Chapter 649: First sight of sandworms (please subscribe, please collect)
"Assess the situation, don't reveal your wealth, don't be greedy, and don't be moved by external things. If you don't suffer a heavy blow in the future, you will at least have the opportunity to be promoted to the late Jindan stage."
"If there is a chance to meet again in the future, I can try to win over the sect on behalf of the sect and become the sect's guest minister."
After Sun Mingsheng left, the lady of Jiuzhou Pavilion not only did not show any anger, but showed appreciation. If he had known about it, she would probably have a dumbfounded expression.
Of course, considering Sun Mingsheng's character and the Sun family behind him, this so-called wooing is bound to have no effect at all.
I am afraid that the two of them will never have the chance to meet again in this life. At this time, after completing the transaction, Sun Mingsheng did not continue to stagnate in the Phantom Oasis, but left as soon as possible. On the latest Jade Slip of the Desert Map of the Western Regions Go to the next destination under the guidance.
Because of the howling desert storms all year round, the terrain here is changing almost all year round, so it is also very important to update the map to avoid getting lost in the desert.
In the deserts of the Western Region, there are some monks in the foundation building and refining stages who update the map in exchange for spiritual stones to maintain their own practice needs.
In addition to the howling of the storm, sandworms are also an important factor causing changes in the desert terrain. These strange creatures feed on the desert that contains spiritual power and moisture deep in the desert. They mainly live in groups and are not naturally fond of move.
A swarm of sandworms can range from hundreds to thousands. With the efforts of the entire group, a sand dune can be eaten into a bottomless sand pit in a day and a night.
For monks, the biggest threat when walking in the desert of the Western Region is also sandworms. Once the aura of a monk enters its sphere of influence, the attacks it will suffer will be continuous.
Faced with this kind of attack that relies purely on numbers, unless they have countermeasures or break out of the encirclement at the first opportunity, most monks will have almost no solution.
These sandworms usually feed on sand, but they are also extremely eager and eager to eat blood.
Since Sun Mingsheng entered the desert of the Western Region, he has been constantly running around but has never had a head-on confrontation with the sandworm swarm.
For him, the sandworm swarm is not too troublesome. After all, he has a colony of more than 30,000 black-striped ants, and it is still expanding under the continuous cultivation of the queen.
That would be fine if the sandworm does not appear. If it does, the final result is still unknown. The relationship between the hunter and the prey is also undetermined and may change at any time.
In addition, sandworms feed on the sand at the bottom of the desert. Through their special digestive system, all the spiritual energy and water in it are digested to meet their own needs.
However, a small amount of spiritual materials contained in the sand are accumulated in their bodies bit by bit, especially some third-level sandworms. The accumulated spiritual materials in their bodies are third-level spiritual materials, and their value is also not low. They can be called a walking treasure house of spiritual materials.
Because of the black-striped ant colony as a means of coping, Sun Mingsheng not only had no fear of sandworms, but actually seemed eager to try them.
After all, the combat effectiveness of sandworms is almost at the bottom among the same level. They have just barely reached the threshold of the third level, so there is nothing to worry about.
It's just that this special kind of monster, the sandworm, usually hides at the bottom of the desert. As long as it doesn't show up on its own initiative, the Golden Core monks can't find its traces.
Sun Mingsheng's next target is Earth Fire City, which is also the largest oasis in the entire Western Region desert. It is controlled by the Ximen family, the largest family in the Western Region.
The Ximen family is a family that has been inherited for more than 10,000 years and has never cut off the inheritance of the Yuanying stage. It is said that there are at least seven monks in the Yuanying stage, three great monks in the late stage of Yuanying, one in the middle stage of Yuanying, and three in the early stage of Yuanying. The best existence in the entire Western Desert.
According to Sun Mingsheng's records from some jade slips from the Western Regions, more than ten great monks in the stage of becoming gods appeared in the Ximen family, four of whom successfully ascended to the spiritual world.
Earth Fire City is the only giant oasis in the Western Desert that has been discovered so far. Its area is about a hundred times larger than the Phantom Oasis that we just left. It can be called a large piece of land in the desert.
The biggest contributor to the formation of such a large oasis is undoubtedly the lake that occupies more than half of the oasis' area.
It is said that the center of this lake can stably produce three to five drops of fourth-level mid- to low-grade spiritual water every year. This is also a major help for the Ximen family to stably appear the ancestors of the Nascent Soul stage.
The most bizarre thing is that what occupies the remaining half of the Earth Fire City Oasis is the rich underground fire veins. The two are adjacent but there is no conflict at all.
The Ximen family is no different from the other large and small families and sects in the entire Western Desert. They are also famous for their weapon refining. The only difference is that they are stronger. There are seven Nascent Soul stage monks in the family, six of whom are fourth-level weapon refiners. , are all beings who have successfully refined at least one fake spiritual treasure.
In addition to the Ximen family, there are also a large number of weapon refiners in the Earth Fire City who rent the abundant earth fire resources here to refine various magical weapons, spiritual weapons, magic weapons, etc. of different grades.
It can be said that the entire Earth Fire City, except for the core part where the Ximen family's headquarters is located, the rest of the area is a paradise for weapon refiners.
Naturally, the Earth Fire City attracted a large number of monks from other places, especially some large caravans from other regions, who even devoured the different levels of magic weapons, spiritual weapons, magic weapons and even fake spiritual treasures produced in the Earth Fire City. More than 70%.
Such large caravans always have at least one Nascent Soul Stage monk in charge, and they usually trade directly with the Ximen family. The remaining small and medium-sized caravans deal with large and small shops specializing in weapon refining in Earth Fire City. trade.
Sun Mingsheng kept thinking about everything about Earth Fire City and the Ximen Family, but he accidentally entered a territory belonging to the Sandworm.
In the depths of the desert, sandworms of various sizes are constantly twisting their plump bodies. There are more than three thousand of them, and they are tangled together one by one. They look so dense that it makes people's scalp numb.
In the center of all the sandworms are three that are as thick as human thighs and have three haloes of different colors appearing on their bodies. They are the leaders of this group of sandworms, three third-order low-grade sandworms.
Led by three third-order low-grade sandworms, the entire colony kept moving upwards. Their seemingly bloated bodies were like nimble fish in the desert.
"The breath of sandworms? It really takes no effort to get it without looking anywhere. I wonder who will win between sandworms and black-striped ants? Who can be better?"
Sun Mingsheng did not run away as soon as he noticed the aura of the sandworms like other monks. Instead, he showed an interested look and stood calmly and motionless, waiting for the appearance of the sandworms.
In less than half a cup of tea, sandworms appeared in front of them one after another. These sandworms surrounded Sun Mingsheng from all sides to prevent him from escaping.
