I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

In addition to Lu Shanqing, Fu Yao, who was ranked eighteenth, also practiced Earth Bending.He tried it too.

Song Yushan's Five Elements Escape also had similar effects to Earth Movement Technique. She also wanted to experience the power of the desert in person, so she joined them.

The magical power of Earth Movement is different from that of Earth Escape. Earth Escape is a short-distance escape with the help of earth-attribute aura, while Earth Escape is a real escape into the earth, controlling the soil to push oneself forward.

In comparison, earth magic powers are more flexible and changeable.

The three of them used their magical powers together and escaped into the desert underground.

As soon as he was buried, Song Yushan felt an obvious difference.

The sand is loose, so it should be much easier to escape than the dirt. However, the desert sand seems to be particularly slow and stagnant, making it very difficult to control.

It's not like running through sand, but like running through rocks.

Lu Shanqing and Fu Yao had a harder time than her.

Almost immediately, they no longer planned to go deeper into the ground. If they were not careful, they might not be able to get out.

When the three of them were about to return to the ground, the surrounding sand shook slightly.

The three of them looked towards that place with their consciousness, and a group of fist-sized yellow-brown beetles came towards them like a tide.

"It's a sandworm!" The three people who were familiar with the "Desert Beast Illustrated Book" immediately recognized it.

The sandworm looks small, but it is not simple.

Its mouthparts are poisonous. After being bitten, the wound will turn to sand and must be washed immediately with clean water to detoxify.

Moreover, sandworms are gregarious beasts, and every time they appear, there are at least a thousand of them together.

For monks in the Tongxuan Realm, a group of sandworms is just a minor trouble, but encountering sandworms underground is not a good thing.

The three of them immediately fled to the ground.

Fortunately, they were not far from the ground and sensed the movements of the sandworms in advance, so they returned to the ground before being caught up by the sandworms.

"Alert! There are sandworms!" Song Yushan came out first and notified others on the ground as soon as he came out.

Everyone was immediately on guard.

Everyone is wearing magic weapon-level robes. The mouthparts of sandworms cannot bite them, but they need to be careful not to let them get into their clothes.

Everyone showed their special abilities and used defensive techniques to protect themselves.

If the 25 people attack separately and do not cooperate well, it may cause confusion in the scene and be counterproductive.

So before setting off, they made an agreement that 25 people would start according to ranking, and they would take turns taking command during the battle, one person at a time.

This was the first encounter after entering the desert. It was commanded by Song Yushan, who was ranked number one. After she informed the sandworms of the news, she immediately began to direct the battle: "Go forward if you are good at water magic, and assist with thunder magic. Others will retreat." back."

The nemesis of sandworms is water, and the thunder method in the water can increase the damage.

Everyone immediately acted according to her orders.

As soon as the sandworm appeared, several people who were good at water magic immediately flooded it with rolling water.

The sandworm was immediately cooled by the water, and its carapace and tentacles softened when they touched the water.

At this time, a monk who was good at thunder threw a few thunder balls into the water. They exploded with a crackling sound, and a burnt aroma filled the air.

This small group of sandworms that came with great momentum were all scorched by electricity.

From the time Song Yushan and the others returned to the ground until all the sandworms were eliminated, it only took fifteen breaths in total.The battle is over, and many people are still looking into the ground with their consciousness: "Is it gone? I only used a water condensation technique!"

"This is still the edge of the desert, there shouldn't be any powerful beasts." Sikong Qian said.

Song Yushan nodded slightly: "They must have been attracted by the movement of our escape. It seems that in the desert, the escape technique is completely useless."

"It seems we have to walk honestly." Lu Chuan sighed, thinking about how difficult it would be to walk on foot in the rolling yellow sand for several years: "It's getting late today, let's go to the desert to rest for the night, and then go into the desert tomorrow. !”

They had been traveling for several days before reaching the edge of the desert.

Although it is easy for them to deal with sandworms, it does not mean that they can still do so smoothly after entering the desert.

Sandworms are just the most common beasts in the desert. The deeper you go into the desert, the more dangerous they become.

They need to maintain their condition while increasing their speed as much as possible to ensure that they reach Jiuzhou City safely.

At this time, everyone was not in good condition, so they withdrew from the desert together, deployed defensive and warning formations, stationed themselves on the spot, and resumed their breath control.

On the second day, after the condition was restored, everyone entered the desert again and followed the compass' guidance to the center of the desert, where Kyushu City would appear.

Not long after entering the desert, they encountered wild beasts again, a group of red-backed sand scorpions.

They were lurking under the yellow sand in front of them. When they passed by, they rushed out from their feet and clamped their tail pincers on their ankles.

In fact, they had been on guard against the danger lurking under the yellow sand and used their spiritual sense to detect it, but they still fell for it.

The carapace of the red-backed sand scorpion is very conspicuous to the naked eye in the desert, but it is difficult to detect it with spiritual consciousness.

There are many beasts in the desert that are good at sneak attacks, such as sandworms and red-backed sand scorpions.

Fortunately, everyone knew about it in advance and specially prepared cassocks and shoes. The red-backed sand scorpion was very successful in hiding, but its sneak attack failed.

It only caused confusion for them for a short time when it suddenly appeared, but in the end it was solved without causing any harm.

After that, they were harassed by wild beasts one after another.

Most of them are small gregarious beasts. Their single attack power is not strong and they are easy to deal with.

But they appear too often.

Just after noon, 25 people took turns taking charge.

Because most people go together every time, their energy is consumed a lot and they have to stop and adjust their breath to recover.

After recovering this time, at Song Yushan's suggestion, everyone divided into groups.

When encountering this easy-to-handle small beast again, they no longer attack together, but divide into groups and take turns to attack, while the others just avoid.

Such a small beast can be dealt with by a large-scale spell. It would be a waste if several people attack it at the same time.

Take turns to control the consumption of Qi, so you don't have to stop and adjust your breath every half a day like today, which wastes too much time.

The frequent battles on this day made them cooperate with each other more and more tacitly, and also made them quickly familiar with the desert environment.

In the evening, they stopped on the top of a sand dune.

In the desert at night, there will be strong winds and sometimes sandstorms, so you have to find a place to take shelter at night in advance.

For mortals, it is very difficult to find a safe place to rest at night in the vast yellow sand, but for monks, it is very easy to build a shelter.
