Chapter 44: The Endless Sea of Sand
As soon as he stepped into the endless sea of sand, Liu Haofei realized that the sand under his feet was so light, as if stepping on a feather.
"Be careful, the endless sea of sand hides countless quicksands, and there will be sandstorms from time to time, so everyone try to get closer and take care of each other. β
Xu Ze is like a teacher at the moment, reminding and guiding from time to time.
After only one hour of walking, everyone had already encountered four sandstorms, and there were only endless sand dunes around them. In this way, after walking for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and the temperature dropped suddenly, even Guo Xiaoyang, who had reached the precursor realm, felt a biting chill, and shivered from the cold early in the morning.
Xu took out a pale yellow rune paper from the storage ring and threw it into the air.
"Pengβ"
With a slight explosion, the rune paper instantly exploded into a ball of fire. The fireball emitted bright red flames, and the temperature around the crowd gradually rose a lot.
"This is the fire spirit rune, the most basic first-order spirit rune, it is not very useful, and it can also illuminate and keep warm. When you officially become a student of the Fu Seal Department, you will naturally come into contact with these. β
Xu Ze said while controlling the fireball suspended in the air.
The rune seal system specializes in spirit runes, and almost everyone knows how to do it with low-level spirit runes like this.
"There's a fire ahead, and dozens of aura fluctuations, and they're approaching us. Zhao Changhai, who had been silent and acted as a passerby, said at this moment.
Everyone faintly looked at it, and about dozens of red flames were rapidly approaching.
"Could it be a loose cultivation of the Dao robbery?"
Xu Ze frowned, and his divine sense probed the past.
"Oh no! It's a scorpion swarm. Hurry up and run!"
Xu Ze retracted his senses, his face changed, and he was shocked, and then his figure quickly swept to the side. The crowd did not stop and followed.
Even though everyone had been walking rapidly for a quarter of an hour, they still couldn't shake off the firelight, but the fire was getting closer and closer.
"You can't get rid of it, everyone is ready to fight, these dozen or so are just scouts of the demon scorpion group, we must fight quickly, we must not let them get into the sand, once they escape, it will not be long before millions of demon scorpions will be attracted, and at that time, it will be our death period." β
Xu stopped and said with a solemn expression.
Hearing what Xu Ze said was so serious, Liu Haofei had to put away his thoughts about making soy sauce, it was a matter of his own life, so he couldn't afford not to pay attention to it.
"In the sea of sand, it is the world of the demon scorpion swarm, and their speed in the sand is not something we can keep up with, so we must be sure to hit it accurately, and one blow will be fatal. β
Xu Ze emphasized, and then activated the aura, and several sharp ice picks had already appeared in his palm. Others operate their aura, ready to strike at any moment.
Liu Haofei wandered around, arranging spirit stones to prevent accidents.
A dozen flames quickly approached, and when they got closer, they saw that it was not fire at all, but the red light emitted by the barb on the scorpion's tail.
The demon scorpion has a hideous appearance, its whole body is covered with black spines, and its body length is about two or three meters, especially the branch-like tail curled up into a ring, hanging in mid-air, giving people a sense of danger.
More than a dozen demon scorpions did not attack directly, but surrounded several people, obviously not wanting their prey to escape.
"Everyone listen to my command, do it at the same time, remember ......"
"Boom-"
Xu Ze swallowed his saliva and said softly, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a roar.
I saw that the body of a demon scorpion not far from Yu Qing had been torn apart by the bombardment.
"Who's hand!"
Xu Ze was frightened by this sudden change and roared angrily.
"Yes, I'm sorry. His hands trembled. β
Yu Qing dodged his gaze, leaned towards Guo Xiaoyang's side, and said timidly.
Xu Ze didn't have time to ask, so he hurriedly knocked out the ice pick in his hand, which instantly pierced the heads of the two demon scorpions.
Even if everyone reacted quickly, it was not as fast as the demon scorpion burrowed into the sand, and when they saw five or six demon scorpions with only their tails exposed, and they were about to flee into the sand the next moment, everyone couldn't help but show despair.
"Earthbound Array!"
A soft cry came, and the ground around them suddenly trembled, and with the pale yellow light that rose, the demon scorpion that had been drilling into the sand seemed to be pulled by something, and its tail that was outside could only sweep in the air. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly ran the aura attack, and in less than a breath, the demon scorpion had already been killed.
"Whew-"
Xu exhaled deeply, and his face eased for a long time.
"Fortunately, Brother Liu has this hand, otherwise we would all have to be planted here today. β
Xu glanced at Liu Haofei gratefully, and said slowly.
"It's all a team, it's supposed to be done. β
Liu Haofei walked to the corpse of the demon scorpion and said calmly.
"I'm really sorry to cause trouble to everyone, my little junior sister is really a little ignorant. β
Guo Xiaoyang said apologetically.
Xu Ze glared at Yu Qing fiercely, and replied in a somewhat cold voice: "This is no longer a question of understanding or not, she is so ignorant that she almost cost us all our lives, you should discipline this girl well!"
"Yes, yes, yes! When this trial is over, I will definitely return to the sect and ask the sect to give you some compensation. β
Guo Xiaoyang saw Xu Ze giving himself the stairs and hurriedly replied.
Xu Ze saw that Guo Xiaoyang said so sincerely, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget about compensation, I just hope that there will be no next time during this trial, otherwise, don't blame me for driving you away, after all, you can't affect everyone because of one person." β
Yu Qing, who was hiding behind Guo Xiaoyang, also seemed to know that he had made a big mistake, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Alright, let's hurry. β
Xu Ze said, discerning the direction and walking south.
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Liu Haofei fell at the end, casually folded off the barb on the tail of a demon scorpion, put it into the storage ring, and then pretended to be casual and slowly followed.
The sky was slightly bright, and the group had been walking forward for more than six hours.
"We are about to enter the interior of the Endless Sand Sea, this is also the most dangerous place in the entire Endless Sand Sea, there are often casual cultivators who rob the Dao, and there will be powerful spirit beasts infested, be careful. β
Xu Ze suddenly stopped and reminded.
"Powerful spirit beasts?"
Guo Xiaoyang was a little puzzled.
"That's right, it's so powerful that even the powerhouses of the Later Spirit Realm can kill them in an instant. β
Xu Ze said, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Liu Haofei looked from afar, and saw that the sea of sand in front of him looked different from the one under his feet. The sand is dark brown and completely tarnished, creating a sharp contrast to the previous yellow sand. And there are bushes in it, and you can even see a large beach.
