Chapter 288 Internal Force

"Huh?"

The breath coming from the pure gold crack surprised Xu Xuan.

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

Of course, it is different from the breath of this weird world. If you have to use something to correspond, it is "demon spirit".

That's right, there is more demon spirit in this world.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan stretched out his hand and put his finger into the pure gold crack.

This time the repulsion was not too high.

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

You know, there is only one reason why the repulsion is not high, that is, the two worlds are not much 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.

For example, the modern world cannot be directly passed through at once. Before, Xu Xuan also adapted for several years and released a lot of aura to let his body adapt. However, the repulsion of this world is not so strong.

"The upper limit of the world should be a golden elixir, right?" Seeing is believing, hearing is not as good as seeing, Xu Xuan took a step and directly crossed this world.

Crash!

A dizzy feeling came over me.

When I appeared again, I was standing on the ground, surrounded by dense primeval forests.

Xu Xuan took a deep breath.

"The spiritual energy is similar to before, but there is indeed a little more demonic energy. Strange, is it a side effect of the feathered man's blood?"

The birth of the monsters originated from the feathered man, the previous owner of the Bronze Temple. Before his death, the feathered man spilled his polluted blood all over the ocean, polluting many fish. The fish were eaten by wild beasts, and the wild beasts also turned into ferocious monsters.

Before I left, 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 back then.

"I hope it's not destroyed." Xu Xuan thought.

If it is destroyed, then there is no point in coming to this world, and the scrapping of this world is also a loss.

In fact, it is not necessarily the case. 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."

Xu Xuan flew up and looked around. What he saw was a desolate scene.

"Will humans be extinct?" Xu Xuan was sweating.

His eyesight was not simple. He could see the general information of tens of thousands of square kilometers at a glance. What was it like to have no one in tens of thousands of square kilometers? Was the population density so sparse? Or had humans become extinct?

There were tall primeval forests everywhere. There was no trace of human activity, but there were many monsters.

Xu Xuan flew at a low altitude, observing the surroundings with his divine sense while flying to see if the humans of the past left anything behind. What happened in this world?

During this period, he didn't bother to deal with many weak monsters. These monsters were the same as before he left. There was nothing special about them. They were simply contaminated by the devil's blood, which stimulated the ferocity in their bodies and gained extraordinary power.

It was no different from before.

Moreover, this kind of monster had almost no demonic energy. What he wanted was other more powerful monsters to study what happened in this world and why it became like this.

When flying over a hilltop.

Boom! !

The ground below exploded, dust splashed, and a huge long shadow attacked. Before the shadow arrived, the fishy wind arrived first.

The dark poisonous fog spread, covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet. All the substances that came into contact with the black fog turned into dark green pus, and the fishy smell was even worse.

At this time, Xu Xuan saw what attacked him.

A big centipede.

It was estimated to be a hundred feet long, with dark scales reflecting the luster of black iron, and its mouth was wide open. A strong suction force came, and hundreds of claws were densely packed, which made people feel cold.

It turned out to be a centipede.

Its strength was estimated to be about the foundation building stage.

"Here it comes." Xu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he really got what he wanted.

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

Whoosh!

There seemed to be a sound of wind in the air, followed by a trace of astonishment in the centipede's dark green pupils, and then quickly gloss.

Boom!

The big centipede's body fell to the ground with a bang, splashing smoke and dust all over the ground.

This is the Bifeng, the Bifeng that blows out from the body, and it is also the best way to kill people and leave the body intact.

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

The golden light entered the centipede's body, and instantly the energy in the centipede's body circulated, the blood flowed, and the internal structure was reflected in the sea of ​​consciousness one by one.

The more obvious thing is the magic blood, and the various organs transformed by the magic blood. Xu Xuan discovered one thing, that is, the centipede's brain capacity is very large, comparable to that of a normal human.

Could it be that the intelligence of this thing is no less than that of a human?

If you think about it carefully, it really makes sense. The centipede should have discovered his whereabouts long ago, and ambushed in front of his flight path, and when it launched, it was completely exhausted.

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

"No wonder the human race has almost disappeared. The monsters are strong, and with wisdom comparable to that of humans, the human race really can't compare."

This world is round and square, and many laws are different from modern times. Although warriors have steam civilization, they are still far inferior to the convenient information means of modern times.

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

"Huh?"

Just then, Xu Xuan found something wrong. There was a red round bead at the heart of the centipede, and the bead was emitting light.

Xu Xuan naturally recognized this kind of thing. This is the beast core, the essence of the magic blood, and the powerful power of the monster comes from this.

However, this beast core seems to have a new change. A closer look shows that there is internal force inside.

"No wonder, the case is solved."

Xu Xuan suddenly realized it.

The disappearance of humans does not necessarily mean that the monsters have given birth to spiritual intelligence. After all, humans also have powerful individuals. The celestial level warriors are equivalent to the middle and late stages of foundation building. If they are combined with magic weapons, they are at the peak of foundation building.

But if the monsters have something similar to internal force, then they will be even stronger.

The monsters before only relied on their physical strength. If they could generate internal strength, they would have something similar to moves. The black fog just now should be the moves of the centipede.

"I see."

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

But where did humans go?

Are they really extinct?

Xu Xuan looked around. The dense forest was dark, with a huge spider web above his head and thick fallen leaves under his feet.

There were 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, and the fallen leaves flew up to the sky, revealing the dark ground at the bottom. The ground was cracked and many tree roots came out of it.

This is not ordinary soil, but a road surface that has been artificially solidified.

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

Scattered dead bones can be seen faintly on the ground, which are human bones at a glance.

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

The dead leaves fell, as if it was an autumn rain.

In this deserted city ruins, Xu Xuan strolled leisurely.

At this moment, time overlapped, Xu Xuan seemed to be strolling on the bustling streets, and everything seemed to be restored.

The towering pavilions, cement-paved streets, and colorful lanterns hanging from the eaves dyed the city into a neon fantasy.

The chimneys of the steam workshops emitted black smoke, the city was dark all year round, and the drizzle continued. Most passers-by held umbrellas, and the accumulated water wet their trouser legs. From time to time, the speeding steam cars splashed a stream of water, causing passers-by to curse.

In an unknown dark alley, the warrior flashed by.

Suddenly one day, the monster attacked, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

The city was destroyed and the people were devastated.

Decades and hundreds of years passed.

Everything was restored to the appearance around Xu Xuan.

"What happened to humans?"

…………

In the wilderness, smoke and dust spread for hundreds of miles.

Boom boom boom...

The huge roar spread in all directions.

The source of the sound was actually 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 a person at the bottom. A black chimney stretched out in the middle, and the chimney kept spewing black smoke and water vapor.

Inside the fortress was a small living area, with a boiler room and a control room in the center, and about nine compartments separated around it.

At this time, the control room was full of people, all young people, both men and women, wearing capable warrior clothes.

The boiler did not burn coal or firewood, but a beast core that glowed red.

The jade screen showed images of the outside world.

"Six hundred miles away from home, can we really find the magic weapon? If there is no supply by then, we may have to walk back." A white-haired young man said to the team leader.

The team leader was a mature-looking, sturdy man with several scars on his face and dark red lines on his skin, giving people an extremely cold feeling.

As soon as this was said, everyone waited for the captain to make a decision.

Some people had the same idea as the white-law youth, while others wanted to continue exploring.

Captain Yuan Xian gritted his teeth and said, "Keep exploring and see, there must be a chance. Since the monstrous demonic catastrophe, the dynasty collapsed, the magic weapons were lost, and the demons occupied the world. Humans can only live in a corner and are constantly being devoured by the demons."

"We, the patrol hunters, are responsible for finding the magic weapons and reorganizing the human race. How can we give up easily because of a little difficulty?"

At this point, Yuan Xian paused and looked at the other eight people: "I know that we have been out for half a year and have gained nothing. Everyone is a little disappointed. I promise everyone here that if we can't find anything this time, we will definitely return. Gu Yun, as the deputy captain, you must also pay attention to the status of the team members at all times."

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

"Okay."

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

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

The others returned to their posts, some were on guard, some were doing maintenance.

They had to be very alert when they reached the core area where the monster was rampaging.

There was only one assistant left beside Yuan Xian. This assistant wore a Confucian robe and tortoise-shell glasses. He had a bookish air from inside to outside, like a scholar who was well-read in poetry and books, not 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 the library at home. It should be the Guanzhong area. We are almost there." Li Yang pushed his glasses, and his calm tone contained a hint of excitement.

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

The human race has been away from this place for two hundred years.

It's too far, so we can only imagine it from the few words in the book.

"We should be the team closest to Guanzhong, right?" Yuan Xian's tone was also a little excited.

If the magic weapon is still there, then the probability of it being in Guanzhong must be higher.

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 went out in recent years have returned.

They are very lucky to come here.

"The Taoist master is blessing us, and we must be fine." Yuan Xian looked at the portrait on the wall and prayed secretly in his heart.

The so-called Taoist master is naturally Xu Xuan. The portrait on the wall is an old man in white clothes, with a halo on his head, wearing seventy-two colors, surrounded by auspicious clouds, auspicious air, dragons and phoenixes.

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

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

Because the time is too far away, and the war between monsters has caused many mountains and rivers to change, and the classics are missing, the portrait of the Taoist master has been distorted.

Rumble...

The fortress advanced with a huge roar. Wherever it went, some small monsters could not stop them at all and crushed them directly.

During the boring time, Gu Yun played the guqin, and the sound of the guqin soothed the irritability of everyone.

Especially when entering the Guanzhong area, crises will appear at any time, and the spirit is very tense. If it reaches a certain level, it will cause problems if it is not relieved.

Boom!

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

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

Tian Lin shouted, and everyone immediately perked up.

The jade screen showed that there was a ten-foot-high behemoth in front of it. The outline was like an elephant, but it had red magic eyes, black iron scales, and iron pillar-like ivory.

There was a terrifying flame in its mouth.

Boom boom boom...

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

Could this monster have the strength of a Grandmaster (early stage of foundation building)?

"Fire!!!"

At Yuan Xian's command, the Black Iron Castle extended its cannon, and the magic core in the furnace began to operate, outputting a series of energy.

Boom!

The cannon shot out iron balls, hitting the magic elephant, but it had no effect, leaving only white marks.

The magic elephant was not injured, but angry.

Boom!

With one foot down, the Black Iron Fortress was shattered on the spot.

"Let's go! ! Head-on!"

Tian Lin held a sharp blade, and the icy white internal force lingered around him, and the temperature around him dropped a lot.

Huh! !

The magic elephant spewed out flames, and Tian Lin held up an ice barrier.

Others used their own strength, either flames, frost, or sound waves.

But as innate warriors, they were still not good enough to deal with a Grandmaster-level magic elephant.

"Run! Don't want anything!"

With no other choice, they could only abandon the fort and flee to the depths of the dense forest.

This was the direction where Xu Xuan was
