The water vapor in the air quickly condensed under her magic summons and turned into countless extremely sharp ice blades.
These ice blades were like snowflakes all over the sky, fluttering down towards the bandits. They sparkled with crystal light in the sunlight, beautiful yet deadly.
Wherever they went, the bandits were cut and covered with wounds, and their screams were heard one after another.
The Fire Sand Camels were not spared either. After being attacked by the ice blades, the scales on their bodies were scratched. The pain made them neigh in agony and become restless. They stomped back and forth on the sand, raising large amounts of dust and making the entire battlefield even more chaotic.
Lang Nana drove the fire snake, which was like a nimble flaming whip. Under her control, it moved flexibly among the bandits.
Wherever the fire snake went, a raging fire instantly broke out. The flames were like the devil's tongue, enveloping the sand bandits.
The bandits were panicked by the burning and fled in all directions. Their hair and clothes were on fire, emitting a pungent burnt smell. The scene was in chaos.
They had never expected that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear at this time. They were caught off guard by the sudden attack. Their original arrogance was instantly extinguished, and was replaced by endless fear and panic.
The leader of the bandits became furious when he saw his men being beaten to a pulp.
His eyes were as big as copper bells, burning with rage, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes. He brandished the crescent-shaped scimitar and rushed towards Jiang Qiong like a mad beast.
He roared loudly: "Boy, you dare to ruin my good deeds, today I will make sure you die without a complete body, I will cut you into pieces!"
As he spoke, he jumped high up, and the scimitar in his hand, with a tremendous force, chopped down at Jiang Qiong like a black lightning.
The scimitar cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, as if it was the call of the god of death.
Jiang Qiong looked calm, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He calmly held the Star Sword horizontally and steadily blocked the fatal blow.
The powerful impact made Jiang Qiong's arm slightly numb. His arm muscles were tense and veins bulged, but he gritted his teeth and refused to retreat with his strong will.
He circulated the spiritual power in his body, and the light on the star sword became more and more dazzling, as if it would illuminate the entire desert.
Jiang Qiong exerted force suddenly, knocked away the bandit's scimitar, and then stabbed the bandit in the chest with a sword.
The bandit reacted quickly and dodged sideways, but was still cut on the arm by the long sword. Bright red blood flowed out instantly, leaving a striking bloodstain on the yellow sand. The bloodstain was particularly glaring in the sunlight, as if it was an accusation of the bandit's crimes.
Upon seeing this, other bandits gathered around and surrounded Jiang Qiong and the others.
They were like a pack of hungry wolves, surrounding their prey tightly, with fierce light flashing in their eyes.
Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana stood back to back, forming a tight battle formation, ready to fight.
The sand bandits launched a frantic attack, with all kinds of spells and weapons raining down on them.
Some of the bandits spewed black flames from their mouths, and the flames carried a foul smell as they swept towards them;
Some were waving maces in their hands. The spikes on the maces flashed cold light, and every swing brought up a gust of wind.
Jiang Qiong and others used their best skills to resist one by one with all their strength.
The light of the Star Sword, the chill of the Ice Spell and the flame of the Fire Snake intertwined to form an indestructible defensive barrier. The barrier flashed colorful light in the sun, like a mysterious armor, making the sand bandits' attacks futile time and time again.
Their attacks hit the barrier, making loud noises and stirring up clouds of dust, but they were unable to break through this line of defense built of courage and strength.
In the fierce battle, Jiang Qiong, with his keen observation, like an owl looking for prey in the dark, finally discovered the flaw in the bandits' formation.
While fending off the attacks of the bandits, he shouted loudly to Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana:
"I have found the flaw in the formation. In the northeast corner of the formation, there is a place with abnormal energy fluctuations. Let's concentrate our strength to attack that location, break the formation, and rescue those tribal practitioners!"
Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana immediately understood what he meant. The three of them quickly adjusted their states. They took a deep breath and gathered all their strength. The spiritual power in their bodies surged through their meridians like a raging tsunami.
They launched an extremely fierce attack towards the flaws in the formation.
The power of the star sword energy, ice blade and fire snake gathered together to form a powerful energy impact that could destroy the world. It was like a whistling meteor, carrying endless power and light, and directly hit the flaw in the formation.
There was a loud "boom" and the sound was so deafening that it seemed as if the entire desert was shaking at that moment.
The formation collapsed in an instant, and a powerful energy wave spread out in all directions with the point of breaking the formation as the center, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge ripples.
This energy fluctuation shook the surrounding bandits to the ground, and they fell to the ground one after another. Their bodies were like kites with broken strings. They were thrown into the air by the powerful force, and then fell heavily on the sand, raising a cloud of dust.
When the tribal practitioners saw that the formation was successfully broken, their morale was immediately boosted, as if they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline.
The light of hope rekindled in their eyes, and their originally tired bodies seemed to be filled with strength.
They all used their most powerful spells and fought side by side with Jiang Qiong and others to launch a fierce counterattack against the sand bandits.
Their spells cooperated with the power of Jiang Qiong and others to form a powerful force. Some tribal practitioners summoned a huge sand element giant, which waved its thick arms and knocked the sand bandits away;
Some of them released golden rays of light, which were as warm and powerful as the sun, purifying the evil aura from the bandits.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the bandits wanted to escape. They rode their Yansha camels in panic and fled in all directions, but Jiang Qiong and others would not let them go easily. They took advantage of the victory to pursue them, like three brave cheetahs, and carried out the final cleanup of the bandits.
Their figures quickly shuttled across the sand, waving their weapons continuously and knocking down the fleeing bandits to the ground one by one.
After a fierce and bloody battle, all the bandits were wiped out. The battlefield was in a mess, the yellow sand was dyed red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong bloody smell.
The bloody smell lingered in the air, as if it was a remembrance of this brutal battle.
The tribal practitioners came to Jiang Qiong and others one after another, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration, as if Jiang Qiong and others were gods descended from the sky.
The elderly practitioner in the lead stepped forward excitedly, his hands trembling slightly, tears flashing in his eyes, and said:
“Thank you three heroes for your help. If it weren’t for you, we would all be dead here today.
Our tribe will never forget your great kindness! We are willing to do anything for the three heroes to repay you for saving our lives."
Jiang Qiong smiled and said, "When we see injustice, we should help others. This is what we should do. But why are you being hunted by these sand bandits?" The old cultivator sighed and said sadly, "Our tribe has been guarding a mysterious relic in the desert for generations. It is said that the relic contains endless treasures and powerful power. It is the belief of our tribe.
The bandits got the news from somewhere and attempted to steal the treasures in the ruins, so they launched this brutal attack on us.
They have been coveting our tribe's protection for a long time, and this time they came out in full force, wanting to capture us all in one fell swoop and seize the ruins."
After hearing this, Jiang Qiong and others became very interested in this mysterious relic.
They looked at each other, their eyes revealing curiosity and expectation. They decided to follow the tribal practitioners to the tribe to learn more about the ruins.
Under the guidance of the tribal practitioners, Jiang Qiong and others rode on sand lizards and slowly moved towards the direction of the tribe.
Along the way, they admired the unique and magnificent scenery of the desert. The rolling sand dunes seemed to be coated with a layer of golden glow under the setting sun, like a dream.
Jiang Qiong and others rode on sand lizards and headed towards the tribe under the guidance of the tribal practitioners.
At this time, the noise of the battle had gradually faded away, leaving only the silent desert.
Lang Nana suddenly suggested: "Let's sort out the belongings of those bandits, maybe we can get something." Everyone nodded and stopped beside a sand dune.
They began to search the bandits' bags carefully and soon found a lot of valuable things.
The most eye-catching of these are the stacks of yellowed formation drawings.
Jiang Qiong carefully unfolded one and saw complicated lines and runes drawn on it. These lines intertwined to form a mysterious pattern.
He studied the blueprints carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "These formation blueprints are not simple. Each one contains unique laws of energy operation."
"Look, this spirit gathering formation can gather the surrounding spiritual power and provide the user with a constant supply of energy. If we can master these formations, it will be of great help whether in training or in combat."
Nan Fengxue also picked up a blueprint and said thoughtfully: "This soul-trapping formation looks like it can trap the enemy's soul and prevent it from escaping.
In battle, if you can use it skillfully, you will definitely win by surprise." Lang Nana excitedly flipped through the drawings in her hand, exclaiming:
"Wow, there is also this phantom formation, which can create countless phantoms and confuse the enemy's sight. Although these sand bandits are hateful, the formation drawings they collected are really eye-opening for us."
As everyone was communicating with each other, they carefully sorted and organized the formation drawings.
They also found some notes on the arrangement of formations, which detailed the advantages and disadvantages of each formation as well as the precautions when arranging it.
Jiang Qiong was overjoyed and put away the notes. In addition to the formation drawings, they also found some precious spiritual crystals. These spiritual crystals emitted a faint light and contained rich spiritual power, which were essential resources for cultivation.
After sorting out the relics, they continued their journey to the tribe.
As the sun gradually set, the desert was dyed orange-red.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, they saw a strange scene in the distance.
Under a sand dune, the outlines of some buildings are vaguely visible.
When I got closer, I found that these buildings were hidden under the desert.
It turns out that the people of the Tenghua tribe have lived under the desert for generations to avoid the harsh environment and invasion of foreign enemies.
Through ingenious engineering design, they dug out a large living space underground.
At the entrance of the tribe, there is a huge stone gate with exquisite patterns carved on it, which seems to tell the history of the tribe.
When they walked into the tribe, Jiang Qiong and others saw many tribal residents, most of whom had bronze skin, a mark of living in the desert for a long time.
Their eyes are deep and bright, revealing tenacity and wisdom. The men are burly, with strong muscles, wearing simple and practical animal skin clothing;
The women have pretty faces and shiny black hair. Their clothes are embroidered with various exquisite patterns, revealing a unique style.
When the people in the tribe saw Jiang Qiong and others arriving, they surrounded them enthusiastically.
Their eyes were filled with gratitude and curiosity. The elder practitioner in the lead said loudly: "Listen carefully, these three are our saviors. If it weren't for them, we would have been killed by the bandits today."
After hearing this, everyone cheered and looked at Jiang Qiong and others with admiration.
Afterwards, the tribal residents took Jiang Qiong and others to the central area of the tribe.
This is a spacious hall. The walls of the hall are inlaid with various glowing gems, making the entire hall bright and warm.
In the center of the hall stands a huge stone table, which is filled with all kinds of delicious food.
There is sand lizard meat roasted to golden crispness, exuding an enticing aroma;
There are also cakes made from special plants in the desert, which are soft and sweet but not greasy. In addition, there are also various fresh fruits and fragrant wines.
The tribal residents entertained Jiang Qiong and others warmly.
They toasted Jiang Qiong and others to express their gratitude.
Jiang Qiong and others were also infected by this enthusiasm and drank happily with the tribal residents.
Amidst laughter and chatter, Jiang Qiong chatted with the older practitioners about tribal affairs.
"What secrets does the mysterious ruins that your tribe has guarded for generations contain?"
Jiang Qiong asked curiously. The older practitioner frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "This mysterious relic is the origin of our tribe." (End of this chapter)
