It’s another late spring in April, and the grass is luxuriantly green.
The central and eastern parts of Chaoyang Continent are shrouded in extremely warm sunshine, and everything exudes a pleasant smell.
The weather at this time is neither freezing nor hot, and the season is just right.
Many members of the Li clan frequently go in and out of the fifth side peak of Taiqiu Mountain, transporting many resources mobilized from the Shanggong Hall.
As these resources gradually tilted up Fu Peak, construction was in full swing throughout the mountain, and a first-level high-grade spiritual vein was completely stabilized internally.
Continuously exudes spiritual energy.
Just when Li Xuanyu officially moved the cave to the peak of Fu Feng, in the middle of Chaoyang Continent, Zhengda, who had been studying Feiyu Golden Corpse Art for several years in the Jieyuan space, finally progressed to the next stage.
One day, he woke up from that side room. After several long breaths, the ups and downs of evil spirits in his body gradually subsided.
He blinked, stood up and walked. He was about to put the Feiyu Golden Corpse Art in his hand into the storage bag, but after thinking for a moment, he stopped.
When walking out of the side room, he placed it on a shelf containing various classics.
Then he turned around and left the warehouse cave and went outside.
At a glance, everything in the Jieyuan space is as usual.
Not long ago, according to Li Xuangang's instructions, General Zhong collected and stored the batch of Jinyuan Fruits in the spiritual field, and then plowed the spiritual field again and planted dozens of new seeds.
However, it had not sprouted yet. He walked to the edge of the spiritual field to check and found that there was no problem. After a while, the seeds of this batch of Jinyuan fruit should be able to break out of the ground and grow into a young plant.
A few years ago, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Jieyuan space reached the second-level high-grade. Zhengda originally wanted to expand the scale of the spiritual field, but now Li Xuangang is still in retreat and is afraid that the spiritual energy is not enough, so the matter has been put on hold for the time being.
Wait until the latter comes out of customs and then think about it.
After making a plan, he stood up from the spiritual field, walked to a bush of spiritual flowers, and woke up Zong Er who was crawling inside.
"Hmph!"
Zhan Er was sleepy, and he opened his eyes with some difficulty. Seeing that it was Zong Da who woke him up, he shook his head in confusion.
But Zhengda didn't give it a chance to choose, and said directly:
"follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the Jieyuan space. Zang Er behind him hesitated a little, but after only a moment, he still stood up with his head shaking, walked quickly to Zang Da's side, and asked awkwardly where he was going with his spiritual consciousness.
.
The latter was silent!
...
...
The grass grows and the orioles fly, the spring breeze supports the suspense, and everything in the world is full of vitality.
When Zhengda reappeared, he was already inside Shuangjiao City.
And in the next few days, he kept moving around the major streets in the city, going in and out of various shops. It was not until he came out of the last shop that he estimated that the materials in the storage bag were enough, and then he left the double store.
Jiaocheng, determined the direction, and headed towards the mountains outside the city.
The direction of this mountain range is different from that of Li Xuangang Cave.
...
...
It is not easy to practice the Feiyu Golden Corpse Art, but the process of practicing Zombie Da is not too difficult.
Everything went according to plan and let nature take its course. It only took more than two years to cultivate successfully, and now it has reached the final step of transforming into an armored corpse.
Of course, this last step is also the most critical step. Whether it can succeed depends on this.
The foundation of Zombie's internal cultivation has been reached, and all the resources required for cultivation have been prepared, so there is only one final condition left before he can officially complete the training of the armored corpse.
For this reason, it took him nearly three months to finally cross the mountains.
And as he continued to escape, the surrounding environment began to become hotter and hotter, there were fewer and fewer trees as far as the eye could see, and the hills and land were dyed with a faint red color.
This is the northwest of Shuangjiao City, and Yuling Sect and Dongxuan Sect are both to the south of here.
Feeling the huge changes in the surrounding environment, Zhengda stopped his flying figure in mid-air and landed on a tall boulder.
He took out a map from his storage bag, took a look at it, and found his current approximate location. Then he raised his head and looked ahead, seeing all kinds of red sand in his eyes.
One mountain pillar after another, neither high nor short, can be seen everywhere. Along with the dust and sand swept up by the wind, it looks very desolate.
He bent down and grabbed a handful of gravel from the ground, rubbing it with his hands, feeling the heat in it.
The map was put away and the gravel in his hand was thrown away.
"It should be right here."
Zhengda stared ahead again, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes. The next moment, he jumped up again and flew decisively into this dry land.
...
...
According to the records of Feiyu Golden Corpse Art, the last step of refining the armored corpse requires finding a special place.
After writing down the specific conditions required for such a place, Zhengda searched for a long time on the map of the central part of the continent, but to no avail.
It wasn't until I went to Shuangjiao City to purchase items that I overheard someone talking about such a place.
Beiyuan Sand Sea!
...
According to records, this sea of sand is extremely dry, the sun is scorching, and very few monsters live here. Therefore, unless Tong Zhengda has a special purpose, monks would not normally choose to come here.
After wandering around in this sea of sand for more than ten days, I finally fell from the low altitude.
But before his feet completely landed on the ground, several black shadows jumped out from the yellow sand where they were hiding. Their speed was extremely fast, and they arrived in front of him in a daze.
Faced with this sudden attack, a trace of surprise flashed across Zheng Da's face at first, but he immediately regained his composure.
The black thunderbolt was instantly summoned from the storage bag, held in his hand, and swept away. The next moment, the black shadows were shot away, making several shallow dents in the soft yellow sand.
.
"Sand Scorpion?"
Looking at the four scorpion-shaped monsters the size of millstones, Zhongda slowly fell down with the black thunderbolt in his hand, and finally stepped on the soft and delicate yellow sand.
Judging from his unruffled face, he was not surprised by the appearance of the four sand poisonous scorpions. It seemed that he had been prepared for it.
Just as he was sizing up the four sand poisonous scorpions with his own eyes, the four sand poisonous scorpions also reacted and knew that the human monk in front of him was not as easy to deal with as other prey.
Therefore, they turned over one after another, hanging their tails high, showing their poisonous needles like thorns, facing Zongda.
Wrapped in a black shell, two large turtles were held in front of them. Each section of their body separated by natural lines showed their real danger.
Sand poisonous scorpions are one of the few monsters that can survive in the sand sea of Beiyuan. They have high and low levels of cultivation. They usually live in groups and have a ferocious temperament. They dare to attack all living creatures they encounter.
While silently recalling the details about the Sand Scorpion in his mind, he stiffened and looked at other places in the area with his peripheral vision.
Sand poisonous scorpions like to gather in groups, and only four of them appeared at this time, and their grades were still between the second-level mid-level to the upper-level.
While Zhengda was searching for the presence of other Sand Venomous Scorpions, the four Sand Venomous Scorpions that originally attacked him suddenly launched another attack.
But this time only three of them pounced, while the remaining one was covered in black armor and trembled, making a special melody.
His expression remained unchanged, Zheng Da realized something, so this time he no longer held back, and simply dealt with the Sand Poison Scorpion that rushed towards him.
The black thunderbolt flashed several electric arcs, and the next moment the three sand poisonous scorpions were broken into two pieces in mid-air, and fell heavily back into the yellow sand. The black electric arcs at the broken parts of the body had not completely dissipated.
Just as he was about to rush in and take out the sand scorpion that had been left there before, the sounds emitted by the latter suddenly intensified.
In an instant, a danger arose, making Zhengda alert, so he gave up the attack and instead floated into the air, his eyes burning.
Then, a scene appeared in this sea of sand that made him both happy and shocked.
Yellow sand surges and black armor invades.
A vast black color, accompanied by countless friction sounds between sand and black armor.
At a cursory glance, hundreds of sand poisonous scorpions suddenly appeared from beneath the yellow sand, tightly surrounding Zhongda in the center.
He stopped the surprise in his eyes and his expression returned to calm. Zhengda looked at the group of sand poisonous scorpions below and murmured to himself: "It is indeed here!"
Then he stopped talking, the black thunderbolt in his hand was put away, and his figure quickly shriveled up.
With a move against the wind, Zong Er, who had been put into the spirit beast bag before, reappeared.
It was hanging by the side of Zong Da. Before it could communicate with the latter, it was immediately attracted by the dense black insects underneath.
"Hmph!"
"Get rid of them!"
After Zang Da finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed into the group of scorpions without waiting for Zang Er's reaction.
Under the bright sun, a small and medium-sized fight was going on. On one side were the sand poisonous scorpions that are common in the sand sea of Beiyuan, and on the other side were two third-level zombies that would never appear here.
...
...
Three hours later, the battle ended. Zongda and Zonger, covered with fine wounds, stood among the corpses of sand poisonous scorpions.
There were still dozens of sand poisonous scorpions alive at the edge, but they had no intention of fighting anymore. When the former finished killing the last third-level mid-level scorpion king, they scattered and fled.
Seeing the black shadows disappearing into the yellow sand, Zheng Da did not choose to chase them. Instead, he waved his hand to collect all the corpses of sand poisonous scorpions everywhere. Among them, the corpses of five third-level sand poisonous scorpions were stored separately.
Then, he walked forward for a certain distance, which was exactly where the scorpions appeared before.
Squatting down and staring at the yellow sand under his feet, a strange light appeared in his eyes.
The next moment, his body suddenly collapsed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zang Er, who stayed far away, was obviously stunned, and ran over with strong curiosity, looking at the place where Zang Da disappeared.
Suddenly, its huge body suddenly sank into the yellow sand.
The wind continued to blow, and the yellow sand it carried quickly covered up all traces here. Half an hour later, the place had returned to normal, and no trace of anything strange could be seen.
At this time, after passing through the complicated passages in the Sand Poison Scorpion's nest, Zang Da and Zang Er finally arrived at Zang Da's destination.
In front of them was a fiery rock pit with a radius of more than ten feet, emitting terrifying white flames.
