Time freezes.
Immediately afterwards,
The scene in front of Yunfan's eyes changed rapidly as if the video had been turned up several times.
The members of the scientific expedition team followed the girl onto the helicopter and flew towards the red sun in the distance.
The next second,
A vast desert as vast as the sea comes into view.
The helicopter parked on the apron, and the group drove out of the local city and deep into the desert.
Pulling out a sheepskin map from the travel bag behind his back, the old professor lowered his head and silently identified the Mohu symbol that appeared on it, giving directions to the convoy from time to time.
Looking around, rows of motorcades shuttled through the desert like long queues, leaving behind traces of vehicles.
boom!
boom!
Seeing this convoy running quickly as if it knew its destination, some teams around it, like headless flies, came closer and followed the convoy, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
"kill."
The girl sitting in the car spoke coldly.
The machine gun on the roof of the car suddenly roared wildly, and tracer bullets flashed with dangerous flames.
boom!
Several camels and the people riding on them were shot through by bullets and turned into pieces.
The driver's body collapsed, and the bullet-riddled vehicle suddenly lost control.
Seeing this, the rest of the followers wanted to escape;
But this group of people was obviously not vegetarian, and they were not given a chance at all.
After a round of killing, the surrounding area became much quieter.
Several rounds of day and night change,
They could see fewer and fewer expeditions.
The old professor stayed awake all day, analyzing the sheepskin map that no one else could understand with his bloodshot eyes, and muttering something in his mouth.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
The next moment, the scene in front of me changed again.
"Yes, this is it!"
The old professor shouted excitedly.
Under the light of the setting sun, Yunfan saw clearly a group of buildings in the distance.
Buzz!
The car turned on full power and sped out.
...
The screeching sound of brakes rang in my ears, followed by a series of slamming doors.
"Yes, it's really here." The old professor wriggled his chapped lips, "The Witch...and the City of Alchemy!"
"I'm back."
The girl in front gently stroked the towering stone pillars with her fingertips, looking disappointed.
In a blink of an eye,
Hundreds of years passed,
And this ancient city that once led the world to glory has long been lost in the long river of history.
But the girl felt,
The scene of living here is still vivid in my mind.
Those people, those things,
As if it is always by your side,
Never far away.
"There seems to be something blocking my ability here." The old professor raised the sheepskin map in his hand, and the words and symbols on it began to disappear, "The map is invalid."
"It's so strange here! I haven't seen the door after walking for so long. How are we going to get in?"
A scientific expedition team member interrupted.
The old professor who led the team turned his attention to the mysterious girl, wanting to ask her to decide on the matter, but found that the girl was already pushing a wheelchair alone, walking in front of everyone, almost out of everyone's sight.
The group of people hurriedly chased after her and trotted all the way before following the girl's footsteps.
"How can she walk so fast while pushing a wheelchair!"
A sweaty scientific expedition team member complained breathlessly.
And at this time,
The girl finally stopped.
Everyone ran for a few more minutes before finally catching up with him.
"This is..." The old professor stepped forward and wanted to talk, but he saw the girl lowering her head and staring at the ground, so he also lowered his head and looked down, "Some kind of magic circle in the east!?"
"I remember this kind of thing, it seems to be called..."
"Gossip."
The girl answered.
On the ground, in the center of a huge alchemical formation, there was a Bagua formation that clearly did not belong to this era.
Dazzling light burst out from the junction between the Bagua array and the edge of the alchemy array, mixed with faint thunder at the same time.
In the center of the Bagua array is a round hole large enough to accommodate several people.
"Is this the entrance they forcibly opened back then? The magic circle that sealed this place was destroyed by those visitors from the East a hundred years ago."
The old professor's eyes quickly scanned the mummies outside the formation. Corpses wearing yellow robes and some monsters that were obviously not human were lying on the ground.
"It seems that those guys from the East were not in the same group back then."
"It's so tragic."
One of the scientific expedition team members couldn't help but frown.
but,
How can I get in?
They don't understand this Eastern formation. If they break in forcefully, they will probably become a dead body here.
Just when the scientific expedition team was confused,
The girl slowly extended her palm toward the ground.
Buzz!
The alchemy circle began to tremble violently, bursting out with a powerful force.
The Bagua array melted rapidly like an ice cube encountering flames. In the end, only the square hole in the middle was left.
"Go down and have a look."
The girl gave the order and sent a strong man with a gun who followed her into the cave.
But just as half of the man's waist reached into the void, the flames and violent winds of ignorance came from the void and wrapped around his body.
call!
The strong man didn't even have time to cry out, and instantly turned into powder.
Immediately afterwards, a red blood light floated out of his body, and the dazzling blood red condensed into a bamboo basket suspended by a balloon, like some kind of mark.
"Is it the power of the executioner that it rejects?"
"Or more accurately, the authority of a higher-ranking executioner?"
The girl waved her hand, and the bloody cradle sank into her palm. She cast a murderous gaze on the scientific expedition team.
"Then if it's a human, there should be no problem."
next moment,
The earth trembled.
The four poles of the alchemy circle - earth, water, fire, and wind - lighted up with the corresponding elements, and a powerful suction force came out from the central circular hole.
There was no time to say anything. In the blink of an eye, the scientific expedition team was pulled into the deep cave by the brute force and disappeared.
"well..."
The girl raised her slender palms and placed a red witch hat on her head.
The scene in front of Yunfan changed again.
He saw the city of witches and alchemy from ancient times.
At that time, this place was not the desert of later generations, but an oasis full of green grass and flowers.
Two figures, one large and one small, sat on the top of the city wall, looking at the endless distance.
"Mom." The little girl hugged her mother's arm with both hands and shook. "When can I become a real witch? I want to fly in the sky and talk to animals."
"Then you have to wait until you grow up." The big witch with a kind face held up her daughter's face and looked at the pale red eyes, "So grow up quickly, baby."
She picked up the small red pointed witch hat and placed it on her daughter's head.
At this time, the sun was burning like fire.
Yunfan also witnessed the decline of this big city.
The oasis was eroded by the desert, and the former city on the ground was completely swallowed up and buried in the endless yellow sand.
Yunfan also witnessed a tragic fight.
Countless Taoist priests and evil spirits fought desperately on the ground.
Roar!
A flash of ink light and shadow tore through the void, and a murderous beggar with a golden dragon crown on his head jumped up.
"Fuck you!" it roared at the sun, "Son of a bitch, let me see what else you can do to control me this time!"
...
then,
The scene turned, and two teams appeared in front of the strangers.
They all used some method to avoid the suppression of the Bagua array, and the whole team entered the Huangsha Ancient City.
Judging from the time points, these two teams should be one step ahead of them.
"It turns out that the purpose of the tramp is really the "Human Body Refining Array"... Does it want to use this to suppress the dragon..."
""Human Body Refining Array"..." The voice in my ears was full of resentment and reminiscence, "This is another way to create a powerful executioner after Leviathan's pollution power..."
Create an executioner?
Yun Fan suddenly trembled and spoke uncontrollably: "Create a powerful executioner? How strong is it?"
"The strongest one has become an extremely powerful executioner in just two hundred years. The newly rising woman in the East."
The sound is getting closer.
Crunch!
A huge force grabbed his neck, and a feeling of suffocation spread over him.
A red and slightly angry face came into Yunfan's eyes.
"Dulles? Ha, your disguise is really good."
"I almost didn't realize it was you."
"Don't be like this, Master Hong." The gentle scholar-looking man raised his hands, "I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."
"I promise."

I may have to rest for a few days, I'm a little tired.
