These desert monsters have one eye and are shining with a weird blue light. Their eyesight may not be very good and they cannot see too far away. They are spinning around. They obviously rely on their sense of smell to sense, but the smells here are many and mixed, so It is difficult to confirm the smell of Ye Xing and others.
But soon, the unretracted flying knife was surrounded by strange insects in the sand, sniffing around and making strange screams from time to time.
Ye Xing and the others thought that this might be what happened to these strange insects, so they were not too worried. They just stared silently at the group of evil and extremely ugly insects.
But obviously not. Soon, these strange insects began to swim towards the old city wall where Ye Xing and others were standing, and they were extremely agile and crawled in the direction of Ye Xing. It can be seen that the strange insects quickly moved away from the flying knife. He identified Ye Xing's scent and confirmed that Ye Xing was the murderer.
In the dark night, several strange insects suddenly jumped into the air and flew towards Ye Xing.
Ye Xing waved his right hand, and several silver needles flew out. Hearing a squeaking scream, a few strange insects fell, but soon, more strange insects bounced up.
Ye Xing only said, "Let's go!" The four of them jumped off the old city wall and ran towards the outside of the city. With their light skills, they quickly stopped more than ten miles away. The two eagles were already in the air. Soon they came to the place where the four people stayed.
Qin Xinyue was a little scared and said, "These things are so disgusting. Why did you run away just now? Why don't you set fire to them?"
Qi Ming nodded and said, "Oh my god, these strange insects are really powerful. They can actually confirm the master's actions!"
Ye Xing said, "I don't have many silver needles. Once I use them, they will be gone! There is no need to set fire. After all, we are just passing by. It's just that we have to find the three horses at dawn. Otherwise, the horses will die in a few days." here!"
Qin Jingxuan said, "It's almost dawn. It seems that these strange insects may not be active during the day. The number may not be too many. If there were many, we would have been surrounded long ago."
There was yellow sand as far as the eye could see, and the four of them did not dare to lie down and rest. There was nowhere to go, so they had to stand.
Ye Xing let go of his consciousness and scanned the area over and over again, but found nothing special. However, when he was on the city wall just now, he vaguely felt a trace of his consciousness staring at him, so he left quickly.
After a few miles away from the ancient city, Ye Xing felt that the weak sense of consciousness was gone. Now there should be no danger more than ten miles away.
Ye Xing suspected that those strange insects were commanded by that spiritual consciousness, otherwise the tiny heads of the strange insects would not have such wisdom.
The four of them stood with their backs to the wind, chatting quietly, and paying full attention to the surrounding situation. The wind and sand were very strong.
Ye Xing unfolded his coat and used his inner strength to form a small barrier, blocking the wind and sand, allowing the three of them to stand on one side of him.
After chatting, it got daylight, the wind subsided, and there was no flying dust. Ye Xing took out some water and dry food, and the four of them started to eat.
The three of them were very happy all the way. It was as wonderful as a vacation, but now they felt a little desolate.
When the sky was completely bright and the sun was already shining on the lonely ancient city, the four of them slowly walked back to the ancient city, wanting to take a closer look at the entire ancient city and also want to find the three horses.
Returning to the city wall where they stayed last night, the four of them did not dare to go down to the sand, so they stood on the city wall and looked inside.
The four people were shocked to find that the dead horse had disappeared, no bones were left, and all the blood stains in the sand were gone.
If the strange bugs were blood-sucking, then they should have left behind the horse's body, but now that it was all gone, there was only one possibility, that is, those strange bugs had eaten all the horse's body, not even leaving any bones.
What terrible monsters. The number may actually be huge. They don't come out during the day, maybe because they are afraid of light.
Ye Xing unfolded his consciousness and enveloped the entire ancient city. There was no powerful aura, and there was no aura of strange insects nearby. The wind and sand overnight had changed all the scenes on the ground, and the three horses were also missing.
Ye Xing's spiritual consciousness contacted the two eagles to check the three horses in the air. As a result, the two eagles sent the message that they had not found them, but the two eagles made a discovery in the air. There was a strange place in the ancient city. What was it? The two eagles said no. clear.
Ye Xing stood on the old city wall for a while and took a closer look at the entire ancient city with a telescope. In the direction indicated by the two eagles, through the telescope, he saw a ruined palace. It was obviously once an extremely luxurious place. Although All the buildings are gone, but the jade-white stones on the ground can be sure to have been extremely luxurious.
Ye Xing concentrated all his spiritual consciousness and extended it. The location was probably at the northwest corner of the ancient city. His spiritual consciousness was blocked there and could no longer be scanned. That was the place where he felt protected by the formation last night.
Ye Xing said seriously to the three of them, "Let's go over there. The two birds have discovered something, but we must hold weapons and be careful."
In the past few years, Ye Xing has basically not spoken in such a tone. The three of them were all stunned, but they soon understood that Ye Xing's cautious look meant that the situation in the place he was going to was indeed unknown, and they all nodded in agreement.
The four of them started Qinggong, released their spiritual consciousness, and moved in that direction.
The whole city was filled with sand and ruins. There was no intact building at all. Ye Xing did a simple inspection on each building, but found nothing.
Soon they arrived at the location of the ancient imperial city identified by Ye Xing, and the two eagles were fixed in the sky above this place.
The wall of the imperial city was also broken. They jumped on the wall and looked inside. The four of them found that it was a little green here, a small patch of grass. Sure enough, this place was a bit special. At least there was very little groundwater, otherwise it would be impossible for grass to grow.
Ye Xing walked slowly along the wall, looking and sensing. Sure enough, he found that there was a place blocking his spiritual consciousness in the nearby underground. Generally, Ye Xing's spiritual consciousness could vaguely penetrate three feet underground, but this obstacle was only two feet underground. .
Ye Xing jumped off the wall, walked to the place where the consciousness was blocked, took out a shovel, and started shoveling the sand. The three of them thought about helping, but Ye Xing stopped him and said, "Pay attention to the situation around you and don't come down!"
Ye Xing's hands and feet were very fast. After pushing aside a foot of yellow sand, the roof of a building was revealed. Soon, Ye Xing accelerated the progress. After half an hour, the roof of this small building was completely revealed. , turned out to be many pieces of glazed tiles, extremely luxurious.
Ye Xing looked inside from the glazed tiles and found that there was no sand inside. This small building was just a small room, but because it was complete, it was not damaged.
Ye Xing wanted to reach out and uncover it, but found that there was a small force blocking his hand. Ye Xingqiang stretched out his hand, but still touched the tiles, and the small blocking force was of no use.
Ye Xing uncovered a few tiles, looked inside, and found a futon inside. There was nothing else, but it was extremely clean, probably because it was protected by the formation and dust could not enter.
Leafstar uncovered more tiles and jumped inside.
Because there is light, it is very bright, and you can see clearly inside. It is a small training room, and the design and use of this protective formation are painted on the surrounding walls.
Ye Xing has learned the formation for a month and has some understanding. The formation is to use a kind of energy to delineate an interval so that it cannot be invaded. Generally, it requires a lot of energy.
But this formation is different from the one I had with Old Man Zhang last time. That old man used mechanism design and added some poisons to realize the formation. It was just a real physical isolation, and it was supported by spiritual stones. The purpose of the formation should be to isolate spiritual consciousness.
It is certain that this is a place for cultivation, so it is to isolate the spiritual consciousness. Ye Xing quickly copied the formation with pen and paper. It may be useful in the future.
Ye Xing picked up the futon and found that there was a trap under the futon. He opened the trap and found a small hole underneath, only a few feet in size, with a small cloth bag.
Ye Xing picked up the small cloth bag and found that it contained something, but it could not be opened.
After thinking about it, Ye Xing tried it with his spiritual consciousness, and sure enough, it worked. When his spiritual consciousness entered it, he found that it was a space bag. It was very small, with several books and a dozen small stones, and it was full of aura.
Ye Xing immediately recognized that this was a spirit stone. Although he had never owned a spirit stone, he still understood it.
After searching again and finding nothing, Ye Xing put the futon and small cloth bag into the space ring and jumped out.
Ye Xing placed all the tiles as they were, and soon the power to block spiritual consciousness came back, not big, but still working.
This ancient training room has not been destroyed entirely because of the protection of the formation. However, under the protection of the formation, spiritual stones are consumed. The current extremely weak protection also means that the spiritual stones supported by the formation will be exhausted and cannot be used. How long will it take until everything will be destroyed by the yellow sand?
Ye Xing used a shovel to push back the yellow sand a little. It was still lightly covered under the yellow sand, and there was no protection from the sand several feet thick.
