Before the roar could end, several more roars rang out.
There was a roar for a moment, and the yellow sand in the sky quickly shrank inward. In the blink of an eye, only seven monster beasts with a height of several feet were left in the place that was originally filled with yellow sand.
Among them are two huge lizards that are three to four feet long, a giant snake that is more than ten feet long with its head raised high, two giant scorpions that are more than three feet long, a mouse that is more than ten feet tall, and a leg It is a giant bird with an exceptionally long neck and wings that are much smaller than its body.
At their feet were hundreds of people in ragged clothes, with sallow faces and skinny muscles. They must have been the people they abducted from Shaliu Town.
From a distance, all the monsters and the desert beneath their feet are the same color, as if they are all made of yellow sand.
At this time, these huge monster beasts were glaring at Bu Xiaotian and Mo Li who suddenly attacked them. If ordinary people were stared at by so many huge monster beasts, their minds would probably have collapsed.
After all, Bu Xiaotian and Mo Li have good cultivation skills, so they will not be easily scared.
While the monsters were looking at them, they were also observing the sudden appearance of the monsters.
Somewhat strangely, although both of them could feel the extremely powerful demonic energy emanating from them, they could not feel the slightest bit of life from them, as if they were facing a group of dead creatures.
The two sides faced off for a moment, and the largest giant snake suddenly opened its mouth and roared, but the sound it made was not like a snake at all:
"Roar--"
The giant snake's voice fell, and several other monster beasts seemed to have received some instructions. They opened their mouths to respond at the same time, and suddenly ran towards Bu Xiaotian and Mo Li.
Judging from the momentum, it seemed that they were going to crush these two little bugs who dared to attack them into pieces in one fell swoop.
Before the monster beasts could reach Bu Xiaotian and Mo Li, they both made seals at the same time, and the magic weapon that had been retracted in their hands shot out again, hitting the fastest giant lizard.
The giant lizard didn't seem to see the two magic weapons hitting its head. It didn't even want to dodge and just hit them.
But in the blink of an eye, the two magic weapons collided with the giant lizard's head.
Just two "puff" sounds were heard, and the long sword and green leaves were submerged into the giant lizard's head.
But what surprised the two was that, apart from stirring up some yellow sand, there was no blood or brains splattering as they had imagined.
Although the two of them were surprised, the movements of their hands were not slow at all. Seeing that the giant lizard was not killed with a single blow, the techniques in their hands suddenly changed.
Almost at the same time, the giant lizard suddenly stopped running and fell heavily to the ground. Then, green light of different shades came out of its body, but in an instant it was divided into countless pieces. .
The fragments flew away in all directions, but they did not fly very far before turning into yellow sand.
It turns out that these monsters are actually made of yellow sand, which is very appropriate for the word "sand monster".
The other monsters also stopped because of this incident, and seemed to be frightened.
But Bu Xiaotian and Mo Li would not stop because they stopped. The long swords emitting dark cyan light and the light green blades took advantage of this gap and flashed past them like two lightning bolts. In a short time, all the monsters except for the giant snake at the end that had not come forward were scattered into yellow sand that filled the sky.
After easily getting rid of the six monsters, Bu Xiaotian didn't show the slightest hint of joy, but instead frowned.
Compared with the demonic energy he felt from these demonic beasts before, the strength displayed by these demonic beasts was too weak!
Sure enough, just as Bu Xiaotian was about to use his long sword to hit the last giant snake, the yellow sand turned into by the six monster beasts did not fall to the ground, just like after they broke up the sand wall before. Likewise, the yellow sand condensed into six monster beasts again!
In Bu Xiaotian's feeling, the auras of these six monster beasts have not changed at all, as if they were not the ones who were scattered just now.
Seeing this scene, Bu Xiaotian and Mo Li were shocked in their hearts. They immediately took back their magic weapons and scattered their figures again.
But just like the previous situation, they returned to their original state in the blink of an eye.
The two men's attacks had no effect at all. Instead, the six monster beasts got closer and closer to them.
These monsters are actually unkillable!
For a while, the two of them couldn't find a way to restrain these sand monsters.
But both of them knew that they must not let the sand monsters get close to them. If they were surrounded by them, they would either be consumed to death, or they would be caught by these sand monsters after running out of energy, and become like those behind the giant snake. Human beings are in the same situation.
The two of them were fighting and retreating, but they were worried that the sand demon would give up the pursuit if they were too far away, so they stepped in to borrow more power.
In that case, there will probably be no chance to rescue those who were caught.
They had no choice but to take a few sand demons and go around in circles in this desert while testing them with various spells and techniques.
But what makes the two of them a little frustrated is that no matter what method they use to break up the bodies of these sand monsters, they will condense into shape again in a very short time. Even the thunder method that Bu Xiaotian is best at has no effect at all. .
After struggling for a while, Bu Xiaotian suddenly felt an emptiness of the true energy in his body. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly consumed most of the true energy in his body!
Turning to look at Mo Li, I saw that she was also pale, but the look on her face showed no concern, not even a trace of change!
Something's wrong!
Bu Xiaotian immediately noticed something strange. According to his original plan, he would retreat immediately if he felt he was losing. He would never let his energy be consumed to such an extent. However, he was unknowingly affected by it. !
Mo Li looked even more serious. Bu Xiaotian took a closer look at her expression and found that her expression had not changed at all, and she was obviously not awake yet.
Bu Xiaotian shouted loudly:
"Mo Li! Wake up!"
But his voice was easily covered by the roar of the sand demon. As he stepped back, he stretched out his hand and hit Mo Li's Shenting acupoint with a stream of infuriating energy.
Stimulated by this energy, Mo Li's eyes suddenly looked confused, but she soon woke up. Then her expression suddenly changed, and she obviously noticed something was wrong.
After Mo Li woke up, he immediately approached Bu Xiaotian, and soon the two of them met.
But before Mo Li could say anything, a sudden change occurred!
The figures of the six sand monsters suddenly dispersed and turned into overwhelming yellow sand.
Bu Xiaotian and Mo Li suddenly felt heart palpitations, and immediately turned around and wanted to stay away.
But when they turned around, they found that the surroundings had been covered with yellow sand for some time, and they could no longer see anything except each other.
The surrounding yellow sand was slowly gathering towards the two of them, but their spells hitting the yellow sand were like mud cows entering the sea, making no waves.
Under this situation, the two of them no longer dared to sacrifice the magic weapon rashly, so they could only hold it tightly in their hands.
Within a moment, the two of them felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and every move became extremely difficult. In the end, they were unable to move at all.
Almost at the same time, the two of them felt their eyes go dark and lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, but Bu Xiaotian suddenly felt his whole body relax, and all the restrictions on his body disappeared.
He immediately circulated his true energy, but found that his body was empty, and he seemed to have become an ordinary person without any cultivation.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw people in ragged clothes all around him, and Mo Li was lying not far from him, looking like he was still unconscious.
He looked up, and what he saw was not the sky, but a dome made of condensed yellow sand. The dome was inlaid with some strange round stones emitting white light, which was similar to the wine cellar where the owner of the Shatuo Tavern had previously hidden. Like the cobblestones in it.
Thinking of everything that had happened before, he finally understood that they had also been captured by the sand demon!
Bu Xiaotian looked around, trying to find the sand demon he encountered earlier, but there was no trace of the sand demon around at all, only a strange altar in the open space in front of him.
The altar looked very old, with some inexplicable lines carved on it.
In the middle of the altar is a blood-colored crystal stone the size of a fist. The crystal stone emits a strange red light. The patterns on the altar look quite eerie and strange under the red light.
Bu Xiaotian stared at the altar for a long time, feeling faintly dizzy. He quickly looked away and looked around.
Although most of the people around him had their eyes open, they all looked numb and sat on the ground silently or even motionless, appearing completely silent.
It seems like he is the only one awake in this place now.
Bu Xiaotian stood up and walked to Mo Li, grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently, trying to wake her up.
While he was doing these actions, there was still no movement around him. No matter it was the people around him or the sand demon hiding in the dark, there was no reaction at all.
After some shaking, Mo Li finally opened his eyes, but before Bu Xiaotian was overjoyed, he found that Mo Li's eyes were empty, exactly like the people around him.
Mo Li's mind was also taken away!
Bu Xiaotian refused to give up and tried for a long time, but in the end it was all in vain.
He had no choice but to get up and search around, trying to find a way out.
But after walking around for a long time, he found that although the surrounding walls and floors were made of yellow sand, they were indestructible and there was no way out at all.
He couldn't even find the way for so many people to come in!
Finally, he set his sights on the altar and the strange blood-colored crystal. The only two things here looked the most unusual.
So he stepped towards the altar, but when he was one foot away from the altar, it was difficult to move forward even half a step, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him.
He changed several directions, but the result was the same. An invisible force firmly protected the altar.
In the end, he realized that he couldn't do anything about the altar. Bu Xiaotian finally gave up trying and sat back beside Mo Li to wait quietly.
No matter what the purpose of the sand monsters is in catching so many people, they will definitely take action later, and they might be able to find a chance to escape by then.
So Bu Xiaotian sat next to Mo Li to recharge his batteries while secretly paying attention to the changes around him.
During this period, he kept trying his luck, hoping to find out the reason for his total loss of cultivation, but after trying for a long time, the true energy in his body seemed to disappear out of thin air, without any reaction.
After trying to no avail, he began to wonder why everyone around him had lost their consciousness and only he was awake.
Since he was the only one whose mind was not controlled, it meant that he was different from others, but he thought about it, but he didn't have the slightest clue.
Just when he had been waiting for a long time and even felt an inexplicable irritability, something strange suddenly appeared on the altar.
A small half of the blood-colored crystal stone originally embedded in the middle of the altar slowly rose up, hung three feet above the altar, and began to rotate slowly.
While the blood-colored crystal continued to rotate, the blood light it emitted also began to slowly flicker brightly and darkly like breathing.
The flickering blood-colored light shone on Bu Xiaotian. Bu Xiaotian felt that his mind was getting increasingly unclear, as if there was a fog trying to cloud his mind.
Bu Xiaotian noticed all this, and immediately wanted to concentrate on resisting the invasion of this strange red light, but at this time, he only felt that his thoughts were flowing several times slower than usual, and he could only feel helplessly that his thoughts were getting worse and worse. Huddled thoughts.
Suddenly, Bu Xiaotian thought of the Qingxin Jue.
This Qingxin Jue is a formula recorded in the "Tian Jing". Whenever he feels that the thoughts in his heart are complicated and irritable, he will silently recite this formula of no more than a hundred words, and it can have immediate results every time.
He began to recite the Qingxin Jue silently in his heart, hoping that he could be as invincible as before and get rid of the fog that shrouded his heart.
The Qingxin Jue did not disappoint him. When he was halfway through reciting it, he felt that his thoughts were no longer becoming chaotic. As he continued to recite silently, he became more and more clear-headed. In the end, the red light was completely It can no longer affect his mind.
But the situation didn't get better. Whenever he stopped, the red light would continue to try to invade his mind, so he could only recite the Qingxin Jue silently over and over again.
He turned to look at the people around him and saw that everyone was sitting cross-legged. Even the previously unconscious people opened their eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground facing the altar.
Whether it was the reflection of the blood-colored crystal or Bu Xiaotian's illusion, he seemed to see those people's eyes also lighting up with red light, flickering with the light of the blood-colored crystal.
He turned to look at Mo Li beside him and saw that her behavior was the same as everyone else's.
Bu Xiaotian's heart tightened, knowing that Mo Li was also affected by the red light of the blood crystal, he stood in front of her and opened his robe to separate her from the blood crystal.
But he soon realized that doing so was in vain. Even though he blocked the direction of the blood-colored crystal, there was still red light shining on Mo Li.
Only then did he realize that at some point, even the white boulders above his head had turned blood-red, constantly flashing the same blood-red light, making the place look blood-red.
Even if Bu Xiaotian tried his best, he couldn't cover all the red light.
I don’t know how long it took, but the blood-colored crystal flashed faster and brighter. When the red light reached an extreme point, the blood-colored crystal on the altar finally stopped flickering and emitted a constant strange red light. .
