Chapter 1: The Land of Quicksand
Wang Yicheng went to a town at the bottom of the mountain, bought a horse, and rode it south. The flight of the Tsukiji Monk's imperial sword is naturally much faster than riding a horse, but it consumes more true yuan power, and he still relies on horses for long-distance travel.
One day a month later, Wang Yicheng was already in the land of quicksand. The sky was scorching, the yellow desert stretched as far as the eye could see, and the wave-shaped sand dunes were one after another, like frozen waves in the yellow sea.
Wang Yicheng stepped on the life-killing ring and flew in the air, the heat wave hit, as if steaming and roasting on the stove, in such an environment, flying especially consumes the true yuan force, Wang Yicheng flew for a period of time, he had to land and rest for a while, take pills, and meditate to restore the true yuan power. It has been three days since I entered the land of quicksand, and I have only flown more than 500 miles. It is estimated that this speed will pass through the quicksand land, and I am afraid it will take half a year.
Wang Yicheng took out a water bag and poured two sips of water, and the monks who built the foundation could basically open the valley and not eat food, but the water still had to be drunk.
Wiping a handful of sweat, I looked at the fireball sun in the sky. Wang Yicheng decided to find a shady place to rest first, and looked around, surrounded by undulating sand dunes, how could there be a shady place. Wang Yicheng took out a formation plate, on which the formation was described, which could gather water spiritual power. However, in this dry desert, there is no water spiritual power. Fortunately, Wang Yicheng's storage ring carries a lot of water.
After a while, a mist steamed, enveloping Wang Yicheng, and he felt very cool. That's the benefit of Array Mage.
At dusk, the sun was setting in the west and the temperature was gradually dropping, and Wang Yicheng took control of the flying sword and flew again. After flying for a while, Wang Yicheng suddenly made a turn in the air and landed slowly. I saw a sand dune next to it, with many white bones and corpses.
Wang Yicheng landed in front of the corpse, only to see human bones, camel and horse bones, and many luggage vehicles. It appears to be a small desert caravan.
Because the land of quicksand separates the southern region from the central continent, the goods between the two places are not connected, which gives the caravans that trade between the two places extremely profitable. Despite the dangers of the quicksands, there are still many caravans that venture through.
These caravans should have been destroyed not long after, and after a long time, they were buried by the wind and sand. The corpse looked like it had been attacked by a wild beast, otherwise it wouldn't have been gnawed so cleanly. Approaching the corpse and smelling it carefully, there is still a smell of blood, and the murderer should not have gone far.
Wang Yicheng's heart became vigilant, and suddenly, a feeling of danger came, although it was not strong, but it came from the sand under his feet.
Wang Yicheng immediately used the levitation technique, and his body floated upward. "Click!" A big mouth suddenly stretched out from under the sand, closed it hard, and almost bit the sole of Wang Yicheng's foot.
Then an ugly triangular head emerged from the sand, a reptile with an earthy yellow body with a very rough body, stubby limbs, a long tail, yellow vertical pupils, and a sharp circle of white teeth in its mouth, which at first glance looked like a crocodile on earth.
"It's a sand lizard!" Wang Yicheng recognized this monster, which is a species endemic to the land of quicksand, likes to move under the sand, is cruel and easy to kill, and often moves in groups, and swarms when it smells a little blood. It is the most ferocious creature in the land of quicksand, and it seems that the caravan that was killed was done by these sand lizards.
The sand lizard did not give up on Wang Yicheng who was floating in the air, jumped up hard, and bit Wang Yicheng's foot with his big mouth open. It has good jumping power, a huge body, and can jump to a height of more than two meters. Wang Yicheng floated upwards slightly, and let it bite into the air again.
"Huh!" Wang Yicheng took out his life-killing ring and cut the sand lizard directly in half, and the blood and internal organs were dripping and spilling a drop, and a bloody smell wafted away.
Suddenly, the surrounding sand began to wriggle, and one by one the sand lizards came out of the sand and began to snatch the corpses of their companions. I saw that the sand in a radius of dozens of feet was wriggling, and I didn't know how many sand lizards there were below. Wang Yicheng was nauseated, and stepped on the life-killing ring and flew away at an accelerated pace.
The sunset was obliquely shining, the golden desert was shining with golden light, and Wang Yicheng stepped on the life-killing ring and flew in the air like a sharp arrow. At this time, the temperature in the air has dropped, and it is very cool, which is suitable for a hurried flight.
Wang Yicheng, who was flying, suddenly slowed down and slowly stopped in the air, and a breeze blew his hair, and the wind rose.
Wang Yicheng frowned slightly, the most terrifying thing in the desert is not the scorching sun, nor the terrible creatures, but the wind. The storm in the desert is terrifying, obscuring the sky and the sun, like the end of the world, and the power is amazing.
The wind in the air is increasing in speed, carrying sand and making a rustling sound on the body and face. Looking at the sky, there is a dusk, and the area of this dusk is constantly expanding, rapidly eroding the sky.
Wang Yicheng flew high into the sky, looking at the direction of the storm, floating to a height of hundreds of meters, and suddenly his face changed, and at the end of the sky, a thousand miles long earthy yellow high wall was advancing like a wave. It is a wall of sand formed by the sand and gravel that has been swept up by the storm. Although it was still hundreds of miles away, Wang Yicheng could feel its power, and the ground and sky were trembling slightly. The speed of the air suddenly became rapid, and the wind whined like a battle horn.
Wang Yicheng quickly landed down, and when he reached the sand, the life-killing ring quickly rotated on the sand, and a sand hole was drilled, and Wang Yicheng drilled into it, and did not stop until he was more than ten meters deep under the ground. A storm in the desert is similar to a hurricane in the ocean, raging only on the surface and safe when it reaches the ground.
After a while, there was a rumbling sound on the ground, as if thousands of war horses were galloping on the ground. The sound went from far to near, very fast, getting louder and louder, and finally became a deafening roar. The earth shook as if it had been struck by a giant. The storm has passed by the desert overhead.
Although Wang Yicheng was more than ten meters underground, he still felt a little frightened, this was the power of heaven and earth, far more terrifying than the magic power of all monks. Wang Yicheng sank more than ten meters before he felt safer.
Suddenly, a feeling of danger came from his side, and Wang Yicheng's life-killing ring immediately stabbed deeply into the sand around him, only to see a piece of blood seeping through the sand. Apparently the attackers have taken out the Death Ring. Scraping off the sand around him, he saw a hideous head still bleeding, an adult sand lizard.
At this time, a sense of danger came from all directions. Wang Yicheng was taken aback, the sand lizard's sense of smell is extremely keen, even in the sand, it can smell blood, just like a shark in the sea.
Soon, there was a rustling sound around, which was the friction sound of a sand lizard breaking through the sand and moving forward. I saw that in the hole where Wang Yicheng was hiding, several sand lizard heads suddenly came out, all with their big mouths open, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth and biting Wang Yicheng.
Wang Yicheng whined in the wind, circled around his body, and cut the heads of these sand lizards in half. Suddenly, the armor light shield on his body emitted a burst of arc fire, and it turned out that a sand lizard sneaked up from the ground and bit Wang Yicheng's thigh, but fortunately there was armor to protect it. The sand lizard was directly burned into charcoal.
However, Wang Yicheng's face became heavier and heavier, because he already felt more and more sand lizards rushing towards him. They smell the blood of their own kind, and they come to bite their own kind.
Soon, one by one, the heads of the sand lizards kept coming out of the sand wall, but they would be killed by Wang Yicheng immediately. The small sand cave was full of sand lizard limbs, and the blood soaked the sand, and the strong smell of blood made people vomit. Wang Yicheng had no choice but to kill these sand lizards while slowly moving forward in the sand.
I don't know how many sand lizards he killed, Wang Yicheng's face became more and more ugly, these sand lizards seemed to be endless, and the more they were killed, the more they were killed. His True Yuan power was consumed quickly, after all, these sand lizards were all rough and thick-skinned, and it was also very laborious to cut their bodies with the Death Ring.
Seeing that these sand lizards seem to be endless, they can't be killed. Wang Yicheng had no choice but to slowly rise to the ground. In the sand is the world of sand lizards, and only by leaving the sand can we live.
But the storm on the ground was still raging, and the closer it got to the ground, the more it vibrated and rumbled.
Wang Yicheng was helpless by the sand lizard, and just drilled out a head, when suddenly the wind was strong, and a tabletop-sized wind blade rotated at high speed and cut towards his head.
Wang Yicheng was taken aback, and instantly sacrificed the molten gold mirror, and with a loud "boom", Wang Yicheng's body was directly hit by the wind blade and flew up, and in an instant, the powerful wind rolled up his body and flew straight into the sky.
Wang Yicheng was caught in a huge tornado, which was several kilometers high and was spinning wildly. The most terrifying thing is that there are hundreds of such giant tornadoes whistling in the entire storm, and the huge roaring sound is deafening.
Wang Yicheng spun wildly in the tornado, like a twitched spinning top, and there were many large and small wind blades in the tornado that collided back and forth, stirring everything into pieces and fine sand.
The molten gold mirror shield on Wang Yicheng's body instantly became extremely bright. This is the effect of being attacked by the Wind Blade.
Wang Yicheng regretted it, thinking that the power of the storm was so terrifying, now he wanted to support the defense of the Molten Gold Mirror, the true yuan power was consumed faster than in the underground, and he couldn't support it for a few minutes, his true yuan power would be consumed, and then it would be broken into pieces by these wind blades.
What should I do? Wang Yicheng did not expect that just a few days after entering the desert, he would face a death crisis. There was a dim blur in front of me, only rumbling in my ears, only the power of the wind here, and all sensations were nullified.
Suddenly, Wang Yicheng made a bold move, he removed the defense of the molten gold mirror, and his body was surrounded by roaring winds, and he was feeling these winds. He himself is a cultivator of wind spells, and he is very sensitive to the movement of the wind. He is feeling the flow of the wind, merging his body with the wind, which is a higher level of control and grasp of the wind. In the roaring tornado, Wang Yicheng rotated on one side, constantly making all kinds of unbelievable movements, and all the wind blades that shot at him were dodged.
Wang Yicheng couldn't think with his brain at this time, he was completely immersed in the feeling of the wind. I don't know how long it took, but the howling wind gradually became quieter, and the violent wind was weakening.
The desert storm finally stopped, and Wang Yicheng slowly landed from the air, his clothes had been torn clean by the wind, and there was not even a piece of underwear left. Fortunately, Wang Yicheng has spare clothes in the space ring, and he took it out and wore it on his body.
Looking up, it was already late at night, and a bright moon hung in the sky, spreading silver light over the desert.
Wang Yicheng felt very tired, the true yuan power and physical strength in his body were almost exhausted, and he urgently needed a place to meditate and recover. But the ubiquitous sand lizards in the desert really gave him a headache.
Wang Yicheng floated over the desert and looked around, when he suddenly saw a strange rock in front of him, on which many stone pillars stood on it.
Wang Yicheng flew over slowly, only to see that the rock was earthy yellow, more than 100 meters long and more than 20 meters wide. Hundreds of stone pillars are erected on it. Tall and short, large and small. The tallest stone pillar is more than five meters high and more than one meter in diameter.
Wang Yicheng slowly landed on this stone pillar, feeling very strange, who built these stone pillars in the desert, and what use was it? The stone pillar was bare, and there were no inscriptions and pictures on it.
I don't know what these pillars are for, but it's good to rest for a while. Wang Yicheng sat cross-legged on the stone pillar and began to meditate to recover his true yuan power.
I don't know how long later, Wang Yicheng suddenly opened his eyes, and with a trace of consciousness left behind, he felt that something seemed to be approaching him. Looking at it from a distance, I saw the sand a few hundred meters away squirming slightly.
Wang Yicheng immediately frowned, obviously the sand lizard was moving under the sand, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them, but how did these sand lizards know that he was here, and tracked him down?
Just as he was thinking, the sand lizards stopped and stood still around the big rock they were on. Wang Yicheng was surprised, could it be that these stone pillars have something to do with sand lizards, this is their territory?
The next moment, Wang Yicheng was taken aback, only to see that the huge rock under him actually shook slowly, and then rose from the sand. Wang Yicheng finally saw clearly that the thing under him was not a rock, but a super huge sand lizard.
This sand lizard is more than 100 meters long and seven or eight meters high, like a small hill. And these stone pillars that stand on their own are bone spurs growing on its back.
I saw this giant sand lizard running in one direction with hundreds of small sand lizards. What are these sand lizards going to do? Wang Yicheng became curious, he was afraid of being discovered by these sand lizards, so he hung the invisible nightmare stone that he had obtained in the nightmare world on his chest, and his whole body slowly hid it.
The giant sand lizard traveled very fast, and Wang Yicheng felt that its might was definitely a demon beast of the great demon level. However, the intelligence of reptiles is weak, and even when it comes to the big demon, it has not turned on its sanity. Unlike many lemurs and other creatures, when they were little demons, they had wisdom.
The sand lizards ran wild in the desert for hours until it was slightly brighter and it was dawn. Suddenly, a large dark city appeared on the ground in front of them.
Wang Yicheng was slightly surprised, as far as he knew, the land of quicksand was an extremely desolate barren land, and there was not even an oasis, how could a city appear.
