Chapter 288 Internal Strength

Chapter 288 Internal Strength

"Huh?"

Xu Xuan was a little surprised by the breath coming from the pure gold crack.

This kind of breath is a bit strange. It's not like the aura of the original martial arts world. The current breath seems a bit weird.

Of course, unlike the aura of this weird world, if I had to compare it with one thing, it would be "demon energy".

That’s right, there are more monsters in this world.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan stretched out his hand and inserted his fingers into the cracks of pure gold.

This time the repulsion was not too high.

Strange... Xu Xuan became more and more curious.

You must know that there is only one reason why the repulsive force is not high, and that is that the two worlds are not very different. The world is equivalent to a fish tank. It is difficult for a big fish to enter a small fish tank, unless the fish tank is large enough to accommodate the body of the big fish.

Like the modern world, you can't just go through it all at once. Xu Xuan had to adapt to it for several years before, and he let a lot of spiritual energy pass through before his body could adapt. However, in the world in front of him, the repulsive force was not so strong.

"There should be a golden elixir on the upper limit of the world, right?" Seeing is believing, hearing is worse than seeing. Xu Xuan stepped forward and crossed this realm directly.

Wow!

A feeling of dizziness came over me.

When he reappeared, he was on the ground, surrounded by dense virgin forest.

Xu Xuan took a deep breath.

"The aura is almost the same as before. It does have a little more demonic aura. It's strange. Could it be a side effect of the Yuren's blood?"

The birth of the monster beasts originated from the Feathered Man, the previous owner of the Bronze Temple. Before his death, the Feathered Man spread his contaminated blood all over the ocean, contaminating many fish. The fish were eaten by wild beasts, and the beasts also It turned into a ferocious monster.

Before he left that year, these ferocious beasts were enough to affect the stability of the warrior civilization.

Judging from this environment now, the situation is more serious than it was then.

"I hope it is not destroyed." Xu Xuan thought to himself.

If it perishes, then there is no point in coming to this world. The scrapping of this world is also a loss.

In fact, not necessarily. It depends on how many years have passed in this world. If the time is short, human civilization should still be intact.

"Let's take a look first and then talk."

Xu Xuan flew up and looked around. What he saw was desolation.

"Humanity will not perish, right?" Xu Xuan was sweating profusely.

My eyesight is not simple. I can see roughly tens of thousands of square kilometers of information at a glance. What is it like to have no one in this tens of thousands of square kilometers? Is the population density so sparse? Or humanity has perished.

There are tall primeval forests everywhere, without any trace of human activity, but there are many monsters.

Xu Xuan flew at a low altitude, observing the surroundings with his spiritual thoughts as he flew, to see if the humans of the past had left anything behind. What happened to this world?

During this period, many weak little demonic beasts were too lazy to pay attention to them. These demonic beasts were the same as before he left. There was nothing special about them. They were simply contaminated by the demonic blood, stimulating the ferocity in their bodies and gaining extraordinary power.

No different from before.

Moreover, this kind of monster has almost no demonic energy. What he wants is other more powerful monsters to study what happened in this world and why it became what it is now.

When flying over a mountain.

boom! !

The ground below exploded, dust flew, and a huge long shadow struck. Before the figure arrived, the fishy wind arrived first.

The dark poisonous mist spread, covering hundreds of feet in radius. All substances that came into contact with the black mist turned into green pus, and the fishy smell became even worse.

At this moment, Xu Xuan saw what was attacking him.

A giant centipede.

The length is estimated to be a hundred feet, the jet-black scales reflect the luster of black iron, the mouthparts are wide open, and a strong suction force comes. Hundreds of claws are densely packed, making people feel chilled by the sight.

It turned out to be a centipede.

The strength is estimated to be around foundation building.

"Here we come." Xu Xuan's eyes lit up, he really wanted to get what he wanted.

I saw a flash of golden light behind him, and pure gold wings condensed in the void.

call!

There seemed to be a sound of wind in the air, followed by a hint of shock in Centipede's green pupils, and then quickly brightened.

Boom!

The giant centipede's corpse fell to the ground with a crash, splashing smoke and dust all over the ground.

This is the wind blowing from the body, and it is also the best way to kill someone and leave the whole body intact.

After the centipede's body fell to the ground, Xu Xuan fell to the ground, walked to the side of the centipede's head, and shot a golden light.

The golden light enters the centipede's body, and instantly the energy in the centipede's body circulates, its blood flows, and its internal structures are reflected in the sea of ​​consciousness one by one.

The more obvious thing is the demon blood and the various organs modified by the demon blood. Xu Xuan discovered one thing, that is, the brain capacity of centipedes is very large, comparable to that of normal humans.

Is this thing as intelligent as a human being?

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Centipede should have discovered its whereabouts long ago, and ambushed in front of its flight path, and used all its strength when launching it.

It doesn't look like a monster, but like an experienced hunter.

"No wonder there are almost no traces of the human race. The monster beasts are physically powerful and have intelligence comparable to humans. The human race is indeed incomparable."

In this world where the sky is round and the sky is round, many laws are different from those in modern times. Although warriors have steam civilization, it is still far inferior to the convenient information methods of modern times.

Therefore, the tone of the entire civilization is basically based on personal sublimation.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Xu Xuan discovered something was wrong. Right at the heart of the centipede, there was a red round bead, which was emitting light.

Xu Xuan naturally recognizes this kind of thing. This is the core of the beast, where the essence of the demon blood lies, and the powerful power of the monster beast comes from here.

However, this beast core seems to have undergone new changes. If you look closely, you can see that there is internal power inside.

"No wonder, the case was solved."

Only then did Xu Xuan suddenly realize.

The disappearance of human beings does not necessarily mean that the monsters gave birth to spiritual intelligence. After all, human beings also have powerful individuals. The celestial level warriors are equivalent to the middle and late stages of foundation building. If you add the magic weapons, they are the peak of foundation building.

But if the monsters have something similar to internal power, then they will become stronger.

The previous monsters could only rely on their physical strength. If they could also generate internal force, they would have something similar to their moves. The black mist just now should be the move of Centipede.

"I see."

The reason for the changes in this world has been found.

But where have humans gone?

Is it really dead?

Xu Xuan looked around. The dense forest was dark, there were huge spider webs above his head, and there were thick fallen leaves under his feet.

There are many tall stone walls in the forest, covered with green vines, some high and some low, with regular shapes.

He suddenly thought of something and waved his hand.

Wow!

The strong wind swept through, and the fallen leaves rose to the sky, revealing the dark ground at the bottom. The ground was cracked and many tree roots emerged from it.

This is not ordinary soil, but artificially solidified road surface.

Those stone walls are walls. Because they are old, plants have climbed up on them and their true appearance is not revealed.

Scattered dead bones can be faintly seen on the ground, which look like human bones at first glance.

Broken walls, dead bones on the roadside, decayed utensils, pottery...all kinds of human supplies show that this place was originally a prosperous city.

The dead leaves were falling, like an autumn rain.

Xu Xuan strolled among the deserted urban ruins.

At this moment, time overlapped, Xu Xuan seemed to be walking on a busy street, and everything seemed to have been restored.

Tall pavilions, cement-paved streets, and colorful lanterns hanging from the eaves turn the city into a neon fantasy.

The chimneys of the steam workshops emit black smoke. The city is dark all year round. It rains constantly. Most passers-by carry umbrellas. The accumulated water wets their trousers. From time to time, the speeding steam cars splash a stream of water, causing passers-by to curse.

In an unknown dark alley, the figure of the warrior disappeared in a flash.

Suddenly one day, monsters came and the world collapsed.

The city was destroyed, and all life was in ruins.

Decades and centuries passed.

All of this returned to what it looked like around Xu Xuan.

"What happened to humans?"

…………

The wilderness is filled with smoke and dust for hundreds of miles.

Boom boom boom...

A huge roar spread in all directions.

The source of the sound turned out to be a black iron fortress. The fortress was not big, with a diameter of twelve meters. There were two rows of rubber tires as high as one person at the bottom. A black chimney protruded from the center. The chimney continuously spewed out black smoke and water vapor.

The interior of the fortress is a small living area, with a boiler room and a control room in the center, and compartments around it, about nine in total.

At this time, the control room was full of people, all of whom were young men and women, wearing smart warrior uniforms.

The boiler did not burn coal or wood, but a glowing red beast core.

The jade screen displays images of the outside world.

"We are six hundred miles away from home. Can we really find the magic weapon? If we don't have supplies then, we may have to go back on foot." A white-haired young man said to the team leader.

The team leader is an old-looking, sturdy man with a few scars on his face and dark red lines on his skin, giving him an extremely cold feeling.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was waiting for the captain to make a decision.

Some people have the same idea as the Baifa youth, while others have different ideas and want to continue exploring.

Captain Yuan Xian gritted his teeth and said, "If we continue to explore and take a look, there will definitely be a chance. Since the catastrophe, the dynasty has collapsed, the divine soldiers have been scattered, and demons have taken over the world. Human beings can only live in a corner, being eaten away by demons all the time. ”

"We hunters are shouldering the important task of finding magic weapons and reorganizing the human race. How can we give up because of a little difficulty?"

Having said this, Yuan Xian paused and looked at the other eight people: "I know that I have been out for half a year and found nothing, and everyone is a little disappointed. I promise you here that if you can't find anything this time, you will definitely return. Gu Yun, you As the vice-captain, you must always pay attention to the status of your players.”

Gu Yun is a woman in ancient costume, with a quiet and elegant temperament, holding a guqin.

"OK."

Then he said to the white-haired young man: "Tianlin, please stop complaining and be alert to the surrounding situation at all times."

"Okay." Tianlin was not complaining, but he felt that he had done nothing during his trip and it felt meaningless.

Everyone else returned to their posts, vigilant and vigilant, repairing and repairing.

When they reach the core area where monsters are raging, they must be extremely energetic.

There was only one assistant left beside Yuan Xian. This assistant was wearing a Confucian scholar's robe and tortoiseshell glasses. He had a bookish air from the inside out, like a scholar who had read poetry and books, rather than a warrior who had fought many battles.

"Li Yang, do you know this place?" Yuan Xian asked the Confucian scholar.

"I have seen similar topographic maps in my library at home. It should be the Guanzhong area. We are almost there." Li Yang pushed up his glasses, his calm tone containing a hint of excitement.

Guanzhong, this is the origin of everything, the place where the gods rise in mythology, and the most glorious era of the Taoist era is here.

The human race has left this place for two hundred years.

It’s too far away, I can only imagine it from a few words in the book.

"We should be the team closest to Guanzhong, right?" Yuan Xian also sounded a little excited.

If the magic weapon is still there, it must be more likely to be in Guanzhong.

Of course, opportunities always coexist with risks. Everyone wants to come to this place, but the danger is obvious. None of the hunting teams that have gone out in the past few years have come back.

It was a great luck for them to come here.

"The Taoist Master is protecting us, everything will be fine." Yuan Xian looked at the portraits on the wall and prayed secretly in his heart.

The so-called Taoist master is naturally Xu Xuan. The portrait on the wall is of an old man in white, holding a round light on his head, wearing seventy-two colors, surrounded by auspicious clouds, auspicious energy, dragons and phoenixes.

This is the portrait of Taoist Master circulated in the world.

If Xu Xuan came over, he probably wouldn't recognize that it was him.

Because it was too old, and the war between monsters and monsters caused many changes in the mountains and rivers, and the loss of classics, the portrait of the Taoist Master has been distorted.

Rumble…

The fortress advanced with a huge roar. Wherever it went, some little monsters could not stop them and simply ran over them.

During the boring time, Gu Yun played the guqin, and the sound soothed everyone's irritable emotions.

Especially when entering the Guanzhong area, crises will occur at all times, and the spirit will be very tense. To a certain extent, if it is not relieved, problems will occur.

boom!

Suddenly, the fortress shook, and things inside jingled, and everyone was a little unsteady.

"First-class monster, first-class monster!!"

Tianlin shouted loudly, and everyone immediately cheered up.

I saw a jade screen showing a huge thing ten feet tall in front of me. Its outline looked like an elephant, but it had red magic eyes, scales like black iron, and ivory like iron pillars.

Terrifying flames burst out of his mouth.

Boom boom boom boom...

The ivory kept pushing against the black iron castle, a large part of the wheel was damaged, and the flames slowly melted the fortress.

Could this monster have the strength of a great master (at the early stage of foundation building)?

"Fire!!!"

Yuan Xian gave an order, the black iron castle stretched out its cannon, and the magic core in the furnace began to operate, outputting a series of energy.

boom!

The iron pellets fired from the muzzle hit the demon elephant, but it had no effect at all, leaving only white marks.

The demon elephant was not hurt, but angry.

boom!

With one kick, the black iron fortress was shattered on the spot.

"Let's go! Head-to-head!!"

Tianlin held a sharp blade in his hand, his ice-cold and snow-white inner energy lingering around him, and the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.

call! !

The demonic elephant breathed out flames, and Tianlin held up an ice barrier.

Others used their own power, whether it was fire, ice, or sound waves.

But as innate warriors, they were still a bit unsatisfied against a Grandmaster-level demon elephant.

"Run! I don't want anything anymore!"

In desperation, he could only abandon the fort and flee deep into the dense forest.

It's exactly the direction Xu Xuan is in
