I can find treasures in my dreams.

The silver lines that the Sand Ant Knight saw were naturally the high-level magic lines of the superior supernatural ability, "Myriad Manifestations of the Heavenly Demon Eye".

Just now, it stirred up a stream of quicksand and rushed towards the Centipede King's army.

Yang Fan had been waiting for this moment. He locked onto the monster and successfully created the magic thread.

He then activated another superior ability, the Lotus of Life.

The petals that the monster saw were the new ability derived from the evolution of this superior superpower—the Lotus of Rebirth.

"hiss!"

The Sand Ant Rider let out an extremely sharp screech.

It rapidly swung its two blade-like forearms, unleashing two illusory blade beams. One beam struck the demonic thread, while the other slashed at a flower petal.

however.

A sight that horrified the monster appeared.

The blade flashed by, but it didn't touch the magic lines or the flower petals.

How could this be?
What exactly is this method?
It had already anticipated that the enemy was very strong, but it never expected that they would be this strong, which strengthened its resolve to escape.

The Sand Ant Knight decisively activated another secret technique, and a phantom ant emerged from its body, exploding into tens of thousands of gray points with a "poof" sound, instantly merging into the surrounding sand.

Upon closer inspection, each grayish glint is actually a tiny poisonous ant, with an outline exactly the same as that of a sand ant.

Its original form has quietly transformed into a sand sculpture.

The Lotus of Rebirth flashed by and struck the sand sculpture on the forehead.

The sand sculpture shattered instantly.

On the surface, it appears that the Sand Ant Rider has escaped.

That's not actually the case.

dozens of kilometers away.

Yang Fan "saw" from afar that the magic thread trembled and instantly split into thousands of threads, each thread connected to a miniature quicksand ant.

He muttered to himself, "That's interesting!"

It must be said that every knight has their own unique skills.

The Sand Ant Rider's "cloning" technique is indeed effective.

Less than one-tenth of the micro sand ants were locked onto by the magic thread; the vast majority of the rest evaded the tracking.

But this cannot change the outcome.

Yang Fan's lips curled into a smile: "If you don't use the secret technique, I'm afraid I'll have to go through some trouble."

In his soul, a lotus of life quietly bloomed.

next moment.

Each locked-on microscopic quicksand ant develops a bulge on its back.

"Snapped!"

The bulge burst open, and a phantom lotus flower emerged from it.

The life force of the tiny sand ants rapidly diminishes, and in the blink of an eye, they turn into a shriveled shell.

If this monster hadn't multiplied into millions, its powerful individual strength would have allowed it to hold out for a while.

However, after transforming into millions of clones, each clone was too weak and had no resistance to the attacks of the Lotus of Rebirth.

Thirty seconds later.

Another location in the sand layer.

A clump of sand suddenly began to wriggle and transformed into the shape of a quicksand ant.

The sand's color faded quickly, and the quicksand ant rider reappeared in its original form.

Compared to before, its vitality has clearly diminished considerably.

This is naturally the effect of the Lotus of Rebirth.

The monster let out a lingering cry, a flash of hatred crossing its eyes.

It has discerned that the enemy attacking it is the Azure people of the Azure Civilization.

It made up its mind that once it recovered from its injuries, it would take revenge on the Azure Civilization.

Anyway, the world gate of the Azure Civilization is in that area, so there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future.

Just as the Sand Ant Knight was about to leave, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his back.

A cluster of bulges emerged from its back, numbering more than thirty, and then burst open with a "pop," revealing an illusory lotus flower growing from each bulge.

It is the lotus of rebirth.

This strange lotus has an incredible effect—once you are affected, as long as your soul is not destroyed, a lotus of rebirth will surely grow.

The meaning of "rebirth" lies in this.

Realizing something was terribly wrong, the Sand Ant Knight immediately used a secret technique at top speed to try to dispel the lotus flowers that were like maggots clinging to his bones.

One after another, ghostly flames of souls emerged and struck dozens of lotus flowers, instantly turning them into ashes.

But the bulges, like "wildfire that cannot be extinguished, spring breeze that brings them back to life," grew out from other parts of the monster's body, and their numbers increased, with no fewer than sixty at a glance.

"Crack! Crack!"

A cracking sound rang out.

More than sixty lotus flowers were revealed.

For the first time, the Sand Ant Rider felt extreme terror.

The terrifying nature of the lotus far exceeded its imagination.

It now faces a dilemma: if left unchecked, the lotus will surely drain its soul; if it is destroyed, more lotuses will grow.

The monster roared and once again used its secret technique to create countless clones, its true form transforming into a sand sculpture.

the other side.

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "Using this trick again? You've already run out of ideas so quickly, how boring!"

He stretched out his right hand and made a "pluck" motion, and two more petals appeared in his hand. He then threw them away.

He immediately "saw" that as many as six of the avatars that the Sand Ant Knight had differentiated from had grown into lotus flowers.

The remaining 40% of the incarnations froze for a moment before beginning to move along the predetermined route.

The monster didn't die; it just became an idiot because it lost too many souls.

A full three minutes passed.

These incarnations struggled to come together and transformed back into the Sand Ant Knights, lying on the ground in a daze.

Yang Fan raised a finger and tapped it on its head.

With a loud "bang," the head exploded.

This powerful monster, at the knight level, has fallen.

Yang Fan mentally reviewed the battle and felt quite moved: "No wonder the 'Secret Codex' emphasizes that at the knight level, the strength of one's superpowers is far more important than one's physical attributes."

In terms of physical attributes, this monster had at least 3000 points in physique and its spirit was no less than his, yet he still managed to beat it so badly that it died without any chance to fight back.

"squeak!"

With a clear chirp, the Soul-Stealing Cicada vanished in a flash, stealing the monster's remaining life force.

Yang Fan reached out and caught the Spirit Cicada. After examining it briefly, he was somewhat dissatisfied: "How come it only has 218 True Source Points?"

Upon closer examination, this is actually quite normal.

A knight's strength is definitely more than 218 True Source Points, but killing a knight inevitably involves fierce fighting, which will consume a lot of power, so the remaining True Source Points will naturally not be much.

As for superpowers.

This time, they actually drew a mid-grade supernatural ability.

[Sand Lord]: Inactive, mid-grade hybrid ability. Activation requires 820 Spirit Source Points and 85 True Source Points. Activating this ability will result in permanent limb mutations. Please activate with caution.

The extremely high activation cost proves the power of this ability.

But Yang Fan glanced at the "permanent limb mutation" and lost the slightest interest.

He already has a wife and children, and more than one, so why would he be so foolish as to mutate?

He made a grasping motion towards the monster's corpse, storing it in the Space Pearl, and immediately tore open a space and entered.

He hadn't finished looting the spoils; there was another treasure waiting for him in another place.

One minute later.

Yang Fan entered the core of the giant sand sphere, which was the original hiding place of the monster.

The environment here is so foul that it seems to seep into your very soul.

Clearly, this is the kind of smell that monsters like.

Yang Fan immediately activated his Yuan Gang to shut out the stench and began searching for treasures everywhere.

He possesses the special ability of "treasure-hunting eyes," which allows him to sense that there are good things everywhere here.

"Blue Blood Root? Not bad! This stuff contains a deadly soul poison, but the potions it makes can reach the level of a third-tier potion, which is quite effective for novice knights. Just be careful when taking it, lest you poison yourself to death."

"Is this Azure Soft Gold? This kind of Grade 3 rare material is quite rare. Its value is comparable to that of ordinary Grade 4 rare materials. It can absorb and store Yuan Qi, and then release it when attacking, which is equivalent to a power amplification."

"Huh? This looks like a tooth. One tooth is two meters long. How big was this thing when it was alive? Holy crap, how is it so heavy? It must weigh more than a hundred tons. This thing contains a lot of metal components. It should be able to extract a lot of rare metals."

"Let me use the celestial divination of the past to see what this tooth is all about... What the hell is 'Sand Abyss Demon Seed'? 'Sand Abyss' sounds like some area of ​​the Black Sand Sea. It doesn't seem to be too far from here. I'll have to go and see it sometime."

The Black Sand Sea of ​​Death is almost boundless, with numerous strange and dangerous areas, numbering at least 800,000 if not a million.

The Ironfist Clan boasts of their extensive knowledge of the Black Sand Sea, but in reality, they have only scratched the surface of the area they have ever explored.

Yang Fan played the treasure hunt game with great interest for a while and found a total of three types of level four rare materials, sixteen types of level three rare materials, and even more level one and level two materials, totaling more than three hundred types.

In addition, there are quite a few strange and unusual things.

This monster roamed the desert for over two hundred years, and all the good stuff he accumulated in his life went to him.

It's worth mentioning that there was one item that made Yang Fan hesitate for quite a while before deciding to take it with him.

That is—excrement.

That is—the poop of the Sand Ant Knight!
This monster wasn't particularly filthy; it had carved out a huge area to serve as a toilet, where it had accumulated decades-old excrement, amounting to thousands of tons.

The power of astronomical insight told him that this giant cesspool contained a wealth of ingredients that had miraculous effects on cultivating plants.

So Yang Fan, holding his nose, disregarded his knightly dignity and took on the job of a "night soil collector".

Of course, he didn't need to personally scoop out the excrement.

Simply open the spirit tree space, and the spirit tree will throw out thousands of tree roots, which can pack up and take away the century-old toilet.

Not long after.

Yang Fan finished looting and tore through space to return to the ground.

This area of ​​quicksand, having lost its master, has gradually become calm.

He took out the tracking blind eye again and inserted it into his left eye.

The magical power of the artifact immediately allowed him to sense the approximate location of another knight-level monster.

Since we're already here, killing just one isn't enough.
Of course, let's kill to our hearts' content!
*
Hundreds of kilometers away.

A slender figure with golden eyes, surrounded by faint blue ripples, appeared in the vast sandstorm.

It is indeed—the mermaid.

As a member of the royal family of the Mika civilization, and a highly valued one at that, Miss Kana carries with her many precious treasures.

At that time, Azure Star had only been in the primordial world for less than a year, and its location was uncertain. She was able to travel across vast distances to Azure Star thanks to these treasures.

This is something that even ordinary Venerable Ones would find difficult to do.

Previously, the mermaid quietly arrived at the World Gate of Eastern City and used a spatial treasure to directly penetrate the spatial barrier and enter the Death Black Sand Sea. The whole process did not alert anyone.

At this moment.

Miss Jia Na held a shimmering pendant with a heart-shaped sapphire hanging from it.

The gemstone may seem ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it appears to conceal a world within, and one can even faintly hear the sound of rushing water.

The mermaid gently touched the sapphire with her slender fingers, and a faint halo emanated from it, within which a phantom figure flashed.

This was none other than Yang Fan.

Miss Jia Na chuckled: "Yang Fan... Mr. Ghost... Mr. Spirit Raven... If I hadn't come out today and used 'Mei Jia Holy Spirit Eye' to trace back, I wouldn't have known that you were actually the same person."

"You're worried that having too many abilities in one person would be too shocking, so you deliberately created multiple identities to spread your abilities out, so that you wouldn't attract too much attention, right?"

She reached out and tossed her hair, making her even more elegant and graceful: "It seems that the High Priest's prophecy of the savior of Mika, which came at the cost of most of his lifespan, has a 99% chance of being you."

"It's truly unbelievable that the super-strong one who will help the Mika people survive the Great Cataclysm in the future will actually be born into such a weak race."

More than a third of the offspring born to the Mija people are born with the ability to manipulate water using supernatural powers, and the most outstanding individuals can even kill a one-meter-long fish.

Compared to them, the cubs of the Azure People were pitifully weak.

Miss Jia Na moved her right hand, reactivating the pendant's power: "Tell me where the savior Mika went and what she did in the Black Sand Sea."

"Buzz!"

The pendant jolted.

It delivered a message—just ten minutes ago, the target had engaged in a battle with a powerful quicksand ant.

The mermaid immediately showed surprise: "Knight-level quicksand ants? These things are not easy to deal with."

She thought to herself that if she didn't possess a wealth of valuable treasures, she probably wouldn't be able to deal with such a sand ant.

Miss Jia Na smiled again: "Going there now will be just in time to lend you a hand."

A beam of pale blue light shot out from between her brows, easily tearing open a spatial rift.

As the mermaid stepped inside, she immediately saw the quicksand area that the pendant had traced back to.

The area is nestled between three giant sand dunes and covers more than 150 square kilometers.

Valley-like terrain is a favorite area for many black sand sea creatures, making it a natural and excellent hunting ground.

Miss Jia Na glanced at it and immediately sensed something was wrong: "Why is the quicksand below about to stop?"

She quickly took out the pendant and traced it again.

An image flashed through her mind: a figure stood next to a six-meter-long monster, pointed a finger at the monster's forehead, and the monster's head exploded with a "bang".

The mermaid's beautiful eyes widened in surprise: "Yang Fan killed this knight-level monster so quickly?" (End of Chapter)
