The temperature in Wujin Desert is slightly better at night than during the day, but the heat is still unbearable.
But the weather didn't seem to be very good tonight. The sand storm was extremely violent, and black and golden dust was raging all over the sky.
The sand storm covered an area of nearly 10,000 miles. Shen Lang stirred up protective energy and was able to barely withstand the invasion of the sand storm, but his traveling speed was greatly reduced.
But there was no other way. In order to avoid being chased, he could only walk deep into the Wujin Desert and find another place to stay deep in the desert.
Six hours later, it was getting light.
Shen Lang traveled nearly ten thousand miles overnight, running fast while relying on his body-protecting Qi to defend himself from the sand storm. His Qi was greatly depleted.
Perhaps due to the influence of the sand storm, there were very few monsters in the Wujin Desert. Shen Lang didn't encounter any monsters during his journey, so he was lucky.
After daybreak, the sand storm gradually weakened.
Shen Lang was relieved that he had traveled so far. In this vast desert, if there was no positioning method, it would be difficult for the martial arts cultivators of the Ling family and the Murong family to track them.
He decided to find a place to rest temporarily, and after determining the surrounding terrain, he thought about his future plans.
As Shen Lang walked forward, he looked left and right, trying to find a place with large gravel or giant rocks that could shield him from the scorching sun and sandstorms.
But after traveling for hundreds of miles, I didn't find any large gravels or rocks in the empty desert.
On the contrary, the sand in the desert is getting darker and darker, and the color is getting brighter and brighter. It is said that in the central area of Wujin Desert, the sand is black and golden, which means that Shen Lang is now close to the central area of the desert.
Shen Lang grabbed a handful of sand and looked at it. The black-golden gravel was very translucent and hard, like some kind of crystal ore.
Crystal ore can generally be used to make treasures, magic weapons and the like, and is of fair value. The hardness of the black gold ore is not top-notch, so it is not that valuable.
But the entire center of the desert is filled with this kind of black gold gravel, and its value is terrifying.
Ordinary martial arts cultivators can sell tons of gravel from the Wujin Desert and get a good price.
Shen Lang would not do such boring things. He was just curious about the cause of the black-golden gravel.
"Buzz buzz!"
At this moment, Shen Lang suddenly heard a dense sound coming from the right, like the chirping of insects, and was immediately startled.
Soon, I saw a large swarm of golden flying insects flying towards Shen Lang from the east side of the desert. The number of golden flying insects was extremely dense, up to 20,000 to 30,000, and a golden cloud of insects even formed in mid-air.
"Oh no, it's a swarm of flying insects!"
Shen Lang took a breath of cold air. His luck was over. He encountered the most terrifying flying insect swarm in the Wujin Desert.
Without hesitation, Shen Lang picked up Su Ruoxue and ran away.
Unfortunately, that golden cloud of insects flew very fast and seemed to have already targeted Shen Lang. A large number of flying insects kept buzzing and hissing.
In just a moment, the swarm of flying insects had already caught up with him, and the distance between him and Shen Lang was rapidly shortening.
Can't get rid of it!
Shen Lang's face was as pale as earth. He had no choice but to deal with it and see if he could scare away these flying insects.
As soon as the storage ring lit up, Shen Lang took out the Dragon Bird Knife and stared at the cloud of golden insects flying towards him with a sinister expression.
These flying insects have golden shells and long wings. Each one is as big as a beetle, and each one is extremely ferocious, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he can't wait to devour human flesh and blood.
"Golden-armored fire ants!" Shen Lang shouted after seeing the appearance of those flying insects clearly.
This golden flying insect is exactly the same as the golden-armored fire ant that Shen Lang saw before in the secular world.
However, the golden-armored fire ants in the Wujin Desert are much larger than the golden-armored fire ants released by the Illuminati Pope before, and they are even more violent and violent.
In the past, Shen Lang's cultivation in the early stages of transformation could not even kill the hundreds of weak golden-armored fire ants, let alone the tens of thousands of enhanced golden-armored fire ants.
Seeing this large cloud of golden insects, Shen Lang was filled with despair.
We have come this far, we have to fight even if we die!
"Blood kill!"
A trace of madness appeared on Shen Lang's face, he held the Dragon Bird Knife tightly with both hands and slashed hard into the golden insect cloud in mid-air.
"boom!"
The violent sword energy shook the sky and the earth, the wind blew in all directions, and the surrounding gravel flew up in all directions. The countless sword energy was like a huge wind net, swallowing up a golden insect cloud in an instant.
The roars continued one after another, and a faint "ding-ding-ding" sound similar to the collision of metal could be heard.
After one blow, a large number of golden-armored fire ants fell into the gravel in mid-air, at least four to five thousand.
"There's something going on!" Seeing so many insects falling down, Shen Lang felt happy.
But things turned out to be not that simple. The golden-armored fire ants that fell into the gravel flapped their wings again and flew back to normal, as if they were not injured at all.
The number of golden-armored fire ants that were actually killed by Shen Lang's blood-killing technique was less than a dozen, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled golden-armored fire ants.
Shen Lang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 golden-armored fire ants in the insect cloud. One full-strength strike could only kill a dozen of them. Would it take years and months to kill them all?
Seeing the insect cloud rushing towards him and Su Ruoxue, Shen Lang was completely at his wits' end. Gritting his teeth, he took out the spirit-falling talisman from the storage ring, preparing to make the final struggle, just to have a glimmer of hope of survival!
Just when Shen Lang bit his fingertips and was about to activate the spirit talisman, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the distance in the desert: "Brother Shen?"
Shen Lang's expression changed and he immediately followed the sound. He almost thought he was hearing hallucinations. Was there anyone else in the Wujin Desert?
A figure in a white robe floated up from a distance, holding a talisman in his hand, and shouted towards Shen Lang: "Brother Shen, get out of the way!"
After seeing the man's face clearly, Shen Lang's eyes lit up, it turned out to be Ouyang Changfeng!
Although he didn't know why Ouyang Changfeng was running toward the flying insects to seek death, he might have other methods. Shen Lang didn't hesitate, picked up Su Ruoxue and immediately moved away.
The next moment, an incredible scene happened.
Ouyang Changfeng was seen crushing the talisman paper in his hand. Suddenly, a large amount of lightning and electric sparks shot out from the talisman paper and struck towards the insect cloud.
"Boom!"
The sound of thunder shook the heaven and the earth, and countless electric snakes flashed and ran in the golden insect cloud, making a dense "blah blah blah" sound.
The corpses of countless golden-armored fire ants fell from the sky, becoming charred black and smoking.
Shen Lang hid aside and watched the scene of lightning and thunder. He couldn't help but gulped, he was extremely shocked.
After the thunder raged in the insect cloud for a few seconds, its power gradually disappeared, but those golden-armored fire ants had almost been killed by the lightning.
Only hundreds of golden-armored fire ants were left, their bodies charred and seriously injured. Their wings were flapping with difficulty and they fled like crazy.
Shen Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he was lucky enough to save his life.
