Volume 1 There Are Fish in the North Chapter 129 The Ancient City of the Desert (Part II)
Everyone looked at Ye Qiu, full of envy, the ice attribute spirit warrior really took a lot of convenience in this desert.
Then this guy actually made a popsicle and ate it by himself, leaving everyone stunned. If it was envy before, then in the eyes of these people now, it is dissatisfaction.
Lin Feiyu stretched out a hand and said with a smile: "Give me one too." ”
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then got one for him, everyone watched him eat with relish, swallowed saliva directly, Zhou Kang also stretched out his hand, and Ye Qiu simply came to everyone with such a one.
Zhou Kang smashed the popsicle and said, "It would be better if you put some sugar." ”
For a long time after that, ice-attribute spirits were extremely popular in this desert, and these ice-type spirits could make a fortune just by selling popsicles, and then this kind of thing gradually spread throughout the continent, as long as it was summer, ice-attribute powerhouses could always make a lot of money.
As it went deeper, everyone began to complain, this desert is not a place for people to stay at all, at a glance, except for thousands of miles of yellow sand, there is nothing else, but also to keep moving forward against the sun, if you are unlucky, encounter a sandstorm, then even a small life is not your own.
All in all, walking in the desert is simply miserable.
That's why it's only been two days since I entered the desert, and many people began to complain about hardship, and on the third day of the Tao, they simply didn't even have the strength to complain.
At this moment, everyone was resting under a huge sand dune, Lin Feiyu looked at Ye Qiu and said bitterly: "I really don't know how you cultivated, now you are already a spirit master of the tenth order, but unfortunately there is not even a mosquito in this desert, let alone a heavenly spirit beast, otherwise I can help you directly advance to the Spirit Sect." ”
He also shook his head with a smile and said, "The exercises I practice are different from yours, except for the divine dragon, it is useless to devour other spirit beasts." ”
As soon as these words came out, even Zhou Kang on the side was stunned and asked, "Shenlong?"
Ye Qiu nodded and said: "The last time I was promoted to a spirit master, I devoured a divine dragon, so I offended the Heavenly Extreme Sect, and this time I was promoted to the Spirit Sect, and it was the same." ”
Lin Feiyu frowned and said, "You're not kidding, are you?"
Ye Qiu asked rhetorically, "You think I'm joking?"
Zhou Kang was puzzled: "But the Divine Dragon is the top existence among the spirit beasts, and it is a powerful existence that can be comparable to the Spirit Saint powerhouse, not to mention this for the time being, the Divine Dragon has disappeared for a long time in the entire continent now, where to find it." ”
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "You forgot, last time I was in the imperial capital, didn't there be a guy who said that there was one in the palace?"
Lin Feiyu was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Qiu and said, "You don't think about ......"
Ye Qiu nodded and did not speak.
The two of them were stunned, and they didn't speak anymore, they just looked at Ye Qiu, they really couldn't understand what the little fish that Ye Qiu awakened was.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Not good!"
Everyone looked and saw that on the thousands of miles of yellow sand, a huge tornado was constantly sweeping towards this side, and where it passed, it directly rolled up the yellow sand.
Zhou Kang got up and said, "It won't be so unlucky." ”
The old man shouted, "Dig a pit." ”
As soon as these words came out, several of those mercenary groups suddenly summoned natal spirit beasts, and then the ground suddenly flew sand and rocks, and in an instant, a bottomless pit appeared on the ground.
As soon as this pit appeared, these mercenary groups jumped into it one after another, and the old man looked at the group of people from the Oriental Academy and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, go in quickly." ”
Feng Changsheng nodded, Ye Qiu and the others jumped into the pit one after another, and when everyone entered the pit, the head was suddenly submerged by the sand, and it was pitch black all around, and only the sound of sand and gravel collision and wind could be heard.
When everything was calm outside, an old man's voice came from the darkness: "Go out." ”
Then there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and the light appeared again overhead, and then everyone reappeared on the ground, and then looked around, it was no longer the same as before, but it was still thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Everyone was still afraid for a while at this moment, just with the momentum of the tornado just now, even if it was a Spirit Sect powerhouse, he would be directly involved in it, and then buried under the yellow sand, and finally turned into a dry corpse.
The old man looked at everyone's expressions and said coldly: "This is not bad, if you encounter a black sandstorm, then you can only settle your destiny." ”
Zhou Kang did frown and said, "Now that the direction is chaotic, where should we go?"
A mercenary pulled out a compass, which he stared at for a moment, then put it away and pointed in a direction.
The old man nodded, led the camel dug out of the sand, and continued on his way.
After walking aimlessly for two more days, one by one with a dry mouth, like an eggplant that had been sunburned, and now they all regretted entering the depths of this desert, they knew that they would suffer so much, they said that they would not come, and they spent so much money, this is simply spending money to buy sin.
But if they want to go back now, it is impossible, because without these mercenary groups to lead the way, they will not be able to find their way back at all, and I am afraid that they will only die faster when the time comes.
After walking aimlessly for another day, it was only at night that the temperature in the air slowly dropped, but this was only for a while, and in the middle of the night, it would be terribly cold, and after walking in such a large temperature difference between day and night for so many days, ordinary people would have fallen ill a long time ago, but fortunately, these people are spiritual people, even if they used to be pampered in the family, but they are not so fragile.
Standing on the sand dunes, looking from a distance, heaven and earth are one, starry, not a scene, such a scenery is difficult to see in the Yunxue Empire and the Nanyang Empire.
After a few days of companionship, the group of Oriental Academy also became familiar with these mercenaries, and they sat together at this moment and chatted, naturally about the ancient city.
One student asked, "Is there really an ancient city buried in this desert?"
A mercenary shook his head and said: "Actually, we just heard that at the beginning, people didn't believe it, and then someone dug up a lot of treasures in the depths of the desert, and more and more people believed in it, and more and more people entered the desert, but unfortunately after so many years, I haven't heard that anyone has found any clues about this ancient city." ”
Zhou Kang asked, "How long have you been looking here?"
The mercenary smiled and said: "It's been five or six years, it doesn't matter if you can find it anyway or not, as long as you can earn more money to go back, it's enough, and I don't want to be that peerless powerhouse." ”
One student asked, "In the ancient city, is there really a strong inheritance?"
Everyone hesitated, and the old man coughed and said, "It is rumored that the ancient city is the remains of a peerless powerhouse, and his hard work and treasures are in it, I heard that someone has found this ancient city before, but no one can come out alive." ”
Lin Feiyu frowned and asked, "Why is this?"
The old man said: "Some people say that in this city, there are all kinds of traps, and there are powerful corpse slaves guarding the city, even if it is a strong person at the level of Lingzun, it is difficult to defeat these corpse slaves." ”
Ye Qiu frowned and asked, "What is a corpse slave?"
Feng Changsheng explained: "In ancient times, there was a secret method that could refine dead people into corpse slaves, these corpse slaves were unconscious, and only obeyed the orders of their masters, and the strength of corpse slaves depended on their realm level before their deaths, and the corpse slaves refined would maintain their previous realm, and some even retained their original skills. ”
The eyes widened for the first time they had heard of such a thing.
Feng Changsheng said: "In some ancient ruins, corpse slaves will be seen, but these corpse slaves have always inherited the will of their masters, and once they see the light, they will dissipate into nothingness. ”
The old man took over and said, "But this secret method has now been lost, so many people want to find a corpse slave and study the method of refining. ”
One student said, "What's the use of learning such a cruel secret method?"
"Cruel?" The old man snorted coldly, looked at the student and said: "Little doll, walking on this continent, it's good to be alive, why don't you care if you are cruel or not, if you have a corpse slave by your side who can fight against the strong man of the Spirit King to protect you, will you still feel cruel?"
Everyone talked a lot, and from what these people talked about, everyone knew a lot of unknown ancient secrets, in addition to the corpse slave mentioned earlier, what elixir became a spirit, what divine consciousness was immortal, and so on.
According to what Feng Changsheng and the old man said, reaching the realm after reaching the Spirit Saint, basically reaching the realm of immortality and immortality, this made Ye Qiu's heart full of doubts, since there were so many peerless powerhouses in ancient times, since these people have reached the level of immortality and immortality, where have they gone now?
Could it be that these people are really hiding in a corner of the continent?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask them, because he knew that a strong man like Feng Changsheng would definitely not know these things, and maybe even the old guy in the technical building might not know.
Thinking of the old guy in the technical building, he couldn't help but fall into thought, it's been so many years, the old guy said to deal with some things, and he doesn't know if he has dealt with it, or that this old thing has died in some unknown corner?
If that's the case, then he really wants to cry without tears, his own Yuan Beast needs to devour the Divine Dragon to advance, if there is no help from this old guy, with his own strength, let alone the Divine Dragon, even a Heavenly Spirit Beast is difficult to do.
Moreover, the strongest person in the Eastern Academy is the dean, but this dean is also at the level of the Spirit Emperor, not to mention facing those powerhouses of the Yunxue Empire's royal family, even if it is extremely difficult for him to deal with a divine dragon, let alone help him devour the divine dragon.
And even if he could do all this, but the Oriental Academy was there after all, and he always had to take care of the Oriental Academy and countless students.
He looked up at the sky, starry and shining, and sighed: "Old fellow, when will you come back, didn't you say that you will come back before my spirit master is ten steps?"
"Don't die, old fellow, or I won't let you go even if you become a ghost. ”
Lying on the hot sand, I fell asleep in a hazy ......
Early the next morning, the group continued to move forward, and as they continued to go deeper, the original yellow sand really appeared as the cacti mentioned by Zhou Kang before, with thighs as thick, taller than people, and covered with thorns.
The old man said in a deep voice, "Be careful, these thorns are highly poisonous. ”
Ye Qiu and the others looked at it, only to see that on the spikes at the top, there were many flying birds, and they had all been completely dried, and in the sand, there were still many white bones buried, which were obviously caused by the decomposition of the corpses of some large creatures.
Ye Qiu looked at these white bones and frowned deeply, because he could smell the smell of danger in the air, and he had an extremely keen intuition about danger.
It was he who involuntarily took off the golden gun behind his back, and the rest of the people also took out their weapons, and their faces were solemn one by one.
"Hiss ......"
There were scalp-tingling sounds in the sand, all over the ground, some even at your feet.
Everyone stopped, clutching their weapons tightly.
"Mandala snake?" the old man frowned tightly, his face full of bitterness.
Zhou Kang frowned and said, "The rumored mandala snake that can nibble on an elephant?"
The old man nodded heavily and said, "Be careful, once this snake appears, there are extremely large numbers, and it is highly poisonous, as long as it is touched, you will have to lose your life." ”
Everyone signaled their understanding, and then set up a formation.
"Whew!"
There was a sound of breaking wind, and a shadow rushed out of the sand and soil, rushing towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu's golden spear was shocked, and it stabbed directly at this shadow, and the next moment, blood spilled, and this shadow fell directly on the sand, and it was actually a long fiery red snake.
With the first, there is a second, third, and fourth in an instant...... In an instant, thousands of long fiery red snakes appeared around, some of them rose directly into the sky and crashed into everyone, some raised their heads on the sand, and some slowly rowed towards everyone......
With so many snakes appearing together, just looking at them can make people's scalps tingle, and if it weren't for their determination, I'm afraid some people would have been scared to the ground.
Everyone summoned their own spirit beasts, and then directly set up a formation to fight, these long snakes are just ordinary spirit beasts, if they appear alone, it is difficult to bring any threat to a spirit master, but so many long snakes appear together, it is simply impossible to prevent it.
Soon, someone fell in the sand and was drowned by the snakes, who were left with only a pile of bones.
Ye Qiu, Zhou Kang, Lin Feiyu, and Feng Changsheng blocked the students of Oriental Academy in the middle, not only erecting barriers, but also constantly chopping and slashing the snakes that came from the impact, and soon the ground was filled with countless broken snakes, and those blood splashed on the barrier, it actually made a "hissing" sound, and then emitted white smoke.
Such a violent toxin, Ye Qiu had never seen it before, and the cacti around him were instantly corroded to the point that only piles of green liquid remained, and then melted into the sand.
Lin Feiyu said in a deep voice: "It's not a way to go on like this. ”
Zhou Kang said: "I remember that there is a record in the book that once the mandala snake appears, there must be a leader, as long as this leader can be found, these snakes can temporarily retreat." ”
Ye Qiu asked directly, "What does the leader look like?"
During the questioning, he glanced around with his eyes, observing the group of snakes behind him, hoping to find a different snake.
Feng Changsheng suddenly snorted coldly, his body left the ground, and then he turned in the air and smashed directly into the sand, and then his whole body disappeared directly into the sand, and the next moment, these snakes slowly retreated, and then drowned in the sand.
Feng Changsheng's body rushed out of the sand, and in his hand he was holding a long fiery red snake with thick arms, which was actually dead.
Feng Changsheng threw the long snake on the ground, looked at the group of snakes that had disappeared around him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qiu's golden spear was shocked, and he stabbed directly at this shadow, and the next moment, blood
