Chapter 382: An Oasis in the Desert
Tian Chong of the Holy Gate and Wang Ji of the Martial Palace are all low-grade array mages, they have some research on the terrain and know the most basic way to seek advantage and avoid evil.
It was precisely like this that the entrances of the Holy Gate and the Martial Hall into the dark red desert had been carefully selected by the two of them.
Lin Ke probed carefully at the two entrances, gently touched his chin with his fingers, and said, "Wang Ji found this entrance, and it is indeed in the incomplete position of the ancient array, which is very accurate. The entrance that Tian Chong was looking for was quite a bit off. ”
Xiao Bofu was surprised, and felt that Lin Ke's formation attainments were indeed extraordinary.
Otherwise, it is impossible to see so accurately.
The reason why Wang Ji was able to find the correct entrance was not because of his formation attainments, which were more clever than Tian Chong. It's because the Xiao family told him in advance about the entrance to the dark red desert.
Wang Ji knew a lot about the dark red desert.
However, even so, after entering the desert for more than ten miles, Wang Ji still took the wrong path, leaving the warriors of the Martial Palace in a desperate situation.
Xiao Bofu asked, "How did Lin Kegongzi see the remnants of the ancient array?" ”
"The direction of the air flow, the law of sand color, and the change in temperature can all see some clues, but other than that, it is a simple feeling." Lin Kedao.
Xiao Bofu said: "Could it be that Lin Kegongzi has a sixth sense? ”
"Hmm."
Lin Ke generously admitted and did not hide it.
A group of four people stepped into this place of dead corpses from the entrance of the martial arts hall warriors into the desert.
Lin Ke inspired the four-star element armor, and used the golden ring to protect the body, walking in the forefront to open the way, carefully observing the surroundings, not letting go of every detail.
The road was smooth, and they went deeper into the dark red desert for more than ten miles.
Suddenly, Lin carved under the three sand dunes, stopped, and pondered.
"We are here, in the face of quicksand and hurricanes, and countless heads have rushed out of the ground, frantically attacking us."
Xiao Bofu looked around, looking for traces of the martial artists of the Martial Palace.
It's a pity that the wind and sand wiped everything out and left nothing.
"Where did the young master and the martial artists of the Martial Hall go, did they all encounter accidents?" Xiao Bofu's old face was full of pain.
Lin Ke said: "From here, the ancient formation has become more strange and unpredictable, and with my current formation attainment, I can't accurately find out the safe route. However, there are roughly four routes that can be locked. ”
"All four routes can be dead ends, and they will touch the formation. Of course, it is also possible that there is a way to survive and can be safely passed. ”
"Do you want to determine which one is the way to live? You can only try one by one. ”
Xu Dayu walked up to Lin Ke and said, "How do you try?" I got it. ”
"It's better for the old man to come, anyway, even if he dies here, it doesn't matter. Moreover, what we are going to save is the martial artist of the Martial Palace, and it has nothing to do with the Great Fool Brothers. Shaw said.
Lin Ke admired Xiao Bofu's loyalty and courage in his heart, and said: "You don't need to fight, it's just a test path, you can send ghosts, puppet beasts, or drive demon creatures." ”
"The old man is going to catch a group of ghosts and demon creatures."
Xiao Bofu was very worried about Xiao Zhen's safety, and immediately rushed out of the dark red desert along the road he came.
Lin Ke, Xu Dayu, and Luo Qian stayed in the desert and waited quietly.
Xu Dayu stared at the Bodhi tree in the distance and said, "We have obviously gone deep into the desert for more than ten miles, why do I feel that the distance between me and the Bodhi tree has not changed in the slightest?" ”
"It's a little weird, is that Bodhi tree illusory, and we'll never get there?" Luo Qian said.
Lin Ke recalled the ancient secret that Qing Lingxiu had told him, under the Bodhi tree, it is very likely that the bodies of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor and the Qing Ming Emperor were buried.
The bodies of the two Demon Supremes are bigger than the planet.
It's just a desert, how can you bury it?
"It seems that the distance of a hundred miles, not necessarily, it is wider than a thousand miles, what kind of realm has the formation mage who arranged this ancient formation reached?" Lin Ke said darkly.
Xu Dayu said again: "The martial artists of the Martial Palace, they can't really be dead, right?" I listened carefully just now, and there was no sound of a warrior within a hundred miles. ”
Xu Dayu's sense of hearing is naturally extraordinary.
After cultivating the forty-three refining body imprints, the sense of hearing is better than before, within a hundred miles, you can listen to the ant fight, and you can smell the falling leaves.
Lin Ke asked, "Can you hear the movement underground?" ”
Xu Dayu put his ear to the sand, listened for a long time, stood up again, shook his head, and said: "I can only hear the sound of the sand flowing, there are no human heads, or any monsters." ”
Lin Ke's heart moved, and he said, "How far can you listen?" How deep can you listen? ”
"What?" Xu Dayu was stunned.
Lin Ke said: "The sound of sand flowing. ”
"Within a radius of ten miles, between ten feet underground, you can hear it clearly. They are like small streams, crisscrossing them, sometimes rushing into the ground, sometimes flowing laterally, and unpredictable. Xu Dayu said.
Lin Ke clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Great! With your ears, I have greater certainty to cross this desert. ”
Cultivating the treasure body without breaking the silver seal, Lin Ke's sense of hearing is far better than that of ordinary real people, but it can't reach the level of Xu Dayu's meticulousness.
After all, there is still a lack of talent.
……
Deep in the dark red desert.
The air was bitterly cold, the sky was red and snowy, and the ground was full of quicksand.
A star field sky boat more than 100 meters long, traveling at the speed of sound, is traveling on the desert. Because the hull is so large and fast, even the quicksand whirlpool cannot swallow it.
The warriors of the Holy Gate all stood on the deck of the Star Domain Heavenly Boat.
When he set off, there were thirty-five martial arts masters, half of them genius masters and half of them real people. But now, only eighteen are still alive, and all of them are wounded.
The casualties were so heavy that they caused a serious shadow on everyone's hearts.
Below the Star Celestial Boat, on the ground, huge whirlpools appeared, and red sand swept up, flying all over the sky.
In the whirlpool, dozens of feet of black hair flew out, twisted into a whip, and rolled towards a young real person on the deck.
"Boom."
The formation above the Star Domain Heavenly Boat operated and formed a layer of light curtain, blocking the black hair.
The true person of the Holy Gate, with weak legs, sat down on the ground, his face covered with blood and a look of horror, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Bang bang."
In the desert, long black hair continued to fly out and crash into the hull of the ship.
There are also heads flying in the air, chasing the Star Domain Heavenly Boat, and a creepy laugh comes out of their mouths. Their mouths were huge, and from time to time, they would spit out a mouthful of purple evil mist, spraying towards the Star Domain Heavenly Boat, corroding the formation light curtain.
Feng Xiaoqian stood at the stern of the boat, holding a jade sword, staring at them.
"What the hell are they and why are they so fast? The speed of the Star Celestial Boat in the desert has reached the speed of sound, but it can't shake them off. ”
Her long hair was messy, the corners of her mouth were covered with blood, and the four-star Yuan Weapon soft armor robe on her body was seriously damaged, and she was extremely seriously injured, but her eyes were still firm and not sluggish.
Feng Wanpeng looked in the direction where the Bodhi Tree was located, sighed, and said, "We are driving the Star Domain Heavenly Boat, and in this desert, we have fled for at least thousands of miles, but why, there are still hundreds of miles away from the Bodhi Tree?" ”
"Are we going in circles? Or is it that the space here is infinitely far away, and it is never possible to reach the Bodhi tree? ”
A genius life master next to him squatted on the ground with a dull expression, and said, "There is no legendary road here at all, there is only a dead end, and everyone will die here." In the end, just like Senior Sister Zhou, she also became one of those heads. No life, no death, no human or ghost. ”
Controlling the Star Domain Heavenly Boat is indeed able to resist the quicksand and the human head underground, but it consumes too much Yuan Crystal.
The Yuan Crystals they used for cultivation had already been used, and even so, they could only support half a day at most.
If they can't reach the Bodhi Tree within half a day, or can't escape from this land of dead corpses, once the Star Celestial Boat stops, they will definitely die.
Half a day, quickly passed.
The warriors of the Holy Gate were all in despair.
Xie Zihan, who was standing on the top of the sail, narrowed his eyes, pointed to the northwest direction, and said, "There is a broken tower there, go over and take a look." ”
"Broken Tower? This desert, I don't know how ancient, how can there be a broken tower? "Therefore, the martial artists of the Holy Gate are puzzled.
The Yuan Crystal was about to run out, and those heads seemed to be hungry and still chasing behind.
There was no other way, Feng Wanpeng could only control the Star Domain Heavenly Boat and go in the direction pointed by Xie Zihan.
After walking for about fifty miles, the quicksand on the ground gradually became solid, and mud and stones appeared.
Ahead, there is a turquoise forest, the leaves are like jade, the trunk is like white jade, and the ground is full of colorful spirit flowers. Whether it is a jade tree or a spiritual flower, they all exude a hazy brilliance, like a fairyland.
It's like an oasis in the middle of the desert.
In the depths of the oasis, there is a bronze broken tower more than 200 meters high, which is extra tall and exudes a simple charm.
The tower, cut off from the middle, has no top.
In the center of the broken tower, a golden pillar of light was released, which was connected with the branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree above the heavenly dome.
"Look, the heads of the men did not come after them, but they all stopped ten miles away. Isn't it the broken tower, which has divine power to restrain them? ”
"The white jade trunk, the jade leaves, the tree in this oasis, can't it be the legendary Spiegel Treasure Tree?"
The warriors of the Holy Gate, all of whom were extremely excited, jumped off the Star Domain Heavenly Boat and rushed in the direction where the oasis was located.
However, before they could rush into the oasis, a terrible scream rang out in the trees of the oasis.
The cry was full of despair and fear.
"Could it be that there is a warrior who arrived at this oasis before us?"
The Saint Gate warriors all stopped, their expressions were shocked, and they didn't dare to step forward easily.
Half an hour later, I saw more than a dozen figures escaping from the oasis.
They were covered in blood and their faces were full of horror, and when they saw the Holy Gate warrior, they immediately rushed over.
Feng Wanpeng recognized one of them and said, "It's the True Void Realm powerhouse of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce, Wang Zhi." ”
Feng Xiaoqian saw another man fleeing in embarrassment, recognized him, and said in surprise: "Xiao Zhen of the Martial Palace." ”
"Nalan Ming of the Divine Dragon Ancient Sect."
……
Those who escaped from the oasis were all first-class powerhouses.
"What a terrible danger must have been for them to escape so hastily?"
Feng Xiaoqiandai frowned, and then said, "Why are there only a dozen of them, the Thousand Machine Chamber of Commerce, the Martial Palace, and the Divine Dragon Ancient Sect...... What about the other warriors of these forces? Could it be that he is dead? ”
In her heart, she felt a strong sense of crisis, feeling that the oasis in front of her, which seemed to be fairyland, might be more dangerous than the desert outside.
