After traveling for two days and two nights, Lin Heng and his companions finally arrived at the Human Race Saha City, near the Chaotic Sand Sea.
Since Situ Jiannan had only heard of the Chaotic Sand Sea and didn't know much about it, the three decided to stay in the city for a day while Situ Jiannan went to find out more about the Chaotic Sand Sea before setting off.
This is where the advantages of having Situ Jiannan with you become apparent.
Upon entering the city, Situ Jiannan had already booked a place to rest in advance.
After taking Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er to a restaurant to rest and arranging their meals and lodgings, Situ Jiannan went out to gather information.
Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er were quite satisfied that they didn't have to worry about these trivial matters and that everything was arranged properly.
Sitting by the window, enjoying the delicious food on the table, Liu Ling'er looked out the window at Situ Jiannan leaving, then looked at Lin Heng and smiled, "Taking him in was not a bad idea."
Lin Heng nodded. "After finding Linglong and the others, I will start improving his cultivation. If he can continue like this, within ten years I may not only help him reach the Nirvana Realm, but also reach an even higher level."
With such a bug in the Sign-In System, given just a little time, Lin Heng would have more resources than he could possibly use.
Even if you just give the remaining resources to Situ Jiannan, it would be enough for him to achieve great things.
After chatting with Liu Ling'er for a few minutes, Lin Heng, as usual, signed in at the new location.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully checking in at the Saha City One Corridor Restaurant. You have received the system reward: the Great Brahma Prajna Scepter."
The Great Brahma Prajna Scepter a Buddhist Sect treasure, Initial-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, and has a powerful effect on suppressing demons and ferocious energy.
Lin Heng was secretly delighted. On the way, he had heard Situ Jiannan say that the only person who escaped from the hundred-member pursuit team sent by the Eight Great Imperial Clans into the Chaotic Sand Sea was a Buddhist Sect cultivator.
It seems that Buddhist cultivators have a considerable advantage over the rampaging Demon Race in the Chaotic Sand Sea. Now that Lin Heng has obtained this Initial-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure from the Buddhist Sect, he feels more confident about entering the Chaotic Sand Sea next.
Situ Jiannan returned three or four hours after leaving the restaurant.
The intelligence he brought back was also very valuable.
Let's first discuss the strength of the Demon Race within the Chaotic Sand Sea.
The people of Saha City refer to the Demon Race Chaotic Sand Sea as ferocious beasts.
At the edge, there are mostly ferocious beasts at the Great Saint Realm. After entering the Chaotic Sand Sea for 30,000 miles, there is a boundary dividing the area, and beyond that, there are mostly ferocious beasts at the Supreme Saint Realm.
Once you venture 100,000 miles into the Chaotic Sand Sea, you'll encounter ferocious beasts at the Nirvana Realm. However, these beasts typically guard their own territories and rarely venture out.
Situ Jiannan also obtained a map of the Chaotic Sand Sea. Although it wasn't very accurate, it still had considerable reference value.
In the area spanning 100,000 to 300,000 li of the Chaotic Sand Sea, this is the most dangerous place. It is said that the hundred-man brigade was attacked in this area.
As for how many Nirvana Realm beasts are in this area, it is currently unknown, but the sole survivor of the hundred-member team revealed that they were attacked by ten Nirvana Realm beasts.
Millions of years have passed, and it's hard to say whether the ferocious beasts inside have become stronger. If one of them has truly stepped from the Nirvana Realm into the Samsara Realm, even Lin Heng would probably find it difficult to escape from its grasp.
As is well known, due to the violent Source Power within the Chaotic Sand Sea, the entire space is in a state of chaos, making Teleportation impossible. Relying on flight naturally increases the danger considerably.
Hearing this, Liu Ling'er became somewhat worried. " Heng'er, if it really doesn't work, shall we take a detour?"
After all, there were Nirvana Realm beasts in the Chaotic Sand Sea millions of years ago, so it's not impossible for them to break through to the Samsara Realm now.
Lin Heng shook his head. "Taking a detour now will take even longer."
Seeing Lin Heng's insistence, Situ Jiannan went along with him and said, "Ferocious beasts have very low intelligence, and their cultivation speed is far slower than that of normal Demon Race. A million years might be a good time for other Demon Race to break through to the Samsara Realm, but for ferocious beasts, the possibility is probably extremely low."
After hearing Situ Jiannan's words, Liu Ling'er stopped trying to persuade him, and Situ Jiannan continued to talk about the other information he had gathered.
To traverse the Chaotic Sand Sea is a journey of approximately 700,000 li. Even without encountering ferocious beasts, it would take Lin Heng more than ten days to fly there safely, given his current strength.
Of course, it's practically impossible to avoid encountering ferocious beasts, as every area is occupied by them.
The ferocious beasts are highly territorial, and will attack any intruders, whether human or other beast.
Another important point is that the ferocious beasts in the Chaotic Sand Sea are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.
Once a battle breaks out and blood is drawn, the smell of blood will quickly attract nearby ferocious beasts.
Situ Jiannan's advice was to avoid direct combat as much as possible, and even if encountering a weak ferocious beast, it was best to use flight speed to shake it off.
Once it flies away from the other's territory, the ferocious beast will no longer pursue it. However, if it is stimulated by blood, the ferocious beast will go berserk and rush over recklessly. In its rage, the ferocious beast will kill any living thing it sees.
"It seems that ferocious beasts really are a race with low intelligence."
Lin Heng said with a sneer.
But sometimes, it is precisely these enemies, those that cannot be measured by normal intelligence, that are the most troublesome.
However, in the end, Situ Jiannan inadvertently revealed some good news that excited Lin Heng.
"Master, please remember to avoid battles once you enter the Chaotic Sand Sea. I've heard that many people have entered the Chaotic Sand Sea in the past, but they were all surrounded and killed by hordes of ferocious beasts. Among them were even a couple who had just broken through to the Samsara Realm."
Situ Jiannan said this to remind Lin Heng that even Samsara Realm couldn't withstand an endless horde of ferocious beasts, so he shouldn't be overconfident.
But for Lin Heng, this was not bad news at all; it was the best news imaginable.
Lin Heng had been signing in all the way from Heavenly Abundance City, and today he obtained a Initial-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure in Saha City.
I thought there was nowhere left to fleece, but I never expected that there would be Samsara Realm who had entered the Chaotic Sand Sea.
Isn't this just blatantly giving away freebies?
After learning about the basic situation of the Chaotic Sand Sea, Lin Heng went to rest.
The two days and two nights of travel had taken a toll on Lin Heng, and with the Chaotic Sand Sea approaching, he naturally needed to be in top condition.
Of course, another point is that Lin Heng wants to try checking in again after midnight, around dawn the next day, to see if he can get any more Buddhist Sect treasures, so that he can be safer when he enters the Chaotic Sand Sea.
Unfortunately, when Lin Heng checked in at dawn the next day, he only received a decent Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
Knowing there was no more profit to be made, Lin Heng, along with Liu Ling'er and Situ Jiannan, left Saha City and headed towards the Chaotic Sand Sea.
P. S.: Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a blissful family reunion!
