Chapter 813 Black Sandstorm
Chapter 813 Black Sandstorm
Got it!
Zhao Mu realized that this woman from the Amorous Sword Sect was there to force him to make a decision.
Of course, his attitude was somewhat forced but still honest, and he didn't give off an arrogant feeling; he was quite humble.
"I don't know what it means to be friendly?"
After Yanlan finished speaking, she paused briefly before asking Zhao Mu for his answer directly.
"it is good!"
Zhao Mu responded with a smile.
"In that case, we will set off tomorrow."
After a pause, Yanlan asked again, "May I ask your name?"
"Zhao Mu."
......
The next day, Zhao Mu joined Yanlan's team, which consisted of thirty-two people. He was one of the three body cultivators, and the rest were all spirit refiners. Four of them had broken through to the fourth level of the realm, one of whom was the woman in the green dress who had come to find him the day before.
Her name is Lü Ran. She is at the early stage of the Four Extremes Realm, a rogue cultivator, and is quite well-known.
However, among the four Four Extreme Realm experts, including her, Yanlan was the leader.
At the same time, he also gained some understanding of the Amorous Sword Sect. In this Cangwu Realm, it is a first-tier force under the three holy lands, and there is a Celestial Ascension Realm expert in charge of the sect.
If placed on the Kunwu Continent, it would definitely be a top-tier, super-class power.
Because most top-tier forces don't even have an Ascension Realm officer stationed there.
Besides Lü Ran, the other three at the Four Extremes Realm are Jia Zheng, Wu Di, and Mo Qiusheng.
Although these people were at the Fourth Extreme Realm, Zhao Mu could clearly sense that their strength was much weaker than Cang Lin's back then.
After exchanging greetings with the others, Zhao Mu set off together for the Black Sand Sea.
These four cultivators at the Four Extremes Realm were quite friendly to him, but the other two body cultivators and the other cultivators at the Void Realm looked at him with some hostility. Zhao Mu wasn't quite sure why, but he just needed to keep a low profile.
He immediately became invisible, and as he expected, the number of people watching him quickly decreased by more than half.
Zhao Mu roughly estimated that, apart from Yanlan, who was known as the Little Sword King, everyone in this team, including the four at the Fourth Extreme Realm, was no match for him.
hmm~
Such a team is very safe.
Thirty-odd cannon fodder are enough.
We were lucky on this trip. For three consecutive days, we only encountered small sandstorms, so we didn't need to take shelter and were able to keep traveling. We covered about 25,000 li (12,500 kilometers).
However, just as evening was approaching, a strange change occurred.
Zhao Mu kept his divine sense active and vigilant. He keenly sensed that the celestial phenomena in the southeast direction were beginning to change. The originally cloudless sky suddenly gathered a large number of clouds, which quickly turned black after overlapping.
"Oh no, it's a black sandstorm!"
Someone cried out in alarm, terrified, because the black sandstorm is one of the most terrifying things in the ancient Kamakura desert; if you encounter it, the chance of survival is less than 30%.
I originally thought I was lucky and would be able to reach the Black Sand Sea in less than four days.
result......
A relentless black sandstorm swept in.
"Stay put and wait for the black sandstorm to leave."
Although Yanlan's expression was also solemn, she was still able to remain calm. She threw out an array plate, and a defensive array instantly unfolded and rapidly shrank until it could only encompass everyone.
Zhao Mu found it strange that they didn't burrow underground to avoid the storm, since even the most powerful black sandstorm wouldn't affect the underground.
But the next moment, he was stunned.
Upon probing with divine sense, it was discovered that there were countless desert monsters below.
"this....."
He instantly understood why no one was hiding underground. It turned out that when the black sandstorm came, even the underground conditions of the desert changed drastically. Such a high density of monsters was obviously not a spontaneous gathering, but rather they were swept up by the black sandstorm.
snort~
The next instant, before the formation could close, the underground monsters that had entered the formation began to leap up one after another from beneath the desert.
The group was on high alert and swiftly and cleanly killed dozens of demonic beasts, clearly demonstrating their experience.
It was at this moment that the black sandstorm finally arrived.
"This is......"
Zhao Mu was horrified to discover that this so-called black sandstorm was not a simple sandstorm at all; it was filled with countless demonic beasts, which were flying insects the size of a little finger joint, and were completely black.
dong dong dong~
Boom boom~
Boom boom boom~
Not only was the black sandstorm attacking fiercely, but the demonic beasts were also like a pack of wolves with bloodshot eyes, recklessly crashing into the protective formation.
"This is not the way to go!"
Zhao Mu's expression grew increasingly solemn, because he felt that although Yanlan's defensive formation was only a seventh-grade formation, it was unlikely to withstand the black sandstorm. Sure enough, a crack appeared in the defensive formation shortly afterward.
Boom~
The three Void Realm cultivators who were originally assisting Yanlan in controlling the formation were sent flying backwards, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, their faces turning deathly pale.
"What should we do now?"
Everyone panicked, because at this moment they realized that the formation was unlikely to withstand the erosion of the black sandstorm, and once exposed to the black sandstorm, most people would not be able to survive it.
Even Lu Ran and the other three were completely unsure.
Zhao Mu remained silent. In his opinion, burrowing underground was actually the best option. After all, being underground in the desert meant he wouldn't have to deal with the black sandstorms, only the local monsters, which would save him a lot of trouble.
Of course, no one knows what kind of monsters are underground in the desert. The fear of the unknown makes everyone who encounters a black sandstorm afraid to easily go underground.
"Little Sword King, what should we do?"
"Yes, Little Sword King, if we are exposed to the black sandstorm, our chances of survival are extremely slim."
"..."
Everyone placed their hopes on Yanlan.
As for Zhao Mu, he's practically invisible; he won't take the initiative to speak.
However, Yanlan quickly suggested, "Everyone, go underground. The formation is about to collapse."
"this......"
"Beneath the desert lie countless unknown monsters, making it no less dangerous than a black sandstorm."
"With the formation broken and exposed to the black sandstorm, the survival rate is less than 30%, so it's better to take the risk."
"..."
At first, most people were unwilling to go underground, but as the cracks in the defensive formation grew larger and more numerous, their mindset began to change.
Zhao Mu glanced at the group of timid fellows and couldn't help but shake his head. He could clearly sense that the formation could only last for ten more breaths before it completely collapsed. At that time, it would be difficult to even escape underground.
He quietly found a spot and burrowed underground.
"This person..."
"Are you that bold?"
"You just disappear underground like that? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"It's good that someone can be used as cannon fodder to test the dangers underground in the desert. If he's not dead, we'll go down with him."
"..."
Almost everyone treated Zhao Mu as a guinea pig.
One breath, two breaths... nine breaths...
Nine breaths passed, and Zhao Mu was still alive, which made everyone's eyes light up.
At that very moment, the defensive formation shattered.
