Tian Chong from the Holy Sect and Wang Ji from the Martial Palace are both low-level formation mages. They have done some research on the terrain and understand the most basic ways of seeking benefits and avoiding disasters.
Just like this, the entrances of the Holy Gate and the Martial Palace into the dark red desert were carefully considered and carefully selected by the two of them.
Lin Ke explored the two entrances carefully, touched his chin lightly with his finger, and said: "Wang Ji found this entrance. It is indeed at the incomplete position of the ancient formation. It is very accurate. The entrance Tian Chong was looking for,
But it’s quite different.”
Xiao Bofu was surprised and felt that Lin Ke's formation skills were indeed extraordinary.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to see it so accurately.
The reason why Wang Ji was able to find the correct entrance was not because his formation skills were better than Tian Chong's. It was because the Xiao family told him in advance the entrance to the dark red desert.
Wang Ji knows a lot about the dark red desert.
However, even so, after entering the desert for more than ten miles, Wang Ji still led the wrong way, putting the warriors in the Martial Hall into a desperate situation.
Xiao Bofu asked: "How did Mr. Lin Ke see the remaining gaps in the ancient formation?"
"You can see some clues in the direction of the airflow, the color of the sand, and the changes in temperature. Other than that, it's just a simple feeling." Lin Ke said.
Xiao Bofu said: "Does Master Lin Ke have a sixth sense?"
"Um."
Lin Ke admitted it generously and did not hide anything.
A group of four people entered the desert from the entrance of the martial arts palace and stepped into this land of dead corpses.
Lin Ke inspired the four-star elemental armor and protected his body with a golden ring. He walked at the front to clear the way, carefully observing the surroundings and not missing every detail.
The journey was smooth, and they traveled more than ten miles deep into the dark red desert.
Suddenly, Lin Cartoon stood at the bottom of three sand dunes, stopped and thought carefully.
"It was here that we encountered quicksand and hurricanes. Countless heads rushed out of the ground and attacked us crazily."
Xiao Bofu looked around, looking for traces of the martial arts warriors.
Unfortunately, the wind and sand wiped everything away, leaving nothing behind.
"Where have the young master and the warriors from the Martial Palace gone? Did something happen to them all?" Xiao Bofu's old face was full of pain.
Lin Ke said: "From here on, the ancient formation becomes even more bizarre and unpredictable. With my current formation skills, I cannot accurately find a safe route. However, I can roughly lock in four routes."
"All four routes may be dead ends and will trigger the formation. Of course, they may also be routes of survival and can be passed safely."
"Want to decide which way is the way to survive? You can only try one by one."
Xu Dayu walked to Lin Ke and said, "How do you try? I'll do it."
"It's better for me to do it. Anyway, I only have one life left, so even if I die here, it doesn't matter. Moreover, the ones we want to save are the warriors of the Martial Hall, and have nothing to do with Brother Dayu." Xiao Bofu said.
Lin Ke admired Xiao Bofu's loyalty and courage, and said: "You don't need to fight, it's just a test. You can send ghosts, puppet beasts, or drive evil creatures."
"I'm going to catch a group of ghosts and ghost creatures."
Xiao Bofu was very worried about Xiao Zhen's safety, so he immediately rushed out of the dark red desert along the way he came.
Lin Ke, Xu Dayu, and Luo Qian stayed in the desert, waiting quietly.
Xu Dayu stared at the Bodhi tree in the distance and said, "We have obviously gone more than ten miles into the desert. Why do I feel that the distance to the Bodhi tree has not changed at all?"
"It's indeed a bit weird. Could it be that the Bodhi tree is illusory and we can never get there?" Luo Qian said.
Lin Ke recalled the ancient secret that Qing Lingxiu once told him. Under the bodhi tree, it was very likely that the bodies of the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons and Emperor Qingming were buried.
The bodies of the two Demonic Supreme Beings are larger than the planet.
How can one be buried in a mere desert?
"The distance that seems to be a hundred miles is not necessarily wider than a thousand miles. What level has the formation master who set up this ancient formation reached?" Lin Ke thought to himself.
Xu Dayu said again: "The warriors in the Martial Palace are not really dead, are they? I listened carefully just now, and there was no voice of any warrior within a hundred miles."
Xu Dayu's sense of hearing is naturally extraordinary.
After cultivating the forty-three body refining brands, my sense of hearing is better than before. Within a hundred miles, I can hear ants fighting and smell the falling leaves.
Lin Ke asked: "Can you hear the movement underground?"
Xu Dayu put his ear to the sand, listened for a long time, stood up again, shook his head and said: "I can only hear the sound of sand flowing, but there are no human heads or monsters."
Lin Ke's heart moved and he asked: "How far can it be heard? How deep can it be heard?"
"What?" Xu Dayu was stunned.
Lin Ke said: "The sound of sand flowing."
"You can hear it clearly within a radius of ten miles and ten feet underground. They are like small streams, crisscrossing each other, sometimes rushing to the ground, sometimes flowing sideways, changing unpredictably." Xu Dayu said.
Lin Ke clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Great! With your ears, I have greater confidence in crossing this desert."
Having cultivated an indestructible silver-seal treasure body, Lin Ke's sense of hearing was far better than that of an ordinary real person, but he could not reach Xu Dayu's level of meticulousness.
After all, I still lack talent.
…
The depths of the dark red desert.
The air was bitingly cold, red snow had fallen from the sky, and the ground was covered with quicksand.
A starry sky boat more than a hundred meters long traveled on the desert at the speed of sound. Because of the huge hull and fast speed, even the quicksand whirlpool could not swallow it.
The warriors of the Holy Sect all stood on the deck of the Star Territory Sky Boat.
When we set out, there were thirty-five martial arts masters, half of whom were genius life masters and half of whom were real people. But now, only eighteen were left alive, and all of them were injured.
The casualties were so heavy that they cast a serious shadow on everyone's heart.
Below the Star Territory Sky Boat, huge whirlpools appeared on the ground, and red sand swept up and flew all over the sky.
In the whirlpool, black hair that was dozens of feet long flew out, twisted into a whip, and rolled towards a young real man on the deck.
"Boom."
The formation above the star field sky boat started to operate, forming a light curtain that blocked the black hair.
The Holy Sect Master's legs gave way and he fell to the ground. His face was covered in blood, and he had a look of horror. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Bang bang."
In the desert, long black hair kept flying out and crashing into the hull of the ship.
There are also heads flying in the air, chasing after the Star Territory Sky Boat, and letting out creepy laughter. Their mouths are huge, and sometimes they will spit out a mouthful of purple evil mist, spraying it towards the Star Territory Sky Boat, corroding the formation.
Light curtain.
Feng Xiaoqian stood at the stern of the boat, holding a jade sword and staring at them.
"What are they, and why are they so fast? The speed of the Star Field Sky Boat in the desert has reached the speed of sound, but it cannot get rid of them."
Her long hair was messy and there were bloodstains hanging from the corners of her mouth. The four-star elemental soft armor robe on her body was severely damaged and she was seriously injured. However, her eyes were still firm and not sluggish.
Feng Wanpeng looked in the direction of the Bodhi tree, sighed, and said: "We have escaped in this desert for at least thousands of miles in the starry sky boat, but why are we still a hundred miles away from the Bodhi tree?
"
"Are we going around in circles? Or is it that the space here is infinitely far away and we can never reach the Bodhi tree?"
A genius fortune teller next to him squatted on the ground with a dull expression and said: "There is no legendary road here at all, there is only a dead end, and everyone will die here. In the end, just like Senior Sister Zhou, they will also become those heads.
One of them. Neither alive nor dead, neither human nor ghost."
Controlling the star field sky boat can indeed withstand quicksand and heads underground, but it consumes too many yuan crystals.
They have already used all the Yuan Jing used for cultivation, but even so, they can only last for half a day at most.
If they cannot reach the Bodhi tree within half a day, or cannot escape from this land of dead corpses, they will definitely die once the Star Territory Sky Boat stops.
Half a day passed quickly.
All the warriors of the Holy Sect fell into despair.
Xie Zihan, standing on the top of the sail, narrowed his eyes, pointed to the northwest, and said: "There is a broken tower there, drive over and have a look."
"Broken Tower? This desert is so ancient, how could there be a Broken Tower?" Therefore, the warriors of the Holy Sect were puzzled.
The Yuanjing was about to run out, and the heads seemed to be hungry and still chasing after them.
With no other option, Feng Wanpeng could only control the Star Territory Sky Boat and go in the direction pointed by Xie Zihan.
After walking for about fifty miles, the quicksand on the ground gradually became solid, and soil and stones appeared.
In front, there is a green forest, with leaves like emeralds, tree trunks like white jade, and the ground is covered with colorful spiritual flowers. Whether it is jade trees or spiritual flowers, they all exude a hazy brilliance, like a fairyland.
It's like an oasis in the desert.
Deep in the oasis, there stands a broken bronze tower more than 200 meters high, which looks extra tall and exudes a simple charm.
The tower was cut off in the middle, without the top.
A golden light pillar was released from the center of the broken tower, connected with the bodhi branches and leaves above the sky.
"Look, those heads didn't come after them. They all stopped ten miles away. Does that broken tower have divine power that can restrain them?"
"White jade trunks, emerald leaves, the trees in this oasis, couldn't be the legendary Mirror Treasure Tree, right?"
The warriors of the Holy Sect were all extremely excited. They jumped off the starry sky boat and rushed towards the direction of the oasis.
However, before they rushed into the oasis, a scream was heard in the woods of the oasis.
That cry was full of despair and fear.
"Could there be warriors who arrived at this oasis before us?"
All the warriors of the Holy Sect stopped in their tracks, looking confused and uncertain, and did not dare to step forward easily.
After a while, more than a dozen figures were seen escaping from the oasis.
They were covered in blood and had frightened expressions on their faces. After seeing the Holy Sect warriors, they immediately rushed over.
Feng Wanpeng recognized one of them and said: "It's Wang Zhi, a strong man in the True Void Realm of Qianji Chamber of Commerce."
Feng Xiaoqian saw another man running away in embarrassment, recognized him, and said in surprise: "Xiao Zhen from the Martial Palace."
"Nalan Ming of the Shenlong Ancient Sect."
…
Everyone who escaped from the oasis was a first-class strong man.
"What kind of terrifying dangers must they have encountered to allow them to escape in such a panic?"
Feng Xiaoqian frowned, and then said: "Why are there only a dozen of them, Qianji Chamber of Commerce, Martial Palace, Shenlong Ancient Sect... where are the other warriors from these forces? Could it be that they are all dead?"
A strong sense of crisis arose in her heart, and she felt that the oasis in front of her that looked like a fairyland might be more dangerous than the desert outside.
