While everyone was busy, Bai Mo had some free time, so he took the opportunity to do some retreat and broke through the Chaos System to the advanced third level.
Perhaps it was because he came to the northwest desert, the rich earth element helped Daju, and directly allowed him to reach the advanced commander level.
Seeing this, Bai Mo took out the Star Fruit Stone that he had been saving and gave it to him to eat, hoping that he could digest it quickly and reach the monarch level.
The training and breakthrough of demons or summoned beasts are not like those of human mages. As long as they have reached a certain level of cultivation, they can break through the bottleneck with the help of natural treasures.
The breakthrough of a demon is to reach the next level in terms of attack, defense, speed, strength, physique, and even soul and bloodline.
Only in this way can one be considered to have made a breakthrough and become a commander or monarch.
The advanced stage is the time when the demons begin to accumulate strength for a sprint. At this moment, some or all aspects of their strength begin to break away from the values of their current class and move towards a higher level.
What the Star Sea Fruit Stone can do to help the Divine Dust Tiger is to provide him with tremendous energy and shorten his accumulation time.
For the Divine Dust Tiger, he only needs to stimulate the power at the level of beast soul and beast blood; other aspects are important.
Some monsters that have only reached the next level in some or one item are often labeled as "Ya".
This is why sub-commanders and sub-monarchs exist.
Bai Mo didn't know how long he would have to wait, but he knew he was quite busy.
After doing this, if he still can't find the totem location of Yi Ling, he will let Feng Ling capture Tian Feng in Sha Yuan, and then look for resources to help Jiao Yue ascend.
Diana has not encountered any elemental calamity yet. I wonder if it is because she became an elemental holy spirit later in life.
However, helping her advance is something that needs to be done in the near future. The power of higher levels can no longer help him.
Even if he didn't have any ideas, Jiaoyue herself was unhappy.
"You are the one who tricked my daughter into giving me my magic weapon?!"
In the orderly reception room, members of the Fire Source Project arrived one after another. A burly man with starry eyes and sharp eyebrows came over under the leadership of Nan Jue. Without waiting for Nan Jue to speak, he stared at Bai Mo and said.
"Uncle, you misunderstood, I didn't"
"If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be for you that my good daughter could shake out her daddy's crotch?"
Seeing that the man was about to take action, Bai Mo could only look at Nan Jue helplessly.
“Dad, if you don’t want me to, I’ll take you back.” Nan Jue immediately pulled him away, regretting agreeing to let him come.
"Why not? It's such a big plan, how can I do it without you?"
Nan Yao became serious and spoke in fluent Mandarin, then threw a bracelet to Bai Mo.
"This is a magic weapon that can be used for two purposes at once. Please use it wisely. I'm not giving it to you as a gift. Remember to return it to me when you're done with your plan."
After saying that, he touched his chin, looked at Bai Mo twice, and shook his head.
"You look three times as handsome as I did back then. I'm lending it to you because I like you. Don't think too much about it!"
"Thank you uncle, I will definitely return the original item to you when the time comes." Bai Mo nodded slightly and said without changing his expression.
Now that everyone was present, Chief of Staff Shao began to talk about the arrangements for the operation.
In fact, there is no specific arrangement. It is just to pass through the blockade of the Dust Storm Grasshoppers and reach the Holy Mountain of Fire Element.
It was nothing more than some pre-war mobilization, and then introducing the security personnel of this trip to a group of researchers and Bai Mo.
One is Chief of Staff Shao himself, a super-level third-class mage who specializes in thunder, and the other is Nan Yao, the commander-in-chief of the Jade Dragon Army, who is actually stronger than Chief of Staff Shao.
The other one is a military commander, who is on par with Chief of Staff Shao.
There are eleven people in the team, and except for the researchers, all the combatants are super-class.
Including Bai Mo, there are a total of four super levels.
After the mobilization, the group set off immediately, following yesterday's route and diving into the dust storm grasshopper.
Most of the Duststorm Grasshoppers are at the level of generals, and it is rare to see commanders. The only thing that makes them difficult to deal with is their number.
Bai Mo's four fighters were divided into groups of two and were responsible for the safety of the nine researchers.
When you reach a point where you can no longer see the Qilian Mountains, you have officially entered the Taklamakan Desert.
The buzzing sound suddenly became more intense, and countless dust storm grasshoppers almost blocked out the light of the sky. Everyone seemed to be walking in a dark place.
The ones responsible for protecting everyone at the moment are Bai Mo and Nan Yao. Unlike Nan Jue, he is a reckless man.
During this journey, Bai Mo only did two things——
Just release a high-level magic to eliminate a wave of dust storm grasshoppers; pull back Nan Yao who was going crazy and got into the group of dust storm grasshoppers.
"Hey, Bai boy, don't worry about me. I can come back. If you don't believe me, ask Shao Qin."
“Uncle, if anything happens to you, I’m afraid Nanjue will cause trouble for me.”
"You still say you have no thoughts about my daughter?!"
Bai Mo was too lazy to pay attention to this question. The magic light in his hand switched between thunder, earth and wind. He killed monsters with one hand and collected souls with the other.
At the same time, he kept looking at his own galaxies. Very good, the wind system was about to be fed by the general-level stars.
Anyway, when it comes to strengthening the bloodline level of summoned beasts, he never has too much.
A high-level bloodline is like a dedicated highway that leads directly to the destination.
Whether you can reach the destination is your own problem. What it can provide is that you can reach the destination without any setbacks along the way.
There is no need to stop, no need to change, and no need to worry about the car breaking down suddenly or the road conditions being problematic after the change.
After walking for a while, he had some free time and began to think about feeding a group of commander-level spirits.
Considering Daju's advanced state, he took out seven commander-level essences that he had accumulated during this period of time and fed them to the star of the Earth Element Galaxy.
In addition, take out eight more commander-level beast souls to activate and summon the beast tide, making up the number of the Twelve Guardians.
In this way, the remaining commander-level spirit essence can just maintain the star sea level training bonus effect.
"Do you feel that the number of dust storm grasshoppers is increasing? Are we going in the wrong direction?" Staff Officer Shao suddenly spoke.
"Report, no, the positioning equipment shows that we are heading in the direction of the Holy Mountain of Fire Element." A researcher said immediately.
"The direction is correct, but I also feel that the dust storm grasshoppers are more dense. Previously, one high-level magic spell could basically kill most of the attacking monsters. Now it takes two high-level magic spells." Another super-level military commander said
Hearing this, Bai Mo's heart moved, and he said, "I'll use the sound system to detect it."
He stretched out his hand, and a small and exquisite bell appeared in his hand. Holding the five-tone bell, Bai Mo concentrated all his mental strength and shook it vigorously.
“Ding—ding—ding—ding—!”
The sound of bells rang out, and the five-tone horn sound spread to all directions of heaven and earth. The detection sound waves passed through layer after layer of dust storm grasshoppers, detecting each and every dust storm grasshopper clearly.
As the sound waves spread out and continued to extend outward, the distribution and movement map of the dust storm grasshoppers within a radius of twenty kilometers slowly appeared in Bai Mo's mind.
"Staff Officer Shao's perception is correct. The dust storm grasshoppers within a kilometer around us are becoming denser, and more dust storm grasshoppers are coming this way continuously."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions tensed up. Staff Officer Shao said, "Don't panic. We can still hold on to this level of density. As long as there is no problem with your sound system, Bai Mo, we will be fine."
"Since this density has reached one thousand meters, it is obviously the maximum density that the Dust Storm Grasshopper can maintain. Let's keep going."
Facing the dust storm grasshoppers that were as dense as thick clouds, Staff Officer Shao calmly encouraged the morale of everyone.
As a military mage who had been fighting against this group of insects for a long time, she knew deeply that as long as the military mage could defend against the sonic power of these dust storm grasshoppers, these monsters themselves would not pose any threat to them.
In fact, based on the drop conditions of these Duststorm Grasshopper Essences, Bai Mo could also judge that they were not elite monsters, and their level was only slightly higher than that of the Lingclaw Plague Rats.
The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. The law of nature is always fair. If some aspects are prominent, some aspects will be defective.
The group has already lit up the lights so that they can move forward among the huge number of dust storm grasshoppers. Bai Mo believes that Nan Yao, who is responsible for clearing the way, is inefficient, so he takes the initiative to take on the job of clearing the way and guarding, while the three people including Staff Officer Shao are responsible for guarding the rear.
After his strength entered the super level and increased step by step, and after Jingwei and Kongxin Yangliu became supreme monarchs, Bai Mo no longer minded fully displaying some of his talents.
For example, this seemingly endless magical power.
Anyway, Chief of Staff Shao and others watched him maintain the space magic along the way. When his thoughts came down, a large number of dust storm grasshoppers died.
However, the three staff officers Shao had already become numb. It was ok that the space compression of others at a high level was even more powerful than that of the super level.
With the help of the doubling magic weapon in his hand, the number can be doubled.
This magical energy was like that blown by a strong wind, and high-level magic was released continuously.
Let alone them. The Dust Storm Devil Grasshopper was also a little bit annoyed. The human wave tactics that had always been effective didn't seem to work today.
Although the leader of the Dust Storm Grasshoppers didn't care how many he killed, Bai Mo didn't care either. The more he killed, the less he would lose.
But compared to his indifference, the leader of the Dust Storm Grasshopper, who had finally conquered this area and driven the humans out, still cared after all.
His people multiplied very quickly, so he didn't feel sad no matter how many died. But if he really allowed these humans to climb the Holy Mountain of Fire Element, wouldn't the situation he had painstakingly created be destroyed?
The leader of the Dust Storm Grasshoppers certainly knew the destination of these humans. It had acquired wisdom far beyond that of its peers and had a stronger body than its peers. Although it had no reproductive ability, every Dust Storm Grasshopper was its child.
He hopes that his children's home will be vast and beautiful!
Flying above this team of human mages, the leader of the dust storm grasshoppers vibrated his wings, and the sound waves transmitted the situation below to it, but he felt powerless in his heart.
The pair of eyes, which were brighter than those of its own kind, stared downwards, as if it could see the human being who was ruthlessly slaughtering its own kind.
The strength of the Dust Storm Grasshopper leader is actually not that great, which is a natural flaw of the Dust Storm Grasshopper, but fortunately he has some wisdom.
It flew high in the sky, looking at the vast golden sand lake. It was like a piece of bright amber, inlaid in the eastern part of the Tarim Basin.
A group of yellow dragon-like dust storm grasshoppers headed in that direction, trying to touch this treasure of Tarim.
It was hard to tell whether the buzzing sound was the fluttering of the Dust Storm Grasshopper's wings or the fluctuations caused by Bai Mo's space magic.
They had now walked half the distance and arrived at the wide and winding Shaqu River.
The Sand River looks like a giant dragon, with the highest drop between the river bottom and the river surface being 100 meters, and the shortest width being one or two kilometers, more like a huge sand valley. The golden gravel stretches from this section of the river to the horizon.
"The Shaqu River ahead has an inexplicable gravity. It is also the original base of the Dust Storm Grasshopper. However, even the Dust Storm Grasshopper will be sucked into the river if it approaches it. We will build a small position here and establish a safety barrier. Everyone rest on the spot by the river." said Staff Officer Shao.
At this point, everyone had been walking for a day, covering half the distance in a day, which could be considered a forced march. This was even after Bai Mo took the initiative to take on the responsibility of clearing the way.
Not to mention the nine researchers ranging from mid-level to high-level, even their four super-level mages felt a little tired.
It is not difficult to build a shelter in the wild, but the difficult part is to protect against the dust storm grasshoppers. Fortunately, they prepared enough Yuan Crystals in advance.
"The Holy Mountain of Fire Element is just downstream of the Shaqu River, about fifty kilometers away. After we have repaired, we will cross the river tomorrow and head to the Holy Mountain of Fire Element."
As Staff Officer Shao spoke, he used earth magic to solidify the ground so that the researchers could set up camp.
"Since the Holy Mountain of Fire Element is on the other side, why don't we go there first and rest?" Nan Yao asked.
Staff Officer Shao took a look at him and knew that he had been conducting surveys in the Turpan area before and didn't know much about the situation here, so he explained:
"The gravity of the Shaqu River is very similar to the gravity corridor in the Taklimakan Desert, and even more dangerous. Some people speculate that the gravity corridor should originate from here. In the Shaqu River, all we can do is run as fast as we can to avoid getting trapped."
"Look at their current state. They are out of breath even when walking. I'm afraid they can't run very fast if they run at full speed in the gravity-enhanced sand river. We need to protect everyone's safety. They are the main force in collecting fire sources."
After saying that, she glanced at Bai Mo and felt a little sorry.
The sound system's silent area cannot be transferred along with the instant movement, so if they rely on Bai Mo's instant movement to move, they will undoubtedly be surrounded by dense dust storm grasshoppers the moment they exit the space.
Fighting those monsters in close combat is like delivering a package. Not to mention a large group of them.
Otherwise, she would like to seek some simple methods, since there are enough Bai Mo magic energies anyway.
The camp was built quickly, with a protective shield similar to the one in the Tong'an Realm, so everyone didn't have to worry about attacks from dust storm grasshoppers.
The four super-class mages took turns to be on duty at night, and also took turns to meditate to restore their magic power.
The moonlight was like water, and the vastness of the world made the jade plate seem small. At some point, the dust storm grasshoppers that were originally attacking violently around it also calmed down.
It seemed that all the dust storm grasshoppers along the entire Shaqu River had fallen asleep in the moonlight.
But Bai Mo didn't think so. He didn't need to recover his magic power and he was always in a state of light meditation.
Every once in a while, he would use sound waves to detect the surrounding situation and update the distribution and movement map of the dust storm grasshoppers in his mind in real time.
"Something is coming, it's not the Dust Devil Grasshopper."
He whispered softly, awakening Nan Yao and another super-class military commander who were meditating.
"What is it?" asked Staff Officer Shao who was on duty with him.
With Bai Mo's palm, thousands of grains of sand formed a sand table. On the sand table there was a river, representing the Shaqu River.
There was a little man on one side of the river, which was them. On the other side was a high wall. To the northeast of the little man, a large area of gravel was surging like flowing water.
"I don't know what they are, but judging by their heartbeats, they are basically warlords. They are coming from the northeast, and there are about three thousand of them."
After saying that, he pointed to the high wall on the other side of the Shaqu River and said, "The Dust Storm Grasshoppers have all run over here. Behind the Dust Storm Grasshoppers, there is a group of demons approaching. It seems that the demons approaching from both sides are all attracted by the Dust Storm Grasshoppers."
"Northeast?!" Staff Officer Shao understood the situation with just a glance. She pointed her finger and a huge sand lake appeared in the northeast of the Shaqu River, almost separating the entire Tarim Basin from south to north.
"It's the demon from Lop Nur. It should be the work of the leader of the Dust Storm Grasshopper. That cunning guy doesn't want us to get the source of fire." Staff Officer Shao sneered.
The leader of the Dust Storm Grasshoppers is quite cunning. When he was planning the evolution of his race, he was secretly making plans while on the one hand he was fighting with the military magician to attract attention.
On the other hand, he secretly organized his people to join the Holy Mountain of Fire Element.
Use your life to evolve a path that is not afraid of fire.
After succeeding, they quickly occupied and surrounded this precious land, leaving the military magician no chance of a comeback.
After seeing their strength, they immediately lured the demons in the dangerous area of Lop Nur out to besiege them.
A group of people that can live in a dangerous place like Lop Nur cannot be weak.
If they were really just a team led by an ordinary super-class wizard, they would probably be in a panic for a while if they encountered a night attack by these monsters.
Unfortunately, they encountered Bai Mo. A sneak attack or blitzkrieg did not exist.
If it was just one demon, it would be okay, but for a group of demons, it would be difficult to ignore them.
"What should we do now?" asked the super-class military commander.
"wait!"
Staff Officer Shao uttered a word calmly and then began to explain.
"Wait for the group approaching to arrive and see what their strength is. It would be best if we don't cross the river now."
It was pitch black at the moment. Strictly speaking, you couldn't see the sky because it was full of dust storm grasshoppers and the moonlight couldn't penetrate.
It was dark all around, and it was difficult for them to choose a relatively narrow place to cross the Shaqu River.
On the other hand, the dark environment was not conducive to their full running. In case of an accident, if someone got stuck in the river sand and dust, it would be difficult to rescue them.
In short, it is very passive. As I said before, be steady!
Staff Officer Shao was unwilling to take any more risks. In her opinion, dealing with a group of visible demons was much easier than facing the unpredictable Shaqu River in the dark.
After all, they have four super-class mages, and every researcher here is important now.
The rumbling sound came from far away and got closer, like an army coming with thousands of horses galloping.
As the sound approached, the entire bank of the Shaqu River seemed to shake, as if a rock dragon was tumbling under the deep sand!
Dozens of lights were thrown far away by Nan Yao.
A large stretch of continuous golden light fell, finally illuminating the approaching demons.
Zircon-like silver-gray armor supported their bodies, which were twice larger than a double-decker bus. Their four short legs were like iron pillars on the ground, and their slender tails swayed behind them like dancing silver pythons. Their eyes were full of anger and cruelty, and their mouths were open like the opening and closing of an excavator.
"It's the Haojie Demon Rat. It's a demon that lives outside Lop Nur. It's brutal by nature. Like the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper, it eats everything. If there's no food, it will even eat its own kind."
Nan Yao's eyes narrowed. He once led the Yulong Army into Lop Nur to investigate the situation, so he was very familiar with the monsters in Lop Nur.
"This Haojie Demon Rat hates noise, so when it comes to the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper, it can be said that they are enemies and are extremely jealous of each other. This is also the reason why the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper did not expand northward. No wonder they were lured out."
When fighting against monsters, the most important thing is intelligence. If there is enough intelligence, it will be a piece of cake. If there is not enough intelligence, it will be like a feast.
Nan Yao's intelligence is undoubtedly very important to the Haojie demon rats that are rumbling towards them like a cluster of armored battle formations.
“This kind of demon is between the strength of a great general and a great commander, and its defense is very strong, so the dust storm grasshopper cannot bite it.
At the same time, a special energy ray attack will burst out from their pickaxes, appearing silver-gray, and the effect is similar to our high-level earth magic Rock Demon's Eye.
Once hit, the body will turn into zircon, which is faster than normal petrification and more difficult to remove. "
"Got to be careful not to get hit by these zircon rays!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Almost at the moment when Nan Yao finished speaking, the Haojie demon rats, which had already approached within a mile, suddenly lit up with their bodies, which had originally reflected the brilliant light.
It was as if a Karma demon's eye had lit up on their zircon bodies. The pupils opened and closed, and immediately a ray as thick as a bucket flew out.
Numerous silver-gray rays lit up, like an attack launched by a future sci-fi military position. There was no sound, but it was extremely dangerous!
"Yutian Ling!"
Naturally, they couldn't let these attacks fall on the barrier of their position, as it would increase the consumption greatly.
Nan Yao raised his hand and a golden silk thread like a long river rose into the sky. The silk thread emitted a gorgeous but not dazzling golden light, as if it had spirituality. It formed a loop and surrounded them like a city wall.
Numerous rays hit the golden silk, leaving behind a large piece of silver-gray, but failed to break through the defense.
At this moment, the sharp light in the military commander's eyes faded away, and he spoke concisely,
"According to the observation of the Sky-Surveying Pupil, there are a total of 3,545 demons. Among them, there are 55 commander-level demons, scattered throughout the demon battle formation."
Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Bai Mo remained calm and said:
"I can handle two thousand." (End of this chapter)
