Chapter 971 Sandstorm and Mirage
The big sandstorm lasted for a long time, and the whistling sound of the wind echoed between heaven and earth, as if there was some demon raging in the wind.
The way mortals look at sandstorms is naturally different from that of warriors.
Lin Chen clearly felt the terrible power contained in the sandstorm. This was by no means a simple weather phenomenon.
Of course, it was not necessarily that there was something controlling the storm. Perhaps it was caused by the leakage of some kind of power.
The wind and sand were getting stronger and stronger. The entrance of the cave where Lin Chen and his friends were located had been buried by yellow sand, and the earth was shaking, which showed the horror of the storm.
Lin Chen now believed that a powerful god had died in the wind and sand.
"Oh, we are buried alive," Zhu Zhu lay beside Xiao Mei, and then assured: "Don't worry, sister, Lao Zhu will protect you and will definitely not let you die here!"
Xiao Mei did not show much emotion, but she did not dislike this pig. She treated it as air. She looked at the fire in front of her. The wood was gradually burned into charcoal and the fire became smaller.
She looked around, then sat forward a little, and continued to remain silent.
Lin Chen's eyes twitched.
This snake woman called the master very happily, but her attitude was not low. Just say what you want.
Lin Chen took out a pile of firewood and put it on the side.
Xiaomei's eyes lit up slightly, then sat back a little, threw the firewood in, and the flames became brighter.
She just sat there, not knowing whether she was enjoying the process of roasting the fire or liking the flames.
Lin Chen did not explore, but stood up and casually laid a formation to gather spiritual energy and keep the air in the cave flowing so that it would not be exhausted by the flames.
"I'll go out and take a look," Lin Chen said.
He was somewhat interested in this sandstorm.
Xiaomei looked up at Lin Chen, then whispered: "Master, take care."
He continued to roast the fire, without any intention of seeing the master off.
Lin Chen shook his head and his figure flashed away.
After all, it is not the weak time before. No matter how thick the yellow sand is, you can reach the ground at any time by crossing the void.
On the ground, it was already yellow sand. The extremely violent storm swept between heaven and earth. The tearing force would tear weak warriors apart directly!
The sky and earth were dark, and nothing could be seen, but with the blessing of the black dragon's vision, Lin Chen could still see enough things.
With a loud "boom", Lin Chen saw that a large area of mountains in the distance were directly uprooted, and then crushed in the storm, turning into part of the yellow sand!
This great power of heaven and earth is really shocking.
"This power fluctuation is attached to every gust of wind. What is it that forms the storm?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed, feeling the strong wind blowing the yellow sand to hit him!
Then he flew to the center of the storm against the wind and sand.
The big sandstorm is continuous, not just a simple storm. The closer to the center, the more terrifying it is. The wind and sand have torn the void apart, and the dark void fragments are swept into the center of the storm!
Even Lin Chen was a little hindered when he arrived here.
Of course, it was only a few points.
The precious light on Lin Chen's body surged, and the strength of his body was enough to withstand all the attacks of the storm. He took a step forward and stepped directly into the center of the storm.
Here, the power of the wind reached its extreme. Every wind flow was an extremely small wind blade, cutting the void!
This cutting force was enough to directly cut the low-grade upper artifact into pieces!
And here, Lin Chen could feel the source of the power of the storm more clearly. This was divine power, and it was upper divine power!
The power of the gods!
"It's not a god, it's more like the incense power of the gods on land," Lin Chen whispered, but it was only a very subtle difference in characteristics.
Perhaps it was changed by external influences, and it was difficult to make a conclusion.
At that moment, Lin Chen stretched out his hand, his blood surged, and the violent power surged out instantly, which was more terrifying than the storm.
He opened his hand, like a god or demon pressing down his palm, the storm fought fiercely, but it was broken inch by inch, and the whole storm dissipated directly!
Lin Chen's power was enough to deal with such a storm. Of course, this was just one of the eye of the storm. There were at least thousands of eye of the storm in this big sandstorm. Even he could hardly get close to the core position.
Lin Chen did not intend to fight against the big sandstorm. He was just temporarily trapped at the moment, so he wanted to explore it.
An eye of the storm was suppressed by Lin Chen. He opened his hand, and a small storm was spinning fiercely in his palm, whistling endlessly!
And the terrible divine power contained in it was felt more clearly at this moment.
"Bai Shu, where does this power come from?" Lin Chen asked.
"Well, it's hard to judge. It does look like a land god," Bai Shu said, but it seems that these storms are more like indiscriminate release.
Lin Chen held the eye of the storm in his hand and slowly refined it. The extremely violent characteristics gradually disappeared, and finally there was only a divine power left, with an extremely pure wind power.
Putting away this power, Lin Chen looked at the violent sandstorms coming from all directions. The one he destroyed did not affect anything at all. The big sandstorm still swept the world.
Lin Chen did not stop and returned to the cave.
Seeing Lin Chen coming back, the piglet looked unhappy. It was so hard to be alone with the young lady, why did Lin Chen come back?
Didn’t he see that he and the young lady were progressing so quickly? Wasn’t the young lady willing to step on his face with her tail?
Lin Chen looked at him with disdain.
"Welcome to you master," Xiaomei said, but she didn't mean to welcome you at all.
She just loved looking at the fire.
Lin Chen sat down by the fire, took out the power, and asked: "Xiaomei, do you know what power this is?"
Xiaomei took a look and said, "Master, where did you get it?"
"Refined an eye of the storm," Lin Chen said.
"Is this so?" Xiaomei's eyes flashed slightly, then she stepped on Zhuzhu's face and stood up, walked to the firewood and started the firewood.
"Agreed?" Lin Chen was confused.
"Master, we can run away," Xiaomei said.
Lin Chen frowned, and then he felt the world begin to shake violently. The sound of the wind outside even passed through the thick yellow sand and was directly transmitted here!
There were roars everywhere, it was the bottom floor that was directly crushed by the storm!
A big sandstorm is attacking here?
Lin Chen's heart was shocked.
He immediately took action, rolled up Xiaomei and Zhuzhu, and flew away directly across the void. However, they fell out of the void not long after, but the entire void was shattered and crushed by the big sandstorm.
Traveling through the void in this situation is obviously not easy!
And where they were just now, a huge crater had appeared, and the violent wind was raging, drilling into the earth like a drill.
What's going on, the big sandstorm is deliberately encircling him?
This is indeed beyond expectation. It seems that there is indeed some kind of force behind these sandstorms.
At this moment, Lin Chen did not dare to neglect, his body turned into lightning, and headed straight towards the outside of the storm.
The purpose of his trip has nothing to do with this big sandstorm. There is no reason to get involved in it, which is a waste of time and energy.
However, the big sandstorm seemed to have intelligence. A large number of storm eyes chased Lin Chen. Such pure wind power was extremely fast, and Lin Chen could not get rid of it.
And the even more terrifying eye of the storm, and even the core eye of the entire great sandstorm, were quickly approaching Lin Chen!
This is to surround him!
Lin Chen snorted coldly, and the divine ring emerged from behind. Double Twelve, the terrifying power pushed out horizontally, making it difficult for even the storm to get close.
Xiaomei looked at Lin Chen. Even she could not express her surprise.
Such a breakthrough is truly shocking!
Then she hugged Chai Huo tighter, and Lin Chen led them in a straight line, and all the eyes of the storm could not stop him!
Instead, it was directly shaken away and refined!
Lin Chen used extreme speed to escape from the core eye of the storm. He had to be fast, otherwise if he was surrounded and became the center of the entire sandstorm, he would not be sure he could rush out!
In this way, Lin Chen flew for a day and finally got rid of the big sandstorm. The sky suddenly lit up, showing the endless desert and the bright moonlight pouring down on the earth.
Looking back, the terrifying sandstorm was still raging, but it was no longer chasing him, but heading in another direction.
It seems he gave up.
"How come this sandstorm is like a shark, chasing it so fiercely?" Zhuzhu said in fear after a while.
Lin Chen originally thought that the middle-aged man was exaggerating. How could such a huge vast sea desert and a mere storm stop commercial routes and even suspend the snake slave trade.
Now it seems that it is indeed terrible, and the business should be stopped!
"Master, find a place to light a fire," Xiaomei said.
"..." Lin Chen was speechless. He didn't know what Xiaomei's obsession with flames was. He said: "I encountered a big sandstorm before and took shelter for a while. Now that I have escaped, let's continue on the road."
"Master, does he know the way?" Xiaomei asked.
Lin Chen rolled his eyes. He needed a guide when entering the depths of the Hanhai Desert. This was because some dangerous restricted areas would change locations and it was difficult to mark on the map. Just like this big sandstorm, there was no fixed area at all, so he needed to be familiar with the desert conditions. people guide.
But we haven't gone deep into the Hanhai Desert yet. We just need to find the right direction, so how can we get lost?
"Then where should we go?" Xiaomei asked.
Lin Chen stretched out his finger, but suddenly hesitated. It is easy to tell the direction in the desert, just compare it with the stars.
But the starry sky at this moment, Lin Chen suddenly felt a little strange, as if it was covered with a layer of something, as if he was looking at a painting.
"Mirage?" Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.
For example, mirage is a type of mirage. Here, the entire starry sky is shrouded in mirage, and the stars seen do not match their original positions.
"That's troublesome. The Hanhai Desert is the largest desert in the mainland. The mirage covers the sky and the earth. No matter how high you fly, you can't avoid it," Zhuzhu said.
"Did you realize this was a mirage area early on?" Lin Chen looked at Xiaomei and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"No, but the big sandstorm has receded. This is unusual. It should have stopped in some special area," Xiaomei explained. She sat down and started to pile firewood.
After a while, she looked at Lin Chen without speaking.
"Okay, you can make a fire," Lin Chen sighed.
Xiaomei then started to light the fire, and then sat by the fire and stopped talking.
"What exactly is that big sandstorm?" Lin Chen asked. He felt that Xiaomei knew a lot, which was somewhat inappropriate for her weak realm and low status.
"It's the fallen ancient god," Xiaomei replied, but this answer immediately made Lin Chen stand up in shock.
"Ancient God?!" Lin Chen exclaimed!
"Legend has it that in the ancient past, there was a wind god who was extremely powerful, but he fell in the vast desert. He cursed the desert, and after his death, his power turned into a storm, becoming a nightmare for the desert creatures," Xiaomei replied indifferently.
Although Lin Chen saw that it should be related to the gods on land, he did not expect that it had such a great origin and was an ancient god.
The ancient god fell, but its power still raged in the world, which shows how powerful it was when it was alive!
"Just because of hatred, curse this desert?" Lin Chen asked.
"Not sure, maybe he is looking for something, or guarding something," Xiaomei said.
"How do you know this?" Lin Chen asked suspiciously.
This Xiaomei knows too much. How could a detained snake slave who will be sold in bulk have such experience?
"I heard it all," Xiaomei still had no expression on her face, and no emotional changes.
In this case, Lin Chen can only use his own method to get the answer. He directly uses Tianchen Soul Guidance to retrieve the memory in Xiaomei's soul. What Lin Chen did not expect was that Xiaomei's memory was blank!
Nothing!
Only newborns or people whose memories have been wiped out will be like this, and Xiaomei is obviously neither of them.
"Master, my head hurts a little," Xiaomei said, her tone still calm.
Lin Chen retracted his strength, watched Xiaomei continue to add firewood, and asked: "If I didn't take you away and you were sold, what would you do?"
"Try to survive as hard as possible," Xiaomei said.
"What if you meet a cruel master who wants to kill you?"
"Then I will die."
"..."
Forget it, Lin Chen gave up and no longer delved into Xiaomei's identity. Anyway, at present, Xiaomei is not in any danger.
However, if the power of this big sandstorm really comes from an ancient god, then Lin Chen really wants to try to see if he can absorb the power of the ancient god for his own use!
Of course, this is under the premise of having a chance. For now, it is better to leave this mirage area and go to the Holy City of Moi.
"What about this mirage, how to get out?" Lin Chen asked, looking back at the way he came, it has disappeared, the mirage covers everything, and it is not possible to go back.
"The mirage is actually moving like a sandstorm. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be out of the mirage tomorrow," Xiaomei said.
"What if something unexpected happens?" Lin Chen asked.
"Accidents are rare, and the master should not encounter them, but if they do happen, we may not be able to get out," Xiaomei said.
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows. He was very lucky and should not be so unlucky.
"Hey, what is that?" Lin Chen saw that there was a huge palace under the starry sky. Although it was still translucent, it was slowly manifesting!
Is it a mirage?
Lin Chen had never seen such a spectacle before and could not help but admire it.
Xiaomei froze for a moment, then looked at Lin Chen faintly and said, "That was an accident."
