Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Yu Changsheng also quickly realized that Huang Laodi must have determined his current location based on the changes in the stars in the sky.

Therefore, when traveling at night, not only is the temperature more acceptable, it is also easier to judge your location.

The night was peaceful, and when the morning came, the team stopped at a sand slope.

After a day and night of traveling, most people are probably fine.

However, there are also many people with low magic power in the team. Especially in such a dangerous desert, it is not suitable to completely exhaust one's magic power, so that when encountering danger, one will not even have the ability to resist.

Huang Laodi was also a Qi training practitioner, so he immediately asked the team to stay here for a day to rest.

There is nothing to serve as shelter here, only a low slope that can barely block some of the wind and sand.

The group could only find a place to rest by snuggling up to the camel.

Yu Changsheng looked at the endless desert around him and couldn't help but sigh at the tenacity of the people who lived in such a place.

Such a harsh environment not only did not make people retreat, but instead made people living here constantly look for ways to overcome it, and eventually it lasted for a thousand years.

Suddenly, strange noises came from the desert.

Making a series of harsh sounds.

Huang Laodi was still dozing with his eyes closed, but he immediately stood up when he heard the voice.

Then he stood up and shouted loudly:

"Be careful, there's an attack!"

Huang Laodi's voice immediately woke everyone up.

Everyone's eyes immediately became alert and looked around.

However, there was a constant rustling sound coming from the bottom of the desert, but nothing appeared.

Even in broad daylight, many people's backs are lit up by it.

This kind of fear, where you know there is danger but don't know when it will come, is the most mentally torturous.

Huang Laodi said, "This is a sand ridge snake, a venomous snake that hides in the desert and waits for an opportunity to attack."

"Always pay attention to where you step. If there's any movement, jump or fly up immediately."

"In that case, why not just fly from the beginning?"

The man also sneered and flew directly into the sky.

However, at the moment the man moved, a stream of venom suddenly spurted out from below and landed directly on the man's ankle.

Huang Laodi snorted disdainfully when he saw this. If it were really that simple, everyone could be a desert guide.

"Idiot, if the Sand Ridge Snake is really that easy to dodge, it wouldn't be the most dangerous creature in this desert."

"This thing determines the location of its prey based on the noises on the ground. As soon as you move, all the sand ridge snakes will run towards you."

Huang Laodi also did not forget to remind.

But the monk had no time to react, as several streams of venom were immediately sprayed towards him.

The monk was still thinking about raising his defense immediately.

Who would have thought that the venom of the sand ridge snake was so strong that his defensive shield only lasted for a moment before it collapsed instantly.

The venom also spilled directly on the monk's ankle.

呲呲.

There was a foul smell in the air. The monk's ankle was actually corroded by the venom of the sand ridge snake, leaving a big hole. Even the bones of the ankle were clearly visible.

"Ahhh, my feet."

The monk kept screaming in pain and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the wound.

As a result, his hands were also contaminated by the poison and were directly corroded.

Moreover, the toxicity of the venom is even stronger than its corrosiveness.

The monk didn't have to suffer for long before the venom erupted and he fell from mid-air.

After twitching on the ground for a while, the monk became completely motionless and died.

When the other people saw this, they turned pale with fright, and they all obeyed Huang Laodi's words, not daring to make any movement, not even to breathe.

However, Huang Laodi was obviously much more at ease.

"These sand ridge snakes can't hear us, they can only listen to the vibrations underground to identify our location."

"Just keep your feet still, that's all."

However, those people still didn't dare to open their mouths to respond, but nodded slightly to show that they understood.

However, this is not a solution. We must find a way to leave this place.

Otherwise, if you want to wait for the sand ridge snake to leave on its own, it will take eternity.

Yu Changsheng also asked at this time:
"In that case, is there any way to leave this place?"

Others also looked at Huang Laodi, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

And Huang Laodi also said:

"There is a way, but it's not guaranteed."

Another monk said:
"As long as you can leave quickly, don't worry about it."

Huang Laodi nodded and said, "Okay, the solution is very simple."

"The Sand Ridge Snake can only determine its position based on the vibrations of the ground."

"So you just need to throw something of similar weight somewhere else to attract the attention of the Sand Ridge Snake."

"Then just take advantage of this opportunity to fly quickly."

"However, the probability of successful attack during this process is not certain, so you can use your discretion."

After Huang Laodi said this, the other cultivators were also interested.

One of them also found it difficult to persevere.

Although keeping still is very easy for a monk.

But in this crisis environment, the slightest movement will result in a fatal attack, and not many people can persist without making mistakes.

The man also took out a relatively large stone spiritual material from the storage bag.

Throw it towards one of the locations.

As soon as the stone hit the ground, several streams of venom spurted out.

The stone spiritual material was instantly covered with venom and made a hissing sound.

Unexpectedly, even this stone spiritual material could not withstand the erosion of the poison and soon became uneven.

However, this gave the man the best opportunity to escape.

Taking advantage of the gaps between attacks by the sand snakes under the desert, the man flew directly into the sky.

Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded.

"Hahaha, I ran away! I'm fine."

The man also laughed wildly, but the next second, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the ground and pounced directly towards the man.

The man screamed in fear and quickly attacked the black shadow.

Yu Changsheng also saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly at this moment.

It looks like a small snake with a pitch-black body, about the thickness of an arm and half the height of a person.

However, such a small thing can actually spray out such a deadly poison.

"Damn it, old man, didn't you say just fly?"

That person was also angry and cursed, but Huang Laodi suddenly took action.
He threw out a strange hook in his hand and slashed directly at the little snake.

pat.

The little snake was cut in half in an instant, fell to the ground, and quickly sank into the sand.

Huang Laodi also laughed and said, "This thing is difficult to deal with under the sand, but once it comes up, even an ordinary cultivator can be easily killed." The man looked at the ground with lingering fear. Fortunately, he has now successfully flown up and is considered safe.

When others saw this, they also started to have ideas.

"I'll try too."

The other person followed suit and the moment he flew up, a sand ridge snake wanted to take the opportunity to attack.

The result was that Huang Laodi took the opportunity to kill him.

After all of them flew up, they had already leveled up and killed four sand ridge snakes.
The rustling sound under the ground finally disappeared.

To be on the safe side, Huang Laodi threw out a few stone spiritual materials to test.

After confirming that no more toxins were being sprayed out, Huang Laodi tried to walk around.

Even so, there was still no reaction, which made everyone feel relieved.

It seems that it is indeed safe.

Several other monks also sat down on the ground and finally could breathe deeply.

Huang Laodi happily came to the sand snakes and skillfully peeled off their skins.

Then he took out a small jar, put a special film on it, and inserted the snake's fang into it to squeeze out the venom of the sand ridge snake.

After removing all the venom from several sand ridge snakes one by one.

Huang Laodi even built a fire on the spot and started cooking the snake meat of the sand ridge snakes.

"Hehe, don't underestimate this sand ridge snake, its venom is the most poisonous in the world."

"Its snake meat is also a rare delicacy in this world."

Soon, the pot of snake meat was cooked.

The conditions in the desert are limited, and it is difficult to add any side dishes.

Even for seasoning, you can only use some salt.

But even so, the pot of snake meat soup still exudes bursts of rich meaty aroma.

The people who had been in a stalemate with the sand ridge snakes for a long time were all a little tired. It was undoubtedly the best thing for them to drink a mouthful of broth and eat a few pieces of meat at this time.

After a day's rest, the team set out again at night.

This time the journey was smooth and we didn't encounter any danger.

It wasn't until a few days later that everyone finally arrived at a stronghold.

This place is also built next to an oasis. It is quite difficult to have such a place in this vast desert.

Huang Laodi also brought a group of people here, and then found an acquaintance to arrange accommodation for the team.

Afterwards, Huang Laodi also said to several people:
"We will rest here for a day and a night, and then set out again the night after tomorrow."

"In addition to giving you a rest, this day is also a time for you to replenish your supplies."

"There are some places selling supplies here. You can figure out how to buy them. It's best to prepare enough food for a dozen days' journey."

After Huang Laodi gave some instructions, the team disbanded again.

Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing said:
"At this rate, it will probably take another month or two to reach the Yellow Wind Holy Land."

Chen Xueqing nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do. In this desert, without Huang Laodi's guidance, it would be difficult for the two of us to find the right direction."

"But if we take him with us, we will definitely have to take care of Huang Laodi and other cultivators with lower cultivation levels."

In fact, with Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing's cultivation level, they only traveled for more than ten days without much consumption, and even their mana consumption was less than half.

But the other monks were already exhausted.

It can be said that the locations of these strongholds are just right.

Yu Changsheng also sighed helplessly. It seemed that there was no other way but to wait patiently.

However, we will delay one more day on this journey.

Perhaps the Sea Beast Holy Land will have to bear more pressure.

While the others were resting, Yu Changsheng went to find the person selling supplies to ask about the local situation.

By the way, I want to ask if there is any team that will set off immediately.

If possible, it is not impossible to temporarily replace a guide.

Anyway, Yu Changsheng has enough spirit stones to hire a new guide.

Unfortunately, this is a relatively key resting point.

Although he is in a key position, there are many people coming and going.

But the number of guides is extremely small.

Unfortunately, a team had just left before Yu Changsheng and his team arrived.

So their team was the one that left the fastest.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng sighed helplessly. It seemed that he could only wait.

As the night deepened, most people in the team went back to their homes to rest.

However, at this moment, Yu Changsheng saw Huang Laodi quietly coming out of his room. After looking around, he ran directly to a shadowy corner and disappeared.

The direction in which he disappeared was exactly the location of the acquaintance that Huang Laodi had communicated with during the day.

Such a strange behavior naturally attracted Yu Changsheng's attention immediately.

Yu Changsheng also directly cast a small-scale dark field and disappeared into the night.

This was also a method of hiding tracks that Yu Changsheng came up with based on the ability of the Eternal Night Evil Beast.

The Eternal Night Evil Beast can create an extremely dark area within a certain range.

Looking at this area from the outside is just like looking outside through the window of a brightly lit house; it is just pitch black.

But if someone is hiding in it, it would be difficult to detect anything.

After leaving his room, Huang Laodi quickly came to the top of the hill.

However, it seems that he is not going to his acquaintance.

Instead, he was on the hillside, observing the stars in the sky.

Only then did Yu Changsheng realize that he had wronged others.

He then lifted the dark area, and then came to Huang Laodi to ask.

"Huang Laodi, what are you looking at?"

Huang Laodi turned his head to look at Yu Changsheng beside him, but did not respond immediately. Instead, he continued to look up at the sky.

Yu Changsheng was not annoyed when he saw this. There must be a reason why Huang Laodi acted like this.

Huang Laodi stared at it for a while, then stretched out his hand and waved it continuously.

After a long time, he said with a bad look on his face:

"Oops."

"Such a celestial phenomenon, could it be really bad luck?"

When Yu Changsheng saw this, he became even more confused.

"Huang Laodi, what happened?"

Huang Laodi said: "I hope I am wrong. But looking at what the sky shows, we may be trapped in this desert."

Yu Changsheng frowned and asked again:

"Why are we trapped in the desert? Can't you explain it more clearly?"

Huang Laodi sighed, "I have only seen this kind of constellation in books."

"It is a sign of chaotic stars that only appears once every few hundred years!" (End of this chapter)
