Outside the city, everyone in the Lingying Hall stared at the city gate intently, their eyes full of worry.

……

……

"This is the deserted city?"

After crossing the city gate and entering the city, what meets Yunxi's eyes is not a building, but a wide and straight river.

The river water was blood red.

Yes, the barren city is gray and white outside, but not inside.

The wide river moves forward all the way, and at the end is a towering tree, that tree is bigger than any tree Yun Xi has seen, so big that she can clearly see the shape of the tree tens of miles away. shape!

On both sides of the river, there are some beautifully shaped flowers, these flowers are the size of a baby's head, black and white, the petals are close together, tightly wrapped together.

"These should be the Bianhua flowers. Team Zhang said that the fog is produced by the Bianhua flowers. Now that these flowers are all closed, it's no wonder that the Huangwu will disappear."

Yun Xi told her friends about her analysis, even though they would not respond to her words.

Looking past the flowers on the other side, what Yunxi saw were small raised hills, and on each small hill stood a tree of moderate size. The shape of the tree was somewhat similar to the towering tree at the end of the river. But the size is countless.

From the trunk to the leaves of these trees, they all present a human blood red.

It seems that compared with the outside of the city, the inside of the city is just a little more red.

Yun Xi looked around, there seemed to be nothing but the Red River, flowers, mounds, and mangroves.

This city has stood alone in the Qingtan Mountains for thousands of years, and has long since lost the appearance that a city should have.

If it wasn't for the barrier formation on the city wall that remained far away, I'm afraid the barren city would have been a barren ruin long ago.

But there is nothing wrong with this, Yun Xi looked far away, looking at the towering tree.

At least, she doesn't have to think about where her destination is.

As the spiritual light circulated, the four of Yun Xi floated into the air and flew directly towards the tree.

But the moment they just got up, there was a slight sound on the two mounds closest to them.

The four people's eyes were fixed, and they looked over there, and then they saw the mangrove trees on the mound swaying gently, and the ground gradually cracked, as if something was about to break through the ground.

Yun Xi realized the problem in an instant, and quickly whispered: "Get down quickly."

After saying that, he led the way back to the ground, and Li Zixiao and the others also landed in a hurry.

The red trees on the mound trembled slightly and gradually stopped.

Yun Xi had lingering fears, she didn't know what that red tree was, but if she continued to try to fly down, they might be in danger.

"It seems that we can only go."

she whispered.

The four walked along the Red River towards the distance.

Chapter No.16 The Blood Tree and the Old Man

With the previous abnormal situation, Yun Xi and others became more cautious in their next actions.

They marched along the long bloody river, and their goal was the towering blood tree that was taller than the Spirit Chasing Pagoda.

"There are footprints."

Not long after walking, Li Zixiao suddenly said lightly.

Yun Xi followed her gaze and found a few faint footprints by the river.

She looked at these footprints and compared them with her own feet: "It should be male."

As she said that, she stepped on the side normally again, the sole of her foot sank a little, and the footprints were particularly obvious.

Comparing the two footprints, it can be deduced that the owner of these footprints should have been here for some time.

Yun Xi said: "There should be more than one person, and they came much earlier than us, so pay attention to your surroundings."

She finished speaking and took the lead.

Her eyes fell on the flowers on the other side. The beautiful black and white flowers by the river were tightly closed, and the budding appearance was very attractive. People couldn't help but wonder what kind of beauty it would be after the flowers bloomed.

What kind of person actually has the ability to shut down all the flowers on the other side of the city?

Yun Xi furrowed her brows tightly, full of worries about the unknown.

They continued to move forward, and the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, rivers, flowers, mounds, blood trees... If it weren't for the white bones and the towering blood trees that appeared at this time, Yun Xi would even suspect that the four of them were Not going around in circles.

"Yun Xi, a lot of bones."

Ying Nianling also saw the skeletons of those four people, and moved closer to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi held her little hand and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm here."

She has rarely seen dead people, but the strange thing is that she doesn't seem to be afraid of death, maybe because she has really experienced death, or maybe because of another personality she hides.

Holding Xiaoying by his side, Yun Xi's gaze kept sweeping across the wasteland. Suddenly, her gaze was fixed and her pace slowed down.

Li Zixiao and the others also slowed down, looking in the direction Yun Xi was looking at.

It was a mound, and the mangrove trees on the mound were shorter than the ones they had seen along the way, and the luster on the leaves was also duller, looking a bit out of place with the surroundings.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the ground next to the mangrove tree. The land there is churning, as if it had been reclaimed, and it is a mess.

Yun Xi approached there, and saw broken vine roots on the tumbling ground.

"This is supposed to be the means by which these mangroves launched their attack. These trees are alive, and someone provoked it before, and then there was a fight."

Yun Xi made a guess, but Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao were noncommittal.

Just because they don't like to talk, doesn't mean they're not smart.

Yun Xi squatted down and turned over the land with his hands without being too dirty.

The soil was harder than expected, but there was no spiritual power left, which meant that at least half a month had passed since the battle.

This is also the deserted city. If there are abnormalities in other places, it shouldn't take so long for the Tianlingmeng to notice.

A silver light flashed by, Yun Xi's eyes suddenly froze, and his movements stopped.

She fixed her eyes on a section of vine root under the soil, and quickly peeled away the soil on both sides. As the vine root fully appeared, the thing wrapped around the vine root also appeared in front of Yun Xi's eyes.

It was an extremely thin silver thread.

This silver thread is very beautiful, even if it is buried in the soil, it glows with a beautiful luster. I don't know what kind of metal it is made of.

Of course, the reason Yun Xi was attracted to this silver thread was not because it was so beautiful, but because...she had seen this silver thread before.

Yun Xi caressed the storage ring with her finger, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and a string of beautiful silver threads appeared in her hand.

She picked up the vine root in the ground, and compared the silver thread on it with the silver thread in her hand.

"It's them……"

Yun Xi remembered a past event, but she forgot the other party's name.

She put away the silver thread, stood up, and said to the three companions: "Speed ​​up."

The four of them took a step forward and continued to move towards the towering giant tree.

Even if they can't fly, as spiritual beings, they are much faster than ordinary people, and the distance of tens of miles can be easily crossed in just a few minutes.

A huge shadow covered the sky, and Yun Xi and the others came under the big tree.

Only when you really get close to this place will you understand how big this tree is.

Yun Xi raised her head, the lush leaves covered everything, and there was nothing else in her sight except this tree.

"What are those flowers?"

She saw that in addition to the lush branches and leaves, there were bright red flowers on the tree. Those flowers looked very similar to the other shore flowers on both sides of the Red River, but the color was as bright red as blood, and they... were in full bloom.

The petals unfolded one after another, and the slender stamens outlined a beautiful arc. Its beauty exceeded Yun Xi's imagination.

"so beautiful……"

Ying Nianling stared at these flowers obsessively, the bright red was reflected in her crimson eyes, and she couldn't help admiring.

Even she was deeply attracted by these flowers.

Yun Xi looked at the three partners, and everyone's reactions were similar.

"Don't look, first look around to see if there is anything unusual."

Yun Xi reminded, took the initiative to look away, and began to search the surroundings.

The three of them came back to their senses immediately, and searched around.

Like its canopy, the trunk of the blood tree was extraordinarily wide and strong. The four of Yun Xi searched around the trunk, looking for clues.

"Ok?"

At a certain moment, Yun Xi was puzzled and approached the tree.

Except for the flowers and leaves, the tree is gray and white, which is the main color of the city.

Under such pure gray and white, the black red on the trunk is particularly obvious.

Yun Xi tapped her toes, jumped up on the tree trunk, and stood upright on the tree trunk.

She lowered her head and carefully looked at the incompatible black and red piece.

'Blood? '

She stretched out her hand to touch it lightly, and the blood had already dried up.

Yun Xi looked up at the lush tree trunks above his head.

'Someone climbed this tree? '

"You guys continue to check below, I'll go up and have a look."

Yun Xi said to his partners, tapped his toes lightly, and disappeared from everyone's sight amidst the rustling of leaves.

When he came to the tree, Yun Xi was surrounded by blood-colored leaves and flowers, and the blood-colored colors of these people made Yun Xi's face pale.

Her spiritual veins were flickering, ready to release her spiritual power at all times.

Yun Xi glanced around quickly, and as expected, on the branch beside her, she saw black and red blood stains again, this time the spots were denser than before.

' is further up. '

Yun Xi held the trunk with his hands, and his figure flickered among the branches quickly, and he reached a deeper place in a blink of an eye.

Finally, she stopped and saw the white bones in front of her.

This is a complete skeleton, and Yun Xi can even see his behavior before he died.

The skeleton sat among the branches of the blood tree, stretched out his hands, and a red Bana flower hung between his palms.

This flower was stripped from the branch by someone. The petals had lost their bright red color, and they were withered.

Yun Xi's gaze fell on the neck of the corpse, where a red rope was hanging, and under the red rope was an iron pendant.

She stretched out her hand and took off the pendant. She touched the piece of iron and found that it was a small iron box that could be opened.

Opening the tin box, a small mini photo came into view, and Yun Xi fell into silence.

This is a common type of pendant in Tianling. It is not uncommon to hide photos in the pendant.

The reason why Yunxi had this reaction was because of the people in the photo.

She didn't recognize the man in the photo, but she was sure that this woman was Zhang Ting.

Yun Xi looked at the photo for a long time without saying a word, then shook hands and closed the pendant.

She looked at the skeleton with respect in her eyes.

"So you are Yuan Huan."

Putting away the pendant, Yun Xi was going to put Yuan Huan's bones into the storage ring again.

No matter what, at least let him go back completely.

She ran her finger between her fingers, and the aura flashed on the storage ring.

Suddenly, Yun Xi frowned and thought of a question.
