"Both of you, stay close to me."
Chen Xiaobei said. "We're about to enter the Black Desert. Even though it's daytime, we can't rule out the possibility of Yin Qi harming people!"
Luo Puti nodded and walked to Chen Xiaobei's side. Along the way, Luo Puti had been obedient to Chen Xiaobei's every word.
Zhuo Qunfeng, on the other hand, was puzzled. "What Yin Qi harming people?"
Chen Xiaobei briefly explained to Zhuo Qunfeng about the epic-level sandstorm that buried the 36 countries.
Zhuo Qunfeng had done his own research on this so he believed what Chen Xiaobei said.
"Mr. Chen, do you have a way to ward off Yin Qi?" Zhuo Qunfeng asked nervously.
"I have an item that can ward off evil spirits. Normal evil spirits won't dare to come near me!" Chen Xiaobei said.
Zhuo Qunfeng was already beside Chen Xiaobei, not daring to stray too far away.
There was a Cleansing Bodhi in the Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch on Chen Xiaobei's chest.
Although this Bodhi Seed was not a Pure Yang Spiritual Item, it had been imbued with the power of Buddhism over the years. It already possessed the ability to ward off evil spirits.
Other than that, Chen Xiaobei had just obtained a Buddhist instrument from Penglai Faction called the Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate!
According to Yin Wuqiu, the Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate was inscribed with the Great Heart Cleansing Mantra. Legend had it that many enlightened monks treated it like a treasure. Every time they chanted the mantra, it would be infused with Buddhist power to ward off evil spirits!
More importantly, Yin Wuqiu had said that this instrument was related to the Jingjue Ancient Faction in the Black Desert of the West Region!
With the Cleansing Bodhi and the Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate in hand, and the fact that it was daytime, Chen Xiaobei could move forward without any worries.
After closing the distance between Zhuo Qunfeng and Luo Puti, Chen Xiaobei took the lead and picked up speed.
The three of them were back to the speed they had when they first entered the desert. They headed straight for the heart of the Black Desert.
There was no danger along the way. The Desert Army Ants and Crimson Crowned Snakes did not appear. The horrifying sandstorm that Zhuo Qunfeng's grandfather had written about did not appear either.
The only problem was the Yin Qi!
It was noon and the sun was high up in the sky. However, the moment Zhuo Qunfeng and Luo Puti were two meters away from Chen Xiaobei, they could feel the bone-chilling cold.
Only those who were within two meters of Chen would be immune to the effects of the cold.
Without a doubt, the thing that caused this chill was the Undead Yin Qi that Chen was talking about.
"We're here!"
After running for almost two hours, Chen Xiaobei finally came to a stop.
"We've arrived? Where are we now? I didn't see anything … "Zhuo Qunfeng was confused.
"Of course, the ruins of the ancient kingdom!" Chen said.
"Xiaobei, are you sure? There's nothing but sand everywhere. How could there be a ruin? "Luo Puti was puzzled.
"It's under my feet!"
There are at least one hundred thousand evil spirits living under the sand that we are standing on! I'm sure that one of the 36 countries buried in the sandstorm is here! "
"What!? A hundred thousand demons!? That's … "Zhuo Qunfeng gulped.
Luo Puti frowned and said worriedly, "There are so many evil spirits … And they are buried under the yellow sand. Can we really go in?"
"Of course."
I can find the entrance to the ruin. But, the two of you must remember to stay within three steps of me! "
"Alright! We'll remember that … "Luo Puti and Zhuo Qunfeng nodded.
"But, everywhere is the same in this vast desert. How are you going to find the entrance? You can't just dig three feet into the ground, right? "Zhuo Qunfeng asked.
"I have my own plan!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
He blinked and activated his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes. The sand around him turned translucent.
Now that he had confirmed the location of the ruin, he just needed to find the area where the sand was the weakest. That would be the entrance.
"It's here!"
Soon, Chen Xiaobei found his target.
It was not far from where the three of them were standing. From the outside, it looked no different from the rest of the place.
But, through his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, he could see that the sand was only two meters thick. The bottom was hollow!
Bam!
Chen Xiaobei unleashed a True Kang.
108,700 combat power was unleashed.
The True Kang was like a cannonball, hitting the weakest part of the sand.
"Rumble …"
In the next moment, the ground trembled, and the yellow sand that was struck immediately sank into the hollow space like a funnel!
"Follow me! Let's go in quickly! The hole might be filled with sand!"
Chen Xiaobei said, and jumped into the hollow with Luo Puti and Zhuo Qunfeng.
Following the sand, the three of them landed in the space below.
At this moment, the surrounding scenery had changed.
They were in an ancient hall, and the place that Chen Xiaobei had pierced through was the roof of the hall.
Inside the hall, there were many ancient, exotic stone statues. There were at least hundreds of dried skeletons all around.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a temple, and these stone statues are the gods that this country worships! When the sandstorm came, a large number of people would come here, hoping to pray for the gods' protection! "Chen Xiaobei said.
"Right! That must be it! "Luo Puti's eyes widened, looking around in shock.
Zhuo Qunfeng, on the other hand, was overjoyed and excited. "Oh my god! I can't believe that Mr. Chen really found the ruin first! "
"That's great! Where there are ruins, there will be water! We're saved! All of us are saved! Thank you, Mr. Chen! Thank you so much! "
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "I don't make promises that I'm not sure about! I will definitely fulfill my promise! "
"Mr. Chen! You're so cool! "Zhuo Qunfeng said excitedly." From now on, I will do whatever you say! I will listen to you! "
Chen shrugged his shoulders and did not comment on it.
Usually, those who listened to him wouldn't have bad luck.
Zhuo Qunfeng said eagerly, "Mr. Chen, please wait for a moment. I'll go shoot the signal flare!"
Because the sand on the roof of the hall was not thick, it did not block the hole.
Swoosh!
Zhuo Qunfeng aimed at the hole and shot the flare into the sky.
This was the latest military flare. Even during the day, it shone brightly, ensuring that his companions could see it.
After settling this matter, the three of them began to search for a water source.
"We found the ruin! But the whole country is buried in the desert. We can't even get out of this hall. How are we supposed to find water? "Luo Puti asked.
