After a long period of rest, Lie Tiangang finally recovered his spirit. Before dawn, he set out again with Ye Li and Tunri, heading towards the opposite side of the Liuyan Sand Dunes.
Along the way, Tunri and Ye Li were both very alert. They didn't want any more puppets to be able to kill them, and Ye Li was not willing to take the risk of using Lie Tian Gang.
As they got closer and closer to the Liuyan Sand Dunes where the Tianyang Ancient City was located, the number of puppets appearing around them began to increase.
However, most of the victims were very weak guys. Not to mention dealing with Ye Li, even Lie Tiangang was stronger than them.
These puppets seemed to be able to only stay in the passage and could not move in the flames, so Ye Li destroyed all the puppets he met along the way.
At this time, Ye Li's doubts were becoming more and more obvious. He really couldn't figure out why these puppets appeared on their route.
Lie Tiangang said that such a situation had never happened from ancient times to the present, and it had never appeared in the records of their Shahai clan. These puppets clearly only appeared in recent years.
He hasn't been in the Liuyan Sand Dunes for decades since the last time he took Xuanji through them, so these puppets must have appeared in the past few decades.
Ye Li felt a little worried. If the Tianyang Divine Puppet really broke free from the seal, things would be troublesome.
The Tianyang Divine Puppet, which can absorb a large amount of Yangxing's power, will definitely restore its full strength. With the Tianyang Divine Puppet, he will become very dangerous after entering the Tianyang Ancient City.
He didn't have any helpers around him who could fight against the Tianyang Divine Puppet. Neither the Sun-Swallowing Divine Puppet nor the Yin-Fire Divine Puppet could fight against the Tianyang Divine Puppet.
With a nervous mood, Ye Li and Tunri took Lie Tiangang with them. It took more than half a day and they finally got through the Liuyan Sand Dunes.
When everyone passed through the red desert, an expression of relief appeared on their faces.
Ye Li glanced around and found that this area was no different from the other side of the Liuyan Sand Dune. The entire area was covered with yellow sand.
Ye Li took out the golden sun plate from his body, and then shone it towards the sunlight. A blurry ray of light shot out from the golden sun plate and then pointed in the direction of a sand dune.
Ye Li was very clear about the direction indicated by the light. Even if they needed the direction to go there, the ancient city of Tianyang was exactly where the light indicated.
Ye Li glanced at Lie Tiangang and said, "Senior, please wait for me here. We don't know if there will be puppets ahead.
It is dangerous for you to stay with us after all. It will be much easier to stay here than to move on!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Lie Tiangang moved his mouth.
He actually wanted to go with Ye Li, but there was a possibility of sudden danger ahead, so if he followed Ye Li, he would probably become a burden to Ye Li.
Once a battle breaks out, the help he can provide is very small. Ye Li asked him to stay here for his safety and the overall situation.
After sighing deeply, Lie Tiangang said, "My Lord, I understand that my strength is indeed a little stretched to the limit when I am with you.
I will dig a hole under the sand dune opposite and hide in it, and come out when you come back, sir."
Hearing Lie Tiangang's words, Ye Li said, "I just don't know if it would be unsafe for you, Senior Lie, to stay here alone."
Lie Tiangang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, sir. After all, I am also a member of the Sand Sea Clan. The entire desert is my home. No one in this world knows the existence of this place better than us, the Sand Sea Clan.
Although these puppets are powerful, their intelligence is often flawed. It is not easy for them to deal with me."
After hearing Lie Tiangang's words, Ye Li nodded and said, "I will be back as soon as possible. If you encounter danger, please try to escape.
The movement speed of these puppets is not very fast, most of them should not be able to catch you."
Afterwards, Ye Li watched Lie Tiangang walk to a sand dune opposite, and then used a special method to dig a cave and hide in it.
The cave in the sand dune is supported by a special object with earth-based spiritual energy, and will not collapse.
This method is also unique to the Sand Sea Clan. Ordinary people have no way to dig holes in the sand dunes.
The sand dunes are extremely soft, and the holes dug will be filled up immediately, and the space inside the holes cannot support them at all.
After separating from Lie Tiangang, Ye Li took the Sun Devouring Art back into his body.
Ye Li's speed is the fastest among them, and when the Sun-Swallowing Creatures stay in Ye Li's body, they are the most flexible.
They can completely follow Ye Li and only appear when Ye Li needs them to fight.
Firstly, they can attack the enemy without any preparation, and secondly, their slower speed will not hold Ye Li back.
Ye Li shuttled through the desert at an extremely fast speed and, following the guidance of the golden sun disk, headed towards the ancient city of Tianyang.
Ye Li didn't know the exact location of Tianyang Ancient City, but as long as there was sunlight, the golden sun disk would release light to guide Ye Li's direction.
Along the way, many puppets rushed out from the sand and attacked Ye Li.
These puppets are all golden red in color, and they all use the power of Yang.
These puppets have strange shapes, including centipedes, spiders, mosquitoes or bees, as well as various animal puppets. They all use the power of Yang. Ye Li has completely determined their origins, and they must have come from the ancient city of Tianyang.
However, he didn't understand why the puppets in Tianyang Ancient City were in the desert. If the puppets in Tianyang Ancient City had been left in the desert since ancient times, then Xuan Ji should have encountered these puppets the last time he came here.
Since Xuan Ji has not encountered these puppets, and Lie Tiangang has never seen these puppets, it can only mean one thing: these puppets were not in the desert in the past, and they did appear recently.
Thinking of this, Ye Li's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he even began to wonder if the seal of Tianyang Ancient City had been broken.
After all, there must be more than just Lie Tiangang, the descendants of the Tianyang Ancient City. There are also many descendants of the Tianyang clan, and some of them may also hold the Sun Golden Plate.
If these people were the ones who opened the ruins of the ancient city of Tianyang, then the appearance of these puppets in the desert would not be surprising to Ye Li at all.
