In the endless desert, there seemed to be no end to it. Chu Xiu was the only one walking alone.
Along the way, Chu Xiu did not discover any signs of human habitation. He did not even discover a trace of life.
However, he did see some ruins along the way. Some very rough stone houses were half-hidden in the yellow sand, and there were some corpses among them.
There were buildings and corpses, which proved that this place had been inhabited before. However, there were no weapons on the corpses, and the bones had long been weathered. Therefore, Chu Xiu could not figure out whether these corpses were martial artists or not.
This was a bit tricky. This place was so big, and there was not even a trace of human habitation. There was desert sand everywhere, and any traces would be covered by the yellow sand. Where could Chu Xiu find the traces left behind by Dugu Weiwei and Ning Xuanji?
At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly felt a weak energy fluctuation in a direction, and it was not from the people he was familiar with.
Chu Xiu immediately walked in that direction.
A few miles away, two groups of people were fighting fiercely.
These people were dressed almost like beggars. Some of them were not wearing clothes at all, but something made of plant fibers.
There were about 30 people in the two groups, and one of them had fewer people, only about 10 people. It seemed that they had fallen into a disadvantage.
Chu Xiu squinted at the two groups of people fighting fiercely. These people should be the natives of this world, but Chu Xiu could clearly sense that they were using martial dao, and it was a martial dao that had been developed to a very extreme degree.
They had internal energy in their bodies, and Chu Xiu could even feel that a few of them had even condensed the Martial Dao True Core.
However, their fighting style was extremely simple and unadorned. They brought out the power of their fists and kicks to the extreme, and their fighting style was like that of wild beasts. They were extremely ferocious and abandoned countless useless and fancy fighting techniques. Everything they did was to kill the enemy as their number one goal.
It was not that they did not use their True Qi, but only at a critical moment, when they had to use their killing moves or when their lives were in danger, would they use their inner True Qi to resist. It was as if their own True Qi was depleted every time they used it.
In the outside world, which Martial Dao Grandmaster didn't release their Gang Energy and Sword Qi when they attacked? If they saw this group of people killing each other like wild beasts, they would definitely think that they were insulting the dignity of martial artists.
Moreover, this group of people was also very interesting when they fought fiercely. None of them had much killing intent in their eyes, but when they attacked, it was as if they couldn't wait to cut each other into pieces.
In battle, no matter how heavily injured someone was, they would not make a sound. On the contrary, they would fight with their lives on the line. Almost everyone had the courage to perish together with their opponent, as if they were all desperadoes.
Chu Xiu observed carefully from the side. At that moment, however, someone from the side that had the upper hand suddenly sensed something and he abruptly turned to look at Chu Xiu.
There was yellow sand everywhere, and there was no place to hide. Chu Xiu could only restrain his aura to the extreme.
However, the indigenous martial artists here seemed to have extremely keen six senses. Even in such a fierce battle, they quickly discovered Chu Xiu.
The moment they saw Chu Xiu, the group of people spoke.
"Outsider!"
These people looked at Chu Xiu with shining eyes. There was no killing intent in their eyes, but excitement and greed! They looked at Chu Xiu as if they were looking at a piece of meat.
The group of people immediately divided into half. Half of them were responsible for suppressing the other side, and the other half rushed madly toward Chu Xiu.
With a slight frown, Chu Xiu unfolded the Natural Law War Case in his hand and transformed it into the Peerless Heavenly Saber. As the saber slashed down, a huge saber aura swept out. The warriors at the very front were immediately cut in half at the waist, and blood splattered everywhere.
Chu Xiu frowned. The second time he used the blade, he only used the simplest blade technique to kill the enemy, instead of using the powerful blade aura.
Because of the Real Qi consumed by the blade just now, Chu Xiu had not replenished it after absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth for hundreds of meters around him.
This was a barren and barren land. If Chu Xiu continued to waste the Qi of Heaven and Earth like the outside world, when his Real Qi was exhausted, there would be no place to replenish it.
It was no wonder that this group of indigenous martial artists rarely used their Genuine Qi when they fought. Because in this illusion, their internal strength and Genuine Qi could only be used as a killing move. Once it was used up, it would take a long time to replenish it.
Although these indigenous martial artists seemed to be fearless, Chu Xiu also discovered that they should be born with insufficient Real Qi. In this barren land, their Real Qi could never be replenished, and even their meridians were a little shriveled. Even if they condensed the True Pellet State, they couldn't exert the effect of the True Pellet State martial artist. The strength of the Real Pellet State martial artist was only a little stronger than the Unity of Man and Nature State martial artist in the outside world. It was not a threat to Chu Xiu at all.
The group of people who were fighting fiercely with another group of people finally showed a trace of fear in their eyes when they saw their own people were easily slashed by Chu Xiu.
No one was not afraid of death. When facing a monster that they absolutely could not match, they would also be afraid.
And when most people faced fear, they would generally make the same choice, that was, escape!
But how would Chu Xiu give them a chance? With a wave of one hand, more than a dozen blood shadows flew out and wrapped around those people. In an instant, their blood was sucked dry, and they fell to the ground one after another.
[Demonic Blood Technique] mainly relied on the power of qi and blood. It didn't consume too much Internal Qi and Real Qi, so it could be easily used here.
Such an evil method made another group of indigenous martial artists also show surprise and fear in their hearts.
Seeing Chu Xiu's gaze, one of the people in the group suddenly knelt down to Chu Xiu, crossed his hands on his shoulders, and said in a slightly clumsy voice, "Foreign powerhouse, we are willing to surrender to you. Let us go. I am the granddaughter of the City Lord of Merchant City. If you take us back, you can exchange for a lot of things."
Hearing this voice, Chu Xiu discovered that the leader of the group turned out to be a woman. Although she was dressed like the others, like a beggar, he could still see her beautiful face if he looked carefully. It was just that her chest was a little flat. The indigenous martial artists here seemed to be a little stunted.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to surrender. Have you seen more than one outsider?"
Seeing these people, Chu Xiu seemed to have a new clue. If these local indigenous martial artists had an inheritance, then when Dugu Weiwei and Ning Xuanji fought 500 years ago, they should have also seen it.
The woman lowered her head and said, "I haven't seen it, but every few years or decades, there will always be outsiders who stray into Green Capital."
"And then?"
The woman paused before saying, "They either die in the desert, or die in our … hands."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. This woman was quite honest.
"Wait, you said that this place is called Green Capital?"
Chu Xiu looked at the yellow sand around him. How could this place be called Green Capital?
The woman said, "I heard from my grandfather that when we came here 10,000 years ago, this place was like an otherworldly fairyland. Later on, it became like this."
Chu Xiu was shocked when he heard this. He thought that this group of people were the indigenous people of this space, but they actually came here 10,000 years ago. They were all survivors of the ancient catastrophe?
"You came here 10,000 years ago? Do you know where you came from? "
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know, but my grandfather should know."
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. If this group of people were really survivors of the ancient catastrophe, then maybe they would know the secrets of the ancient catastrophe.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Shang Qi."
Chu Xiu glanced at the corpses around him and said, "Are these people your enemies? How many factions are there in this place? "
Shang Qi glanced at the corpses and said indifferently, "Other than the people from Merchant City, everyone else is our enemy. We found a broken branch of the Misty Pushan Tree. They wanted to snatch it, but we didn't want to give it to them, so we started fighting. As for how many factions there are, I'm not sure either. Within the Green Capital, there are factions that fall apart at every moment, and there are also factions that reform. Although our Merchant City isn't the biggest faction, we are the most senior. "
"Misty Pushan Tree? Natural treasures? "
Shang Qi waved her hand, and a skinny man ran to a rock that was half the height of a person. Soon, he dug out a thick branch.
"This is the Misty Cattail Tree. Although there's only one branch left, it can passively absorb weak Yuan Qi. Also, other than the outermost bark, the rest can be eaten. Such a large branch can feed more than ten people for half a year."
This time, Chu Xiu was really shocked.
This thing did indeed contain weak Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, but in the outside world, it couldn't even be considered a herb. It was no different from an ordinary tree. But here, it was used as food to feed so many people, and even caused two groups of people to fight for it. The cruelty of this place was somewhat beyond Chu Xiu's imagination.
"Let's go, bring me to your Merchant City to take a look."
Shang Qi nodded, holding the Misty Pushan Tree branch and said, "Then, can you give this to us?"
Chu Xiu nodded with a strange expression. What did he want this thing for?
Shang Qi and the rest were very obedient, leading the way for Chu Xiu. But at this time, Chu Xiu was slightly surprised and said, "Just now, you were fighting so hard against the enemies. Now that you've met me, why aren't you fighting so hard?"
Shang Qi said indifferently, "Because you're an outsider, you won't snatch our Misty Pushan Tree, but they will.
Furthermore, you're too strong. We're willing to fight with our lives, but we're not willing to throw away our lives.
There are only so many resources in Green Capital. If we fight with our lives on the line, we'll weaken a bit of their strength, and the others in the Merchant City will also have a chance to survive.
But if we fight with our lives on the line, we won't get anything and will only die for nothing. "
Chu Xiu rubbed his chin. He seemed to have some understanding of the rules here.
