The forest was right at the entrance of the canyon and did not extend further into the canyon. There were towering cliffs on both sides of the canyon, leaving only a large gap that was obviously downward to welcome Hao Yun and the others.
"Can we enter this canyon?" Hao Yun stood in front of the canyon door and sent his spiritual thoughts to ask the fire maniac on his chest.
"Ahem, you have to make up your own mind on this. I probably don't know more about the Southern Spiritual World than you do now." Huo Kuang no longer has the confidence he had before, and his understanding of the Southern Spiritual World has completely collapsed. .
"Hey, really, we can't just look for it like this. The Southern Spirit World is so big, and the environment is always changing. If this continues, I don't know how much time it will take?" Hao Yun sighed and said.
"Yeah, you can't just wander around blindly. At least you have to know where the target is." Yao Li also agreed.
After a series of dangers, Hao Yun and the others became a little timid looking at the huge canyon. Thinking about it, even the forest with weird vines has not been able to expand into the canyon. It can be seen that this canyon must be full of dangers. Now their eyes were darkened, and they had no idea what dangers there would be in the canyon. It was definitely not a good decision to just run in casually.
Hao Yun thought for a while and asked: "Huo Kuang, doesn't the information you deciphered based on the tetragon include a map? Even if it's a little rudimentary, that's fine."
"Haha, there is indeed a map, but it's a pity that it's a map of the research institute, and there is no map of the Southern Spiritual World. Besides, even if there is, it's useless. The changes in the Southern Spiritual World are so great now." Huo Kuang said with a bitter smile, "Before, The Southern Spirit World is a huge pit. As long as we walk towards the bottom of the pit, we can see the research institute built in the center of the pit. However, the environment of the Southern Spirit World has changed too much now. Not only the terrain has There were huge ups and downs, and there was an environment like a forest, so I’m still confused to this day.”
Hao Yun looked at the towering cliffs on both sides of the canyon, thought for a moment, pointed at the cliffs and said: "According to Huo Kuang, the research institute is at the bottom of the pot in the Southern Spiritual Realm. If this is the case, this means that the Southern Spiritual Realm is The terrain should be high on all sides and low in the middle. Although the environment has changed a lot along the way, in general, we are moving from high to low. I think this canyon should be caused by the sudden increase in the terrain on both sides, but , the trend of the canyon is also downward, so when we walk from the canyon, the direction should be correct."
"Then what do you mean, we just enter this canyon?" Yao Li was helpless, as if there was nothing she could do now.
"How about I go up and take a look, there should be land above the clouds." Hao Yun said, pointing to the cliffs on both sides.
Everyone looked at the towering cliffs on both sides and understood what Hao Yun meant. At this point, everyone finally understood where those strange birds came from. Obviously, these strange birds should nest in the high mountains on both sides. In order to obtain food, they will fly through the clouds into the forest below, trying their best to capture the energy-rich vines. The energy in the rattan is very overbearing and highly corrosive. Most people are definitely unable to use it. However, the strongest has its own strong hand. After so many years of evolution, the formidable rattan has also appeared to prey on it. By.
"Forget it. The land above must be the habitat of strange birds. If you go up there and disturb them, the rest of the way will become even more difficult. Or, let's go to the canyon. At least you can get in touch with them. The ground." Yao Li shook her head and once again rejected Hao Yun's idea.
When everyone walked up the canyon, they could still see some plants at first. As they went deeper and deeper, the canyon became bare. Except for many huge stones, there were no other standing objects. Hao Yun and the others moved forward at a relatively normal speed against the magic circle. The reason why I didn't take the direct flight route was because I wanted to understand the situation in the canyon before making a decision.
In the canyon, just like the outskirts of the Southern Spirit World, the ground is covered with large and small magma pits. In some places, magma fountains appear from time to time. The magma is ejected from the pits, reaching a height of tens of meters, forming a Magma pillars, red magma illuminated the originally dark canyon.
The ground of the canyon is covered with gray-purple gravel. It looks like
It should be formed by the fragmentation of cooled magma. When you step on these gravels, if you put a little force on your feet, these gravels can be crushed. The gravel turned into stone powder, and under the influence of the breeze in the canyon, it turned into a dust smoke floating on everyone's legs.
"Hey, these stones are very brittle. They will break into pieces as soon as you step on them." Wanwan felt strange.
"The temperature in this canyon is quite high, and there is no water. Therefore, it should be particularly dry. These gravels are baked here all year round, and the canyon is prone to strong winds, so these gravels are actually It has been weathered for a long time, but it looks relatively complete, but in fact, it is just an empty frame and does not have much endurance at all." Hao Yun explained.
"Wow, you even understand this!" Xingyun said in surprise.
"It's just a guess, it may not be accurate." Hao Yun is relatively modest. In fact, he really just made a guess. He himself is not sure whether there is any scientific basis for it.
However, as soon as Hao Yun finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound in the canyon in the distance. Then, Huo Kuang's reminder sounded in their heads: "Hao Yun, this crow's mouth, really got it right. The wind is blowing in this canyon." Come on, quickly find a place to hide."
As the sound grew louder, Hao Yun and the others saw a plume of dust and smoke hundreds of meters high appearing in the canyon ahead, quickly crushing towards them.
"Damn it, no wonder we haven't seen any monsters here. It's another dangerous place." Hao Yun cursed.
"Everyone spread out quickly and hide behind the boulders. It's best to find a way to fix your body on the ground so as not to be blown away by the wind." Yao Li reacted quickly and immediately gave advice.
When the dust smoke arrived, everyone discovered that in addition to dust, the dust smoke was also mixed with a large amount of gravel. Due to the extremely fast wind speed, the gravel hit the boulders and exploded, forming more dust in the air. It didn't take long for them hiding behind the boulder to be covered up by the dust.
The wind came and went quickly. After the strong wind passed, Hao Yun and the others got out from behind the boulder. Since everyone used protective space, no one's body was harmed, and even the dust did not invade them.
"Haha, I was shocked. I thought the wind was so powerful. It was a false alarm!" Hao Yun was very happy and did not expect to escape so easily.
"No, there didn't seem to be so much dust when we came here just now!" Yao Li said, pointing to the thick dust at her feet.
The height of the dust was at least half a meter high. In order to prevent themselves from getting stuck in the dust, everyone unanimously adopted floating methods to float above the dust.
When Yao Li said this, everyone's expressions changed as they thought about the process of this journey. Since the dust was so thick after the strong wind, under normal circumstances, the entrance to the canyon would have been blocked by dust. However, what they saw along the way was What we arrived at was an empty canyon mouth and a ground covered with gravel. There was no dust at all!
Just when everyone started to think, they heard Huo Kuang's warning: "Everyone, be careful, the enemy is coming."
Everyone saw that underneath the thick dust on the ground, something seemed to be swimming inside. There were bulges in several places and they were still moving rapidly.
"What kind of monster is this?" Hao Yun asked in shock.
"It should be an earth dragon." Huo Kuang quickly introduced it to everyone, "This kind of monster likes to feed on earth. It is the leader of earth monsters and is very difficult to deal with."
"Damn, what kind of nutrition is there in this dust? You can actually eat these things." Hao Yun cursed.
As soon as Hao Yun finished speaking, he saw those protrusions stopped moving and their heads sticking out of the dust one by one. Everyone took a look and found that the exposed head of the earth dragon in Huo Kuang's mouth had nothing to do with the dragon. To put it simply, it doesn't even look like a head. It's just a gray body full of ring lines, with a big round mouth on the top. What's funny is that the round mouth is covered with short silver hairs, and it looks like Like growing a beard.
"What the hell is this? It's too ugly. It looks like a bug, but it looks like a dragon?" Xingyun first questioned.
"Hurry up and attack. What are you doing standing still!" Huo Kuang shouted.
Xiao shouted.
To be honest, Hao Yun and the others had never heard of earth dragons at all. Besides, the earth dragons had not attacked them. Therefore, they had never thought of provoking them at all. Therefore, after hearing Huo Kuang's reminder, they thought It's too late when you take action.
These outcropping earth dragons seemed to just locate them and then quickly burrowed back into the dust. Huo Kuang was very annoyed that everyone had lost the opportunity to attack, and warned them that the subsequent battle would be a hundred times more difficult.
"Do we need to fight them? Let's hurry forward. Will they still chase us?" Hao Yun was a little confused.
"You idiots, earth dragons are social creatures. Now you have been locked by them. It's too late to run away." Huo Kuang said angrily.
Hao Yun didn't believe in evil, and his body suddenly lifted up and flew upwards. In Hao Yun's mind, since it is an earth dragon, it must be powerful on the ground, so he might as well fly up. In this way, no matter how powerful the earth dragon is, it can't do anything to him in the sky. Unfortunately, Hao Yun was still too naive. As soon as he moved, a whip flew out of the dust and rolled towards Hao Yun's feet.
Seeing this, Hao Yun jumped up and hid. Unfortunately, he only managed to dodge one whip. Countless long whips suddenly appeared in the dust and began to attack Hao Yun and others crazily.
Hao Yun was unable to dodge and was tied to his right arm by a whip. Hao Yun was also startled, and he quickly tried to break away from the whip, but as soon as he tried hard, he realized something was wrong. It turned out that the whip that emerged from the dust was actually made of dust. Therefore, when Hao Yun exerted force, the whip exploded and turned into dust floating in the air.
Hao Yun was surprised and happy. What he was happy about was that these whips were useless and posed no threat. What was surprising was that the earth dragon could control the dust. It was indeed an earth monster. From this point of view, the magic beast transformed from the dust The whip is only used to stop them from flying to high places, there will definitely be other changes.
Hao Yun himself is a cultivator with all five elements. Although the earth element is not his strong point, he can still do it. Among the earth magic techniques, using dust to transform into unearthed giants or stone giants is a relatively basic tactic. And with so much dust here, it would definitely be a huge trouble if these earth dragons used it.
As expected by Hao Yun, as they took action, those long whips were blown up one after another, causing dust everywhere around them. As the leader among earth monsters, Earth Dragon can successfully control wherever the dust reaches. Therefore, the dust floating in the air is combined together before the dust falls to the ground. Like a wind-swept dragon, the dust rolled up in the air and immediately enveloped Hao Yun, who was unable to dodge.
