More than 800 people gathered in front of the two sand pits, chewing and sucking something called water and sand in their mouths, and everyone had a smile on their faces like drinking nectar.

Seeing this, Yue Chen expected that at least two to three days of rest would be unavoidable. Therefore, they followed the direction in which the water and sand appeared, and drove into five sand pits of the same size in the north direction for everyone to rest.

In the crowd, Sima Liang kept squinting to see if anyone was watching him. Cao Shuang was next to another sand pit, keeping his head down, silently drawing water from the water and sand.

Just when everyone was sucking up a lot of water and sand, someone next to the first pit first shouted, "Ant ......!"

Yue Chen was far away, but he also heard the sound of an ant crying coming from the ground. Edgeworth hurriedly made his way to the edge of the first pit, staring with the others at the red light that appeared on the ground at the bottom of the pit.

"Troll ants!" Yue Chen said softly, "How could there be such a demon beast in this kind of place?"

Sima Liang had already run to Yue Chen's side and said busily, "Hall Master, isn't this little demon beast powerful?"

"If we let them smell blood, once they induce physical mutations, then we really don't have a chance at all. Yue Chen said: "However, fortunately, this kind of demon beast will not attack creatures until night." ”

"That hall master, you are ...... in this garment"

"Yes, I think it must be the smell of blood that has attracted them, so we need to get out of here overnight and hurry forward. ”

Yu Yu said: "Hall Master, the next thing is obvious, we must follow the water and sand road. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of this desert. ”

Yue Chen nodded and said, "Let's go north along the Shuisha Road." Everyone is ready, ready, and get up immediately. I'll cut it off! If the last resort comes, I'll lure the troll ants away. Don't stop, I'll catch up. ”

With the supply of water and sand, the spirit of the whole team is much better. Shen Yan, Zhuge Yi, Sima Liang, Yu Qi and others walked in the front, following the direction in which Yu Yu could find water and sand.

Yue Chen did not leave the first sand pit, nor did he pay attention to the red ants that kept pouring out of the sand pit, but quietly stared at the red sun in the sky. Because the hour is counted, it has reached the hour of Shen, that is, when the sky is getting dark.

The red sun, too, hung quietly in the air, without any signs of change. Yue Chen remembered the events of last night, obviously there was also a dark night in this desert, how to explain the strange things that started this morning?

"Could it be that this desert will move on its own?" Yue Chen's mind suddenly had such a strange thought, and he thought again: "When Sima Liang and the others jumped down, they could see a ladder passage, and when I jumped down, how did it become a passage of the abyss? Moreover, although they were two different passages, we still appeared together. If it is because the desert is moving on its own, then the problem is that it is on the labyrinth of the forest, or is it in the passage dug by Ban Meng? Or is the desert and the labyrinth of mountains and forests one and the same?"

Yue Chen pondered: "If this is the case, then the direction that Shen Yan used the compass to determine is probably not reliable at all. Now, should we be in that direction, the land of life or the place of death? If we look at the two directions that were determined at the beginning, the first judgment should be correct, but how can we explain that we have not seen night for three days? It would be too inconsequential to say that we are walking parallel to the sun. ”

A person thinks quietly, and time flies quickly. Yue Chen calculated that it was almost time, and it was time for the troll ants to dispatch. When I looked down, as expected, the troll ants, which should only be dispatched in the dark of night, were also active during this "daytime". The ant chirps grew louder and louder, coming from several bunkers.

Yue Chen's face rarely flashed with a sly smile. After a while, Edgeworth came to a sand pit at the front, took out the Heavenly Lonely Turtle from his arms, and placed it on a flat sandy ground. If it weren't for Yue Chen's expectations, these unmutated troll ants would still become the "cultivation resources" of the Heavenly Lonely Turtle.

Sure enough, everything was expected by Yue Chen. After the Heavenly Lonely Turtle landed, its eyes emitted black and white light, and everything was exactly the same as what Yue Chen had seen in the Annihilation Valley. Suddenly, the wave-like red ripples floated over like a small turtle, turning into a red spiritual mist as always, all of which were absorbed by the Heavenly Lonely Turtle.

Initially, everything was normal. Gradually, Yue Chen felt something unusual. First of all, along the direction of the water and sand road, the desert began to sink and sink. Then there were more and more troll ants, but the Sky Lonely Turtle had no intention of stopping.

Yue Chen even understood what the consequences would be once these huge numbers of giant demon ants lost the control of the Heavenly Lonely Turtle. Yes, for a while, Yue Chen didn't know whether to wait or retreat.

The situation at this time reminded Yue Chen of the situation that the Heavenly Lonely Turtle had once appeared. At the beginning, the place where I stood was the so-called Array Eye, but now? Now the place where I stand and behind me is still very quiet, who knows what will happen once I fly in the sky?

Yue Chen tried to calm himself down, looked down at the Heavenly Lonely Turtle, and was surprised to find that the seven cracks on its back that had been torn had been repaired three times, and the fourth one was also slowly closing. At the crack that was repaired, a faint red glow was produced in the golden light, and the two rays were intertwined, making it appear brighter.

It wasn't until the fourth crack was closed that the turtle no longer continued to devour the red spiritual mist, but it didn't stop. Gradually, the red spirit mist formed in front of the turtle's eyes gathered more and more, and it stayed in the air like that. The dense number of troll ants has not decreased.

Yue Chen slowly took out a red long bottle, and after hesitating, he tried to collect these red spirit mist masses. Unexpectedly, these spiritual mist masses were put into the bottle, like condensed dewdrops, not blending with each other, stacked one after the other.

For a while, Yue Chen was very focused on collecting it, and his attention was all on the red spirit mist. After about half an hour, the red spirit mist was collected, and the troll ants were gone. Yue Chen stood up, and suddenly felt that his eyes were full of red, and the cracked sand pit was like a demon's giant tongue, drifting with the little red stars.

"It's dark!"

Yue Chen suddenly woke up and looked at the surrounding environment, which was somewhat similar to the first time he saw the desert, but judging by his feelings, it was still strange and abnormal. After a while, he put away the bottle, picked up the little turtle and left decisively. The sound of the sand pit cracking behind him sounded again, Yue Chen secretly screamed badly, and even urged the Qinglong Sword to glide over the desert like a meteor in the middle of the night.

While flying, Yue Chen gradually remembered his own situation and the direction in which Shen Yan and the others had left. So he had an idea, and he had to judge the direction of his progress based on the sound of the sand pit behind him. The night grew darker, and the long-lasting cracking sound faded away.

"Are you at the end of the bunker?" Yue Chen asked himself, looking at the black space in front of him, even if he had the cultivation of the Divine Derivation Realm Triple Realm, his eyesight was already extremely strong, but with the lighting bead in his hand, the range he could see was extremely limited. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly heard someone yelling. Yue Chen couldn't care so much, and flew directly in the direction where the voice came from.

The voices of hundreds of people calling out "Hall Master" became clearer and clearer, and Yue Chen's heart was overjoyed, and Edgeworth came into the darkness where the voice came from.

Sima Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hall Master, there are no one missing, I brought them all here safely." ”

"Oh, thank you, Senior Brother Sima!" Yue Chen said, "Why don't you make a fire?"

Sima Liang relied on the lighting bead in Yue Chen's hand and pointed, Yue Chen looked over there, only to see a person with a pale face, and one of his right arms was cut off shoulder to shoulder. The right arm on the ground had turned black and smelly, and it was making a sizzling sound.

"The trees here are poisonous?"

"yes!"

"But where are the woods in the desert?"

"Roar ......!" Sima Liang's signature laughter came again, and he said in a deep voice: "My hall master, we have already walked out of the desert!" Then he told Yue Chen how he discovered a secret passage.

It turned out that after Yue Chen ordered everyone to set off immediately, Sima Liang had been at the forefront. At the beginning, everyone still listened to Yu Shu and walked in the direction of Shuisha Road. But who would have expected that after walking out of the five miles, Sima Liang found a secret passage leading to the center of the desert. This secret road itself is nothing, it is just a sand ridge formed over the years. Because of the formation of this sand ridge, a lot of rain is required. Therefore, Sima Liang believed that along this sand ridge, he would definitely be able to find the real water source.

If so, that's a good result. However, one of the most critical issues is the question of direction. The direction of this sand ridge is exactly the opposite direction of the water and sand road. Suddenly, the crowd divided into two factions and began to argue. At the critical moment, a gap began to crack in the direction of the water and sand road, and it became bigger and bigger. Only then did everyone gather again, and everyone decisively walked along the sand ridge.

If it is said that walking along the water and sand road is always daytime, then walking along the sand ridge, it is getting darker and darker until it is always night. When he came here, someone used the fire system method to ignite a flame, and just touched a tree casually, and the whole right arm began to turn black and burn. Fortunately, the person next to him was quick and cut off his entire right arm directly, which could be regarded as saving his life.

Immediately afterward, there was a rustling sound in the dark woods, which quickly gathered towards the firelight. Of course, everyone quickly extinguished the fire in their hands, and they didn't dare to move forward, so they had to stay where they were. I haven't seen Yue Chen turn around for a long time, and everyone agrees that Yue Chen must have lost his way. So, under Sima Liang's suggestion, everyone shouted "Hall Master" in unison, so that Yue Chen could follow the voice to identify the position and come to the rendezvous.

After listening to this, Yue Chen laughed "haha" and said, "Different paths lead to the same end!" After a pause, he said: "It's okay, everyone is resting here, and I'll be on guard." Tomorrow, I have my own plans!" After that, he came to the trembling person, took out a second-grade spirit pill, and said, "Senior brother, take this Void Pill first, so that you can rest." ”

The person nodded and said, "Thank you, hall master, my name is Xiahou Tong,......"

Yue Chen stopped and said, "Senior Brother Xiahou, don't say it. Believe that we will go back alive!"

Sima Liang in the distance snorted again: "It's only been seven days! These three months are longer than my life of three hundred years! It's unforgettable!"

Yue Chen smiled bitterly, stood up and walked towards the dense forest in the dark. When he was close to the tree, the Tiangu Xuan Turtle in his arms moved, and Yue Chen immediately took it out and said softly: "Little Turtle, can you handle it?"

The Heavenly Lonely Turtle touched Yue Chen's palm with his mouth, and Yue Chen was already convinced of the Heavenly Lonely Turtle's supernatural ability and placed it on the ground. The Heavenly Lonely Turtle first identified the direction before quickly entering the dense forest and disappearing under the light of the lighting beads.

According to Yue Chen's estimate, the Heavenly Lonely Turtle would come back in half an hour at most, but this time, Yue Chen was outrageously wrong.

Because this is the whole seven days.

For seven days, there was no day, only night. Everyone didn't dare to make a fire, and they all gathered around the lighting beads, quietly waiting for the arrival of the savior. Or rather, waiting for the sky to get brighter. Only Yue Chen waited for the appearance of the Xuan Turtle.

At nightbreak on the seventh day, Yue Chen was still standing where the turtle had left, waiting quietly. If the time is too long, it is easy to get tired habitually, and Yue Chen, as a mortal, is no exception. After standing for a while, he closed his eyes and listened attentively. Suddenly, I felt something touch the tip of my toe, and it was a very familiar feeling.

Yue Chen picked up the turtle and said softly, "Little turtle, I thought you would leave like this and never come back!" When he checked the cracks on the turtle's back, he found that everything was back to normal. It's just that the three cracks that were repaired in the end turned into a ray of blue light in the golden mang. Yue Chen didn't know where the Xuan Turtle had gone and what he had done.

After a pause, he asked, "Can I leave?" Xuan Turtle touched Yue Chen's palm a few more times with his mouth, and then began to fall asleep, like a child who was extremely tired. After Yue Chen picked up the turtle, he came to everyone.

"Senior brothers, we're leaving!"

"Where are you going?" Sima Liang hurriedly asked, "This black light is blinding, go there." If you touch the devouring tree, it's over. ”

"Then burn them!" Yue Chen said categorically, "At this time, those who stand in my way will die!" As he spoke, he casually played more than a dozen fire-based talisman spells, and the trees on the periphery of the dense forest began to burn.

Everyone here noticed the change in Yue Chen, changing the softness of the audience in the past, and becoming more and more resolute and decisive.

Many of these people practiced the Fire Dao Method, and they also set fire to it.

The raging fire burned red, reflecting the faces of those who were strong and trying to survive. There are flames reflected in each resolute gaze, and this flame is not the fire in the dense forest in front of you, but the fire that rises in everyone's chest. When the fire in the dense forest is extinguished, the fire in the chest will never be extinguished.

The flames continued to burn, illuminating the dense forest within a radius of 100 miles. This dense forest is full of towering trees that are 10,000 years old, and the dense branches and foliage completely cover the ground, as if it is a natural veil tent. The upper half of the hugging tree is luxuriant, and the lower half is dry and black, and there is a nameless mucus stuck to it. The dry half burns as soon as it encounters a fire.

With the sound of "crackling" burning, one by one figures passed through the firelight and walked into the mysterious woods. If you go down, no one knows. But everyone knows that you can only know if you go down.

Among the disciples of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, Zhuge Yi and Sima Liang are everyone's timers. They silently count the hours all the time, and every critical hour, such as the four o'clock every day, will inform everyone, saving everyone a lot of worries.

On the fifteenth day, everyone clearly felt that this was exactly what it was like to shine every day. The crowd began to shout, which was quickly silenced by a voice.

The first sound was not heard clearly, but after a moment, the second sound was clearly heard by everyone, and it was like a boulder falling to the ground. The sound seemed to come from far away, but it sounded like it was close to it.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Hall Master, look, stone man!" As soon as the words fell, all the people gathered around Yue Chen with a hula and looked at the Baizhang stone man hidden in the woods.

The four eyes of the stone man, like two golden crows and two jade rabbits, are also looking at this group of ants like ants. After a while, a "click" sound came, and everyone followed the sound and found that the stone man raised his right arm and waved one of his giant fingers slightly towards the crowd.

Hundreds of eyes looked at Yue Chen in unison.

"Hall Master, this stone man senior called you over!"

Yue Chen nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he took out the Seven Evil Xuanmu and walked over slowly.

Everyone clearly saw that Yue Chen was taking more than ten steps, and suddenly the sword went upwards and landed steadily on a round stone raised in front of the stone man's chest. After a while, the stone man's heart emitted a dazzling golden black light, holding up the ordinary wooden stick in Yue Chen's hand. The wooden sticks in the light kept tumbling and spinning, and although the red light emitted from the wooden sticks became stronger and stronger, it could not break through the golden crow light at all. There seemed to be a mysterious and powerful force in the golden crow light, which kept refining the seemingly extremely ordinary wooden stick until the red light completely disappeared and the wooden stick stopped.

Suddenly, the golden crow light also disappeared, and the ordinary wooden stick fell into Yue Chen's hand again.

The sound of "click" sounded again, and the stone man slowly retracted his right arm, letting out a "roar" like thunder. The two golden black eyes suddenly emitted colorful light, and this mysterious light seemed to have unparalleled mysterious power, slowly holding Yue Chen up.

Everyone saw that the three positions of Yue Chen's body also began to glow faintly. As a Terran monk, he can naturally clearly identify those three locations, which are the three dantian of the human body. Just when everyone was in a daze, suddenly a strong wind blew, and a wind breath that condensed the might of heaven and earth came, gathering everyone together, carrying it and bringing it into the distance.
