The Quicksand Domain is the most vast of the nine domains. It is vast and sparsely populated. Except for the large number of monsters and beasts, its other resources are far inferior to those of the other eight domains.
Therefore, there are not many Jindan monks and Nascent Soul monks here. Most of them are casual cultivators practicing Qi and building foundations, hunting monsters in the quicksand area.
Jiang Yuebai looked at the map. As soon as he came out of the pass, he climbed a few sand dunes to the northwest, which was the Silver Sand Sea. It was named because there was mineral powder in the sand and it would shine with silver light at night.
There are two major forces in Silver Sand Sea, one is the Buddhist sect's Huansheng Temple, and the other is the Wu sect's Fu Humen. The two factions compete for the territory near the Devil's City in the Silver Sand Sea, and there have been constant frictions over the years.
The Devil's City is the ruins of an ancient city deep in the Silver Sand Sea. It was eroded by wind and sand. The terrain inside is complex, with underground rivers and nests of various insects and beasts. There are also elixirs that often appear underground.
If neither of the two sects had the ability to clean out all the insect and beast nests in the Devil City, both sects would have taken root in the Devil City.
Without access, ordinary cultivators cannot enter the Devil City's insect nest to hunt monsters.
The wind howled, and Sha Yingjie rode a golden leopard at the front of the team. A dozen monks in the late stage of Qi training followed behind him, holding the magic weapons in their hands and looking at the yellow sand with vigilant eyes.
In the late stage of foundation building, Zhong Shanhu rode a camel to guard the left wing of the team. In the middle stage of foundation building, Yu Tianlie guarded the right wing of the team. Jiang Yuebai was placed at the end of the team.
Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie were not familiar with each other before. As veteran demon hunters who have been in the quicksand area for many years, the two of them are rich in experience and can often understand each other's meaning by making eye contact.
The team marched for most of the day, and the weather was calm. Jiang Yuebai had just yawned, when an attack under the yellow sand suddenly struck.
Dozens of huge and ugly sandworms suddenly rushed out from under the sand, opened their chrysanthemum-like mouths and bit everyone hard.
The crowd erupted in exclamations, and everyone scattered.
Jiang Yuebai jumped up from the camel, and the sandworm instantly bit the camel, raised its head and swallowed it, blood splattered everywhere.
"Ahhhh!!"
A qi-training monk was caught off guard and was swallowed by a sandworm. Several young qi-training monks who came out to hunt monsters for the first time were immediately frightened and turned pale.
"Don't mess around! Damn it!!"
Sha Yingjie shouted from the front, drew out his machete and stepped into the air, cutting off a sandworm with one blow.
Two foundation-building monks, Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie, had also begun to kill the sandworms. Cao Gang led the rest of the late-stage Qi-training monks to attack with anger and fight against the sandworms.
Fire bombs filled the sky, earth thorns were everywhere, and the sounds of fighting and the hissing of sandworms were endless.
boom! boom! boom!
Thunder fell from the sky, and Jiang Yuebai wandered in the yellow sand. His consciousness activated the earth thunder, which struck the sandworms one after another, causing their skin to burst open and their juices to splash out.
"Good thunder method!"
Cao Gang and others were amazed and let out a sound of admiration.
The two foundation-building monks Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie also looked deeply at Jiang Yuebai, especially her hands that didn't move much.
Confused and surprised.
With everyone working together to kill them, the sandworms were quickly killed, and the remaining few retracted into the sand and quickly disappeared.
Sha Yingjie put away her scimitar and scanned the crowd. When she saw several injured Qi Practitioners, she became angry.
"A bunch of trash!"
Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak. Cao Gang smiled bitterly and quickly asked everyone to deal with the injuries, harvest the materials from the sandworms, collect the sandworm souls, and prepare to continue on the road.
Sha Yingjie didn't pay attention to Jiang Yuebai's move just now. He thought she was using some kind of thunder talisman and couldn't help but sneer.
"There's no point rushing to perform. Women will only become a stumbling block on my journey to becoming a strong young master!"
After the battle, Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie looked at each other, and both shook their heads slightly to express that they had not seen Jiang Yuebai's seal just now.
The eyes of the two people suddenly became subtle. Casting spells without tricks was the ability of the Jindan monk. The two even began to doubt whether Jiang Yuebai was the real Jindan monk.
Jiang Yuebai didn't know what everyone was thinking. He stood there and recalled the process of casting the spell. The power of the earth thunder was still hindered by the spell cast by the divine consciousness.
"Five Thunder Zhengfa" is a high-level thunder method. Logically speaking, to deal with such low-level sandworms, a thunder can chop the sandworm into ashes, but it didn't, it only caused serious injuries.
And just in this short battle, with more than a dozen earth mines, her head began to feel dizzy.
The five-hundred-year-old immortal vines in the previous two sessions were still too few. They only increased the proficiency of the "Immortal Grass Sutra" by a thousand points. A total of ten thousand points were needed to increase the bloodline to level 6, which was still far away.
Jiang Yuebai had a premonition when she was practicing the "Immortal Grass Sutra" this time. She felt that when the Yunzhi grass bloodline reached level 6, some incredible changes would occur in her whole person, which made her anxious and looking forward to it.
But before that, it is urgent to obtain the essence to increase the strength of the soul.
The team quickly got back on the road. Yu Tianlie took the initiative to give up his camel to Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai thanked Yu Tianlie for his kindness and chose to walk on his own, still walking at the back of the team.
The road behind was very uneven. In just a dozen miles, we encountered five monster attacks. In addition to sandworms, there were also sand chrysalis snakes and other monsters that were good at haunting the yellow sand.
The level is not high, the number is huge, they appear and disappear, and they are very annoying.
Fortunately, after experiencing the initial panic, everyone gradually found the rhythm of the battle and became calm and orderly in the face of the sudden appearance of the monster.
Jiang Yuebai continued to practice spiritual spellcasting, but no matter how hard she tried, her spellcasting power could never be improved.
At midnight, a sandstorm suddenly broke out, and the team was forced to rest behind the leeward sand dunes. Cao Gang quickly carried the formation flag that was as tall as one person, and led several Qi Practitioners to set up formations to prevent the sandstorm.
"A dignified foundation-building monk can't even kill the Qi-training monsters with his spells. What a show."
Sha Yingjie rested his head on his arms and leaned against the sand dune.
"Jiang capsized, I can tell you, if you continue to behave like this in the next few days, get out of here as soon as possible. Don't think that if you are good-looking, I can tolerate you being a laggard in the team."
Jiang Yuebai sat alone and played with the elixir bottle, thinking that she had covered her face so much that only her eyes were visible. Sha Yingjie could actually see that she was pretty and had a good eye for her.
Jiang Yuebai took out a 'Concentration Pill' he bought at Mingshafang and swallowed it. Under the action of the pill, wisps of cool air rushed from the acupuncture points on the top of his head into the sea of consciousness, slowly restoring the exhausted consciousness. The effect was good.
Normally, the only way to regain her consciousness is by swallowing beast souls. The 'Spirit Condensation Pill' is a specialty of the Quicksand Region. It is refined with the Blood Thorn Fruit that is only available in the Quicksand Region. She has already bought the pill recipe and is going to collect the materials and learn to refine it herself. .
Spreading the wind net, Jiang Yuebai crossed his legs and concentrated on absorbing the medicine to recover. He had better perform well tomorrow and not really hold him back.
Cao Gang gathered together with the qi-training monks. Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie were sitting together. A sandstorm was raging outside, and they were chatting casually.
"Fellow Daoist Yu is very skilled. After this trip, are you interested in going with me to the Sea of No Return?"
"That place is too dangerous, and besides the ruins of Prajna Temple, there's nothing left in the depths of the Sea of No Return."
"I also heard a rumor not long ago that there is a small secret realm in the ruins of Prajna Temple. It may be unexplored, so I wanted to go and find out."
"There are so many sects watching the ruins of Prajna Temple. If a small secret realm is really born, it won't be the turn of casual cultivators like us."
"That's not necessarily the case. No matter what, there's nothing wrong with going over and taking a look."
"I'll think about it. There are too many high-level monsters on the Sea of No Return, and the situation has been too chaotic recently. I'm afraid I might die if I leave."
The night is getting darker and the sandstorm is gradually weakening. Except for those keeping watch, most people are meditating and regulating their breath.
Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes suddenly, and the wind net suddenly captured unusual movements, which were very dense and huge, in the sand dunes within their protective formation.
"Everyone, wake up, there's a situation!"
Jiang Yuebai stood up with a loud shout and saw the sand dune behind him begin to shake, yellow sand pouring down, and a broken corpse falling out.
A peanut-sized, khaki-colored ant crawled out from under the body.
Immediately afterwards, the entire sand dune collapsed suddenly, and tens of thousands of earth-yellow ants surged out like water from a bursting embankment.
At the same time, Jiang Yuebai's Fengwang felt that someone disappeared behind the sand dune.
This is...a premeditated sneak attack!
