Chapter 1256 Endless Desert
"I've been to this desert once before. The temperature difference between day and night is huge. In addition to being hot during the day, you also have to be careful of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the desert. The desert is even more dangerous at night. The sand will flow and has no fixed direction. Sometimes it will lead you to the abyss of death, and sometimes it will lead you to an oasis. It all depends on your luck."
Mo Shangchen stood at the edge of the desert and explained to the five people, his eyes vaguely sweeping across Lian Xiye and Lianyi's faces.
This is also the reason why he insisted on having the two of them join. Luck is a very elusive thing. Since he doesn't have it, he has to rely on others.
"Fellow Daoist Moshang, the cave of the Divine Transformation cultivator you mentioned is in the oasis?"
Du Yan asked.
"yes."
"Then we are just relying on luck."
Mu Sheng felt helpless. This was too unrealistic.
"I'm talking about when we're lucky. When we're neither too lucky nor too unlucky, we can still reach the oasis on foot. It just takes a long time, and we don't know what we'll encounter along the way, so the danger is higher."
Mo Shangchen explained.
"Let's go! Instead of relying on illusory luck, it's better to walk down to earth and treat it as an experience. Although this endless desert is dangerous, there are many good things in it."
As Ripples of Divine Awareness spread out, he spoke to several people.
"Fellow Daoist Elaine is right. Let's not waste time and set off as soon as possible. After the sun sets, we can take the flying boat."
Mo Shangchen also echoed.
Flying boats cannot be taken in the Endless Desert during the day, but they can be used as sand boats at night. The flowing sand will carry the flying boat forward, saving them time and energy.
Mo Shangchen was the first to step into the desert, Lianyi was the second, and Lian Xiye and a few others followed closely behind. Everyone's figures soon disappeared in the desert.
After walking for two hours, the temperature rose noticeably. Even those who had achieved great success in cultivation could feel the burning sensation. Duoduo had long been sent back to space by ripples. Although this environment had little effect on her, she still didn't like it.
Lianyi took out the water bag and drank a sip of the spiritual spring water as if pretending to be hot. After all, she was still far from her limit. But the friends around her said they were very hot, so she just followed the crowd and pretended to be hot. She just performed better than them, after all, her cultivation level was there.
Suddenly, Mo Shangchen, who was leading the way, stopped. He looked up at the sky, calculated for a moment, then turned to the others and said:
"A sandstorm is coming soon. We must find a place to hide, otherwise we will be easily dispersed."
As Mo Shangchen finished speaking, Lianyi's spiritual sense had already seen the rolling sand and dust coming from thousands of miles away, forming a wall of storm, and some desert monsters were also carried in the sandstorm.
"I just felt a cool breeze."
Du Yan took a deep breath and said.
"I feel that, too."
"What to do next? Hide?"
Ye Qing asked immediately.
"I have a magic weapon that should be able to accommodate several of us. Let's squeeze in and avoid the sandstorm first."
Lian Xiye immediately took out a square box from his storage ring, which was exactly what he had bought from the stall of a casual cultivator.
He took the sword skills in the interlayer of the box. This box can also hold living things, so it is just right to take it out and use it now.
Lian Xiye threw the box out, and it became the size of a carriage after landing. After the lid of the box was opened, he was the first to jump in, and the rest followed closely behind.
Mo Shangchen was the last one to enter. Before the lid closed, Du Yan exclaimed:
“Look!”
In a short period of time, the sandstorm had rolled towards them, and they could see it without having to release their spiritual sense.
"What's going on? This sandstorm can actually devour my spiritual consciousness?"
Mu Sheng said in disbelief.
Just now he extended his spiritual sense to see what was inside the sandstorm, but his spiritual sense was swallowed up.
"Oh no! This should be the sandstorm caused by the sandworms turning over! Close the lid quickly to prevent them from discovering us."
Mo Shangchen said immediately.
Lian Xiye immediately made a hand gesture and closed the lid, plunging the box into darkness. After a moment, Lian Yi took out a huge night-shining pearl, illuminating the entire space.
Everyone had a serious expression on their faces. After all, the sandworms in the endless desert were extremely terrifying.
This sandworm is not a small insect as thick as a thumb, but a huge soft-bodied insect with a length of at least 100 meters. It looks a bit like an earthworm and is the same color as the desert. It is very good at hiding itself and has thick skin. Swords and spells may not be able to penetrate its skin.
The most important thing is the inside of the sandworm, which contains thousands of sharp teeth, occupying half of its body. As long as you suck something into its mouthparts, you will be strangled by the sandworm's sharp teeth. Even if you are not strangled to death, after entering the sandworm's stomach, it will be corroded and dissolved by gastric acid, and will eventually become nutrients for the sandworm.
Also because of the existence of sandworms, the minimum cultivation level of cultivators entering the Endless Desert is the Golden Core Stage. Cultivators in the Golden Core Stage can only wander around the periphery of the Endless Desert, catch some unique monsters in the desert, and look for some unique minerals and spiritual herbs. If they want to go further in, they must at least reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
This is also the reason why Mo Shangchen was willing to provide a place with abundant spiritual energy and let Lianyi and the others come to the Endless Desert after they had all advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. If they were not strong enough and had no luck, it would be a pipe dream to want to reach the cave of the God Transformation cultivator.
The sandworms in the endless desert usually hide underground. They feed on a very rare gold sand ore under the desert. Human cultivators are also their coveted delicacies, so they will also attack cultivators.
This time, the spiritual sense they extended was discovered by the sandworms, so they came towards them.
Sure enough, after a while, everyone heard the sound of sand rubbing against the metal shell, which made people feel creepy. Then the box began to roll over. Fortunately, everyone was a Yuanying Zhenjun, so they were not thrown into each other's arms. They all used their spiritual power to stabilize their bodies.
This tumbling lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it stopped, but no one dared to be careless. Lian Xiye kept frowning and had no intention of opening the lid.
"Friend Lian, what's the situation outside now?"
"I don't know for now, but I feel the danger has not been resolved. It's best if we don't go out now."
Lian Xiye told the truth that after entering the endless desert, he had a feeling that there was an opportunity here that belonged to him alone. However, he could not enter the depths of the endless desert alone, so he needed a companion and had to protect the people around him at present.
"In that case, let's wait patiently."
Mo Shangchen immediately said that this was why he wanted to find someone with great luck to accompany him.
Lianyi also felt that it was not appropriate to go out now. Since the sandworm could become the overlord of the endless desert, it would certainly not be stupid. Since it had devoured Mu Sheng's consciousness before, it must know that his territory had entered the human cultivators, and it would probably not let go of the meat that was in its mouth.
He waited like this for a whole day, until night fell and the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, then Lian Xiye pinched his fingers to open the lid of the box.
