After yellow sand, more and more yellow sand, the unbearable trek finally reached its end.
Tian Chang saw the oasis at a glance.
Lush and swaying green grass grew around a mirror-like pool of water, dancing in the wind.
There were no trees in sight, but the grass was knee-high.
It was clear and bright, not like a sea of sand, but like a water village — if the yellow sand outside was ignored.
The pool of water was a circle, like a mirror reflecting the sky.
The green grass outside the pool of water made a full circle, wrapping the pool in the middle.
Outside the green grass, there was a circle of slowly flowing quicksand, revolving around the pool of water.
Outside this circle of quicksand, there was another circle of quicksand, also surrounding the pool of water, but the direction of the rotation was opposite.
There were a total of nine circles of quicksand that rotated repeatedly.
Each circle of quicksand was about three zhang wide.
Because it was continuously expanding around the pool of water, the outermost circle of quicksand occupied a very wide area.
The Tian family stopped outside the circle of quicksand.
"We're already in position, why don't we just go in?" Tian Yong was somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not act on his own.
"Half of a hundred li is ninety." Tian Chang looked at the pool of water and said, "This Nine Whirlpools Quicksand looks complicated."
"How are we going to get there? What danger is there? "Liu Si asked," That person … what did he say? "
"I know as much as you." Tian Chang shook his head, "He did not say anything to me alone."
Liu Si's face could only be considered average, but her figure was not bad. Tian Yong's eyes kept drifting towards her.
Hearing Tian Chang say this, she was somewhat anxious, "Then what should we do?"
"Why are you panicking? He has never been here, how can he know everything? " Tian Yong sneered, he could not bear to see these people, on one hand, fear and disgust, on the other hand, they relied on Tian Anping for everything, "Without Tian Anping, isn't my Tian family still the most prestigious family in the Great Marsh?"
Liu family was one of the Tian family's vassal families. Liu Si's family and Tian Chang's family had some in-laws, she could be considered Tian Chang's cousin. Tian Yong and Tian Chang's grandfather's generation were cousins. When it came to their generation, they belonged to the branch family. The competition between them was also very fierce.
"He only calculated that there would be a sea of sand here. The means he prepared for us are all to deal with the dangers that might appear in the sea of sand." Tian Chang explained, and then said, "If there is any danger here, we will know after testing it out."
He looked at Tian Yong. "Ah Yong, didn't your grandfather just buy you a winged puppet? Just in time to explore the path with us. "
"Why do you want to use my puppet to scout the way?" Tian Yong did not hide his dissatisfaction and challenged Tian Chang's authority almost every chance he got.
"Are we going to let our clansmen risk their lives to explore the path?" Tian Chang said sternly, "I'm the leader of this trip. It's my job to allocate the resources of the team reasonably. If you have any objections, you can go back and raise them with the elders. "
Tian Yong knew that Tian Chang was taking revenge on him for showing his dissatisfaction along the way.
His Winged Puppet had been bought by his grandfather at a high price. It was a life-saving item. If he lost it here, who would compensate him?
Even if he reported it to the clan, firstly, Tian Chang would definitely not speak up for him. Secondly, even if the clan was willing to compensate him, who knew how long it would take.
He hated it in his heart, but Tian Chang's orders were reasonable, and he could not find fault with them.
He gritted his teeth and took out the puppet seal from the storage box and threw it casually.
Although it was called a seal, it was actually a square black object. Its size had been carefully trimmed by the Mohist craftsmen, and it was just enough to occupy a space in the storage box.
The black square object began to expand in the air. First, it extended a pair of wings, then a hand, then a head and feet.
When it finished evolving, it was already as tall as a normal person. From its appearance, it looked like a warrior with wings on its back and a black helmet and black armor. Where the eyes were, there were two shiny black crystals embedded.
This was a military-type puppet that the Mohist Sect had just introduced to the market a few years ago. It was called the "Ink Warrior". It was divided into three grades: wingless, two-winged, and four-winged. Its price was as high as usual, but its combat strength was considerable, and it was easy to control. It was very popular.
"Forward!"
At Tian Chang's command, the ink warrior spread its wings and flew straight towards the oasis.
…
The process of catching up with the Tian Clan's team was uneventful.
With this group of people leading the way, Jiang Wang walked with ease. The only thing he needed to worry about was whether he would be discovered by the Tian Clan.
When the Tian Clan's team stopped, he also stopped far away.
In order to avoid being exposed, he dug another sand pit and buried himself. He wrapped the Red Makeup Mirror with a vine snake and hid inside the mirror. He observed through the mirror's vision.
During this trip to the Seven Stars Tower's mystic realm, he felt that the Red Makeup Mirror was more and more useful. When he returned, he had to think of a way to expand his vision after confirming that it was safe.
Through the Red Makeup Mirror, he saw the Tian Clan's people discussing for a while. Then, a two-winged Ink Warrior soared into the sky.
With a flap of its wings, it crossed the quicksand.
Then …
There was no "then".
The two-winged Ink Warrior disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Nine Swirls Quicksand was still flowing. The Ink Warrior that he bought at a high price had disappeared without a trace.
"Where's my winged puppet?" Tian Yong's eyes were red.
This puppet's official name was "Ink Warrior", but they were usually used to calling it a winged puppet.
Tian Yong originally thought that with the Ink Warrior's sturdiness and speed, even if there was any danger, it would be able to retreat in time. At most, it would be slightly damaged and could be repaired by spending some money.
Who knew that it would disappear without a trace.
Those were all sparkling Dao Yuan Stones.
"Can you still control it?" Tian Chang asked calmly.
"Come back! Come back! "Tian Yong shouted at the Nine Swirls Quicksand. His expression was very ugly. "I can still vaguely sense it, but I can't control it."
"If you can still sense it, it means that the Ink Warrior hasn't been attacked. Or rather, even if it was attacked, it wouldn't be very strong because it hasn't been destroyed." Tian Chang analyzed. "It seems that the Nine Swirls Quicksand has formed a natural maze."
"And this maze doesn't confuse one's sense of direction because the Ink Warrior doesn't have any sense of direction. It will only move forward in a fixed direction. It won't be affected by illusions." He was very clear and quickly concluded. "It might be something like reversing space."
It had to be said that Tian Chang being appointed as the leader of this group was very reasonable. He appeared very rational and his thoughts were very clear.
"Just tell me what to do!" Tian Yong was worried about his expensive puppet and was very impatient.
Tian Chang looked at him silently. Tian Chang looked at him until he unnaturally avoided his gaze. Tian Chang then said, "If you are in a hurry, or if you have any good ideas, you can go find your puppet yourself. I won't stop you. "
These words were f * cking unreasonable.
Didn't you tell me to send the winged puppet to scout the way? Now that something has happened, you want me to solve it myself?
Tian Yong wanted to fall out with him and really charge in himself. But he wasn't stupid — — it was fine to be angry, but if he really charged in, wouldn't that be another scout for Tian Chang? Also, to be angry with someone else and risk himself, no matter how he looked at it, he looked stupid.
His face was ashen and he didn't say a word. It was only in front of Tian Chang that he gave in.
Tian Yong wasn't from a vassal family and his connections in the Tian Family weren't any less than his.
Tian Chang gave a slight warning and stopped while he was ahead. First, he would plant a seed. In the future, he would slowly subdue it.
"Ram Lu." He turned around and asked the Daoist robed man who had been silent in the group. "You specialize in formations, what have you seen?"
