Chapter 223 Burning plains, locusts licking the ground
Xu Fang called Mo Fan back, but no one answered. He must have already left.
Demons are particularly sensitive to electronic signals, and the places where they are located are often deserted, and it is impossible to install base stations there.
Except for the military's dedicated phone, other phones cannot be reached.
Speaking of military phone calls, Nan Jue, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, also called me. The last one was only two hours ago.
A phone call was made.
"Xu Fang?" Nan Jue's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
Xu Fang said: "I was practicing just now."
"Dunhuang, Zhuoyuan North Point, there is a mission that requires your help." Nan Jue expressed his intention simply.
“How are resources allocated?”
"Keep it to yourself."
"OK, send me the coordinates, I'll go there now."
Even if Nan Jue didn't call, Xu Fang would have to pull a team to go there. There are countless treasures in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan. Whoever doesn't want them is a fool.
After telling Liu Ru to draw the star paths on her own, Xu Fang immediately booked the nearest flight to Dunhuang.
When we arrived in Dunhuang, the endless stretches of brown sand made us feel insignificant. The land under our feet was like a small boat rocking in the brown waves.
"Xu Fang!" Not far away, Nan Jue waved his hand.
Long time no see, this girl is more handsome than before. She is 1.8 meters tall, has long thighs wrapped in leather pants, and has a very aggressive and cold face, which is enough to make any little boy fascinated.
Nanjue invited Xu Fang this time mainly for his mirage.
As early as when he was escorting the Pink River Dolphin, the attentive Nan Jue discovered the relationship between Xu Fang and those "demon".
"Originally we planned to use the psychic mage to cross the Shawang River, but for some reason, there was an evil influence in the northwest, and the Shawang River became manic, and even the use of spiritual ripples could not calm it down."
Nanjue said solemnly: "If I want to cross the Shawang River, I must ask for your help."
Zhuoyuan is surrounded by the Dunhuang Demon Tiger Clan. If you want to cross from other directions, you will have trouble with the Demon Tiger. Even a super-level mage would not dare to do this to seek death.
Shawang River is the only choice, but it is also not a kind place. Countless elemental demon soldiers can eat people without even leaving bones.
———Can’t even fly.
As long as there are creatures flying over the sky, a huge elemental dragon beast will rise up from the ground and swallow them as appetizers!
Nan Jue tried various methods and almost sacrificed two comrades before he made up his mind to invite Xu into the team.
······
Riding the local characteristic wind camel, everyone arrived at the Anjie boundary monument line, but the wind camel refused to go inside.
This thing is not as good as the sled dogs in the Northeast. At least they are stupid and bold. Even the monarch dares to bite him twice, and he can't lift his legs without being timid.
"Go forward on foot, and the earth mage will explore the way." Nan Jue ordered.
The earth mage in the team stood up and used the ground wave technique to sense the ground to prevent his teammates from stepping into the quicksand.
After walking for about five kilometers, a strong wind roared in the face, and several warrior-level Sand Howling Tigers surrounded them.
"Ready to fight."
Those present were all elites among the military mages, and they all had intermediate level three cultivations. With their cooperation, even the powerful Sand Roaring Tiger could not stop them.
"Magic vine!"
Nanjue used her secondary cultivation magic, and her plant system absorbed plant species. The green magic vines grew rapidly as if they were alive, locking a lone magic tiger tightly.
"Shen Ri!"
Xu Fangfang used his old fists to smash the Demonic Tiger, which was famous for its strong defense, into a puddle of mud, attracting everyone's surprised eyes.
move on.
What is very unusual is that you can still encounter a few monsters on the outside, but the deeper you go in, the smaller the density of monsters becomes. You can even walk a long way without encountering a single hair.
This is the work of fire.
You can see exposed spiritual seed fragments on the ground, and you can get your money in a million seconds just by laughing. It's more than a bit more reliable than Xixi.
But several of them are military mages, discipline comes first and mission comes first, and they concentrate on their journey.
Xu Fang no longer had such worries and directly released the poisonous blue locusts he got from Lan Yi and licked the ground like a field of wheat, making everyone's eyes warm.
"Good guy, can you still play like this?"
Soon, everyone arrived at the Shawang River area. The white sand river in front of them looked like a long earth-colored dragon crawling in Dunhuang. It was at least dozens of kilometers away from the other bank.
"It's so wide. If you are surrounded in the middle, you won't be able to run away." The mind mage in the team advised: "Why don't we take a shortcut and think about it in the long run..."
Nan Jue glanced at him lightly and immediately told him to shut up.
Xu Fang stood at the front of the crowd, took out a Worker Bee from the hidden star, and then took out a worthless Sand Roaring Tiger heart.
Buzzbuzzbuzz! ! !
The worker bees took the Sand Howling Tiger's heart and flew towards the Shawang River, only to see that the calm white sand suddenly exploded into layers of waves of sand.
A huge sand dragon jumped out of the sand and swallowed the worker bee together with its heart.
The whole process lasted only one second, and everyone watching was shocked.
They could feel that this sand dragon had at least reached the leadership level, and killing them was like killing a chicken.
"Mirage!"
Xu Fang looked calm and quickly drew the water star map.
In an instant, a sand dragon that was almost the same, but with a slightly different aura, appeared again.
The sensitive elemental creatures suddenly exploded in their nests. Looking around, there were countless white sand demon soldiers three meters in length holding sand-changing blades, and they were led away by the giant dragon.
"Let's go." Xu Fang raised his feet and left.
"Follow up quickly." Nan Jue followed without hesitation. She believed in Xu Fang's ability - the others were different, their expressions were tragic.
After a journey of dozens of kilometers, everyone was frightened.
Several times, white sand demon soldiers were formed right under their noses, and they couldn't help but use destructive magic to fight, only to be attracted away by mirages.
Gradually, everyone's tense bodies relaxed.
"Brother, cow!"
The psychic mage raised his thumb and said sincerely: "I, Lao Li, am convinced this time, and this is it!"
If I were to comfort myself, I would be too exhausted to reach the finish line.
But Xu Fang only needs to release a water magic lightly, and his task is only to cover up Xu Fang's magic fluctuations.
"What's going on? The reaction of these elemental monsters is too intense." Nan Jue walked beside Xu Fang and whispered.
In the past, the purpose of these elemental demons was only to defend their territory.
But just now, they couldn't find the intruder. Instead of disappearing, they actually started killing each other!
"I don't know either." Xu Fang shook his head.
The real reason is probably that Qin Shihuang's palace [Sha Yuan] passed by the Shawang River, and the huge evil energy belonging to the undead triggered a collective rampage of the Baisha Demon Soldiers.
Under the control of Heiting's unknown secret method, Sha Yuan will continue to go east and south, heading straight to the ancient capital!
······
A few hours later, everyone crossed the Shawang River without any danger.
In front of them, there stood a flat roof rising from the ground, appearing abruptly on the plains of the Gobi Desert.
It looks more like a volcano, but it is different from the traditional volcano that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The volcano in front of you is more like a giant pillar reaching into the sky!
"Let's climb up from the outside. Although the mountain is high, there are too many unknown dangers when walking from the inside..." Nan Jue said.
"Before I came here, I heard an old hunter say that this Fire Pillar Mountain looks vertical and steep. In fact, the rock mass is not as hard as imagined. A ladder can be carved to climb up."
