"In the center of the desert, there is a ruin. It is a palace from many years ago. There are many damaged puppets in the palace, and this bronze giant puppet is one of the most powerful ones. There should be a lot of similar puppets. Brother Liu just needs to find another puppet with a complete core. As for the way to leave the desert, forgive me for not telling you now. I must wait for Brother Liu to get the core before I can tell you. "The fat old man said frankly.
After Liu Ming listened, he laughed.
The fat old man looked as usual as if he was waiting for Liu Ming to speak.
"Senior must be joking. If you don't tell me the general way to leave, I will never go to the ruin to find the puppet core. If I get the puppet core back, but the elder doesn't tell me the way to leave and asks me to do other things, what should I do? Moreover, the ruin palace that the great elder mentioned must be very dangerous. Otherwise, your family would have already sent people to enter it. Why do I, an outsider, need to take action? In short, senior's words can't convince me. Without getting a certain way to leave, I'm afraid I can't promise this matter. "Liu Ming said faintly.
"Well, Brother Liu, with Brother Liu's performance today, I can no longer treat you as an outsider. Then I will tell you more things." The fat old man thought for a while, then he said with a smile.
Liu Ming naturally expressed his willingness to listen.
"This place is called Odd Desert in the outside world, but in the eyes of our Sand Clan, it is a holy land. In fact, it is the treasure of the mighty man thousands of years ago. Before the mighty person died, he moved this treasure into the crack of space. Every ten years, this treasure will break open a crack of space and appear somewhere in the south. At this time, the sandstorm in the crack will be greatly weakened, and only then will outsiders have the possibility to come in. But it is also a good opportunity to leave, but it must be in a specific place. "
"Our Sand Clan is actually the descendants of the mighty man. The sand beasts that Brother Liu saw before are the bloodline of the mighty man's spiritual beasts. As for the ruins that I mentioned just now, it is the residence of this almighty being when he was still alive. Although this mighty man has fallen for tens of thousands of years, how can the ruins left by such a character not have a few tricks? Therefore, the ruins are still full of traps, and there are many puppets wandering outside the palace. Anyone who approaches will be attacked. "
"In the early days, our ancestors still had a way to control some wandering puppets and even command those sand beasts. But after thousands of years, the method of controlling puppets has long been lost. Those sand beasts are even more uncontrollable under the bloodline change. Instead, they have become a big threat to our Sand Clan. "
"But more importantly, our ancestors of the Sand Clan once made a blood oath that their descendants must not step into the depths of the ruins. Otherwise, they will suffer the backlash of the oath, and the entire clan will be exterminated. Now, all the puppet parts that could be found in the outer perimeter of the ruins had long been used up. If they wanted to search for more, they would have to go deeper into the ruins or even into the palace. This is also the reason why I can only ask Fellow Daoist to make the trip. As long as Brother Liu can find the core, this old man can use the clan's treasures, and at the risk of losing some of my vitality, I can send you safely away when the next ten-year period arrives. "
The plump old man did not hold back as he told Liu Ming word by word, appearing very sincere.
After Liu Ming heard this, although he didn't completely believe the other party's words, he was greatly enlightened.
According to the great elder of the Sand Clan, when he entered the Odd Desert, it was the time when the cave treasure broke the space crack and appeared in the southern wilderness. In this way, wouldn't he have to stay in this space for ten years before he could leave?
Fortunately, he still had some pills on him, so he could afford to wait ten years.
"In that case, I can agree to the matter proposed by the great elder, but the great elder must make a blood oath to ensure that after the matter is completed, you will help me leave." Liu Ming thought for a while and said again.
"This should be the case. I am willing to swear on the lives of the entire clan that after the matter is completed, I will do my best to help Brother Liu leave this place. Otherwise, my clan will be exterminated. "The plump old man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he promised.
Then, he bit his finger and forced out a few drops of blood essence. He really made a blood oath in front of Liu Ming.
Seeing this, Liu Ming nodded slightly, which meant that he agreed to the matter.
"In that case, Brother Liu, Brother Liu should go back to rest early. Tomorrow, I will ask Chu Er to take you to the ruins in the center of the desert. This girl is also quite clear about the specific situation there. She will definitely be able to help you." Seeing this, the plump old man said with a happy face.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Liu Ming got up and cupped his fist. He bid farewell to the great elder of the Sand Clan, then he turned and left.
As soon as he returned to his residence, he fell into a deep sleep.
In today's battle, he had consumed a lot of spiritual power and mental power. Tomorrow's trip might be even more dangerous. He must hurry to restore himself to the best state.
The next day, Liu Ming didn't wake up until it was almost noon.
When he opened the curtain of the tent with sleepy eyes, he found that Sha Chuer had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Brother Liu, you are awake." Sha Chuer was still covered with white sand. When she saw Liu Ming coming out, she said with a chuckle.
"Sorry to keep Miss Sha waiting. It seems that the great elder has already told Miss Chu Er. In this case, let's go. "Liu Ming said.
"Okay. The center of the ruins is hundreds of miles away from here. Brother Liu can't travel in the sand like us Sand Clan people. I'm afraid it will take a while. We will talk about the specific situation as we go. "Sha Chuer nodded and said.
Next, Liu Ming left Shaman City under the leadership of Sha Chuer and rushed to the center of the desert.
Along the way, because the two had known each other for a long time, and they fought side by side yesterday, they talked very happily.
After the two chatted casually for a while, Liu Ming changed the topic and asked.
"About this blow and the mighty man mentioned by the great elder, can Miss Sha tell me in detail?"
"Brother Liu, you should know that the master of this Heavenly Abode is the Mystic Enlightening Almighty who is known as the Southern Wasteland Puppet Emperor in the outside world. It is said that this senior was originally from the Celestial Work Sect, one of the 4 ancient sects of the Middle Sky Continent. Later, he actually rebelled against the Celestial Work Sect and became an abandoned disciple. However, his cultivation improved greatly after that, and he created a large number of puppet legions. Relying on the power of puppets, he once dominated the southern wilderness for a while. "Sha Chuer slowly explained to Liu Ming as they walked.
"Sure enough." Liu Ming muttered to himself when he heard this.
"Brother Liu, what do you mean?" Sha Chuer was a little puzzled when she heard this.
"I know a person who is also from the Nature Work Sect. He controls a golden copper puppet which is quite similar to the green copper puppet controlled by the great elder. Now it seems that it is because they are from the same sect." Liu Ming had nothing to hide, so he explained.
"Brother Liu, it turns out that you are acquainted with the Nature Work Sect. In fact, I'm not a pure-blood Sand Clan people. My father is not a Sand Clan person. Just like Brother Liu, he is an outsider who entered the Holy Land many years ago. He was originally a disciple of an aristocratic family in the Middle Sky Continent. He was naturally very unwilling to be trapped here, but he later met my mother. The two of them fell in love with each other, and they got married. Since then, my father never had the thought of leaving this place.
However, because my father's cultivation was restricted, he couldn't cultivate here. After a long time, he completely became a mortal and died not long after, "Sha Chu 'er said calmly, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Liu Ming was a little surprised when he heard it, but when he recalled the woman's previous frequent questions about the 8 great families, he was a little stunned.
After comforting the woman with a few words, he deliberately changed the topic and asked about some things about the ruins.
Sha Chuer naturally told him everything she knew.
The ruins were not close to the oasis. The two walked all the way. Fortunately, they did not encounter a large sandstorm. They encountered a few sand jackals along the way, but they were all killed casually. It didn't take much time.
More than a day later, the two came to a hill-like sand dune. This was no longer a pure desert. There were all kinds of jagged rocks on the ground.
"After this sand dune, we are almost at the location of the ruins." Sha Chuer said with a sigh of relief when she saw this sand dune.
Liu Ming nodded, showing a solemn expression.
At this time, he had discovered that the closer he was to this so-called ruins, the heavier the suppression of spiritual power in the Odd Desert. In the oasis where the Sand Clan lived, he could still maintain the strength of the Condensation Period intermediate stage. After arriving here, he was only at the early stage.
Not only that, his Divine Thought was also suppressed. He could only stay a few ten meters away from his body.
With such a powerful enchantment, it seems that this is the residence of the Southern Wilderness Puppet Emperor.
"When we get here, there will be no more sandstorms and sand beasts, but we have to be more careful. There are many puppets wandering around the ruins. They will attack anyone who wants to enter the ruins." Sha Chuer quickened her pace and took the lead to walk toward the sand dune.
After Liu Ming nodded, he followed closely.
With the physical strength of the two, it didn't take long for them to climb over the sand dune. The scene that appeared in front of them made Liu Ming shocked.
"This is the ruins you are talking about … It is indeed the place where the Metaphysic Realm powerhouse lived in the past!"
In front of him, there was a huge ruin covering an area of nearly ten thousand acres. Looking around, the ruins were everywhere. Under the reflection of the yellow sky, it looked extremely eye-catching.
The mottled ancient city walls were full of traces of collapse left by the ancient times. Glassy broken green bricks, broken tiles made of purple jade, broken white jade pillars, these old things could be seen everywhere.
It could be seen how magnificent and luxurious these buildings were in the past.
