"What are you holding in your hand?" The Sand Clan girl did not answer Liu Ming's question. Instead, she looked at the silver-white flute in his hand with interest.
It was the first time that Liu Ming heard this woman speak. Her voice was as soft and crisp as a pearl.
"Flute, an ordinary musical instrument." Liu Ming replied faintly. The Sand Clan people were trapped in this Odd Desert, and they were almost completely cut off from the outside world. It was not surprising that they didn't know the existence of flute.
"We also have musical instruments here. This is the first time I have seen this flute, but its sound is very nice. I like it very much!" The Sand Clan girl's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile. Her bright eyes flickered like the stars in the sky, making everything around her overshadowed.
"You are overpraising me." Liu Ming nodded slightly and returned the salute. His face was calm, but a trace of suspicion flashed in his heart.
After paying attention to observation for half a month, he had long discovered that this Sand Clan girl seemed to have a high status in the Sand Clan tribe. He had no interaction with her, so why did she suddenly take the initiative to talk to him?
"I heard from others that you have been to a lot of places outside. Is this true?" The girl suddenly changed the topic and asked.
"This is true. I have indeed been to a lot of places." Liu Ming nodded, but he still didn't know the other party's intention.
"Since this is the case, can you tell me about the outside world? Don't tell me what you have told other people. Tell me what you haven't told me." The Sand Clan girl smiled sweetly. She gathered her skirt and sat down next to Liu Ming. At the same time, her bright eyes looked at Liu Ming expectantly.
A faint virgin fragrance suddenly came into Liu Ming's nose. His heart moved immediately. He glanced at the girl again. Seeing that her eyes were clear, his heart suddenly felt a little enlightened.
"Hehe, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know." Liu Ming replied with a slight smile.
Although this Sand Clan girl had the cultivation of the early stage of the Crystallization Period, her personality seemed to be quite innocent. When she heard this, her face suddenly showed a hint of joy. She really asked a lot of things about the outside world, but compared to other Sand Clan people, she was much more detailed and specific.
Liu Ming was patient. Other than the things that were related to himself, which were inconvenient to talk about, he told them everything.
As a result, the two of them continued asking and answering questions for over an hour.
"It's getting late. Thank you, Brother Liu. I still have things to do, so I'll head back first. " Although the young girl seemed to want to continue, after looking at the horizon, she still stood up and said her goodbyes.
"Not at all. I have also benefited a lot from chatting with you." Liu Ming replied with a smile.
During the conversation just now, he also took the opportunity to ask some things about this Odd Desert and got some things he wanted to know.
The Sand Clan girl smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. Her body suddenly lit up, then she turned into a gust of wind and swept toward the oasis.
Liu Ming looked at the direction where the young girl left. His eyes flickered; no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, a "hissing" sound of sand suddenly came from not far away!
Dozens of miles away from the sand dune where he was sitting, a black sand curtain swept toward this side. As the black sand swept past, half of the sky was covered.
"It's a sandstorm again …" Liu Ming murmured helplessly when he saw this.
Living in this place, it was still very uncomfortable to face the black sand that came from time to time all day long.
Then he also strode toward the oasis.
In the next 2 months, the frequency of sandstorms outside the oasis where Shaman City was located did not weaken, but it became more and more frequent. Even the number of Sand Clan people who went out to hunt on weekdays also decreased.
However, these had no effect on Liu Ming. He still wandered around the oasis every day. In the evening, he would go to the sand dune outside the city to play the flute to relieve his mood.
Whenever this time, the stunning Sand Clan girl would also appear on time. She didn't speak, but she just stood quietly and listened.
It was boring for Liu Ming to play alone, but it didn't hurt to have such an audience.
As time went by, the 2 gradually became familiar with each other.
Every time the Sand Clan girl finished listening, she would ask about the outside cultivation world. What made Liu Ming feel strange was that this woman was not interested in the southern wilderness. Instead, she often asked about the 8 great families of the Middle Sky Continent.
Although Liu Ming had some doubts, he naturally wouldn't go to the bottom of it.
On this day, the melodious song drifted slowly in the boundless desert. At the end of the song, Liu Ming slowly got up and put away the flute in his hand.
The Sand Race girl looked at him quietly from behind, her clear eyes rippling with light. Suddenly, she said softly, "You're right.
"My name is Sha Chuer."
Liu Ming was startled when he heard the words, then he turned his head and smiled,
"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Liu Ming …"
Before he finished speaking, on the black sand more than 100 meters away from the 2, there was a sudden "bang". The black sand splashed, and a yellow figure emerged from it.
The yellow shadow leaped up and pounced forward, heading straight for Sha Chuer.
This change happened suddenly like a flash of lightning. The yellow figure was so close to the 2, but they didn't notice it at all.
Liu Ming's eyes suddenly turned cold. A crystal light flashed between his eyebrows, and an inch-long golden sword blasted out. It grew to the size of a few feet in the wind, exuding a fierce and unparalleled sword qi.
Although Sha Chuer had the cultivation of the Crystallization Period, her experience in fighting the enemy was obviously not as rich as Liu Ming. Her reaction was a little slower. When she turned around, the golden light had already flown past her.
"Poof"!
The yellow figure suddenly let out a low roar, then it fell heavily on the nearby sand in a bloody light.
Sha Chuer breathed a sigh of relief. She first showed a hint of gratitude to Liu Ming. When she saw the thing on the sand, her face changed drastically.
On the sand, there was a wolf-like demonic beast covered with earthy yellow long fur. It had sharp ears and protruding cheekbones. Its body had been cut open by the sword light. Dark red blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground. A bloody heart that was steaming hot was still twitching slightly.
This beast's eyebrows were drooping. At first glance, it looked like a thin native dog, but when he saw its gray-brown long tail and fangs, he knew it must be a bloodthirsty beast.
Liu Ming looked at the beastkin corpse on the ground, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of surprise.
Although the beast did not look amazing, its entire body was extremely hard. His attack just now seemed to be casual, but in reality, he had used forty to fifty percent of his strength. Furthermore, he had used the Void Flying Sword, a Yuan Spirit Flying Sword, to barely break the beast's defense.
"This is a sand jackal. Brother Liu, be careful. This kind of beastkin always lives in groups. You can't see only one of them." Sha Chuer said quickly. She raised 1 hand, and the surrounding black sand instantly condensed into a 10 meters long sand blade in her hand. She looked around with vigilance.
Liu Ming frowned when he heard the words. He recalled the true spirit flying sword and held it in his hand, then he was about to ask.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound around. A few yellow phantasms flashed, and a few sand jackals rushed out of the sand. They surrounded Liu Ming and Sha Chuer in the middle.
One of the slightly larger sand jackals suddenly raised its front paw and roared at the sky. It quickly passed the jackals and appeared in front of the 2 in a flash.
The beastkin looked past the 2 and stared at the corpse of the sand jackal behind Sha Chuer. After a whimper, it suddenly raised its head and let out a shrill scream.
"Awoo!"
The howl was sad and sorrowful. Obviously, the sand jackal killed by Liu Ming should be its offspring.
When the Demonic Beast lowered its head to look at the two of them again, its eyes suddenly became cold.
Then a thin green line suddenly appeared between its brows, then it slowly opened a green vertical eye. A strange green light beam flashed from it, blasting at Liu Ming and Sha Chuer.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered. As he was about to block it, Sha Chuer on the side seemed to have expected it. She quickly made a gesture, and a sand wall was condensed in front of them.
Speaking of it, this was the first time that Liu Ming saw the Sand Clan people fighting. Sha Chuer didn't chant a spell. She just made a gesture, and a sand wall was condensed in front of them.
"Boom"!
The green light beam hit the black sand wall directly, and it dispersed like a cloud. The cloud dissipated and turned into little green wandering souls. They attached to the sand wall and slowly penetrated into the black sand wall through the gaps between the sand.
The black sand wall trembled slightly under the green light. Then the green light flashed, and the black sand wall condensed into green and black rocks in a blink of an eye. In the next moment, it exploded with a loud rumble.
Without the obstruction, the green light beam immediately penetrated the wall and continued to shoot at Liu Ming and Sha Chuer.
Sha Chuer snorted, raised the black sand blade in her hand, and slashed at the strange green light. The blade light flashed, and the strange green light was instantly shattered.
"Although these sand jackals are only at the Condensation Period early stage, their defense is very amazing. Some powerful sand jackals can even petrify objects through the third vertical eye on their forehead. It is hard to guard against. Brother Liu should be more careful." Sha Chuer held the black sand blade horizontally and reminded Liu Ming quickly. She didn't seem to have much fighting experience, but she knew the habits of these sand jackals like the back of her hand.
As soon as she spoke, the woman's figure flickered, and she appeared behind the biggest sand jackal. She held the blade with both hands and slashed down fiercely.
The beast's eyes flickered. It seemed to see the power of the black sand blade, so it didn't dare to take it head-on. It could only quickly twist its flexible body to dodge the sand blade.
Sha Chuer finally showed the strength that a powerhouse of the Crystallization Period should have. She just flicked her wrist, and the black sand blade immediately left her hand. As it trembled, it was divided into 3, making a whistling sound. They blocked all the escape routes of this large sand jackal from different directions.
