Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 553 Sixteen

After nine hours of darkness, almost without missing a second, a big sun was flying high in the sky. The sun was blazing in the sky, and the heat was rising. It was also a rolling heat wave in this desert sea.

The sky is full of yellow sand, and that land full of vitality seems to have lost its source of vitality in this boundless bloodshed. The exotic flowers and plants, and the towering ancient trees are all withering visibly to the naked eye.

And as this withering continued, the boundless tide of sand-tailed scorpions completely submerged this oasis that was not supposed to belong to the barren desert sea in just a few breaths.

Until the last trace of life in it disappeared, it was as if the scene had reappeared. Without the presence of foreign enemies, each sand-tailed scorpion returned to its original intelligence and the existence of a single creature.

All the madness, all the dullness, are all gone.

Among them, two silver-white sand-tailed scorpions flew one behind the other, swaggering across the sky, heading towards the unknown depths of the desert sea.

But such an abnormality did not cause the slightest ripple in the desert sea, and the wave of will did not react at all.

A few days passed quietly.

On this day, two silver-white sand-tailed scorpions flew across the sky for several days before finally landing on a sand dune one after another.

Compared to this vast desert sea, this stretch of sand dunes seems to have not changed at all.

In the body of the silver-white sand-tailed scorpion, Chu Mu was holding a gray-white compass, and his expression was obviously dignified.

In a few days, without the obstruction of the beast tide, the speed was naturally not slow as he was on his way with one heart and one mind.

In just a few days, these two silver-white sand-tailed scorpions traveled more than ten thousand miles across the desert sea.

And during this journey of more than ten thousand miles, the scenery I saw was no different from what I saw before.

Everywhere you look, there is a sky full of yellow sand.

In the sand sea, there are still endless sand-tailed scorpions, and no living creatures other than sand-tailed scorpions can be seen.

The entire desert sea is filled with weirdness almost everywhere.

The simplest point is, how do the endless sand-tailed scorpions survive in the vast desert sea without any other non-sand-tailed scorpion creatures?

High-level monsters may not need to rely on blood food. They can swallow spiritual energy to meet the needs of the monster body. However, if low-level monsters do not have blood food at all, it is obviously difficult to meet their survival needs just by swallowing spiritual energy.

This is no different from those who cultivate immortality.

If a cultivator wants to completely live without grains and not eat the essence of grains and meat, he must at least have the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Some special beings who rely on blood food for cultivation, some even reach the golden elixir realm, find it difficult to completely break away from the grain.

The desert sea is endless and the sand-tailed scorpions are endless, and most of them are first- and second-order beings.

These sand-tailed scorpions seem to be living creatures, but in fact, they are like dead puppets. They do not prey on each other, and there is no entrance for blood. It is strange to wander in this vast desert sea.

and……

Chu Mu lowered his head and looked at the gray-white compass in his hand. The compass was similar to the five-element compass designed by him.

The only difference is that the Five Elements Compass detects and monitors spatial fluctuations.

And this compass named "Dingling" is used to track the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Compared with detecting spatial fluctuations, just tracking the fluctuations of spiritual energy is obviously not at the same level of difficulty.

After all, spiritual energy is everywhere, and under normal conditions, it is basically impossible for spiritual energy to fluctuate.

Once a spiritual energy fluctuation occurs, it is either caused by the natural creation of heaven and earth, such as spiritual veins, mineral veins, or seas of magma and fire.

Or maybe the monk's practice and fighting will produce corresponding spiritual energy fluctuations.

And any slight fluctuation, no matter how far the distance is between the peaceful world of spiritual energy, will inevitably have a corresponding chain reaction in the general environment of spiritual energy.

Through this chain reaction, it is undoubtedly easy to detect the corresponding spiritual energy fluctuations. If the distance is relatively close, the cause of the spiritual energy fluctuations can even be determined through the degree and abnormality of the spiritual energy fluctuations. As early as the beginning of that year when he came to the world of cultivating immortals in the vast sea and went out to sea to hunt monsters, he had refined a similar detection treasure. Subsequently, as his weapon refining skills improved, just like his illusory god face, there were many improvements.

The Five Elements Compass can basically only monitor spatial fluctuations within a radius of several miles, while the monitoring range of this Dingling Compass has been expanded to hundreds of miles in radius. If the detection accuracy is not considered, this distance can even be expanded to nearly a thousand miles.

And here, the compass that had been dormant for a long time in his storage space undoubtedly came into play again.

Above the light gray compass is a mirror-like crystal clear surface, as if it encompasses the entire desert.

Routes spanning thousands of miles are also reflected on the compass.

However, this route is not a straight span, but twists and turns, as if it is deliberately avoiding something in the middle.

And this is indeed the case.

After all, the appearance of Qin Zhaoxue undoubtedly means that this strange sea of ​​sand is not as recorded. Each monk entering this ruins cave has a different trial level.

This side of Mohai has obviously broken this rule.

And in the past few days, this fact has been proved once again through this spiritual compass.

At this time, on the crystal clear sand sea of ​​the compass, every bend of the route spanning thousands of miles was marked with one or several clearly visible black spots.

Every black spot means an abnormal spiritual energy fluctuation detected by the Dingling Compass.

Judging from the nature of the spiritual energy fluctuations detected by the compass, without exception, they are all obviously spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the tide of sand-tailed scorpions. A considerable part of them can even clearly detect the monks' mana fluctuations.

Obviously, although the reason is not known, apart from Qin Zhaoxue, there are already many other monks who have entered this sand sea trial.

In just a few days, he had noticed more than ten fingers.

Disguised as a sand-tailed scorpion to hide from the enemy, once aware of this abnormal fluctuation, it is natural to avoid it and stay away from it.

Otherwise, when they get close to a certain distance, what awaits them may be the control of that will, making them unable to control themselves again.

hum...

At this moment, the compass trembled suddenly, and then, on the crystal clear compass mirror, another extremely clear black spot appeared just in front of them.

"Sixteenth."

Chu Mu frowned slightly, and then he looked ahead and saw rolling yellow sand. It was also vaguely visible that all the sand-tailed scorpions moving around were converging towards the place where the spiritual energy fluctuations were.

Judging from the situation he summarized across thousands of miles, once an outsider appears in a certain place, the surrounding sand-tailed scorpions that are active within at least three to four hundred miles will gather together.

In the end, an endless tide of beasts formed, fighting to the death.

However, even now, he still doesn't understand what is the significance of this trial in Mohai?

Endless tide of beasts?

Want to eliminate the source of manipulating sand-tailed scorpions?

But the problem is that under this endless tide of beasts, it would be extremely difficult for any monk to protect themselves, let alone search for the final source.

Even though he has traveled thousands of miles to hide the truth, he has not found any useful clues.

Looking around, except for the desert, it is still a desert, except for the sand-tailed scorpion, it is still a sand-tailed scorpion. It is like copying and pasting, endless and boundless.

The foreign monks I met, without exception, were all struggling under this boundless tide of beasts, looking for a chance to survive.

As for the wave of will, he could clearly sense it, but where the source was, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get a glimpse of it.

This desert sea is like a... prison?

Chu Mu seemed to feel something and raised his head to look at the sky.

The scorching sun is high in the sky, a bright sun, extremely hot, yet extremely illusory.

He cultivates the True Fire of the Great Sun, and his perception of the existence of the Great Sun can be said to be sharp from the source.

But above this great sun, he could not feel the slightest aura fluctuation belonging to the great sun...
