Desert.

A dark underground river.

Bang!

A sharp kick is like a scorpion's tail whip.

A large earthy yellow toad was kicked against the wall by a powerful force, and its entire body was embedded in the stone wall, revealing only four random legs, apparently only half a life left.

This is a desert giant clam that hides in the dark river beneath the desert, where it breeds and hides.

A figure slowly walked out of the shadows, he was wearing an earthy yellow robe, it was Li Shuidao.

He walked up to the giant clam, reached out and gently pinched the toad's jaw, carefully examining the venom in the toad's mouth. The venom was dark green in color and exuded a poison that was deadly. Li Shuidao nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hand lightly, and the giant clam disappeared, and he was included in the virtual realm.

Then he came to a waterhole, where countless tadpoles frolicked and played. He stretched out his hand and fished out the tadpoles, along with the pool of water, into the virtual realm.

With these desert toads and tadpoles, his Gobi desert will also become more vibrant.

As the saying goes, the land is vast and abundant. The wider the area of the Void Realm, the more the output of the Void Realm, for high-level realm cultivators, can increase mana.

It's just that this only increases the amount of mana, but not its quality.

If you want to directly increase the level of strength, from the current point of view, the easiest way is to directly absorb the power of the higher level.

For example, Li Shuidao used the ten-sided tower to absorb the power of the purple sun from the Desolate God Realm.

But if you don't have the power of the purple yang to absorb it, then you have to cultivate the power of the Great Five Elements.

Thinking of this, Li Shuidao frowned and fell into deep thought.

It is not easy for a Void Realm cultivator to cultivate a high-level strength.

Although the power of the purple sun he stole was powerful, it was not his own after all, and it was not a long-term plan after all.

And the power of the Great Five Elements requires profound cultivation and great understanding of the "Five Poisons and Five Elements" in order to comprehend it naturally.

The power of the golden pill cultivated by Zhao Ling'er is extremely high, and it is not inferior to ordinary desolate demons at all.

If the combat power of the monk is compared to a country.

Then deep mana is equivalent to abundant resources, and high power level is equivalent to strong technology.

In the case of almost the same level of strength, it is natural that the one with deep mana wins; But if there is a huge gap in the level of strength, it will not help if the mana is deep.

Void Realm cultivators can quickly accumulate mana by devouring the Void Realm and other means, but it is difficult to increase their strength level.

By polishing the golden pill, it is relatively easy to increase the strength level, but it is not so easy to accumulate mana.

The difference between the two is still very obvious.

……

In the middle of the desert at night.

Suddenly, a huge crack exploded in the yellow sand, and Li Shuidao's figure was like the wind, jumping out, turning into a ray of light, and flying in the direction of the caravan in front of him.

The moon was shining, and the silver glow was sprinkled in the desolate desert, and a caravan was hurrying away in the night. The sound of camel bells echoed in the silent night, like a distant sound.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, rolling up the yellow sand. In the midst of the wind and sand, a group of black-clad men appeared out of thin air, their bodies were muscular, their faces hidden under their cloaks, revealing only the twinkle of their eyes.

The white-haired Wei Jingtai was holding a long sword, and his sword aura was vertical and horizontal, and he was fierce and fierce. And Wei Wenshan, who was dressed in white and snowy, flicked the long knife, and the invisible power swirled around her body, combining rigidity and softness.

The two second-order monks planned to use their strong strength to fight a bloody path for the caravan again, but this time they had miscalculated after all.

Facing the two powerful second-order monks, the bald man led by him untied the black cloak on his body, and the yellow sand in the desert covered his body, making him look like a humanoid giant beast wrapped in yellow sand, which was both terrifying and majestic.

With yellow sand as a garment and a strong wind as a companion, this is the sand magic body.

The Tao of the Quicksand Ancient Sect!

When Wei Jingtai and Wei Wenshan saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in their hearts.

Although like the two of them, they are both second-order, but the opponent is obviously from the Damen faction.

The desert that had completed the transformation raised a huge fist, wrapped in the power of the wind and sand, and slammed into the ground. A loud bang was heard, and the ground cracked instantly, and a huge wave of sand swept towards the two monks.

Burial of sand!

Although the two monks were powerful, they seemed so small in front of the humanoid beast. They tried their best to resist, but in the end they were overwhelmed by the sand waves and completely buried.

Wei Jingtai and Wei Wenshan only felt the weight of Qianjun on their bodies, making them unable to breathe and unable to move.

They will be squeezed, suffocated, and eventually die outright in the sand.

Just when they were about to despair, the huge pressure suddenly lightened, and the two of them drilled out of the sand pile with their amazing mana.

Bang! Bang!

Hearing only two loud noises, the earthy yellow sand pile exploded, and the two monks of the Wei family jumped out of the sand at the same time, and when they landed, they gasped for breath, and they had no strength to fight.

Due to the exertion of mana, both of them even trembled in their legs.

When the two of them left the burial sand, they found that the scene outside was completely beyond their expectations.

The caravan was unharmed, and everyone in the caravan was stunned.

A group of black-clad robbers fell to the ground like a wheat field that had been cut down, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

And the majestic desert had fled wildly at this moment, and the yellow sand swirled around him, making him like a demon in the wind.

The strange thing was that the two monks of the Wei family couldn't see that anyone was chasing him at all.

Wei Jingtai and Wei Wenshan looked at each other, their faces were full of incredulity, there should be a master to make a move, but the two of them couldn't even see the corners of the master's clothes.

It wasn't until the sand devils fled completely that calm returned to the desert.

Wei Wenshan gently walked towards the caravan members who were still in a state of shock, and she asked with a solemn face, "Everyone, does anyone know what happened just now?" Who rescued us? ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, as if they were still trying to recover from the horror just now. An elderly businessman stood up tremblingly, his face pale but still trying to stabilize his emotions.

"Miss Wei, let's not hide it, we don't know what's going on. I saw that those men in black suddenly fell down one by one, as if they had been hit by some mysterious force. And the sand devil was even more frightened, as if he had seen something terrible, and fled frantically. ”

Wei Wenshan's brows furrowed slightly, and her heart was full of doubts.

She looked around, trying to find some clues from the chaotic scene.

"It seems that we have someone to help us." Wei Jingtai squatted down and carefully examined the body of a man in black. He gently pulled a golden needle from the corpse, the needle was stained with venom and smelled dizzying.

This golden needle is obviously the fatal thing that caused the instant death of the man in black.

……

The night is like ink, and the desert is undulating like the waves. A humanoid troll covered in yellow sand ran wildly through the desert, the wind roaring and rolling up a sandstorm with its steps.

Suddenly, an earthy yellow figure appeared out of thin air in the Sand Devil's sight.

It was a young man, with a handsome face, but with an indescribable indifference.

The man didn't make any fancy moves, just raised his leg and kicked it out in the air. This kick seems unremarkable, but it contains earth-shattering power.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the man's foot plunged directly into the sand devil's chest. The sand devil stood still for an instant, as if frozen in this moment.

There were no external injuries to his body in front of him, but behind him it was as if it had exploded, and the yellow sand fell off one after another, revealing the figure of a bald man.

The bald man, his eyes wide and his face full of incredulity, seemed to be unable to understand why he had ended up in such a situation.

Li Shuidao stepped forward and reached out to grab the bald man's head.

As his mana poured into the bald man's sea of knowledge, scenes of memories and secrets began to emerge in his mind.

Li Shuidao's brows tightened, and his eyes revealed deep shock and doubt, he seemed to have discovered something unusual......

……

In the vast desert, a caravan is like a tenacious traveler, hurrying through the stars and the moon. The night was like ink, the stars were shining, and the desert wind was a little fierce, blowing the flags fluttering in the procession.

As the sky gradually dawned, the first rays of dawn in the east sprinkled on the sand, reflecting golden colors. The members of the caravan were in good spirits, and their steps couldn't help but speed up a little. They knew that the desert heat at noon would scorch the earth like a furnace, and that only by reaching the oasis ahead at this time could they find a glimmer of life.

Under the scorching sun, the caravan finally saw the green oasis in the distance. With its gurgling springs and green trees, it is like a fairyland in the desert. Everyone rushed to the water source, holding the cool water in both hands and drinking it happily.

In the midst of the chaos, a figure quietly blended into the caravan.

He is Li Shuidao, his eyes are like torches, carefully examining each piece of goods. Although the goods were wrapped in layers, he was still able to find what he wanted with his powerful divine sense.

Li Shuidao quickly found the item. It is hidden in a pile of seemingly ordinary goods, and the fetish is obscure and difficult to detect. With a slight wave of his hand, an invisible force unloaded the cargo, ready to take a look.

However, this move caused alarm among the caravan members. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe stepped forward, his brows furrowed, and he stared at Li Shuidao: "Who is Your Excellency sacred, and why are you unloading goods here?" ”

Li Shuidao tilted his head slightly, and his eyes revealed an unfathomable light. He smiled lightly, just turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, who stiffened in place as if he had been frozen, and then slowly collapsed and fell into a coma.

Li Shuidao didn't care, and continued to unpack the package intently. Finally, he opened one of the packages, revealing a seemingly inconspicuous object.

It looks like an oil lamp, but it is made of yellow sand and is a little ugly, like a lump of dirt.

This thing is a magic weapon, called "the heart of quicksand", which is a special magic weapon of the ancient sect of quicksand.

According to Li Shuidao's soul search, refining this thing can control the quicksand and turn it into one's own use, which is wonderful.

Li Shuidao put the "Heart of Quicksand" into the virtual realm and left quickly.

When he was gone shortly after......

The unconscious caravan member slowly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a kind old man with the face of Wei Jingtai, the leader of the caravan.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you in a coma? Wei Jingtai asked softly, looking extremely concerned in his words.

The caravan member rubbed his temples, only to feel a headache that felt like it was about to crack. He struggled to remember what had just happened, but found that his memories were blurred as if they were shrouded in a thick fog. He shook his head helplessly, and said bitterly, "Old Wei, I'm ...... I really can't remember. ”

A hint of deep thought flashed in Wei Jingtai's eyes, he nodded, and stopped asking.

He turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone put the goods in order, take a nap for two hours, and leave immediately." His voice, though calm, revealed an unmistakable majesty.

Everyone agreed and began to get busy. And Wei Jingtai walked up to Wei Wenshan's side and said solemnly: "You have to strengthen the guard and send more people to patrol." ”

Wei Wenshan nodded: "Don't worry, I will arrange it." ”

About late in the evening, the caravan set off again, and broke into the yellow sand.

As soon as the caravan entered the desert, it went out by day and night, sleeping for a maximum of two hours a day.

……

The yellow sand covers the sky and the sun.

In the middle of this endless desert, under a sand dune of yellow sand.

Li Shuidao sat cross-legged in the sand, holding a peculiar oil lamp in his hand, which was made up of countless tiny yellow sand particles, as if it contained some mysterious power. He slowly injected mana and tried to refine the lamp, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the lamp was like a stubborn stone and could not be refined.

After thinking for a while, the space in front of Li Shuidao suddenly fluctuated, as if it was torn apart by an invisible force, and a huge golden scorpion jumped out of it.

This scorpion is huge, demonic, and its whole body is shining with golden light, which is extremely majestic.

Li Shuidao handed the "Heart of Quicksand" in his hand to the scorpion, and said in a gentle tone: "Five Elements Native Gold, this magic weapon may be suitable for you, take it and refine it." ”

The golden giant scorpion carefully picked up the lump with its pincers, and then slowly injected mana.

Suddenly, the giant crab swallowed the "Heart of Quicksand" into its belly.

A strange wind blew between heaven and earth, and the originally calm desert suddenly surged, and the sky darkened instantly, as if a mysterious and powerful force was awakening in this land.

The golden giant scorpion swallowed the "Heart of Quicksand", and its body began to emit a soft light, which resonated wonderfully with the golden giant scorpion's body.

The carapace of the giant scorpion gradually became dull, as if it had lost its former hardness and sharpness. The lines on the carapace also began to blur, as if eroded by some kind of force.

Over time, the giant scorpion's carapace began to peel off piece by piece, revealing the delicate new flesh inside. These new meats take on a pale golden hue with a seductive sheen. At the same time, the giant scorpion's body began to twist and deform, as if it was being reshaped by some mysterious force.

In the process, the pain and struggle of the giant scorpion is indescribable. It was as if its body had been torn apart, and every nerve was suffering immensely. However, it did not give up, but continued to struggle, to constantly metamorphose.

Finally, after a long and painful metamorphosis, the giant scorpion's body completed a wonderful transformation. Its upper body is transformed into a beautiful woman, with a graceful figure and long jet-black hair. The lower body is still in the form of a scorpion, strong and powerful, full of a sense of power.
