Through the water mirror built into the hull, Wang Chen looked down at the desert below.
Although he had been stationed at Daying City for a short period of time and had fought fiercely with Sand People, it was the first time he went deep into this desolate land and appreciated the unique scenery of Western Regions.
After entering Great Western Desert, the speed of Flying Ship was greatly reduced and it was unable to maintain its original height.
This is because in the Gobi Desert, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is much thinner than West Sea Spirit Domain.
Magic Treasure Flying Ship mainly relies on absorbing Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space to maintain speed and altitude. In different environments, its performance must be very different.
If Wang Chen wants Flying Ship to fly fast in this area, he must inject his own mana and consume a large amount of spiritual stones to achieve it.
He would definitely not do such a loss-making business.
Although Wang Chen was on a business trip, the subsidy given by the sect was not much.
If he burns the spirit stone and rushes, he will definitely lose blood!
Furthermore, there are still ten days until Spirit Mountain Dharma Assembly is officially held. Even if Flying Ship is delayed, it is still completely in time.
Therefore, Wang Chen is on his way with a leisurely attitude of sightseeing.
Suddenly, a sharp eagle call came from far away, and a huge black eagle appeared in the water mirror, and quickly moved closer to Flying Ship.
There is also a gray-robed monk sitting on the back of the eagle.
Wang Chen recognized the other party at a glance as the wizard in the Sand Tribe!
With a flick of his finger, Magic Treasure Flying Ship suddenly glowed with a faint light, and a golden "swastika" logo appeared on the surface of the ship.
With the current strength of Wang Chen, plus the Magic Treasure Flying Ship under his seat, as long as the opponent is not Golden Core level's Great Shaman, it is no problem to kill him in the air.
But this time Wang Chen is not here to fight Sand Tribe. His current identity is the envoy sent by the West Sea Sect to Western Regions to observe the ceremony.
So show the Buddhist Sect logo to inform the other party.
The wizard who was driving the black eagle saw it, and as expected, he patted the eagle's neck and immediately turned around and left.
Wang Chen doesn't take it seriously.
Since entering the scope of Great Western Desert, the same situation has occurred many times.
Sand Tribe is composed of thousands of Minor Accomplishment tribes, large and small, occupying oases in the desert. They have their own power and territory, and they often have conflicts or even wars with each other. They are not monolithic.
Naturally, one is particularly wary of the appearance of outsiders.
However, no Sand Tribe tribe dares to offend Buddhist Sect. Strictly speaking, they are more like a group of vicious dogs raised by Western Regions Buddhist sect. Their survival depends on barking at their neighbors (West Sea Sect).
Therefore, Wang Chen's trick "Swastika Repelling Technique" works particularly well in the desert.
There is no question of Western Regions Buddhist sect pursuing it, because this is a tacit understanding between both parties that has not changed over the years.
Leaving the interceptor far behind, the treasure ship continued to fly west.
It was already sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the boundless desert with a golden coat. The scene viewed from the air was extremely magnificent.
In the distance, a fiery red smoke column shot straight towards Sky Dome, which was extremely conspicuous even from a distance of hundreds of miles.
And below the smoke column is a huge mountain range that stretches across the desert, stretching for an unknown number of miles from south to north.
Looking from a distance, many peaks are spewing thick smoke and flames.
Flame Mountain!
This is the only way from the desert to the core hinterland of Western Regions, and it is also a natural chasm.
Flame Mountain In the past, there was a vast and fertile basin.
At this point, Magic Treasure Flying Ship driven by Wang Chen seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, its forward speed dropped to an unbearable level, and the consumption of spiritual stones in the built-in magic circle increased sharply.
The height is also constantly falling.
The environment of Flame Mountain is extremely special, with natural air restrictions. It is said that even giant fairy ships cannot fly over it, and Golden Core True Person has to land obediently when it gets here.
Wang Chen was just a monk Purple Mansion. He was not arrogant enough to challenge the rules of heaven and earth, so he landed Flying Ship on the sand and put it away.
He took out Grand Mystic Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram, unfolded it, and summoned Big Green Donkey.
"Ang ang ang~"
Big Green Donkey rolled on the ground and jumped up with great agility.
Seeing Wang Chen again, it was very happy, screaming and jumping around, wagging its tail and sticking out its wet tongue.
Wang Chen pushed the guy's head aside in disgust, then stuffed a big radish into its mouth.
This is no ordinary radish, it is a fairy meal ingredient.
"Drive!"
Wang Chen jumped on the donkey's back and patted Big Green Donkey's furry neck.
While the latter was munching on carrots, he spread his hooves and ran forward, with puffs of dust and smoke rising behind his butt.
The speed is no less than that of a galloping horse.
This guy is holding back too much. After becoming Wang Chen's car, he spent most of his time in Grand Mystic Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram. Now that he has a rare opportunity to have fun, he naturally uses all his strength to show his value.
Wang Chen carries Two-Region Geomantic Map issued by the sect with him. Although it is his first time here, there is no possibility of getting lost.
The place he is going to now is Chituo City under Flame Mountain.
If you want to pass Flame Mountain, you must enter Chituo City.
There is a teleportation array in Chituo City. You can directly travel through Flame Mountain and enter the hinterland of Western Regions!
Big Green Donkey's footsteps were extremely fast. It took only half a stick of incense to carry Wang Chen to Chituo City.
Chituo City is built on the mountain, surrounded by countless sand dunes on the north, south and east. Its city walls are made of fire-forged rocks mined from the mountains. From a distance, they look like burning walls of fire.
When Wang Chen came over, a long camel caravan was entering the city.
This city on the edge of the desert is not the territory of the Sand Tribe. It is actually a Buddhist city. The surface of the city wall is covered with countless Buddhist scriptures and Sanskrit. It is said that there are more than a dozen temples in the city.
Wang Chen's understanding of Chituo City all comes from the information provided by the sect.
He followed the camel team and entered Chituo City.
Chituo City has a very special place, that is, there are city walls but no gates, and there is not a single person guarding the city.
No matter monks, mortals or monastic believers, everyone can enter and leave the city freely.
And there is no need to pay any fees.
So when Wang Chen entered the city, no one came to ask about his origins.
It was already dark by this time, and every house in Chituo City had lights on. The most conspicuous one was undoubtedly the Exquisite Buddhist Temple that stood in the city. The glazed lights hanging under the eaves reflected the colorful Spiritual Light, which looked particularly beautiful.
People come and go in the streets and alleys, and there are many shops, restaurants and hotels on the streets.
The pedestrians on the road include both Sand People and monks, but ordinary people make up the majority.
As for Daoist monks like Wang Chen, you can still see a lot of them here, and they are not rare.
The first impression Chituo City gave to Wang Chen was that it was rough and backward, but quite tolerant.
He noticed that although the people here were generally poor, most of them looked peaceful and showed no aggression.
Quite interesting.
