call

The night wind swept the remaining clouds, occasionally blocking the moon, making the dunes become light and dark; the unknown beasts trapped in the quicksand turned into bones under the devastating wind and sun, and only their heads poked out of the surface, dyeing this deserted deserted land with a hint of seclusion.

Not far from the animal bone, a round-faced girl with a cloak was holding a probe rod connected by several iron rods, piercing into quicksand and so on, carefully exploring the situation underground, and occasionally pulling out the probe rod to check the texture of the gravel and soil.

The job of finding opportunities is very boring and only related to luck. Everything else is secondary. Even if the Eight Lords come, they are not lucky and don’t find the right place, and they will be in vain.

Xie Qiutao felt that she was a person with great luck and would definitely meet him when she arrived in the sand. Unfortunately, the cruelty of reality made her understand what it means to "the world is unkind and treat everything as straw dogs"; she searched in the sand for many days, not to mention the fairy swords that came to her door, she didn't even encounter ordinary ores and spiritual beasts in the sand.

Of course, this is also related to Xie Qiutao following his feelings.

Xie Qiutao actually didn't have any special feelings. He just calculated his fingers and felt that it was pleasing to the eye in a certain direction, so he walked in that direction. To put it nicely, he had his will in the dark, and to put it bluntly, he was wandering around aimlessly.

I have studied maps in Feisha City. Most of the monks who came to search for treasures went deep into the sand sea, and the chances of finding them were higher. But Xie Qiutao's idea was different from ordinary people. Everyone knows that the depths of the sand sea are rarely visited, and they will search for them in the deep. Those immortal masters who were hiding in seclusion might go the other way and put the retreat directly outside. This is called "the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Now that everyone has not found a place to bury their bones, this idea is not without its merits, but unfortunately, it is not that easy to find treasures alone.

The waning moon was in the sky, and the quicksand land became dark again.

Xie Qiutao was carrying an iron pipa and stood beside the animal bones carefully checking the semi-wet sand dug with a probe. No results have been found yet. A slight abnormal movement suddenly came from the back of the sand dune in the distance.

Buzz

The ground trembled slightly, and the already soft and unbearable sand tumbling quickly like a mudslide. The half-buried beast bones completely sank into the quicksand, and Xie Qiutao's feet also fell into the sand.

Seeing something strange, Xie Qiutao threw down the pole, took off the iron pipa from behind, held his hands in his hands, looked at the sand dune, and scolded:

"Who is the person behind the scenes? Who is so unfair about martial ethics?"

The world is silent, and there seems to be nothing else except the yellow sand and the moonlight.

But the magic of the Sand Transformation Curse is easy to identify, and some spiritual beasts can do it. However, spiritual beasts will not deliberately hide their tracks when hunting. Only monks can do this.

Xie Qiutao waited for a while until the Sand Transformation Curse stopped and she was completely trapped, and five figures appeared on the ridgeline.

Looking through the moonlight, all five were men, wearing hats and cloaks and swords, dressed in a standard Zhongzhou swordsman, with a face covering; the man in the lead was tall, with a sword on his shoulders, and his eyes were unrestrained.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is no one around. I also start to use the black scarf to mask my face. You can tell what this scene is for at a glance.

Xie Qiutao frowned, glanced from left to right, and said:

"Several fellow Taoists, please don't provoke the wrong person. I am the direct disciple of Yingyang Immortal Palace in Huajunzhou. The eldest daughter of the Jiuzong Jingtu is my senior sister who is like a sister. Shangguan Jiulong, the young master of the Iron Clan Mansion, is my brother who has worshipped her. Have you heard of the Lord Linyuan? That's my Taoist protector..."

The five wild cultivators on the dunes were stunned before they could speak.

The man who was the leader of the sword fighting was named Zhao Qu, a casual cultivator who was wandering in the lower reaches of Lianjiang River. He had no special background. This time, he heard that he had the opportunity to be born in the sand sea, so he brought a group of friends to come over to try his luck.

However, Zhao Qu came here to try his luck, not to find a place to bury his bones.

The place where the bones buried must be occupied by high-level monks. Don’t even think of outsiders taking a sip of soup. Running to search for death is a search.

Zhao Qu and others knew this truth, but there were always some whimsical young people in the world who didn't know it. They thought they were blessed and their heads were so hot that they came alone.

In the Nine Sects, if they are not discovered by the other party’s sect, it will be given for free, and this is even more so in Zhongzhou.

Most of the monks in Zhongzhou did not rely on the sects and ran around this place with few people. In Zhao Qu's opinion, it was an opportunity to walk. Finding these people is much easier than finding a place to bury bones. Zhao Qu and others searched around the sand sea for half a month, and they made a lot of money after accumulating a lot.

Although this method makes money quickly, the misunderstanding disappeared on the spot, and Zhao Qu and others did not take it lightly.

Tonight, he found a lonely monk in the sand. Zhao Qu was very cautious and did not take action directly. Instead, he tried to see the other party's reaction. If the situation was not good, he would scatter and flee.

But when Zhao Qu's cautiousness was mostly relieved when he heard Xie Qiutao's outrageous "self-reporting home".

The direct legend of Yingyang Immortal Palace?

Is the young master of Jingtai a sister?

Is the young master of the Iron Clan Mansion a brother?

Is the Lord Linyuan the protector?

With this background, when you go to Jianhuang City as a guest, Jiang Chengjian, the lord of Jianhuang City, probably would have to go out to greet him and call him "The Nephew". Do you need to dig the ground outside the sand sea to explore treasures?

Zhao Qu walked slowly down the sand dune and stood still, looking at the little female cultivator in front of him:

"I didn't expect it to be a girl's house. It's rare for a girl to hang out in the sea of ​​sand. You said you are the eldest lady of Feisha City. We probably have to think about it. Are you cheating on these guys?"

Xie Qiutao was half-sank in the sand, frowned and looked at Zhao Qu, and said with caution:

"I'm serious, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Zhao Qu looked at Xie Qiutao's face full of freckles and sighed:

"Just like you, you can be a noble fairy. I am the Sword Emperor Zhongzhou. I don't look in the mirror to see myself. Are you worthy?"

Xie Qiutao's face darkened. She looked disguised, but her figure was not bad. What's the look...

Zhao Qu was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly: "We only rob money, not kill our lives, and throw away our belongings. It depends on your age and a woman, so I will leave you with a way out."

The scattered cultivator robs money, and there is no saying that he will save his life. If Qiu Jie does not kill the weeds, he may be brought to him in a few years and he will be raised all of his ashes. This statement obviously induces Xie Qiutao to give up resistance.

Xie Qiutao looked like she was not very experienced in the world. He hesitated for a while and threw the iron pipa and the small package on his shoulder a few feet away.

Seeing this, Zhao Qu smiled, holding a sword, and slowly walked towards the quicksand land...——

"Jijiji~..."

More than a hundred miles away, the ball dyed in sandy yellow flapped its wings vigorously, and passed through the night sky with the speed of lightning. It hit Shangguan Lingye's soft clothes before stopping, and used its wings to signal the west, urging Zuo Lingquan.

Shangguan Lingye caught Tuanzi with his hand, and from his expression, he knew that something very critical happened in the west; Tuanzi sprayed herself as a little bitch in the East China Sea, and now she doesn't have much combat power. She ran back and was obviously asking for help, but she was not sure who she asked for help, so she was a little confused.

Tang Jingwen and Jiang Yi were in front of the ancestor, and Wu Qingwan was staying in the sky. Zuo Lingquan didn't remember that there were people who Tuanzi knew nearby, but Tuanzi was so anxious that he kept urging him to go there quickly, which showed that this person had something to do with him.

"This place is not far from Feisha City. Could it be that your fifth brother and the others have come here too?"

Zuo Lingquan's face changed when he heard the sound. If something happened to his fifth brother outside, his third uncle and third aunt would have to blame him to death. He didn't have time to think too much, so he flew up and galloped westward:

"Let's go and have a look first."

The situation was unclear and the matter seemed quite urgent. Shangguan Lingye would not care about the defense between men and women at this time. Seeing that Zuo Lingquan flew too slowly on the sword, he grabbed Zuo Lingquan's shoulder.

Bang

A thunderous explosion sounded in the night sky.

Shangguan Lingye's speed suddenly increased to the extreme, and his strong sense of pushing the back hit the ball that was not as good as possible on his clothes, almost buried it in his full chest.

Zuo Lingquan experienced it once, but still couldn't adapt. His originally serious face was instantly twisted and deformed by the wind, and his bearded face was blown straight, "Woo whisper..." I can't even explain it clearly.

Although the ride experience is extremely poor, the amazing speed covers up all the flaws.

In just a moment, Shangguan Lingye had already crossed a hundred miles away. Halfway through the way, he noticed the faint fluctuation of spiritual energy ahead. When he approached the target, his speed suddenly slowed down and silently approached a sand dune half inside and outside.

The fake beard on Zuo Lingquan's face was blew up, and he had no time to sort it out. He carefully carried the sword and walked against the sand and resisted the wind. He had just moved forward not far and smelled the pungent smell of blood.

It was the smell of human blood, mixed with the smells emitted by various internal organs and even brain matter in the body, which was disgusting. Before you could see the situation behind the sand dunes, you could think of the tragic scene there.

There was no sound behind the dunes, no sound of fighting or spiritual fluctuations, and it seemed that the fight was finished.

Zuo Lingquan's heart tightened and he quickly came to the ridge line. The scene that reached the target made both of them shocked.

I saw a huge round pit appearing in the sandy land more than a hundred feet in a radius of sand dunes, like a meteor falling from the sky and hitting the ground.

The craters were filled with broken limbs and flesh. Blood seeped into the sand and gravel, turning the sand into black red. Blood still gathered into the center of the crater, and turned into a small pool of blood in the compacted crater.

The white bones and broken beast bones were mixed together, and you could still see the broken sword blade stuck on the ground and a blood-stained iron pipa lying alone on the sand.

The petite figure wrapped in a cloak moved slowly in a large pit covered with blood, looking staggering, and could tell who it was from its figure.

Thank you Qiutao?!

Zuo Lingquan was furious and wanted to rush over quickly to protect the thin and petite pitiful girl, but after looking carefully, he found...

He found Xie Qiutao squatting on the ground and moving slowly, holding half of the sword hilt in his hand, covering his nose and picking up the rags on the ground, searching for debris, and throwing them away from each other from time to time, muttering:

"Why are you so unrestrained? The white jade beads are smashed... I would have known that I would have done it with a gentler approach..."

“…”

Zuo Lingquan's expression froze, and his eyes that were originally terrified became hard to describe in an instant. He opened his mouth and looked at the dumpling squatting on Shangguan Lingye's chest, spreading his hands slightly, which was probably:

"Just these few casual cultivators kicked the iron plate, making me excited. Are you so anxious?"

Tuanzi squatted on his high-profile clothes, spreading his small wings and looking at Zuo Lingquan, and he was also very dissatisfied. "Jiji!" two sounds, probably saying:

"Let you run quickly and the hero saves the beauty. Now, the girl has finished fighting, and the birds give you a chance, you won't be useful~"

One person and one bird are not on the same channel, so we cannot exchange opinions with each other, but it is no problem to scare outsiders.

Xie Qiutao was seriously using the bone-touching technique to see if he could find good things and make the money come back this time. After all, the practice of "the magic weapon sounds, ten thousand taels of gold" is used, and the half-step Youhuang takes every effort. The consumed spiritual energy is converted into white jade beads, which can cost at least a hundred pieces. If you don't get the benefits after the battle, it will be a loss-making transaction.

He was ridiculed as if he was not good-looking, and he used too much force to smash several spiritual weapons. Before Xie Qiutao found the object he had recovered, he heard birds crying from afar.

Xie Qiutao looked stupid, but she was extremely alert when she went out. She turned into a sand curse and started. She could judge the opponent's level of Taoism from the scale of her magic, so she didn't run away. But the bird was so sudden that she could not judge the opponent's cultivation. She rushed out in the opposite direction without thinking, first opening up the distance, and glanced at the back.

This look is amazing.

I saw a man with a bearded sword standing in the wind on the dune, with his sword eyebrows, tiger eyes, eagle and hook nose. He looked fierce and straight, and he looked like a kind of martial arts madman who had no chance with a woman.

Next to it is a slender scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking feminine, looking like a monk who practices evil skills to make him neither male nor female; even the screaming sparrow is ugly and not pleasing at all.

The other party seemed to be difficult to mess with and didn't know each other. Xie Qiutao naturally thought that he was coming to seek revenge with Zhao Qu and others, so he immediately wanted to leave.

Shangguan Lingye did not expect to meet Xie Qiutao, and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that his disguise scared her away, he shouted;
To be continued...
