Wherever the sandstorm passed, the sand rolled up to a hundred meters high. All the nearby air was swept away, and it made a rumbling sound.
Liu Ming raised his hand and immediately released a gray flying knife spiritual weapon, but as soon as it touched the sandstorm, it was immediately crushed into pieces with a whine.
Liu Ming was shocked, and he ran forward without saying a word.
Along the way, he also cast some mystic arts on himself from time to time, but he could only be a little faster than the hundred meters long sandstorm.
After running for more than a hundred miles in one breath, the sandstorm behind him disappeared again.
Liu Ming immediately sat on the ground panting. He took out an upper grade spirit stone to replenish his spiritual power. Since he stepped on the path of cultivation, he basically rode on the clouds. He had never run like this before.
After resting for an hour, he recovered most of his spiritual power and physical strength, but when he stood up and wanted to turn around again to try to leave, the sandstorm behind him broke out again. The black sandstorm whistled toward him.
Liu Ming could only run again. When he tried to channel his spells to attack the sandstorm, he found that no matter if he used wind blades or fireballs, or channeled Tiger Dragon Hell Prison, they couldn't cause any effect on it. All the attacks were swallowed by the sandstorm without any effect at all.
Liu Ming had no choice but to continue running forward.
However, when he ran for a hundred miles again, he suddenly sensed a strange wave coming from the opposite side. His spiritual power was condensed, and most of it couldn't be channeled. His strength suddenly dropped from the Crystallization Period intermediate stage to the Condensation Period intermediate stage!
This time, Liu Ming's face really changed drastically. He tried to turn around a few times, and he found that the sandstorm came as expected every time. He could only grit his teeth and simply continued to walk deeper into the desert.
Even so, he still encountered a few small sandstorms along the way, forcing him to run a few times.
This black desert was exceptionally strange. There was no distinction between day and night. Other than the black mass beneath his feet, the sky above his head was always a pale yellow. If it weren't for Liu Ming's sensitivity to the daily changes in time, he wouldn't have been able to tell whether it was day or night.
After walking like this for two full days, he suddenly saw two vague figures walking somewhere on foot in the desert more than a thousand feet away.
From afar, these two people were about the same size as Liu Ming. They looked no different from ordinary people. They wore loose robes woven from white silk and had white scarves wrapped around their heads.
At this moment, a gust of wind whistled not far behind the two of them, swirling up a cloud of black sand and dust, sweeping towards the two of them.
All of a sudden, their bodies blurred, and they transformed into specks of fine sand that disappeared into the sand beneath their feet.
The menacing sandstorm whistled past the place where the two of them had disappeared. After a few breaths, it was far away from where the two of them were and headed in another direction.
On the black desert, the two mounds of sand and gravel once again condensed into two human figures and continued to walk forward.
As Liu Ming was surprised, he remembered the Sand Clan people who could turn their bodies into sand mentioned in the classics of Taiqing Gate.
These Sand Clan people lived in the desert all year round. Everyone was born with a natural sand spirit body.
It was just that tens of thousands of years ago, the Sand Clan people suddenly disappeared from the world, and no one had ever seen them again.
He didn't expect to meet two of them in this strange black desert.
Liu Ming scanned with Divine Thought and found that the two of them were only at the Condensation Period early stage. After thinking for a while, he strode toward the two of them.
"Brothers, please wait. I accidentally strayed into this desert, but after wandering around for a few days, I still can't find the way out. Do you know how to leave this place?" Liu Ming came not far behind the two and asked loudly.
When the two Sand Clan men heard the words, they turned around and saw Liu Ming with a dusty face. They were slightly taken aback at first, but when they heard Liu Ming said that he couldn't find the way back, they smiled at each other.
"I'm Tu La, this is my brother Tu Er." The two of them crossed their arms in front of their chests and bowed. Then, the slightly shorter Sand Race man laughed and said in a rough voice.
"I'm Liu Ming." Liu Ming also bowed like the two, then he said.
"It turns out to be Brother Liu. People who are not familiar with this desert are really easy to get lost in it. Looking at your dress, you should be an outsider. We often have some foreign cultivators breaking in, but we have never left here, so we really don't know the way to leave. We've just finished hunting outside and are preparing to return to the tribe. If Brother Liu wants to leave, why don't you follow us back to the tribe first? Perhaps the Great Elder knows a way to leave, "another tall and sturdy man said with a warm smile.
"Then thank you." Liu Ming nodded after a little hesitation.
The two of them looked very kind, and their tone seemed quite sincere. He might as well follow them to their residence first to inquire about the situation in this strange desert.
Even if the other party lied to him, as long as there was no existence above the Jin Dan later stage in their tribe, he was very sure that he could get away easily.
Seeing Liu Ming nodding, the two walked all the way west with Liu Ming.
Along the way, Liu Ming followed the footsteps of the two. Out of caution, he didn't say too much about himself. He just chatted with the two. At the same time, he looked at the endless black desert, paid attention to the special objects around him, and secretly remembered the route he had taken.
About 2 hours later, Liu Ming was surprised to find that a large oasis with a radius of more than a thousand acres appeared a few miles in front of the 3 of them.
"Brother Liu, we are almost there. The oasis in front is Shaman City." Tula looked back at Liu Ming and pointed at the oasis.
Hearing this, Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the oasis in the distance.
On the oasis, there was a small city that occupied about one-third of the oasis area. The surrounding walls of the city were made of black sand. They were 80 meters high.
Because of the distance and the tall walls, Liu Ming couldn't see the specific situation inside the city wall, but he could see some people dressed like Tula and Liu Ming from time to time, constantly going in and out of the city.
Facing the dark desert for several days in a row, he had to face the evil wind and sandstorms at any time, and he had to be wary of Lie Zhentian's pursuit. The tight string in Liu Ming's heart relaxed a little after seeing this green land.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a "hissing" sound coming from behind.
"Not good, the sandstorm is coming!" Liu Ming's face changed, and he quickly stopped.
When he came along the way with the Tula brothers, he heard that the sound of sand was a sign of the arrival of a sandstorm.
Sure enough, not far behind him, a gust of wind whistled across the ground, pushing one black sand dune after another, and rolling up a large amount of black sand wherever it passed.
Under the gust of wind, it kept rolling up bursts of black sand, forming one black vortex after another.
Wherever the sandstorm passed, it was a mess. After the vortex swept by, a huge pit was quite eye-catching.
Liu Ming immediately ran toward the oasis without saying a word.
The Tula brothers seemed much calmer. They chanted a spell, and their figures slowly turned into sand. After a few flashes, they also rushed forward with a gust of wind.
It didn't take long for the 3 of them to rush to the oasis city.
The strange thing was that as soon as the amazing sandstorm touched the edge of the oasis, it immediately disappeared.
Liu Ming couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this.
There was a thin man guarding the city gate. When he saw the Tula brothers, he immediately greeted them with a joyful expression.
"This is …" Then, the guard looked at Liu Ming and asked with a puzzled expression.
"This is a foreign cultivator that we met on the way back. We plan to bring him to meet the grand elder later," Tu La explained.
"I see. The grand elder is living in his residence. If you go now, you can see him." The guard heard this and came to a sudden realization. He looked at Liu Ming with interest.
Tu Er brought Liu Ming into the city, while Tu La talked to the man called Tu Lang about today's harvest.
"Brother Liu, please don't blame us. Our sand tribe isn't big. We only have three to four hundred people. Among them, the Tu and Sun clans have the most people. At this moment, Brother Liu might as well walk around a little to familiarize himself with the environment here. However, Brother Liu, don't go too far. I will report to the grand elder first. If the grand elder agrees, I will lead Brother Liu to meet him. "Tu Er said to Liu Ming with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Tu." Liu Ming nodded slightly and thanked him again.
After Tu Er left, Liu Ming turned his gaze to the various tribes in the city.
The houses in the Sand Clan tribe were very different from the buildings of ordinary human cultivators. Most of them looked like tents. They were supported by stone pillars made of sand and stone. The height was about thirty meters.
The people coming and going here were all dressed similarly. Most of them exuded the aura of the Condensation Period or above. A few of them even had the spiritual pressure of the Crystallization Period.
Liu Ming saw that their appearance was very natural. It seemed that their strength was not suppressed at all, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
At this moment, a Sand Clan girl exuding the aura of the Crystallization Period walked out of a rather luxurious tent and walked toward Liu Ming.
As soon as this Sand Clan girl appeared, she immediately attracted Liu Ming's attention, and he looked at her with a change of expression.
This woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a snow-white dress with her slender waist exposed. Her face was covered by a transparent white gauze, leaving only a pair of watery eyes exposed. Her eyes were abnormally clear. At first glance, there was a sense of tranquility like a mountain spring flowing through the heart. Her temperament was very different from all the women Liu Ming had seen before.
