Celestial being

The speed of the thunderstorm was much faster than the magic weapons of the four monks. Although it took off later, it surpassed them in the blink of an eye and fell straight ahead.

When the four monks saw this scene, they didn't know that there was a foundation-building monk hiding in the caravan, but they didn't care about it at the moment, and they all tried their best to activate the magic weapon. Afraid of being a step too late.

At the same time, five dark hurricanes suddenly appeared in the sky behind everyone.

The black tornado rolled up the yellow on the ground, and while the sand was flying, several thunderbolts suddenly fell from the dark clouds, and in an instant, the dazzling light illuminated the whole world.

While Yuan Ming was galloping, he glanced back and saw endless electric lights tumbling and leaping among the tornadoes, like several crazy vicious dogs chasing some unknown object.

At this time, Hu Ji, who was being carried by Yuan Ming, also shouted loudly: "Master Immortal, fly quickly to Xiansha City. Only the underground magic circle there can resist!"

"Rumble"

Before he finished speaking, the shocking sound of thunder came from the distance and fell into everyone's ears in an instant.

The moment Yuan Ming heard the thunder, he felt a strong dizziness and pain, as if someone was hitting his soul with a giant hammer.

Under him, Leiyu let out a cry and fell straight to the ground.

However, perhaps because of Yuan Ming's powerful soul, he quickly recovered from his dizziness.

But at this time, he had separated from Leiyu's back and was falling towards the ground.

He did not dare to delay and quickly took out the jade shuttle. While flying, he rushed to rescue Hu Ji and Lei Yu who were also falling before they hit the ground.

Yuan Ming felt distressed and put Lei Yu, who was still in a dazed state, into the spirit beast bag, and continued to control the shuttle forward. At the same time, he glanced back again, only to see that the four Qi Refining monks who were following him just now had disappeared. trace.

But the five tornadoes were also attacking him non-stop. The lightning flashed and jumped in a trance, seeming to outline the head of a giant beast, and it roared silently towards Yuan Ming.

At the same time, thunder rolled in, like war drums in front of the battle, one sound louder than the other. But for some reason, the thunder at this time seemed to have lost the power it had just now. When it fell into Yuan Ming's ears, he did not react to him. The spirit causes damage.

However, this does not mean that Yuan Ming is out of danger. The manic tornado is chasing after him, and bursts of biting cold air pierce Yuan Ming's spine.

"Kacha"

Suddenly, Yuan Ming heard a burst of ice crystals exploding. He looked down and was horrified to find a trace of frost-like black mist climbing up the tail of the jade shuttle.

The mist spread towards Yuan Ming's feet bit by bit, like the hand of a seducer, stretching towards Yuan Ming's body bit by bit.

But the next moment, the sound of wind behind Yuan Ming suddenly stopped, and the black mist on the jade shuttle also dissipated. The dark clouds in the sky quickly receded, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.

The setting sun fell on Yuan Ming's shoulders again, and the heat of the sun dissipated the remaining coldness on Yuan Ming's body. Everything returned to normal, as if everything just now was just a nightmare.

But when Yuan Ming turned around to look, he saw that there were several horrifying narrow ravines remaining on the sand behind him, like scars on the earth, which was shocking.

The name of the Black Wind Desert comes from the "Black Wind" natural disaster that often appears in it. This natural disaster appears and disappears irregularly, leaving nothing but yellow sand wherever it goes.

Before Yuan Ming came here, he had heard the evil name of "Black Wind", but when he actually faced Black Wind, he knew the true meaning of the word "natural disaster".

Yuan Ming drove the shuttle towards the previous caravan camp, but along the way, apart from the ravines, all he saw were some broken wood and rags, and the occasional broken limbs - even a complete body. No bodies were left behind.

The only survivors of the entire caravan were him and the man named Hu Ji.

Yuan Ming lowered the shuttle and put Hu Ji down on the sand. He checked his condition and found that his body was fine, but his soul was injured and he fell into a coma. He didn't know when he would recover.

The sea of ​​sand is vast. Now Yuan Ming has no guide, but he doesn't know where the sand city is. With no choice but to give it a try, Yuan Ming searches for the soul of the unconscious Hu Ji.

Fortunately, although Hu Ji's soul was injured, he still retained a lot of memories, including the content of him following the caravan between Zhao and Shasha City.

In his memory, Shasha City was located in the direction where Yuan Ming and the four Qi Refining monks had just fled.

Now that he had figured out the location, Yuan Ming didn't stay any longer, took the unconscious Hu Ji with him, boarded the jade shuttle again, and flew towards Shasha City.

…

Soon after, Yuan Ming urged the jade shuttle to land in front of a tall black sand dune.

This place is where Sand City is located.

Unlike elsewhere, all towns in the Black Wind Desert are built underground, so they are also called dungeons.

The entrance to each dungeon is set up in the same black sand dunes and is reinforced with formations. There will also be dedicated monks guarding it. If there is a black wind natural disaster, they will immediately get into the ground and open the city. Another magic circle that can protect against the black wind.

When the black wind rages, not only will there be tornadoes and thunder on the ground, but there will also be evil spirits eroding underground. Therefore, you cannot escape from the black wind simply by drilling underground.

But at least you can avoid getting hurt by a tornado by going underground. Although this does not mean much to monks, for towns, it can greatly reduce the damage to buildings and the consumption of magic circles.

Yuan Ming quickly found the entrance to Shasha City located at the foot of the black sand dune. Seeing that Yuan Ming was covered in dust and carrying an unconscious mortal in his hand, the Qi Refining monks in charge of guarding him suddenly became nervous.

"Senior, what are you..."

"The escorting caravan encountered a black wind. Fortunately, it was still far away. I took him and escaped in time." Yuan Ming said with heartfelt happiness on his face.

When the guards in front of the door heard this, their eyes widened and they praised Yuan Ming for his good luck and let him in.

Behind the entrance of the dune is a wide underground tunnel. The ground slopes slightly downwards. There are many luminous pearls inlaid on the top of the head and the stone walls on both sides, providing enough light for the entire tunnel.

Yuan Ming went all the way down, and after a while, his vision suddenly opened up and a city under the sand appeared in front of him.

The city as a whole is built in a huge hollow. On the top of the hollow, there are many special luminous instruments densely arranged. The light emitted from them is no less than the sunlight, illuminating the whole city extremely brightly, without any trace of light. A dark and depressing feeling.

Viewed from above, the city as a whole has a concentric structure, divided into an inner city and an outer city. However, regardless of whether it is the inner city or the outer city, most of the houses here are built with sand, and there are not many traces of stacking. They are almost all integrated structures, and the panes on the window sills are mostly made of stone, and are covered with curtains instead of window paper.

In addition, limited by the height of the void, the highest of these houses is only five stories, and there is an obvious gradient difference from the city center outwards.

The structure and decoration of the houses in the inner city are much more gorgeous than those in the outer city, but compared with the cities Yuan Ming has seen before, they are much simpler, not to mention large-scale cities like Xiaohu City, and even Tiehu Town It's half better than here.

As for the houses in the outer city, they are even more unsightly. They are shoddily built everywhere, and from the inside out, the houses are becoming more and more shabby. Not only can traces of various axes and knives be seen everywhere on the walls, some even have numerous scratches left on them. There are few traces of damage caused by magic, and it looks like a dilapidated building with broken walls.

When we arrived at the edge of the city, there were no decent walls or tiles, just simple tents made of rags and coats. That was because there was no wind in the underground city, otherwise these tents would have been blown away long ago.

Yuan Ming was not in a hurry to visit the town. He first found a decent medical clinic in the outer city and handed Hu Ji over to them for treatment. He also left a sum of gold and silver for the doctor at the medical clinic to give to Hu Ji after he woke up. Then he walked towards the inner city.

On the streets of the outer city, Yuan Ming found that the mortals around him either looked poor and sad, or had a fierce aura, and they did not look like good people.

However, even these people who look like gangsters will immediately and carefully hide aside if they encounter monks walking on the street, for fear of blocking their way.

Compared with mortals, the auras of the monks on the streets were more brutal and manic.

Perhaps because Yuan Ming's gaze lingered for a long time, among the two monks who were arguing on the street, a bearded man suddenly raised his head and glared at Yuan Ming fiercely: "What are you looking at? Do you want to die?"

Yuan Ming didn't want to cause more trouble, so he shook his head and looked away. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly frowned and nimbly dodged to the left to avoid a thin monk who was staggering towards him. At the same time, he stretched out his hand like lightning. , grabbed his arm.

"Fellow Taoist, this is a bit blatant." He said with a hint of sullenness on his face.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, fellow Taoist." The thin monk laughed along with him, bowing his head and apologizing again and again.

But the moment he lowered his head, he swung his free left hand upwards, and struck Yuan Ming with something between his fingertips.

But none of his small movements escaped Yuan Ming's perception. As soon as he raised his arm, Yuan Ming's hand was the first to point in front of his eyes. On his fingertips, a fireball instantly appeared and continued to expand.

The thin monk noticed the power of Yuan Ming's Explosive Technique and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He did not dare to make any more moves and had to beg for mercy again and again.

After all, Yuan Ming had just arrived, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he took the initiative to let go of the thin monk's arm, scolded him a few times, and let him leave.

However, when the thin monk hurried away, there were a lot of boos around Yuan Ming.

He looked around and saw that a lot of people had gathered around him because of what he had just done. Seeing that they did not start a fight, each one of them was a little worried about the chaos in the world and looked disappointed.
