The scorching sun scorched the sandy ground. Sang Jin felt sweat dripping down her back with every step. She repeatedly practiced her Ice Spirit Root technique, adjusting her body temperature to a comfortable level, and finally felt much more comfortable.
She glanced at Li Jingyu and Gu Qingcheng again. Neither of them showed any sign of abnormality.
"Shua shua shua..." is the sound of sandworms appearing.
Sang Jin was very familiar with this voice. She had encountered it when she first came out of the Yuanhu Secret Realm.
"Watch your step. This bug can eat people." Sang Jin reminded Li Jingyu and the others.
I don’t know where they came from, but it’s better to remind them.
These sandworms weren't very powerful, so Sang Jin and the others could easily kill them in seconds. However, the sandworms kept coming in increasing numbers. Sang Jin and Gu Qingcheng were tired from fighting, so they glanced at Li Jingyu, who was being protected behind them.
Li Jingyu immediately built a protective barrier, preventing the sandworms from getting close to the three of them. It must be said that Li Jingyu's skills were more suitable for supporting, while Sang Jin was better at attacking.
"This won't do, 爅爅. We'll be trapped here. There's nothing here, and once we finish drinking all the stored water, we'll die of thirst." Sang Jin didn't agree to just wait here.
But now there were just too many sandworms. They were crawling towards them from all directions, densely packed together. It was a sight that made their scalps tingle.
"Let's take a break and adjust our condition first, and then fight our way out." Sang Jin sat on the ground.
Li Jingyu quickly pulled out a thin blanket from his space ring and spread it on the ground. He motioned for Sang Jin to sit on it. He then thoughtfully gave her a water bag.
"Junior Master, I'm thirsty too." Gu Qingcheng stretched out his hand to Li Jingyu with a wicked smile.
Li Jingyu slapped his hand away: "Drink from your own water bag."
After Sang Jin had a good rest in the barrier, she dragged Gu Qingcheng out to kill the insects.
"Hey, little Sang Jin, how about we compete to see who kills the most?" Gu Qingcheng was very bored. He found killing insects fun.
"I say, do you still have any shame? I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage, how can I compare with you? You don't even know what realm you are in, old man." Sang Jin retorted angrily.
Not to mention that this guy is more handsome than a woman. He is also quite shameless. There is a saying that goes, "If you have no shame, you are invincible."
"How can I be shameless? My face is on you. You are my face." Gu Qingcheng said slickly.
Li Jingyu shook his head inside the barrier.
"I really don't know how you became the leader of Guangjing Sect." Li Jingyu had lived in Guangjing Sect for two years. He knew that Guangjing Sect's strength was no weaker than the four major sects currently ranked at the top of the Southern Wilderness Continent.
"Brother, that's based on strength!"
"You are an old man, and you have the nerve to call yourself brother in front of a ten-year-old child."
"Little Sang Jin, I'm sad if you think of me like this."
"Don't... stop! I have an older brother. My brother's name is Sang Yu. You've met him. He's only twelve years old."
“…”
Sang Jin and Gu Qingcheng were engaged in a verbal battle, but the Glazed Heart Fire in her hand hit the sandworm without missing a beat.
The number of sandworms she killed was no less than that killed by Gu Qingcheng.
If Hua Hedge were here, he would definitely say, "Wait, where's my insecticide?"
Li Jingxu slowly spread out the spiritual consciousness of a mid-Nascent Soul stage expert to explore the situation in the desert.
He sensed a steady stream of sandworms emerging from underground, and he followed the direction they were coming from.
They discovered a wall some distance away. There was a city there. They had no idea what was inside.
Li Jingyu wanted to go deeper into the city to take a look, but found that his spiritual sense was blocked outside by the barrier and could not enter.
"Let's go in that direction. There is a city over there. But I don't know what's in the city. But I saw these sandworms coming out from there." Li Jingyu pointed in a direction.
"Okay, let's move towards the direction that Old Man Gu over there said." Sang Jin turned and said to Gu Qingcheng.
"Little Sang Jin, how come he is Ruo Ruo and I am Old Man Gu? I don't look old. I am in the prime of my life." Gu Qingcheng grumbled dissatisfiedly.
"Are you leaving or not?" Sang Jin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he pulled Li Jingyu and moved towards the city.
She originally had insect repellent, but it had been left in the secret realm, and her spatial ring didn't have it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to expend so much Liuli Heart Fire to deal with these insects. Wasting fire is equivalent to wasting spiritual energy.
How could her small body at the Foundation Establishment stage have the spiritual energy stored by that old man Gu Qingcheng? She could only rely on the Qi-Replenishing Pills to replenish her spiritual energy in time.
"Hey, wait for me!" Gu Qingcheng hurriedly caught up with Sang Jin and the others.
Sang Jin and the other two walked towards the city while killing insects. It was really troublesome not being able to fly in this desert. How long would it take to get there on foot? They had already walked for two days.
"Xiao Jin, if you're tired, let's stop and rest." Li Jingyu also noticed Sang Jin's fatigue. He quickly raised his hand to arrange the formation.
"Uncle Master, I've finished all the water here. Do you have any more?" They had been walking for a long time, and he only had one water bag full. Who knew there was a desert to the west?
"I'm out of it too." Li Jingyu's lips were a little chapped. The desert was too hot. He had to drink water to relieve the heat.
When Sang Jin heard this, she took a sip of water from the bowl in her hand and put it in her mouth. She couldn't swallow it, nor could she spit it out. So she decided to swallow it.
These days, it was Xiuxiu and Gu Qingcheng who brought her water to drink, and she didn't notice that they were almost out of water.
"Don't panic, I still have water here." Immortal cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage can go without food, but they cannot go without water. Water is the foundation of human beings, and it is also the foundation of immortal cultivators.
Sang Jin used her spiritual sense to probe into her space ring. There were still several full tanks of water in it.
This water has been there for many years, it was the extra water stored during the famine. But it is still the same as when it was first put in.
She filled the water bag with water and handed it back to Li Jingyu and Gu Qingcheng.
"Tell me if you run out of water."
After resting, Sang Jin and the other two began to head towards the city again. According to Li Jingyu, they should be there soon. Only by destroying the source could the sandworm problem be completely resolved.
"It's here. There's a barrier." Li Jingyu said, pointing to a location.
But Sang Jin saw nothing but yellow sand. She used her spiritual sense to explore, carefully sensing the existence of the barrier.
She knew how to break the barrier, but her cultivation was not enough, and her own spiritual power was not enough to support her in breaking the barrier.
Just like the formation that broke the old dragon before. Sang Jin cast a look at Gu Qingcheng for help.
