He couldn't help but started rubbing his hands, breathing hot air from time to time—although he knew that this couldn't dispel his own coldness, but it was a subconscious behavior of the human body when it was cold, and it was regarded as psychological comfort.
The night is getting deeper.
Walking on the desolate Gobi desert, feeling the biting cold wind blowing non-stop, looking around, there is a desolation everywhere, coupled with the collapsed Populus euphratica and dry weeds that can be seen everywhere, a sense of loneliness emerges spontaneously.
Looking up at the sky, the moon is dim, and the stars are few and far between. It seems that even the sky and the earth have abandoned you. In vain, there is a sense of the size of the sky and the earth, but there is no feeling that there is no place for me.
"wrong!"
"I have a body of a star god, and the power of the nine heavenly stars is connected to me. I also have the innate martial arts, the Qi Dao Qi Sea realm, the blood in my body circulates by itself, and the mana is endless. How can this world abandon me? "
Gu Changan was startled, and woke up from the previous lonely state of mind.
"There really is a big problem in this desert... It can actually affect people's minds invisibly!"
"Fortunately, my spirit was high enough to wake up!"
The great effect of the spirit has not yet been brought into play, but as Gu Changan's spirit becomes higher and higher, his mind becomes clearer, and the resistance related to will also becomes stronger.
That's why he was able to jump out immediately after being affected.
But even so, it was enough to make Gu Changan's warning ring louder.
With his current spirit, he was almost caught in the invisible, those ordinary caravans passing by, and even the head of the Xuanjing Division...
After thinking up to this point, Gu Changan's face also changed slightly.
At this moment, Gu Changan suddenly saw a faint light in front of him. This light was very faint, but it was very obvious in this dark night.
"There is a bonfire...is there someone?!"
Gu Changan's heart skipped a beat, and then he walked up quickly.
The distance is not far, only a few hundred meters away. After passing by, Gu Changan found that it was a small campfire. Beside a collapsed Populus euphratica tree, there were eight or nine people sitting around the campfire. , or rubbing their hands, or sitting still, or falling down on the ground to sleep soundly, or shaking their bodies, they kept approaching the campfire.
Eight or nine people probably took most of the seats, and there was a vacant area next to it, which could accommodate two or three people.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chang'an was shocked and couldn't help but stop.
He thought of what the clerk in the Longmen Inn said earlier - all the dead people were gathered in a circle, either sunburned or frozen to death.
How similar is it to the current scene?
With this thought in his mind, Gu Changan cast his gaze over again, and a circle of white pupils suddenly appeared in the pupils of his eyes.
The scene in his eyes also changed accordingly.
I saw eight or nine people sitting around the bonfire, all of whom had bluish-purple faces and were covered in air-conditioning, as if they were about to freeze to ice.
And that bonfire, where is the bright red and warm bonfire?
It was clearly a cloud of dark green cold fire!
"It's really weird!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Changan was startled at first, but he calmed down the next moment - he came here to investigate the monsters and completed the assessment.
Now that we have discovered the clues, we might as well hold back and watch the follow-up development, and also see what the monster is following!
After thinking up to this point, Gu Chang'an immediately said loudly: "It's cold in the night, so you don't mind taking a place to warm up?"
Although he was asking, he had already sat down while speaking.
It doesn't look like a question at all.
This is a test.
After Gu Changan sat down, he kept observing the demeanors of all the others. As he expected, after he sat down, no one turned his attention to him, and no one spoke.
That's weird!
From appearing to taking a seat, from the beginning to the end, everyone was doing their own things, and no one was distracted.
Gu Changan glanced at each person, and suddenly saw three men opposite him, all rubbing their hands, their teeth chattering, one of them had a beard, the other had a horse face, and the last one was an old man—clearly the former The three quacks I saw in the inn.
After staying at least for a while, he opened his eyes slightly and focused on the person beside him, which was also the last person.
This person looks middle-aged, about thirty years old, dressed in black black armor, with a token hanging on his waist!
This is clearly a member of the Xuanjing Division!
"The head of the Xuanjing Department who came to investigate the monster!"

Chapter 121
At the moment, the principal's condition is not good.
His eyes were dull, his whole body was bent and trembling, and the blood in his body was completely suppressed, so he could only flow unconsciously.
He kept rubbing his hands, but it couldn't bring him any warmth.
Compared with the others, this principal's condition was relatively better, his face was not blue from the cold, but pale, and when Gu Changan took his seat, he was the only one who rolled his eyes.
But now, he seemed to feel that Gu Changan was looking at him, the eyeballs of this man moved meaninglessly, and his lips were trembling slowly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Don't want to say?
Still can't say?
Or do you not want to say?
Gu Chang'an was thinking in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he moved closer to him without any trace.
As soon as he got close, he immediately felt a severe cold air pervading the principal's body—it didn't look like a living person at all, but a block of ice.
Just when Gu Changan was thinking about helping the chief, at this moment, a figure suddenly came from a distance. Before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived: "Huh? There is a bonfire here?"
"I was in Xiayan, wandering around the rivers and lakes for decades, and was favored by the Taoist priests, and gave me the nickname of 'Fengli Dao'. I have seen you."
With that said, the figure had arrived by the campfire.
Under the light of the fire, it was only then that his figure could be seen.
He has a handsome appearance, carrying a book frame on his back, and wearing a Confucian shirt, which looks like a Confucian scholar.
But his skin is dark, and there is a long knife hanging on his waist, and his manner and speech are more like a typical desert Gobi swordsman.
Really weird.
Gu Changan wanted to say something, but when his eyes fell on the swordsman, his eyes flashed, and he was just like the others, motionless and silent, as if he was lazy and sleepy.
As for the young Confucian swordsman, he laughed boldly and kept talking to other people. Even if no one answered at all, he didn't feel any weirdness, and the conversation became more and more lively.
As he spoke, he actually took off the wine bag on his body and pulled the cork away, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine came along with the heat.
It makes people unconsciously think that once this wine is drunk in the stomach, it will be warm.
The young Confucian scholar and swordsman took a sip by himself, and then passed the wine bag to other people around the campfire very generously.
"Drink, friend?"
The wine sac was passed to Gu Chang'an, the young Confucian scholar said with a smile.
"No, I can't drink wine, I'm drunk with one sip."
Gu Changan smiled and refused every day!What's new?Since childhood. Talk group. Stay.Stay (nine! Eight? Zero two, zero, five? Eight [five six) absolutely.
See Gu Changan refuse every day!What's new?Since childhood. Talk group. Stay.Staying (nine! Eight? Zero two, zero, five? Eight [five six) absolutely, the young Confucian scholar swordsman didn't say much, took the wine bag and drank it by himself.
At this time, the night is getting darker, the bright moon is getting dimmer, and the stars are getting thinner.
Between the sky and the earth, the cold wind became more and more piercing, engulfed in the wind and sand, and blowing on the person's body, only felt the skin hurt.
The bonfire was blown by the wind, flickering on and off, and looked a bit dim. Seeing this, the young Confucian swordsman picked up the branches at his feet and kept filling them into the bonfire. As more firewood was added, the flames became more prosperous.
At the back, it was almost as tall as a person, and the scorching heat kept coming.
However, Gu Changan's heart grew colder.
Waves of chill kept pouring in like a tide, even Gu Changan felt goosebumps all over his body, the principal around him was even more crumbling, and the chill on his body became deeper and deeper.
His spirit has already begun to weaken.
Looking to fall asleep.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chang'an clearly knew that something was wrong, but he was still weird and didn't want to take any action.
"No, we can't go on like this!"
"If this is the case, the master may not be able to survive!"
Gu Chang'an himself was safe and wanted to wait here to see what this demon was up to.
But the chill on this principal's body was about to invade the bone marrow, and his blood was squeezed to the point that he couldn't flow. If this went on like this, in less than half an hour, he would be like the others, completely unable to wake up!
At this point, Gu Changan still doesn't know what the so-called frozen to death is——
"Staying by the bonfire, the demon will imperceptibly weaken people's spiritual will, so that they are greedy for the false warmth in front of the bonfire, and are reluctant to leave."
"It's like getting up early in the morning in winter and not wanting to lift the quilt; in summer when the sun is hot, you are eager to be cool and refreshing!"
"Once there is reluctance in the heart, the ability of the demon will continue to magnify it, and eventually people will no longer have the courage to leave!"
"To the point that... was frozen to death!"
Even if he didn't use the white flood pupils, Gu Chang'an could clearly notice that among the few people in front of the bonfire, except for the master who was still persevering because of his strong vitality, the rest of them had been frozen to death!
"There's not enough firewood, let's go get some firewood!"
At this moment, the young Confucian scholar swordsman suddenly spoke to Gu Changan.
Hearing this, Gu Changan glanced at the bonfire pretending to be hesitant, his eyes struggled a bit, but he still said, "Okay!"
"It's just that the two of us can't pick up too much, and we're pulling one person..."
As he spoke, Gu Changan casually picked up the head of the Xuanjing department on the left and got up.
It's just that the principal didn't move at all, and even looked at him with the intention of not wanting to leave.
Gu Chang'an didn't care about his thoughts, and directly used force with his hands, and the master was pulled up by him, but it seemed that he stood up by himself.
"Before I came, I saw a Populus euphratica forest with many dead branches and fallen leaves. I will take you to pick them up!"
The young Confucian scholar and swordsman led the way.
Gu Changan and the head of the Xuanjing Department hobbled behind, perhaps leaving the bonfire. Gu Changan found that the head of the Xuanjing Department gradually regained some of his spirit, but he still had no consciousness of his own.
After walking for a while, the three of them went to a populus euphratica forest next to them, picked up some firewood respectively, and went back at the suggestion of the young scholar and swordsman.
Strange to say, when the young Confucian swordsman said 'return to the bonfire', a sense of urgency suddenly emerged in his heart—the desire to return to the bonfire and accept the warmth.
At this moment, the director of Xuanjing even murmured: "Leng... go back, go back... Leng..."
When going back, it is faster than coming out.
When approaching the bonfire, the young Confucian scholar swordsman and the head of the Xuanjing Division sat back to their seats very quickly, looking very eager for the warmth of the bonfire.
"Crackling~"
The branches were burning, emitting a bright red light, bringing bursts of heat and warmth in the explosion of burning.
The young Confucian scholar swordsman kept adding firewood, and the bonfire became more and more prosperous. The bright red light gradually exuded a faint greenness.
Gu Changan looked at the branch and sighed inwardly.
Where is this a branch? It’s clear...
It's all bones!
Thinking this way, he set his sights on the young Confucian scholar.
The latter seemed to have sensed Gu Changan's gaze, and raised his eyes to look at it at this moment, and then indicated with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Under the flickering light of the fire, the expression of the young Confucian swordsman fluctuated at this moment, reflecting the strangeness of this smile.
just like……
Like a monster who is about to choose and devour people.
