The sun was scorching, and in the endless desert, where the sky and the earth met, the air was distorted by the high temperature. The normally uninhabited desert welcomed an uninvited guest.
After coming out of Qingtie Mansion, Yang Feng hurriedly hurried and finally arrived at the biggest death place on Jinhuang Road, the sand sea.
Although the Sand Sea can be regarded as the territory of the Daxu Dynasty, there is actually only a small part of the territory of the Daxu Dynasty. Within the Sand Sea, the sun is scorching all year round and water sources are scarce.
During the day, the scorching sun hangs high, and the scorching high temperature can make ordinary people die of dehydration in just an hour; at night, the high temperature subsides, and the cold wind bites the bones. If there is no shelter, a person can freeze to death in just one night.
Zombies.
This extreme temperature made the sand sea a natural barrier for the Daxu Dynasty. No other dynasty could send troops across the sand sea to attack Jinhuangdao. In addition, due to the influence of the sand sea, except for patrol posts, the surrounding area was deserted all year round, even if there were soldiers from other dynasties.
It can also respond immediately to the invasion of Jinhuangdao General Military Mansion.
It is such a natural dangerous environment that has become the protective circle of Emperor Zixu. According to the memory of the soul of Tongxu Realm, Emperor Zixu is hiding in the sea of sand, and the space gate connecting the world of mountains and seas to the mortal world is from here.
Open, for mortals, the sand sea is a place of death, but for lichs, the terrain here has no impact on them.
"It's really hard to find people in such a ghost place."
Yang Feng frowned. The sand sea stretched as far as the eye could see. Coupled with the extreme temperature difference, even he had to use sword energy to isolate himself from the high temperature. Walking in the sand sea for a long time would easily lead to loss of direction, and he would eventually be swallowed up by the vast yellow sand.
"Ding ding ding."
Walking in the desert, Yang Feng's eyes suddenly flashed with solemnity. Hearing the sound of bells here was not a good thing.
The wind and sand blew by, and a group of camels appeared on the other side of the desert. Judging from the number of camels, this group was quite large.
"Is it really possible to sneak into the tower on the Lingchuan road? If we fail this time, our tribe will not be able to escape!"
A slightly rough female voice came out from the wind and sand. The group of people covered their faces with black gauze and it was difficult to tell their gender.
"Don't worry, I've been here four times before, this is definitely the right way!"
"You remember what I said, don't make any random ideas when you get to the tower. Those people are not fools. Only by putting away your caution can you have a chance to complete the transaction."
"Stop being so nagging, we haven't had any water for three days. Let's save some energy."
…
Alien? Tower cauldron?
The Sand Sea has always been known as the land of death. Yang Feng did not expect to encounter aliens here. What place was the tower cauldron they were talking about?
Because the Daxu Dynasty kept secrets about the sand sea and did not explore the sand sea too much, they did not understand the situation in the sand sea. This is what troubled Yang Feng. If there was detailed information about the sand sea, he would not have to look for a needle in a haystack.
Looking for Emperor Zixu.
However, the aliens in front of him pointed out a way for him, Ta Ke, no matter where it was, there must be something strange about it that would make these aliens flock to it.
Yang Feng just followed the foreign camel team from a distance. Having them lead the way would save him a lot of trouble.
However, the luck of this alien camel team was obviously not very good. Not long after they left, there was a sudden strong wind and sand, and a black sandstorm rolled up a wall of sand. The sky and earth in the distance were dyed black by dense sand and dust, even though they were far away, they were still there.
It gives people a sense of suffocation and oppression, the power of heaven and earth is so terrifying!
"Death Sandstorm! Everyone hides!"
The foreigner who had been leading the way roared, pulling the camel behind him and rushing towards the small sand dune behind him.
Seeing the sandstorm approaching, the other alien races were not fools either. As soon as the guide finished speaking, the camel team had already dispersed and each was looking for a place to avoid the sandstorm attack.
Yang Feng, who was following behind, couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the rolling sandstorm. His perception of the power of heaven and earth was even more acute. The violent force contained in the sandstorm was enough to sweep this area. After the sandstorm, these aliens could survive.
The chances are slim.
"Certainly!"
Two khaki and gray sword auras flew out from Yang Feng and were directly involved in the sandstorm. The next moment, gray and yellow colors appeared inside the dark sandstorm. The sandstorm that was still approaching stopped at this moment.
Then the gray air flow escaped from the bottom of the sandstorm, like a bloody mouth swallowing the black sandstorm completely.
The foreigners who had been prepared for the sandstorm were stunned for a moment when they saw the sandstorm disintegrating and disappearing, and then suddenly turned their heads to look at where Yang Feng was, the people from the Dynasty!
They didn't expect that there was a member of the Imperial Dynasty following behind them, and that such a terrifying sandstorm could be defeated so easily by him. The Imperial Dynasty and the foreign races have always been hostile. When a group of people looked at Yang Feng, they felt that their hairs were standing on end, their blood was stagnant, and their heartbeats were racing.
Time was stagnant, and if Yang Feng wanted to take action, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
"I'm lost in the sea of sand and I need you to guide me. Is that okay?"
Now that it had been exposed, Yang Feng didn't hide it and spoke.
Although Yang Feng did not force them to lead the way, the coercion emanating from Yang Feng made these aliens not even have the courage to shake their heads and refuse.
"The sandstorm is over, you can continue on your way."
Yang Feng didn't talk nonsense, he just found a camel and sat on it. The camel just sneezed and then walked honestly carrying Yang Feng in the desert.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the camel team seemed a bit solemn. No one dared to speak casually. No one knew what the temper of the murderer next to him was, so shutting up was the best choice.
"What do you know about the cauldron?"
Yang Feng suddenly asked, and the foreigner who was responsible for leading the way responded without a moment's thought: "Three years ago, the tower cauldron appeared out of thin air in the Sand Sea, and spread the news to the foreign tribes in the sand sea that the tower cauldron could be traded to major dynasties.
Rare treasures, and can also help the foreign tribes of the Sand Sea find dynasties that can cooperate and survive. At first, the foreign tribes of the Sand Sea scorned this tower cauldron, until a tribe reached cooperation with the Black Iron Village through the tower cauldron, because there are people from the Black Iron Village.
We assisted the tribe to develop rapidly and became a giant among the foreign tribes in the Sand Sea within three years, so all the foreign tribes in the Sand Sea began to contact Tabao, hoping to gain benefits."
Yang Feng had heard about Black Tiezhai, but it was a small country with ten thousand people, located outside the southern border of Daxu Dynasty. Because it lived in the mountains and forests and had a small number of people, it always called itself the village. In a country like Daxu Dynasty,
In the eyes of the behemoth, Black Iron Village is not even an ant, but he did not expect that Black Iron Village is actually related to the Zixu Emperor. After all, no one would be idle and work in a dead place like the Sand Sea to unite small countries and foreign races.
Assist them in their development.
Now it seems that Emperor Zixu has infiltrated many such small countries. Although these small countries may not pose any threat to the Daxu Dynasty even if they unite, Emperor Zixu must have other plans for doing this.
Cauldron, you have found the right place!
"What is the purpose of your trip? Are you looking for cooperation with the dynasty?"
Yang Feng asked curiously.
"Qi, we don't believe those so-called dynasties. We have the protection of the Tsar and don't need to cooperate with the dynasty. Our trip is for the Heart Source Stone!"
"Ya!"
The old stern voice interrupted the female voice.
"You mean there's a Heart Origin Stone trade in Tower Cauldron?"
Yang Feng raised his brows, with a thoughtful look on his face. If Emperor Zixu had the Heart Origin Stone in his hand, then he had underestimated this Emperor Zixu.
The Heart Origin Stone has the power similar to the true meaning of the heart, and can turn fantasy into reality. Of course, not all fantasies can be realized. The more outrageous the fantasy, the greater the loss of the Heart Origin Stone. If it exceeds the limit, the Heart Origin Stone will break.
The Heart Origin Stone is very rare in the world of mountains and seas, let alone common people. Since Emperor Zixu knows the name of the Heart Origin Stone, he naturally knows the function of the Heart Origin Stone, and uses it to make deals with impoverished aliens? It smells like conspiracy.
It's too obvious.
Ya, who was scolded, snorted coldly: "Tafu has a lot of things, and Tafu doesn't want your dynasty to monopolize most of the resources in this world."
Yang Feng laughed and did not refute. Ya's words were correct, but she did not know how precious the Heart Origin Stone was. It was destined that their trip would be in vain, and they would even become chess pieces of Emperor Zixu's son.
"Tell me about the distribution of the alien races in the Sand Sea."
According to what Ya and the others said, there are actually many alien races in the sand sea. After all, the vast desert is not much wider than a top dynasty like Daxu. The environment is always difficult and many alien races will survive.
"So what if I tell you, you dynasty people can't go deep into the sand sea anyway. There are four major alien tribes in the sand sea, and countless other small alien tribes scattered here and there. There is also our greatest tsar deep in the sand sea.
.”
Yang Feng opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. The Daxu Dynasty knew very little about the sand sea. Even Qin Chuan, the leader of the Daxu Dynasty, didn't know that there were other living beings in the sand sea, let alone
Let’s talk about others, if one day the aliens from the Sand Sea plot against the Daxu Dynasty, it will definitely be a disaster for the Daxu Dynasty.
"Coming!"
The foreigner leading the way suddenly exclaimed. In the desert not far away, sand and gravel flew away, the high temperature distorted the light, and a majestic sand castle could be vaguely seen standing in it.
"The luck is intertwined. With the help of the foreign races in the Sand Sea, the luck of the small outside countries supports the operation of the tower and cauldron? Emperor Zixu is really a good calculator."
Without the support of luck, it would be difficult for any force to survive, but Emperor Zixu built the tower cauldron, brought together the small countries outside and the foreign races of the Sand Sea, and relied on their luck to maintain the survival of the tower cauldron. This kind of borrowing Qi
Not everyone can use the means of luck, and these lucks are gradually merging. Sooner or later, the mixed lucks will intertwine and merge, eventually forming a new luck, which belongs to Emperor Zixu's luck.
Because it is rooted in the sea of sand, Tafu's luck has not been noticed by outsiders, and no one will come to disrupt the plans of Emperor Zixu. He can develop here with peace of mind, until one day he has the capital to compete in the world.
What makes Yang Feng puzzled is that since Emperor Zixu is nurturing his own national destiny, why would he open the door to space and introduce the lich into the mortal world? This is tantamount to burying all his plans for the past three years, which is contrary to common sense.
"After Luan Feng Gang in front, you'll find the tower cauldron. Everyone, follow closely. Don't be blown away by the sandy wind!"
