The vast and boundless spiritual world.
The huge sun hangs high in the sky, pouring bright sunlight on the earth.
Lin Li's figure appeared out of thin air, the sun fell on his body, and he felt very hot instantly.
"Why is the sun in the spirit world emitting so much sunlight today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Li was stunned by the sight in front of him.
All around was a piece of scorched earth, devastated and without any life at all.
"Isn't this the misty jungle? How did it become like this?"
Lin Li's face was full of shock. He definitely did not remember the place he left at that time.
The misty jungle is full of life, with towering trees growing everywhere.
The lifeless scorched earth in front of us is a world of difference.
"Did something go wrong with that arched stone door and sent me to another place?"
Lin Li was very confused. He didn't think that the lifeless scorched earth in front of him was a misty jungle.
Then his feet hit the ground hard, and his body instantly rose up from the ground and flew high into the sky.
In a few seconds, Lin Li quickly lifted off and stood hundreds of meters above the ground.
Standing high and seeing far away, Lin Li looked around at the moment and opened his mouth in shock.
As far as the eye could see, there was charred land with no signs of life at all.
"That mountain... looks familiar."
Lin Li saw a small mountain in front of him on the left. The shape of the mountain was quite special, and it looked like a buffalo lying on the ground.
Before, he was looking for prey in the misty jungle and encountered a hill of this shape.
Now that I see this hill, the memory immediately comes to mind.
Just now I didn't believe that the scorched land in front of me was a misty jungle, but I had to believe it now.
"What happened in the past few days when I left, to turn the misty jungle into this?"
Lin Li was greatly shocked. He had not seen him for just a few days, and the vibrant misty jungle turned into this. Anyone would be shocked by the scorched earth.
"Huh..."
The breeze blew, and Lin Li's clothes were gently swayed by the wind.
He quickly calmed down and then looked around again.
There are many powerful alien beasts living in the dangerous misty jungle. Last time, Lin Li was besieged by several third-level alien beasts and was forced to leave.
Now that the misty jungle has become extremely desolate, the weaker beasts will most likely be wiped out, but those third-level beasts may survive due to their strong strength.
Lin Li thought about searching to see if he could find any surviving third-level beasts and learn about the situation from the other party.
…………
Time passed and half an hour passed.
The vast charred land was very silent, with no sign of life at all.
Lin Li has been flying for so long, not to mention discovering third-level strange beasts, but not even a hint of green.
“What are you doing?”
“I was still thinking about coming to the misty jungle to take revenge on those third-level beasts.
"Now this place has become a scorched earth. Not a single living creature can be seen. It is even impossible to seek revenge on those strange beasts."
Lin Li found nothing after searching for so long, and suddenly felt a little depressed. .
Before, I was besieged by those third-level beasts. I couldn't beat them with two fists, so I had to escape.
Now that the cultivation level has been broken through and the strength has greatly increased, it is the time to take revenge, but the enemy is defeated first.
“Alas.”
"Forget it, I haven't found it after searching for so long, I'd better leave here!"
Lin Li glanced at the huge sun moving slowly in the sky and gave up the idea of continuing to look for the third-order beast.
I haven’t been back to Dongwucheng for a long time. I wonder how the situation is at home?
Lin Li used the sun in the sky to identify the direction and judge the location of Dongwu City, and then he quickly flew away.
The vibrant misty jungle turned into scorched earth, the area is jaw-dropping.
Lin Li flew quickly and flew for half an hour before he saw green appearing in front of him.
These plants did not belong to the misty jungle. The moment he saw these greens, Lin Li knew that he had arrived at the outermost edge of the original misty jungle.
“Huh?”
There are some figures on the edge of the scorched earth.
When Lin Li saw someone on the ground, he immediately thought of asking for information.
So he quickly lowered his flying altitude and began to land not far from the opponent.
A group of people carefully observed their surroundings. Suddenly they saw a small black spot appearing in the sky in the distance, and they immediately became vigilant.
When everyone saw clearly that the visitor was not a strange beast, they felt a little relieved, but their vigilance did not relax.
After all, the place we are in now is very dangerous. If the visitor has evil intentions, a battle will be inevitable.
Lin Li landed on the ground, with a piece of grass in front of him. In this vibrant place, his mood couldn't help but get better.
"..." The group of people held weapons and looked at Lin Li silently, the vigilance in their eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Lin Li did not approach rashly, but stood there and greeted them with a smile.
“Hello.”
“Hello.” A middle-aged man with a scar on his face responded.
“I want to ask you something.”
"What happened?"
"I passed by here and found that the misty jungle turned into a scorched earth. I don't know why it became like this. Do you know the reason?" Lin Li asked concisely and concisely without beating around the bush.
"..." When the middle-aged man with the scar on his face heard this, he looked at Lin Li silently. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be asking questions knowingly, he answered.
“We don’t know much. According to insiders, the incident happened about three days ago.
Somehow, fire suddenly fell from the sky in this place, turning the misty jungle into a sea of fire. ..." The middle-aged man with a scar on his face told what he knew about the situation.
Lin Li chatted with the other party for a while, then thanked him and left.
The group of people looked at Lin Li flying away, and one person suddenly said.
“This person seems to have flown out from the depths of the foggy jungle.”
Everyone looked at each other. They didn’t notice this just now, but now after hearing this, they immediately gave up exploring the fog. Jungle thoughts.
Because of an unknown fire, the misty jungle turned into scorched earth, and the strange beasts living in it disappeared.
Many people want to explore the ruins to see if they can find anything.
The risks of exploration now are definitely different from those before, but the sudden encounter with a strong man like Lin Li made these people wake up again.
If they enter the ruins now and encounter a strong person like Lin Li, if the other party is full of malicious intent, they will definitely die by then.
…………
Under the blue sky, Lin Li flew quickly against the wind.
Through the narrations of those passers-by, he knew the reason why the misty jungle turned into scorched earth.
The fire destroyed the misty jungle, and there were many powerful beasts in it.
Lin Li thought this was incredible. The misty jungle was the home of those strange beasts.
If a fire breaks out and becomes difficult to extinguish, those powerful beasts cannot just sit idly by.
Once united, with the strength of those strange beasts, it is not difficult to put out a fire.
However, the reality did not happen as Lin Li imagined. The fire destroyed the misty jungle without any scruples, and those powerful beasts also disappeared without a trace. The vibrant misty jungle was reduced to ruins, and from now on, this place considered by many to be a dangerous place will be history.
After a few decades, no one may know that this scorched land was once a jungle full of life.
“Anything is possible in this vast spiritual world, and the fire that destroyed the misty jungle is not simple.
I need to be more cautious in the future, and I must not break through to the middle of the third stage. , get carried away when your strength increases..."
Lin Li felt sad because of the destruction of the misty jungle, and then he warned his somewhat arrogant self.
…………
Flying quickly towards Dongwu City, about an hour later, a vast plain appeared in front of us.
There is a huge city on this plain, which is extremely majestic.
Lin Li saw the city in the distance with a smile on his face.
After being away for many days, I finally came back.
In order not to attract attention, Lin Li did not land at the city gate, but chose to land in a forest several kilometers away from the city gate.
"Huh..."
A gust of wind blew, and the surrounding trees shook violently.
The chirping birds standing on the branches had to close their mouths and hold on to the branches under their feet because of the gust of wind blowing the trees.
Lin Li quickly walked out of the woods. When he walked out of the woods, he saw a straight dirt road.
He is very familiar with this road. When he first came to Dongwu City, he took this road.
The road surface has been compacted, so there will be no problems whether people are walking on it or vehicles are running on it.
“Drive.”
Lin Li was walking on the dirt road when a loud noise suddenly sounded behind him.
He stopped when he heard the sound, turned his head and looked into the distance.
I saw a dozen soldiers wearing black armor and galloping on maroon mounts.
These mounts are similar in length to horses. They have a single horn on their forehead, some scales attached to their cheeks, and their limbs are very thick.
When Lin Li was wandering around the city before, he passed by a shop selling mounts.
At that time, this store mainly promoted this kind of mount. The store said that this kind of mount was the product of the gestation of exotic beasts and horses.
Its endurance is far better than that of ordinary horses, and it can easily travel hundreds of kilometers a day.
“Drive.”
The heavily armed soldiers urged the mounts to run faster, and the cavalry passed by Lin Li at an extremely fast speed.
“Why are these people in such a hurry?”
Lin Li looked at the leaving cavalry and looked at their leaving figures with some curiosity.
It was not far from the city gate at this time, and when they got here, many people slowed down.
Some vehicles on the road saw the cavalry running over in a hurry, and for fear of getting into trouble, they decisively made way for them.
More than a dozen cavalrymen ran all the way and soon reached the city gate, where they were stopped by soldiers guarding the city gate holding long spears.
At this time, the leading cavalry immediately showed their tokens, and the soldiers guarding the city gate quickly verified their identities and then let them pass.
Originally, horses are not allowed to run wildly in the city, but these cavalry obviously have special tasks, so they can temporarily ignore this rule.
The horses' hooves trampled on the road paved with bluestone bricks, and the crisp sound spread far away.
Pedestrians and vendors on the road knew the situation in advance through the sound of horse hooves, raised their heads, took a look, and decisively gave way.
The originally crowded streets suddenly became smooth and smooth.
Many people came in and out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, all of whom came to report on official business.
At this moment, a dozen cavalry suddenly appeared, which immediately attracted the attention of many officials.
"Why are they so anxious? Did something happen?"
"It seems to be related to the misty jungle."
"A few days ago, the dangerous misty jungle was destroyed by a fire. After the Lord of the City found out, he sent them to investigate..."
Some officials whispered and watched the cavalry hurriedly entering the City Lord's Mansion.
Some insiders have revealed the mission of these dozen cavalrymen, and now they are all curious about the results of the investigation.
.........
The towering city walls are intimidating. There are several soldiers standing in front of the arched door, watching the people entering the city with burning eyes.
The people present are not as privileged as those few cavalry. There are so many people now, and everyone has to line up to enter the city.
Lin Li stood in the queue, looking at the city gate getting closer and closer, and sighed in his heart, "I haven't been back for a long time. When I enter the city later, I will buy some cakes on the roadside to take back."
After a while.
Many people had entered the city, and Lin Li happened to be among them.
He stood on the roadside and found that the vendor who had previously set up a stall selling cakes nearby was nowhere to be seen.
“Hello, uncle.”
“What’s the matter?”
“There used to be a small vendor selling cakes here, why is he missing?”
"You're talking about him! Something happened to his family, so he won't set up a stall these days."
"Thank you." Lin Li inquired with the vendor selling bamboo baskets on the roadside, and then he felt a little regretful Muttered a few words.
“The pastries sold by that vendor are quite delicious, but it’s a bad coincidence.”
Since there is no way to buy pastries on the roadside, we can only find another place.
Lin Li hadn't been back to Dongwu City for a while. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road and the running carriages, he felt novel again.
"Drive."
An empty carriage ran from a distance and stopped not far from Lin Li.
The coachman must have just finished a business. After stopping the car, he took a kettle from his waist and took a sip of water, ready to rest and wait for the next customer.
Lin Li quickly stepped forward to the carriage and asked the driver.
"Master, I want to buy some pastries. Can you send me to a nearby place that sells pastries?"
The driver didn't expect that he would be doing business just after taking a few sips of water, and he smiled happily.
"Sir, please get in the carriage."
Lin Li nodded and got into the carriage.
"We are about to set off, please sit tight."
"Sit tight already."
As the driver shook the reins, the horse responded immediately.
"Da, da, da..."
The sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground is very rhythmic.
Because there are many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, the driver does not drive the carriage very fast.
Lin Li was not in a hurry, sitting on the carriage and looking out the window at the street scene.
Although the road is currently very wide, it has become more congested due to too many vehicles and pedestrians.
Traffic jams occasionally occur on the straight road. Unexpectedly, in this other world, traffic jams are still difficult to avoid.
