Xu Chunniang accidentally fell into the quicksand.
In an instant, the sand under her feet had unknowingly covered her ankles, pulling her down continuously.
She tried to lift her feet, but before she could lift her right foot, her left foot suddenly sank several inches, and she was so frightened that she dared not move again.
Several sand scorpions that were chasing closely also entered the quicksand area. Not long after, the figures of those sand scorpions were completely swallowed up by the quicksand and disappeared without a trace.
Upon seeing this, a deep light flashed in the eyes of the Sand Scorpion King, and he issued an order to stop the other sand scorpions from moving forward.
Then, the group of sand scorpions gave up the prey that was right in front of them and retreated backwards.
Sand scorpions have lived in this yellow sand desert for many years and have encountered quicksand many times, so they are naturally aware of the power of quicksand.
The fate of being swallowed by quicksand is death.
Watching the sand scorpions retreat like the tide, Xu Chunniang did not feel the slightest bit of joy in her heart.
In just a few breaths, the quicksand had reached from the ankles to the calves and was still sinking further.
Compared to thousands of sand scorpions, this quicksand may seem harmless, but it is actually deadly. Once you step into the quicksand, it is extremely difficult to escape.
Xu Chunniang did not dare to move rashly, but the downward force she was bearing became more and more terrifying. If she did not take action, she would soon be swallowed up by the quicksand like the sand scorpions before.
However, being on quicksand, if one moves rashly like before, one's body will only sink faster.
It seems that no matter what choice you make, it will be a dead end.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She still remembers very clearly the scene of those sand scorpions being swallowed. The smaller the sand scorpions were, the faster they sank, while the larger sand scorpions sank a little slower.
In addition, the sand scorpion that struggles the most is the one that is swallowed up the fastest.
While she was thinking, the quicksand had already reached her knees and she could not wait any longer.
If she doesn't take action, the only fate that awaits her is to be swallowed by the quicksand.
Xu Chunniang suddenly made a bold move. She leaned back and fell directly onto the quicksand above her knees.
A magical thing happened. Just as she fell backwards, the downward trend of her body slowed down.
Although the quicksand was still pulling her down, the speed was much slower than before.
Xu Chunniang lay on the quicksand, listening to the tiny sounds of the flowing sand, and constantly thinking about how to escape.
Although she temporarily slowed down the force of sinking through this method, the crisis was not over as long as she was in the quicksand.
She tentatively moved her left foot, which was sunk the deepest, but with the slightest movement she could clearly feel her body sinking.
At the same time, as the legs sink deeper and deeper, the pressure on the legs becomes heavier, making it difficult to pull them out easily.
Xu Chunniang frowned deeply. After being trapped in the quicksand, even if she could hold her breath, her body could not withstand the increasing pressure.
She tried to use the light body technique to reduce her body weight, but this method was only a temporary solution and only slowed down the sinking trend a little.
As time went by, the quicksand had already covered half of her body.
Xu Chunniang tried various techniques to stop her body from sinking, and even tried to wrap her body with water binding.
However, although the quicksand looks light, it is actually extremely heavy. The water binding technique cannot last long and will be burst by the weight of the quicksand.
After the water binding technique exploded, the water fell into the quicksand, causing the quicksand's sinking speed to increase sharply.
Xu Chunniang could clearly feel her body sinking half an inch, and her ears were touching the quicksand.
Looking from above, her whole body was wrapped in quicksand, and the area below her knees was deeply sunk in the quicksand, which was extremely dangerous.
If the situation continues like this, it won't be long before she is completely swallowed up by the quicksand.
In the face of life-and-death crisis, Xu Chunniang's eyes lit up and she performed the Spirit Rain Technique almost without thinking.
I saw raindrops continuously falling in other areas around her body.
After the rain water came into contact with the quicksand, it sank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon formed a large pit about three feet deep.
Only where Xu Chunniang was was not touched by any rain, and the ground remained at its previous height. As the sand around her continued to drop, the quicksand on her body loosened a lot, and the pressure suddenly decreased.
Xu Chunniang did not act rashly and continued to use the spiritual rain technique.
As rain and quicksand mixed together, the pit reached several feet deep, and the quicksand on her body no longer sank, but continued to surge in all directions.
As the quicksand continued to flow out, her legs finally broke free from the quicksand.
Xu Chunniang rummaged through her storage ring, found a piece of low-grade black iron stone, and gently threw it into a nearby pit.
After throwing it, half of the black iron stone sank into the quicksand mixed with water, while the other half never fell. She made up her mind and rolled on the ground without hesitation and fell into the pit.
Seeing that her body was no longer sinking, Xu Chunniang turned over and stood up, using a dust-cleansing technique to clear away all the sand and dirt on her body.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If she hadn't observed the situation when the sand scorpion was swallowed, found a way to alleviate the sinking of the quicksand, and accidentally discovered that water could accelerate the sinking of the quicksand, and used this method to save herself, she would probably have been deeply trapped in the quicksand at this time, and no one would be able to help her by crying out to the sky or the earth.
No wonder everyone says that the territory of Ozawa is extremely dangerous. The quicksand alone is hard to guard against.
However, after this experience, it was not completely useless. Xu Chunniang found a way to deal with the quicksand, and she was more confident of getting out of this yellow desert.
She took out the concealment formation and meditated inside it to recover. She had to continue her journey early the next morning.
After a few hours, the sky brightened.
Xu Chunniang put away the formation and was about to leave the deep pit when she caught a glimpse of a small piece of sand exposed in the southeast corner. The texture of the sand was very solid, and the color was darker than the other sands.
Only when she got closer did she see clearly that there were several faint black lines on the sand. She didn't know whether they were naturally formed or added artificially.
Xu Chunniang picked up the white spear and poked it lightly on the sand. The sand was unexpectedly solid and did not break after the poke.
The white-pole spear is a top-grade spiritual weapon, and the spear head is extremely sharp. It can even break the brown-armored lizard with amazing defense.
But the small piece of sand in front of him could block the power of the spear.
Xu Chunniang suddenly became interested. She was just testing it and did not use any force, but it was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this sand.
She gripped the white spear tightly, poured spiritual energy into it, and stabbed it hard towards where the sand was.
Under this full-force blow, the sand could no longer withstand it and instantly shattered into pieces, revealing a hole as big as a bowl.
A gust of cold wind blew out through the crack.
Xu Chunniang stared at the hole in front of her with a strange look in her eyes. It turned out that there was something hollow under the sand!
