Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 19 Crazy Saran

However, his relief did not last long.

As he carefully considered the situation, his worries surged again. The sandworms had established a new demon tribe not far from the barrier. Although they seemed to have no interest in humans at the moment, their territory was too close to Bo City.

This distance is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.

"The threat of the sandworms hasn't disappeared, it's just been temporarily postponed." Zhan Kong muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

The existence of the sandworm tribe has always been a hidden danger to Bo City. Today he has witnessed the destructive power of sandworms. They are more terrifying than wolf packs and demons.

They have a strong ability to expand, and the scope of the desert may expand further at any time, even approaching Bo City. By then, mankind will face even more severe challenges.

He must contact the military as soon as possible.

In the city, after Qingning made a sound to notify the sandworm to start moving, it did not sit idle.

Its figure was graceful and massive, its nine tails swaying gently in the air like flowing silk. Each tail emitted a faint golden glow, forming a sharp contrast with the gloomy sky, like a bright lamp lit in the darkness.

Qingning stood in the Yinmao Building, his eyes deep and calm.

Its nine tails slowly unfurled, and the golden light gradually intensified, like the rising sun, dispelling the surrounding haze. The light was not dazzling, but rather carried a warm aura.

Qingning belongs to the sand fox clan. Its power tends to be fire-attributed, which actually plays a certain role in this dim rain.

The people in the city looked up, and the oppressive feeling brought by the violent spring gradually subsided under the illumination of this light.

The fox's tail swayed gently, and each swing brought a gentle breeze, as if soothing the city in chaos.

At this moment, Qingning's aura rose again, and then, a powerful energy burst out from its body, soaring into the sky. The dark clouds that had originally shrouded the city began to quickly dissipate under the impact of this energy. The raindrops gradually became smaller, from a heavy downpour to a steady drizzle, and finally stopped completely.

The sun pierced through the clouds, shining on the earth, dispelling the last of the haze. The golden light intertwined with the sunlight, shrouding the entire city in a warm and bright glow.

At this time, Qingning's figure looked somewhat sacred in the sunlight.

As for the demons in the city, many of them were parasitized by sandworms and began to hunt other demons.

Not far from Xuefeng Mountain, Salan stood quietly on a high ground, his eyes deep and cold, staring at the scene ahead.

Her figure seemed somewhat lonely in the wind, yet it also exuded a chilling sense of oppression. Her eyes gleamed with complex light, and her mind was already churning with countless conjectures and calculations.

She did not interfere with any of the sandworm's actions.

She watched coldly as the Sandworm Monarch devoured the wolves, desertified the land, and even transformed the entire area into a swamp. However, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing not anger but a hint of madness.

But when the Sandworm Lord left, Saran did something unexpected and crazy.

She took a step forward without hesitation, heading straight for the newly formed sand in the distance. Her steps were firm and calm, as if the land ahead was not a dangerous demonic territory, but an ordinary piece of land.

Wu Ku, who was standing behind him, saw this and his expression suddenly changed. He hurried forward to dissuade him, "My Lord Bishop, it's too dangerous out there! The mother sandworm is quite powerful, it must have reached the monarch level. Why would you risk it yourself?"

However, Saran seemed not to hear his words and continued walking forward without looking back, with an almost crazy persistence flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Ku could only follow him helplessly, his heart filled with anxiety and doubt. He knew that once Saran made a decision, no one could change it.

In the sandworm's territory, the sand flows like liquid, and the vortex in the center rotates slowly, like an invisible giant eye, watching the intruder.

The Sandworm Monarch obviously did not expect that there would be humans who would dare to step into its territory at this time.

However, due to Qin Xiaonan's presence, the Sandworm Monarch did not launch an attack immediately, but chose to wait and see. It wanted to see what this daring human being wanted to do.

The demon did not attack her immediately, which further confirmed her thoughts that there was a human behind the demon.

Saran stood at the edge of the sand, staring straight at the whirlpool ahead, and said, "Why are you doing this? To save those humans?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, as if she had seen through everything.

She witnessed the entire process of the sandworm's actions, from devouring wolves to desertifying the land and establishing new territories.

All of this seemed to be the demon's instinctive behavior, but Saran keenly sensed that there must be some kind of human manipulation behind it. She didn't believe that the demon's intelligence alone would do this.

Her voice echoed across the sand, as if questioning something hidden in the darkness. However, all she heard in response was the rustling of shifting sand and a low humming sound from the swirling eddies.

Saran didn't care about the other party's silence. She continued, "Humans are ignorant, selfish and greedy. They are not worth your efforts at all. Instead of wasting your energy to protect them, why not join us? I might have what you want here." There was a kind of bewitching power in her tone, as if trying to shake the other party's beliefs.

She had just witnessed the bloody cruelty of the sandworm. Who would normally choose such a demon as a summoned beast? The person behind it might also be a bloodthirsty person.

Saran actually took a fancy to the parasitic ability of the sandworm and wanted to recruit it into his camp.

However, the Sandworm Monarch did not respond to her proposal. The humming sound in the vortex remained low, as if it was thinking, as if mocking her presumptuousness.

Saran was not discouraged. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes as she continued, "With your level of cultivation, you should understand that humans can only survive in the cracks between demons. Any demon empire is an insurmountable mountain. Yet, human mages are still scheming against each other. It's truly ugly."

"Work with me"

The Sandworm Monarch still did not respond, as if he had no interest in her proposal.

"Don't worry, I will come to see you again." After saying that, Saran stayed for a while and then left.

Saran was very cautious in his actions. This time, he seemed to want to recruit the other party, but in fact, he did not reveal any information about himself, leaving only a few empty words.

After Wu Ku caught up with her, Saran said calmly, "I will not spare any of the people who came to Bo City this time. I will give them all to you to train into black beast monsters."

"All of them?"

"My orders will not be repeated a second time."

She felt that her actions might have been leaked, and the timing of the sandworms' appearance was very problematic, so she wanted to eliminate all the people involved.

As for the failure of the attack on Bo City, she didn't care because the experiment of the Fountain of Fury had been successful.

She also discovered a new prey, the sandworm, which she was determined to get.
