ji and others, the four of them also felt a little creepy after hearing it.Although cultivators also kill people, compared to demon cultivators slaughtering cities and refining souls for their cultivation, it is indeed a bit too cruel and terrifying.

When everyone was staring at these magic stone puppets bathed in the moonlight, You Guangwei who had been staring at the stone statue suddenly said, "Wait, did you see that the eyeballs of the stone statue seem to be moving? Is it my illusion?"

"Jellyfish, aren't you hallucinating?"

Hearing what You Guangwei said, Zhao Ji and others observed carefully, but they didn't find such a thing.Just at this moment, Xu Haibao showed a cold smile and said: "Old You is right, these stone statues are changing!"

"This thing won't come alive?"

"That's not the case! It's just that it's still possible to bring some monsters! If my predictions are correct, the ancient kingdom of Loulan suddenly disappeared overnight, and I'm afraid it has a lot to do with these magic stone puppets.

The demon cultivator who built this temple back then probably plotted against the monarch of Loulan Kingdom.The magic stone puppet absorbs enough power of faith and the power of the moon, and then it can summon monsters for the magic cultivators.Good calculation! "

"Wait! Swordfish, you don't want to say that the demon cultivator is still alive, right? Isn't that an old monster?"

"It's not impossible! However, I haven't found any spiritual imprints on these magic stone puppets. No matter how powerful a magic monk is, he still can't resist the invasion of time and rivers. If he can't get longevity, he will still die."

While chatting with the four of them, Xu Haibao, You Guangwei and others soon saw the stone eyeballs in the eye sockets of the stone statue suddenly fall out.As the eyeballs rolled from the stone statue to the ground, the stone statue's eyes suddenly projected light, shining on the sand dunes not far ahead.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ji and others really felt panicked all over.If Xu Haibao hadn't stood still, they probably would have been prepared for defense.Even so, the four of them raised their spirits immediately and prepared to fight.

On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who was watching all this calmly, said very directly: "It seems that this time, we should be able to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient Loulan kingdom. It is a pity that the truth of this history may never be made public. gone."

Just when Zhao Ji and the others were wondering why Xu Haibao said that, the four of them soon saw the pile of yellow sand that had been excavated to the side, and suddenly began to pour sand out continuously.This sudden sand gushing phenomenon must mean that something happened.

Sure enough, Xu Haibao also said very directly after sensing the things that Huang Sha was about to pour out through his mental power: "You four, wait a while and practice hard. I hope those things will not leave you with psychological shadows!"

"Swordfish, don't scare us! Anyway, we have seen big scenes before. There can't be monsters, right?"

"There are no monsters! There are a lot of little monsters! Those little things will be more troublesome for you to deal with. Remember, don't let go of the infuriating mask. If you really want them to take a bite, it probably won't feel good!"

The more they said this, the more curious Zhao Ji and the others became.Fortunately, this curiosity was soon resolved.Looking at the black worms gushing out of the ground along with the yellow sand, Zhao Ji and the others suddenly felt that people with dense disease must have fainted early when they saw this place.

Countless wriggling little things covered the yellow sand near the temple.Just when the four of them thought about how lethal this little animal was.This group of little things that seemed to have wings flew towards Xu Haibao and his party at high speed.

Looking at the black and unknown creatures flying at high speed, Zhao Ji, who has the highest combat attribute, said coldly: "Get ready to fight!"

Only Xu Haibao, who stayed among the four of them, still said calmly: "This small animal, you should have seen similar creatures. You can occasionally see it in the fields in the countryside. Many people call it mole cricket.

It's just that the mole cricket you see now is a monster that feeds on yin energy and ores.They have wings and can fly for short periods of time.The seemingly small mouth can swallow even metal.And their venom can corrode your infuriating masks!

If you let them bite you, although it won't kill you, it will make you feel uncomfortable.It is estimated that the effect of the biting place is similar to that of dripping sulfuric acid.Feel the taste of being bullied by small animals! "

For Xu Haibao, this kind of demonized mole cricket is not worth his shot at all.In Xu Haibao's view, the monsters summoned by the magic stone puppets should not be as powerful as these demonized mole crickets.

Although this object poses no threat to Xu Haibao, ordinary people who are targeted by this demonized creature will inevitably die in the end.It won't even be long before the mole crickets may devour even the bones.

Demonized mole crickets with strong digestive power can devour even the bricks and stones of the city wall.This is also the reason why Xu Haibao said before that maybe he found the secret of the ancient kingdom of Loulan disappearing overnight, but he couldn't disclose it to the public!
