This desert seems to have no end, everyone walked for nearly two hours, came to a forest that had long lost its life, many decayed and dry trees were buried in the sand, Xiao Chen looked up and saw the red clouds rising, the sun was about to twilight, I am afraid that today I will not be able to get out of this desert.

Hu Han instructed behind him: "Brothers, camp here tonight and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving." Naturally, the twenty or so people in the back had no objections and began to divide their work.

Thanks to the care of these people along the way, Xiao Chen was not idle at the moment, so he asked Luo Yanyan to sit under a withered tree, and then went alone to drag some dry firewood and stone slabs. Hu Han saw that he was born with a polite temperament, and he didn't want to have so much strength, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Xiao has also practiced, right?"

Xiao Chen put down a large stone slab and smiled lightly: "When I was young, I practiced martial arts with my father. ”

When everyone took care of the surroundings, the sky was completely dark, the sky in the desert was clear, the stars and the moon were far brighter than the outside, leaving seven or eight people to set up a fire in the middle, and the rest went to the vicinity to sprinkle medicinal powder to prevent the poisonous insects and fierce ants in the desert from attacking at night.

"Brother Hu, this Death Desert has been formed in recent years, right?" Xiao Chen asked, looking at the broken tiles in his hand.

"Yes, I heard from the old people that it seemed to have deteriorated into a desert a hundred years ago, and it used to be really beautiful here. ”

Xiao Chen nodded, just along the way, he noticed that there were dilapidated houses and palaces in many places, even if it was not prosperous in the past, it was definitely not the lifeless appearance it is now, it began to lose its vitality a hundred years ago, but what is the reason......

"But the city is a miracle, built in the desert but vibrant, the city lives a hundred or two hundred thousand people, I heard that their city lord has great magical powers, but to ensure that the life of a radius of ten miles will never be lost, the people in the city are worshiped tightly. ”

Xiao Chen's spirit mentioned: "Oh, there is such a god?" Thinking to himself, the condensation front before seemed to be intended for the spiritual vein of the Zhou Kingdom, could it be that their city lord used his magic power to take a spiritual vein in this vicinity as his own?

What is the plan of this person to gather the power of spiritual veins everywhere regardless of thousands of living beings?

The night was getting deeper, and there was no sound except for the crackling of the fire in the middle, and the snoring of some people who fell asleep, and the whole thing was lifeless.

Cultivating to the realm of Xiao Chen, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for a night or two, but Luo Yanyan was a little sleepy, leaning on his shoulder and gradually falling into a dream, suddenly a rustling sound sounded, and the sound became clearer and clearer from far to near.

Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his consciousness swept away, and saw that many unknown creatures underground were approaching this side, and was about to give a warning, Hu Han stood up violently, pulled out the saber on his waist, and shouted: "Everyone, wake up!

Hearing the sound, everyone woke up, pulled out the long knives on their waists, and gathered in the middle, Hu Han saw that Xiao Chen and the others were still outside, and shouted: "Brother Xiao! Danger! Come here!"

Luo Yan Yan was also awakened at this moment, Xiao Chen pulled her to the middle, under the moonlight, but saw that the flat desert suddenly fluctuated, and I don't know how many things were pouring down below, and the scalp of the Zhijiao was numb, and he kept exclaiming for a while: "What's the matter! Why are there so many sandworms!"

In their impressions, there were indeed many sandworms in this dead desert, as long as arms, but they were not enough to gather so many raiders to attack the passing merchants, and they also buried a lot of medicinal powder in the nearby sand.

Suddenly, not far away, the gravel exploded, and a huge creature poured out of the ground, it was a knobular creature, about two feet long, the thickness of a bucket, and its whole body was dark red, with no head or eyes at the top, only a disc, but the disc was full of white fangs.

Xiao Chen was shocked in his heart, what kind of worm is this, this is simply a monster! Everyone was also shocked: "How can this sand worm be so big!"

Before the words fell, twenty or thirty of these huge sandworms poured out from the surrounding brushes, and everyone's scalps were numb for a while, they had never seen such a big sandworm, they could completely swallow a person, and Luo Yan was also frightened and pale, this monster was really disgusting, and there was red juice flowing out of the big mouth of the disc at the top.

Hu Han held a long knife and said calmly: "Don't panic! Don't go away!"

Before he finished speaking, a sandworm quickly attacked, and several people in the outermost area immediately slashed towards the sandworm, but the sharp blade could not cut into the sandworm's body, but was bounced away by its softness, and everyone was shocked, ordinary sandworms can be cut with a knife, and such mutated sandworms are invulnerable.

Hu Han was shocked: "Be careful!" But it was too late, the sandworm swallowed a mouthful, and the person had no time to dodge and had been sucked into the sandworm's mouth, at this moment, a silver-white sword light flashed, snorted, and the blood splattered, and the sandworm broke into two in an instant, the upper one fell to the ground, and the lower one quickly flew back into the sand.

Everyone was stunned, and the rest of the dozens of sandworms attacked together, Xiao Chen condensed his mind, and the Innocent Sword suddenly turned into thousands of dazzling long rays, but the sneering sound continued, and it seemed to rain blood in mid-air, and dozens of mutated sandworms were wiped out in an instant under the sword light.

The new sandworms that emerged from the ground did not dare to continue forward, coming and going like a tide.

Only then did everyone see that Fang Cai's incomparable sword qi was actually sent by Xiao Chen, Hu Han was the first to react, and bowed down to Xiao Chen on one knee: "Hey! In vain, my Hu Han has been wandering the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, but I haven't been able to see that my brother is a member of the Xianmen!"

Xiao Chen quickly helped him up: "Brother Hu won't talk about this first, let's go and see if that brother is sick." ”

More than 20 people immediately looked for the previous half of the sandworm and worked together to cut it open, but fortunately, the person who was swallowed before was not digested, but was frightened, and his body curled up into a ball at the moment, still trembling.

After this incident, it is no longer advisable to stay here for a long time, everyone changed places, Hu Han and others have greatly increased their reverence for Xiao Chen, they have always regarded the people in the immortal cultivation sect as immortals, driving things in the air, flying with swords, taking people's heads thousands of miles away, calling for wind and rain as if omnipotent.

"I don't know if Brother Xiao is under Yuqing's sect or Tianfeng's sect?"

Xiao Chen smiled lightly and shook his head, no, he is a disciple of Xuanqing, if thousands of years ago, ordinary people asked him what sect he was, he could always proudly say: "I am a disciple of Xuanqing, and I am a disciple of Yaoguang Palace." ”

Then those people would say with great reverence: "It turned out to be the apprentice of the Xuanqing Miaoyin Fairy, no wonder he cultivated so well at a young age." ”

However, to this day, I can only feel sad when I think about it, and when I turned around, I saw that Luo Yanyan was still pale, and asked, "Senior Sister Luo, are you still afraid?"

Everyone heard him say that Luo Yanyan was his wife, and now they heard him call the other party his senior sister, and after thinking about it, they guessed that he probably eloped with his senior sister because of the rule in the door that he was not allowed to have feelings with his classmates.

Seeing the eyes looking around, Luo Yanqiao's face turned red, and she said softly: "No, no." ”

The night passed, and everyone was somewhat tired at the moment because of what had happened last night, but they had to set out immediately, otherwise they would not have been able to reach the city before dark to-day.

Along the way, Hu Han was a lot more polite to Xiao Chen, but this made him seem a little uncomfortable, and at dusk, he finally saw a towering castle in the distance, below the castle is a small-scale city, and the green mountains and green waters outside the city are surrounded, which is diametrically opposed to the lifeless atmosphere of the Death Desert.

When he arrived near the moat, Xiao Chen immediately felt an abundant aura, but faintly he felt a trace of discomfort, this feeling was difficult to describe, as if there was a large array here, binding the nearby aura.

When I arrived in the city, I saw people coming and going, and it was very lively, except for the local residents, the rest were cultivators from all over the world, some were from the sect, and more were scattered people, and they were all expected to come for the ruins of the ancient immortals.

The most conspicuous building in the city is the castle on the high hill in the west city, the castle is surrounded by clouds and fog, giving people a deep and mysterious feeling, Hu Han smiled: "That is the castle of the city lord." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, for some reason, he always felt that this place gave him an indescribable strangeness, and said: "Brother Hu, maybe you don't like to listen to my words, but I hope you don't go to the Gu Immortal Ruins, I feel that this place is very strange." ”

He thought to himself that most of the people who went to the Gu Immortal Ruins were cultivators, and one of them just passed by him was in the early stage of the Yudan, and he didn't want their twenty or so people to lose their lives in vain.

Hu Han smiled: "This is natural, we just look around, we won't go in." Xiao Chen bowed slightly: "Then my senior sister and I will say goodbye to you here." He said and clasped his fists at the crowd.

Everyone also clenched their fists at him: "There will be a period later!"

Bidding farewell to Hu Han and others, because it was late, Xiao Chen found an inn to live temporarily, because of the geographical location, there are many business travelers who usually come to Wufu City to rest, so the inn industry in the city is very developed, but despite this, Xiao Chen also looked for a long time before finding an inn that was not yet full.

After eating, he went to the room, Xiao Chen opened the window on the west side, looked at the looming ancient castle in the west city, and thought in his heart, who lived inside......

Luo Yan walked up to him and said softly, "That castle is very strange. Xiao Chen turned around: "You can also see it?"

Luo Yanyan nodded: "There is the most abundant aura, but it seems to be bound by something." ”

This was exactly what Xiao Chen had guessed before, the city lord in the ancient castle had bound an earth spirit vein with a secret technique, and he shook his head: "Senior Sister Luo, let's go to the Gu Immortal Ruins tomorrow to have a look, and then leave here." ”

He didn't want to have any entanglement with that city lord, because he vaguely felt that that person was very powerful, and he could use his own strength to bind an earth spirit vein.

And everyone has something that everyone wants to do, just like he wants to find the reason for the fall of the immortals and demons thousands of years ago, wants to find the reason for his rebirth, wants to find the master, he doesn't want to interfere with others, as long as it doesn't affect him.
