Chapter 170 Back View
Two months later, in the boundless sea of sand,
The three monks were moving forward carefully, their feet not sinking on the soft sand, and not making any sound at all.
"Senior Brother Mao, why do we have to cross this area of quicksand?" A female cultivator at the side frowned slightly and asked with a little dissatisfaction.
Mao Zeng glanced at the female monk beside him and patiently explained, "We need to go to the Stone Forest. It is the only safe place in the surrounding area. There we may meet some monks who are healing and then go to find the exit with them. Now, the three of us only have the last bit of power left in the life-saving items of our junior sister. If we don't rush to the Stone Forest before the power in the life-saving items is exhausted, our situation will be extremely dangerous."
The male monk walking at the back also nodded and advised: "Junior Sister Fu Zi, just hold on a little longer. As long as we pass through the Quicksand Region and then the Valley of Wind, we will reach the Stone Forest. If we are lucky, we will encounter the exit of Qingtian Tomb in the Quicksand Region, then we don't have to go to the Stone Forest."
"Compared to the Valley of Wind, the Quicksand Region is relatively safe, so in the Quicksand Region, do not use the last bit of power in your life-saving items unless it is absolutely necessary. This power must be used in the Valley of Wind. Otherwise, with our strength, we may not be able to get through the Valley of Wind." Mao Zeng reminded solemnly.
Seeing that his junior sister nodded, indicating that she had taken note of it, Mao Zeng finally felt relieved.
However, Mao Zeng and the others had no idea that the current Quicksand Region was much more dangerous than before. On the contrary, the Valley of Wind was comparable to the Stone Forest. Without the Wind Wing Tiger, the Valley of Wind was not dangerous at all.
The three of them walked quickly in the desert. On a sand dune not far from them, a small piece of sand bulged slightly, and then sank again.
A few miles ahead of them, a small patch of green dotted the yellow sand, adding a touch of vitality to this desolate area.
Mao Zeng led the way quickly in front while observing his surroundings vigilantly. Gradually, the doubts in Mao Zeng's eyes became more and more serious.
"Something is wrong." Mao Zeng said solemnly.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Fu Zi was shocked and looked at Mao Zeng.
"We have been walking in this sea of sand for most of the day, but we haven't encountered any monsters that could attack us. This is very abnormal."
"Wouldn't it be better if there were no monsters to attack us?" Fu Zi didn't care. Instead, he said happily, "Maybe those stupid monsters didn't even notice our whereabouts, so they naturally couldn't attack us."
Mao Zeng's expression did not relax at all, but became more solemn.
"Junior sister, this is your first time entering Qingtian Tomb, so there are some situations that you are not aware of. The monsters living in this quicksand area have very strong perceptions. Even if they are several feet or even dozens of feet deep underground, even if they are several miles away from us, they can easily discover our whereabouts. Not to mention that Qingtian Tomb has a no-fly zone and we can only walk through this quicksand area. Even when Qingtian Tomb does not have a no-fly zone, we cannot easily fly across this quicksand area. There will definitely be monsters breaking through the sand and attacking us." Mao Zeng said in a low voice.
"Brother is right. Junior sister, please walk between me and brother. Even if you are attacked, we can protect you." The male monk at the back immediately showed his courtesy.
Fu Zi, who was frightened by Mao Zeng's words, hurriedly walked between the two of them, looking around with a suspicious look, as if a ferocious monster would emerge from under the hot sand at any time.
"Hey, there's a green field ahead?" Mao Zeng, who was walking in the front, said with his eyes suddenly brightened. It was not easy to find green fields in this sea of sand. Although monks like Mao Zeng did not need to replenish food and water like ordinary people, seeing the green fields full of vitality at least made everyone feel much better.
Moreover, the appearance of green areas indicates that monsters should be less active in this area, otherwise the green areas would have been destroyed long ago.
"Follow me." Mao Zeng ordered and walked towards the green space first.
Fu Zi and the other person behind hurriedly followed.
at this time,
"Bang", the sand suddenly collapsed and flew in all directions, and then a strange monster with almost the same color as the sand crawled out from under the sand and rushed towards the monk walking at the end.
"Get out of my way." The monk roared, and the spear in his hand suddenly stabbed at the monster that attacked him.
"clang", the monster that suddenly appeared was extremely powerful. It knocked the monk's spear aside with one claw, and grabbed the monk's neck with the other claw at lightning speed. The monk's defensive magic suddenly flashed violently and was almost broken by this claw.
The monk was horrified.
Fortunately, Mao Zeng, who was walking in the front, had already reacted at this time. His two swords left thousands of sword lights in the air. The sword lights were sharp and full of cold murderous intent.
But the monster that attacked by surprise did not dodge. Instead, it used its body to withstand Mao Zeng's attack, and then waved its claws again.
"Bang!" The cultivator's defensive magic exploded into magic power all over the sky. The cultivator, with fear in his eyes, tried hard to dodge, but he found that his speed was much slower than the monster that attacked him.
'puff',
Blood splattered into the air, and the monk's head flew high into the air before landing on the sand a few feet away. The blood splashed onto the hot sand, making a sizzling sound.
Although the female monk Fu Zi's face was pale, she clenched the weapon in her hand tightly and continued to attack the strange monsters from the side to help her senior brother Mao Zeng share some of the pressure.
"Not good. This monster is much stronger than ordinary monsters." Mao Zeng's face suddenly changed when he saw the strange monster breaking his junior brother's defense with just two claws. Ordinary monsters could not do this.
The monster that could kill his junior brother so easily is already at the same level as the Wind Wing Tiger. How could such a monster suddenly appear here?
Mao Zeng was frightened. He didn't know what sudden changes had taken place in this quicksand area.
"Junior sister, use the life-saving item quickly." Mao Zeng shouted loudly while struggling to resist the fierce attack of the strange monster, reminding his junior sister Fu Zi to use the last life-saving trump card immediately.
Hearing Mao Zeng's words, Fu Zi quickly dodged to the side, and then he saw a bright golden light shining on Fu Zi's chest. The golden light was misty and broke through Fu Zi's clothes and flew out.
At this time, the defensive method on Mao Zeng's body began to flicker violently, and it was obvious that it would be broken soon. Once the defensive method was broken, coupled with the terrifying speed of the strange monster, Mao Zeng would only have a few breaths of time before he would follow in the footsteps of his junior brother.
"Go." At this time, Fu Zi's cold voice suddenly shouted angrily, and the golden light on her chest suddenly shot towards the strange monster at an extremely fast speed.
When golden light appeared on Fu Zi's body, the strange monster was already on guard, otherwise the defensive magic on Mao Zeng's body would have been broken long ago and it would not have been able to hold on for so long.
Seeing the golden light flying towards it quickly, the strange monster immediately gave up the attack, lowered its head, and suddenly dived into the sand under its feet. At this time, the golden light also hit the sand, but there was no sound. The golden light only left a fist-sized hole in the sand and then disappeared.
Mao Zeng and Fu Zi looked at the sand under their feet nervously and listened attentively.
Suddenly, a muffled groan came from the sand under their feet. The two were startled and quickly dodged. Just as they dodged, a strange monster covered in blood rushed out from where Mao Zeng and the others had just stood.
"How could it not be dead?" Fu Zi's face turned paler. This was already their strongest method, but this strange-looking monster was only seriously injured and not killed.
Mao Zeng's expression changed completely. He had used all his most powerful trump cards, but still failed to kill the monster. This monster was already so powerful that they needed to look up to it.
"Roar!" The strange monster roared, and looked at Mao Zeng and Fu Zi with a look of violent murderous intent. The strange monster covered in blood looked like a demon, ferocious and terrifying.
"I will hold this monster back, you hurry up and run away, Junior Sister." Mao Zeng roared angrily and rushed towards the strange monster.
But at this moment, a sword light suddenly appeared from the side, and the sword light suddenly slashed on the defenseless Mao Zeng, knocking Mao Zeng away.
Mao Zeng looked back and was surprised to find that the green land that was far away before had come to their side at some point. The strangest thing was that the green land suddenly lifted up and then turned into a monk. The sword light that hit him was emitted by that monk.
Feeling that he was just knocked away and not injured, Mao Zeng, who was flying far away, suddenly had an idea in his mind and quickly looked at the strange monster. Mao Zeng was surprised to find that the monster that they could not resist showed fear in its eyes when it saw the monk who suddenly appeared, and then turned around and ran away without stopping.
"It's been two months, and I finally caught you. Do you think I will let you escape?" Along with Kong Fang's cold voice, the two-colored light balls had merged and formed, and then under the horrified gaze of the strange monster, they suddenly came in front of it.
The strange monster wanted to swing its claws to knock the two-colored light balls away, but before its claws touched the two-colored light balls, a loud bang suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
The two-color light ball exploded at such a close distance that even the terrifying strength of the strange monster could not stop it. The magic power of the strange monster was instantly broken, and then the terrifying power of the two-color light ball was fully exerted on the strange monster.
A shrill scream even drowned out the loud noise when the two-colored light balls exploded, but the scream soon stopped.
After a while, the sand sea returned to calm, but the corpse of the strange monster and the big pit told what had just happened here, but these would soon be covered by the quicksand.
Mao Zeng and Fu Zi fell far away. They did not look at the dead strange monster, but stared in shock at the silver figure that was gradually moving away.
