No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"Everyone who set foot in Baiyun City before its fall is here. See if you can find any of your friends or seniors."

His voice was full of mockery.

The falcon looked closely and indeed saw many sand puppets wearing guard uniforms, some from recent years and some from older models. However, because they were now unrecognizable, it was impossible to tell whether any of them had left traces of their service in the past.

The endless resentment emanating from these sand golems is enough to deter anyone from approaching and send chills down one's spine. Even these experienced guards feel their scalps tingle when facing them.

What kind of torment did they endure?

Upon seeing this, the falcon's expression turned extremely unpleasant.

The Sand Demon's actions seemed to be a deliberate attempt to humiliate them.

Logically speaking, the guards are people who can accept the power of the desert to a certain extent. Even if they die, they should not degenerate into sand golems. So it is easy to guess that the sand demon must have used some method to forcibly purify their bloodline, making them accept more desert power than they could accept, which is why they ended up like this.

What is this if not a disgrace to make someone who has spent their entire life fighting against sand puppets suffer and then become a sand puppet themselves?

Thinking of this, he coughed in anger.

Although the falcon still looked middle-aged, the aging of its internal organs was no different from that of an elderly person.

He has one last chance to become completely desertified. If he can survive this chance and never use the power of the desert again, he can live peacefully for a few more years.

But if you use it, your life will immediately begin its countdown.

but...

Taking a deep breath, the falcon looked at the twisted head of the Sand Demon in the sky.

He knew all too well that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't possibly deal with such a being.

Whoever destroyed the White Cloud Tower was the only one who could possibly defeat the Sand Demon.

What he could do was clear away the obstacles in front of him, eliminate the sand puppets that might affect the overall situation, and at the same time, help them to break free.

Then... let's have one last dance!

With that thought in mind, the falcon underwent its final, most thorough, and most perfect transformation into sand in its entire life.

The crystal's integrity and transparency even surpassed that of the Snow King. Apart from his unchanged physique, he was practically a carbon copy of the Snow King.

Without saying a word, he charged straight into the wave of sand golems.

Seeing this, the other guards also showed resolute expressions, said nothing, and charged in after turning into sand.

However, their passion and determination did not help them much. The intense desertification that occurred multiple times in one day, coupled with the absence of Wang Tiezhu to help them replenish their strength, caused them to show signs of weakness before long.

Jiang Shu, who was above, witnessed what was happening below.

From his perspective, in the very center of Baiyun City, dozens of small black dots were rushing toward a whole yellow area.

This is really a difficult situation...

Having reformed into human form with a propeller attached to his back, Jiang Shu looked at the enormous head and felt unusually helpless.

Although the Great Wilderness Heart has found a way to break the curse within the Sand Demon, now that he has grown so large, even if he and the Four Heavenly Kings were to divide him, how much area could they possibly cover?

I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to cover one of the Sand Demon's teeth, would it?

Moreover, he couldn't get close at all. After all, given the huge difference in size, the other party could blow him away with just one breath.

What should I do?

Jiang Shu frowned deeply.

You blockhead, think of something quick!

Meanwhile, the Sand Demon, having grown tired of the battle below, felt victory was within his grasp. He turned his head, grinning maliciously at Jiang Shu, and said, "You... can't possibly grow that big, can you?"

Jiang Shu was taken aback, as if he had realized something.

He looked up at the Sand Demon: "Could you really be a genius?"

The Sand Demon's smile froze.

What does it mean?

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shu left with the words: "You'd better wait and see! I'll send people to deal with you!"

The next moment, Jiang Shu suddenly disappeared.

"They escaped... How did they do that?"

A look of surprise flashed across the Sand Demon's face, but he stopped thinking about it and looked angrily at the guards below, especially the unconscious Snow King and Wang Tiezhu.

"You can run, but they can't, can they?"

"I'm going to turn all these people into the lowest-level mutants!!"

In an instant, the sand golems, as if injected with adrenaline, surged forward towards the barely holding out army of guards...

Meanwhile, directly above the city of White Clouds, at an unknown depth above the ground, on the sandy surface.

Jiang Shu suddenly appeared on a mountaintop.

Beside him, Huang Helou was carefully lying on the cliff, watching the seemingly calm basin below.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Shu asked curiously.

Huang Helou, who was highly focused, suddenly heard a sound and, without thinking, instinctively replied, "I'm observing the situation."

Then he realized something was wrong and jumped up from the sand in fright.

Only after recognizing Jiang Shu did he breathe a sigh of relief, complaining, "Who were you trying to scare to death?"

There was also a beacon left to him by Jiang Shu at the Yellow Crane Tower, as a backup plan in case of emergency.

When Jiang Shu saw the scene on the camera, after the group lost contact and went directly into Baiyun City, Huang Helou was actually rushing over here to meet them outside.

However, since he came on foot, he was much slower. So much had already happened down there, and he had only just arrived.

When Huang Helou saw that Jiang Shu came out alone, he immediately had a bad feeling.

What happened inside?

"The situation is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. In short, we are in trouble now."

Jiang Shu sat down and began to work on the yellow sand in front of him.

Behind him, the Four Heavenly Kings also changed back from their propeller-like forms and stood quietly behind Jiang Shu.

"So what exactly is the trouble?" Huang Helou asked.

Let me put it this way.

Jiang Shu paused his work briefly and explained:

"The Sand Demon has never been a simple entity. White Cloud City is the Sand Demon, and the Sand Demon is White Cloud City."

Huang Helou was shocked: "Baiyun City is the Sand Demon?!"

“Yes.” Jiang Shu nodded: “If I want to defeat him, I can only do the same thing I did to the Doctor. But the problem is that he is very big now. After I break him down, I can’t completely envelop him, so I can’t purify the even more powerful curse inside the Sand Demon.”

"What should we do?" Huang Helou had absolutely no idea what to do.

Although he had secretly grown to a level comparable to the Snow King after a period of secluded training and with Jiang Shu's constant private instruction, he already knew from Jiang Shu's brief description that his current predicament was far beyond his capabilities.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shu remained calm and composed.

"It's simple, I'll just become a Venerable One."

"Become a Venerable One?"

Jiang Shu didn't say much, but simply threw away the sand in his hand and muttered to himself, "Luckily, the sand outside is clean."

After saying that, he stood up and looked at the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Then, now it's time to put your skills to use and make me as many dolls as possible!"

Those creatures, understanding Jiang Shu's thoughts, nodded and then closed their eyes.

They all share abilities with Jiang Shu, including Jiang Shu's skills and stats, but they cannot share items.

Therefore, they can naturally use the [Undead Puppet Technique], but its effectiveness is much inferior to the original version mastered by Jiang Shu.

But that's not important. What Jiang Shu wants now is quantity, not quality.

The sand golems in the desert were already walking corpses, and naturally no soul could be found in them. However, Jiang Shu clearly remembered that the sand golems that crawled out of the sand tumors had endless resentment in them.

Jiang Shu could almost be certain that these sand puppets, which had been tormented and transformed by the desert, were vacuum-packed from the moment they left the factory!

As expected, their spirits not only still exist, but because they have never seen the light of day and are suffering pain and torment, regardless of whether they were ordinary people or guards in life, they have now been twisted into extremely strong beings, and most of them meet the conditions to be driven by necromancy.

The [Undead Puppet Technique] is not high enough to deal with the Sand Demon itself, but it is more than enough to deal with the small fry he created with very little effort.

So, after successfully targeting their enemies using the [Undead Puppet Technique], the Four Heavenly Kings immediately exerted their power, capturing these souls and then using the surrounding sand, which was not polluted by the desert, to mold people.

Because Jiang Shu's requirement was quantity over quality, they didn't strive for perfection and simply made five at random.

Logically speaking, souls that haven't undergone careful selection should be extremely stable.

But what can they do when they are all pitiful souls tormented by the Sand Demon? The powerful resentment within them, besides the pain itself, largely stems from their hatred of the Sand Demon.

After breaking free from the Sand Demon's control, these souls almost instinctively began to want to take revenge on the Sand Demon. Even though their rationality was extremely limited and they could hardly communicate normally like the Four Heavenly Kings, they could still sense the Creator's intentions. So, after simply understanding why they were liberated, they immediately resonated strongly with the Four Heavenly Kings.

Puppet Kaka! Loyal!

After they were created, they naturally shared power with the Four Heavenly Kings, only their effectiveness was further weakened.

But as I said before, Jiang Shu only cares about quantity, not quality.

And so these puppets created by the puppets began to create a new batch of puppets.

Before long, "ginger bundles" began to appear one after another in the desert.

They all look the same as Jiang Shu, but due to the gradual weakening of the [Undead Puppet Technique], they are not as exquisite as the Four Heavenly Kings, but are becoming more and more unrecognizable.

In the end, it became no different from a wooden stake.

But these details are not important; Huang Helou was so shocked by the increasing number of Jiang Shu clones that he was speechless.

"This is...this is..."

"An advanced version of the clone technique." Jiang Shu smiled slightly: "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

Looking at the "ginger clusters" covering the mountains and fields, Huang Helou's breathing gradually became rapid.

Is the difference really that big...?

So... if you need to do this to conquer this hatchery...

If it weren't for him, wouldn't I have been dead?

"Alright." Jiang Shu clapped his hands. "That's enough. We can't support creating anything beyond that. Look at that one, that one, it doesn't even have a human form anymore, it's a slime!"

To Jiang Shu's surprise, his words seemed to have little effect.

New clones kept emerging from beneath the sand.

"What's going on?" Jiang Shu was puzzled at first, then thought of something and said to the Four Heavenly Kings, "Pass it down, stop this."

The Four Heavenly Kings nodded and gave Jiang Shu's instructions to the sand soldiers they had each created.

Then it was passed down layer by layer until it reached the newly born sand soldiers, at which point the division and reproduction stopped.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu nodded thoughtfully: "So the vassal of a vassal isn't my vassal after all..."

Now he's a European gentleman.

So... scheduling is also a problem.

Jiang Shu pondered, deciding to divide the sand soldiers into groups of five, five groups into a squad, five squads into a platoon, five platoons into a company, five companies into a battalion, and then into regiments, brigades, divisions...

Soon after.

"Reporting to the Führer, the Avengers Army, totaling 1562500 men, is fully assembled!"

"very good!"

Jiang Shu nodded in satisfaction: "All of you, obey my command, henshin!"

And so, under the trembling gaze of the Yellow Crane Tower, a towering giant rose from the ground.

The giant slowly crouched down, stretched out his hands, and plunged them into the vast basin that felt like a washbasin to him, slowly prying it open...

Chapter 167 Light Speed ​​Response

Yellow Crane Tower stumbled and fell to the ground.
