The Moving Yellow Sand
On their side, they were on guard against anyone leaving.
Ning Qi had already moved far away from their guarded area.
By this time, he had already entered the dense forest.
"Master, there are no more Sword Spirit guarding this place!"
After observing for a while, Medicine Spirit spoke seriously.
"Okay, let's go. The Gobi Desert area we visited before is just ahead."
Ning Qi nodded, then said, "Let's go out from here and rest for the night."
"We'll travel at full speed tomorrow and reach the entrance we came from very soon."
"Yes, once we get there, we'll have Shi Xiaokun open the Inner Realm passage."
"We can go out now."
Medicine Spirit nodded and said with emotion, "After being in here for so long, we can finally get out."
"There's really nothing of value left here. They've already looted everything."
"Good!"
Ning Qi nodded and said, "In that case, let's go!"
After saying that, he continued on his way.
With the aid of their Flying Vessel, their speed was incredibly fast.
The journey that originally took several days was shortened to one day.
Soon, it got dark.
"Call!"
Before nightfall, Ning Qi and his group boarded Flying Vessel.
We have arrived at the border area between the dense forest and the neighboring area.
Here, you can hear the roars of beasts from time to time.
"Master, shall we rest here for the night?" Medicine Spirit asked after looking around at the surroundings.
"Okay, this is fine."
Ning Qi nodded and continued, "Go and investigate what else is going on here."
"Tu Hu, find a safe place to rest."
"Yes, Master!"
"..."
The two men respectfully accepted the order and then dispersed.
Ning Qi has arrived at the border area.
Gazing into the distance.
Here, we can already see some of the conditions in the Gobi Desert.
To his surprise, there was a vast expanse of yellow sand.
Strange, there wasn't this yellow sand when we arrived! Ning Qi squinted, carefully observing the situation of the yellow sand.
I have a vague feeling that something is wrong.
He focused a wisp of his Divine Sense and continued to observe carefully.
We want to understand what exactly is going on with this yellow sand.
However, after observing it, I still couldn't figure out what it was.
"Master, it's safe here!"
At this moment, the Medicine Spirit returned to report.
"I've found a place to rest!"
Tu Hu also rushed back and respectfully said, "It's over there."
"Hmm, look at the yellow sand ahead! Is something wrong with it?"
Ning Qi nodded and focused his attention on what was ahead, offering a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Medicine Spirit and Tu Hu turned their attention to what was ahead. They both frowned simultaneously.
"I can't tell, isn't this just ordinary yellow sand?"
Medicine Spirit looked at it and shook his head.
"Master, I feel there's something wrong with this yellow sand."
However, Tu Hu insisted, "It's obvious this isn't ordinary yellow sand!"
"I was inside, and I could feel the fluctuations of life force."
"What, it has life?"
Upon hearing his words, Medicine Spirit's expression immediately turned serious. "How come I didn't see that?"
When it comes to vitality, Medicine Spirit is the most qualified to speak on the matter.
After all, the Life Essence within him was the strongest.
That's because you didn't look carefully!
Tu Hu smiled and continued, "This yellow sand is definitely not simple; we need to be careful." "Yeah, I also feel something's wrong."
Ning Qi nodded, then said, "So, we must keep a close watch tonight."
"Be very careful if anything seems unusual."
"In that case, why not just go and take a look?"
Medicine Spirit paused for a moment before saying, "Anyway, we're going to get through here, so it doesn't matter if it's a day later or a day earlier."
You're right.
Ning Qi nodded and looked at Tu Hu: "So, are you confident?"
He was also Spirit Beast, so he was able to sense that something was wrong.
Perhaps he has a way to avoid danger.
"Yes, I'll go check it out and see what's going on!"
Tu Hu nodded, speaking with great confidence.
"Okay, then be careful!" Ning Qi agreed, then added, "If you notice anything amiss, come back."
"Let's discuss a solution."
"Clear!"
After responding, Tu Hu abruptly left.
"Master, should I go with him?"
Seeing him leave, Medicine Spirit came over and asked.
"No need."
Ning Qi shook his head and said with a smile, "He's stronger than you, having more people would just be troublesome!"
"Good!"
Medicine Spirit didn't insist and promised to keep a close eye on the direction Tu Hu left in the future.
Ning Qi also observed the situation.
His eyes were fixed on Tu Hu; he was ready to lend a hand if anything went wrong. "Hoo!"
At this moment, Tu Hu was ahead, already deep in the Gobi.
He came to the top of a hill and suddenly stopped.
We began to observe the condition of the yellow sand.
I want to know what this yellow sand is.
After observing it carefully for a while, he still couldn't figure out what it was.
This made him frown involuntarily.
"Call!"
Tu Hu walked a little further, once again feeling the yellow sand.
We could already hear the waves emanating from the yellow sand.
This is clearly not ordinary yellow sand.
Inside, he could even hear them communicating. Tu Hu understood, and focused all his attention on what was ahead.
"Rustle..."
Tu Hu walked a little further and heard the sound of the yellow sand being blown by the wind.
"Hmph, just making things complicated."
Tu Hu snorted coldly, and then suddenly unleashed his aura.
The powerful aura surged, causing the void here to tremble and fluctuate.
This sudden surge of energy drew in all the yellow sand in the area.
Every grain of yellow sand focused its attention on the Tu Hu.
At this moment, Tu Hu finally realized that something was wrong.
He was shocked to discover that the yellow sand was actually made up of tiny insects.
Each insect also exuded a powerful aura.
In fact, this is in no way inferior to a master with the strength of True Immortal. If it were just a grain of sand, it wouldn't be worth mentioning.
However, the yellow sand here is endless, and no one knows how much there is.
If they join forces, even experts with the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal would have to be wary of them.
"Damn it, this is a real problem."
After attracting the attention of the yellow sand, Tu Hu quickly realized he had gotten himself into trouble.
"Rustle!"
The yellow sand began to rush towards him.
A series of grinding sounds erupted.
It's terrifying.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tu Hu had no intention of making a move.
In the blink of an eye, he had already turned and fled.
"Whoosh!" "Swish..."
The next moment, he heard the sound of yellow sand chasing after him from behind.
Some of the yellow sand was blocked by the bushes and sand behind him.
However, in the blink of an eye, everything that blocked their path was swallowed up by the yellow sand.
Tu Hu glanced back and felt a chill run down his spine.
I never imagined that this yellow sand would be so strong.
If they get caught, they'll be devoured without a trace.
He gritted his teeth and continued to flee.
Ning Qi quickly discovered the situation here.
"Master, something's not right."
"I think he was fleeing back this way!"
Medicine Spirit also noticed the situation. At this moment, standing here, they could only see Tu Hu running wildly in their direction.
Behind him lay endless yellow sand.
It looks as if he's hiding from the yellow sand.
But they didn't know that Tu Hu was actually hiding from a man-eating worm.
"Something's not right, set up a formation!"
Ning Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Look, look at where this yellow sand has passed."
Nothing will be left.
"Even the hills have been swallowed up by them."
"Oh? It really is!"
Upon seeing this, Medicine Spirit's eyes widened immediately.
He looked on with disbelief.
I never expected the yellow sand to be so strong. "Set up the formation, prepare the Flying Vessel."
"If all else fails, we'll have to retreat!"
Ning Qi gritted his teeth and began setting up the If Water Three Thousand Formation here.
At the same time, he also circulated the Immortal Power within his body.
He immediately set up his Time-Difference Formation formation as well.
The Medicine Spirit wasn't idle either.
The Flying Vessel has already been summoned.
"Whoosh!"
With just one sound, the Defensive Array on the Flying Vessel were suddenly activated.
In the blink of an eye, the two were ready.
"Master, this yellow sand is infested with insects, and they're very strong!"
At this moment, Tu Hu also fled back. He spoke to the two of them from a distance.
"Okay, you come back first!"
Ning Qi nodded and gestured for him to come over first.
"Yes!"
As Tu Hu agreed, he accelerated again.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the two of them.
At this moment, the yellow sand behind them also rushed over.
"Buzz!"
However, just as they were about to rush forward...
A screen of light suddenly erupted from there.
It suddenly blocked all the yellow sand from entering.
This, ironically, allowed Ning Qi and his group to be protected here. "What's going on?"
Upon seeing this, Tu Hu immediately showed a look of curiosity. "How come there's a light barrier here that can keep all this yellow sand out?"
A look of brilliance gradually appeared on that face.
Originally, I thought we were going to have a great escape.
Surprisingly, it's no longer needed.
"If I'm not mistaken, this must also be the work of the Sword Spirit King!"
Ning Qi frowned, looking at the situation before him with a serious expression.
"This is..."
Upon hearing this, Medicine Spirit hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't quite figure out what it was.
"Hmph, he did this on purpose!"
"The goal is actually quite simple! It's to trap everyone here." "That way, they'll have no choice but to go to the Inheritance Land!"
Ning Qi snorted coldly, a smile appearing on his face, "This yellow sand, if it were anyone else, would be impossible to break through."
"However, if he encounters us, things might change."
"Master, do you mean that the Sword Spirit King intends to trap everyone here?"
Upon hearing his words, Medicine Spirit immediately understood.
"That's right, otherwise, it would have been impossible to set up a light screen here."
"In this way, the main goal is to protect these people from being caught and killed by the yellow sand."
"And these people, after being trapped here, will definitely go to the Inheritance Land."
Ning Qi laughed and said, "What a cunning old monster!"
"Unfortunately, he ran into us!"
Tu Hu then asked, "Master, since you say so, have you already thought of a plan?"
"Hmm, not bad." Ning Qi nodded, then asked, "What are insects most afraid of?"
"It's just Ants, isn't it?"
"My Inner Realm is filled with countless Ants!"
"The yellow sand here is simply not enough to compare!"
"Oh yeah, how come I didn't think of that!"
Medicine Spirit suddenly realized something. "Master, if we summon the Ants, we can easily get past here, right?"
"Hmm, but let's not rush it!"
Ning Qi waved his hand, looking at the yellow sand blocked out in front of him. "We'll rest here for the night."
"Let's conserve our energy and set off again tomorrow!"
"Good!"
Medicine Spirit agreed, "Then let's prepare to rest!"
After they made up their minds, Tu Hu also found a place to rest. The three of them rested together, and the night began to fly by.
Ning Qi woke up first after daybreak.
He looked at the yellow sand here, which had already dispersed.
They regrouped in the distant Gobi.
"Master, shall we set off now?"
The Medicine Spirit came over and asked.
"Okay, I'll summon all our Ants!"
Ning Qi nodded, and then began to summon the Ants.
He first opened his Inner Realm portal.
Then a group of Ants were summoned out of the Ant Nest.
"Whoosh!"
As the Ants appeared, they began to follow his instructions and head into the Gobi ahead.
"Keep up!"
Ning Qi waved his hand, signaling Tu Hu and Medicine Spirit to follow at the same time.
And so they rode on the backs of several Ants.
We started walking into the Gobi.
Along the way, wherever the Ants passed, the yellow sand seemed to see a ghost.
They all made way for them.
After a short while, Ning Qi and his group arrived in the heart of the Gobi Desert.
"Master, it really works! This is the power of bloodline suppression among Spirit Beast!"
Medicine Spirit said easily, "That way, no one can stop us from leaving here."
"Yes, but we still need to be careful!"
Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "After we get past this point, who knows what surprises the Sword Spirit King has prepared for us!" "This time we were lucky to have the Ants to suppress us, but next time that might not be the case!"
"Indeed, this Sword Spirit King has many tricks up his sleeve!"
"He deliberately lured everyone over there before catching them all at once!"
Tu Hu said in deep agreement.
"It's alright, since we've discovered it, we have a way to deal with it!"
Medicine Spirit's confidence soared, and she showed no fear whatsoever.
"Alright, let's go!"
Ning Qi clapped his hands, making the Ants beneath him speed up.
We continued our journey through the Gobi.
Medicine Spirit and Tu Hu followed closely behind.
Along the way, their Ants march was met with no resistance from the yellow sand.
They could only watch helplessly as they passed through. "Remember, conceal your presence!"
"I feel that the Sword Spirit King can see this yellow sand!"
"If he discovers someone passing through here, he'll definitely take action!"
Ning Qi reminded the two of these things as they walked.
"Yes, Master!"
After responding, Medicine Spirit concealed his aura once more.
The same applies to Tu Hu; follow suit.
The group continued their journey.
