Chapter 223: Departure

Frowning, Zhou Nan studied the mysterious black jade. But up and down, so that he even used "Soul Determination", but this piece of black jade was stunned and did not react at all. It's still just a pitch black, covered with strange tree texts, completely shrouding itself in the fog, and the birds don't have a bird Zhou Nan, and the arrogant one can be called.

Such a slap in the face made Zhou Nan angry. But after fiddling with everything, under the poor skills of the donkey, Zhou Nan could only sigh helplessly, knowing that this thing was not qualified for him to explore now. He sensibly took out a precious wooden box, put the black jade in it, pasted the sealing charm, put it in the sealed dragon coffin, and kept it properly.

This piece of black jade must have a secret, he firmly believes in it. Zhou Nan didn't know the importance of it before, and he could still hang it on his chest casually as an ornament. But now that you know the way, you can't be careless. Otherwise, I regret it a little, but my heart really hurts to death.

Next, he clapped his hands, and as soon as Zhou Nan finished processing everything, a transmission note flew into the secret room. After a few turns, it fell into his hands. With just a slight sweep of the divine thought, Zhou Nan got up and walked outside the house.

Not long after, in the room on the second floor, he looked at Qi Lao, who looked impatient. After Zhou Nan paused, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked so lightly, "Qi Daoyou, seeing you like this, are you ready to go!"

"Hehe, Zhou Nan guessed accurately. Yes, after half a year of preparation, it is winter again, and the high temperature of the burning sand sea has been somewhat suppressed. Now, it's the perfect time to enter the sea of sand. The old man plans to leave tomorrow, I wonder how Daoyou is preparing?" Qi Lao nodded. His expression was a little excited, and his voice was a little trembling.

"I see. It's ready in the morning. I don't understand the route or anything, so I bother Qi Daoyou to worry about it. Tomorrow when we leave. All it takes is a notice. Nodding, Zhou Nan said goodbye and left.

The next day, Zhou Nan didn't do anything, specially purchased a large amount of food, and filled dozens of storage bags before he stopped a little unwillingly.

I don't know how long it will be delayed to burn the sand sea, these things are indispensable and urgently needed. More you can. Be prepared. But if you don't, the consequences will be fun!

As for the healing pills, insect repellent pills, Bigu pills, and anti-fire and anti-heat pills that are necessary for survival in the wild, Zhou Nan didn't need to prepare them at all. After killing so many people and seizing so many things, these materials have already piled up in his storage bag. Even if you go around ten round trips in the desert, it's completely enough.

After purchasing things early, Zhou Nan returned to the room. Lisuo took a comfortable hot bath and went to bed early. He knew it. There will be no peace for a long time to come. It's either dancing with death, or running on the tip of a knife. It was one of the last nights. Zhou Nan cherishes it very much, and it will not be wasted.

Nothing was said all night. Time is in Zhou Nan's deep sleep. Rapid flow goes.

This night, the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted, and it snowed again in Shacheng, which was even heavier than the previous time. Early in the morning, Zhou Nan was directly woken up. Looking at the snow that had not completely disappeared, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Nan's face.

"After waiting for more than half a year, are you finally going to go? I hope this trip can be very fruitful, otherwise it will be worth the loss. Opening the window and looking at the long line on the street below, Zhou Nan muttered.

After moving some of his body, getting dressed, and bringing all his things, Zhou Nan opened the door and walked slowly downstairs. After eating something casually in the hall on the first floor and filling his stomach, he walked out of the inn decisively.

When he came to the street, Qi Lao patted the head of a sand lizard and checked the equipment. Seeing Zhou Nan come out, he turned around and smiled at him. On an old face, there was an indissoluble excitement. After all, after waiting for so many years, the wish will come true again, even if it is an immortal cultivator with a high state of mind, but who can really maintain a normal mind?

Nodding his head, Zhou Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the team this time.

This time, it was not only him and Qi Lao who wanted to go into the desert. There is even an ancestor in the Dan period, who discovered a secret treasure, and has been busy for a year, forming an expedition team of hundreds of people, intending to lead the team into the depths of the Burning Sand Sea.

The members of the team are all composed of immortal cultivators, and all of them are cultivating during the foundation building period. These people basically account for one-third of Shacheng's strength. This all-out operation was the largest in more than a decade. They have only one purpose, that is, to drive deep into the desert, give the secret treasure to a pot, and make a good profit.

Qi Lao is a famous living map of the desert in this sand city, with very old qualifications, and has the experience of going deep into the burning sand sea many times. This time, I took the initiative to apply for the position of expedition guide, and it was easy to get the approval of the ancestor of the Yudan period.

Otherwise, with the strength of him and Zhou Nan alone, without the help of other strengths, it would be impossible to enter the depths of the Burning Sand Sea and reach the Tomb of the Evil King. This is not his self-deprecation and penchant for self-esteem, but an unquestionable fact.

The team prepared hundreds of domesticated sand lizards, which looked like magnified giant lizards, all of which were fourth-order demon beasts. Powerful, perfect for traveling in the desert. It couldn't be better to use it as a mount.

After glancing around, Zhou Nan was not idle, so he directly selected a strong sand lizard and jumped on its head at once. Although the sand lizard has been domesticated, it is also the existence of a fourth-order demon beast after all, and its strength is not inferior to that of an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, so how can it be willing to use it as a mount for strangers?

Therefore, Zhou Nangang jumped up. The sand lizard roared, 'soared', and stood up directly. Then he shook his huge head vigorously, grinning his teeth, and reluctantly wanted to throw Zhou Nan down.

Seeing this, Zhou Nan sneered, swung his body a few times, stabilized, and pressed down with his left foot. Suddenly, the terrifying power of 100,000 catties broke out instantly, and before the sand lizard could respond, it was trampled on the ground and kept wailing.

Looking at the sand lizard that was sticking out its tongue, its eyes were frightened, and it had already softened, ignoring the surprise of the others, Zhou Nan Dalu laughed and let go of his foot. It was a long time before the sand lizard shook off and struggled to get to its feet.

Half an hour later, a disciple of the Enlightenment Period hurriedly came over, muttered a few words to Qi Lao, and left quickly.

Nodding, Qi Lao turned his body with a deep groan, and shouted with a somewhat puzzled face, "Ancestor has something, he has already gone first, wait for me in front, let's hurry up." Everyone, listen to the order, go west, and go!"

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath. With a slap of the sand lizard under him, he carried the heavy luggage and walked forward quickly. In a short time, a group of hundreds of people pulled a long line and left Shacheng behind.

It didn't take long to walk, and after only half a quarter of an hour, the air around me became hot. After taking a few deep breaths, Zhou Nan turned around, glanced at Shacheng lightly, and clenched his fists.

The team marched very quickly, and after an hour, it had traveled two or three hundred miles and entered the range of the Burning Sand Sea. These people are all seasoned hunters, and all of them are very experienced. Therefore, as soon as he entered the sea of sand, his eyes widened, and the thief kept scanning, with a cautious face, not even letting go of a fly.

Seeing this, Zhou Nan nodded with satisfaction, followed behind Qi Lao, and walked to the front of the team. Half a year ago, Zhou Nan also personally entered the Burning Sand Sea many times. Although there was danger in the outermost hundreds of miles, he didn't care about it. Therefore, when others are cautious, he squints his eyes and is very casual.

The scenery of the Burning Sand Sea is beautiful, but it is brutal. It's always red, like the Xuanhuo Mountain Range. If you look at it occasionally, it feels very fantastical, and it has a unique taste. But if you stay for a long time, people who are not strong-minded will feel bored. After all, red is beautiful, but there is only one color, so how can you look at it for a long time?

Most of the immortal cultivators who accompanied the team were cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building, except for more than a dozen monks in the late stage of foundation building, there were only two or three immortal cultivators who built the foundation of the Great Perfection. Although there are not many high-end combat power, under the huge number of people, it can be regarded as a very powerful force, which should not be underestimated.

The monks who accompanied the team, one by one, had at least four or five storage bags tied around their waists, bulging and full of things. And some materials that were too large were directly tied to the back of the sand lizard with ropes. Although these things are heavy, they are nothing to the sand lizards with rough skin and thick flesh and huge strength.

The creatures in the sand are very cunning. Except for a few stupid idiots, looking at Zhou Nan and their huge lineup, the other guys, how far and how far they ran. For fear that if you are not careful, you will be hacked to death by the sword. Therefore, in the first 1200 miles, everyone walked very safely, and basically did not encounter any danger.

At first, many of the monks were cautious and serious. But after looking at the sand beasts that rushed up, after being cut into pulp by the random knife, he let out a long breath, let go of his nervousness, and laughed and talked.

After all, people always have a dependency mentality, and they can't help but think that a place with a lot of people is safe. Even for immortal cultivators, this instinct cannot be erased. Although these people were all veterans, with so many immortal cultivators acting together, they obviously hadn't experienced it.

Therefore, in a different atmosphere, their principles were easily shaken. One by one, they became careless after a while. Seeing this, Zhou Nan's heart suddenly had a bad premonition. It always feels like something is in danger, and it's very boring. (To be continued......)
