Chapter 556: Undead Creatures [I wish you all a safe and healthy New Year]

[Thunder Fire Forged Golden Body] is an unexpected gain, but he still has a small flaw in swordsmanship: how to solve the problem of the sword spirit of the flying sword when he is in the flying sword state.

Is it a distraction that flies out as part of the time when you are a sword spirit? Or do you want to get another flying sword? Either way, there is no way forward.

He had already realized that it would probably be very difficult to solve this problem in the Tongtian Realm, because without the Jin Dan, his spiritual strength in the upper dantian was not enough to support him to complete such an improvement.

The answer can only be found in the practice, and if one considers that it is not possible to solve all the problems at the lower levels in the course of one's practice, then such a flaw does not seem so unacceptable.

Hou Yu followed the camel caravan through the desert, and after a dozen days, they approached a water source. The route of the caravan is not always a straight line, which is very different from the understanding of the inlanders; Inland people always subconsciously think that since the desert is as smooth as a mirror, it is natural for a trip to go in a straight line, but in fact, human mortals decide their routes in the desert according to the distribution of water sources.

Maybe it's a little green state, maybe it's a pool of water, maybe it's a dark well, it can provide people and sand camels with the necessary drinking water, these things they can't carry in full, if so, then don't even think about carrying any goods.

Shaga's caravan found such a small pool of water, more than ten zhang square, appearing in the sand dunes as if it would disappear at any time.

"This waterfront is seasonal, appearing in spring and summer, and disappearing in autumn and winter, so our trade routes are not fixed in different seasons. In fact, there are quite a few such water pools in the Patella Desert, but they are very unstable, and they may disappear in a few years, and then another one will pop up in another place, and then disappear after a few years.....

Hou Yu nodded, "In other words, they are all accidents after the rainy season, not because there is groundwater here?"

Saga grinned, "That's right, the rainy season in the desert seems like a joke in the interior, but after all, it still has some results, this is only the edge of the desert, and it is far from going deep into the desert..."

Hou Yu watched the camel team get off one after another at a distance of 100 zhang away from Shuibo, and wielded his bow and knife, "Is this, there is danger near Shuibo?"

Saga was cautious, "Yes, a pool of water is the source of life for all living things in the vicinity, this is true for humans, and even more so for those creatures, all kinds of creatures in the vicinity will crowd here, all kinds of poisonous insects, including sand wolves and sand fox sand sculptures.

But most importantly, the undead don't rely on water, but they know that raiding humans near water is the best way to do it."

After thinking about it, he still made his request, "Although it is unlikely, if an accident happens, please ask Dao Ye to help more."

Hou Yu waved his hand, "Needless to say, since we are in the same team, of course we share weal and woe, and this is also the purpose of my here."

His divine sense had been monitoring the vicinity of the water pool, and had not noticed anything unusual for the time being; He knew very little about the undead creatures in the desert, and he didn't expect to get much useful information from these mortals, who didn't understand the monk's perspective and couldn't see things from the perspective of a cultivator.

Underground, he could feel that the number of those poisonous insects had increased significantly, and there were several sand wolves lying on the other side of the water, even if they saw humans, they did not leave, but roared and threatened in their throats.

There is no problem within hundreds of feet around the water, but this means that on the ground, just as threats in the sea basically come from below the surface of the sea, most of the threats in the desert come from under the sand.

Saga ordered the group to divide into two teams, one to stay where they were, and one to lead the sand camels to the water pool to drink, filling the water bladders that had begun to dry up.

They are all careful when doing this, even if they have done it thousands of times, they still dare not take it lightly.

Hou Yu did not go to Shuibo, but stayed where he was, so that it would be more convenient to take care of everyone, Shashi stood beside him, holding a bow and arrow taller than others, for the boys in the northwest, the bow and arrow was their only toy from childhood to adulthood.

The kid wasn't nervous, "Uncle Tsuta, it's actually nothing, it's safe most of the time

as we came; There are very few undead creatures south of Loulan City, but it is not easy to say in the north of Loulan, and I heard those adventurers say that encountering undead creatures is a common thing."

Hou Yu smiled, "The monks in Loulan City, they will never go out to protect the caravan?"

The sand and gravel are very open, "Where can I protect it? Inside the pass, outside the pass, there are different teams in and out every day, the responsibility of the Daoists is to patrol, the main direction will be in the north of Loulan City, looking for traces of a large number of undead creatures, as for the occasional two or three, you can only try your luck."

"How many cultivators are there in Loulan City?"

Shashi scratched his head, "I don't know, the Qi Cultivators are all in the area where they live, and ordinary people can't enter; But there are hundreds of convincers, and most of them are acting with the adventuring party that is heading north."

.. Sha Jia and four or five people led a dozen sand camels to drink water by the water pool, while confronting several sand wolves on the opposite side, and neither side acted rashly; Probably they all think that the other party is not easy to mess with, in addition to being tough in the desert, you must also learn to coexist, these things cannot be killed, and it is impossible to take the precious water as your own.

Suddenly, a sand camel broke free of the reins in horror and ran away, and immediately after, the whole camel team began to blow up the herd; Animals always have a sharper sense than humans, and the next moment they ran away, three black shadows emerged from the sand and attacked the people of Shajia.

The sand dwellers are not unprepared, no one tries to control the animals when the sand camels blow up the herd, they can't run far, they stop and watch after a certain distance away from the danger, and more importantly, deal with the undead that may appear in the sand.

The five of them gathered together, and the three black shadows had already drilled out of the sand, like huge insects, their bodies were incomplete, there was no flesh and blood, just a bone supporting them, but the red light in their eyes could see their tyranny.

There was no emotion other than killing.

Three of the five Saga swung their swords in front and two in the back shot with arrows; The arrow grazed the bones and sent a flash of fire, but it was unscathed to the undead; It can be seen that it is difficult for ordinary mortals to inflict fatal damage on them without hitting the vital points.

Wielding huge bone claws, the five Saga kept retreating, and the situation became more and more dangerous.

Hou Yu held down the impulsive sand and stone, and shouted in a deep voice, "Don't go over, leave it to me over there, your most important duty is to guard this place."
