After meeting, the few people briefly discussed and then took advantage of the free time when many monster beasts were competing for food, bypassing the large group of low-level monster beasts and quickly sneaking towards the depths of the sand.
Stepping on the cold sand, Ling Chen walked at the end...
Move forward slowly!
Gradually, the few people walking felt that the sand in front of them was becoming more and more suspicious, hmm!
It's on the ground, it's no longer full of sand like outside! But the ground is even colder (the desert is cold at night and scorching hot during the day), and a deep cold air comes from the underground.
The temperature at night and during the day is really different!
A group of four people carefully passed through more and more complex rocks in front of them.
"Well! This is not an ordinary boulder!" Ling Chen touched the surface of the boulder that was as tall as a person in front of him, and saw that the boulder was covered with strange and regular ancient veins, like golden threads that covered the entire stone.
surface layer.
"This?" Chaoyue turned his head and looked at Ling Chen suspiciously.
"These are all sacrificed! They should be used to build the palace." Ling Chen said lightly based on his one year of experience in sword-making peak, and he was very sure that these huge stones were specially refined by some sword-making masters.
And it was because he felt a subtle fluctuation of spiritual patterns from this ancient boulder that had been there for who knows how long.
Even though a long time has passed, the faint spiritual energy fluctuations on the surface of this boulder were still captured by everyone.
"This! Fellow Daoist Ling, what you mean is that these vast piles of rubble are actually intended to be used to build a palace?" Chaoyue looked at the huge piles of rubble on both sides with some surprise.
"I can't say for sure, but these boulders have been stored for several years. It should be that the owner of the boulders didn't have time to build them yet." Su Mu touched the surface of a huge boulder around it that was coated with a thick layer of wind sand with both hands, and determined that Ling Ling
Chen's guess.
When Chen Zhi saw that Su Mu, the formation master, said this, he couldn't help but show a trace of deep doubt on his face: "This... who would build a palace here, in a deserted and blazing desert?"
"I don't know about this. This is also my guess." Su Mu looked ahead and saw a large jagged boulder in front of him. There were only three paths leading into the desert.
"Let's go! This is the triangular fork that leads to the rock python." Chaoyue walked at the front, calling to Lingchen Su Mu who was looking at the boulder from behind.
The four of them walked in tandem, gathered their thoughts, and cautiously moved forward covertly along one of the paths. Gradually...
The boulders piled on both sides of the path became wider and wider, indicating that the road ahead was getting wider and wider. When Ling Chen and Su Mu stepped out of the path, they were already in a large circular open space.
The clearing is surrounded by a circle of tall strange rocks, with sharp boulders reaching straight into the sky and connecting to the dark black clouds in the sky.
"It's impossible to leap out from here," Chen Zhi pointed to the black gray layer in the sky and said to Chaoyue on the side.
"Well." Chaoyue raised his head and looked at the black gray layer above his head. It was indeed very depressing! The spiritual energy in his body was flowing a little slowly.
"Let's go take a look ahead." Chen Zhi said and walked forward with Chaoyue.
Ling Chen looked around the circle, his dark pupils scanning and recording. Gradually, the two people in front of him, Chaoyue and Chen Zhi, disappeared into the hazy night ahead.
Ling Chen glanced sideways at Su Mu, who was squatting on the ground next to him and pouring out many gadgets from his storage bag.
Squatting on the ground and playing with a few small array chess pieces that were rich in spiritual energy, Su Mu raised his head and glanced at Ling Chen;
"I think setting up a formation here will help us retreat."
"Random" didn't say anything else. He carefully reached out with his spiritual consciousness. After scanning a circle of circular open space, Ling Chen slowly walked towards another intersection in front of the circular open space.
I found the hazy figures of Chaoyue and Chen Zhi staring ahead in the night, as if discussing something.
As he walked forward, a word suddenly came from Chaoyue's mouth and reached the ears of Chen Zhi next to him and Ling Chen behind him.
"Well! There are many intersections here, so Chao thought that the rock python should be surrounded and suppressed in the open space at the first three-way intersection. The two Taoists looked at the terrain in front and must have seen some disadvantages."
"Haha" Chen Zhi smiled and nodded with Ling Chen behind him, and continued; "Super old friend, if my prediction is correct, we are standing here at the outermost three forked roads, and the circular circle behind us
By killing the rock python in the open space, not only can we set up formations on those three only ways out to intercept the army of rock pythons behind us, but we can also quickly escape from the desert."
While talking, Chen Zhi was still squatting on the ground, looking at the multiple intersections a few hundred meters ahead. He used stones to draw a large road map on the ground, signaling it to Ling Chen and Chaoyue to take a closer look.
Ling Chen nodded and calmly looked at the multiple divergent roads cut by huge rocks in the darkness ahead; "Well! Of these multiple intersections, which one leads to the rock python's lair?"
"Although the road map that Chao has shown you does not indicate that there are multiple branches here (because Chao really does not know how many branches there are and where they lead? Of course, in addition to the rock python channel, Chao also
Apart from what I remember, I really don’t know the rest.”
After Chaoyue finished speaking, he still looked doubtfully at the boulder passages he had never entered before, and suggested: "Now I want to explore most of the branch roads here, so that when we encircle and suppress the rock python, they will not suddenly come out.
Another monster"
"Super old friend, that's not right. I don't know how big the Heart Khan Desert is yet, but the monsters at the outermost edge, the lowest level, all have the third or fourth level of Qi training. The further inside, the angry beasts we encounter will
Feng Tianlang is an existence comparable to a monk at the peak of gathering spirits, and we
Going deeper here again, there are rock pythons that are comparable to those in the early mortal realm. Do the two fellow Taoists think that the monsters in other branches will be weaker than the rock pythons?" Chen Zhi is a person who understands the details, and he ordered them in a few words.
Ling Chen and Chaoyue looked at the countless people in front of them with confused eyes.
That's right. At present, their strength is low and it is inconvenient to provoke other beings that are as powerful as the rock python.
Looking indifferently at the largest passages hidden in the darkness ahead, an invisible and inexplicable aura rushed towards him, as if arousing human curiosity, Ling Chen was slightly surprised!
His intuition told him that there were powerful beings here that they could not easily provoke at the moment.
"The third road on the right is the road leading to the rock python's nest. Now we just need to go over and confirm whether the nest is still there, and then we can make some plans and arrangements." Chaoyue pointed to a rather small boulder passage and faced the two people next to him.
said.
"Then Chen and Super Friend will go to this trail to explore first, and Brother Ling and Daoist Su will set up a large formation here in advance." Chen Zhi looked at the fork on the right, turned around and said to Ling Chen.
Ling Chen nodded and smiled without saying a word. He walked to the fork in the road and touched the cold boulder wall with both hands. The boulders had no rules at all, and there was a trace of cold air on the surface. The boulders behind them naturally formed these passages.
After seeing that Ling Chen had no objection, Chaoyue and Chen Zhi looked at each other and cautiously walked towards the third road on the right.
Watching as they surpassed Chen Zhi, the two sneaked and disappeared on the third path on the right...
Ling Chen's fingertips swiped hard on the surface of a boulder on this road, then tightened the long sword behind his back and returned to the circular open space next to Su Mu.
After pouring spiritual energy into a few formation chess pieces, they were driven deep into the hard soil. Perhaps sensing Ling Chen's familiar aura, Su Mu said without raising his head, "Where are Super Taoist Friends and the others?"
"He and Chen Zhi went to explore the rock python's nest together," Ling Chen said calmly as he watched Su Mu play more than a dozen tiny array chess pieces with a blank expression.
"Oh" Su Mu whispered, and the clearing fell into silence again.
The moonlight did not seem to penetrate the gray haze above the head, so there was no light at all where the two stood, but this darkness was not difficult for the monks.
As the atmosphere became more and more weird, Su Mu's constantly changing handprints gradually became messy. From time to time, he glanced sideways at Ling Chen behind him.
After all, the two of them had had unpleasant things happen at Sunset Gate before. Ling Chen acted like a normal person, expressionless, lowering his head and thinking deeply about something.
But Su Mu felt uncomfortable. Su Mu, who kept inserting himself into the chess formation, always felt that a vague and profound gaze was looking at him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Um, did Fellow Daoist Ling and Fellow Daoist Chen say how long it will take for you to come back?" Su Mu knocked a chess piece into the ground and couldn't help but ask Ling Chen who was standing aside.
"No————" A very plain sentence cut off Su Mu from speaking again.
For a moment, this place fell into deathly silence again——————
In the dark night, the spiritual light in Su Mu's hand emitted from time to time, illuminating the faces of the two people with different expressions.
……………………
…………………………………………
Ling Chen stood motionless on the spot with a long sword on his back. The brand new linen clothes replaced the clothes that were broken in the previous battle, perfectly wrapping his strong body.
There was a faint coercion coming from several forked roads in the back, as if there was some powerful monster lying in wait deep in the canyon, which made him frown a little doubtfully.
"Fellow Daoist Su, I wonder why you participated in the siege of the rock python?" After saying this, Ling Chen's face was shrouded in darkness, and no expression could be seen on his face.
"Ling Chen, what do you mean?" Su Mu knocked the last array chess piece in his hand into the ground. Suddenly, a bright seven-star array emitted dazzling patterns on the ground and appeared on the surface of the circular open space. Su Mu was dressed in white.
The rendering is more delicate and free of dust.
Blessed by the dazzling light of the large formation under his feet, Su Mu looked at Ling Chen confidently. As long as the large formation was still under his feet, Ling Chen would not be able to take advantage of him if he thought of it.
Seeing that Su Mu had misunderstood him, Ling Chen explained calmly, "Don't get me wrong, Fellow Daoist Su. Ling just wants to know what Fellow Daoist Su lacks in this rock python. When the rock python is completely killed later, Ling can leave more for Fellow Daoist Su."
"Are you so kind?" Looking at Ling Chen in surprise, Su Mu said coldly;
"I need the blood and sinews of the rock python. I have a formation that requires the essence and blood of the rock python to complete. This is also the formation I want to complete most at the moment. Therefore, when allocating the rock python, please bear the pain and give up, Fellow Daoist Ling. Give more.
Give some to Su”
Su Mu said these words coldly, but secretly smiled in his heart. In fact, he didn't need much of the rock python's essence, blood, and muscles at all. He just felt very happy when he saw Ling Chen's suddenly gloomy expression.
"In this case, we have to look at how much fellow Daoist Su has contributed. The distribution of the rock python's interests is linked to how much fellow daoists have contributed. Ling is not allowed to violate the rules everyone has set before."
Who is he? He just said that he should allocate himself more, and when he saw that it was related to his own interests, he used the rules set by everyone as an excuse. On the surface, Su Mu was calm, but in his heart, he had already cursed this hypocritical Ling Chen.
