Chapter 357 The sand is free

Author: Sunday Lang

Howling Night Sandstorm Bats are the freest wild spirit beasts in the Coolimo Desert. They are rampant throughout the desert. They are good at flying in the wind and are good at turning sand into sand, so they are not afraid of the invasion of other spirit beasts. They like to lurk during the day and night.

In the sand dunes that no one can perceive, you will completely turn yourself into sand during the hot day, which will reduce your physical exertion and make you feel better at the same time.

Although the Howling Night Sandstorm Bat evolved from the Sand Night Bat, it only has one stage of evolution. However, every Night Howling Sandstorm Bat is already a soul-shaping stage spirit beast as soon as it completes its evolution. They are defined by spiritual warriors as rock and wind attribute spirit beasts.

It has also mastered powerful sonic attacks. Although it is not as good as the sonic attack of the Howling Magic Bat, in the vast desert, the sonic attack of the Howling Night Sandstorm Bat can easily stir up the gravel and form a sandstorm if it is accompanied by the chaotic blade flow of its own spiritual magic.

Dozens of howling night sandstorm bats launch sonic attacks at the same time. The sandstorm will spread outward and the desert will expand in area. It is defined as one of the evil beasts by spiritual warriors.

At this moment, the Howling Night Sandstorm Bat was being squeezed, vibrated, cut, and shattered by the space. When the space elements were working, there was no sound, but ear-piercing howls came one after another. Flesh and flesh flew in all directions in the air. Qiao Bang was tens of meters apart.

But it seems that one can still see the cut bones, muscles, and blood of the Howling Night Sandstorm Bat flying in random directions. The back of the panting Hu Jiameng hanging in the air is so tall, and the blood stains all over the sky have no effect at all.

Looking at his image, the constantly shaking shoulders and the rising and falling chest, it is enough to see how much Hu Jiameng paid for using this trick.

The whole world seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood, and a moist feeling filled Qiao Bang's body and mind. Even though the Howling Night Sandstorm Bat had been torn apart, it was squeezed and crushed by space and disappeared without a trace, but Qiao Bang still felt trapped.

Blood was splashed all over him, and his eyes were covered in scarlet.

Hu Jiameng panted heavily. He felt tired from the excessive consumption of mental energy. However, the consumption of spiritual energy was not as severe as expected. It seemed that the space elements in this desert were very strong. Looking at the sky,

The blood mist poured downwards, and Hu Jiameng struggled to shuttle back through the space. At the same time, he released all his strength, and the mental tentacles no longer spread outward. The sea of ​​spiritual consciousness was firmly protected by the mental tentacles. Hu Jiameng concentrated his strength on his shoulder blades.

Here, he vigorously waved his spiritual wings, his shoulders kept swaying, and he flew in the direction of everyone with his strong will.

The blood behind him continued to pour down, and the Howling Night Sandstorm Bat, which had lost the restraint of space power, fell to the sand. The blood sprayed uncontrollably, attracting the attention of other spirit beasts around, and the strong smell aroused the excitement of the wild spirit beasts.

Desperate and unscrupulous, they flew towards the severely injured group of howling sandstorm bats. The surviving howling sandstorm bats immediately turned into sand and left the Shura field regardless of their compatriots being eaten.

Night fell quietly, and everyone flew towards the valley in embarrassment, dragging their tired bodies. Along the way, they saw the iron-backed camel group heading towards the valley under the dim moonlight, but everyone did not feel nervous, just because Lu Xulei

Use spiritual consciousness to remind everyone that there is no need to make a fuss. As long as they are not disturbed, they will not easily launch a counterattack. Compared with the red rock fox, sand wall armadillo, confused green-scaled python, and sand mud iron-backed worm that they just encountered,

As far as the Howling Night Sandstorm Bats are concerned, even the Steel-Horned Camel King that has evolved to its final form does not have a particularly strong desire to attack.

According to legend, if you discover the Steel-Horned Camel King and follow it, you can find water. The premise is that your endurance and speed can be equal to the Steel-Honged Camel King. As herbivorous beasts in the desert, they do not have the ability to turn sand into sand.

It does not have powerful attack methods, but it can run faster than the steel-skull rock ostrich. When it encounters attacks from other spiritual beasts, it can become steel immediately. The bones, muscles, and blood of the whole body are all steel.

There are very few spiritual beasts in the desert that can hunt the Steel-Horned Camel King that has evolved to its final form. When they chew spiritual plants, they also absorb the metal scraps in the gravel, which is why they can promote evolution.

Qiao Bang was carried and flew for a long time, and he felt that his waist and abdomen were about to break. To be honest, Lu Xulei really didn't know how to hug people. Now he felt that his upper body and lower body were in two parts, and his waist was numb and numb.

It was clear. It wasn't until his feet stepped on the soft sand again that Qiao Bang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fatigue and fatigue from the whole journey seemed to dissipate in an instant, feeling the two steep mountains on the left and right.

The silhouette was looming under the moonlight. Qiao Bang suddenly felt a numbness in his neck. When he twisted gently, he made a series of small "clicking" sounds. He couldn't help but raise his palm and press his neck with the tiger's mouth.

The cliffs are quite exaggerated. These two mountains stretch for several kilometers. The mountainside and peaks are bare. There is no vegetation cover when they are exposed. Instead, there are long and narrow valleys with greenery. You can hear the chirping of insects and birds. If you listen carefully, you can still hear them.

The sound of gurgling water could be heard, and as everyone advanced toward the open area of ​​the valley, bursts of roaring could be heard in their ears. The dry air became increasingly moist, which surprised even Qiao Bang.

No one easily set foot in the jungle or low bushes. After experiencing the dangerous spirit beast ambush just now, no one took any chances. Even the chattering Ren Ziyu kept silent. On the contrary, Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan walked leisurely.

I can clearly feel that the surrounding spiritual plants have been immersed in the strong spiritual energy of heaven and earth for many years. Their root systems are well developed and their stems and leaves are dense. It can be seen that this valley is not naturally formed. There should be powerful spiritual warriors practicing here in seclusion a hundred years ago.

This valley has been well taken care of, so that all kinds of spiritual plants are distributed very reasonably. They are not as mixed as the spiritual plants in the desert behind them, and the roots do not go deep into the ground. Obviously there is an abundant water source here.

Either underground spring water irrigated this oasis, or ice crystals condensed on the two mountains and flowed down the mountains to form stagnant water in the low-lying terrain due to the temperature difference between day and night. These remain to be further observed.

The deeper he went, the more Lu Xulei's nerves relaxed unconsciously. He felt Hu Jiameng hurriedly arriving from behind. He slowed down and waited for Hu Jiameng to catch up. He released his mental tentacles and realized that Hu Jiameng's condition was not very good. He told Qiu Wuhui to protect him.

Hu Jiameng continued to walk forward. There was no gravel under his feet. It felt very solid when he stepped on it. As a spiritual warrior, he felt that the aura of the water element was getting stronger. How could he not know that there was no water source ahead?

Sure enough, as I continued walking for two kilometers, the water vapor rushed towards my face. The ground under my feet was no longer hardened. When I went down the mountain along the animal path, I found artificially laid stone steps. The smooth rocks were by no means masterpieces of nature. Everything was perfect.

Revealing that someone had lived here before, but that the stone slabs were covered with moss and overgrown weeds made Lu Xulei relax. At least it meant that no spiritual warriors had settled here in recent years, and the decision he made was still correct.

Yes, you must know that strange spirit warriors are more worrying than wild spirit beasts. Powerful spirit warriors each have their own tempers. Breaking into other people's secluded places is tantamount to declaring war, which is an unreasonable disaster.

The sound of falling water became clearer and clearer, and what came into view was a lake like emerald sapphire. It was crystal clear, quiet and deep, sparkling under the moonlight. The two full moons let the water ripple, which made people feel rippled and couldn't help but stop.

appreciate.

There is an extremely wide waterfall on the left side of the valley, which is like green silk cascading down the cliff. Under the moonlight, you can see the flowing water shining with crystal light, pouring down and hitting the lake. The water splashes and makes an amazing sound.

There was a quiet rumbling sound, and the clear water vapor surrounded the valley. The moist air was flowing down the chest with every breath. There seemed to be fish and spirit beasts flapping in the waterfall, trying to swim upstream against the current.

The water of the waterfall jumped into the air, but it seemed to be in vain. The strong water flow hit the fish beasts again and again, mocking the group of fish beasts who were unable to fight but still stubborn.

On the right side of the valley, there is a steep mountain peak, like a sharp blade piercing the sky. There is no vegetation attached to it. There are occasionally birds and beasts hovering on the top of the mountain. They swoop down to the lake under the gaze of everyone, and they reach forward with their claws to grasp accurately.

The fish spirit beast swam crazily towards the waterfall, its sharp claws like hooks and scythes easily pierced the fish, completely ignoring the group of spirit warriors watching on the shore of the lake, its wings vibrated frequently, and it flew away from everyone's sight.

Leave.

"It's the Barracuda and the Tracer Falcon! I didn't expect to encounter the Barracuda in an oasis in the desert. I remember that the Barracuda is not a spiritual beast that lives in the sea?" Li Ruitao recognized the two spiritual beasts and suppressed

I couldn't help but blurt out the excitement in my heart.

"It's really strange. Look, the peaks are full of Wind Chasers and Tracer Falcons, but there are actually Barracudas and Barracudas in the lake. Could it be that this lake was once an inland sea? Since Barracudas are here

You can swim freely in the lake, so we can’t use this lake water for drinking, so we should directly ask for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Qiu Wuhui murmured to himself, her voice gradually rising, and there was too much uncertainty in her tone.

"Look! There are struvite stones here! There are also ones over there! I found a treasure! What a treasure I found! As long as these struvite stones are cooked with the ashes of burned vegetation, you can extract flint that can support combustion.

, is the most beneficial to alchemy!" Yu Yifei knelt down on one knee and picked up gravels of different sizes on the ground, his eyes full of surprise. Compared to what others were paying attention to, he didn't care at all. He was actually in the wild.

The discovery of struvite was an unexpected bonus!

"Struvite? What is that?" Lei Tao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, surprising everyone. His voice was so thick that his voice seemed to vibrate in his chest.

The sound is full of magnetism.

"It's not all struvite. The deposited feces you see are not those of birds and beasts. They should be feces produced by fish and beasts that have weathered and hardened to form a fecal mine. The temperature difference between day and night here is huge.

It has compressed the formation cycle of bezoar deposits. Judging from the geological structure here, this place may have been a volcano, but it has changed over time and now it has become a desert oasis." Yu Yifei kept talking, and when he finished his words,

In the end, I felt a little sad, but I didn't mind the solidified feces in my palms, and even put it to the tip of my nose to smell it.

Watching Yu Yifei's actions, Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan were far away from each other, feeling indescribably weird in their hearts. This child's hobby is really...

"Since there is struvite, there should be hot springs and spiritual plants in this area..." Li Ruitao immediately continued, but this statement was entirely based on the common sense taught by Cui Quji. In fact, Li Ruitao

I haven't personally verified this statement yet.

"Ah, yes, yes, there must be hot springs in this area! There are also a large area of ​​spiritual plants! If you can pick them with the corresponding techniques, you will definitely be able to make a good pot of elixir!" Yu Yifei's eyes lit up and he stood up quickly and looked around.

The surroundings were unfortunately dim, except for the sparkling moonlight on the lake, and only vague black shadows could be seen.

"Over there." Shu Yuhan pointed far to the left. It was the side of the mountain where the waterfall fell. Nothing could be seen clearly on the steep rocks, but as a planter, she could easily feel the location of the large spiritual plants.

.

"Humph, I'm not going." Yu Yifei didn't appreciate it, but was extremely angry. Apparently Shu Yuhan's interruption reminded him of Lu Xulei's invitation to Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan to join him when he was in danger, which made Yu Yifei unhappy.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go, it won't be too late to search again at dawn tomorrow..." Shu Yuhan muttered in her heart, but did not say it out loud. She knew that Yu Yifei would not listen to her, and the child was unwilling to recognize them as his parents.

Only by continuous dedication may Yu Yifei's inner defenses be broken.

"The terrain here is empty. Let's camp here and rest. Four people are arranged to take turns staying on duty tonight. They are Lei Tao, Li Ruitao, Qiu Wuhui, Ren Ziyu, and Yu Yifei are not strong in combat ability, so they will have a bye tonight. Hu Jiameng just spent a lot of time for us.

If he doesn't have enough mental energy, let him have a good rest. I'll be on duty first, and Lei Tao will take over from me later. You can work first." Lu Xulei arranged it in an orderly manner. He also changed a lot in the past few days, and his tone of voice

He was no longer so rigid and spoke out what was on his mind, thinking that in this way he could maintain the balance in the team.

"Why? If he hadn't insisted on selling sea fish, would we have been targeted by so many spiritual beasts?" Ren Ziyu couldn't help but expressed his dissatisfaction.

"You don't remember the good things about others, only the bad things about others. When things happen, you don't see you to congratulate them. When things go bad, you just talk about others. I really annoy people like you who stand and talk without hurting your back.

, if you don’t know how to speak, just step aside.” Li Ruitao also had a short temper and responded directly without showing any mercy.

"Hu Jiameng also thought of selling live fish in order to let everyone pass the inspection of Cangjie City smoothly. He is not from our Southern Territory Legion. He has worked hard and never slacked off along the way. He has done bad things with good intentions. How can he throw away all the problems?

What about him? Besides, when we were besieged by the Howling Sandstorm Bats, he stood up alone to break up the rear, so what's there to blame? He also lost the money to buy fish." Qiu Wuhui couldn't stand this the most.

Ma Taihe complained, ignoring Lu Xulei's blunt rebuttal, and his angry look was unexpectedly cute.

"I'm just talking about the matter, why can't I talk about him?" Ren Ziyu was angry, pointing at Hu Jiameng and responded quickly.

"It was my fault that I put everyone in danger. I was obsessed with money and forgot the purpose of this trip. I am here to apologize to everyone." Hu Jiameng was exhausted physically and mentally, but still insisted on standing and bowed to everyone to apologize, with sincere words.

He did not shirk his responsibilities.

"Your brother Ren Shenggang is enthusiastic and never criticizes or blames others. He sets an example in the Southern Territory Army. He is strict with himself and lenient to others. Whenever he is attacked by sea spirit beasts, he stands at the forefront. The cold dragon heart ax in his hand

How many brothers have I protected, and how many scars have been left on my body to protect other soldiers, these are traces that I cannot erase with any medicine."

"Your brother is such a respected person with a pure character. What about you? You are just like the gun in your hand, mean, unreasonable and unforgiving!" Yu Yifei was furious. These words

At that time, he had a close relationship with Hu Jiameng, and they were very close to each other. On the contrary, Ren Ziyu always gave people the feeling that he could not communicate well. As time went by, he naturally felt disgusted and did not want to hear him continue to talk.

"I didn't think well enough. Please allow me to take a break now. I'll be the last one on duty." Hu Jiameng responded apologetically, but his face didn't look good and he didn't have the strength to speak.

"It seems that I can't speak well, and you still have the energy to refute, so I won't sleep tonight and stay up all night!" Lu Xulei roared loudly, and the spiritual pressure was released along with the mental pressure.

For a moment, the chirping of insects and birds in the valley suddenly stopped. The swooping Tracer Wind Falcon was so frightened that it flapped its wings and flew rapidly towards the sky. The weak spiritual beast was directly overwhelmed by the mental coercion and fell into coma.

sanity.

Everyone was silent, enduring the pressure of spiritual power coming towards their faces, horrified that Lu Xulei still had such full spiritual power, and could feel a sharp tingling sensation when the tentacles of spiritual power brushed against his face.
