The vast desert that is all over the oasis, from the perspective of vitality concentration and species resources, the cultivation environment is indeed much better than the Yatu Wasteland, and in the surrounding oases, large and small, there are more than a dozen third-rate races, two quasi-second-rate races with demon powerhouses in charge.

Under the command of two quasi-second-rate races, each of which is attached to seven or eight third-rate races, they manage the vast desert with a radius of 100,000 miles, and in the largest oasis, they have established the only city in the desert, which is the so-called sand city.

Unlike the small city in the Yatu Wasteland that didn't even have a name, Sand City was a small city with real scale and order, with forbidden air realms arranged, defensive formations carved, and demon venerables guarding the city all year round.

Sand City is a market for the trade of various ethnic groups around it, and it is also a hub for foreign travelers to replenish supplies, and it can be said to be the economic center of the desert region, even on the map of the entire Ancient Plains, there are black dots marked as Sand City.

The third-rate race auctioned the lava spirit essence in Sand City, firstly, to attract people to auction for a better price, and secondly, to ensure the safety of the race itself, so as to avoid the occurrence of similar bad incidents of forced buying and selling.

Sand City has a common set of rules, and all the races that trade in Sand City are bound by rules and protected by rules, and anyone who violates the rules will be attacked by the two quasi-second-rate races.

Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, and those who want to trade in Shacheng will pay property as a protection fee, and the price of holding an auction is higher, but the benefits and disadvantages are weighed, and the benefits and disadvantages do not need to be detailed.

The news that the lava spirit essence was about to be auctioned in Sand City and had been sent to the quasi-second-rate race spread, and many demon clans with other plans had to give up, but more demon clans were still full of interest, and they changed their wealth and belongings to make full preparations for the auction.

The old man in the Taoist robe had just dozed off when someone sent a pillow, he was suffering from the slow progress of flame spar refining, and when he heard the news of the auction of lava spirit essence in Shacheng, he suddenly felt his heart bloom, the lava spirit essence grew in the deepest part of the underground magma, and was nourished by the lava fire for a long time, which was originally a high-purity fire attribute energy.

If he can successfully obtain the lava spirit essence, he will definitely be able to solve Venerable Mei's urgent need, but he is vigilant again, the appearance of the lava spirit essence is too much of a coincidence, could it be that someone deliberately took the opportunity to lure himself out?

Immediately, Venerable Mei shook his head again, threw this conjecture out of his mind, and got the matter of the flame crystal, only he and the beast venerable knew, although the beast venerable's spiritual intelligence was not low, but he had lived in the barren mountains for a long time, isolated from the world, where was there a plan to lure the snake out of the hole?

Besides, how could the Beast Venerable know that he needed the lava essence just right? The power of greed and lust is that it can temporarily make people let their guard down, make people ignore threats, can make the cowardly crazy, and can also make the sane lose people.

The old man in the robe attaches more importance to the flame spar than his own alarm system, so that he loses his usual calm, after careful consideration, although his matter is dangerous, it is worth trying, and he is unwilling to take risks, where is the opportunity?

Determined to go to Shacheng to get the lava essence, the old man in the robe was not reckless, stability is the innate nature, in order to ensure the smooth plan, in addition to leaving the guard force to ensure the safety of the lair, other demon saint-level commanders, he will take it with him.

Compared with the flame spar and the lava spirit essence, the life and death of the demon saints in Shangguan Yan District is not so important in the eyes of Venerable Mei, there are only a few demon saints left under his command, and he himself feels that it is not enough, how can he still divide his strength to confirm her life and death?

As for whether it would be Shangguan Yan's betrayal, killing the eyes and ears around him and fleeing, he didn't have any worries about this, he firmly grasped the weaknesses of each commander, Shangguan Yan didn't cherish wealth, didn't covet power, and didn't seem to have any flaws.

But the old man in the robe knew in his heart that the only thing that the woman cared about was the only daughter Shangguan Ling, as long as Shangguan Ling was in his hands, even if she borrowed Shangguan Yan's ten guts, she would not be able to escape alone, everyone knew that Venerable Mei was ruthless.

After Shangguan Yan returned to the Yatu Wasteland, the old man in the Taoist robe asked the two female squad leaders to pretend to be maids and sent to take care of Shangguan Ling's food, clothing, and daily life, which was both protection and surveillance, and after Shangguan Yan disappeared, he did not withdraw the people.

The possibility of Shangguan Yan having an accident is not small, but it is not ruled out that she is in a hidden danger somewhere, although she did not let the demon saint leader come out, the old man in the robe also selected ten peak demon kings, all of whom are agile and nimble.

Ten peak demon kings formed a search and rescue team, each with their own unique skills, and the ability to adapt to changes is also extremely strong, as long as they don't encounter a few beast saints and beast lords, they will protect themselves in the sub-earth wasteland, and send ten people out of the jungle in person, and the old man in the Taoist robe also began to prepare and auction the materials of the lava spirit essence.

In his early years, the old man in the robe traveled around all walks of life, accumulating an unusually rich net worth, and in recent hundreds of years, it has been divided into two places for development, whether it is the sub-earth wasteland or the oasis jungle, there are many travelers who come and go.

There are lone explorers, young people of all races, some are powerful, some are alone, and those who don't seem to be easy to mess with, all the demon saints stay away from them, and only engage in normal trade with them.

And those who are not very strong, but carry a lot of treasures, will disappear into the vast Gobi without knowing it, and their bones will be eaten clean by all kinds of wild beasts, and there will be no trace left.

The old man in the Dao robe roughly estimated the value of the wealth he has now, that is, compared to the two quasi-second-rate races in the desert, there is no problem in taking the lava spirit essence according to the normal way, even if he unfortunately meets the stunned young man with deep pockets, he can solve it by abnormal means.

Originally, the cultivation of the peak demon venerable of the old man in the Taoist robe, like the ordinary demon venerable sitting in Shacheng, was not taken into his eyes at all, as long as he was willing to take risks, he could snatch it at any time, and there was at least an eighty percent chance of success.

But the matter of the flame spar is very important, the old man in the robe doesn't want to take any risks, although his own strength is strong, the demon saints available to his subordinates, except for Shangguan Yan, there are only five people, and among the two quasi-second-rate races, the number of demon saints is the lowest and has both hands.

Those two ordinary demon venerables joined forces to besiege, and then relied on the defensive formation of Shacheng, the old man in the Dao robe also had to be cautious, if the matter was big and reached the ears of the beast venerable, that would be the biggest trouble, so he could only participate in the auction step by step.

Shacheng is located in the largest oasis in the desert, 50,000 miles away from the jungle, the old man in the robe set off from the cottage with his team, it takes ten days to arrive, and there used to be trade in Shacheng, Red Tiger for

The route is more familiar, so I became the guide of this trip.

As for the candidate for the demon saint who stayed in the cottage, it was decided by drawing lots from Liu Yi's four people, and coincidentally, the person selected this time was still Gongsun Shu, who stayed in the nameless town last time, which made him speechless and helpless when he wanted to follow him to see the world.

In addition to the four demon saints of Chihu, Liu Yi, Nanshan, and Yuwo, the old man in the Taoist robe selected a team of 100 people from the cottage, half of which had reached the peak of the demon king, and the rest were all high-level demon kings with extraordinary combat power.

The cottages in the oasis jungle should be regarded as a training barracks, and it is the place where Venerable Mei specially handed over to the Red Tiger to train warriors, and the demon clan living in the cottage is not as many as the nameless town, and there are less than 10,000 people when it is full.

At the beginning, there were only a few hundred people in the cottage, and it was the Red Tiger who was instructed to find orphans from the outside world, with extraordinary roots, bloodlines, and minds, and those orphans grew up and cultivated here until the end of their lives, living in the jungle for generations, and with the passage of hundreds of years, it has developed to thousands of people today.

The atmosphere of martial arts practice in the cottage is strong, making full use of the cruelty of the law of the jungle, encouraging competition and even fighting, survival of the fittest, the strong are respected and sought after, the weak are abandoned and expelled, and there are old people buried in the bones, and new people continue to join.

From the sense of battle and loyalty alone, it far exceeds the miscellaneous army of the City Lord's Mansion, fifty percent of the nearly ten thousand people are demon kings, and two percent are high-level demon kings, and the old man in the Taoist robe has injected a lot of hard work, and he is the main force of the trump card firmly held in his hands.

Too many people are easy to affect the process, not conducive to hiding the march, there are fewer people and it is inconvenient to do things, there is no one to even fight, hundreds of demon kings and strong people have gone through strict elimination, stepping on the crowd, and they are the elite of the elite.

Just for the sake of a few accompanying positions, everyone grabbed their heads and bloodshed, and took out a desperate posture, the lover tore his face, and the brothers turned against each other, just wanting to serve the old man in the Taoist robe, loyalty, the sun and the moon can be seen!

Cultivating to reach the realm of the demon saint, casting the holy platform, reborn, like a new life, no longer need to absorb essence from food, maintain the source energy of life, the food demand of the demon king is greatly reduced, but he also has to eat from time to time.

With a team of hundreds of demon kings, Venerable Mei didn't want to rely on hunting halfway to satisfy his hunger, it would be too much waste of time and energy, and he thought of the five-grade beast Saint Yan Python that seized the cave and killed it a few days ago.

So, the old man in the Taoist robe took out the corpse of the Yan Python from the treasure house, and distributed all the flesh and blood of the Beast Saint to the accompanying demon king, so that they could make mature carnivorous jerky and take it on the road to replenish their physical strength, which also saved trouble.

The five-grade beast saint is full of treasures, bones and fangs can cast holy weapons, beast cores can refine saint-level pills, and even flesh and blood contain huge energy, long-term consumption can enhance physique, improve cultivation, and the value is extraordinary, and you can't buy demon crystals.

In order to make the trip smooth, the old man in the robe directly distributed it to the demon kings in the team, and some of the demon kings took too little in awe, and were even reprimanded by him, and strictly ordered that food must be kept sufficient, which shows the importance he attaches to this trip.

After checking the situation, the old man in the Taoist robe took the demon crystal that he thought was enough, and hid the animal skin bag containing the flame crystal in his arms, and told Gongsun Shu several times not to act rashly when he encountered the situation, so he disappeared into the vast desert with a team of more than 100 people......
