The caravan set off. Twelve huge sand lizards and camel beasts lined up in a long line, passing through the gate of Mingshafang City one by one, and headed north.
Although the sand lizard camel beast is huge in size, it looks extremely clumsy. But in the desert, their traveling speed is not too slow.
The sand lizard camel beast's wide feet stepped heavily on the sand, leaving deep footprints. The huge body seemed to move forward slowly and steadily.
Controlling the sand lizard camel beast is not a very complicated matter. It only requires some simple commands and they will move in one direction honestly.
This simple job can be done by anyone.
On top of each sand lizard camel beast, several mortal drivers were arranged to take turns driving the sand lizard camel beast forward.
There are also more than ten cultivators in the caravan as guards, all of whom are masters in the middle or late stages of Qi refining.
They all ride various mounts, basically all kinds of riding monsters.
After leaving Mingshafang City, there is no need to worry about the terrain of Fang City, and the sand lizards and camel beasts do not need to line up in a row.
Since the place in the desert is relatively open, the sand lizards and camel beasts lined up in two rows and marched hand in hand.
The caravan guards all dispersed on their respective mounts.
There were three faster guards running far ahead, probably to explore the way.
Although it was a familiar road that had been traveled many times, the caravan did not dare to be too careless.
There are too many dangers hidden in the endless sea of sand.
The remaining guards circled around the caravan to provide vigilance and protection.
Meng Zhang rode the wind-chasing horse and ran to the left side of the caravan. As the master, Lao Binglu also rode a monster beast to accompany Meng Zhang.
"Senior Lao is really too polite. This junior is a little flattered."
"Head Meng is the head of the dignified Taiyi Sect. Maybe there will be opportunities for me and Head Meng to cooperate in the future."
Traveling all over the country and doing business for many years, he has broad knowledge and witty words. He is a very interesting old man who is very easy to like.
He nourished his Qi and transferred his body to nourish his body. Not long after Meng Zhang took over as the leader of Taiyi Sect, he had already developed some of the magnanimity of the leader. While chatting with Lao Bu, he showed no timidity at all.
It didn't take long for the two of them to chat happily and feel like they were old friends at first sight.
Both of them are interested in making friends with each other.
Lao's actions are mainly based on businessman's instinct. Many friends lead to many paths.
Meng Zhang thought that Taiyi Sect currently had no other fixed income except the production of Lingtian. If a sect wants to develop and grow, it must develop more financial resources.
Although Meng Zhang earned a large amount of spiritual stones from picking up leaks in Mingshafang City this time, the entire sect cannot rely on him alone.
Meng Zhang already had a plan in mind. This time he returned to Taiyi Sect and planned to strictly regulate the sect's system and separate public and private income.
During the conversation with Lao Bulu, Meng Zhang not only inquired about some major news from the words, but also hoped to obtain some business opportunities.
Although they talked for a long time, Meng Zhang didn't get what he wanted, but the relationship between the two became more harmonious.
Come to think of it, how can business opportunities be so easy to obtain?
Although the sand lizard camel beast is not slow, it has to stop and take a rest every half a day.
After walking around for a day, Meng Zhang estimated that he had walked hundreds of miles.
At night, the caravan found a place with its back against a large sand dune and prepared to stop and spend the night.
For slow caravans, there are more dangers in the desert at night than during the day.
During the first two days on the road, I didn't encounter any accidents on the road, and the journey was uneventful.
No one will be bored. When the caravan is out, all it wants is peace.
On the morning of the third day, before dawn, the caravan set off again.
Not long after the caravan set out on the road, a stream of light flew from a distance, which was transformed into a messenger talisman. It flew over from a distance and fell directly into Lao Bulu's hands.
After receiving the information in the communication talisman, Lao Bulu's expression changed drastically. He didn't bother to talk to Meng Zhang. He immediately called out and gathered all the guards around him.
"The situation is not good. The scouts ahead discovered a group of sand monsters coming towards this direction."
At this moment, Lao Bingwei had a stern expression on his face, completely different from the kind little old man just now.
Sand monsters are as terrifying to cultivators in the endless sand sea as the plague in the eyes of mortals.
No one knows the specific origin of the sand monster, let alone the details of its birth.
Not long after cultivators appeared in the Endless Sand Sea, sand monsters appeared in the Endless Sand Sea.
The sand monster hates cultivators extremely, and will pursue them relentlessly whenever they meet a cultivator.
In the great desert, nests of sand monsters often appear suddenly in hidden places.
As time goes by, more and more sand monsters will be born in the nest. When the number reaches a certain level, the sand monsters will leave the nest in groups and go out to hunt cultivators.
There were also senior cultivators who tried to communicate with the sand monster, but to no avail.
The sand monster is a monster with no independent intelligence, only various instincts.
Hunting cultivators is the sand monster's greatest instinct.
Sand monsters have been raging in the endless sand sea for a long time. The cultivators killed by the sand monsters and the cultivator families and sects destroyed have already been too numerous to count.
At that time, after the second reconstruction of the Taiyi Sect, although there was no real Jindan to suppress it, it was still guarded by many foundation-building monks.
But faced with the sudden influx of countless sand monsters, they still couldn't escape the fate of destruction.
Fifteen years ago, a large group of sand monsters also appeared in the area around Taiyi Gate, causing many families and sects to suffer.
Shuangfeng Valley summoned vassal forces to destroy these sand monsters together.
In the series of battles, Taiyi Sect suffered heavy losses, losing all the elders in the late stage of Qi Refining.
The Zhao family, which had always been at odds with the Taiyi Sect, directly lost the only foundation-building monk in the family.
The reason why Meng Zhang took over as the leader of Taiyi Sect at such a young age is because some time ago, the old leader of Taiyi Sect, Taoist Master Xuanling, died in the battle against the sand monster.
For Taiyimen, the sand monster is a lingering nightmare.
Meng Zhang, who had always been calm, turned a little pale when he heard the news about the appearance of the sand monster.
In the world of cultivation, it is not that there are no big sects that have organized large-scale eradication of sand monsters.
But the sand monsters are just like cockroaches and cannot be killed at all.
After the sand monster's nest is destroyed, a new nest will be born soon.
Of course, no matter how hard the sand monster cannot be completely eliminated, as long as the sand monster shows up in the endless sea of sand, the surrounding cultivation forces will immediately organize a cleanup to prevent the disaster from spreading.
