Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 6 Earth Element Spiritual Seed - Dust of Sand, the crisis is coming?

At the same time, with the help of the Stardust Magic Artifact, Qin Xiaonan's daily practice time was extended, making him more and more proficient in controlling the stars. After a period of time, he was finally able to connect the seven stars into star tracks and release basic earth magic.

Then, Qin Xiaonan carefully took out an exquisite container with intricate runes carved on its surface.

He gently opened the lid, and a strong earth energy immediately spread out. Inside the container lay a spirit seed emitting a faint yellow light - Dust of Sand.

This spirit seed was also brought by the fox demon Qingning. Although its grade is not top-notch, it is perfect for Qin Xiaonan, who has just entered the ranks of magicians.

The Sahara Desert, this vast desert with yellow sand all over the sky and extremely harsh environment, has also produced countless precious resources.

Hidden in this seemingly desolate land are many rare spirit seeds, and even rarer soul seeds and heavenly seeds. With Azir's control over the Sahara Desert, finding these treasures is not difficult.

However, Qin Xiaonan's magic power is still shallow, and he has just embarked on the path of cultivation as a mage. If he rashly absorbs high-level spirit seeds, he may be unable to withstand its powerful energy and suffer backlash.

Therefore, this earth-type spirit seed - Dust of Sand, is just right for him.

Qin Xiaonan took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He had already mastered the technique of releasing basic magic. The next step was to integrate this spiritual seed into his body to further enhance his strength. He slowly closed his eyes, gently lifted the dust of sand with both hands, and guided the magic power in his body to merge.

Normally, ordinary people cannot forcibly absorb the spirit seed when they are just beginner wizards, but Qin Xiaonan has the Tsar's clone, the real Lord of the Desert, and his soul power is extremely powerful. He has a natural suppressive power over it, so he can successfully absorb it without suffering backlash.

Time flies.

One evening two months later, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the streets of Bo City. After dinner, Qin Xiaonan strolled alone on the tree-lined path at the edge of the city. The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.

As he walked, he thought about his recent progress in cultivation.

Suddenly, a loud clatter of footsteps and rapid shouts could be heard in the distance. Qin Xiaonan looked up and saw several people running towards him in a panic, their faces filled with fear. One of them shouted as he ran, "Quick! Go notify the City Monster Hunters! There's a demon over there!"

Qin Xiaonan's heart tightened and his brows furrowed slightly.

He immediately recalled the various signs that preceded the disaster in Bo City - at that time, many demons had quietly sneaked into the city through the caves dug by the giant-eyed rats.

Could it be that a real disaster was about to strike? But according to the timeline he knew, it should still be more than half a year away.

Could it be that my appearance changed the course of certain things, causing the disaster to happen earlier?
He subconsciously clenched his fists, his heart filled with doubt and vigilance.

At this moment, the fox demon Qingning on her shoulder moved slightly. Qin Xiaonan asked in a low voice: "Qingning, what's going on over there? Can you feel it?"

Qing Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, sniffed in the distance, and then replied nonchalantly: "Judging from their aura, they should be just a few low-level wolf beasts. They are weak and not to be feared."

After hearing Qingning's words, Qin Xiaonan felt a little relieved, but the doubts in his heart were not completely dissipated. He decided to go and check it out in person.

At this moment, two passersby noticed Qin Xiaonan's actions, and one of them quickly warned him, "Kid, don't go over there! There really are demons over there, it's too dangerous!"

Qin Xiaonan stopped, turned to look at the two people, smiled slightly, and said in a calm tone with a hint of confidence: "It's okay, I am the mage." After that, he no longer hesitated and continued to walk forward.

In the distant night, an abandoned unfinished building stands alone, and its mottled exterior walls look particularly eerie in the moonlight.

The building was surrounded by weeds, as if it had been neglected for years. In the open space in front of the building, two dark figures were crawling on the ground, seemingly gnawing at something. Their movements were rough and rapid, and the occasional low growls were chilling.

Qin Xiaonan held his breath, his eyes fixed on the two dark shadows.

In the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see the tail of one of the demons trailing behind it - it was a thick, bristly wolf tail, swaying from side to side with its movements.

Just as he was observing carefully, one of the demons seemed to have noticed something. It suddenly raised its head, and its pair of scarlet eyes stared straight in the direction of Qin Xiaonan.

The next second, the demon wolf let out a low roar, kicked its hind legs, and pounced directly at him!
Under the moonlight, the figure of the demon wolf was completely exposed. Its body was several times larger than that of ordinary wolves, with knotty muscles and dark gray fur. The most creepy thing was its mouth - its fangs were covered with dark red blood, and liquid kept dripping from the corners of its mouth. It was obvious that it had just been eating.

Qin Xiaonan's heart trembled. Although this was his first time facing a demon that was hostile to him, he was not panicked at all.

He had the combat experience of his clone Tsar in mind, so a slave-level wolf beast like this could not scare him.

Qin Xiaonan's eyes focused, and his hands quickly drew a trajectory in front of his chest, and seven ochre stars connected to form a star track.

He whispered softly: "Ground wave - move!" As his voice fell, a strong earth energy surged out from his hands and quickly injected into the ground.

This is a primary skill that is more auxiliary. It can usually only delay the enemy's actions by changing the terrain, and cannot cause any substantial damage to the monsters.

However, after fusing with the Spirit Seed - Dust of Sand, this skill underwent some changes.

The ground beneath the demon wolf's feet instantly became soft. The originally solid soil seemed to be eroded by some mysterious force, turning into a flowing sea of ​​sand.

The sand particles wrapped around the demon wolf's limbs like living things, forming a huge vortex of quicksand.

The demon wolf obviously did not expect this sudden change. It tried to use its strong limbs to break free from the restraints, but the more it struggled, the deeper its body sank.

The power of the sand dust pulled the magic wolf into the abyss little by little. A trace of fear flashed in the magic wolf's eyes. It twisted its body frantically, trying to escape from this land of death, but everything was in vain.

Its body gradually sank, leaving only half of it exposed, and the sand had already covered its waist.

This was Qin Xiaonan's first time using magic in combat, and he hadn't anticipated the power of the spirit seed. Generally speaking, it was difficult for a beginner mage to defeat a servant-level demon on their own.

When another wolf in the shadow saw its companion trapped, it decisively gave up eating and pounced towards Qin Xiaonan.

However, just as Qingning, the fox demon lying on his shoulder, was about to take action, several voices came from not far away.
