Along the way, they encountered various dangers.
The sandstorm almost buried them, and the strong wind carried the yellow sand as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.
Jiang Qiong and others used their spiritual power to form a shield and were able to barely hold on.
Giant sandworms would occasionally emerge from the ground to attack them. The sandworms were huge in size, with hard skin and sharp mouthparts.
Nan Fengxue used ice magic to freeze the sandworms, thus saving everyone from danger.
There were also some mysterious phantoms that confused their minds. With her tenacious willpower, Lang Nana used her fire power to dispel the phantoms.
After several days and nights of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins.
The entrance to the ruins is shrouded in a layer of mysterious power, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
The entrance is engraved with strange symbols, which seem to tell stories from the past.
Jiang Qiong and others approached the entrance cautiously, trying to find a way in.
They studied the symbols carefully and tried to touch them with their spiritual power, but this triggered some small defense mechanisms. Energy beams were shot at them and they quickly dodged.
Just as they were studying the entrance, a group of people in black robes suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
The black-robed leader sneered and said, "I didn't expect someone to get here before us. If you know what's best for you, hand over the secrets of the ruins, or don't blame us for being rude!"
His voice was cold and threatening.
Jiang Qiong and others immediately took up a fighting stance, and Jiang Qiong said coldly:
"You are not qualified to know the secret of the ruins!"
He gripped the sword tightly, and the blade trembled slightly, as if he was looking forward to the battle.
As soon as the two sides disagreed, a fierce fight broke out.
The men in black robes were quite powerful. They cast all kinds of strange spells to attack Jiang Qiong and others.
Some of the black-robed people can shoot black threads from their hands. These threads are tough and poisonous.
Some can summon dark shadows to launch sneak attacks on Jiang Qiong and others.
Jiang Qiong and others were not willing to be outdone. Jiang Qiong brandished his sword and displayed the newly learned method of circulating spiritual power. His sword moves were sharp, and each sword carried powerful spiritual power. The blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
Nan Fengxue cast an ice spell, lowering the temperature around him to an extremely low level. A thick layer of ice quickly formed on the ground, slowing down the black-robed man's movements.
Lang Nana summoned a raging flame, and under her control, the flame turned into fire snakes that pounced towards the man in black robes. Wherever the fire snakes went, the air was ignited.
The battle entered a white-hot stage, with casualties on both sides.
Although Jiang Qiong and others are powerful, the black-robed people are numerous and they seem to be very familiar with the ruins. They use the surrounding environment to continuously attack Jiang Qiong and others.
They drew the spiritual energy in the sand, causing the ground to collapse from time to time, trying to trap Jiang Qiong and others.
Just when Jiang Qiong and others were in trouble, the guide Agu suddenly shouted: "Quick, while they are distracted, enter the ruins!"
His voice was particularly clear amid the roar of battle.
Jiang Qiong and the others suddenly realized what was going on. They concentrated their strength, broke through the encirclement of the black-robed men, and rushed towards the entrance of the ruins.
Amid the exclamations of the men in black robes, they successfully entered the ruins.
After entering the ruins, they found a huge palace inside, the walls of which were engraved with mysterious runes and patterns.
The runes glowed faintly, seeming to contain powerful power.
The patterns depict the battle scenes, cultivation methods and insights of ancient powerful men into the heaven and earth.
In the center of the palace, there is a huge stone platform, on which is placed an ancient book that is emitting light.
Ancient words were engraved on the cover of the ancient book, as if calling them.
Jiang Qiong and others approached the stone platform cautiously. The moment they touched the ancient book, it suddenly emitted a strong light that enveloped them.
In the light, Jiang Qiong and others saw many mysteries about cultivating immortals and the origin of this relic.
It turns out that this relic was the place where a powerful ancient man practiced, and it contains his lifelong practice experience and powerful magic weapons.
This powerful man once dominated the world of immortal cultivation with the magic weapons and cultivation methods here. Later, in order to break through to a higher realm, he entered a mysterious space and left behind this relic.
However, just as they were immersed in the mysteries of the ancient books, the man in black robes followed in.
The man in black robe became jealous when he saw Jiang Qiong and others got the ancient books, and attacked them again.
They used various means to try to steal the ancient books.
Jiang Qiong and others quickly put away the ancient books and started another round of battle with the man in black robes.
During the battle, Jiang Qiong and others gradually mastered some powerful spells from ancient books. They used these spells to fight a desperate battle with the men in black robes.
Jiang Qiong cast a spell called "Star-shattering Sword". As he swung the sword, it seemed as if he could draw the power of the stars. Strands of sword energy were as dazzling as stars and rushed towards the man in black robe.
Nan Fengxue comprehended the "Absolute Zero Ice Prison" and turned the surroundings into a world of ice. Once the man in black robes stepped in, he would be frozen instantly.
Lang Nana mastered the "Roar of the Fire Dragon" and summoned a huge fire dragon. The fire dragon roared and spewed out blazing flames, covering the man in black robes.
After a fierce battle, Jiang Qiong and others finally repelled all the men in black robes.
They left the ruins with ancient books and magic weapons obtained from the ruins.
Among the magic weapons, there is a magic weapon called "Qingfeng Whisk", which can generate strong wind and dispel fog when waved;
There is also a "heart-protecting jade pendant" that can withstand a fatal attack at a critical moment.
Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana took the ancient books and magic weapons they had obtained from the ruins and bid farewell to that dangerous yet mysterious place. Their heroic deeds spread rapidly across the vast desert, as if they had wings.
Soon, the news reached the ears of a large desert tribe nearby.
This tribe has a large population of tens of thousands, and is like a resilient oasis in this vast desert.
After hearing their story, the tribal leader was deeply impressed by their strength and courage. He immediately sent an envoy with a sincere invitation, respectfully inviting them to visit the tribe.
The three of them gladly accepted the invitation and followed the messenger on their journey to the desert tribe. Along the way, the desert was desolate and magnificent, and the sparse drought-resistant plants stubbornly persisted in the wind and sand, and every leaf seemed to be telling the difficulty of survival.
Occasionally, a few desert foxes flash across the sand dunes like nimble shadows, adding a bit of vitality to this silent desert.
When the desert tribe came into view, the three couldn't help but be attracted by the unique sight before them.
The tribe has a unique architectural style. Most of the houses are built with a mixture of hard rocks and clay unique to the desert. The walls are thick and solid, like guardians in the desert, and can perfectly withstand the huge temperature difference between day and night.
These houses are mostly round or oval in shape, scattered in an orderly manner on a relatively flat sandy land. From a distance, they look like huge sand castles, exuding a quaint and mysterious atmosphere under the sunlight.
Entering the tribe, the streets are bustling with people. The men are burly, their skin is dark and shiny due to long-term baptism of wind and sand, and they wear clothes made of animal skin, showing the tenacity and heroism of the children of the desert. The sharp daggers on their waists are their powerful partners for survival and fighting in the desert.
The women wore colorful robes and headscarves, revealing only a pair of bright and lively eyes that showed tenderness and intelligence.
Children were laughing and playing on the streets, and their innocent laughter echoed throughout the tribe like silver bells, injecting endless vitality into this land.
In the center of the tribe is a huge square, on which are placed stone tables and chairs. These tables and chairs have been polished over the years and their surfaces are smooth and warm.
There are several tall totem poles standing around, with various mysterious patterns carved on them. These patterns seem to be telling the tribe’s ancient legends, beliefs and glorious history, making people curious and in awe of the tribe’s past.
As soon as Jiang Qiong and others entered the tribe, they were given a very grand reception.
The tribal chief personally led a group of respected elders to greet them. Their faces were filled with warm smiles, as if the sunshine had dispelled the haze of the desert.
The leader was tall and straight, with a thick beard that showed his majesty and experience.
He strode forward, tightly grasped Jiang Qiong's hand, and said in a loud voice: "Welcome, heroes from afar! Your arrival has brought glory to our tribe and is like a treasure to us."
Then the leader led them to the tribe's meeting hall.
The meeting hall is a spacious and solemn building. Once you step into it, you can feel a strong historical atmosphere.
There is a huge sand table in the hall, on which are detailed markings of various areas in the desert and the locations of precious water sources.
These marks are not just simple patterns, but also important guidelines for the survival and development of the tribe, embodying the hard work of countless explorations by the tribe's ancestors.
In the meeting hall, the tribesmen had already prepared sumptuous food for them.
The table was filled with various fragrant grilled meats. These meats were made from animals unique to the desert, marinated with unique spices and grilled using a unique process. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a tangy aroma. Every bite seemed to dance on the tip of your tongue.
There are also pastries carefully made from desert plants, which have a light, refreshing plant fragrance and a delicate taste that leaves you with an endless aftertaste.
The sweet date juice was the icing on the cake for this gourmet feast. The sweet and delicious juice slid down their throats, making them feel the long-lost warmth and comfort after the arduous adventure.
After eating and drinking, the leader personally arranged for them to rest in a comfortable house.
The interior of the house is simple yet cozy. The soft bed is as comfortable as a cloud, and the floor is covered with thick wool carpets. Stepping on them feels like sinking into a warm ocean.
The three of them lay on the soft bed and soon fell into a sweet dream in this quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
However, in the middle of the night, Jiang Qiong was suddenly awakened from her sleep by a faint sound of conversation.
He stood up carefully and looked out through the crack in the window, only to see several tribesmen standing outside and talking in low voices.
"The tribe's meat reserves have been running low recently, and the hunting team only gets a small harvest every time they go out. If this continues, the tribe's livelihood will be in jeopardy."
A person said with a worried look on his face, his tone full of helplessness and worry.
"Yes, those monsters are becoming more and more cunning, and the environment in the desert is becoming more and more harsh. The difficulty of hunting is beyond imagination."
Another person echoed, his face also full of worry.
When Jiang Qiong heard these words, he secretly made up his mind to help the tribe solve this imminent problem.
He gently woke up Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana and told them exactly what he had heard.
After hearing this, the two expressed their willingness to lend a helping hand without hesitation and work together to solve the tribe’s problems.
The next morning, as the faint light of dawn had just spread over the desert, the three of them took the initiative to come to the tribe's hunting team's gathering point.
The members of the hunting team were organizing their weapons and equipment in an orderly manner. When they saw Jiang Qiong and others arriving, they all showed surprise in their eyes.
Jiang Qiong stepped forward and said to the leader of the hunting team, "We have heard about the tribe's meat shortage. We are willing to go with you to hunt monsters and replenish the tribe's food reserves."
The leader of the hunting team is a sturdy middle-aged man. Years of hunting in the desert have left marks of perseverance on his face.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but then he showed worry and said:
"We sincerely appreciate your kindness, but the monsters in the desert are extremely ferocious. This time our target is a powerful monster called the Sandstorm Bull. It is extremely powerful and can trigger a small sandstorm once it gets angry. The risk factor is extremely high."
Jiang Qiong smiled confidently, his eyes revealing determination and calmness, and said: "We have experienced many dangerous situations and have enough ability to deal with them. Let's set off together. With more strength, the chance of success will naturally be greater."
The hunting team leader was moved and relieved to see their firm attitude and readily agreed to their request.
So, the hunting team, with Jiang Qiong and others, headed towards the depths of the desert.
Along the way, yellow sand was flying all over the sky and strong winds were howling and sweeping past, as if to swallow everything.
Relying on their rich experience in desert survival, the team members moved forward in the desert with difficulty but determination.
Based on their previous tracking experience, they moved steadily towards the area where sandstorm bulls often appeared.
After several hours of arduous trekking, they finally found the trace of the sandstorm bull.
On the sand dunes in the distance, a huge sandstorm bull was leisurely grazing on the sparse vegetation in the desert.
Its body is like a small mountain, covered with a thick layer of brown fur, which sparkles with a metallic luster under the sunlight.
The long and pointed horns were like two sharp blades, flashing coldly in the sun, which was frightening.
It was surrounded by a faint wind and sand, as if a thrilling sandstorm could occur at any time. (End of this chapter)
The sandstorm almost buried them, and the strong wind carried the yellow sand as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.
Jiang Qiong and others used their spiritual power to form a shield and were able to barely hold on.
Giant sandworms would occasionally emerge from the ground to attack them. The sandworms were huge in size, with hard skin and sharp mouthparts.
