After returning to Taiyimen, since he knew that someone was watching him outside, he was not busy going out.
First, he refined the fire talisman purchased in Mingshafang City, and then slowly waited for the opportunity in the door.
More than half a month later, the opportunity Meng Zhang had been waiting for finally came.
Starting last night, strong winds blew in the area around Taiyi Gate, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky and turning it into a huge sandstorm that swept hundreds of miles around.
The Endless Sand Sea, especially the area where Taiyi Gate is located, is considered a very remote area in the Endless Sand Sea.
It is surrounded by endless desert plains, not even slightly higher mountains, only some sand dunes, not to mention any forest vegetation.
As soon as a strong wind blows, the sky will be filled with wind and sand dancing wildly. You can't see your fingers in the wild, and all you can see is a cloud of wind and sand.
Especially when huge sandstorms occur, undefended oases can be easily submerged.
Throughout the year, sandstorms like this will break out from time to time, which has become a major feature of the endless sand sea.
Meng Zhang stood on the small square in front of the sect's main hall, looking at the scene outside.
Between the sky and the earth, there is darkness, filled with endless yellow sand, with almost no gaps.
The howling wind made people's hearts tremble, and the yellow sand in the sky was constantly rolling like ocean waves.
At this time, Tian Zhen also came to Meng Zhang.
"Is there any problem with the protective array over at Sweetwater Oasis?"
"The spiritual power stored in the spiritual power nodes is still sufficient, and there are also enough spiritual stones stored to maintain the operation of the formation." Tian Zhen replied.
Although there is no complete spiritual vein in the Sweet Water Oasis, there are several spiritual power nodes.
The so-called spiritual veins are formed by connecting many spiritual power nodes.
In the Sweetwater Oasis, a protective array was set up based on these spiritual power nodes.
The magic circle is a first-level low-level magic circle that is common here in the Endless Sand Sea.
The defensive power of the magic circle is not strong, and its function is very simple. It is mainly to protect against sandstorm weather.
On weekdays, in order to save spiritual energy, the magic circle is closed.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual power nodes is also carefully stored.
Even the few Taiyi Sect old disciples in Sweet Water Oasis would not take the initiative to absorb the spiritual energy from the spiritual power nodes. At most, they just absorb a small amount of spiritual energy that is scattered in the oasis.
When there is a sandstorm, someone will take the initiative to open the magic circle to defend against the attack of the sandstorm.
If the supply of spiritual power at the spiritual power node is insufficient, some spiritual stones are stored in the Sweet Water Oasis, which can be used to drive the magic circle at critical moments.
In fact, any oasis in the endless sea of sand can be formed. In that oasis, there are usually at least spiritual power nodes.
Like some large oases outside, there are even complete spiritual veins inside the oasis.
Meng Zhang was still very relieved when Tian Zhen was doing things. Since there was no problem with the Sweet Water Oasis, he returned to the Quiet Room.
After the sandstorm blew for a long time, Meng Zhang secretly left Taiyimen without notifying anyone.
Out of caution, Meng Zhang used an earth escape talisman at the gate of Taiyi Gate and left underground.
The distance traveled underground using the Earth Escape Talisman generally does not exceed ten miles.
But because the surrounding underground is all very soft floating sand, there is no compact earth and stone structure. The distance Meng Zhang traveled underground this time was really much further than usual.
When a sandstorm breaks out, the strong wind in the wild can make people unable to stand still, and can even blow people away. In the wind and sand, it was even more difficult to see even one's fingers.
Under such weather conditions, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary cultivators in the Qi refining period are very taboo and will not go out easily.
Meng Zhang didn't believe it. The Zhao family's red-feathered eagle could still monitor the area around Taiyimen in such weather conditions.
After emerging from the ground, Meng Zhang used his Delusion-breaking Dharma Eye to identify the direction. After using the Light Body Technique Talisman and the Divine Movement Technique Talisman on his body, he ran towards the target.
With the Dharma Eye to Destroy Illusion, Meng Zhang doesn't have to worry about getting lost in the sandstorm. Moreover, with the talisman attached to him, he ran very fast.
Meng Zhang was very familiar with the terrain around Taiyi Gate.
He had also passed through the mine more than a hundred miles east of Taiyi Gate before.
This sandstorm spread over a wide area, and an area hundreds of miles in radius should have been greatly affected.
According to Meng Zhang's past experience, it is very possible for this sandstorm to last for several days or even ten days.
However, Meng Zhang still tried his best to speed up and try to complete the exploration of the mine before the sandstorm ended.
As it gradually moved away from the area where Taiyi Gate was located, the sandstorm did not weaken at all. But the terrain on the ground began to slowly change.
The ground began to become hard, and some desert began to appear. From time to time, you can still see a weathered hill.
As we approached the abandoned Baizang Earth Mine, the terrain began to become rugged and clearly entered a hilly area. There are more and more hills around.
In Meng Zhang's eyes, there was already some green on the ground, and occasionally there were some low shrubs and plants such as cacti.
Taking advantage of the cover of this sandstorm, Meng Zhang was very close to the abandoned mine.
The mine is backed by a hill hundreds of meters high. The mine goes deep into the ground and is said to be very deep.
The exit of the mine is also surrounded by several hills, blocking the exit.
Meng Zhang did not go in directly from the exit of the mine, but made a big circle and approached the abandoned mine from behind.
During this process, Meng Zhang used his Dharma Eye to observe his surroundings from time to time to make sure that no one noticed him.
In such sandstorm weather, the monitors probably won't always be there. Even if he is still there, he probably doesn't have the eyesight to penetrate the sandstorm.
The ability of the red-feathered eagle was rumored to be miraculous by the Zhao family, but I had never heard of this monster having the ability to see through things.
Although sandstorms are catastrophic weather in the endless sand sea, at this time, they have become Meng Zhang's best cover.
Meng Zhang came to the mountain wall behind the hill where the entrance to the mine was.
After observing the surroundings with the Delirium Dharma Eye for the last time, he used the Earth Escape Talisman.
Meng Zhang's body disappeared from the ground and began to travel underground.
Since all the underground is a very tight stone structure, the distance the Earth Escape Talisman travels underground is far less than ten miles, and the speed is very slow.
In the end, Meng Zhang penetrated the hill underground and entered the mine.
The Earth Escape Technique ended, and Meng Zhang's body appeared on the ground.
As soon as he showed his head, Meng Zhang felt a familiar aura that he had not seen for a long time.
