Chapter 887: Sand City
Ahead, where the sand is a little weaker, you can see oases, hills, and looming houses.
I opened the map, and a spiritual power was poured into my fingertips, and the map immediately lit up with a glowing light.
Judging by the location shown on the map, we are in the middle of a desert.
Grandpa's location is still about 150,000 miles away from us.
Sun Mingjin took off his shoes and wanted to shake off the sand on the soles of his shoes, but he got around, and the two shoes were full of sand, and yellow smoke came out when he walked.
He simply threw away his shoes and walked barefoot.
I summoned the Pure Bone Spirit Horse, tied it to the carriage behind it, and the three of them hid in the carriage to cool off.
Murphy took out the mineral water from the storage ring and handed it to me and Sun Mingjin.
"Hidden Dragon, how long do we have to go?"
I use a compass to sense the spiritual power around me.
The nearest populated settlement is two days and three nights away from us.
"It's going to take three days to get out of the desert to the nearby city, so we don't need to be in too much of a hurry, we can walk slowly."
When I saw my grandfather, I had to get out of here.
This time, the fairy world ahead, when I returned, I don't know what year or month.
Therefore, I did not rush to the road, but rode slowly through the desert on the Bone Spirit Horse.
This time away, my parents almost filled our storage rings.
In addition to the medicinal herbs and wasteland crystals necessary for cultivation, there is also a large amount of food and water.
We followed the path that ran through the village, inquiring all the way, all the way forward, over countless deserts, hills, villages.
After two days and three nights, we finally arrived in Shacheng.
The entire area of the sand city is about the size of a hundred football fields, and the city walls are made of sandstone, and there are siege crossbows and catapults on top of it.
From this, it can be seen that Shacheng should be a place where ordinary people and cultivators live together.
And Shacheng's spiritual power is thin, and the monks who are slightly more capable should not stay here.
Sun Mingjin was not interested, "Big brother, this small city looks dilapidated, and it is estimated that we will not be able to supply any good things."
I took out my compass and sensed the breath of the city.
The entire Shacheng has a population of about 20,000, of which monks account for about one-twentieth of them, and the monks in the realm of Heavenly Master do not exceed the number of five fingers.
The three of us, in such a small place, can be regarded as the existence of a ceiling.
Murphy counted the storage rings, "We don't have much to consume, just go into the city to replenish some water."
At the entrance of Shacheng, ten young monks who had just entered the city were holding long swords and big swords, standing guard seriously.
Murphy drew his nameless sword and approached the city gate.
The young man in charge of registration said politely, "The three of you who come to live in my Sand City need to pay a piece of the Inferior Wasteland Crystal."
A piece of low-grade wasteland crystal, you can live at will, and it is really cheap enough.
As I was withdrawing the money, Murphy's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the nameless sword flew above the heads of the group with a whimpering wind.
As a sword cultivator, Murphy's attack carries a power that is even more terrifying than the peak of Qi training.
Ten frightened froze in place, not daring to move.
The young man who had just asked for money was even more earthy, shaking like chaff, "Senior, right...... I'm sorry!"
"For a strong man like you, it's our honor to settle in Shacheng, and we don't have to pay any fees."
Sun Mingjin couldn't stand it, "Sister, why did you learn to bully people."
I pointed in the direction of the wall behind me, "Look there."
Everyone turned back in the direction I pointed, and they saw a big python the thickness of a bucket with scales exactly like the yellow sand, twisting in pain in the yellow sand.
Its fine scales, identical to the sand and gravel, blend into the ground almost perfectly.
If it weren't for the green blood it spewed, it would have been difficult to distinguish its shape even when it struggled.
Murphy drew his sword back and said indifferently, "If I take a few breaths of the sword slowly, it will take you inside
Swallow one of them."
"This snake is worth a lot of money to you, and it will cost us to enter the door."
A group of frightened people turned around and thanked Murphy one after another.
When we entered the city, we found a small hotel along the street to rest, and Murphy was responsible for going out to buy groceries.
With her in charge of life, I can feel a lot more at ease.
The desert has little rain, a lot of earth, gravel and gravel, and the tops of the buildings are pasted with mud and straw.
I sat cross-legged on the clay kang and clasped my palms in the dantian to consolidate my realm.
Ever since I was promoted to the peak of Qi cultivation, I have always felt that my cultivation was wrong.
I always feel that I have been promoted, but I have not been fully promoted, and I am always so close to the door.
What's the difference......
"Big brother, I saw a roasted whole sheep seller on the street, so I bought it for us......
Sun Mingjin entered the door and saw that I was practicing, and he was a little embarrassed to retreat.
"It doesn't matter."
I stood up, "I can't cultivate for a reason anyway, so I might as well go out and relax."
"After meeting Grandpa, we'll leave the wasteland."
"Until then, let's take a stroll and give ourselves some thoughts."
In the sand city, the people are simple.
On the left and right of the yellow sand dirt road, there are clothing shops, restaurants, and small restaurants, and the roast whole sheep shop that Sun Mingjin said is at the end of the street.
Dressed in a coarse cloth blouse, a young and beautiful proprietress is holding a knife to cut the texture of the golden crispy lamb and sprinkle sesame seeds on it.
"Boss, a roast lamb."
In the pocket of the hostess, there is a pile of coins that I don't recognize, presumably the local currency.
I took out a low-grade wasteland crystal from the storage ring and slapped it on the table.
"For the rest, let's get some rice wine."
The proprietress was taken aback, "Guest, I don't dare to ask you for so much money."
"It's okay, the rest will be given to you."
"Thank you, guest!"
After a while, a variety of small side dishes, roasted whole sheep, and large barrels of rice wine were served on the table.
"Brother, I toast you."
When I picked up the wine glass, Sun Mingjin was a little puzzled, "Big brother, why are you suddenly polite to me?"
"Nothing."
Sun Mingjin and I clinked glasses and drank the sweet and sour rice wine.
In this parting, I am destined not to walk with Murphy and Sun Mingjin.
"Okay, you guys, I'm busy shopping, and you're having a good time here."
Murphy sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.
I groaned a little, with a slight sadness in my tone.
"The teleportation array in the sand city is enough to teleport thousands of miles away, and it will soon be able to reach the place where grandpa is."
"When I see my grandfather, I will go to the fairy world."
"The next time we meet, I'm afraid ...... I don't know how long it will be later."
When these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.
Murphy smiled reluctantly and took the initiative to break the embarrassing atmosphere, "The speed of our two cultivation is not as fast as yours, but it is not much slower either."
"Maybe we'll meet in the wasteland in the near future."
