The boundless sea of sand covers the desolate land and extends to the end of the sky. As far as the eye can see, there is deathly silence, without a trace of life.
The blood-red moon hung in the sky, and the scarlet moonlight dyed the earth with a layer of red, making it look indescribably weird.
In the sea of sand, there are faint ruins of some ancient buildings, as if this place used to be a city. But now, most of these buildings have been covered by quicksand.
Suddenly, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly emerged from the abandoned small door of a building.
The flying swords in the hands of these two people and the Qiankun bags tied around their waists all indicate their identities.
These are obviously two cultivators from the Kyushu Continent.
The two of them looked quite old, and their bodies were full of weathered weather, but their eyes were full of vigilance. After exiting the small door, both of them released their consciousness extremely nervously and looked around.
For a long time, the two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The tall monk smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that those Rakshasa monks were impatient with waiting. I guess they may have run out of supplies, so they left voluntarily."
The short monk nodded and sighed: "Damn, it's not easy! We brothers almost risked our lives for the crystal core of the Level 3 "Evil-Eyed Scorpion"! Just after we got it, we met Rakshasa.
People are really unlucky. Those Rakshasa people are really brave and their cultivation level is not that good. They dare to go so close to Luoyang City! When we go back, we must report it to the city lord's palace and send someone to kill these bastards.
All the eggs were destroyed!"
The tall monk nodded in agreement, and suddenly smiled and said: "But this time it is worth it! The crystal core of this evil-eyed scorpion can be replaced with hundreds of low-level spiritual stones. Junior brother, the one you are interested in
We also have money to buy the magic weapon!"
The little monk said gratefully: "This time, thanks to my senior brother! I will remember this feeling!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. The tall monk pointed to the south and said: "You can't stay here for a long time. If those Rakshasa monks come back, it will be troublesome. This place is only more than 200 miles away from Luoyang City, and there are no powerful monsters on the road. We
Act quickly, and hopefully we can reach Luoyang City tomorrow morning. The Rakshasa people must not have thought that we dare to move at night, and we will be safe when we reach Luoyang City!"
The short monk nodded and said, "Well, although other oases are closer, the possibility of encountering those Rakshasa people is greater. Let's go south. The further south you go, the greater the chance of encountering our Chinese monks, Luo
The Sha people don’t dare to chase us casually. Without further ado, let’s set off now.”
As the two of them spoke, they left the ruins very carefully and headed south cautiously.
After walking about 500 meters, the tall monk suddenly showed a look of fear on his face and shouted: "Junior brother, be careful where you step!" After saying that, he jumped up first.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
Before the little monk could react, there was a violent fluctuation of mana under his feet, and then, dozens of khaki-colored spears burst out from under the sand without any warning!
Each spear was as thick as a goose egg, and the sharp edge shone with a cold light, instantly turning the little monk into a hedgehog.
The khaki-colored spear was castrated very quickly. Although the tall monk jumped up in advance, he was not spared. Both legs were stabbed to a bloody pulp, and it looked like they were completely disabled.
"puff!"
Dozens of khaki-colored spears turned into rich earth-attribute spiritual power and dispersed at the same time. It turned out that the spears were not entities, but condensed spiritual power! The tall monk who lost his legs also fell heavily to the ground, bleeding instantly.
The ground in front of him was dyed red.
"Earth Thorn Technique! Level 5 Demon Lord?" Looking at the slender figure wearing robes and holding a staff who stood up slowly from behind the dune, the tall monk muttered with a pale face.
The figure floated over the sandy sea like a breeze, but it was a beautiful girl with a high nose and deep eyes. The girl was wearing a wide sky blue robe. In this sea of sand where the wind was always raging, there was not a trace of dust on her body.
, blue eyes as clear as the sea, eye waves as pure as crystal, skin as clear as jade, and long silky blue hair flowing elegantly behind her head.
This girl's appearance can only be described as perfect. However, when the tall monk looked at this beautiful female mage, it was as if he was seeing the most terrifying devil.
The beautiful girl looked at the tall monk and smiled slightly, her smile rippling like the spring breeze, and her voice was more beautiful than a lark: "Give me the crystal core, and I will let you go!"
"Let me go?"
Although this woman spoke Chinese more fluently than him, the purest Chinese, the tall monk's eyes immediately turned red when he looked at his brother who had turned into a puddle of minced meat.
He took out a goose egg-sized khaki monster crystal core from his arms. The tall monk smiled coldly and said, "Is this what you want?"
When the beautiful girl mage saw it, she said with surprise on her face: "Yes, yes, that's it. My staff needs this to upgrade..."
The tall monk took the crystal core in his hand and sneered: "After I give you the crystal core, how do I know if you will let it go?"
The beautiful mage immediately laughed, and her beautiful voice sounded again: "Haha, do you have any other choice now?"
The tall monk thought for a moment and said dejectedly: "Okay, I will believe you just once. I hope you can keep your word and give it to you!" With a wave of his hand, the crystal core flew towards the beautiful mage.
The beautiful girl mage sighed: "If this had happened, your brother might not have died!" She stretched out her fair little hand and grabbed the crystal core.
Feeling the rich earth energy emitted by the crystal core, the mage's eyes as clear as sea water also glowed with a strange color. He raised the crystal core in front of him and looked at it carefully, with a touching smile on his lips.
The tall monk showed a ferocious smile on his face, tried his best to hit a few spells, and shouted: "Explode!"
"boom!"
Violent mana fluctuations emanated from the crystal core, and the young mage's pure eyes only had time to flash a look of panic before her whole body was turned into a ball of blood mist by the violent energy.
The power of the explosion completely blew away the sand within a 10-meter radius, exposing the stony ground below. Naturally, the tall monk was not spared. His entire body was blown to pieces, and only one head flew up high.
Looking at the huge pit below, the head in mid-air also showed a sad smile: "Another idiot who just came out of the mage tower. Don't you know that the crystal core can explode?"
"Killing a Level 5 Demon Lord is worth it! But it's a pity that I can't receive the meritorious service!"
Then, the head closed its eyes with satisfaction and fell heavily into the sea of sand.
"Susu..."
There was a slight sound, and a large group of extremely ferocious strange bugs emerged from the desert. Their small eyes flashed with blood-red light, and they excitedly rushed towards the pieces of flesh and blood on the ground. The densely packed bugs were extremely dense.
He quickly ate the mutilated corpses of the three people on the ground, and then quietly hid them under the reddish-brown sand.
A gust of wind came out, carrying scarlet gravel all over the sky, and quickly filled up the big hole.
Tomorrow, when the sun rises, no one who walks here will know what happened here last night!
Here is the Luoyang Desert, a land of hundreds of battles!
…
The Luoyang Desert stretches tens of thousands of miles from north to south, starting from Lelang Sea in the east and boundless wilderness in the west, which completely separates the two hegemons on the mainland.
The formation of this desert was only a thousand years ago. The legend of the mysterious female monk who suddenly appeared in China and destroyed the world with one move is still something that Chinese monks talk about today.
It is said that the senior suddenly appeared when the Rakshasa Kingdom was marching south. In one day, he not only wiped out all the holy magicians of the opponent, but also chopped up thousands of miles of yellow sand with a single sword.
.
Since then, the territory of the Huaxia Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom has stabilized, and the behemoths on the two continents face each other across the boundless yellow sand. The monks from both sides also fight in the thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Fighting for a thousand years.
As the years passed, the Luoyang Desert also began to undergo some changes.
In the first 200 years, probably because of the woman's shocking sword strike, the entire Luoyang Desert was barren of grass. Not even clouds appeared here, and there was no trace of precipitation throughout the year. For ordinary people, it was a complete desolation.
Later, perhaps because the energy left by that predecessor had dissipated, clouds that had not been seen for a long time appeared in the desert, and there was rainfall, so dots of oases appeared in the desert.
With oasis, there is life. Many immigrants from small countries that were wiped out by the two major overlords of the mainland entered the desert and built some small cities on the oasis. Businessmen who were born with an adventurous spirit also began to form caravans
, along the oases, smuggling between the two big countries.
Regarding such behavior, the two behemoths turned a blind eye. After all, no matter how sharp the conflicts between the two countries' cultivation circles, it is also a practical need for ordinary people to exchange their needs.
The battle between the two cultivation worlds also tried their best not to involve ordinary people.
But 500 years ago, the situation changed again!
Since the discovery of an immortal ruins in the desert, there has suddenly been a lot of violent energy in the desert, and there are many strange monsters in the desert. Even in the sky, they rise every night
An evil bloody full moon!
During the day, those monster beasts lurk under the sand sea, and only a few of them will appear in the desert. But at night, this place has become their paradise. Whether it is monks or civilian towns, they are often attacked.
The attacks of these monster beasts. The closer to the center of the desert, the greater the number of monster beasts.
With that strange violent energy, the monks from the two countries suddenly discovered that whenever the blood moon rose at night, their skills would be greatly suppressed, and their cultivation would be less than half of their original levels! And those monster beasts
But it was obviously not affected and even became more violent!
Therefore, the desert at night has become a forbidden area for monks. Only those with advanced skills dare to appear in the desert at night.
Due to the existence of these monsters, many oases have been abandoned and prosperous towns have turned into ruins. There are also fewer and fewer people living in the desert.
Up to now, there are still two remaining oasis belts maintained by humans, becoming the last passage connecting the two superpowers.
These two oasis zones are the Peter Trail and the MiG Corridor.
A warm current from the Atami traveled north from the Lelang Sea to the far north, bringing abundant rainfall to the coast and forming a large oasis on the coast of the Luoyang Desert. Even with the rise of monsters
, the oases on the coast are now the densest in the entire Luoyang Desert.
This oasis zone dozens of miles wide against the sea is called Peter's Trail by the Rakshasa people. Because the end of the trail is Petersburg, the capital of the Rakshasa people. At the other end of the Peter's Trail, the Chinese people have the most sturdy customs.
Jizhou!
The MiG Corridor is another oasis belt in the desert. To the south is Luoyang City, the great city of China, and to the north is the Mage Tower, the holy land of the Rakshasa people.
Although the rise of monsters has destroyed many towns in the desert, to the monks, these endless monsters that come from nowhere are nothing more than treasures. Because the monsters’ bodies contain the monks’ favorite wealth—
—Crystal Nucleus!
Whether it is the cultivators of the Huaxia Kingdom or the magicians of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the demand for crystal nuclei is very huge. The endless wilderness on the west side of the continent is too dangerous, so the Luoyang Desert has become a place for monks
The blessed land.
The towns on these two oasis belts are not controlled by two big countries, but are occupied by many large and small forces. Based on some unspoken rules, monks from the two countries are not allowed to fight in the towns.
of.
Most of the monks in the two countries can follow this rule, and the sale and purchase of crystal cores is carried out lively in these towns.
However, tens of thousands of years of grudges are not so easy to forget! Therefore, outside the town, the battle between the monks of the two countries has been going on in full swing. Various tasks for the other monks are also constantly coming from Luoyang.
The city and the mage temple are released.
This is the Luoyang Desert, a magical place, a place where opportunities and dangers coexist, a paradise for brave people and adventurers!
