After the fog, I became a birdman

Sandstorms have always come at almost a fixed time, and they will be delayed a little every few days. Qi Jiang is not surprised: "Susu, is it delayed again tonight?"

"I really didn't notice it today." Su Qing sniffed uncomfortably, and said something bad in a low voice two seconds later, "There is no sandstorm tonight, and the nearby grasslands will probably continue to burn tomorrow."

"Stop?" Qi Jiang's heart skipped a beat, "What about the sparks in the fire? Don't they have to continue burning tomorrow?"

Su Qing also felt a little headache: "The filter is useless now, and I don't know when this kind of day will pass."

If they hadn't mutated, let alone sleeping with a mask in the thick smoke, the low oxygen content inside would have suffocated them quickly, let alone living in it.

"That's not okay." Qi Jiang put down the bowl, frowned and thought about what they should do.

"The filter I bought before is useless, let's find a way to get a magic weapon." Su Qing could only think of this way, "I'll also see if I can research a new one for the talisman and formation."

"I'll take care of this. You still need to study the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Communication Jade Talisman. If you add a filter, you won't even have time to practice."

"But you still have to look for Lei Lingmai. I can't go out these few days. I'll be at home for a long time. Let me come."

"Then let's go together, both the left and the right will study the new law."

After eating, Qi Jiang had to change the filter again, and then the two went to bed.

Although the temperature tonight is [-] degrees, compared to the high temperature during this period, this temperature is already very cool, and it is really suitable for sleeping.

The two fell asleep quickly, and around five o'clock in the morning, the wind began to blow outside, bringing bursts of biting chill, but these chills were quickly dispelled by the sun that followed.

The sun shines on the earth, the wildfire continues to grow, and the high temperature scorches the earth. In the rapid alternation of cold and heat, many weak creatures can't bear it and get sick.

Cough!

Under the blanket, Su Qing coughed twice, Qi Jiang opened his eyes, stretched out his hand from under the blanket and felt a chill, goosebumps formed on his arm, he paused, then carefully reached out and touched Su Qing's forehead .

I have a low fever.

There was also a thermometer in the room. Qi Jiang looked up and found that within two hours, the temperature in the room dropped below ten degrees.

Qi Jiang got up carefully and put on a quilt, and touched the glass of the spirit mine outside through the gap of the window. There was a chill, but at the same time, there was a warmth.

The chill lingers on the windows, warmed by the double sun outside.

"It seems that the temperature dropped very quickly last night." Qi Jiang murmured in a low voice, glanced at Su Qing again, and went out lightly to turn off the ventilation fan.

He installed several wooden fans in the air vents of his home. After the sun goes down in the evening, the fans need to be turned on to quickly drop the temperature to a suitable temperature, so that the heat can be taken away.

Generally speaking, from the evening when the sun goes down, the temperature can drop below [-] degrees in about two hours. Then, due to the heat preservation ability of the stone, the temperature cannot be lowered quickly, but it is also good for ventilation to keep the fan on. The indoor temperature continued to rise.

The temperature of [-] to [-] degrees was considered high temperature in the past, but for them now, although this temperature is a little hot, it is actually completely acceptable, and it can even be called cool. Can have a good night's sleep.

Card several fans at home, so that the airflow will not drive the fans, the temperature in the room will not become too fast, and the cool temperature in the room can be better maintained in the morning.

Now it's hot outside and cold indoors. It stands to reason that the temperature should rise by more than ten degrees to be more comfortable, but Qi Jiang still didn't do that.

The temperature dropped too fast last night, and Su Qing already had a fever. If the temperature rises faster now, under the alternation of hot and cold, Su Qing may not be able to bear it and aggravate his condition.

Turning off the fan, Qi Jiang went to get some hot water bottles and put them under the bed.

The appearance of the hot water bottle made Su Qing wake up suddenly. He frowned and coughed twice and opened his eyes. The room was dark and he didn't know what time it was, he thought it was evening.

Su Qing sat up dizzy, feeling a little cold behind, shivered and coughed, his voice hoarse: "What time is it?"

"It's about seven o'clock." Qi Jiang wrapped a quilt around his back to prevent him from catching cold, "It's morning, let's continue to sleep."

Su Qing didn't lie down, and whispered: "I'm not too sleepy, so I won't sleep. I'll go to the study to read a book."

He subconsciously wanted to lift the quilt, Qi Jiang hurriedly held it down, and put the clothes under the quilt: "It's a bit cold outside, change your clothes before you come out."

"How many degrees?" Su Qing sniffed and changed clothes while looking at the wall, then frowned slightly, "Why is the temperature so low? It's cooling outside again?"

"It dropped when we were sleeping, but I don't know how much it dropped. It should be quite cold." Qi Jiang opened the curtains a little more so that he could see the glare of sunlight coming in through the gap in the window. "It should be quite hot outside now."

Such a rapid alternation of hot and cold, I am afraid that many people will get sick. Su Qing also did not pay attention to the cold in the evening. The temperature dropped last night, and the heat preservation was not enough and he had a fever.

Qi Jiang was a little worried: "It must be very hot today. I will turn on the fan before going out in the evening. If the temperature is enough, turn it off quickly, lest the temperature in the room change too quickly and aggravate the condition."

Su Qing hummed, and carefully put on the warm clothes and jacket. Qi Jiang found thick socks from the closet. Seeing that his feet were also cold, he felt distressed and warmed them with his palms for a while before putting them on for Su Qing. superior.

The temperature outside is rising rapidly, just like yesterday, Qi Jiang looks out of the window, the thick smoke outside looks very hot, he wants to take advantage of the low temperature indoors to catch up on sleep, but he is worried about Su Qing , In the end, I went to the study to meditate and practice.

About three hours later, under the scorching sun, the temperature inside the house also rose relatively quickly.

Maybe it was the heat that made people fall asleep, Su Qing felt sleepy, put down the book while yawning, carefully glanced at Qi Jiang who was meditating, and walked out cautiously in order not to disturb him.

As soon as he moved, Qi Jiang opened his eyes: "Are you going to sleep?"

"Yeah." Su Qing nodded, "Do you want to go together?"

Qi Jiang was naturally with him, feeling that the filter was about to fail, so he asked Su Qing to go back to sleep first and change the filter by himself.

Halfway through the shift, Qi Jiang suddenly stopped, calculated the oxygen content in his mind, and thought that closing the vents for a day would not cause carbon dioxide poisoning, so he simply closed the vents to prevent the smoke from coming in while sleeping. Had to wear a mask to sleep.

When he came back, Su Qing had already fallen asleep, Qi Jiang smiled lightly, lifted a corner of the quilt carefully and sneaked into the quilt, hugged Su Qing and closed his eyes.

In the next two days, Su Qing's low-grade fever did not subside.

There have been no sandstorms in the past two days. Every day after five o'clock in the morning, there will be a cold wind to cool down rapidly, but the temperature will rise rapidly after the sun comes out. The rapid alternation of cold and heat makes many children and old people in Fengcheng base sick. Pets are no exception.

Although Su Qing was sick, he didn't need to go out. He also took advantage of the time to rest at home to focus more on cultivation, especially the research on the communication jade talisman.

With a lot of research time, and he already had an idea, he made the new Communication Jade Talisman in less than three days.

Knowing everything, Su Qing became more and more excited as he researched, but he clearly knew in his heart that the most important thing for him right now was to maintain a good body and improve his cultivation.

As for the rest, you can wait until the first two goals are completed before doing it.

In the evening, Su Qing got up and went to have dinner with Qi Jiang.

The meals for the past two days have been made by Qi Jiang. Now that Su Qing is sick, he is afraid that Su Qing will have to cook, so he will cook all the meals for the whole day, so that Su Qing can eat directly when he is hungry, instead of eating. Go fire yourself.

After eating, Qi Jiang packed up his things and prepared to go out. Su Qing also asked him to bring the Communication Jade Talisman: "Brother Jiang, bring the Communication Jade Talisman to Uncle Qi."

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too big, Su Qing has not gone out for several days.

Qi Jiang took the two Communication Jade Talismans into his hands, and looked at them curiously. The Communication Jade Talismans are two fingers long and one finger wide, and warm in the hand. Because they are made from the tusks of mutated pigs, they are white and engraved on them. After being made into a communication jade talisman, the material does not look like teeth, but looks like some kind of beautiful jade.

"how to use?"

"After recognizing the master with a drop of blood, just inject a spirit energy into it and speak directly." Su Qing demonstrated once, the operation is simple, and Qi Jiang learned it immediately.

Now that the communication jade talisman is successful, according to Su Qing's ability, the new spirit-gathering formation will definitely be produced soon. With the assistance of the spirit-gathering formation, with his talent, he will soon be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi training.

Qi Jiang felt a little pressure in his heart: "Susu, I won't be coming back tonight, I'll go a little further to find Lei Lingmai."

Su Qing hummed: "Then be careful."

Qi Jiang nodded, and then went out with the communication jade talisman. When he arrived at Fengcheng base, the atmosphere here was a bit dignified.

In fact, the atmosphere in the Fengcheng base has been rather gloomy for the past two days, one due to a cold caused by the changing weather, and the other due to the rapid drying up of the Yuhe Lake.

It stands to reason that they are all mutated, and a minor illness like a cold can be cured in two days, but in fact, under everyone's neglect, some people suddenly developed a fever and even died within two days.

Although the number of people is small, it also wakes everyone up. Now that there is a shortage of medicines, even a small illness may take their lives.

The impact caused by Yuhe Lake is much greater than illness.

The increase of monsters has intensified the competition in Yuhe Lake, and the half monsters that were eliminated early from the circle can only shift their targets to their own kind in the absence of water.

Blood is also a water resource.

The lower reaches are littered with corpses, not only half-monster beasts, but also weaker monster beasts.

According to the current trend, small and medium-sized animals that require less energy are likely to win. Unless large-sized animals are very strong, they will either die under siege or be thirsty.

The competition in the animal world is much crueler than humans imagined, and in this kind of competition, Mr. Han also led people to fish in troubled waters. Whenever a monster fell down, he would take people to bring back the corpse, regardless of whether it was delicious or not. Eat, as long as you can eat to alleviate the imminent famine.

In such a fierce competition, several monster beasts of the fourth step by the Yuhe Lake broke through one after another, Sun Miaomiao and others were injured, and Tan Yilong was also injured and retreated after holding on for a long time under the siege.

Therefore, when Qi Jiang came over tonight, no one in the base was seen going out to fetch water.

The Fengcheng base has been storing water, and there are still some water resources in reserve, but no one knows how long the dry season will last, and the whole base is therefore worried.

Qi Jiang was walking on the main road, and when he passed the residential area, he saw everyone queuing up to fetch water.

The base supplies drinking water in a rationed manner and distributes it per head. Water trucks that used to go out to fetch water appear in residential areas to distribute drinking water. Residents who used to be able to fetch water with them now only carry small water cups to collect water.

Qi Jiang took a second look, and then quickly went to class.

Tan Yilong, who hadn't appeared for a long time, returned to class. Among the six, although he was the last to come back and had the highest strength, he was the most injured.

He hadn't come back for a long time, so Qi Jiang watched his progress first, and found that even though he was busy outside during this time, Tan Yilong didn't lag too much in his study progress.

Qi Jiang checked other people's progress as usual, answered everyone's questions, and then assigned new homework to those who had completed their homework.

Assigning homework is usually a sign of the end of the class. Everyone subconsciously stood up and prepared to leave, but Qi Jiang stopped them: "Wait a moment."

Tan Yilong and the others turned their heads, somewhat puzzled: "Consultant Qi, tell me."

"The end of September is almost here. In about ten days, I will give you a unified assessment. At that time, only one person will be left."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with fighting intent in their eyes.

Regardless of what they were thinking, Qi Jiang left after saying this.

Li Qishu has been preparing to leave these days, and it stands to reason that he should wait for the communication jade talisman, but he can't tell when Su Qing will be able to do it, so he didn't force it.

Hearing that Qi Jiang came to see him from his subordinates, Uncle Li Qi hurriedly asked someone to come in.

"Why are you free to come to me today?" Uncle Li Qi guessed something, and looked forward to it, "Is the communication jade talisman ready?"

Qi Jiang smiled lightly and nodded, and gave him the Communication Jade Talisman: "Uncle Qi, I heard that you are going to leave?"

"Yeah, the outside world is expanding again, so I have to go back sooner." Li Qishu nodded slightly. He came from a family and knew how to use it. He held the communication jade talisman without Qi Jiang's teaching, scratched his fingertips and dripped blood to recognize the master. Then he yelled, "Hello? Do you hear that?"

The jade talisman in Qi Jiang's pocket vibrated slightly, he picked it up and put it to his ear, and heard Uncle Li Qi's voice.

"It's really a phone call." Uncle Li finally felt relieved, "Since I have the Communication Jade Talisman, I don't worry that I won't be able to notify you of the progress. You just wait for my good news..."

"Seventh Uncle, do you want to wait another two days? Wait for Susu to make a few more, and then you can share them with your confidantes." Qi Jiang made a suggestion, "At that time, put another Spirit Gathering Formation take away."

With the Spirit Gathering Array, you can use a lot of spiritual objects to practice at once, which is a good auxiliary method for them who are eager to improve their strength.

Hearing this, Uncle Li Qi decided to stay for another three days.

Qi Jiang still wanted to find Lei Lingmai, so he left soon.

Tonight he decided to look for Lei Lingmai in a different direction, because their homes were all west of the Yu River, so they were all active on the west side of the Yu River, and rarely went to the other side of the Yu River.

But since he couldn't find it here, Qi Jiang simply changed to another area and ran to the other side to find it.

This search finally led him to discover a new Lei Ling vein, a large vein with extremely restrained aura, spanning dozens of kilometers.

"I came here to look for it before I knew it." Qi Jiang was a little annoyed, but looking at the various small spiritual veins marked on his new map, he felt that it was not a loss.

After digging out all these spiritual veins, even if they use spiritual objects to practice, they won't feel distressed.

Qi Jiang wanted to go down and dig some spiritual mines, but the sun was about to come out, so he had no choice but to press down on this impulse first, and went home excitedly to find Su Qing.

Su Qing was thinking about the new Spirit Gathering Formation at home, and he could only hold a piece of spiritual object to absorb spiritual energy while meditating, and his cultivation efficiency was far inferior to that of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Hearing the sound of opening and closing the door, Su Qing knew it was Qi Jiang, put on a blanket and went out, seeing the smile on his face, her heart skipped a beat: "Have you found the spiritual vein?"

"Yes, a very large spiritual vein." Qi Jiang's tone was a little excited, "With a large spiritual vein of tens of kilometers, you don't have to worry about thunder-type spiritual things in the future."

"Dozens of kilometers?" Su Qing's eyebrows twitched, with a bad feeling, "Such a large spiritual vein, can't it be the legendary dragon vein?"

Qi Jiang's smile faltered: "Dragon pulse? Doesn't that mean it can't be moved?"

The dragon veins cannot be moved rashly, otherwise it will be easily punished by heaven.

Su Qing opened the window and looked at the sky outside, frowned slightly: "Is it far? I'll go and see?"

"It's not far, it's on the other side, and you'll be there in about 10 minutes." Qi Jiang pointed in the direction.

"Then I'll go and have a look." Su Qing took the compass in his hand, "Wait for me to come back."

The sun is about to come out, only Su Qing can go and go back quickly, Qi Jiang can't tell how many times this is the first time he can't help Su Qing but asks Su Qing to help him.

When he was feeling a little lost, Su Qing had already come to the vicinity of Lei Lingmai with the compass, and when he saw the compass moving, Su Qing knew that he had arrived at his destination.

This spirit vein is more restrained than the thunder spirit vein in Fengwai Mountain before. Su Qing used the compass to find the place with the strongest spirit energy. According to the method in the book, he found that it was really a newly formed dragon vein. He couldn't help being disappointed.

Back home, Qi Jiang nervously helped Su Qing close the door: "How is it?"

"It's the dragon vein." Su Qing shook his head.

Qi Jiang was stunned, feeling more and more disappointed, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only accept the fact helplessly: "Then I'll look for it again. Since the dragon vein is here, there must be other spirit veins nearby."

But there may not necessarily be a Lei Lingmai.

Su Qing was a little distressed, he finally came across a Lei Lingmai, and he didn't want to give up.

Looking up at the little dragon's horn on Qi Jiang's head, Su Qing took out the mahogany box and took out one of the blue books.

There are two kinds of Su family’s ancient books, one is the core inheritance, such as various secret arts, the inheritance of talisman formations, and the Su family’s unique techniques are all stored in mahogany boxes. Some of the ancestors’ knowledge and branch skills, the Su family is not very good at The refining tools and alchemy-related books are placed in another larger box.

Su Qing usually reads the latter's books. Qi Jiang rarely saw him take out this mahogany box, and couldn't help being curious: "Susu, what are you reading?"

"I'm looking for a way. I remember my grandfather told me when I was a child that a long, long time ago, ancient monks could even incorporate dragon veins into their bodies." Su Qing flipped through the family's secret arts page by page without looking up.

Qi Jiang's head was in a daze, and he recognized the dragon's veins as the master?Still included in the body?Tens of kilometers in size...

But after thinking about it, his dragon-horned swords were not small, so they were put in his body?The dragon veins are just a little bit bigger... that's all.

An hour later, Su Qing's eyes lit up: "I found it!"

Qi Jiang held his breath, Su Qing glanced at the description in the book, frowned slightly, but he looked up at the dragon horn on Qi Jiang's head again, feeling that this matter could be done.

"What does it say in the book?"

"Find where the dragon soul is, let the dragon soul recognize its owner according to the secret technique, and the dragon veins will be incorporated into your body along with the dragon soul." Su Qing repeated the method, and the more he said, the brighter his eyes became, "You are a dragon, and you are born to take advantage."

"Then how to find the dragon soul?"

Su Qing carefully looked at the method mentioned in the book: "The book says that those who are destined will feel it. You are a dragon, so feel it more?"

Qi Jiang: ... What a destined person.

Seeing Su Qing's expectant eyes, Qi Jiang gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, then I will be the one who is destined."

Su Qing smiled slightly, with a little envy in her words: "If you can recognize the main dragon's veins, you will definitely be able to soar into the sky, and maybe you can directly build a foundation."

He finally didn't have to worry about Qi Jiang's evolution, he put away all the books, and went to study the Juling Formation with great interest.

Looking at the happy Su Qing, Qi Jiang couldn't help but curl his lips, and turned to cook.

After a while, Qi Jiang, who was cooking in the kitchen with a smile, remembered something, and walked to the door of the study with a spatula to ask Su Qing if they would be punished by God for doing so.

Su Qing was concentrating on drawing talismans, but Qi Jiang opened his mouth and finally did not bother.

No matter what, Susu will never harm him. If he will be punished by heaven, how can Susu let him do it?

Qi Jiang went back to the kitchen softly, thinking while cooking.

If he has no destiny with the Dragon Soul, he will definitely not be able to sense it, and then he will just go to find the Lei Lingmai again. If there is a destiny, then this is his chance, how could he be punished by heaven?

"I hope it's the one who is destined." Qi Jiang whispered softly, "Otherwise, I don't know when I will find the next Lei Lingmai."

After another three days, Qi Jiang spent two nights at the dragon vein, flying back and forth around the dragon vein. Although the matter of sensing the dragon vein has not progressed yet, he also knows that the dragon vein is not a small chance. So don't be discouraged.

Su Qing's new Spirit Gathering Formation was finally made, and by the way, he also made more than [-] Communication Jade Talismans for Uncle Li Qi.

His health is still not very good, but at least the fever has subsided. Knowing that Uncle Qi is leaving today, he also wants to give him a gift.

Fengcheng is far away from Gaocheng, and it will be even further after the expansion. Uncle Qi didn't know how long it would take on the road, and was afraid that it might be cold on the way, so Su Qing packed some thick clothes.

"Brother Jiang, when will Seventh Uncle and the others leave?"

"Leave as soon as the sun sets." Qi Jiang brought out the dishes and put them on the dining table, then untied his apron, "He said that time is precious, so he won't wait for us."

"Then let's fly over to find them." Su Qing nodded understandingly, and coughed softly, "Let's go and bring Shanshan back tonight, just as I'm getting better and the Spirit Gathering Formation is ready... Finally Fortunately, the ice element is also available, and the water element is also available, and these two kinds of spiritual creatures are the most in the house, so there is no need to worry about the mountains in the future."

"It doesn't matter if it's other spiritual roots. We have found so many spiritual veins. If there are not enough, we can just dig." Qi Jiang smiled and shook his head, "However, you should not say this in front of Jin Jin, lest he know you eccentric."

Susu never mentioned preparing these things for Jin Jin.

"Jinjin is not far from me, and lives next door, of course I'm not worried." Su Qing gave him a sideways glance, "But look at our daughter, she's getting more and more homeless, how can I not think more about her?"

Qi Jiang couldn't help sighing when he thought of seeing Shanshan in the past two days: "That's true. In this world, if you are not strong enough, you will have no guarantee after all."

Su Qing couldn't help but nodded, and then thought of something: "By the way, I haven't seen you mention it in the past two days. After the blessing of heaven and earth, you go to see Shanshan. Has she changed?"

"It has changed a little bit. I think she and Shantu have become stronger. Now they have changed to a hunting ground, but the bigger changes are gone." Qi Jiang hissed, frowning and shaking his head, "Shantu He has awakened his bloodline, and I mentioned a few words to him, I feel that Shanshan has reached a stable stage, but his strength does not seem to have become much stronger."

"Isn't there enough energy?" Su Qing thought about their past, "Before the world changed several times, the energy concentration doubled, and everyone's strength changed a lot, but we didn't feel it at all. Shanshan's situation is similar to ours."

Qi Jiang nodded: "Well, there is no need to worry."

After the two of them had dinner, the sun was just setting, so they hurriedly set off.

There are too many fire points, and there are fire fields everywhere outside. Su Qing can't escape the thick smoke when he flies thousands of meters high. When he looks at the ground, it is all black and red. The black is thick smoke and the red is flame.

"When I went to see Longmai two days ago, there were not so many fire scenes." Su Qing looked at the endless fire fields below, and couldn't find a place that was not burned.

"These fire scenes have been connected together since the night before." Qi Jiang shook his head while flying, "Now the Yuhe lakes are all dry, and the monsters are eyeing the Fengcheng base. If there were no fire fields blocking them, something would have happened long ago."

Although there are many and large fire sites, the monsters have been prepared for a long time, and now they have created a isolation zone like Fengcheng base, but this also makes them surrounded by fire sites, just like Fengcheng base.

At night, when the flames were extinguished in the second half of the night, the monsters would start hunting and shift their sights to the Fengcheng Fengcheng base. This caused more missing persons in the base and made the whole base tense.

"You gave a lecture before, how was the effect?" Su Qing was a little curious.

"So-so." Qi Jiang couldn't help shaking his head, "Only less than forty adults can listen to it, and the rest are the same as before, just working and living step by step, and I don't see many people who train."

"How to say?" Su Qing was puzzled, "The plague is over, and now you have pointed out a way, how can so many people not pay attention?"

"I'm not in it. I come and go every day in a hurry. I don't know why." Qi Jiang shrugged, but he couldn't understand, "Mr. Han was in a hurry, but he was not in a hurry, he What's the use of worrying?"

Maybe it's because the power of monsters is getting stronger, or maybe it's because of the coming famine, they can't see hope.

But they still have time to become stronger, and the fire field is also protecting them in disguise. The blessing of heaven and earth not only makes the half-monsters stronger, but also awakens the blood of many people. At this time, seize the time to tap their abilities to catch up with the progress.

Even if they can't overtake in curves, at least they can save their lives under the hands of monsters of the same level, but Qi Jiang was surprised that so many people don't pay attention to the ability to mutate.

Perhaps, something else happened that he didn't know about.

Or maybe they have other plans or ideas in mind.

Su Qing was thoughtful. When he came to the Fengcheng base, he found that he hadn't been there for a few days. Some changes had taken place in the Fengcheng base. The previously vibrant base began to show a state of polarization.

Some people's eyes are bright and full of vitality, while some people's expressions are numb and lifeless.
