My backyard leads to wilderness

Zhong Ning watched Joyce hold his hand, neither refused nor agreed, he just asked another question indifferently: "Is there really no solution?"

"Yes." Joyce smiled lightly, affirming Zhong Ning.

"What method?" Zhong Ning asked, he had an intuition that this method would not be too simple.

"And there's more than one way." Joyce said.

Zhong Ning's ominous premonition grew stronger.

"The first method, you kill me." Joyce stared at Zhong Ning closely, and said the first method.

When Zhong Ning heard this, his eyes widened for a moment, thinking that Joyce was simply joking!

Seeing Zhong Ning's reaction, Joyce seemed to be very happy to smile, and then said: "The second type is a person with strength above the Dharma God, who uses half of his own strength to forcibly terminate the marriage contract. Ning, I am a Dharma God. But do you think I would do that?"

"You won't." Zhong Ning said, not only did he think that Joyce would not do this, even if he himself had the same power as a god of law one day, he would also not do such a stupid act.

"Especially because I like you, so I won't." Joyce smiled and said.

Zhong Ning suddenly felt that Joyce was such a vicious and unscrupulous person, and the image of Joyce in his mind as a serious and responsible boss collapsed.But at least he didn't continue to lie to himself...

From Joyce, or a bachelor all his life?That's a really good question!The ghost believed what Joyce said that he liked him, and he was more willing to believe that there was something about him that attracted Joyce, so that Joyce would rather sacrifice himself to bind himself with a marriage contract.

In fact, Zhong Ning really wronged Joyce on this point. God knows that he really just wanted to use a marriage magic to achieve the purpose of entering the enchantment.It is easy and harmless, and can be removed at any time, why not do it?Who would have thought that he and Zhong Ning would be soul mates like no other in a million?

"What are your plans next?" Joyce asked.

"Maybe, to visit Lop Nur?" Zhong Ning said uncertainly, since they came here anyway.Although Lop Nur is called the sea of ​​death, it doesn't make sense that he, a cultivator with two systems of wood and water and a big cheat of the system, would not be able to get out of a small desert.

"Lop Nur? What's the name here?" Joyce asked.

"Yes, it used to be a saline lake on the edge of the desert, but now it has completely dried up. So here, it is also called the Sea of ​​Death. It has a long history and is a must pass on the ancient Silk Road of my country. There are many historical sites such as ancient tombs and the ancient city of Loulan, so it should be quite interesting." Zhong Ning said.

"So, there will be many ordinary people traveling here?" Joyce asked with a smile.

"There are so many, but not many. After all, it is a sea of ​​death, and there are still very few people who are not afraid of death. What do you ask me for? Could it be that you want to join me?" Zhong Ning said, he remembered that Joyce must be very busy of.

Joyce nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Cultivate the relationship by the way."

Boss, you have changed!Give back my aloof male god!

Zhong Ning had no choice but to reluctantly take Joyce out of the oasis. The sandstorm had just raged, and the entire desert was calm after the danger.

"Why is there such a lack of magic elements in this place?" Standing in the middle of the sand sea, Joyce felt that there were almost zero magic elements in the entire desert, and was puzzled.In God's Continent, even in the depths of the desert, there are a lot of fire magic elements active.And the magic elements here are so scarce that Joyce doubts whether he can successfully condense a small water polo with the magic elements from the outside world.

"More than 2000 years ago, there was a bustling ancient city and a huge lake of more than 5000 square kilometers. But for some reason, the aura here has gradually disappeared. In fact, the aura of the entire earth is losing at an alarming rate Let’s call it the Dharma-Ending Age.” Zhong Ning and Joyce said, but did not say that it was God’s Continent that plundered Lop Nur’s aura, which led to its desolation at this time.As for the chief culprit that led to the end of the earth, according to the clues Zhong Ning has obtained so far, God's Continent cannot be blamed.

Hearing this, Joyce was rarely silent. He knew what the rapid loss of aura meant to a world.He couldn't help but imagine what would happen if the same thing happened to God's Continent.Given the degree of dependence of the Continent of Gods on magic, if there were no magic elements, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the civilization of the Continent of Gods would regress back to prehistoric times overnight.

"Have you found the reason for the loss of aura?" Joyce asked.

"I probably know it." Zhong Ning replied.

"Is there a solution?" Joyce asked.

"Probably there are." Zhong Ning said.

"How?" Joyce asked.

"Have fewer children and grow more trees?" Zhong Ning suddenly turned to Joyce and smiled.

"Don't be kidding, new life is the most important existence in every world." Joyce said.

"No, I'm not joking. At least that's how my country implements it. The population is too large to exceed the environmental load. It's like a bowl of water is enough for one person to quench their thirst, but if you share it with ten people, you can only have one bite per person." Zhong Ning Speaking half-truths and half-false words, although the country has realized the negative impact of population control over the years.

"But what does that have to do with the reduction of aura on Earth?" In Joyce's view, this solution was downright silly.One bowl of water is not enough, finding a way to find another 9 bowls of water is the correct way to open source, right?Why start with reducing the number of people who get water?

"My country, on this land, has a population of 13.9 billion." Zhong Ning told Joyce a figure.

"Are you sure you didn't say an extra zero?" Joyce turned around in surprise. You know, the total population of the entire God's Continent is only 4 million.

"No, the population of the entire planet exceeds 70 billion. Moreover, the force on the planet does not rely solely on magic." Zhong Ning glanced at Joyce and said deliberately.He tried to use vague language to blur Joyce's understanding of the earth. There have been two connections between the two worlds, and no one can guarantee that there will be no third place.Once more people on the Continent of Gods discover the existence of the Earth, they might be used by someone with ulterior motives.

war!It has always been the first choice after the first collision of two completely different civilizations.

"Oh? What else?" Joyce asked following Zhong Ning's words.

"Hot weapon." Zhong Ning said, took out the little monster Jaeger that had been stored in the space ring for a long time, and set fire to a dead tree next to it that had withered for decades.The dense bullets hit the dry tree trunk, and the dead tree fell down in an instant.

"Probably equivalent to the attack power of an intermediate magician." Joyce commented.

"Yes, the single-target attack is not very high, but it has no talent restrictions on the user. After specific training, everyone can use it. What's more, this is just a conventional weapon, and there are more weapons with higher attack power. Other weapons, such as a nuclear weapon capable of leveling a city," Zhong Ning said.

No matter how dull Joyce was, he could still hear Zhong Ning's subtext, not to mention that he was such a perceptive person.

Joyce sighed and said to Zhong Ning, "I have no intention of infringing on this world at all."

"Not now, but it doesn't mean there won't be in the future." Zhong Ning said, especially after he cut off all the connections from God's Continent to plunder the earth's aura in the future.At the moment of survival crisis, no matter how peaceful the race is, it will not hesitate to take up the weapons in its hands.The Continent of God is like a parasitic dodder, clinging firmly to the earth, it exists by stealing the aura of the earth.This parasitic relationship should end.

As an executor, Zhong Ning will stand on the opposite side with Joyce sooner or later.Since it will break sooner or later, why bother to get close?

"Can we stop talking about this?" Joyce said, taking the lead in admitting defeat.

"Okay." Zhong Ning nodded.Say more and make more mistakes, it may be the best choice to stop.

Zhong Ning picked out two pieces of outdoor equipment suitable for walking in the desert from the system mall, and the two changed out of the clothes that must have been eye-catching when they walked out.Speeding all the way in the direction where the aura is stronger, the salt crust on the dry river bed, the bones of mummified corpses can be seen everywhere, the remains of wild animals that died of thirst...all of which show the horror of this place as a forbidden place for life.

"This place is a bit like the death mountain in the God's Continent." Joyce said to Zhong Ning.

"Where is Death Mountain?" Zhong Ning asked, maybe that is where the next source of energy is located.

"The land of death on the edge of the Mork Kingdom is the same as here. There is no life on the land, and there is no aura in the air." Joyce said.

"I have a chance to visit next time." Zhong Ning said.

"You seem to be very adventurous." Joyce raised his eyebrows.

"If you don't take risks, where did you get the breakthrough?" Zhong Ning replied with a smile.

Thinking of Zhong Ning's strength by leaps and bounds, Joyce nodded and said, "In addition to strength, you should also pay more attention to your state of mind."

This is not the first time that Joyce reminded Zhongning to pay attention to his state of mind. Zhongning began to reflect on himself. Could it be that there is something wrong with his state of mind?

The two continued to move forward, but the road became more and more desolate, even the dry river and the Populus euphratica on both sides of the trees gradually disappeared.Zhong Ning began to realize that the direction they were going in was probably not right. Could it be that his reasoning was not correct?Shouldn't the direction with strong spiritual energy be a place with dense population, flowers and grass?Why do they now feel that they are going deeper into the desert?

After walking a short distance, Zhong Ning found that the aura seemed to be gradually decreasing when he continued to move forward.Could it be that my feet are the source of spiritual power radiating outward here?

Couldn't this be some Loulan ancient tomb?Zhong Ning, who has read a lot of tomb robbery novels recently, thinks so.Then, when Zhong Ning turned his head, his enhanced eyesight found a large hole that was obviously artificially reinforced.

After hesitating for a second, Zhong Ning greeted Joyce and walked over.The sides of the bunker were firmly reinforced with several layers of thick boards, but at a depth of about three or four meters, it was obviously a stone wellhead. There were still a few ropes left at the hole, which looked very new, and there was no wind and sand on it. There is no trace of weathering caused by long-term wind and sun. It seems that the person should have just gone down for a long time.The strange thing is, why didn't anyone stay on the ground to alert and respond?

Zhong Ning observed the entrance of the cave for a long time, but found no clues. The desert and the sea are the two most difficult places to leave traces.
