In the brilliant desert, heat waves are steaming. Looking from a distance, the light is distorted and uncertain, as if entering a strange and bizarre fantasyland. It makes people feel dizzy and difficult to concentrate.
The heat wave outside is overwhelming, and ordinary innate warriors may be burned to death if they stay in this environment for a long time.
The Quicksand Valley swallows everything. Not only does it emit heat that evaporates the essence of the human body, but there are also weird sand pits. Once trapped in it, even a great master will find it difficult to escape.
It has to be said that the descendants of the three great thieves are quite bold.
The black jade cloud boat was about ten feet above the ground and traveled quickly through the desert. The heat wave outside was completely blocked. Except for the six talented guards trained by the eighteen giant thieves, the others were arranged in all directions of the cloud boat to observe carefully.
All around.
In addition to Chao Baobao, Helian Liuruo, Fang Xiren, and three other extraordinary-looking men and one woman, a total of twelve people sat around the table with Wu Ming, discussing various matters.
It was more of an introduction than a discussion. The three of them carefully explained to Wu Ming various information about Liusha Valley and the identities of the other three.
Surprisingly, the three of them were not from the Western Region, but from the ancient Shu land, the Western Sea and a Baiyue half-demon.
The man from ancient Shu is a casual cultivator, named Liao Fu, the woman from Xihai is named Pujuer, and the Baiyue Banyao is from the South China Sea, named Sha Wuyuan!
What surprised Wu Ming was that when introducing the three people, Chao Baobao and others, except that they did not explain their backgrounds in detail, emphasized that the three people were of foreign blood.
Especially Sha Wuyuan, who is truly a half-demon, is not like Liao Fu or Pu Ju'er, but is a half-demon from his ancestors.
As for truth and falsehood, benevolence is in the eye of the beholder...
After all, no one can tell clearly what kind of celestial or earthly demon the three people's bloodline comes from!
As for the other six people, they are the guards trained by the descendants of the three giant thieves or the top geniuses of the forces under their jurisdiction. They are also the captain and deputy captain of the team, responsible for protecting the safety of the three people.
They were the six masked men who helped Wu Ming get out of trouble in Tianshu Town before. They were extremely powerful.
"Brother Wu has been plotted by Sun Ling, the chief of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also eagle shooters taking action. I'm afraid they have already learned about our movements. Does Brother Wu have any strategy to disturb the enemy?"
Chao Baobao asked.
"Yes, although Qianlongyuan is different from the outside world, it is difficult to fully recover the treasures that are prepared in a hurry, but the opponent has a vulture shooter, so we have to guard against it!"
Helian Liuruo nodded, the fear in his eyes was beyond words.
"Not far ahead, it should be the territory of the Ghost-Eyed Sand Scorpion, right?"
Wu Ming asked rhetorically.
"Well, the Ghost-Eyed Sand Scorpions are the dominant group in the Quicksand Valley, and their leader is comparable to an emperor. But we have prepared treasures to deal with them. As long as we don't confront them head-on, with the speed of the black jade cloud boat, we can quickly pass through this place.
road barrier.
The only thing to worry about is that the sand scorpions have an extremely wide range of activities. Except for a few restricted areas, they cover almost the entire Quicksand Valley. Once you provoke them, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble!"
Helian was fluent.
"It doesn't matter, I have a few gadgets here. Throw them at the sand scorpion's lair. Even if someone catches up, it will be enough for them to drink a pot!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and there were four more jade boxes on the table.
"This is……"
Chao Baobao was the first to pick it up and inspect it, and found that it was just an empty box. Although the quality was good, there was nothing surprising about it.
Fang Xiren didn't see the trick either. Only Helian Liuruo was caressing a jade box and inspected it for a long time. After looking at Wu Ming, a green light appeared in his eyes and he stared at the jade box.
The others circulated it one after another, including Liao Fu and Pu Ju'er, who were weighing a jade box with shocked expressions on their faces, while Sha Wuyuan didn't even look at it and remained silent.
"Good guy, who has the ability to hide the tracking mark so deeply?"
Helian Liuruo took a deep breath.
"A few guys who don't know how to live or die!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
These jade boxes were naturally the jade boxes that contained the treasures when Qi Lianghu, Zhang Hongfei and others completed the transaction. He did not see any clues, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But in the eyes of Holy Soul Kuye, the tricks of ghosts are just lights in the dark night, as clear as looking at the lines on the palm of your hand!
"Okay, these few things are here, and with some tricks, they are enough to confuse people and deceive others!"
Fang Xiren's eyes lit up, and he looked towards Sha Wuyuan and said, "Brother Lao Sha is here!"
"Hair, essence and blood, underwear, 400,000 spirit stones!"
As the name suggests, the people of Sha Wuyuan are not only silent but rarely speak, their voices are as hoarse as crows, which is extremely harsh and terrifying.
Wu Ming frowned slightly, reached out and gently cut off a strand of hair, took a wine cup and filled it with a drop of blood essence, and then placed a piece of clothing and a bag on the table.
If something like this falls into the hands of a strong person in the legal family who is skilled in tracking, he can almost catch it with certainty. Not to mention giving it to an unknown person, even an acquaintance cannot easily give it to him.
But under his nose, at least with Kuye watching in secret, no matter how clever Sha Wuyuan's methods are, he can't pull any tricks!
Except for Chao Baobao and the other three, even Liao Fu and Pu Ju'er also looked curious.
Sha Wuyin expressionlessly took off the earth-yellow gourd that was taller than anyone else on his back. As if he hadn't noticed Wu Ming's strange look, he lightly patted the upper part. The gourd's mouth suddenly trembled, and it turned directly into a ball of yellow luster.
There was a faint sound of rustling, and a ball of yellow sand shot out from it, falling on the deck, roaring and expanding into a small sea of sand about ten feet high, spinning endlessly.
Immediately, he threw out four more fist-sized stones that were yellow, with mysterious patterns.
Wu Ming's pupils shrank, and he saw Sha Wuyuan's hands moving like wheels, moving back and forth like the wind, which was dazzling. The sea of sand actually split into four, merged with the yellow stones, and gradually condensed into a human shape.
"A little makes a lot, and the sand turns into a couple. Go!"
After a period of tedious changes, the four sand figures gradually took shape, with noses and eyes, and they were strikingly similar to Wu Ming. Sha Wuyuan did not stop, his withered hands suddenly swept away, and the hair on the table was divided into four, and fell into the sand figures.
The back of the head.
Then I saw the fine sand flowing, turning into a curtain of sand like hair on the temples, swaying unsteadily and extremely supple. If I couldn't see the fine crystal grains of sand, I would have thought it was yellow hair.
"go!"
Immediately afterwards, Sha Wuyuan kneaded a little bit, and the clothes were also divided into four parts, and fell on the sand man. In an instant, clothes like Sha Sha appeared.
Up to now, the appearance of the sand man is almost five points similar to Wu Ming's, and it gives him a vaguely familiar yet unfamiliar aura, which is very close to him yet different at the same time.
Sha Wuyin did not touch the last essence and blood. With a wave of his withered hand, the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the bag fell into the gourd like dumplings. After about a quarter of an hour, there was a violent shock and hundreds of them were spit out.
The designed crystal light spots were divided into four parts with incomparable precision, and fell on the sand man's body.
Wu Ming could see clearly that there were four clusters of extremely bright crystals in each of them. The remaining light spots were like stars guarding the moon, falling into his heart and then integrating into places close to the main meridians of the human body.
Finally, Sha Wuyin finally showed a solemn expression, took out a very rough handle, like wood and gold, with a sharp cone about a ruler long, and poured it into the wine cup.
Buzz!
In an instant, the blood light blazed brightly and twisted violently.
"Um?"
Sha Wuyuan's pale yellow eyebrows frowned fiercely, and he glanced at Wu Ming in surprise. He changed the magic formula in his hand and pointed at the essence and blood light group. The latter was divided into four, turning into a stream of light and blending into Sha Xin's heart.
The whole body of the sandman shone brightly, and the fine grains of sand circulated endlessly, shaking for about half a quarter of an hour. The light dissipated, revealing four humanoid objects.
If you take a closer look, you will see that he is 39% similar to Wu Ming. Even his breath is very similar.
"The remaining power of my Thick Breath Treasure Gourd is only enough to use a large-scale magical power once. I will not use it again if necessary!"
After Sha Wuyin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the four jade boxes fell into the hands of the murderer. In the blink of an eye, they melted into his chest. He closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Sha!"
Chao Baobao and the others were not angry. Instead, they were very happy and a little surprised. They seemed surprised that Sha Wuyin was so easy to talk to.
Wu Ming did not intend to stop with this, but looked at Sha Wuyuan with burning eyes and said: "I dare to ask Brother Sha, how long can this sand puppet exist?"
The expressions of Chao Baobao and the others changed slightly, but they were too late to stop them. Fortunately, Sha Wuyin showed no signs of anger, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will last more than a month!"
Sha Wuyuan was silent for a while, without even opening his eyes.
Wu Ming nodded and then asked: "Possible recall?"
"Brother Wu is overly worried. Once placed in the lair of monsters along the way, the sand puppet will not last long!"
Fang Xiren smiled.
"in case!"
Wu Ming said seriously.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they stopped trying to stop him. They also realized what Wu Ming was thinking. Once these sand puppets, which are closely related to him, fell into the hands of the enemy, their whereabouts would be traced, and they would not be able to sleep well.
As smart as Wu Ming, he would never allow this to happen...
For a while, the atmosphere became a little tense.
"Essence and blood, forty thousand spirit stones!"
Sha Wuyuan hung his head in silence for a while, then took off the gourd and patted it lightly, and the swirling light at the mouth of the gourd reappeared.
Wu Ming knocked on the table noncommittally, pinched the belly of his middle finger with his thumb, popped out a drop of bright red blood, and threw it out with a bag.
Just like before, the spirit stone in the bag fell into the gourd. Just when it was about to absorb the essence and blood, it was caught by an external force. It was Wu Ming's right hand that curled into a claw and pressed toward the place where the essence and blood was.
"Brother Wu!"
Fang Xiren's complexion changed slightly.
"Brother Sha's methods are so brilliant. I'm very curious. I really want to see how Brother Sha refines the control talisman. I think Brother Sha is willing to be beautiful as an adult!"
Wu Ming was unmoved and said calmly.
Everyone's eyes tightened, feeling the atmosphere solidify, and they frowned involuntarily. Although there was nothing wrong in being careful, it was really inappropriate for Wu Ming to make such shocking moves again and again!
But surprisingly, Sha Wuyuan still didn't get angry. He followed his instructions and made a secret with both hands, and then started refining it outside.
After a dazzling seal, four groups of bright jade-like objects were thrown out of the gourd's mouth, and the blood essence that followed was divided into four and fell into it, adding a layer of coquettishness.
red light.
A ball of sand also separated from the four sand puppets, blended with it, and finally turned into a small red and yellow figure in the crystal jade, illusory and uncertain, like runes. (To be continued)
