Chapter 1257 Flowing Sand
As Lian Xiye opened the lid of the box, a large amount of sand poured into the box. Du Yan immediately waved her sleeves to sweep the sand out. After several people extended their spiritual sense, they found that they were buried in the sand.
Lian Xiye was controlling the box and moving it slowly upwards. After a quarter of an hour, the box finally emerged from under the sand. The next moment, a layer of white frost formed on the surface of the box. It was obvious that the temperature in the desert at night was very low.
Lianyi is a demon cultivator and her body is naturally strong. In addition, she has natural fur, which has now transformed into a thick fur robe, so she does not feel cold at all.
Du Yan and the others knew that they were going to the Endless Desert, so they naturally made preparations. Each of them also added a thick woolen robe, but the quality of it could not be compared with Lianyi's.
Du Yan's eyes were glued to Lianyi's thick white woolen robe. She couldn't hide the envy in her eyes. She came close to Lianyi and said with a smile:
"Friend Yi, your robe is so beautiful, without a single stray hair on it."
Lian Yi said casually:
"This was given to me by my grandfather. It seems to be made from the skin of a seventh-level white fox."
"Hiss!" A series of gasps were heard. Among the current cultivation families, how many can use the skin of a seventh-level monster to refine robes?
Mo Shangchen's eyes flashed. When he left Mo Shang City, his father sent him a message, asking him to be careful of Elaine. Even if he wanted to do something, he should not think of dragging Elaine into the water or using others as scapegoats, otherwise he would definitely shoot himself in the foot.
Although he did not receive a clear answer from his father when he sent a message to ask the reason, he now seemed to understand a little. The family behind the other party was very powerful, and his father, the lord of a city, could not withstand it. If he really did something to hurt Elaine, his father would probably not be able to protect him.
In that case, he would just respect the other party. Anyway, he just wanted to borrow the other party's good luck. After thinking it through, he raised his hand and released a small flying boat, calling everyone to get on the flying boat, because the sand under his feet had begun to move.
Lianyi was the last one to jump onto the flying boat, mainly because she wanted to feel the direction in which the sand was flowing.
Seeing that everyone was on the flying boat, Mo Shangchen activated the defense and let the sand push the flying boat forward. No one returned to the cabin, but stood on the deck, looking at the direction of the quicksand.
"Fellow Daoist Moshang, is this the right direction?"
Du Yan asked, if the direction was wrong, they would have to go back during the day, which was a waste of time.
"We are heading in the right direction now. As long as the quicksand doesn't change direction tonight, we should be able to save at least a day's journey."
Mo Shangchen had a compass in his hand at this time, and was measuring the direction to make sure that the current direction was correct.
Lianyi is not so optimistic. The reason why the Endless Desert is called one of the eight dangerous places in the world of cultivation is because the quicksand here seems to have life and can always give you a "shock" unexpectedly.
Just as Mo Shangchen finished his words, Lianyi felt the flying boat shake, and then the quicksand changed direction.
"Fellow Daoist Moshang, the quicksand has changed direction."
Lian Xiye said helplessly.
Mo Shangchen's eyelids twitched, and he frowned and said:
"It seems that our luck is not very good today. Let's take turns to rest. We have to speed up tomorrow."
Mo Shangchen had considered this situation before setting out, so he was very calm and reserved enough time to enter the heart of the endless desert.
"You guys go and rest first, I'll guard the first post."
Lianyi said to Mo Shangchen.
Lian Xiye originally wanted to try to be in a group with Lianyi to improve her favorability, but Mo Shangchen thought it would be better to share the luck, so he said:
"Then I will be in one group, Fellow Daoist Elaine, and the four of you will be divided into two groups, one for the first half of the night and one for the second half. The other group will stay in the best condition so that they can take action at any time if something happens. We will take turns every night."
"Okay, no problem."
Everyone agreed that in such a dangerous place, one must be cautious in everything they do.
Seeing that there was no chance anymore, Lian Xiye took the lead and went back to the cabin to practice. Improving cultivation was the most important thing.
Lianyi stood on the deck, staring at the flowing sand in a trance. In her eyes, these things were alive, but she didn't know what was hidden in the tiny grains of sand.
"Fellow Daoist Yilian, you don't need to study it. The peculiarities of these sands have long attracted the attention of the great masters of cultivation, but nothing has been discovered. After leaving the Endless Land, these sands will no longer flow on their own."
Mo Shangchen saw that Lian Yi was interested, so he explained.
"I am indeed a little curious. I have only seen it in jade slips before. Seeing it in person is a completely different feeling."
Ripple said with a smile.
Not long after, the two saw white bones dug out from the sand, some human and some animal. In just a few breaths, these bones were buried in the sand again and disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that many people have died here. We must be more cautious."
Mo Shangchen whispered.
Mu Sheng and Ye Qing were on duty in the second half of the night. Lianyi returned to her cabin and released Duoduo from the space after placing a ban:
"Duoduo, I'll let you out in two nights. Help me explore what's under this desert."
"Yes, Master."
Duoduo readily agreed, and then added:
"Master, did you find something?"
"Not at the moment, I just have some suspicions, so I want you to go explore the way. My spiritual sense cannot penetrate this sand."
Ripple explained.
"clear."
Duoduo said after shaking the leaves.
After the flying boat stopped, everyone started walking again. This time their luck was better than the first day. They did not encounter sandworms again. They only encountered some red-tailed sand scorpions unique to the desert, which were dealt with by several people working together. The stingers of the red-tailed sand scorpions became their trophies, and the scorpion meat became their food.
After walking like this for ten days, they slowly approached the edge of the middle circle. From here on, they would encounter more and more monsters of various kinds, and the chance of encountering sandworms would also increase.
So Mo Shangchen suggested taking a day off before moving on, and everyone had no objection.
Lianyi asked Duoduo to continue exploring underground in the desert, hoping to make a discovery today.
An hour later, Duoduo's cry for help came from Lianyi's sea of consciousness:
"Master, help! A sandworm has found me and is chasing me!"
"Why are you so careless? How big is the sandworm? You are level five, can you be tougher?"
"Sandworms are so ugly that I just can't eat them."
Duoduo started to cry.
"If you don't eat it, you'll end up in the sandworm's stomach."
Lianyi was also speechless.
"yes!"
After a few breaths, everyone felt the ground shaking. Mo Shangchen said with a bad look on his face:
"It's a sandworm, scatter!"
The moment he finished speaking, a sandworm emerged from the ground, but this time its shape was a little strange. The sandworm's body was entangled by a brown root vine, and the root vine was full of red flowers.
The two sides seemed to be fighting. The sandworm was twisting its body hard, trying to rub off the things entangled on its body, but every time it rolled, the roots tightened a little.
