Limbo.

The sky was blank, there was no sun and moon, no starlight, and no sun.

The vast Gobi of two million acres is covered with yellow sand, windswept clouds, and sparse vegetation.

In the middle of this vast world, a man stood in it, dressed in a green shirt, his long hair fluttering in the wind.

The man's name is Li Shuidao, and he is the master of this world.

At this time, one foot was bent and suspended in the air, and one foot was stepping on the hard Gobi, and his body rose and fell with his breathing, as if he was one with the aura between heaven and earth.

"Piercing the Cloud Legs"

Li Shuidao's body suddenly moved, and he kicked out, the speed was as fast as lightning, and the power was amazing, like a muffled thunder. I saw that his leg muscles were tense, his green tendons were bursting up, and a powerful energy erupted from his toes, blowing the surrounding yellow sand into flying sand and rocks.

"Snort!" With a piercing sound of breaking wind, Li Shuidao's toes hit the Gobi, leaving a deep hole.

However, when his foot was withdrawn, it was as if nothing had happened.

Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit.

"Roar!"

In the Gobi, Li Shuidao suddenly let out a loud roar, like a substantial sonic attack, fan-shaped purge.

This is Scorpion Strike!

This blow can make the enemy suddenly trance-like and unsettled, creating a perfect opportunity for his poisonous piercing cloud leg to attack.

In addition to these two stunts, Li Shuidao also has a long-range attack method - "Scorpion Tail Needle". In his spare time, with a wave of his hand, golden needles are all over the sky. These golden needles are as thin as a millimeter, but they contain great power. Every shot hits the target, and even the ants on the ground are stabbed to pieces.

These exercises were simply miraculous for a first- or second-order monk, but for a fourth-order monk, the power was too weak.

But even so, Li Shuidao still cultivated seriously.

Enter the Tao with art!

Only in this way can he truly control the two million acres of Gobi in the Void, and the scorpions that grow naturally in the Gobi, can become the guardian of his Void Realm, not the destroyer.

A year later......

After immersing himself in the cultivation of the Void Realm for a long time, Li Shuidao felt the passage of time and the growth of his cultivation, but an indescribable boredom gradually surged in his heart.

He decided to leave the Void and go to the Overworld, to feel the natural wind, sand and breath.

……

Tianyuan Continent, the border of the Western Regions, a vast Gobi stretches between heaven and earth.

Here, the yellow sand is like gold, and the wind is like a knife, as if even time has stood still in this endless desert.

Above the sky, the scorching sun was like fire, scorching the earth mercilessly.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, sprinkling dappled light and shadow, adding a bit of mystery to this barren Gobi.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky, forming spectacular pillars of sand, as if the elves between heaven and earth are dancing.

The Gobi under the scorching sun seems to have become a vivid picture, slowly unfolding in front of Li Shuidao's eyes.

Dressed in an earthy yellow linen robe, he lay quietly on the dusty roof, letting the wind and sand erode his cheeks. His gaze pierced through the endless yellow sand, as if he wanted to touch the soul of the land.

If you see the world as a more complete "virtual realm", then what do you lack?

Li Shuidao is not far away and here, because he wants to feel the avenue between heaven and earth.

On this Gobi, a caravan is struggling to move forward.

They were dressed in coarse cloth and hats, and their faces were covered with frost and exhaustion. They harness camels and carry a wide variety of goods, begging for a living in this treacherous environment

In the caravan, there was an old man who stood out in particular. His beard was white, his face was kind, and his eyes shone with wisdom. He was dressed in a green shirt with a long sword hanging from his waist, and although he was old, he still looked extraordinary.

Beside the old man, there was a young woman, she was beautiful and had a good temperament.

She was dressed in white with a ribbon tied around her waist and fluttered in the wind.

Seeing this caravan, Li Shuidao's heart moved, and he rolled over from the roof and landed lightly on the ground. His movements are smooth and his gait is light.

He walked up to the old man, the leader of the caravan, and bowed his hand, with a gentle smile on his face: "I want to go with your caravan, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The old man looked up at Li Shuidao, and a trace of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes. He stroked his gray beard and looked Li Shuidao up and down, trying to see through his cultivation and origin.

"Your Excellency seems to be a good cultivator, I don't know where you come from, why do you want to travel with us and other caravans?" The old man squinted his eyes and spoke slowly.

Li Shuidao smiled slightly and shook his head: "People from the end of the world, why bother asking so clearly." I have my own purpose, and I just want to see the scenery along the way when I walk with your caravan, after all, walking alone on this vast Gobi is inevitably a little boring. ”

When the old man heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. He is well aware of the sinister nature of this Western Desert, and there are many bandits, and he will never easily let people of unknown origin join the caravan.

He sighed and said, "Don't blame fellow Daoists, it's not that we don't want to give you a ride, it's that the rules of our caravan are not to recruit people into at will. You also know that the road is not smooth, and if something happens, we can't afford it. ”

The woman in white beside her also spoke, her voice soft and pleasant: "In my opinion, this Taoist friend is generous and extraordinary, and he really doesn't look like a villain." However, caravans have rules for caravans, and we really can't make exceptions at will. ”

"In that case, forget it." Li Shuidao smiled indifferently and turned to leave.

He went on the road alone and didn't walk fast.

Walking alone on the long Gobi, his back looks extremely lonely.

The people in the caravan looked a little puzzled at the man who suddenly appeared.

Walking alone in the Gobi is simply looking for death.

The woman in white frowned, and she lightly lifted her lips: "He doesn't look like a wicked person, can't we make an exception and take him along?" ”

The old man glanced at the woman: "Wen Shan...... Don't just look at your face, don't think he's a good person just because he's beautiful in his face. On this Gobi Desert, people are separated from each other, this guy is a spy of banditry nine times out of ten, and he is also a young guy who has just debuted, and he can't even deal with people. ”

Wei Wenshan covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes shining: "Since he is a young man who has just debuted, then we might as well take him to the caravan and have a counter-kill." ”

Wei Jingtai once again glanced at his junior: "More things are better than less, although the two of us are second-order cultivators, we are caravans after all, you can't put others in danger just because you want to make a windfall." Ay...... What are you doing? ”

Wei Wenshan rode a snow-white cloud camel and galloped on the Gobi, and after only a few breaths, he caught up with Li Shuidao, who was walking on foot, and the snow-white cloud camel stopped in front of him.

Wei Wenshan stared at Li Shuidao, she said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, I don't know why I came here here alone? ”

Li Shuidao stopped, he looked at Wei Wenshan, his brows furrowed slightly: "I said I came to see the scenery." ”

"I don't believe it! The Gobi is inhospitable, water is scarce, and beyond that lies the boundless desert. In the desert, survival is extremely difficult, and you may not have enough water in your storage bag. ”

Li Shuidao shook his head: "I don't go to the desert, I just go around the Gobi." ”

Wei Wenshan saw that he didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic: "I don't know what your friend's co-reference is?" ”

Li Shuidao flipped it with one hand, and a first-order golden scorpion appeared in his hand, obviously a poisonous scorpion.

Seeing this, Wei Wenshan's face showed surprise: "Desert Scorpion? ”

Li Shuidao nodded.

"When you go to the desert, you still take the cloud camel as the same ginseng, the cloud camel is fast and stable, the endurance is strong, you can always find a water source in the desert, and the key is not to get lost." Wei Wenshan patted the cloud camel sitting down and said.

Li Shuidao shrugged: "I don't go to the desert, what do you want Yun Camel to do?" ”

"That...... Don't know what to call a friend? Wei Wenshan asked again.

"Li Shuidao."

"Meeting is fate, since Li Daoyou wants to go to the Gobi with our caravan, then our Wei family can't refuse people thousands of miles away, let's go together, and there will be a good response on the way." Wei Wenshan warmly invited

Li Shuidao nodded, and agreed to Wei Wenshan's invitation.

The two returned to the town together, and Li Shuidao jumped and landed firmly on the back of a cloud camel.

Seeing this, a porter hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "This is a cloud camel to load goods!" ”

Li Shuidao smiled slightly, and he directly threw out a medium-grade spirit stone from the storage bag: "I bought the goods." ”

The glittering medium-grade spirit stone drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed firmly in the porter's hand.

The porter looked at the spirit stone in his hand in shock, his eyes full of incredulity.

This spirit stone is too big, could it be a medium-grade spirit stone?

The porter took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement.

He immediately put this medium-grade spirit stone into his storage bag, and then he looked around, for fear that his windfall would be spied on. The surrounding caravan members were busy loading, and no one noticed the strangeness on his side.

After the porter hid the spirit stone, an extremely flattering smile appeared on his face, he walked to Li Shuidao's side, and said with a flattering face: "This uncle, please lie down at will, lie down at will......"

Li Shuidao was not interested in paying attention to this small role at all, he changed to a more comfortable position and lay on the cloud camel, closed his eyes, and began to slowly feel the breath of the Gobi.

The caravan of the Wei family embarked on the journey again, and the mighty procession left a series of deep footprints on the Gobi.

Wei Wenshan turned her gaze to Li Shuidao from time to time, trying to find some abnormal signs from him, but each time he could only see his calm and deep eyes.

Night falls, and the stars are shining.

The caravan finally arrived at an oasis full of greenery.

……

As night fell, the campfires swayed in the desert, emitting a faint but warm glow.

Under the light of the fire, Wei Wenshan and Li Shuidao sat around the fire, roasting fragrant meat while immersing themselves in the silence of the night.

Wei Wenshan's gaze fell on Li Shuidao from time to time, as if he was exploring something. She finally couldn't help but break the silence: "Are you really not curious about the cargo of our caravan?" ”

Li Shuidao smiled lightly and replied succinctly, "Not interested." ”

Wei Wenshan: "......"

"Li Daoyou, the grilled fish in this oasis is a must, with special seasonings, the grilled fish is tender and juicy, and the aroma is overflowing."

When Li Shuidao heard this, his heart moved: "Miss Wei, since you said so, then I must try it." ”

Seeing this, the corners of Wei Wenshan's mouth hooked up with a smug smile. She waved her hand and beckoned her subordinates to hand the grilled fish to Li Shuidao.

Li Shuidao took the grilled fish and tasted it, it was indeed delicious.

"Li Daoyou, when will your people come?" Wei Wenshan asked suddenly, even with anticipation in her tone.

Li Shuidao glanced at Wei Wenshan lightly, and his tone was indifferent: "Wei Daoyou, you seem to have some misunderstanding about me. I'm alone on this trip, and no one else. ”

Wei Wenshan was slightly stunned, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes. She put down the grilled fish in her hand, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and examined Li Shuidao.

Li Shuidao actually guessed Wei Wenshan's thoughts, this woman hid her cultivation, and most of them thought about black eating black.

After pondering for a moment, Li Shuidao still decided to divert the topic: "Miss Wei, what is the danger in this Gobi Desert?" ”

When Wei Wenshan heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile: "What danger can there be in the Gobi Desert?" The bandit cultivators who can haunt here are all small characters, and if they can reach the second order, how can they rest in this place where birds don't, and the real danger is in the desert. ”

"Oh...... What are the dangers in the desert? I would like to hear about it. Li Shuidao asked with great interest.

"Hehe......" Wei Wenshan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Aren't you going to the desert?" ”

"I'm curious, I can always ask." Li Shuidao explained.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Wei Wenshan's eyes revealed a bit of solemnity: "In the desert, there are many ruins, these places are not only abundant in water, but also have sufficient spiritual energy, and the bandit monks stationed in these places are at least second-order, or even higher. In addition, there is a natural disaster called 'Black Storm' in the desert, and once encountered, the sky is dark, flying sand and rocks, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction. What's more, there is also a legendary 'desert corner' in the desert, which is a forbidden place for countless monks, and it is said that the monks who enter it will mysteriously disappear, and no one will ever be able to get out alive. ”

When Li Shuidao heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Wei Wenshan and asked seriously, "Wei Daoyou, can you tell us more about this desert desperate situation?" ”

Wei Wenshan nodded, and her expression became solemn. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Desert Desperate, it's a cursed land. Legend has it that the sky there is white, the sun and the moon are not shining, and there is only an endless desert. Even a caravan with a cloud camel would not be able to get out of that desperate situation. Countless brave monks have tried to explore its mysteries, but they have all been reduced to dry bones in the desert. ”

Li Shuidao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he even licked his lips subconsciously.

This is not a desert desperation at all, but a virtual realm, only alien beasts will devour mortals, it is the virtual realm of alien beasts.
