Chapter 649: First Encounter with Sandworms (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)

"Assess the situation, don't show off your wealth, don't be greedy, don't be moved by external things. If you don't encounter a heavy blow in the future, you will at least have the opportunity to advance to the late Jindan stage"

"If there is a chance to see you again in the future, you can try to win you over on behalf of the sect and become a guest of the sect"

After Sun Mingsheng left, the lady of Jiuzhou Pavilion was not only not angry at all, but showed appreciation. If he knew about it, he would probably have a look of crying and laughing.

Of course, with Sun Mingsheng's personality and the Sun family behind him, this so-called winning over is destined to have no effect.

I'm afraid that the two will never have the opportunity to meet again in this life. At this time, Sun Mingsheng did not continue to stay in the Huanling Oasis after completing the transaction, but left as soon as possible and headed to the next destination under the guidance of the latest jade slip of the Western Region Desert Map.

Because of the howling of desert storms all year round, the terrain here is almost always changing, so it is also very important to update the map to avoid getting lost in the desert.

In the Western Desert, there are some foundation-building and Qi-refining monks who exchange spiritual stones for updated maps to maintain their own cultivation needs.

In addition to the howling of storms, sandworms are also an important factor in causing changes in desert terrain. These strange creatures feed on the desert with spiritual power and moisture in the depths of the desert. They live in groups and do not like to move by nature.

A group of sandworms can be as few as hundreds or as many as thousands. With the efforts of the entire group, a sand dune can be eaten into a bottomless sand pit in one day and one night.

For monks, the biggest threat when walking in the Western Desert is also sandworms. Once a monk's aura enters its sphere of influence, the attacks they suffer must be endless.

Facing this kind of attack that wins purely by numbers, unless there are countermeasures or they break out of the siege at the first time, it is almost impossible for most monks to solve it.

These sandworms usually feed on sand, but they are also extremely eager and eager for blood food.

Since entering the Western Desert, Sun Mingsheng has been running all the way, but he has never had a direct confrontation with the sandworm group.

For him, the sandworm group is not too difficult. After all, he has more than 30,000 black-striped ant colonies, and they are still expanding under the continuous cultivation of the queen ant.

It would be fine if the sandworms do not appear. If they do, the final result is still unknown, and the relationship between the hunter and the prey is also uncertain, and it may turn around at any time.

In addition, the sandworms feed on the sand at the bottom of the desert. Through their special digestive system, the spiritual power and water in them are all digested to meet their own needs.

But the small amount of spiritual materials contained in the sand is accumulated in their bodies little by little, especially some third-level sandworms, which have accumulated third-level spiritual materials in their bodies, which are also of high value. They can be called walking spiritual materials treasure houses.

Because there are black-striped ant colonies as a means of response, Sun Mingsheng not only has no fear of sandworms, but also has a look of eagerness to try.

After all, the combat power of sandworms is almost the lowest among the same level, and they just barely step into the threshold of the third level, so there is no need to worry.

However, sandworms are special monsters that usually hide in the bottom of the desert. As long as they do not show up, Jindan stage cultivators cannot find their traces.

Sun Mingsheng's next target is Dihuo City, which is also the largest oasis in the entire Western Region Desert and is controlled by the Ximen family, the largest family in the Western Region.

The Ximen family is a family that has been passed down for more than ten thousand years and has never broken off the inheritance of the Nascent Soul stage. It is said that there are at least seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators, three late Nascent Soul stage great cultivators, one middle Nascent Soul stage, and three early Nascent Soul stage cultivators. It is also the leading existence in the entire Western Region Desert.

According to the records of Sun Mingsheng from some Western Region jade slips, more than ten great cultivators of the God Transformation stage appeared in the Ximen family, and four of them successfully ascended to the spirit world.

The Earth Fire City is the only giant oasis in the area of ​​the Western Desert that has been explored so far. Its area is about a hundred times larger than the Phantom Spirit Oasis that we just left. It can be called a large piece of land in the desert.

The biggest contributor to the formation of such a large oasis is undoubtedly the lake that occupies more than half of the area of ​​the oasis.

It is said that the center of this lake can stably produce three to five drops of fourth-level middle and lower-grade spiritual water every year, which is also a great help for the Ximen family to stably produce Yuanying stage ancestors.

In addition, the most bizarre thing is that the remaining half of the area of ​​the Earth Fire City Oasis is occupied by rich underground fire veins. The two are adjacent but have never had any conflict.

The Ximen family is no different from the large and small families and sects in the entire Western Desert. They are also famous for refining weapons. The only difference is that they are stronger. There are seven Yuanying stage cultivators in the family, including six fourth-level weapon refiners, who have successfully refined at least one fake spiritual treasure.

In addition to the Ximen family, there are also a large number of weapon refiners in the Earth Fire City who rent the abundant earth fire resources here to refine various grades of magic tools, spiritual tools, magic weapons, etc.

It can be said that the entire Earth Fire City, except for the core part where the Ximen family’s base camp is located, the rest of the area is all a paradise for weapon refiners.

As a result, Dihuo City naturally attracted a large number of foreign cultivators, especially some large caravans from other regions, which devoured more than 70% of the different levels of magic tools, spiritual tools, magic treasures and even fake spiritual treasures produced in Dihuo City.

Such large caravans have at least one Yuanying-stage cultivator in charge, and usually trade directly with the Ximen family. The remaining small and medium-sized caravans trade with large and small shops specializing in refining tools in Dihuo City.

Everything about Dihuo City and the Ximen family kept emerging in Sun Mingsheng's mind, but he accidentally entered a territory belonging to sandworms.

In the depths of the desert, sandworms of different sizes kept twisting their fat bodies. There were more than 3,000 of them, entangled together, and they looked so dense that it made people's scalps numb.

In the center of all the sandworms were three sandworms that were as thick as ordinary people's thighs and had three different colored halos on their bodies. They were the leaders of this group of sandworms, three third-level low-grade sandworms.

Led by three third-level inferior sandworms, the entire group kept moving upwards. Their seemingly bloated bodies were like flexible fish in the desert.

"The breath of sandworms? It's really a piece of cake. I wonder who will win between the sandworms and the black-striped ants? Who will be better?"

Sun Mingsheng did not flee as soon as he sensed the breath of sandworms like other cultivators. Instead, he showed an interested look and stood still in place, waiting for the sandworm group to appear.

In just half a cup of tea, sandworms appeared in front of him one by one. These sandworms surrounded Sun Mingsheng from all sides to prevent him from escaping.
