Chapter 148: The Desert

The Tornado Desert is a large desert located in the center of the crossroads of several countries. It is a vacuum zone that no one cares about, and it is also the most natural buffer zone of national borders.

The reason for the name "tornado" is very simple, because every time you walk in this desert, you may encounter a large tornado.

It is because of the ultra-high frequency of tornadoes and the dangerous beasts hidden all over the desert that ordinary people dare not set foot in this desert at all, and even the warriors with slightly lower strength do not have the courage to enter the desert to search for treasures.

Only those soul condensing warriors who have awakened their martial souls can have the lowest capital, and they can consider ganging up with many people to come to the desert to hunt the unique fierce beasts here, and obtain all kinds of precious materials to seek wealth.

In the past month, due to the wide spread of the news of the Abyss Secret Realm, the popularity of the Tornado Desert has heated up, and a large number of martial artists, both low-level and high-level, have entered the desert one after another. The final destination of these people was a stronghold in the heart of the desert, a humble village built by the joint efforts of several top sects a few months ago.

Because the entrance to the Abyss Secret Realm, which is opened once every three hundred years, is not fixed, it is also unexpected to be found in the Tornado Desert this time. However, once the coordinates of its opening are determined, then the major forces will also move very quickly, secretly mobilizing some people to come over and establish a temporary stronghold, mainly to sit here and firmly occupy the entrance to the secret realm that is about to be opened.

And in order to have a more advantage when exploring the secret realm, under the control of these top forces, the news of the abyss secret realm has been blocked, and only the power level that is really qualified can know it, and most of the second-rate forces and the lower level are only known after the news of the secret realm has been spread in the last month.

With the preparation of several months in advance, those powerful forces can naturally strive for more benefits after entering the secret realm. The forces and the idle warrior layer who only learned about this in the last month, hurried to the desert if they were close, and those who couldn't catch up with it could only consider themselves unlucky.

This can't be blamed on those big forces for monopolizing and taking advantage of the benefits of entering the secret realm, in fact, being able to release the news in the last month is already a great kindness to the weak.

When the time comes, selecting a few representatives from the middle and lower level forces who can rush over, as well as those scattered martial artists, and giving them places to enter the secret realm, can also be regarded as a means for these big forces to appease them.

"For those real top forces, most of the families and sects don't pay attention to anything, not to mention us idle martial artists, I'm afraid we can't even count as ants. ”

Zhou Liao rode a camel to drive the road, the hot sun hanging high in the sky, the hot wind that continued to blow on his body, and the bad situation of having to save water due to dry mouth and dry mouth all made him feel bad, so he kept complaining in his mouth, talking about his dissatisfaction with those big forces.

He is a typical loose cultivator, although he is only in the realm of condensing souls, but relying on a fairly good martial soul, as well as one or two practical martial arts, he has some fame in the small circle.

His popularity is also good, this time he is walking with more than ten other cultivators of the same kind of loose cultivation martial arts, and he came to this tornado desert, mainly to see the legendary abyss secret realm. After all, if they miss this time, they will never see it in their lifetime, even if it is just from a distance.

"Brother Zhou, although we are from a humble background, we don't have to be arrogant, at least we are not enough to be superior, but we are more than enough. ”

Next to him, the middle-aged man who was also riding a camel was the temporary leader of the group, and the only one of them who was a Unity Realm martial artist, that is, this middle-aged man initiated it at the beginning, and gathered their group to come to the desert to open their eyes.

For Zhou Liao, who is second only to him in strength among all of them, the middle-aged man still attaches great importance to it, and while he speaks, he also stretches out his hand and points to the back.

Zhou Liao raised his eyebrows and glanced back, then nodded, and said, "Brother Shi is right, for those like us who have no background, it is already a gift from God to awaken the martial soul, compared to most ordinary people, it is already high. ”

There were more than a dozen loose cultivators in their group, each of whom rode a camel to the road, but although the camel had a strong load-bearing capacity, it couldn't carry too many things. Then the food and water they needed for the trip, and considering that they also needed these on the return trip, they had to find another way to transport them.

So the middle-aged man who led the way proposed a way to hire ordinary people who were really lowly and had not awakened their martial spirits to transport the necessary materials.

In the end, they chose a dart game, and paid a high reward that was impossible for ordinary people to refuse, and put them in charge of escorting several truckloads of food and water.

Except for the head of this dart game, which is a soul condensing martial artist who has awakened the martial soul, the other dart masters and subordinates are all just ordinary people who have practiced martial arts. And the head of the dart seems to understand that this business is not good, it is very dangerous, he spared his life very much, did not come to the dart in person, but sent a few good dart masters, with dozens of men to dart.

These escorts, all escorting carriages loaded with a large amount of food and water, walked behind Zhou Liao and more than a dozen soul condensing warriors riding camels. The middle-aged man in the lead pointed at them, and Zhou Liao looked back and understood what the middle-aged man meant.

In fact, Zhou Liao didn't know that if they could awaken the martial soul, they had already opened up the level with ordinary people, and they were also high up to ordinary people, just like he looked up to those top forces.

However, there is nothing wrong with people going to high places, Zhou Liao agrees with the middle-aged man's statement on the surface, but he is always unwilling in his heart.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, remembering that someone who had a good relationship with him had gone to participate in the Yanyun Sect's election meeting a few months ago.

"I don't know what happened to him and his female companion, the Yanyun Sect where the two of them went together, I'm afraid none of them will be able to come back. ”

The Yanyun Sect's election conference was notoriously dangerous, the casualty rate was extremely high, and only a few people could successfully enter the Yanyun Sect in the end, Zhou Liao did not choose to go at that time, he was only in his early twenties, he was still young, and he didn't want to fight for a slim chance just like that.

Whewβ€”β€”!Whewβ€”β€”!

Just when Zhou Liao was thinking about some things, there was a sudden strong wind, especially strong wind.

The crowd did not panic, because they had not been in the desert for a long time, and they had long been accustomed to it, and they knew that there might be another tornado in front of them, but they did not know its size.

"Oh no! It's too big this time, dodge to the right at full speed!"

The middle-aged man in the lead is in the realm of unity, and his soul exploration ability is the strongest, he was the first to find out that something was wrong, and at the same time, his face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly in his mouth to remind everyone.
