Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 733: Cultivation Ghost Mother
"It's so hot!" After traveling for several months, Song Xia and his companions finally arrived at the desert. As soon as they reached the edge, they felt as if all the water in their bodies was being dried up. Even using spiritual energy to protect themselves was of no use.

During the day, Master Shuangzhi would return to the Yinhun Tree. The yang energy there was too strong. Whenever they came out, they would feel dizzy. Even Song Xia felt uncomfortable.

But at night, the temperature dropped rapidly again, even the surface of the gravel was covered with a layer of frost, and it was so cold that it ached in the bones.

Whenever yin and yang alternate, the desert is the most active. Countless snakes, insects, rats and ants crawl out from the sand and gravel, and the scene is quite terrifying.

"If I hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't know there was such a wonderful place in this world. I really don't know how these creatures survive." Shi Liuchuan looked at the insects roasted by Song Xia and swallowed. Although these insects looked ugly, they smelled really good.

"Mom, are these bugs really edible?"

"You can eat it. The insects here are different from those in other places. They absorb the most yang energy every day. Eating them is good for you."

The weather was no longer hot at this time, and Shi Shuangzhi came out to get some fresh air. She looked at her brother with sympathy, as she didn't dare eat these things.

Shi Liuchuan plucked up his courage. He thought that if he didn't even dare to eat this little thing, how could he protect his mother and sister in the future?

He bit it with his eyes closed, but after taking a bite, he was surprised to find that the insect was really delicious, crispy and fragrant. As long as he didn't think about the original appearance of the insect, it was still easy to eat. So he ate one bunch after another, which made Shi Shuangzhi admire him very much.

Song Xia also ate some, but she ate more of the roots and trunks of some plants. The desert plants in this world were not much different from the deserts in other worlds she had visited, except that most of the plants here were aggressive and poisonous and needed to be handled with care, but they were also more delicious.

"Mom, does Wanxiang Bamboo really grow in this kind of environment?"

"This is just the edge of the desert. Otherwise, why do you think this place has become a forbidden area for monks? But generally speaking, the more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunities."

"The periphery is like this, I really don't know what the environment is like in the center of the desert."

Even though the environment was harsh, the three of them never stopped. Shi Liuchuan broke through in adversity and is now in the early Jindan stage.

"There is still no thunder, only the unusual colors of the sky." Shi Liuchuan said with regret, "I heard that when the ancient cultivators advanced, there was thunder to temper their minds and physiques. If they could not reach the tempering of thunder, they would directly perish. But once they made it through, after being baptized by thunder, their bodies would benefit greatly, and there would also be sweet rain to nourish them."

"Otherwise, why do you think Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect have so many high-level practitioners? If the heavenly way is normal, it is unlikely that most of them will survive the thunder normally."

"So their cultivation is all fake?"

"more or less!"

"Mother, can we attract lightning to temper ourselves?"

Song Xia looked towards the west: "I heard that only the Far West has abnormal lightning activity now. If Frost Branch's soul wants to better integrate with the bamboo body, it needs to be tempered there."

"Mom, you know so much."

"Mother knows a lot, but she couldn't resist being fooled by Master Changqing in the past. Luckily, mother never told anyone in Shenyuan Sect about what she knew before. But mother doesn't regret giving birth to you two." Master Liuchuan and Master Shuangzhi also felt very unlucky. Why would their father be the hypocrite Master Changqing?

Whenever Shi Shuangzhi thought of how her father watched expressionlessly as she was deprived of her bloodline, and how he refused to promise to protect her brother's safety even when she begged him desperately, she wished that man would turn to ashes. And back then, her mother must have felt even more uncomfortable facing that heinous plot alone.

The same goes for Master Rukawa. If he had enough strength, the first thing he would do would be to cut Master Qing into pieces.

Because of their inner hatred and goals, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi endured all the hardships along the way, and even when faced with heat waves and cold winds, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

"There are fewer and fewer bugs. Are we almost at our destination?"

"That should be it!" In fact, Song Xia was not sure about the direction. The main reason was that the desert was too big. In terms of area, the central desert area accounted for one-fifth of the entire cultivation continent. The closer to the center you go, the greater the temperature difference.

Song Xia's mouth was dry and his tongue was parched, and Shi Liuchuan was not much better. Fortunately, Song Xia still had Xiao Ling's space, otherwise just getting supplies would be a difficult task because the environment was too harsh. Even if the things were placed in the storage bag, the spiritual power overflow would be several times more than usual.

No wonder this place is called a forbidden area for cultivators. Even a powerful cultivator in the fusion stage would probably lose his way.

Song Xia's current cultivation level is the Nascent Soul Stage. Compared with ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, her spiritual awareness is far higher than that of cultivators of the same level. Even so, she was also bewitched by the celestial phenomena in the sky.

Logically speaking, the celestial phenomena would not change, but here, the order of heaven and earth seemed to be in chaos, as if the way of heaven had completely lost control of this place. Fortunately, with Xiao Ling pointing the way, they did not get lost.

However, there are even greater dangers. Getting lost is just a sensory disorder, but sandstorms in the desert are the most deadly.

Song Xia had also seen sandstorms in other worlds, but compared to this one, they were not even on the same level. When she and Rukawa met for the first time, they almost lost each other's position. You know, they were still on the edge of the desert at that time.

Now they have been advancing into the center of the desert for three months. Although they have developed certain ways to deal with it, they are still frightened every time they encounter it.

Song Xia looked at the sky in the distance, and suddenly his expression changed: "What you think is coming true, Rukawa, be careful!"

The two of them ran with all their strength. This sandstorm seemed to be bigger than any previous one.

However, the speed of the sandstorm was too fast, and the two were soon swept into the yellow sand, and their spiritual power was of no use.

"Mom, hold on to me!" Shi Liuchuan screamed with all his strength. Song Xia did not dare to let him go. Without Xiao Ling as a guide, she really didn't know what fate Liuchuan would face.

Besides the two of them, many insects and spiritual plants were also swept into the sky by the sandstorm. After entering the center of the desert, they had not seen any living creatures for a long time, and they didn't know where the sandstorm started.

"Hmph!" It seemed like something hit Shi Liuchuan, causing him to groan.

Song Xia's eyes widened. If she was not mistaken, it seemed to be a blue brick, but why would there be a blue brick in this sandstorm? Could there be ancient ruins here too?
