The directions in the lost desert are confusing and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. During the day, everyone is sweating profusely and the heat is unbearable. But at night, even if you are hiding in a tent and wrapped in a quilt, you feel like you are shaking all over.
Except for the night watchman, most people fell asleep.
In the tent, Zhu Youji sat cross-legged and meditated silently.
With a clear understanding of the future outcome, he unconsciously felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Although for him now, this level of training is of little use, but in line with the attitude of becoming stronger as much as possible, Zhu Youji still does not intend to rest and will practice training instead of rest.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Zhu Youji's mind.
"Something is approaching here..."
Zhu Youji suddenly opened his eyes. He heard the voice of the Sims system, decisively stopped practicing, got out of bed, pushed open the tent, and walked out.
It was pitch black all around, with almost no light except for the lights in the tent.
The wind howled and the yellow sand filled the air.
For cultivators at their level, night vision is the most basic ability. They saw Zhu Youji suddenly walking out of the tent.
The former adventurer team leader was high-spirited and solemn, and asked: "Mr. Liu, what happened?"
"Something is approaching."
Zhu Youji simply explained, then spread his spiritual thoughts out and began to look for the unknown enemy prompted by the system.
In an instant, all the chaotic sounds around him entered Zhu Youji's mind through the coverage of his spiritual thoughts.
Countless pictures, specks of dust, dark night sky, upside down and chaotic environment...
Gao Gao immediately became vigilant and called the personnel on duty tonight to prepare for battle.
However, a full dozen breaths passed and nothing happened.
Others looked at Gao Gao with some doubts, and Gao Gao frowned slightly because he didn't find anything unusual.
"coming!"
"In the quicksand underground!"
As Zhu Youji finished speaking, a bang suddenly sounded.
In the desert not far from the camp, a huge yellow worm suddenly protruded half of its body.
The worm exposed its upper body, half the size of its body, and was more than five meters long. It had threaded fangs, dark yellow irregular scales, and an earthy yellow color all over its body. It exuded a rotten and evil aura, as if it had been dead for many years.
"Undercurrent sandworm?"
As an experienced adventurer, Gao Gao immediately recognized the yellow worm and shouted quickly: "Wake up the sleeping people and stay hidden. The undercurrent sandworm has poor eyesight, but it can smell people's breath. Apply potion on its body. Just so you can avoid being sensed by it..."
Before the high-spirited words were finished, there was a haughty cold snort: "Hmph, this kind of thing still needs a potion to hide it?"
The next moment, a stream of hot and bright flames, wrapped in rich mana, emerged from the tent and charged towards the undercurrent sandworm with utmost arrogance.
"Boom boom boom..."
The flaming stream hit the undercurrent sandworm and burned all over its skin. The sandworm screamed in pain and kept rolling. The yellow sand stirred and poured out, exposing the lower body of the body.
The hollow skeleton lacked flesh and blood, and tiny dim flower branches and vines stretched out from the depths of the desert, tightly grasping the upper body of the body, like a puppet being pulled up by a huge flower.
"Um?"
Zhu Youji looked at this ugly, hollow sandworm, feeling disgusted in his heart, and became more keenly aware that there was a darker and more sinister part hidden deep in the ground, which might be its true body.
Seeing that Princess Zhenyuan took action without hesitation, Gao Gao felt helpless, but he could not remain indifferent, so he shouted: "Your Highness, attack the vines below it, those are the true bodies of the sandworms."
Hearing the high-spirited words, Princess Zhenyuan's figure floated out from the tent, surrounded by red-gold flames, curling up, and a line of red-gold dragon flames slowly poured out along with Princess Zhenyuan's wave. .
"Soul Xilongyou!!"
At the level of the soul, there was a dragon roar that touched the soul and reverberated.
The red-gold dragon shadow flew out and swallowed up the entire undercurrent sandworm in an extremely powerful manner.
The red-gold fire instantly covered the entire undercurrent sandworm, burning along the upper body's body, all the way down, and onto the vines.
The entire undercurrent sandworm struggled violently, as if it was in great pain.
The undercurrent sandworms kept stirring the surrounding yellow sand, trying to use the yellow sand to extinguish the red-gold flames on their bodies.
However, no matter how the undercurrent sandworm rolled or twisted its body, it could not extinguish the red-gold flames on its body.
"Haha, it's useless. The true fire of the sun originates from the Fuso sacred tree. It is said to be an eternal flame. How can it be extinguished by a mere demonized monster?"
Princess Zhenyuan's proud voice sounded in Zhu Youji's ears, and her words were full of disdain for the creature in front of her.
"This is a parasitic creature. When it was rolling just now, it didn't care how its body was burned. It just wanted to save the vines as soon as possible. To be honest, it was quite sad."
"The mysterious creature under the vines may be the real cause of the undercurrent sandworm attack."
Zhu Youji answered without any waves in his tone.
"Um?"
Hearing Zhu Youji's words, Princess Zhenyuan looked at the body burning with red-gold flames, and saw the red-gold flames flowing downwards, engulfing the vines. The vines seemed to have their own activity, constantly twisting and beating, It seems extremely painful.
Finally, as the red-gold flames continued to spread, the upper body no longer hesitated and stirred the body directly. The vines on the lower body were directly torn and broken, allowing the flames to burn the entrance, preventing the flames from continuing to spread.
As the vines were broken, the undercurrent sandworm fell to the ground, completely losing its vitality.
And those broken vines kept shrinking, shrinking into the desert.
"Don't even think about escaping!!"
Princess Zhenyuan's eyebrows stood up, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and she waved her hands suddenly, transferring the red gold flames from the undercurrent sandworm directly to the vines, and continued to burn along the descending vines.
Seeing this, Gao Gao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, quickly, withdraw the flames quickly. If you do this, you will anger the beings underground."
"Um?"
"What do you mean?"
Princess Zhenyuan frowned slightly and asked coldly.
"Your Highness Princess, I have said that the Lost Desert is an extremely strange environment. In addition to the upside-down, left-right, and upside-down environment, there are also night demons at night. Night demons are lost travelers, monsters, wills and other things that transform into It came here, and this parasitic undercurrent sandworm is connected to a powerful night demon underground. It uses the undercurrent sandworm to test us. We fight it off, or avoid and hide it, and that's it."
"This is a safe channel, and it doesn't dare to go too far. After all, those who can survive the cleaning are those who gradually develop self-awareness, are cunning and vicious, and know how to hide their own existence."
"We just repelled it, and it knows that we are not easy to mess with, so that's it."
"But, Your Highness Princess, if you throw the flame into the ground, it will definitely anger it, and it will even choose not to die."
"If a wave of night demons is triggered, it will be over..."
Princess Zhenyuan's face also changed slightly, but Her Royal Highness's identity and her usually arrogant and domineering personality made it impossible for her to admit her mistakes or compromise to an adventurer team leader at this time.
Princess Zhenyuan just snorted softly and said: "Hmph, how can the night demon tide be so easily triggered?"
"Even if it's triggered, our strength is enough to handle it."
Just as Princess Zhenyuan was saying this, the desert suddenly began to surge, and from the hollow in the desert, a furious sharp roar came out, as if an angry demon was roaring up to the sky.
The next moment, countless vines extended out with a roar, baring their teeth and claws, showing their power... This chapter has been completed!
