The Taoist's Calamity (1)

Next, they had to rely on the flying Abomination. Li Wei patted the Abomination on the back, Abomination cry, flapping its wings and flying straight up. In an instant, the scenery on the ground became like a compass, very...

A gentle breeze blew by, invigorating Li Wei and filling him with a surge of heroic spirit. At that moment, he really wanted to shout, but that was just a thought.

Because in this aerial world, there are other things besides him.

For example, blind people are one of the more numerous types of monsters.

In addition, there are many other types of flying subterranean demons, whose strength varies. Leaving aside the weaker ones, even Li Wei had no choice but to avoid the stronger ones.

It was like the giant "mosquito" Li Wei encountered after flying for half an hour.

Li Wei prefers to call it a mosquito wearing armor.

Because this enormous flying monster, which is over a meter in size and resembles a mosquito, has a keratin layer that is several centimeters thick on its body. From a distance, the keratin layer appears as a glossy blackish-gray that can reflect light.

After taking one look, Li Wei quickly moved away, because this monster actually possessed strength equivalent to a level-one Reincarnator.

"Level 3 organism, Giant Armored Mosquito"

This is its name, and it's a level 3 creature. If it were on the ground, Li Wei could put up a fight, but this is high in the sky.

When it's someone else's territory, it's natural to temporarily avoid confrontation.

The location the Daoist mentioned was in the southwestern mountains, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest city. Fortunately, with the help of the Abomination, Li Wei arrived in just over an hour.

From a great distance, Li Wei could see a Sand City.

With a flick of his Abomination, Li Wei slowly landed before this Sand City. This was the second Sand City Li Wei had seen. According to the mission description on the Yellow Paper, there were four such Sand City in the world, and they should all be occupied by various reincarnators now, right?

Li Wei let the Abomination fly into the air to wait for him, and then walked towards the Sand City.

The place the Daoist mentioned is here. Perhaps he has already occupied this Sand City, Li Wei thought, and then scanned the Sand City with his Eye of Perception.

But the result took Li Wei by surprise.

Lun-level Sand City, Status: Unclaimed, Attributes: Unknown, Garrison: None

Is this a ghost town?

How could that be!

Li Wei wasn't a fool. The mission posted on the Yellow Paper stated that any Sand City closest to the Reincarnators would appear on their map. Four days had passed since the mission was posted; there was no way an empty Sand City would still exist. If Li Wei saw a large group of Reincarnators vying for it, he would find it normal, but now...

Moreover, this Sand City had no garrison.

Everything seemed a little strange!

After circling the Sand City, Li Wei found nothing; it was indeed an empty city. Li Wei slowly walked to the city gate and placed his hand on it. The message displayed on the gate asked whether he wanted to occupy the empty city.

Just as Li Wei was about to choose to occupy Sand City, he heard someone behind him hurriedly say, "Absolutely not!"

Li Wei quickly withdrew his hand.

Because he recognized it clearly as the voice of Daoist.

Turning around, I saw a tired-looking Daoist Daoist wearing an ancient Daoist robe walking quickly towards me.

Seeing that Li Wei was alright, the Daoist looked around nervously without saying a word, then pulled Li Wei into a Jungle.

Li Wei was filled with questions, wanting to ask but unsure how to begin. Moreover, the Daoist seemed unwilling to say anything at the moment, so the two of them entered the Jungle one after the other.

After winding their way through several turns, they arrived at a hidden cave in the broken wall, where the Daoist stopped. As soon as Li Wei entered, he saw an array drawn on the cave floor, emitting a hazy light. The Daoist first cast a few spells. After entering the array, his expression relaxed slightly, and he turned to Li Wei and said...

"Young friend, you've finally arrived."

The Daoist sighed and sat down on a half-meter-high bluestone to rest.

After glancing at Li Wei again, the Daoist exclaimed in surprise, "Wang level? Impressive! You've reached this level in just a few days! Excellent, wonderful!"

Li Wei nodded.

"I received your message. What happened? And how did you know my location?" Li Wei had been thinking about this question the whole way, but he just couldn't figure it out.

Upon hearing this, the Daoist smiled and said, "It's just a few tricks. Those pigeons are demons I tamed in the Demon Refining Pot. They can mimic human speech and find people by scent. As long as the person is within 100,000 miles, they can find them!"

Li Wei was secretly amazed that such a demonic creature still existed at this time; the Demon Refining Pot truly seemed miraculous.

The Daoist chuckled, then, as if remembering something, his expression turned serious. "I was worried your combat strength wasn't enough, but now that you've advanced, it should be fine!"

After a pause, he slowly recounted the whole story.

Four days ago, after seeing the city-capturing mission, the Daoist quickly arrived at the nearest sand dune. With near-level-one combat power, he conquered the sand dune without any hindrance...

The reincarnators who followed also chose to retreat after seeing the battle assessment as "extremely dangerous."

The Sand City was thus captured, but problems soon arose. When the Daoist was refining the Demon Refining Pot in the city, an accident occurred.

His Demon Refining Pot had actually developed a crack.

This Demon Refining Pot is a high-level item that the Daoist obtained in the Xuanyuan Sword game. According to the Daoist, it can be called an ancient artifact.

The power of this Demon Refining Pot was far beyond everyone's comprehension. In short, the Daoist's skills alone were insufficient to repair the crack inside the Demon Refining Pot. Because of this gap, many low-level and untamed demons escaped from the pot. In addition, strong demonic energy was spewed out. Helpless, the Daoist had no choice but to retreat from Sand City.

He then used a formation to envelop the entire Sand City, which barely stabilized the situation, but the current situation is not optimistic.

At this moment, Sand City was like a prison, trapping thousands of demons, and the Demon Refining Pot was also left inside the city. In order to maintain the formation, the Daoist could only keep maintaining the spiritual power output of the formation and could not get away at all. That's why he sent a message to Li Wei, wanting Li Wei to help enter Sand City to repair the cracks on the Demon Refining Pot and quell the incident.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's face was filled with shock.

He already thought his experience was incredibly fantastical, but he never expected this Daoist Daoist to go even further, actually cracking the Demon Refining Pot.

"What will happen if we leave the monsters in the city unchecked?" Li Wei asked.

If I remember correctly, the great calamity the Daoist mentioned shouldn't refer to the demons currently trapped in the difficult Sand City, but rather to the consequences if the Demon Refining Pot cannot be repaired.

Sure enough, the Daoist sighed and said, "Young friend, you are indeed clever. You've hit the nail on the head. That's right. If we can't repair the Demon Refining Pot in time, once it completely cracks, we'll be in big trouble."

First, the unrefined and untamed demons that originally inhabited the pot will be released. And let me tell you, there are even level 1, 2, and 3 demons inside. When that time comes, the already riddled world might collapse. Furthermore Demon Refining Pot is a world of its own; after the pot is destroyed, this world might undergo drastic changes. All of this will sow the seeds of my own calamity, and my old life might not be spared. Most importantly, with level 1 and 2 demons, almost no living being in this world can escape this calamity. Wouldn't you call that a great calamity?

After he finished speaking, Li Wei was speechless.

"Is it really that serious?" Li Wei was already 80% convinced; this Daoist had never lied to him before.

"That's true, otherwise I wouldn't have summoned you here." After saying that, the Daoist saw the light reappear in the formation and hurriedly cast another spell, but his expression was much more listless.

Li Wei didn't consider it for long.

He had to do this. Not only for the Daoist, but also for himself, his family, and his friends, he had to do it. If the demonic creature of that level from the pot really appeared, Li Wei could imagine the terrible state the world would be in.

Perhaps only a few reincarnators can survive; the rest are destined to die.

Moreover, the Daoist had said that the crack in the Demon Refining Pot was not large, and the creatures that escaped were all low-level demons. He believed that if they were careful, there should be no problem. So Li Wei nodded in agreement, Daoist was overjoyed. He quickly passed on to Li Wei the method of repairing the leak that he had studied after escaping from Sand City.

Originally, the Daoist was worried that Li Wei would not be able to use this repair method, but when Li Wei revealed his true energy, the Daoist laughed heartily. How could he not know that true energy was unique to cultivators?

Even with his skill, he still couldn't tell that Li Wei had formed True Essence Pill within his body; otherwise, he would have been even more astonished.

After everything was prepared, Li Wei was led by the Daoist to the center of the formation.

It turned out that the Sand City was already shrouded in an array, and anyone who tried to enter or leave would be attacked by the array. That's why the Daoist initially stopped Li Wei from touching the city gate.

The only way to enter Sand City is through a teleportation array.

After standing in the center of the formation, the Daoist gave Li Wei a few final instructions, then retreated outside the formation. He muttered incantations and performed a double incantation, causing dozens of rays of light to converge into the formation. Instantly, something resembling a portal to Shadow Street appeared. Without hesitation, Li Wei stepped inside.

When they looked up again, they were already in the Sand City.

Looking around, Li Wei found that this Sand City was exactly the same as the one he had occupied, except that it was shrouded in layers of thick fog, and he could not see anything beyond ten meters. Li Wei was about to move when he suddenly stopped.

Because he saw something rushing towards him at high speed through the thick fog!
