Chapter 159

When they all entered the fifth layer of the continent, they finally heaved a sigh of relief. When they entered the torn space channel just now, they felt the danger inside. It was a kind of instability. Once it collapsed, they might not be able to get out. They didn't expect that the deeper they went, the more terrifying the space barrier became. Even Li Ran and Qi Wuzhen couldn't control it.

The place they came out this time was still high up in the sky. Below them was a stretch of yellow. It was an endless desert. The sand dunes were like solidified waves, appearing on the ground in waves. Guo Shier mumbled, "Desert … It's actually a desert …"

No one would have thought that the upper layer of the continent was full of water, while the lower layer was a desolate desert. Looking carefully, there were spots of green in the desert. With their experience, they immediately knew that they were oases. A Handsome Old Man poked his head out and looked down. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "This … is a good place to breed earth spirits. Let's look around. Maybe there will be a surprise."

They couldn't see clearly in the west. There seemed to be a large area of smoke and dust. It might be a sandstorm, or something else. Guo Shier said, "Let's land on the oasis first. I don't know if we can find the natives to understand the situation."

Goja said, "There might not be any natives here."

Li Ran said, "It's good to go down and take a look. Let's go!" He fell down first, and it was a free fall. He didn't control any talisman to fly. He just fell down rapidly, and from time to time, he let out a strange cry. It was a very excited sound.

Guo Shier put away the sacrificial altar and fell uncontrollably. In an instant, a feeling of weightlessness surged in his heart. It was very exciting. He shouted, "Wow, this is fun!"

After dozens of seconds, Guo Shier had to activate the Flight Talisman because he didn't feel that he was falling. Instead, he felt that the ground was rushing toward him. The sense of danger shook his soul. According to his current understanding, even if he was free falling, even if he didn't activate his defense, he wouldn't fall to his death. However, he would definitely be injured. This was not the result he wanted.

After activating the Flight Talisman, his falling speed suddenly decreased, and he lightly landed on the edge of the oasis. Everyone fell one after another. Only Li Ran was the craziest. He directly hit the ground without any defense. with a boom, a human-shaped hole was left on the ground. After a while, he flew out from inside and said with a smile, "This is fun."

"Childish!" Qi Wuzhen said lightly.

Li Ran was speechless. He was despised by this woman again. He flew close to the ground to the oasis.

This oasis was extremely small, only about 500 meters in radius. There was a small pond in the middle, and it was surrounded by sparse short trees and weeds. It was a very large tree with a crooked neck. The crown of the tree completely covered the small pond. If it weren't for this tree, the pond would have dried up very quickly.

Guo Shier landed on the tree and said, "The level above is water, and this level is desert. If we don't search these two levels, we probably won't find anything. Should we search here or go down to the next level?"

Everyone was hesitant. They had reached the fifth level. It didn't seem right to leave without any benefits.

Li Ran said, "Then we'll stay here for a while. When we're almost done … we'll go to the next level. What do you guys think?"

Guo Shier marked the coordinates of the oasis and said, "I'll go to the area with the dust storm. Hehe, I won't go with you guys." Then he released the sacrificial altar and flew away. When he was in the sky, he saw something similar to a sandstorm. If his level wasn't high, he definitely wouldn't go. But it was different now. With the strength of a nine-level sacrificial altar, he dared to go anywhere.

Li Ran smiled and said, "Then we'll go our own ways …" Then he disappeared.

Everyone dispersed to search for their own fortuitous encounters. Everyone knew there would be good things on this level. But they needed a lot of time to explore. In the water world above, because Qi Wuzhen hated that environment, and because of the storm, no one wanted to stay. This was a desert. It was desolate, but they could explore it.

Guo Shi 'er sat on the altar with half of the handsome old man's body sticking out. The altar was flying at an incredible speed. Soon, they could see the cloud of dust. A Handsome Old Man asked, "You plan to go inside?"

Guo Shier said, "Yes, I feel there's something. Let's go in and see. I hope to find earth fiend. The desert … is usually the best place to breed earth fiend."

A Handsome Old Man smiled and said, "I know you're thinking of earth fiend … pity, I'd rather search the higher level. It's more likely to have water fiend there."

Guo Shier didn't care and said, "There will be a chance to go there. When we reach the ninth level, we can set up the coordinates and use the Great Realm Crossing Talisman … It's enough to go back and forth. We can search carefully then. We should be able to find it," he said confidently. He knew he couldn't stay in this world for long. He had to find what he needed the most at the last moment.

A Handsome Old Man nodded. He also knew that once he left this small world of talismans, he didn't know what dangers he would face in the future. Therefore, it was better for Guo Shier to be as strong as possible.

The sacrificial altar drew a streak of talisman light in the air and instantly entered the dust storm.

The defense was activated, and a thin layer of talisman light enveloped the sacrificial altar. The dust storm hit the talisman light shield, and sparks of talisman light appeared. In an instant, the surroundings were dark. Guo Shier smiled bitterly and said, "I can't see anything … It's yellow …"

A Handsome Old Man pointed to the front and said, "Just go forward. Who cares what it has. Let's rush over to take a look."

Guo Shier carefully analyzed and said, "This dust storm seems to be … swirling in one direction, like a whirlpool. Let's go to the center to take a look."

A Handsome Old Man praised, "You're quite sensitive. Not bad, it really does look like a whirlpool."

This bit of dust storm didn't affect Guo Shier at all. Other than blocking his line of sight, it was negligible. The sacrificial altar broke through the dust storm and quickly approached the center of the whirlpool. The wind here was extremely strong. The howling wind mixed with countless dust storm, forming a swirling belt of yellow sand and dust.

The surrounding pressure suddenly lightened, and an empty space of about a hundred square meters appeared. There was no dust storm at all. There was a large hole in the ground, and the dust storm was swirling around the hole. Guo Shier was surprised to find that many desert insects had fallen into the hole. There were scorpions, snakes, desert rats, and so on. There were all kinds of insects, and there were countless of them. They followed the whirlpool and fell into the hole.

A Handsome Old Man reminded, "This is a mouth!"

Guo Shier carefully identified it and smiled. "Indeed, I don't know what kind of mutated talisman beast it is. It actually buried its body in the sand dune. Just by looking at its mouth … it should be a high-grade mutated talisman beast …"

A Handsome Old Man said, "It might not be a mutated talisman beast. It might be a mutated talisman insect or an Aberration Talisman Insect. It has a huge body."

Guo Shier wasn't too interested in the Aberration Talisman Insect. It was hard to kill them, and they had a huge body. Their soul essence wasn't as useful as an Aberration Talisman Beast of the same level. The most important thing was that he already had enough soul essence. Therefore, he didn't care too much about insects obtaining souls. After confirming that the sand storm was caused by the Aberration Talisman Insect eating, he planned to leave.

A Handsome Old Man suddenly said, "Watch out! Be careful! "

A huge suction force hooked onto the sacrificial altar and slowly moved it towards the huge mouth. Guo Shier laughed. "Hehe, I didn't provoke it, but it wanted to eat me. Since that's the case … I won't be polite."

The Moon Blade flew out. Although the Moon Blade wasn't a Sacrificial Treasure anymore, after being refined by A Handsome Old Man and Guo Shier, it now had the might of a Grade 9 Sacrificial Treasure. In an instant, the Moon Blade expanded to a length of a hundred meters. Guo Shier waved his hand and shouted, "Slash!" He hadn't used the Moon Blade for a long time. When he slashed it down, he immediately felt something different. It was a feeling as though he was in control of the world.

Boom!

The Moon Blade pierced into the hole and entered the mouth of the Aberration Talisman Insect.

Immediately, the hole closed, and the entire whirlpool lost its momentum. Countless sand and dust poured down, and in a few breaths, the sky could be seen. Guo Shier could clearly feel the Moon Blade. He flipped his hand and formed a chant. The Moon Blade was like a flood dragon as it danced around in the stomach of the Aberration Talisman Insect.

Guo Shier stretched out his hand and slapped the sacrificial altar. In an instant, he flew a few hundred meters into the air.

The sand dunes on the desert started to collapse, and a ripple that extended for thousands of meters appeared on the desert. Those were the traces of the Aberration Talisman Insect struggling under the sand dunes.

Guo Shier calmly commanded the Moon Blade. Although it was separated by the body of the Aberration Talisman Insect, it still couldn't stop his commands. This was the power of a Nine-Level Altar Professional.

Finally, the Aberration Talisman Insect couldn't take it anymore and frantically jumped out of the ground. Guo Shier then realized that it was a huge earthworm. Looking from the sky, this thing was extremely disgusting, and there were countless amounts of mucus secreting from its body. Guo Shier said, "I hate this kind of ugly long worm … I like beautiful worms!"

A Handsome Old Man couldn't help but laugh. "That's right. I would rather like a fierce-looking worm than this kind of slimy worm … Kill it!"

This time, Guo Shier realized that his strength had reached a terrifying level. With a slash of his hand, the Moon Blade quickly sliced through the stomach of the Aberration Talisman Insect. In the blink of an eye, the Aberration Talisman Insect was already on its last breath. It couldn't even display its abilities and skills, and it was almost done for.

Guo Shier pointed again, and the Moon Blade was forcefully sliced out of the Aberration Talisman Insect's stomach and quickly flew back.

A Handsome Old Man asked, "It isn't dead yet … Why are you in such a hurry to retrieve the Moon Blade?"

Guo Shier smiled. He kept the Moon Blade and took out the Soul Suppressing Cauldron. "Soul Essence Beasts require a large amount of flesh and blood to feed. I'm controlling the Soul Essence Beasts to not kill each other. After a long time, they will weaken."

With a slap of the Soul Suppressing Cauldron, about 100,000 Soul Essence Beasts flew out along with the colorful light. They circled in the air and swarmed towards the dying Aberration Talisman Insect. Guo Shier couldn't be bothered to collect the materials from the body of the Aberration Talisman Insect and directly let the Soul Essence Beasts devour it.

The thousand-meter-long Aberration Talisman Insect was crazily devoured by the 100,000 Soul Essence Beasts. In just a short while, not even a piece of its skin was left. The desert was clean, and only the traces of the Aberration Talisman Insect's struggle remained. Guo Shier couldn't help but exclaim, "That's really f * cking amazing. If I meet a powerful Aberration Talisman Beast next time, I'll just release the Soul Essence Beasts … It might save me a lot of energy."

A Handsome Old Man curled his lips and said, "That's not worth it. You should understand."

Guo Shier scratched his head. He also realized that it was indeed not worth it.

At this moment, the ground below suddenly shook violently.
