Hearing this, everyone focused their attention on Lingling.

Although they encountered many monsters along the way, and went through many hardships, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, as well as tribal disputes, everyone in the Xuandu Hunter Group knew.

What they are going through now is already considered easy.

Where is Taklimakan?

Land of death.

However, they had been here for so long, and apart from some being bruised and poisoned, no one had died.

The reason why Taklamakan was given so little face was because of Lingling's careful planning.

There are many demon tribes in the desert. We are lucky to have only just encountered a fight between two tribes.

Besides, this is just a fight between people. If there is a tribe that really wants to fight them with real weapons, then there is no way that everyone can get out in one piece.

At least most of the hunters were not arrogant enough to think they could survive in that situation.

"So what are you waiting for, keep moving forward."

As soon as Wen Du finished speaking, he saw Lingling shaking her head.

"We have time. In the dangerous desert, every bit of strength is a guarantee of survival. We just experienced a great battle. Let's rest for a while and adjust our condition."

"good!"

Although they adjusted their status, they did not set up camp on the spot. Less than a kilometer away was the battlefield of two demon tribes.

In this environment, can you meditate?! Can you close your eyes!?

After walking a few kilometers forward and making sure that everything was clear, the group began to rest.

Replenish energy, cultivate the spirit, and restore magic power.

Bai Mo did not need to recover his magic power. He took advantage of this time to quietly practice the Indian summoning secret method he learned in Nazca.

He took out the Liquid of Time, wrapped it in summoning magic power and sent it into the galaxy. At the same time, he moved his mind and found the soul connection of the summoning contract.

Continue to apply the power of the Liquid of Time to this connection, strengthen it, reinforce it, and after it is fattened up, cut it open.

After feeling it for a while and comparing it with the annotations and explanations of the secret method, Bai Mo felt that this level should be about right, so he immediately raised his sword and gathered his mental power, splitting the contract into two parts.

"hiss!!"

Operating a knife on your own soul is not a pleasant process. The momentary pain made Bai Mo feel that he might die.

He hurriedly absorbed the remaining Time Liquid, allowing it to nourish the connection of the summoning contract, while also isolating the two that were suddenly separated.

It's like cutting an earthworm in half and then having them grow into two earthworms.

But that one was cut horizontally, while mine was cut vertically.

After the connection between the two souls was established, Bai Mo slowly opened his eyes, but his expression was stunned.

It’s getting dark!

That's not right. Logically speaking, to practice this secret method that touches the soul, one would need to spend thousands of years with the mind, but in reality, it only takes a moment.

It's not like I was daydreaming in class or having random thoughts, and the get out of class was over just as I came back to my senses.

“I meditated for a long time?”

Frowning, Bai Mo turned to look at Ding Yumian who was looking at him.

"Half a quarter of an hour."

"Half a quarter of an hour, why do I feel like it's getting a little dark?!"

"It's dark?" Ding Yumian was startled. She had just gone to see her boyfriend and didn't notice it.

Hearing this, I looked up and saw that there was an extra layer of dust in the sky, making it gray, but not yet dark.

Bai Mo also realized something was wrong at this moment, because only one side of the sky was black, and the sun was still high in the sky.

"Look west!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to find Lingling and shouted to wake her up from the computer world.

As soon as she looked up, Lingling's face became solemn. Without Bai Mo saying anything, she had already seen the darkness.

While quickly putting away her things, Lingling shouted:

"It's the sandstorm, the high-altitude sandstorm. It's what created the Taklimakan Desert. It's what's causing the desert's eastward expansion. Bai Mo, our real trouble is here!"

Lingling's words immediately awakened most of the people who were meditating or resting their eyes, and also gave answers to those who were also wondering about the inexplicable darkness in the western sky.

"High-sky sandstorm?!"

Wu Xuan approached and asked curiously about this term. He had also done some research but had never heard of it.

"The high-altitude sandstorm is an extremely severe weather phenomenon in the Taklimakan Desert. Legend has it that it can blow up the entire desert. The desertification in western my country is closely related to this."

Looking at the sky, Lingling answered everyone, "This is the information I got from my grandfather. High-sky sandstorms are very dangerous. They are equivalent to a mixed magic attack of wind and earth."

"It's so strong, this wind can't even lift the ground. Let's hide in the sand."

"No, the high-altitude sandstorms not only blow away the sand, but also drop the sand. You can say that the entire desert movement depends on it."

Hearing this, Lingling shook her head decisively, "If we go underground, we can only leave it to fate and pray that what falls on our heads is not a huge mountain of sand, but a thin layer of dust. Otherwise, we will be crushed to death in there."

"Moreover, most of the demons in the desert hide in the ground. Many creatures on the ground will choose to hide in the sand when a sandstorm comes. Therefore, the sandstorm is the ringing sound before their meal."

When everyone heard this, they all shuddered. Being underground, even a local mage would have difficulty moving, so how could they deal with the demons?

That means packing yourself up and sending yourself to the other person's table.

"What should we do then?"

Bai Mo asked, looking at the darkness in the western sky that was gradually spreading from one side to half of the sky. He could even feel the wind around him becoming more and more violent.

If such a wind belonged to him, he would naturally be overjoyed, but when he had to face a wind with such great power, he was also unwilling.

“Face it!”

"???" Bai Mo was full of question marks, "You might be the worm in my stomach."

"In the face of it, shouldn't we hide?"

Wu Xuandao, who was listening, said that human power was too insignificant in the face of heaven's might. He did not expect that the first thing the little girl wanted to do was to fight back.

"This is a desert, we have nowhere to hide."

Lingling's words made Wu Xuan speechless. Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Lingling said:

"The high-level wizard's defense can hold off the high-sky sandstorm for a while, so don't worry."

"But the sandstorm covers a large area. If we just stand there, we won't be able to hold on for long, so we need to cross the sandstorm."

Wen Du never expected that Lingling, a junior high school student, would have such courage.

In the face of this kind of natural disaster, not only did he calmly come up with countermeasures, he also wanted to survive the disaster.

Wen Du looked at his team members and smiled. As the team leader, he knew that some difficulties and situations could not be overcome by taking shortcuts.

Just like some sports, people feel that as soon as you get in, you're done. If you don't have the strength, you don't have the strength. You'll be exposed as soon as you try.

The same is true for this high-altitude sandstorm. When you see such a disaster, there is nowhere to hide. You can only face it and use your strength to get through it.

"There are four defense mages in the team, two high-level level one, and two high-level level three."

Having made the decision, Wu Xuan reported the situation of the defensive mage in the team.

He had no knowledge of the high-altitude sandstorm, so the meaning of his words was particularly obvious.

"How about it, little commander? The sandstorm is coming. What should we do?"

Lingling was neither shy nor polite, and immediately said, "Including my sister Leng Qing and Bai Mo, there are six defense mages now."

"There won't be any monsters in the sandstorm. What we need to guard against is the violent sandstorm. The impact and destructive power of the outer layer of the sandstorm are the strongest, so I won't take the initiative to enter. We will wait for it to envelop us."

As she spoke, Lingling looked at Leng Qing and said, "Sister, please use your magic to protect us first. When the sandstorm comes and your protection can no longer stop it, we can go out."

"good!"

Leng Qing responded, and an exquisite and gorgeous dark yellow token instantly appeared in his hand.

Seeing the token, Bai Mo also watched it curiously. He was also very curious about something that could create the Star Palace with Just One Thought. It was also the first time he saw Qing Qing perform it up close.

"Earth's Protection!"

I saw a flash of dark yellow light in Leng Qing's eyes, and then the token in his hand flipped, and a big word "protect" floated into the air, and a heavy aura pressed down in an instant.

The word "protect" disappeared in the area, and the surrounding sand immediately condensed together, forming layers and piles of fortresses, which protected everyone firmly.

The dark yellow fortress carries with it a vast and distant aura, as if it had grown naturally out of the sand, with firm roots.

Being in this fortress, a great sense of security arises naturally.

The fortress is completely sealed, and no one can see the outside. However, when it is attacked, everyone can hear the noise.

"When we get out, the Light Mage will be responsible for defense, the Earth Mage will assist, and Bai Mo, you will act according to the situation."

The moment Lingling made the arrangements, everyone's expressions froze. They saw the walls of the entire fortress shaking, and the rumbling sound made everyone feel as if they were in a thundercloud.

The trembling walls were like the uneasy hearts of the people at the moment, but fortunately, the heaviness was only for a moment, and the impact noise and trembling became smaller afterwards.

"Sister, how long can the protection of the earth barrier last?"

"The power of the sandstorm outside is about the level of a mid-level wizard with a spirit seed, but it is continuous, so this is a mid-level wizard army."

Leng Qing closed his eyes and conveyed the information through the connection between the mage and magic.

"With the power of my Earthly Protection, it can only last for five minutes at most."

"Yes!" Lingling nodded heavily and looked at the defense mage in the team, "Everyone estimate the time and prepare magic. Bai Mo, use the Mountain Spirit Blessing to prevent any accidents."

"Lingling is becoming more and more stylish."

Seeing Lingling's commanding look, Bai Mo couldn't help but laugh while releasing the mountain spirit's blessing.

"Hmph~, follow my instructions."

"Okay, okay."

The dark golden light spread, establishing a connection with the land beneath their feet, and then cast a dark golden soul light on everyone.

This is a desert. There are no mountains here, only sand dunes and plains. Therefore, the soul light covered by the mountain soul blessing summoning this time is much thinner than last time.

However, it was the first time for everyone to see this earth magic that could transform into flowing light, and the heavy aura could give them a sense of security.

Lingling knew about Bai Mo's magic skills and knew him very well. When she heard about this magic, she felt it was very powerful.

Now that I see it for the first time, I feel it is magical, nothing else.

Five minutes passed in a flash, and there was no need for everyone to go out. With the appearance of the first crack in the ground barrier, the thousand-mile dam was destroyed by an ant hole.

More cracks appeared in the next few seconds. Sand rushed in and hit the mountain spirit protection on everyone's body. The sound of knives and axes could be heard.

You can see the power of the sandstorm outside.

"The protection of the earth is about to break."

Almost at the moment Leng Qing finished speaking, the originally thick wall shattered with a loud bang. The broken stones did not fall on the crowd, but were instead carried high into the sky by the strong wind.

"The light falls all over the place!"

It was at this moment that the defensive mage in the team built the last star track and cast high-level magic.

Bands of light danced, surrounding everyone and blocking the sandstorm.

"Let's go! Don't use magic. Moving quickly will intensify the impact of the sandstorm." Lingling reminded.

Everyone stepped forward. At this moment, it was dark all around. The strong wind replaced the sky with sand, blocking the sun, leaving only endless darkness without a single ray of light.

Relying on the lighting effect of the light falling all over the place, Bai Mo and his companions walked in front with big strides.

Fortunately, they were facing west in the protection of the earth turret. Otherwise, even if they had made a good plan, they would not be able to tell the direction when they came out at this moment, facing the darkness and sand that covered their eyes and filled the whole world.

Moving forward, the light of the light mage did not last for even a minute before it broke.

Such a fast speed shocked several teammates nearby, as his light magic had not yet been connected.

Beside him, two mages assisting in the defense immediately cast a rock barrier, but it suddenly shattered, and they could only watch helplessly as the wind and sand fell.

Puff puff puff!!

There were dull sounds. Surprisingly, the soul light summoned by Bai Mo was not shattered. It remained strong. The soul light was shaking and thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it kept the sandstorm out firmly. This gave another light mage enough time to cast magic.

"The light falls all over the place!"

The light mage's defensive magic appeared in time, replacing the soul light to surround everyone.

We were not skilled the first time, but now we have a clear sense of the power of the sandstorm, and we can handle it with ease when we work together.

But the two light mages are only at a high level, and high-level magic is already a powerful move.

If a mage uses his ultimate skill frequently, there is only one result, which is that his magic energy will be exhausted.

"Lingling, we are running out of magic power!"

A beam of light could only last for half a minute, so the star's brilliance never stopped along the way.

After only walking 500 meters, the two light mages were already signaling that their magic power was running out. (End of this chapter)
