PS: Don't forget that New Year's greetings are late, but the sunny and warm days are waiting for you. The spring breeze is only filled with sentimentality and bitterness, and the red, tender, green and new always bring poetry.
………………
The four of them continued to move forward, being extra careful.
Judging from the distance, the location of Longxugou is nearly a thousand miles away from Loulan City. The range of human monks' patrol is probably no more than 1,500 miles west of Loulan. This is also the experience of countless monks over the years.
Going forward, there are more and more undead creatures, and they don't even hide in the sand, but wander around the dunes in a swaggering manner, which is not something that a small team of them can deal with.
This is basically the pattern they followed along the way; the closer to Loulan, the less chance of undead creatures appearing, and the more westward they go, the more likely they are to appear. This means that this stretch of one to two thousand miles of sand dunes is filled with undead creatures and
A buffer zone between humans.
A few days later, they saw a group of human exploration teams, the only one on this inspection; more than twenty explorers were digging under an exposed mineral seam.
"It's mica star stone, a very precious cultivation material. The output of this kind of ore is not large, so once it is discovered, it will be dug up." Nan Xiangye still knows a lot, and he has been here three months in advance.
More than 20 people are cultivators, most of them are minor cultivators who have not yet reached Tongxuan. They come here to save enough cultivation resources for themselves, and they are also the main force in mining. There are five monks who have truly entered Taoism, four are Tongxuan, and one is a cultivator.
Ganshen is the mastermind of this expedition.
As soon as the Senshen monk discovered them, he flew over to say hello from a distance, and he was very humble and polite, because he knew very well that the twenty or so people of his were not enough in front of these real elites of the sect, so he had to fawn over them.
"May I ask which team these senior brothers are on the parade? I dare to be the king, so I take the liberty to see you."
Seeing Hou Zi's indifference, Nan Xiangye knew that this was his mission, "Gui team, we are just passing by. I wonder how long Wang Daoyou has been mining here? Have you found anything unusual?"
The parade routes in Loulan City are not fixed, so even if Wang Gandang has been here for many years, he cannot say that he knows these sect monks well. It is difficult for casual cultivators like them to establish a relationship with the sect monks.
They are here to protect humanity, and they are here to make money. Two concepts.
Very respectfully, "Haojiao, several senior brothers have learned that our group has been here for more than a month and the mining is nearing completion. Thanks to all the senior brothers, we did not encounter any abnormalities, otherwise we would not be staying here.
"
Nan Xiangye nodded, "In this case, then be careful and don't stay too long to avoid accidents."
Wang Gandang approached and took out a space bag, "I'm lucky this time. The quality of the mica ore is very good and the quantity is large. A small gift would be disrespectful..."
Nan Xiangye took it over without any embarrassment. People like them take risks in the desert to patrol undead creatures. Basically, they have no income. It is just a kind of practice. The only extra income is the filial piety of these explorers, which is nothing to mention.
Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are nothing more than a form of mutual respect.
They deserved it, and these explorers also gave it willingly. If anything happens, they will be everyone's savior. This is no joke.
Like this time, if you pay tribute, you can follow the Gui team all the way when they return. This adds another layer of insurance and is perfect.
Hou Tzu looked on coldly, neither stopping nor supporting. There was no need to care about these things, it was the same everywhere.
Watching the four traveling monks leave, the adventurers had mixed feelings, including envy, unwillingness, and even vague jealousy.
Wang Gandang sighed, a little disappointed, "Let's all go do something, and try to catch up with them when they come back. They have what they need to do, and we have ours. Rather than fish in the abyss, it's better to retreat."
Build a network, and when you achieve something, you will naturally have such opportunities."
...The four members of the Gui team continued to move forward in a zigzag manner, becoming more focused because they were getting farther and farther away from Loulan, which meant they were going deeper and deeper into the hinterland of the desert.
After traveling a hundred miles, we found two hundred-eyed monsters, which were easily destroyed. After another hundred miles, we found three more hundred-eyed monsters, which didn't take much effort.
After mastering the skills of searching, and showing off the overwhelming potential in terms of strength, the battle with the undead creatures will be mediocre; in terms of abilities, the abilities of the undead creatures are relatively monotonous, and their magical powers will become more and more powerful as time goes by.
Many, after walking more than a hundred places with full energy, they will have more abilities, and the undead creatures they encountered now are not actually true hundred-eyed monsters.
At the end of the battle, there was nothing to show for it. There was really nothing to gain, except for the bones on the ground.
This is also a puzzling point in the human cultivation world. Where does the source of power of these undead creatures come from? Why is there nothing left after the death of the body disappears?
In the energy balance of the world of cultivation, there is no reason why such a powerful undead creature should be just like a pile of ordinary dead wood after death?
A few people cleaned up the battlefield, and after making sure nothing was left behind, they planned to start again. The distance from here to the final destination was less than a hundred miles, which meant that they were almost at the end of their one-way journey.
Nan Xiangye looked at Hou Zi who looked thoughtful, "Senior brother?"
Hou Zi frowned, "Since leaving Wang Gandang's mining group, we have encountered two groups of undead creatures. Please connect the locations where they appeared..."
Yuan Shangyuan's expression changed, "These three locations are in a straight line!"
Hou Zi rose into the sky and said, "Follow me!"
The three people behind them followed closely. This may be a guess, but it is indeed possible. It is obvious that these two groups of undead creatures have an obvious destination, which is the direction of Wang Gandang's mining group.
They have no obligation to save them, but now that they know it, they cannot turn a blind eye. This is our responsibility as a human being, whether we recognize them or not, and whether we have paid filial piety to them or not.
The four of them galloped back at full speed and immediately widened the gap in speed. Hou Zi had disappeared. Yuan Shangyuan and Nan Xiangye were running neck and neck. Huang Xianzi was slightly behind, but the three people behind could still see each other's heads and tails, but
Hou Tsang, who was at the front, was flying away.
At this moment, the gap in strength was completely revealed.
Yuan Shangyuan reminded: "Don't spread too far apart. The three of us should stay in formation. As for the bird, he doesn't need us to worry."
The three of them gradually merged into one place, running side by side at full speed. For them, the two-hundred-mile journey only took a few moments. Before they could reach the mining site, the fierce and surging spiritual fluctuations in front of them were already coming from afar, as if there were thousands of troops.
The horse is fighting bravely.
Nan Xiangye's flying sword is impatient, unsheathed and hovering above his head, ready to kill as soon as it reaches the battlefield; Yuan Shangye's Dharma Prime Minister is also riding on his shoulders, ready to go; even Huang Xianzi has a magic weapon in hand,
Ready for battle...
Ten breaths later, the three of them arrived at the battlefield and were surprised to find that the ground was in a mess, with countless broken bones on the ground, and the corpses of six or seven human monks.
However, not a single undead creature can still stand.
