，

These people and Fang Ziyan have similar goals, and they come together for various reasons.

Some for revenge, some for bounty, still others for the sake of heaven, and so on.

But one thing is for sure, these people will not defect, this is the most basic principle of survival in the desert.

Although Fang Ziyan's age is not very old, her qualifications are not small, since she walked into the desert for the first time eight years ago, followed the side of a desert ranger, watched the floating life in the desert, and watched the people around her clutch.

From the first two people, it gradually became three people, four people, and now there are eight.

And with the death of the desert ranger, who was also a teacher and friend, Fang Ziyan also became the core of this small team.

Eight years ago, Fang Ziyan was just a little girl who was full of enthusiasm and only existed for revenge, although she was so much stronger than ordinary masters at that time.

But in real combat, she can't even beat an ordinary sand thief, but today, eight years later, she can already take charge of herself, whether it is tactics or strategy, she has her own style.

They are like poisonous snakes lurking in the desert, and they can lie in ambush in the harshest of environments for a month or more in order to kill an enemy that is difficult to fight head-on.

However, this time they were not sure, Fang Ziyan forcibly pressed the uneasiness and fear in her heart, she couldn't show her negative emotions.

That would only make things worse, even though it's the worst it is now.

The enemy they faced was almost an almost invincible group of enemies, even human ...... It's possible that it isn't.

A sandcastle in the center of the Stone Forest in the distance is like a magic city, and I don't know how many monsters lurk inside.

Fang Ziyan saw with her own eyes that an unknown monster as big as a hill climbed into the mouth of a sand thief, but the sand thief acted as if nothing had happened.

And not long ago, a team of rangers who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth started earlier than them.

That team said to Fang Ziyan. is no stranger, they have had some cooperation between them, so they are quite clear about each other's strength. Definitely not under their own ranks.

And that team obviously didn't know how terrifying the enemy they were facing, so Fang Ziyan didn't even have a chance to send a signal, and the team of more than a dozen rangers was slaughtered.

There was no chance of resistance. And those sand thieves only sent two 'men', and the battle was already over.

Except for a few more dried corpses, it was as if nothing had happened.

But Fang Ziyan and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, had a full view of everything, before that. There were also people in the team who proposed to raid directly at night, but after that, everyone had the idea of retreating, even Fang Ziyan was no exception.

However, the biggest problem before them now is how to escape the territory of the sand thieves who are occupied by monsters.

Don't look at them being able to lie dormant under each other's noses for many days, but once there is some abnormal movement, then it will inevitably attract the attention of the other party. And then there was the endless slaughter.

"Wait a minute, I'll take the initiative to attack the sandcastles of those monsters. Grab their attention, and you take the opportunity to leave. Fang Ziyan said her thoughts succinctly.

The others fell silent and did not touch Fang Ziyan's eyes, and had already acquiesced to the proposal.

Because none of them wanted to die, and this was the only chance, in fact, a few days ago. They had already realized that they wanted to escape this demonic realm. Someone needs to make sacrifices.

They are not noble people, they all come together with various purposes. The only thing that is certain is that they are not bad people, although everyone's hands, more or less, are stained with the blood of some people.

Those monster sand thieves have already shown their strength many times, even if they have ten times more people now, it is impossible to defeat the other party, it is better to keep a useful body and wait for the future to make plans.

Fang Ziyan didn't like such sacrifices, but now she had to come up with such a plan, because it was her idea to come here to take revenge, and everyone else set foot on this road of no return because they supported her.

Now that she is in danger, of course, it is impossible for others to die with her, and the black sword in her hand is faintly emitting a glimmer of light that is difficult to find.

That light was full of divine brilliance, and inadvertently, a trace of green qi diffused out from the black sword and penetrated into Fang Ziyan's snort.

Fang Ziyan suddenly shuddered, and an unclear image suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, which looked like a projection of something, or some creature that did not belong to the category of human beings.

"Hee-hee-hee......" The image stared at Fang Ziyan and let out a low laugh.

"You...... Who are you......" Fang Ziyan shuddered.

"Ziyan, who are you talking to?" The others all looked at Fang Ziyan suspiciously, thinking that someone was lurking around them and was discovered by Fang Ziyan.

Fang Ziyan looked at the image in surprise, then looked back at her companion, pointed to the image and said, "You didn't see it?"

"What do you see?" everyone looked at Fang Ziyan blankly.

"They can't see me. The image uttered an ethereal voice: "Because I am you, you are me." ”

Fang Ziyan's face changed slightly, and her heart was calm, and she faintly realized that this image seemed to be some kind of demon that tempted people to fall, or the same kind of those monsters.

The image gradually became clear, and Fang Ziyan was horrified, this image was exactly the same as herself.

"You must be very unwilling, such a sacrifice, for the sake of this group of ruthless and unrighteous companions. The image smiled, glancing mockingly at the so-called companions.

"Don't talk nonsense. ”

Fang Ziyan's eyes flickered, and she didn't say this sentence, but the image seemed to have heard Fang Ziyan's voice, and said mockingly: "Am I talking nonsense, your heart has already agreed with my words, you are really hypocritical." ”

"What kind of demon are you, trying to deceive my heart?" Fang Ziyan had already defined that image as a demon at this moment.

"Looks like you're not stupid...... the phantom said with a chuckle.

Fang Ziyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she almost really thought that this shadow was her heart.

At that moment, she almost wondered if it was really her inner question.

"Actually, I'm the sword spirit of this sword. The shadow pointed to the black sword in Fang Ziyan's hand: "The name of this sword is called Void, and its favorite food is the soul of a hypocritical human." If you kill these hypocritical humans, kill these humans who usually call themselves brothers and sisters, but in the end they leave you behind. It can greatly increase the power of the void, and when the time comes, let alone escape from here, even if you kill those puppets with a sword, it will be easy. ”

Fang Ziyan couldn't help but shudder. The sword in his hand accidentally came out of his hand, and he no longer dared to pick up the black sword.

"Ziyan, what's wrong with you?" everyone's hearts were speculating whether they were afraid of making a decision. There is no shame in being afraid of death, and they can live long enough, not only because they are superior to others, but also because they are more afraid of death than others.

This time, Fang Ziyan didn't suspect the phantom again, the first time it was a lie, and the second time it must be true.

Fang Ziyan didn't even dare to look back at her companions, she was afraid that if she looked at it, she would shake the firmness in her heart.

She was afraid of death. But that doesn't mean she can kill these companions who lived and died with her. Looking at the black sword that shimmered with a strange brilliance, she finally picked it up again.

Looking back at his companion who was still confused, he gritted his teeth and hummed, "Get ready, I'm going to do it!"

Without waiting for others to react, Fang Ziyan had already raised the black sword and rushed towards the direction of the sand castle.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you. They all looked at Fang Ziyan's back in shock, wondering how she could be so impulsive and reckless.

It stands to reason. Even if she is ready to sacrifice, she should be prepared for everything. Tell everything.

However, her reckless action can certainly attract the attention of those monsters, but if she is killed directly, I am afraid that her whereabouts will be exposed.

However, after all, the rangers in the past were all experienced in battles, and soon understood what to do, and silently retreated from the place, and several black shadows slowly disappeared into the night.

Fang Ziyan's heart was already shaken, and she knew that if she didn't do it again, she would really raise her sword and kill those former companions.

But she didn't do anything, and soon the first sand thief to be overrun by a monster appeared in front of her, and she remembered that it was this monster that had killed nine people from another Ranger team, including the core of that team.

The lifeless face, exuding a terrifying aura, and a cold, hoarse voice coming from the mouth: "Intruder, dead ......"

And that phantom still hovered beside Fang Ziyan, and said with a light sigh: "Why do you want to kill yourself so much, if you listen to me, you can easily defeat these puppets." ”

"Don't show up in front of me again, I've made up my mind. Fang Ziyan snorted coldly and threw herself into the battle.

"It's a pity, but it's not completely out of the question, and if you want, I can lend you my strength. ”

"At what cost?" Fang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and narrowly avoided the puppet's attack.

"From now on you will not be you, and I will take possession of your body and eat away at your soul, and you will become a puppet like these monsters. ”

The phantom suddenly attached to the sand thief's body, and the sand thief's body froze and lost its movement, but the phantom's voice and expression came out.

"Don't think about it!" Fang Ziyan's idea was very simple, since she was going to die, why did she have to use the power of this evil spirit again, it was better to die happily.

A few puppet sand thieves rushed out from afar, their aura was not weaker than the sand thief in front of them, the phantom left the sand thief's body, and the sand thief launched a crazy attack again.

This sand thief's attack was not fierce at first, but as Fang Ziyan continued to resist, the attack became more and more intense, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it had already risen to the third order, close to the eighth order, and it was still improving.

Fang Ziyan's scalp was already numb, she knew that she was in a catastrophe, if she allowed this monster to continue to improve.

The sand thieves not far away also joined the battle circle, and their attacks were gradually improving, as if they could not fully exert their full strength at the beginning, but there was no upper limit.

Suddenly, there was a light and several breaths of different strength and weakness from behind, and Fang Ziyan's heart trembled: "They were discovered......" (to be continued......
