Chapter 339: In the Desert

"It's too weird here, it's still a green grassland here, how can it be just a line of separation, and it turns into rolling yellow sand? Yue Lanqi said in surprise.

Mo Ming calmed his face, raised his head and glanced at the sky, the sky on both sides did not look different, the sun was still in the sky above the desert, the sky was clear, but the clouds were obviously much less than over the grassland.

"In any case, we still have to keep walking, and we don't know where the entrance to the fourth floor is, and we haven't met anyone from the Maiden Sect. Mo Ming sighed helplessly, and said in a deep voice, although they had harvested many precious heavenly and earthly treasures along the way, they had never found any clues related to the disciples of the Yinnu Sect, and they even doubted that the disciples of the Yinnu Sect had really entered this third layer as they had guessed.

As soon as he stepped into the yellow sand, Mo Ming's brows suddenly wrinkled.

It's hot!

As soon as they entered the scope of the desert, they suddenly seemed to have entered another world, a heat wave rushed to their faces, and the sun, which originally looked very warm and warm, suddenly became scorching, and the scorching sun was exposed, so that their skin was a little dry, as if they had suddenly entered summer from spring.

"It's so hot, what the hell is this place, it's just a step, why has it changed so much? No, I'm going to go back and cool off." Milan complained, and wanted to turn around and return to the grassland, but what made her face instantly ugly was that she couldn't go back, as if a transparent membrane rose from the junction of the desert and the grassland, separating the two worlds, only allowing entry and exit.

Mo Ming didn't look behind him, he had expected this kind of result, the environment on these two sides was too different, it could not be naturally formed, it must be caused by man, so there must be some kind of prohibition between the two, which can prevent the desert from invading the grassland, so it is very normal to not be able to go back.

"Be careful, this desert looks very weird. Mo Ming reminded the second daughter in a low voice that after entering the desert, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

"Hey, how long will it take us to walk through such a large desert?" Milan sighed helplessly, and said to himself: "Looking around, there is not even a small puddle, let alone an oasis." ”

Mo Ming's heart suddenly moved, and then he suddenly realized what the strange feeling in his heart was caused by.

"Have you noticed, in that place before, whether it was a lake, or a forest, or even on the vast grassland on the other side of the ban, we have never seen any animals. Mo Ming frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, and when Yue Lanqi and Milan heard what Mo Ming said, they thought about it carefully, and it was indeed as Mo Ming said, along the way, they saw many plants of all kinds, and even picked some precious things, but as Mo Ming said, except for the three of them, they didn't see any trace of animals at all.

The scorching scorching scorching desert made the sand hot, and the cruel weather and scorching sunshine made the strong Mo Ming feel a little unbearable, not to mention the two girls who followed behind, especially the Moon Spirit Dance, who had lived under the cold blood moon since she was a child, and obviously lacked resistance to this kind of heat, so she had to hold up a spiritual shield to block the damage of the sun and heat, while Milan did the same, and also held up the spiritual shield, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Mo Ming also had to prop up a faint spiritual shield around his body like the two women, what kind of danger was hidden in the desert, they didn't know anything, and they had to maintain enough spiritual power to deal with the dangers that might arise at any time.

However, what made Mo Ming strange was that there was no second color in the desert except for the yellow sand, and they had walked in this barren desert for five or six hours, and they had not encountered any danger except for the somewhat hot sand that had been roasted by the Lie, and they had not found anything in the same way.

"Have you noticed that it's been five or six hours since we entered the desert, but the sun above us never seems to have changed. Milan grinned, touched his somewhat hot forehead, which was still baked by the unstoppable heat through the spiritual power shield, and said strangely.

Mo Ming glanced up at the position of the sun, indeed as Milan said, five or six hours should be the time to enter the night anyway, but there is still a scene at noon on the desert, it is indeed very weird, Mo Ming turned around, at this time, the grassland before has long been invisible, and only then did he suddenly remember that in the previous space, the position of the sun never seemed to change its position, just because of the discovery of precious resources made them ignore this.

Rustling rustling ......

Just when the three of them were puzzled by the strangeness of the sun, there was a sudden rustling sound in front of them, as if someone was shaking the sand.

"What is it?" The three of them hurriedly raised their eyes, but saw that about a hundred meters in front of the three of them, the sand body was tumbling and uplifting, and then falling again, as if a big snake was swimming under the sand.

Mo Ming's eyes sank, and his divine sense rushed out of his body, instantly enveloping the sand within a radius of dozens of miles, but when his divine sense penetrated under the sand body, his face suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "Hurry up, there are many giant monster insects under the sand body." The figure moved, and shot straight out to the right-hand side, which was the side with the fewest strange insects.

"A lot of giant monsters?" Milan looked at the sand snakes that were coming at them, no matter how you looked at them, it didn't look like there were many.

However, as if to confirm Mo Ming's words, suddenly dozens of stout sand snakes suddenly rose around the sand snakes, and quickly approached the location of the three people, Milan's eyelids jumped, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly ran in the direction of Mo Ming, looking at it, where are there a lot, it is simply embattled, surrounded in all directions, and they are the center of the sandworms' encirclement, but I don't know what the reason is, the right side is the least sandworm.

Woo...... Woo......

As if sensing that the prey wanted to escape, the sandworms obviously became irritable, and they let out angry chirps one after another, as if to greet their companions, but Mo Ming's heart faintly gave birth to a strange feeling.

"There seems to be an anxiety in the chirping of these sandworms, don't they want us to go this way?" Mo Ming thought to himself, and at the same time, he also noticed that the sandworms that were outflanking them from the right seemed to be more anxious than the sandworms from other directions, and he actually felt a faint taste of fear from them.

"Are they afraid of something? There's something on the right, these sandworms seem to want to run away. Mo Ming's eyes were slightly downcast, and he looked far away to the right, and then his face suddenly changed, and he saw that the sky in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a faint purple light.

Purple qi came from the east, purple was a very auspicious color in the previous life, but Mo Ming felt a strange aura in this layer of purple.

Boom Boom!

The sandworms finally lost their patience and rushed out of the sand one after another, exposing themselves to the sight of the three of them.

Hiss!

Seeing the strange insects that burrowed out of the sand, the three of them couldn't help but gasp, the appearance of the sandworms was simply terrifying.

The columnar body will never feel crowded even if swallowing an elephant, the body is more than seven meters long, and the whole body is wrapped in a layer of fine pointed hair, and the same yellow color as the sand and gravel allows them to better hide in the sand, hunting prey on the desert, their tail is like a snake tail, layered with fine scales, these can increase their friction with the sand, between the tail swing, the resistance from the sand can push their body to move forward quickly.

At the very front of the body, at the top of the cylinder, the head is as if it has been cut twice by a large knife, and the hollow cylinder is evenly divided into four petals, separated in four directions, like four leaves, and in the center, a large mouth full of sharp teeth is closing one by one, as if it is craving food.

Sandworms don't have eyes, and the only thing they can use to sense the outside is the membranous tissue that clings to the inside of the four leaves, which is their ears that allow them to clearly catch movement on the sand even when they are buried in the sand.

The three of them were already getting closer and closer to the sandworms surrounding them on the right, and Mo Ming's eyes suddenly froze, and the Heart Destroying Sword had already appeared in his hand.

The sword light flashed, and the sound of clanging continued to sound, and the three of them and the sand worms staggered by, leaving only a few broken bodies of the sand worms piled up on the sand pile.

Mo Ming glanced back at the corpses of the sandworms that had been cut into several pieces, his brows furrowed slightly, the bodies of these sandworms were as hard as steel, even the sharp Divine Sword of the Heart had to be slashed more than a dozen times in a row to cut off the body of the sandworms.

"Ahh

Mo Ming raised his eyes, his face changed suddenly, and then he didn't look back, and swept forward, and the speed under his feet increased by a few points.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Mo Ming was horrified in his heart.

I saw that the sandworm that had been cut into several pieces by Mo Ming actually began to squirm, and suddenly cracked in a cross shape from the abdominal cavity in the middle, just like a head, a large mouth stretched out from the column, swallowing the sand and stones under the body, and the body grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even extended a complete body, but the size was smaller than before.

"Is this a split? Cutting it into several pieces can't be killed, but can recover quickly, and the number of them becomes even larger. Mo Ming was secretly shocked in his heart, this creature reminded him of a very common insect that lived in the dirt in his previous life, earthworms, even if they were cut in half, they would each regrow a new body and become a reading individual, but the vitality of these sandworms was even stronger, even if it was cut into a section of one-tenth the size of the original body, it could quickly regrow a complete body.

Such a strong vitality coupled with its hard shell made Mo Ming's scalp a little numb, and he suddenly lost interest in fighting with him, and now the only thought in the hearts of the three of them was to flee quickly.

"Huh?"

Mo Ming's heart moved, and after escaping a distance of dozens of miles, Mo Ming obviously felt that the speed of the sandworm had slowed down.

Woowoo......

The sand worms' cries became more frequent, and there seemed to be a hint of irritability, anxiety and uneasiness, but they did not give up, and still followed the three of them, and when the three of them were about to approach the edge of the area shrouded in purple mist, these sandworms stopped, far away on the sand, swimming back and forth, but did not go further.

Seeing that the sandworm stopped, Mo Ming and the three also stopped, and faintly from the cry of the sandworm, he felt strong anxiety and uneasiness, and even fear.

"Are they afraid of this area?" Mo Ming glanced back at the sky behind him, the purple clouds seemed to have become a little thicker than before, and under the sand shrouded by the purple clouds, there was nothing unusual, Mo Ming released his divine sense, went deep into the sand, and wanted to find out, but what puzzled him was that what was shown in his divine consciousness was also nothing special, all of them were yellow sand and stones.

"What are they afraid of?" Mo Ming's eyes sank slightly, and he thought secretly in his heart.

The three of them confronted the swarm of insects, and in the end, the sandworms seemed to lose their patience first and began to retreat slowly, but Mo Ming noticed that not all the sandworms retreated, some of the sandworms just burrowed into the sand, and when all the sandworms disappeared on the sand, Yue Lanqi and Milan were relieved.

"These disgusting bugs are finally gone, they are just some monsters, they can be divided like this, we can't kill them like this, I'm afraid that before we finish killing, we will be exhausted to death. Milan complained, and Yue Lanqi on the side also looked scared, nodding in agreement.

Mo Ming sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, these sandworms don't seem to give up so easily, only some of them are leaving, and some of them are hiding under the sand in front of them, I'm afraid they want to launch a surprise attack after we go out." ”

"What?" the second girl was startled, and Milan bounced up from the ground with a scream as if she had been stepped on by her tail, looking around vigilantly, looking for the sandworm buried in the sand, "Where?

When Mo Ming pointed out a few places where the sandworms were hidden, Milan was immediately deflated, sat weakly on the sand, and scolded and counted these hateful sandworms.

Mo Ming's face was slightly gloomy, he turned around, his eyes swept, and carefully observed the sand under the purple clouds, compared to these sand worms, Mo Ming was more concerned about this area that even these sand worms with such tenacious vitality were afraid to enter, but to his disappointment, except for the purple qi above the sky, everything on the sand was exactly the same as other places, without any special features.

Unknown territory, Mo Ming did not dare to set foot in it easily, but he also underestimated the patience of these sandworms, after the sandworms sneaked into the sand, motionless, as if hibernating, but never left, and when Mo Ming tried to break through the blockade of the sandworms, these dead insects came back to life in an instant, rushed out of the sand to attack Mo Ming, Mo Ming had to retreat again, and so on, but the sandworms never wanted to leave.

"These damn disgusting guys are staying here, I'm afraid even if we rush out, we'll be re-surrounded by sandworms that come out of other places. Milan gasped and scolded in a low voice, she had just gone out to try it, and before she could cross it, the sandworms buried in the sand swarmed up, and came out of the sand one after another, and pounced on her with their big mouths open, and she ran back in fright.

"It seems that we have only one way to go, and these sandworms seem to be very afraid of the area behind us, and I don't think they dare to chase after us, and the only way out for us now is to keep going. Mo Ming paused, pointed behind him and said.

"However, there may be something more terrifying than these insects from time to time...... "Yue Lanqi and Milan's eyes flashed with hesitation, they also saw that the reason why these sandworms only guarded far away, but did not attack them, was because they were afraid of the area behind them, but what could make such a strong sandworm fear, how could it be a good thing.

"We don't have time to spend here, if the disciples of the Yinnu Sect really enter this space, we must find them as soon as possible and get the key to open the teleportation array, if it drags on for too long, what danger will they encounter, this space is so large, once the key is lost, if you want to find it again, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky, and then we will probably have to go to the demon plane to go around." Mo Ming's eyes were solemn, and he interrupted with a calm face.

Milan's face showed a little ugly, and he shook his head anxiously, and said, "Demons, I don't want to go to that smoky ghost place. ”

The purple clouds are very wide, extending far away.

In the end, Mo Ming and the three of them could only choose to go deeper in the end, walking in the sand area shrouded in purple air, the surroundings seemed very quiet, the quiet atmosphere made the two women nervous, lost interest in talking, and only heard the sound of the soles of the three people's shoes rubbing against the sand and stones on the entire sandy land.

Mo Ming's divine consciousness has always been fully opened, so as to detect any situation that may appear suddenly in time, but the range of entering the purple cloud has been thousands of meters away, but nothing has happened, and no living creatures have even been found, this area is like a dead land, lifeless.
