"Everyone has their own secrets, and every living creature has theirs as well. It's just that you don't know if you are not one of its kind. "If it doesn't tell you, you won't know either.
Su Ming had his secrets, Dijiu Mo Sha had his secrets, the Abyss Dragon had his secrets, and the bald crane also had its secrets.
At that moment, the mountain of stars had become one of its many secrets.
When Su Ming walked down the mountain and they slowly left into the distance in the galaxy, the bald crane turned its head around and looked at the mountain and its summit. Its tears seeped through its heart, which was already filled with wounds, and fell on an unknown place.
"Is it worth it..?" the bald crane asked softly. This was something that rarely happened to it. It did not add any adjectives to its words, and neither did it call itself Granny Crane.
It left into the distance, the mountain of stars left into the distance, and its memories … also left into the distance.
When Su Ming turned his head around, he did not see the bald crane's tears. Instead, he saw the seemingly heartless, comical, and greedy bald crane.
It was just like how no one could see the tears of a fish, because it was in water. No one could tell just how much of it was water and how much of it was salty tears.
"Bald crane, why do I feel like there's something wrong with you?" the big yellow dog that was the Abyss Dragon mumbled softly to the bald crane.
"How could there be something wrong with your Grandpa Crane? I'm just wondering, do you think there's a crystal mine in that mountain of stars?" The bald crane turned its head around and cast a glance at the mountain of stars again. The Abyss Dragon could not see the hint of sorrow and confusion on its face when it turned its head around.
…..
Another month passed by. Su Ming walked past Luo Star Ocean and went over the mountain of stars. What appeared before his eyes was a boundless desert. That desert was the same as the mountain of stars. It floated in the galaxy, and when he looked at it, it looked like a piece of land.
It was a desert formed by an endless amount of dust. Those dust were shattered stones, the shattered fragments of planets. They had been gathered together by some sort of power to form a desert whose end could not be seen.
Moaning wind blew past the desert, lifting up the sand and stirring up the power of dust storms. Wherever it went, it looked as if there were countless sand dragons tumbling about and roaring, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.
"Once we pass through this Dust Shatter Desert, we'll see my tribe. This is … the most dangerous place on our journey. "After the Sand Shatter Desert, the Sand Earthlings' God swept through the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean with a great divine ability before he fell asleep. He gathered the dust from the shattered planets here.
The Shattered Dust Desert was a natural barrier and a place for the Sand Earth Tribe to live and reproduce. That was because the Sand Earth Tribe were all males. They were spirits born naturally from the sand.
Most of the Sand Earthlings were short. They did not have much offensive abilities, and neither did they have any cultivation bases. They were very weak … but if a race could survive in Divine Essence Star Ocean, then if they were incredibly weak in one aspect, then there would definitely be one aspect that was incredibly strong.
The Sand Earthlings could raise Sand Spirit Evil, which was a powerful Vicious Beast from ancient times. Their bodies were incredibly large, and when they lay in the desert, it was hard for people to tell them apart. However, when they woke up, they would become the rulers of the desert.
"Sand Earthlings do not rear many of these powerful ferocious beasts from ancient times, but each of them … is incredibly strong. "We'll need half a month to move through this desert. During this half a month, it'll be best if we don't disturb Sand Earthlings." Dijiu Mo Sha turned his head around and cast Su Ming a glance, then looked at the Abyss Dragon and bald crane before he spoke cautiously.
Once Su Ming nodded to show that he understood, Dijiu Mo Sha sucked in a deep breath and stepped into the desert. With his full speed, he charged forward. Su Ming followed behind him. As he moved forward, he looked at the desert around him. It was mainly brown. There was not much yellow, and neither was there much black.
That color was like blood that had dried up in the passage of time after being dyed red. A savage air traveled into Su Ming's senses.
Moaning wind swept up sand and swept it into the distance, causing the area to be shrouded in obscurity. It was very easy for people to lose their sense of direction. Even divine senses were limited in this place.
However, Dijiu Mo Sha clearly had a way to identify the path in this place. Perhaps it was because he was worried that Su Ming would misunderstand him, or perhaps it was because his speed was not as fast as Su Ming's, but as he moved forward, he always maintained a certain distance from Su Ming.
Time trickled by. When the sixth day arrived, they had already stepped into the depths of the desert. Everything around them was sand, and all they could hear was the moaning sound of wind crashing against sand.
Dijiu Mo Sha let out a sigh of relief, then turned his head around and whispered to Su Ming, "It's still alright. There shouldn't be any accidents on this trip. Sand Earthlings didn't stop us. In truth, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them and don't violate their taboos, then we won't be in any danger."
"Taboos?" A focused glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
"Yes. Sand Earthlings are very unique, because they don't have any females among them. All of them are spirits born from the sand, which is why they treat the sand as their race's mother.
"That's why they only have one taboo. They do not allow any female living beings to step into this place. They believe that this is a form of blasphemy to their race.
"If any female living beings step into this place, they will capture them and bury them here so that they will become part of their race's mother. But this has nothing to do with us …" Dijiu Mo Sha said in a relaxed manner, but when he said those words, the ground suddenly started trembling.
The tremors made it seem as if there was a gigantic dragon tumbling about in the depths of the ground. There were also low growls coming from all directions with loud rumbles. At the same time, Su Ming saw with his own eyes that as the sandstorm roared behind them, the sand on the ground swelled up, and a hand that was several thousands of feet in size appeared from within the swollen sand mound.
It was a hand formed by sand. Soon after, another hand appeared, and a giant that was several tens of thousands of feet tall stood up from the ground.
It was a sand giant. When it stood up with its thick body, a large amount of sand fell off. The sandstorm stirred up again and surrounded the area, forming the armor and cloak on its body. There were no eyes on its head, only a gaping mouth. When it opened it, sand fell down like rain, and a loud growl reverberated in all directions.
"Growl!"
The giant threw its head back and roared. It did not even look at Su Ming and the others. It took a huge step forward and charged in the direction where they had come from. With each step it took, the ground would tremble. After a moment, Su Ming saw another giant in the distance. It crawled up from the sand on the ground, and as it roared, it let out a growl.
"Evil Sand Spirit!" Dijiu Mo Sha's expression changed. He instinctively took a few steps back, but when he saw the giant leaving into the distance, he relaxed.
"I wonder who provoked the Sand Earthlings in this desert …" He shook his head. When he looked towards Su Ming, he noticed that he was frowning.
At that moment, a sound that sounded like a whistle came from the ground. It rose and fell, and there were also piercing screeches echoing in the air. Fortunately, even though the sound came from underground, it could be clearly heard, and it was swiftly leaving into the distance.
"A female living creature has stepped into this desert!" Dijiu Mo Sha's eyes swiftly focused.
"That must be it, or else it would be impossible for the Sand Earthlings to make that whistle and head over. If it was just a normal provocation, they wouldn't have appeared."
Su Ming sighed and rubbed the center of his brows.
"Where is your tribe?" Su Ming looked towards Dijiu Mo Sha.
"If you travel straight for about ten days, you'll be able to leave this desert. Over there, you'll see a broken planet. That planet is where my tribe is," Dijiu Mo Sha said in detail.
When Su Ming heard this, he lifted his right hand and pushed down at the ground beneath him through the air. Immediately, the sand on the ground sank down. There were faint signs of it being burned and melted, and it formed the outline of a runic symbol.
Then, when Su Ming swung his arm, the sand around him swam over and covered the runic symbol.
"This is …" Dijiu Mo Sha was momentarily stunned.
"I'll be leaving for a while. Wait for me in your tribe. I'll rush over in at most a month," Su Ming said flatly. He turned his head around to look at the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon. The bald crane was connected to Su Ming's mind, so it naturally understood what he meant. It charged towards Su Ming and was put away into his storage bag. As for the Abyss Dragon, while it was unwilling, it did not reject Su Ming. Once it was put away into his storage bag, a stern look appeared on Su Ming's face, and a freezing glare shone in his eyes.
Before that glare disappeared, Su Ming had already taken a step in the direction they had come from. He was so fast that he was like a bolt of lightning. The sand he stirred up and the sound of air being sliced apart let out a piercing, sharp sound, as if the illusion and reality had crashed into each other.
Before Dijiu Mo Sha could finish speaking, Su Ming had already left into the distance. A focused glint appeared in his eyes, and a pensive look appeared on his face. After a long while, after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and swiftly left in the direction he had set.
He might not be able to guess what Su Ming wanted to do, but all of this was definitely related to the abnormal actions of the Sand Earthlings. With his level of cultivation, it would be difficult for him to participate in this, and there was no need for him to follow him. He would bring Su Ming back to his tribe, and this would be considered as him repaying him for saving his life. After that, they would no longer have any contact with each other.
In a spot far away from Su Ming was the edge of the desert. At that moment, sand tumbled about. Rumbling sounds echoed in the air, as if the ground had turned into an ocean. There were also piercing whistles echoing in the air.
Xu Hui's expression was firm, and there was a murderous look in her phoenix-like eyes. She was smiling coldly as she stared at her surroundings. Dressed in red, she was incredibly eye-catching in the desert like a rose in full bloom, and she exuded an enchanting beauty.
She did not retreat. Instead, she charged into the depths of the desert. The rumbling sounds around her became even stronger, and after a moment, the ground trembled violently. She saw a giant that was tens of thousands of feet tall in the distance, and it was charging towards her with a roar.
Before the giant closed in, he had already lifted his right hand and flung it upwards. Immediately, the sand in front of him tumbled about with a loud bang, stirring up a sandstorm that looked as if it was sweeping up the sky. In the span of a breath, it closed in on Xu Hui.
