Poplar shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Who knows, maybe it's because it's across continents and too far apart." In addition, the Ipache Desert is too wide, and I don't know where to go missing, so the more people I can find, the better. ”

Li Fei nodded absentmindedly and said, "Okay, I'll join." ”

Bai Yang said happily: "Okay! With the addition of Daoyou, our team has reached five people, and we should have good strength, and we can set off at any time." By the way, what do you call a fellow Daoist?"

Li Fei replied casually: "Li Fei." ”

A moment later, Li Fei followed Bai Yang to the temporary station, which was just a relatively clean big stone, and the other three Taoist friends were meditating and cultivating. Bai Yang enthusiastically announced, "Our search team has finally assembled, and this new addition is Li Fei Daoyou. ”

The three cultivators looked at Li Fei, nodded, and said nothing. Li Fei also looked at the three of them and found that they were all monks in the late stage of foundation building. The first one on the left is a female cultivator, with a plump figure, a black skirt and black veil, unable to see the true face, the highest cultivation, has reached the realm of the great circle in the later stage of foundation building; in the middle is a tall and thin old man, with very small eyes, as if she is sleeping all the time; and finally an old monk, full of red light, with a kind appearance.

Bai Yang introduced to Li Fei from left to right: "Black Plum Fairy, Qiming Dao Chief, Fa Ji Master." ”

Li Fei nodded and said politely: "Li Fei has seen three Taoist friends, and on the next way to search, I hope that I can sincerely cooperate with all Taoist friends and successfully find the stone stele." ”

The Venerable Master recited the Buddha's name and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since the team is ready, let's set off as soon as possible." Of course, the whole team as a whole should still nominate a captain in order to unify and coordinate and give full play to the full strength of our team!"

Qiming Dao Chang's eyelids moved, his eyes showed a slit, and he said casually: "The five of us take the Black Plum Fairy cultivation as the highest, so let's recommend the Black Plum Fairy as the captain." ”

The Black Plum Fairy shook her head and said in a nonchalant voice, "I'm not good at socializing, so let's choose one of the four of you." ”

Daoist Qiming looked at the Venerable Master of the Law Pole and said, "Then the Venerable Master of the Law Pole will work hard." ”

The Venerable Master of Fa Ji shook his hand again and again, and said, "I have been traveling all over the world, and I have been walking alone, I think it is more appropriate for Daoist Qiming to be the head of Qiming, and the two of you Bai Yang and Li Fei will also express your opinions." ”

Bai Yang's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the Master of the Law Pole thinks that the Qiming Dao Master is more suitable, I agree. ”

Li Fei said seriously: "I also agree!"

Daoist Qiming smiled bitterly and said modestly: "I really don't dare to be...... Thanks to the love of all Taoist friends, I will reluctantly make it difficult for once. Although the Ipache Desert is big enough, it's better to start early. We will now go to the station of the Immortal Source Sect to receive the Positioning Ten Thousand Miles Talisman and officially accept the task. ”

Naturally, everyone had no opinion, and they all got up and walked towards a newly built three-story building located at the entrance to the desert. When the five of them arrived in front of the small building, the Daoist Qiming successfully received the task, greeted him, and the group of five entered the desert.

After entering the desert, not long after the sun had just risen, Li Fei felt good, seeing the endless desert scenery for the first time, although it was not refreshing, but it also had a magnificent feeling.

In the beginning, there were scattered oases, as well as some drought-tolerant desert plants, and there were many references as far as the eye could see. After more than half an hour, the five of them had completely entered the depths of the desert, and there was a vast desert in all directions, if it weren't for the fact that there were many items abandoned by their predecessors along the way, this ancient road would have been unrecognizable.

Although Li Fei and his party were the first to enter the desert, they were certainly not the first group today, and the strange thing was that there were no traces on the ancient road. Li Fei raised his own questions.

Bai Yang explained: "We got the news relatively late, and some forces may have already known some more detailed information, so the previous paragraph flew directly over. We chose to walk from the beginning because no one has found the monument so far. We analyzed it last night, and it's also possible that the previous clues weren't necessarily accurate. ”

Li Fei nodded in approval and continued: "This stone tablet does not have any special fluctuations, it is more difficult to find it in such a vast desert than to find a needle in a haystack! If someone deliberately hides it, it is too easy, and it is basically impossible to find it." ”

Poplar smiled bitterly: "If there is a feature that is easy to find, it will not be our turn to find it...... However, the Immortal Source Sect said that the stone tablet must still be in the Ipache Desert. In addition, according to legend, the air humidity directly above the stele will be higher, of course, it is also related to the distance between the stele and the ground, and the deeper the buried, the worse the effect. ”

Li Fei showed a hint of surprise and said curiously: "There is still this kind of characteristic, if it is true, it can really be regarded as a favorable factor in the desert." ”

Qiming Daoist said: "That's just a legend, even if it's true, that little difference, ordinary searchers just rush by, it's difficult to find." ”

Li Fei and his entourage lined up and continued to move forward. Li Fei's heart moved, and when everyone was not paying attention, he took out a relatively advanced electronic hygrometer, set a small upper limit alarm value, and hung it on his belt.

An hour later, a search team of more than a dozen people overtook Li Fei and the others and walked quickly forward. Then, every short while, a team of varying numbers overtook it.

By the time it was close to noon, Li Fei had lost count of how many teams he had encountered, not to mention thousands of cultivators.

Daoist Qiming has always been very patient, and he is not in a hurry to see the teams surpassing, and he still keeps moving forward at a speed that is neither fast nor slow. Of course, there are also teams like Li Fei and others, who are slowly searching.

Just after noon, the clear sky quickly became overcast. The wind was imperceptibly stronger, and the dust raised hastened the darkness.

Daoist Qiming motioned for everyone to stop their progress, and said worriedly: "This wave of sandstorms is estimated to be very strong, and it is likely to last for a long time, I am really worried that others will take the lead." ”

The Venerable Master of the Dharma Pole pronounced a Buddha name, frowned and said, "I heard that during the sandstorm, some people are fishing in troubled waters, so everyone should be vigilant. ”

In less than a stick of incense, the strong noon of the sun quickly switched to night, coupled with the strange howling of the wind and sand, Li Fei had a feeling of unease, as if there were thousands of ghosts howling. Although it is said that cultivators are not afraid of ghosts, in the face of the powerful power of nature, Li Fei feels that he is so small.

Li Fei tried to release his divine thoughts and explore ahead, but he was soon taken aback! It turned out that Bai Yang only said that the sandstorm would affect his divine thoughts, but Li Fei didn't care too much, thinking that it was only a slight impact.

After practice, Li Fei realized that the impact was too great, just like playing a CD and encountering a large number of mosaics, the distance was more than several miles, and it was impossible to accurately sense it. Li Fei once again had the feeling of being in the Yunhai Beast, and secretly raised his vigilance against Bai Yang and the others.

Daoist Qiming gathered everyone together and said, "There must be no way to move forward now, let's discuss whether to wait in place, or find a relatively sheltered place to take shelter for a while." ”

The Black Plum Fairy still said in that nihilistic tone: "It's up to you to decide, I don't care." ”

The Venerable Master said cautiously, "In order to reduce the trouble, I think it is better to deviate from the ancient path for a distance, and when the wind stops, we will return." ”

Bai Yang echoed: "The Venerable Master of the Law is reasonable, let's stay away for a while." ”

Although Li Fei didn't want to go along with them, he was alone, so he had no choice but to agree.

Daoist Qiming finally concluded: "All Daoists agree to avoid it first, so let's act immediately." I observed that there was still a short time before the gale came, and there was an abandoned site fifty miles to the northeast, which could still be used as a temporary shelter from the wind. ”

Naturally, everyone had no opinion. Holding a yellow compass in his hand, Daoist Qiming took the lead and quickly swept to one side. Li Fei's cultivation was the lowest among the five, so he naturally fell behind.

After a stick of incense, a group of five people came to the periphery of the ruins. In the process of approaching the ruins, Li Fei released his divine thoughts with all his strength to search the ruins, but found nothing abnormal. Naturally, the other four were doing the same thing.

Just when Li Fei was about to retract his divine thoughts, he accidentally found that there was an abandoned well at the other end of the ruins, about two miles away. A rag was covered at the waste wellhead, and there was nothing special about it, but Li Fei noticed that there was less sand and dust on the rag, as if it had been newly covered not long ago.

When Li Fei carefully controlled his divine thoughts to explore through the rags and into the broken well, he found that his divine thoughts could not pass through a rag! Li Fei was shocked, and a bad premonition struck him in an instant.

When Li Fei was down-to-earth, the scenery switched instantly, it was still a desert, but there was no sandstorm, it was a desert under a clear sky! Li Fei felt great regret, thinking that he could get out one step earlier after discovering the secret, but he didn't expect the other party to be faster, so he immediately launched the formation.

At this time, the Black Plum Fairy and the Master of the Law Pole stood back to back very strangely, looking like they were facing a great enemy. Qiming Daoist and Bai Yang were each holding a token, and their faces were relaxed. The rags on the ancient well disappeared, and five black shadows sprang out from the ancient well in turn, three of them had the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, and the other two had the same cultivation as the poplar, the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

The seven of them were divided into two groups very tacitly, and the Qiming Daoist and the three monks in the late stage of foundation building surrounded the Black Plum Fairy and the Faji Master. Bai Yang and two monks from the middle stage of construction rushed towards Li Fei's side.

Li Fei didn't act rashly for the time being, but his mind was full of thoughts, and he paid close attention to the movements around him. Although Li Fei didn't know how many enemies there were, he knew that the enemy was definitely indispensable, the strength would be at least twice that of the original five-person team, and there was a formation arranged in advance, if there was a slight mistake in dealing with it, it was likely to stay here forever.

Daoist Qiming was very surprised by the performance of the Black Plum Fairy and the Fa Ji Master, and the two of them also joined one after another. Daoist Qiming didn't see any communication between them, and always thought that there was no relationship between them, but he didn't expect that the two would be a couple with a very tacit cooperation. However, accidents are accidents, and Daoist Qiming is still full of confidence, but he just thinks that he may spend a little more time.

Just when Li Fei was thinking about how to deal with the enemy, the desert not far in front of him suddenly moved, and soon condensed into three hideous salons several zhang long, and pounced violently!
