In the flying dust, Shen Zhirui was fighting a first-level, high-grade one-horned sand viper.

This one-horned sand viper is more than three feet long, with a sharp horn on its head and a row of extremely deadly fangs in its mouth.

If we take it seriously, the strength of this one-horned sand viper is no less than those ten late-stage Qi-training monks, and is even more difficult to deal with than them.

However, it does not pose much of a threat to Shen Zhirui. If he uses all his strength, he can be solved quickly.

However, once this happens, his hidden strength will be exposed, which is not what he wants to see.

Furthermore, it seems that their side still has the advantage, after all, there are two monks at the seventh level of Qi training among the other side.

However, Xu Mengqing and Zhuang Wenshi, who were fighting against these two people, were both monks at the eighth level of Qi training, so naturally they would not be able to hold on for a long time.

So before it was time for him to reveal his strength, he planned to take a look at the situation first.

"retreat!"

Suddenly, the ninth-level qi-training monk led by the opponent started to call his own monks to retreat for some unknown reason.

"Where to go!"

Feng Tianjie waved the mace in his hand again, obviously not wanting the opponent to escape the battlefield so easily.

The opponent just took his full blow, and although he was shocked to the point where blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, he still turned around and ordered the other monks to retreat.

On this side, the first-level high-grade one-horned sand viper that was fighting against Shen Zhirui seemed to have received the order to retreat. It used its huge snake tail to roll up countless sands and attack Shen Zhirui, and then took advantage of the chaos and got into the sand.

At the same time, the monks who were fighting against Xu Mengqing and the three others in the late stage of Qi training also used methods to get rid of their opponents, began to cover each other's retreat, and soon disappeared into the wind and sand.

The others wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but were stopped by Feng Tianjie, who allowed everyone on the other side to leave the battlefield.

"Senior Brother Feng, why don't we pursue him?"

Wu Zifan looked at Feng Tianjie with some confusion and asked.

Hearing this, Feng Tianjie just explained lightly.

"The other party has not lost any manpower, and since we are here for the first time, we must prevent the other party from luring the enemy deep..."

"Hmph... I don't blame someone. I haven't been able to kill even one beast for so long. I wasted a great opportunity..."

Xu Mengqing, who had always looked down on Shen Zhirui, started to sneer again, not realizing that she had also failed to defeat the opponent's seventh-level Qi-training monk just now.

Faced with the former's ridicule, Shen Zhirui simply chose to ignore it, giving people a feeling of indifference.

After all, his current superficial strength is just that of a young boy who has just broken through the seventh level of Qi training, and the strength of the first-level high-grade one-horned viper is obviously stronger than him, and he cannot solve it in a short time.

Naturally, it is excusable.

If he really gets rid of the other party, it will attract everyone's attention and bring him some unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, let's just deal with the injuries and we'll move on right away..."

At this moment, Feng Tianjie spoke directly, and then looked meaningfully at Shen Zhirui, who remained silent.

"I want to know how you detected those one-horned vipers hiding in the sand in advance..."

After all, with his ability, he didn't discover it until those one-horned sand vipers were about to approach them, but the young man in front of him was able to discover it one step ahead of him, which made him curious.

Facing the inquiry, Shen Zhirui seemed to have already prepared his words, and said slightly embarrassed:

"I didn't find those lurking one-horned sand vipers. I just happened to see something in the sand, so I warned you..."

"It turns out that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse...I asked you how could you have discovered it in advance with your level of cultivation..."

Xu Mengqing's cold voice sounded again, and her words were still domineering.

Feng Tianjie just nodded slightly, said nothing more, and then walked away from Shen Zhirui.

At this moment, several figures appeared in the other direction and were quickly approaching them.

"Don't be nervous, it's another team coming to support!"

Feng Tianjie obviously knew in advance that this support team would arrive, so he directly stopped everyone who was preparing to defend immediately.

After hearing this, Shen Zhirui and others also understood why the group of attackers retreated in a hurry.

"Brother Feng, I'm sorry, but my rescue was late. I rushed over as soon as I received the signal, but it was still a step too late!"

The leader, a ninth-level qi-training monk, came to the crowd and greeted Feng Tianjie. Apparently they were all acquaintances.

"Brother Song, you're welcome. If you hadn't happened to be nearby and could have rushed to provide support, my team would have been in trouble..."

I saw Feng Tianjie hurriedly waving his hands and thanking him.

On this side, Shen Zhirui also looked at the team that came to support and found that this team was also composed of ten people, five monks in the late stage of Qi training and five monks in the middle stage of Qi training.

However, there were no members of the Shen family or anyone he knew well, so he didn't pay attention.

"Okay, Brother Feng, please take the team back to the stronghold with us first. We will discuss the specific situation in detail when we return to the stronghold!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, the man named Song and others led Shen Zhirui and his group to continue moving towards the border.

So after everyone walked a tortuous journey in the wind and sand, they finally saw a simple temporary stronghold.

This temporary stronghold was made of local sand and dead wood, and there was a formation outside, which could effectively block the wind and sand, and at the same time increase the defensive effect.

Led by the man named Song, everyone entered the stronghold and immediately attracted the attention of many monks in the stronghold.

Among them, two more Xuanling Sect disciples who were at the ninth level of qi training came forward and started talking with Feng Tianjie, the man named Song and others.

"Senior Brother Feng, I didn't expect you to be sent to this hellish place..."

A man in blue robe couldn't help but smile when he saw Feng Tianjie, looking a little gloating about his misfortune.

"Junior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Li... It seems that we are the only four teams in this stronghold..."

Feng Tianjie greeted the other two captains respectively and asked about the situation of the stronghold here.

"This place has entered the Jueling Sand Sea, and it is not a place that the sect is focusing on. Therefore, there are only four of our teams here..."

...

While the four captains were talking, Shen Zhirui looked around, and when he didn't see anyone he knew, he walked directly to a corner and sat down on the floor to rest.

Around him, there were monks in twos and threes, some were meditating and resting on their own, while others were exchanging information with each other.

"Have you heard... This time Xuanlingmen is attacking from two directions, Qinghe County and Shayu County. Qinghe County has already invaded Shiyi County for hundreds of miles..."

"And I heard that Xuanling Sect has specially listed a series of rewards this time in order to encourage the monks to participate in the war. Not only are pills and magic weapons, but even the spiritual veins of the families whose homes were confiscated before are included...
