After half a month.
After several days of rushing to work, the edge of the mountains around the mountain, facing the southern barren desert, urgently built dozens of large and small fortresses, relying on favorable terrain to form a solid defense position.
Above the fortress, a group of monks shuttled and patrolled in an orderly manner, and every distance on the fortress wall would see a giant crossbow, large magical objects, etc., emitting bursts of intense light.
Several streams of light floated in the sky from time to time. Upon closer inspection, it was the monks of various forces with different costumes, and there were even teams of dozens of people who were reinforced to the fortresses, and everything seemed to be in order.
These are all due to the establishment of the Southern Wilderness Alliance, which has formulated a relatively complete system in this short period of time, which has completely rectified the originally chaotic situation.
In addition, the whole towering mountain, starting from the mountainside, was shrouded in a gray misty light curtain. On the light curtain, mysterious runes circulated endlessly, and it looked hazy from a distance. Hazy, I can't see everything in the mountain at all.
On a fortress built close to the mountain, a black light galloped from a distance, hovered in the air, and fell on a section of the city wall.
The black light dissipated, revealing Liu Ming's figure.
Above the city wall, the Celestial Elephant Monk Lion Roar in the Sky Demon Valley, and more than a dozen monks were already standing here.
"Senior Lion Roar, and fellow daoists, I'm sorry, but because I sacrificed a magic weapon, I delayed the time and made everyone wait here for a long time." Liu Ming walked over quickly and said apologetically.
"I'm just waiting, you don't need to care about Liu Daoyou." Lion Roar waved his hand and said indifferently.
Next to Lion Roar, there were three or four disciples in the Crystal Transformation Period wearing Sky Demon Valley costumes. After seeing Liu Ming, they bowed their hands to Liu Ming. Naturally, Liu Ming would not put on airs and salute them one by one.
Except for the people in the Sky Demon Valley, the rest of them have different costumes, and they should be the monks of small and medium forces from all over the Southern Wilderness.
One of them has a strong figure and long red hair.
Liu Ming was very impressed with this person, it was the Brown Dragon Mountain that he had seen when he came to Chedi Mountain.
The entire team, including Liu Ming, had a total of four true pill cultivators, and the rest were all disciples of the Crystallization Stage.
"Since Liu Daoyou is here, let's get ready for a while, and the other teams are already a step ahead." Lion Roar looked around and said.
The people present naturally had no objection after hearing this.
The next moment, in the increasingly dim sky above the mountain, the group of people turned into streamers, flying towards the southern barren desert like a band of colored clouds, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
…
Ten days later, after a long journey, Liu Ming and his team finally came to the edge of the Southern Wilderness Desert.
Liu Ming looked up and saw that there was an endless desert in front of him. The sand was yellow and black, but at this moment, the entire desert, wherever he entered his eyes, was a raging gust of wind. From time to time, the column soared into the sky, wandering around wildly.
The black dust covering the sky and the sun almost obscures most of the sky, giving people a sense of darkness.
Only then did Liu Ming understand what the so-called "Black Sand Day" meant.
"The black sand storm has begun to raging, and it happens that we can use this to hide our tracks. According to the intelligence explored by the alliance, the bad wind and sand will also affect the perception of the borer, but you should not be careless, try to converge your breath along the way, after all, this time The mission is to sneak in. Okay, let's go." Lion's roar turned his head and said to the others, a cloud of yellow glow lit up on his body, and he flew into the black sandstorm.
Everyone glanced at each other and cast secret techniques one after another to converge the mana fluctuations on their bodies, and only released a layer of body protection light to resist the wind and sand, and then proceeded with the lion's roar.
Along the way, under the glance of Lion's roar's powerful mental power, everyone bypassed the place where the scorpion tribe gathered one after another.
However, as we entered the desert deeper and deeper, the surrounding scenes also changed.
Because of the sandstorm, the surrounding light was very dim, and the sun above it was almost invisible. The black gravel frequently beat on the light of the monks' body protection, making a patter of rain like bananas.
At this moment, Liu Ming's body was surrounded by a faint black air, which easily isolated the black sand and violent winds.
But other monks, because of what Lion Roar said, did not dare to use magic weapons with strong mana fluctuations.
Facing such a ferocious black sand storm, the few true core cultivators were nothing, but those cultivating crystal stage cultivators were obviously struggling over time.
The lion roar that was walking in the forefront suddenly stopped, and looked back at the people behind. With a flick of his long sleeves without saying a word, an earth-yellow streamer appeared.
This small streamer was bright and shiny, and the surface was covered with a dark yellow halo. Following the roar of the lion’s roar, a piece of yellowish yellow mist appeared on the streamer, which swelled up, enveloping the group of monks. stand up.
As soon as the raging sand and wind touched the muddy yellow mist, it disappeared instantly like a mud cow entering the sea.
Everyone suddenly felt lighter, and those disciples in the Crystallization Stage showed a sigh of relief.
There was also a trace of surprise on Liu Ming's face. These yellow mists looked very inconspicuous, but they could isolate the wind and sand in such an understatement, and the mana fluctuations emitted were very small, mixed in the wind and sand, and it was extremely difficult to be noticed.
"This is a hidden sand banner, although it is not a treasure, it is effective in covering mana fluctuations." Lion Roar glanced at everyone around and said.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words and shouted at the lion to thank them.
"You guys replenish your energy, and there will be a bitter battle waiting for us." The lion roared, with a stroke, the hidden sand flag rolled up the bodies of the people and flew away into the sandstorm.
After a while, it disappeared into the black sandstorm.
…
The Southern Wilderness Desert is extremely vast, covering an area of one hundred thousand miles. Liu Ming and others have been flying for more than half a day before they gradually approached the group's destination.
In the extremely vague sight, the black sand and stones pounced towards him like a trend, even with the protection of the yellow mist, ripples from time to time appeared.
At this moment, they became more cautious, constantly adjusting their route to avoid the frequent gatherings of sting borers.
Fortunately, the black sand is already very dense here, and the speed is extremely fast, which well conceals the path of a group of people.
The hiding effect of the hidden sand banner is very significant, even if the borer is very close, there is no trace of Liu Ming and others in such a big black sand storm.
On one occasion, dozens of giant worms of the Singularia clanidae flew by less than a hundred meters away from Liu Ming and his group, and the existence of Liu Ming and others were not found.
In the yellow mist, everyone looked solemn, and they were always alert to the surrounding situation.
When the group flew over a huge sand dune more than ten feet high, Liu Ming's expression suddenly changed.
In front of the sand dunes, a huge fuzzy black shadow quickly moved straight toward this side, extremely fast.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed with black light, his eyes instantly penetrated the sandstorm, and he saw the dark shadow clearly.
It turned out to be a giant black worm that was seven or eight feet tall. It seemed a little smaller than the human-faced black borer he had killed before, but it was also a true core borer from the perspective of its aura.
However, this worm is very weird. The two extremely powerful hind limbs, and the yellow and black armor shells that meet each other, show some green juice from time to time, and the black sand around them suddenly emits misty blue smoke. There were three extremely protruding eyes on his head, as if they were about to fall out of the body, they looked terrifying.
This head is a giant insect like a praying mantis. With a kick on its hind legs, it has moved a distance of tens of feet in an instant, as if it was flying. Each jump left two huge pits with a depth of ten feet on the sand, and the violent wind and sand around it did not affect it at all.
This huge sting borer appeared so suddenly that everyone had no time to avoid it. The bug had already appeared less than thirty feet away in front of Liu Ming and his group. There was a gleam of cold light in its three eyes, a neighing sound in his mouth, and a strong hind limb. Pushing on the ground, his figure turned into a black light and swooped over.
Lion's roar frowned and waved his hand, and the khaki-yellow streamer above his head burst into light. The area covered by the yellow cloud was enlarged tenfold, enclosing the odd-shaped stem borer.
"Kill this insect quickly, and don't attract the attention of other borers." Lion Roar ordered, but he didn't make a move.
Every move of a monk in the celestial state will bring about violent fluctuations in the vitality of the heavens and the earth.
When the other monks heard the words, they all agreed to surround them.
The mantis-shaped stem borer didn't care about the surrounding Huang Yun at all. Its body turned into a black phantom, and it flew towards the nearest Liu Ming. Two machete-like forelimbs slashed towards Liu Ming's body.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed, he gave a cold snort, and his figure became blurred. In a blink of an eye, behind the mantis giant insect, a black fist shadow slammed on the mantis giant beast's head.
The fist hadn't touched the giant insect, and a suffocating heavy fist pressure rolled in an instant.
At this moment, the giant insect showed a hint of surprise in its eyes, but its reaction was quite quick, and its body shrank suddenly, trying to avoid the blow.
As a result, the next moment, the giant praying mantis found that as it moved its body, the black shadow of the fist also shifted a bit like a shadow, and fell on its head appropriately.
The giant worm was shocked. Before the shadow of the fist touched its head, a layer of black light appeared on the surface of the body, which could hardly condense a faint black gas shield.
There was a muffled noise!
The black gas shield broke at the sound, and the giant praying mantis was struck by a huge force, staggered, and withdrew seven or eight steps to the back, instantly spewing countless bloodshot eyes on the surface of the entire head.
