Chapter 886: The Disaster of Desolation
“Here is the most detailed map of the Ancient Burial Desert. Also, are there any noteworthy changes in the desert in recent times?”
In the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Qing expressed his needs to the supervisor named Cai here.
He was disguised to a certain extent at this time, and did not reveal his true appearance, showing his cultivation at the peak of the earth realm.
The director of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce had no idea that the person sitting in front of him was the world-famous Xuandu Immortal, the Master of Yuqing Temple.
Zhou Qing is indeed not afraid that others will suddenly become malicious to him and come to intercept and kill him.
But if possible, he still doesn't want the news of his appearance in the Ancient Burial Desert to spread widely.
After all, he is not truly invincible in the Xuanhuang Realm, and there are many people who want to harm him.
If nothing else, if the leader of the Heavenly Mother learned about him and directly killed him to bury him in the ancient desert, Zhou Qing would be dead.
"Dear guests, please take a look, this is the most detailed map of the ancient burial desert in Huangsha City."
Director Cai handed over a piece of paper, and Zhou Qing took it, glanced at it, and compared the map with the one he got at All Saints Academy.
Before leaving the divine capital, Zhou Qing had made preparations to visit the ancient desert, so he would naturally know about this place in advance.
Map and other things are necessary, and they are also available inside All Saints Academy.
However, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce in Huangsha City has always been rooted here. Being on the front line, it has more say in many things. It is also necessary to buy a map from them for reference.
It doesn’t cost much anyway.
The map from the Ten Thousand Stars Chamber of Commerce is very detailed. It contains records of many dangerous places in the desert, oases, and even the lairs of well-known evil creatures.
Of course, it must be the kind of information that is relatively public, and exclusive secrets cannot be easily sold.
But for Zhou Qing, this was enough.
“These are some of the changes that have occurred in the Ancient Burial Desert in recent times that require attention. Some of these changes are related to desert disasters, and some are brought about by experts from all walks of life. The entire Huangsha City I can’t find more comprehensive information than here at the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.”
Director Cai handed over another jade slip, “Those changes in the situation can at least pose a threat to the Venerable.”
"Not bad."
Zhou Qing inspected the jade slip and nodded lightly.
Director Cai looked at Zhou Qing and then said: "Is this your first time coming to Huangsha City?"
"Yes."
"Does your guest still need anything? Information about some evil creatures, disasters, and special situations in the ancient desert? ”
"Take it and take a look."
After comparing the information obtained from the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce with the preparations he had done before, Zhou Qing had an idea.
This ancient desert is indeed strange. There will be changes every once in a while, and it is not constant.
Although his strength is not weak, he should not underestimate this fierce land.
It can be said that if you ask Zhou Qingming to kill Daluo Tianjing with sword and spear, there is no danger of entering the Ancient Burial Desert.
The power of heaven and earth is worthy of awe.
“If your distinguished guests want to enter the Ancient Burial Desert, you can choose to join the exploration team of our Ten Thousand Stars Chamber of Commerce.”
Director Cai invited: “The exploration team of our chamber of commerce is led by experts from the Heaven Realm. Team, safety is guaranteed, with your strength as a distinguished guest, we will definitely be able to There are great gains, and you can also accumulate experience.”
“It will also be beneficial if you want to explore the Ancient Burial Desert on your own in the future.”
“No need, do you want to enter the Ancient Burial Desert?” The big desert, I’m still considering it.”
Zhou Qing refused. Although the expedition team of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce had a guaranteed reputation, it was obviously not free and was a constraint on him.
What's more, with their strength, the normal heaven realm leads the team...
Is the heaven realm of the Ten Thousand Stars Chamber of Commerce protecting him, or is he protecting the exploration team of the chamber of commerce?
After paying the money neatly, I walked out of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce and went to the Black and White Building to buy a piece of information about them.
Gathering the intelligence from the three families, that’s almost it.
The soul transformed into a unicorn, felt the direction of guidance, and searched for it on the map.
After a long time, Zhou Qing was ready for everything.
"It's time to go in. In this last month, I hope everything will go smoothly."
When he left the capital of God this time, he was supposed to travel around the world and practice his path. Yes, you should go slowly and not in a hurry.
The reason why Zhou Qing came to the Ancient Burial Desert now is because it is already April, and there is only one month left in the lock-in period for [Bloodline of Heaven].
With [God's Bloodline], Zhou Qing will be blessed by heaven and earth and have great luck.
This is undoubtedly beneficial for him to enter the Ancient Burial Desert. It can help him avoid many dangers, and it can even play a role in finding the land of the Qilin tribe.
Therefore, Zhou Qing chose to rush to the Ancient Burial Desert in the last month. Is this enough time?
With his strength, one month is more than enough time to explore in the desert.
It won’t be too late to do other things after he comes out of the desert.
Zhou Qing walked out of Huangsha City, and there were many people who had the same actions as him.
A large number of practitioners poured out from Huangsha City and soon disappeared in all directions after entering the Burial Ancient Desert, hidden in the wind and sand.
Opportunity or death, no one knows which will come first.
No one knows how many bones are buried under the yellow sand.
Zhou Qing looked back at Huangsha City. The city walls and gaps were filled with yellow sand.
This is an ancient city with mottled and vicissitudes left by the years.
The city has witnessed the passage of time and the life and death of generations of creatures.
Standing outside the city gate and looking south, there is nothing left except the boundless desert and the gradually shrinking figure of the explorer.
Zhou Qing stepped out and disappeared in the next second.
Of course he would not walk across the desert.
The Burial Ancient Desert is very large, even larger than the territory of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Zhou Qing was flying in the sky, observing all directions to prevent possible dangers.
Given Zhou Qing's strength, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to go to those forbidden places in the sand sea, he doesn't have to worry about his safety most of the time.
But there are exceptions.
Anywhere in this desert except for those few Jedi restricted areas, natural disasters may occur.
Ordinary natural disasters are okay, but super natural disasters that contain special power can engulf even the heavens.
In the Burial Ancient Desert, there is a kind of desolate power flowing. Every natural disaster is a gathering of that desolate power. It is not an ordinary desert disaster like Zhou Qing's previous life.
Therefore, the natural disasters here are also called sand disasters and famines.
If it was a sandstorm in the previous life, Zhou Qing's cultivation could easily calm it down.
Let alone quelling a desert disaster, there is no problem in turning the entire desert into fertile soil in a short period of time.
But this world is different, many things contain special power.
If a large enough amount of desolation power changes, it will be very difficult, and it can be called a disaster that will destroy the world.
For example, when Zhou Qing entered the city, he heard others say on the street that the dragon sandstorm was a type of famine.
The occurrence of this kind of desert natural disaster is irregular and not fixed in a certain place. It will occur in places other than the Jedi.
Zhou Qing is not afraid of the evil creatures here, nor is he afraid of Jedi. Jedi are marked on the map, and he can bypass them when he encounters them.
But if you encounter a super sand disaster, it will be troublesome.
Although he is currently favored by heaven and earth, it is not 100% impossible for an accident to happen, and the due caution cannot be lost.
Sand disasters have never occurred in those Jedi and forbidden areas. Even if a sand disaster breaks out near them, it will not affect the Jedi. No one knows why, but it has been like this forever.
Therefore, sometimes if you are unlucky enough to encounter a sand disaster, you may have a chance of survival by hiding in a deserted or forbidden area.
“Bah!”
Suddenly, a scream sounded, and a giant bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters wide appeared in the distance, and then rushed towards Zhou Qing quickly.
The air waves were so strong that the giant bird flapped its wings and caused the yellow sand on the ground to fly up. It was extremely turbulent.
Looking at the charging giant bird, Zhou Qing did not dodge and flew directly over.
Then...
The head of the bird was chopped off.
Even if he couldn't see through my cultivation level, a true-blood level sand beast still dared to charge me?
I’m really dizzy.
The next moment, Zhou Qing disappeared here, and the bird corpse was also taken away by him.
Sand beasts are actually similar to savage beasts, but they are extremely adapted to the environment here in the Ancient Burial Desert. They are eroded by the power of desolation and are different from normal savage beasts in the outside world. This is one of the native creatures living in the Great Burial Desert. In addition to sand beasts, there are also sand demons.
Sand demons are not monsters formed by the spiritual transformation of yellow sand, but a collective name for all the demon clans in the Burial Ancient Desert.
Like the sand beast, the sand demon has also been eroded by the power of desolation and has undergone certain changes.
It is difficult for normal beasts to survive in this place, but there are actually many native creatures here.
They have reproduced here from generation to generation, have adapted, and have even been assimilated by the power here.
For explorers entering the desert, sand beasts and sand demons are the main dangers.
Although the sand disaster is terrifying, the number is definitely not as large as these native creatures.
They are lurking all over the desert and may appear at any time to launch a fatal blow to you. They occupy geographical advantages and are difficult to guard against.
Weak people are very cautious after entering the Ancient Burial Desert, and do not dare to show off, so as not to attract the attention of sand beasts and sand demons.
Before Zhou Qing flew openly and at high speed, he expected that he would be discovered by the native creatures here.
Such an attack was within his expectation.
But it's not a big problem.
Now he is no longer the little monk who had to be cautious when entering the Black Mountain, trying to avoid all the wild beasts.
To put it bluntly, it is basically impossible for the sand beasts and sand demons in the Ancient Burial Desert to keep him.
When he was weak, he had to be cautious, but now that he is strong, he still needs to be cautious. Then isn’t his training in vain?
Among the native creatures in the desert, in addition to sand beasts and sand demons, there is also the most special and powerful kind.
That's the evil thing.
If the sand beast, the sand demon, is eroded by the power of desolation, then the evil thing is the power of desolation itself.
They are cruel and hostile to all living things, even creatures such as sand beasts, and they will kill them without fail.
Some of the evil creatures are transformed from sand beasts and sand demons, some are mutated corpses after being infiltrated by the power of desolation, and some are from those Jedi and forbidden areas.
Especially the last kind of evil creature is the most ferocious and powerful.
The strongest evil thing here is second only to the immortal, and with the blessing of the land, it is difficult for the immortal to kill such a evil thing.
The boundless power of desolation can be mobilized by evil creatures, and the power they can erupt is terrifying.
The most important thing is that evil creatures have the ability to actively cause super famines. Even when they die, the power of desolation in their bodies will burst out, and a super famine will take shape in an instant and sweep across all directions.
This is the most difficult native creature in the Ancient Burial Desert. Even the Immortals are not willing to mess with it. It is too troublesome, has no benefits, and will also cause a lot of trouble.
There are several well-known lairs of super evil creatures in the Burial Ancient Desert. Even those in the Heaven Realm would choose to avoid those places.
Zhou Qing's unscrupulous flying now is not because he is really arrogant and has lost his caution.
But there are no super ferocious monsters' lairs, super sand beasts or sand monster clans, or forbidden areas or Jedi on his route.
Because of this, he will fly high-profile and move forward at full speed. He is sure of it.
As for those super vicious creatures, sand beasts, and sand monsters that are not recorded on the map, if the direction Zhou Qing is heading in really exists, then he cannot avoid them even if he moves in a low profile.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a patch of green appeared in front of Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing recalled the contents on the map and knew where this place was.
"Oasis of Yuanxing."
The Burial Ancient Desert is very desolate, and the power of desolation flows, but in the dead silence, it is not without life.
The oases are the last hope of life in this desolate land.
Many oases have been named by outside practitioners and marked on the map.
Some of these oases are occupied by native creatures, while others have become gathering places for outside practitioners after entering the desert.
The Burial Ancient Desert is vast, and many people will stay there for a long time after coming in. It is inconvenient to get in and out, but they also need supplies or have other things to do. If you go to Huangsha City, it is too far.
Zhou Qing can easily move around here, but other mid- to low-level cultivators face many risks, and they may encounter crises every time they go back and forth.
These oases full of vitality have naturally become places for adventurers to rest and rest, and have developed into settlements. Everyone signs up to stay warm and run the oases.
Some adventurers even live in these oases for a long time and never leave for several years or more.
Life is very tenacious, and the benefits are extremely tempting.
Zhou Qing glanced at the Yuanxing Oasis and did not go in. However, the appearance of this oasis also allowed him to accurately locate his current location.
Feeling the guidance of the Kirin Icon, Zhou Qing's finger started from the Yuanxing Oasis on the map and crossed southward. The many places he would pass next were extremely clear.
Looking at several of the areas, Zhou Qing frowned.
"As I walk in this direction, I will pass by the Nine Leaders, Ten Thousand Bones Lake, Mystic Sand Cave, Gate of Hell, Corpse Heart Forest, and Blood Mountain."
"Isn't the land of the Qilin tribe related to these places..."
The Nine Chiefs, the Blood Mountain, and the Corpse Heart Forest, these three places are the kind of super vicious creatures that are second only to the immortals. The lair is occupied by three super vicious creatures: the Nine-Headed Demon, the Blood Mountain Giant, and the Lord of the Corpse Heart Forest.
Behind these three super fierce monsters, there are also other weaker monsters attached to them.
Ten Thousand Bones Lake is a dangerous place. Although it is not a desperate place, it is not a place that can be underestimated.
There is a lake in the sand, but what flows there is not lake water, but bone fluid. There are endless bones floating on the bone fluid. There are bones of all races, both inside and outside the ancient burial desert. .
The Lake of Ten Thousand Bones is extremely evil, and you will encounter all kinds of strange things when you get close to it. However, compared with the Gate of Hell, the Lake of Ten Thousand Bones can be said to be not bad at all.
With Zhou Qing's strength, it is possible to briefly explore Wangu Lake, but the Gate of Hell...
That is the most terrifying and dangerous place in the Ancient Burial Desert. One of the Jedi!
Not to mention the Zhou Qing Dynasty, there are records in the All Saints Academy that in history, immortals went to the Gate of Hell to explore, but in the end they all fled in panic, and never set foot in the Ancient Burial Desert again.
It’s okay to look at that place from the outermost edge. If you want to go deeper, Zhou Qing is definitely not willing to do so.
The Mystic Sand Cave is somewhat special. The dangers there are different from other places in the Ancient Burial Desert. They are not the same style.
It's not necessarily fatal there, and it may be safe once you go in.
Mystic Sand Cave can be said to be a very large... maze.
The terrain there is extremely complex, with a large number of standing sand mountains and basins and flat deserts.
Underground and in the mountains, there are countless cave roads, hidden passages extending in all directions, which are complicated and chaotic without any rules.
All passages in the Mystic Sand Cave are shrouded in natural phantom formations, which are equivalent to components of the natural phantom formation. Anyone who enters is equivalent to entering a super phantom formation.
A passage is a small magic array, and the perfect combination of countless small magic arrays is the Mystic Sand Cave.
At the same time, there is also a power that can forbid spiritual thoughts. After the practitioner goes in, he cannot be like the outside at all. Once his spiritual thoughts are swept away, the surrounding scenery is reflected in his mind, and he can only observe the environment with his eyesight. .
In addition, the confusion and distortion inside the entire Mystic Sand Cave are very serious and will greatly affect your ability to identify directions. This is the impact of the phantom array.
Illusion formations and illusions make people confused. What you think you are going forward may actually be going left or right.
The natural illusory formation and the power of the Forbidden God have made it impossible for many people to get out after entering the Mysterious Sand Cave. This is why it is called a maze.
For those who are weak, it is almost impossible to get out.
If you are strong, you will naturally have a chance. After all, it is just an illusion formation, not a killing formation.
If you have some unique skills, patience and some luck, you can still escape smoothly.
A kind of magic bead will be bred in the sand cave. This thing can guide the direction and resist the magic array. If you are lucky, you may get it.
As for trying to escape by attacking and destroying the Mystic Sand Cave?
This won't work.
The Mishen Sand Cave occupies an extremely large area. This is not an exaggeration, but a description of the facts.
If compared to the territory of Daqi, the Mishen Sand Cave is as big as three or five states. It is not those small states, but a big state!
And one can imagine how terrifying a natural illusory array covering such a wide area is. It can be called the first illusory array in the world!
Such a large natural illusory formation, you want to destroy it, it is a wishful thinking.
However, there are not many native creatures such as sand beasts and evil creatures in the Mystic Sand Cave. Even the evil creatures are not willing to enter that place, so the danger in this regard is not great.
In addition to the danger of getting lost, the main danger is phantoms and... other practitioners.
Some people are desperate outside, and even the realm of disorder cannot tolerate them, so they will hide in the Mysterious Sand Cave.
There are also people who have a great chance and get the magic beads, and will take the initiative to explore.
These people inside are often hunters.
How can the benefits of exploring the desert come faster than killing people and grabbing treasures?
