Stepping onto the yellow sand, my feet felt soft, and half of my feet sank into it.
Zhou Qiankun faced the sunset and walked forward in the desert. The setting sun cast a long shadow behind him.
The desert wind blew on my face, burning and drying it.
He took out the map, looked at the distance, and then looked at the sky.
The sun has completely set in the west.
Zhou Qiankun found a low valley and set up a tent on the spot.
He took out the purple talisman that Dugu Xiaolang gave him and looked at it carefully.
This purple talisman is engraved with dense runes, containing complex spatial mysteries.
It made him dizzy, but he couldn't see the way out.
He shook his head and put away the purple talisman.
It doesn't matter if he can't understand it now. He awakens the power of a great avenue every year, and sooner or later he will be able to master the great avenue of space.
By then, he will be able to compose space runes that are thousands of times more sophisticated than this.
Zhou Qiankun was secretly grateful for Dugu Xiaolang's concern and felt lucky to have such a friend.
Under the moonlight, a dragon chariot traveled through the air and entered the desert.
This scene is not surprising to passers-by.
They just looked at each other briefly and went about their business again.
In the dead of night, Zhou Qiankun was lying in the tent, looking up at the stars in the sky.
The starry sky in the desert is not obscured by dark clouds and is very bright.
Lying in the desert, the stars seemed much closer.
A blue star curtain, dotted with stars, and occasionally colorful aurora in some places, make this beautiful scenery even more beautiful.
Zhou Qiankun raised his hand and touched the stars in the sky.
"Shen Xi, do you think there are countless worlds like the Holy Spirit Continent above the starry sky? Are all the races in the sky living there?"
The boundless starry sky can always arouse people's curiosity and fantasy.
The stars condensed, and Shen Xi was like the daughter of the stars. She was dressed in a long blue dress, just like the color of the starry sky.
This is the second time she has gathered her spiritual body.
She slowly lay down next to Zhou Qiankun and looked up at the stars in the sky.
The starry sky is beautiful, but people are even more beautiful.
Shen Xi smiled softly, her eyes sparkling like stars, as if the entire starry sky was caught in her eyes.
"The starry sky is dangerous and mysterious. From ancient times to the present, only gods can explore it. With your current strength, it is better not to touch the starry sky."
Zhou Qiankun tilted his head and looked at this prosperous appearance.
"Why?"
Shen Xi smiled, his eyes were too deep to be seen through.
"Because the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is."
Shen Xi touched Zhou Qiankun's forehead, leaving a gentle smile, which then turned into starlight and dissipated in the yellow sand under the star curtain.
Zhou Qiankun felt a little empty in his heart as he watched Shen Xi disappear.
Looking at the starry sky, the desire to explore becomes more and more intense.
He shook his head to suppress the throbbing.
Shen Xi was right, he couldn't even fly now, let alone fly out of the Holy Spirit Continent and travel through the endless starry sky.
The next day, the sun rose in the east, and the warm sunshine dispelled the chill of the desert.
Zhou Qiankun picked up his luggage and embarked on his journey again.
Half a day later, Zhou Qiankun was walking among the yellow sand in the sky. The closer he got to the center, the stronger the wind and sand became.
There are no signs of life around, not even poisonous scorpions or snakes can survive.
The environment is so bad that people have no desire to stay for even a minute.
The wind is blowing loudly, the world is yellow, and it is difficult to see the way forward.
Zhou Qiankun put on his goggles and reluctantly continued to move forward.
With great effort, Zhou Qiankun passed through the sandstorm and arrived at the place indicated on the map.
There is a cave two people wide, with hot steam rising from the ground.
Just standing outside was already dripping with sweat.
Zhou Qiankun circulated the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Art, and a coolness surged through his body.
Glancing down, I saw a winding downward passage leading to the source of heat.
Zhou Qiankun jumped into the cave and continued downward along the passage.
The further down you go, the higher the temperature gets, reaching seventy or eighty degrees.
There was the sound of lava flowing in front of him, and Zhou Qiankun sped up and ran over.
At the end of the cave is scalding magma. The magma is emitting scalding heat, making the temperature in the space unbearably hot.
On the edge of the magma, seven or eight red ginseng plants grow.
Grilled ginseng!
Zhou Qiankun was overjoyed, and after a lot of hard work, he finally found it.
Zhou Qiankun walked to the roasted ginseng in a joyful mood, taking two steps in three steps.
He reached out and pulled out a ginseng.
Holding the roasted ginseng, a warm current poured into the body, and the spiritual energy throughout the body was restless and purified by this hot current.
"What a terrifying medicinal property. Just contact with it has such an effect. After taking it, the aura throughout the body will become extremely pure."
Put the roasted ginseng into the Shenxi Spiritual Garden. This kind of good thing must be cultivated carefully and eaten as a snack in the future.
The corner of Zhou Qiankun's mouth curled up. When the time comes, beating fellow monks will be as easy as eating and drinking.
After picking all the roasted ginseng, Zhou Qiankun rolled his sleeves and turned to leave.
This place is too hot and hot, and staying here for a long time is not good for your health.
"Now turn around and leave, just rub your hands baby."
Zhou Qiankun stepped forward with his right foot and paused, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
What does Shen Xi mean?
Shen Xi's voice once again appeared in Zhou Qiankun's mind.
"Missed baby."
A black line appeared on Zhou Qiankun's brow.
This Shen Xi is really hard to talk to.
Don't dare to refute, otherwise you will be struck by lightning.
Zhou Qiankun smiled bitterly and said: "What do you mean? Where are the treasures?"
Shen Xi's soft voice came.
"Jump in."
Zhou Qiankun looked around in confusion.
Where to jump?
Then, he looked at the hot magma and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Shen Xi, are you serious?"
That is magma with a temperature of several thousand degrees. If he jumps in, there will be no ashes left.
Shen Xi remained silent, as if she didn't want to answer his question.
Zhou Qiankun struggled in his mind. The treasure that could make Shen Xi take the initiative to speak must be extraordinary.
Moreover, Shen Xi would not harm herself if she let herself jump in.
Zhou Qiankun took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and jumped.
The body sank into the lava, but the burning pain that he imagined did not come.
Zhou Qiankun opened his eyes and looked at his body.
A gentle force enveloped him, separating the magma.
There was a lot of red all around, and his vision was greatly obstructed.
Wearing goggles makes the vision a little clearer.
"Swim downstream until the end."
Shen Xi's gentle voice soothed Zhou Qiankun's tense nerves, and he relaxed completely.
Open your arms and swim downstream.
Swimming in lava was his first experience.
The resistance is several times greater than in water.
The further downstream, the higher the temperature, but Shen Xi's power is unbreakable. Even if the temperature reaches tens of thousands of degrees, it cannot melt through the protective layer.
Zhou Qiankun became more and more curious: "Shen Xi, what state are you in?"
Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Qiankun's mind.
