Chapter 44: Crazy Sand Coming
Nian and He were in deep thought and stopped arguing.
Perhaps it was a good time. After just a cup of tea, another strange beast took the bait.
This thing had a bloated body like a hippopotamus, but its limbs were fin-shaped, and its tail and neck were very long. In contrast, its head was weirdly small.
Such a low-IQ thing would never let go after biting the hook, and it was easier to catch than a dragon.
The only trouble was that it was too big, occupying a walnut boat alone and weighing down the boat.
Fortunately, the walnut boat was very close to the stone bridge, and more than a hundred soldiers grabbed the rope and pulled it onto the bridge.
Then there was a large-scale slaughter scene.
Everyone found buckets from the houses in the city, bled the two monsters, and carried buckets to the temple.
They were huge, like water jars, and the blood they bled was a lot and sticky, with a fishy smell.
He Lingchuan smelled it on the side, secretly hoping that Dafanghu would not be too picky.
In front of the main hall, the water in the pool became redder and redder.
The most gratifying thing is that after pouring more than 30 buckets of animal blood, the area of the pool began to expand!
"It works!" Sun Fuping was overjoyed, and his fingers holding the edge of the pool turned white, "Keep going, keep going!"
Finally, after the last few buckets were poured in, the blood barely covered the bottom of the pool, and it looked like only a thin layer.
Zeng Feixiong and his men threw away the buckets: "Then what?"
"Wait!" Sun Fuping stared at the water surface, "Just wait!"
He Chunhua suddenly said: "The wind in the city stopped a long time ago."
It was only after he reminded them that everyone remembered when the ubiquitous cold wind stopped?
The bright moon hid in the thick clouds at some point, and everyone felt that the light in the city was getting dimmer.
As soon as the voice fell, a series of small bubbles emerged from the water surface that had been calm for a long time, and a little ripple appeared.
"There is a hole underneath..."
Zeng Feixiong just asked a question, and Sun Fuping "hushed" and raised his hand to stop him.
The huge Mitian Temple Square was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
This was not normal in itself.
Another string of small bubbles rose.
Sun Fuping lowered his body and was about to get closer to take a closer look. There was a "splash" on the water surface, and something jumped out, almost hitting him head-on!
Others could only see a dark shadow, but it did not prevent them from screaming out loud.
Only Nian Songyu and He Chunhua and others could see clearly in a hurry that it was actually a wolf-like monster with a head, tail and limbs like a dog, but its body was covered with rough cracks, not like animal skin, but more like tree bark. And there were no eyeballs in its deep eye sockets, but instead a little scarlet ghost fire!
The direction of the thing coming out of the water was just towards Sun Fuping, so it opened its big mouth without hesitation and went straight for his throat.
This mouth can open up to 120 degrees, and it looks like it can even swallow a head. The two sides were so close that in the blink of an eye, Sun Fuping would be killed.
But the national master was worthy of being the national master. He remained calm in the face of danger and thrust his staff into the monster's face.
The beast head on the staff opened its mouth and spit out a bright red fireball.
The monster then let out a sharp scream and disappeared into ashes.
Nian Songyu was shocked, and then said happily: "The vengeful spirit!"
This monster has no entity at all, it is a vengeful spirit.
People always think that the vengeful spirit hides in the shadows of the Panlong Desert to confuse people's minds, but in fact the culprit is the three corpse worms. This vengeful spirit is the first real owner that everyone has met since entering the Panlong Desert.
As soon as it appeared, Nian Songyu was overjoyed, which meant that they were not in the wrong direction!
The ash dusted Sun Fuping's face, but he didn't have time to wipe it off and lowered his head to observe the water surface.
He Lingchuan thought maliciously that if he lowered an inch, the next monster that appeared would be able to ride on his face.
At this time, the whole pool of water was bubbling, more and more dense.
It was like there was firewood underneath, and the water was about to boil.
The ripples did not disappear when they reached the edge of the pool, but instead spread outward and became stronger, and finally raised waves.
The waves hit the edge of the pool and returned to further stir the water surface.
Everyone's face was not good.
If a string of bubbles represents the birth of a monster, then the dense bubbles here mean...
Sun Fuping suddenly turned around and shouted to everyone: "Take Duhun Powder and light the life fire! Quick, quick, quick, quick!"
This roar was blessed with true power, and the sound shook the whole field, deafening and revealing his anxiety.
Everyone took action immediately.
Fortunately, the more than 100 soldiers who were mobilized for fishing in the sand sea had already taken Duhun Powder, and now Sun Fuping, He Chunhua and others just needed to make up for it.
As soon as the pill was swallowed, Sun Fuping hurriedly said: "Hold your breath and stand by the pool. Don't look back! These monsters are more difficult to deal with than the three corpse worms!"
The latter sentence made everyone feel terrified.
Sun Fuping emphasized again: "Hold your breath, hold it!"
As soon as the voice fell, the water surface suddenly exploded!
The scene was like a volcanic eruption, the vent was the surface of the pool, and the magma that gushed out was countless and bizarre resentful souls!
Some looked like people, some looked like beasts, some looked like plants, and some had the characteristics of all three of the above, so that living people could not tell what they should look like.
But there were too many resentful souls rushing out, and people had no time to observe the individuals. They could only see the spectacular black smoke like volcanic ash rising into the sky and then spreading in all directions!
The most terrifying thing was that every resentful soul opened its mouth and howled, and the sound was sharp and piercing, full of pain and resentment.
No need to be reminded, everyone covered their ears and shut their mouths tightly.
But this sound echoed in everyone's sea of consciousness, shaking people's hearts and eyes.
Most of the resentful souls that rushed out went to high places, but a few circled twice above the main hall and flew back again!
Everyone didn't dare to breathe.
Master Sun was right, these things looked much more ruthless than the three corpse insects.
Three handfuls of life fires burned on their bodies, and Duhunsan did its best to hide the breath of living people.
Ghosts shuttled through the crowd, but they only regarded them as clay sculptures and wooden sculptures, and they swam away in a short while.
He Lingchuan looked up at the sky and found that the circling ghosts filled the night sky and caused the weather to change rapidly.
The wind started.
Twenty breaths passed.
Forty breaths passed.
Thousands of resentful souls rushed out in each breath, and at this moment there were tens of thousands, but the resentful souls were still gushing out, with no intention of slowing down.
The wind outside Panlong City gradually became stronger, and sand waves began to roll up, growing from small to large, and finally turned into a huge funnel, with one end reaching the sky and the other end connecting to the ground.
Except for the raging sand and strong wind, there seemed to be nothing else between heaven and earth.
Although the wind and sand blinded the eyes, everyone had to watch it through even if they rubbed their eyes.
The raging sand season accompanied most people in Blackwater City growing up, but how many people could witness its true cause with their own eyes?
As time went on, the soldiers' faces became redder and redder, almost swelling to the color of pig liver.
