第85章 地宫
After Lu Sangjiu and his party entered the Lost Desert, they felt the power of this place firsthand.
Everything you see is yellow sand, and walking is much more difficult than in normal places.
Moreover, the sun was very hot. Although everyone had ice crystals to cool down, there was nothing they could do about the scorching sun. It felt like the skin was about to peel off due to the sun's rays.
Even when I was resting, I couldn't find a place to get shade. It was torture to death.
I didn't meet anyone else along the way, but there were quite a few poisonous insects, so I had to concentrate very hard to prevent the poisonous insects from suddenly jumping out from attacking.
This kind of life is simply boring and boring, making it difficult to suppress the irritability in my heart.
The only good thing is that Chi Yan's magic weapon pointing in the direction did not malfunction, and they can still have a clear direction forward.
After walking like this for three days, on the fourth day when a few people were meditating and resting together, they suddenly encountered a huge sandstorm!
Seeing the tornado covering the sky and the sun not far away carrying wind and sand, Feng Lin hurriedly took out her huge golden bell and covered several people in it.
Almost as soon as he completed this action, he heard countless sand outside hitting the golden bell, making a crackling sound that shook the hearts of the group.
I thought it would be fine if I persisted, but unexpectedly, only a moment later, everyone felt that the sand under their feet began to collapse!
The flowing sand was like a giant beast that swallowed people, dragging everyone in different directions in an instant!
"No, everyone, hurry up!"
If they were washed away by the sand, it would be difficult to find each other in this vast sea of sand.
Chi Yan was okay, but the others had lost their direction and were afraid they would be trapped in the desert without being able to get out.
The four people held each other's hands tightly and struggled as the quicksand rolled.
Feng Lin's golden bell was quickly lifted due to the collapse of the sand, and suddenly the sky was filled with wind and sand that swept everyone, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.
Soon, Lu Sangjiu felt that his left and right hands were empty one after another... Damn, they were completely washed away now!
With the world spinning and the earth spinning, Lu Sangjiu soon fainted completely from the torment.
Hiss...it hurts.
When he regained consciousness, Lu Sangjiu felt like his whole body was falling apart.
But thinking about all his previous experiences, Lu Sangjiu still felt that he was quite lucky...at least he could still wake up.
I just don’t know, are they just too unlucky, or is this desert just so powerful?
Lu Sangjiu had no evidence, but she strongly suspected that this bullshit God was deliberately trying to trick her.
After a while of random thoughts, Lu Sangjiu finally opened her eyes with difficulty... and then she froze.
Because as far as the eye could see, there was darkness!
Isn’t there no black sky in the desert? Could it be that she was a blessing in disguise, just walking out of the desert?
But as her consciousness spread, she realized that she had thought too much and that this place was actually underground.
What makes people feel strange is that in this secret realm that has existed for countless years, there is an underground palace...
Lu Sangjiu's current spiritual consciousness cannot extend very far, and it is difficult to perceive the entire underground palace.
All she could see was that she was in a long corridor, so long that she couldn't even feel the end of the corridor.
The only good thing is that there are no other living creatures around her, so there should be no danger for the time being.
But it also means that other people are not around.
Communication symbols are prohibited in the secret realm, and Lu Sangjiu cannot contact other people.
She could only quickly take a few healing pills and meditate to adjust her breath after making sure she was safe for the time being.
After a long time, the pain in her body was finally relieved, and most of her spiritual power was restored, and she opened her eyes again.
"Huh... I haven't seen anyone come here for so long. It seems I can only rely on myself."
Although she might have walked further and further because she had lost her direction, she didn't have time to wait here, so she had to try.
She looked at both ends of the corridor, and then released Duoduo, "They say you beasts have keen senses. Can you help me figure out which way to go?"
Duoduo: "..."
Why do you ask it to do something so easy to take the blame for once you let it out?
It was very reluctant, but it didn't dare to resist. It could only reluctantly close its eyes and try to feel it carefully.
After a while, Lu Sangjiu got its feedback.
"Is it this way?"
Lu Sangjiu looked at the dark corridor ahead, touched his chin and said, "But... there is no danger felt here, but it may not be the right way."
Danger always comes with opportunities. If the journey was smooth, she might even have to walk back to the Qishan Plains.
What's more, she always felt that this was the dog Tiandao deliberately trying to trick her in order to protect Ye Zhiyao, so it would be even more impossible to arrange a smooth path for her, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Sangjiu turned around decisively and walked in the opposite direction.
Duoduo immediately started chirping anxiously, and was slapped on the forehead by her, "Be my spiritual beast, you are so timid, if you keep asking me, your ice crystal will be confiscated!"
Duoduo: "..."
It suddenly became as quiet as a chicken and lay motionless in Lu Sangjiu's arms.
In fact, it wanted to go back to the spirit beast bag, but it was afraid that if Lu Sangjiu died, it would be trapped and die if no one opened the spirit beast bag.
So...even though it's a little dangerous outside, it's safer to stay outside!
Lu Sangjiu walked forward for an unknown amount of time when Duoduo suddenly called out again, reminding her that there was something going on ahead.
She stopped immediately, performed a breath-holding technique, and then continued to move forward cautiously.
Sure enough, not long after, she heard the sound of someone talking in front of her, and there were some faint lights in the originally dark corridor.
Afraid that Duoduo would make any noise, Lu Sangjiu put it away decisively and carefully moved forward a certain distance before finally hearing the content of the conversation clearly.
It sounded like two men talking. They were chatting at first. Lu Sangjiu waited patiently for a while before finally getting to the content he was interested in.
"Speaking of which, why didn't you just kill the man and woman you just captured? They are not weak. Keeping them would be troublesome."
"The elders said that more of our people died than expected, and too few people have arrived here safely now."
"But then we have to bleed to open the altar. If we bleed too much and we can't bear it, we have to grab some other monks to fill it up."
"But these two people are indeed not weak. I heard that they killed several of us."
"Our people secretly followed them all the way without daring to take action. Fortunately, we happened to encounter a sandstorm here, so we got an advantage."
"Even if there are two fish that slipped through the net, I don't know where they were swept up by the sand. If we can catch them and drain all four of their blood, that will be enough."
After that, the two people chatted happily, and one of them suddenly said, "Wait... there seems to be some movement over there. I'll go over and take a look. You guard this place!"
