Chapter 6: The Pursuit of Life and Death in the Ghost Desert (6)
The sand and fog on all sides are vast, the wind is blowing, and the crumbling sand mountains continue to pour like a giant waterfall, rushing along the downward terrain. Gordon had just broken out of the sand, and he was swept up in the sand flow, and his body involuntarily tumbled and slipped all the way.
Artey, Trisy, and Freckles were also caught in the middle of it, stumbling and struggling, drifting with the sand. After a long time, the surging quicksand stopped, and the whole sand mountain collapsed into a flat slope with potholes. Only the wind lingers and whimpers, and from time to time picks up wisps of dust and smoke.
Gordon struggled his way out of the pile of sand, digging out the clogging sand grains and dragging Sinbad out from under the buried sand. The boy remained unconscious, his hands clutching the lamp. The light of the magic lamp flickered a few times, and then dissipated and went out.
In the distance of "Peng", the sand pile broke open, and a freckled head emerged. "Shit, it almost suffocated me. What the hell is going on in this sand mountain" He clutched a water bladder in his hand, cursing and spitting out the sand in his mouth, calling out, "Trisy Gordon Atai"
"I'm here." Gordon was hugging Sinbad upside down, shaking off the sand that was clinging to the boy's body.
"See Tracey and Atay?" Freckles stumbled over, and the sand slopes formed by the sand mountains were too vast to be seen at a glance.
"With the skills of the two of them, they will definitely be able to climb out of the sand and join us." Gordon squeezed Sinbad's chest and back with both arms, and slapped it repeatedly, and the source force spider silk penetrated Sinbad's internal organs.
Freckles pouted at Sinbada Nunu: "You have been carrying this kid all the time, is he of great use?" I don't believe you're going to save him out of kindness. β
Gordon glanced at the other man, and Freckles was right. He liked Sinbad, and the Cobra family owed something to the dead old lion, but Gordon never made decisions purely out of emotion.
Just as he helped Atai to defect to the Blood Prison Society this time, there is both mutual friendship and interests.
"Sinbad's magic lamp can help us. Especially when dealing with leopards, leopards would never have imagined that we would have such a hole card. Gordon explained.
"Magic lamp?" Freckles stared at the magic lamp for a while, and raised an eyebrow, "It can't be a monster, right?" β
Gordon nodded, "This is an ancient artifact with great strength and agility, and it may have other hidden uses. It's just that his brain is not very good, and he likes others to praise him for being beautiful. β
"Monsters have quirks, and some monsters like to be beaten every day."
"This monster has been injured a bit, and it will take a few days to recover. When it comes to coming back to life, we need to get acquainted with each other and practice some tactical coordination. With Sinbad, the power of our combo will increase a lot. β
"This kid has shit luck. As far as I know, anyone who is associated with a monster will become a big man. Freckles had a complicated expression on his face, remembering that back then, Qiya had formed a companionship with seven powerful monsters, and he was invincible for a while, making the entire family famous and glorious.
Thinking of this, Freckles suddenly felt a tingling in his heart, and his choice to be an ordinary person was equivalent to extinguishing the hope of reviving the family with his own hands.
Sinbad sneezed suddenly, and sand squirted out of his nose. Gordon slapped him on the back, Sinbad's throat twitched, and a sticky clump of sand erupted from his mouth. Gordon put him down, and Sinbad fell to his knees, coughing violently, spitting out sand in and out of his mouth.
Gordon crouched down and looked at the boy: "This is an adventure, you will encounter an accident at any time, and you will die quietly at any time." Do you want to follow us on now? β
Sinbad coughed for a while, raised his face, and his eyes shone brightly: "I saw it, that monster in the sand mountain is so interesting, Mr. Ghoul, this world is really amazing" He touched the magic lamp in his hand excitedly, without a little fear.
Gordon smiled and patted Sinbad on the head. At that moment, the call was heard in the distance, and AtaΓ― pulled Tricy up the sloping sand slope, waving to them excitedly.
"Oops" Freckles saw the two of them, but his face changed.
"What's wrong?" Sinbad asked, puzzled.
"We don't have any horses." Gordon replied. After this battle, all their horses were lost, even the water bladder and Yu grain were buried in the quicksand, and Atai even lost his mace.
With no horses and no food, it is difficult for them to survive in the desert, let alone hunt down horse thieves and snipe leopards.
The worst thing was that when Gordon walked up to Atai, the barbarian boy was shaken and restless, and the robe that was clinging to his body was sometimes bulging, sometimes shaking, and making a loud sound.
"Atai, you're about to evolve?" Freckles cried out in a voice.
Atai scratched his scalp with a wry smile: "I can't see you, I'm in a hurry, and the strength of the punch is a little stronger, and there are signs of a breakthrough all of a sudden." "He had already cultivated to the pinnacle of the black lead level, and he could break through the bottleneck at any time and step into the gray tin level.
"How long can you hold it back?" Gordon's expression was solemn, once Atai reached the gray tin level, he would resonate with the origin of the world, automatically enter the "Ten Lands", and completely separate from them.
Atay would stay in the Ten Lands for a period of time until his resonance with the World's Origin faded away, and then he was ostracized by the Ten Lands. At that time, he may appear anywhere in the world: the sea, the jungle, the streets of the city, other places, the homes of strangers......
In the history of cultivation, there have been many unlucky people who, after breaking away from the Ten Lands, fell directly into a desperate situation such as an active volcano or a poisonous swamp, and died on the spot. The most famous example is that a silver-level warrior appeared in the palace of the Land of Mist after being ostracized by the Ten Lands, and was besieged and killed by patrolling guards.
These are collectively referred to as the cultivator's "natural calamity**", as long as the martial artist evolves, the martial artist will have to endure the corresponding calamity. Often, the higher the level of evolution, the more dangerous the natural disaster**. It is rumored that the diamond level is not the end of cultivation, and it can still break through if it goes up, but the natural disasters that follow are fierce and unparalleled, and they will definitely die.
"I don't know how long I can suppress it." Atai shook his head blankly, "It seems that as soon as I touch the source power, I will immediately advance to evolution. β
"That is, you can only do it again." Gordon's heart sank slightly, Atai's source power was the most powerful, and the Thunder Breaking Evil Fist originated from the Ancient Sand Cave Clan, which was powerful and powerful, and it was an indispensable part of Gordon's plan. Now that the evolution of the barbarian boy is imminent, Gordon's side is equal to a big loss of strength, and the fight with a gust of wind and a leopard suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
"That's a good thing." Freckles was silent for a while, then smiled reluctantly, "If Atai enters the Ten Lands, at least he can get rid of the pursuit of the Blood Prison Society, and they can't track your traces at all." β
"It's all my fault," Atai knocked on his head in frustration.
"Are we still going to carry out the original plan?" Tricy asked uneasily, looking at the crowd.
