The whole of Western Desert was a vast desert. And the oases were like stars in the sky, dotted among them.
Humans relied on the oases to survive here.
Western Desert, Sha Jing oasis.
As a high grade force, Huang tribe had hundreds of years of history here, occupying the essence resources at the center of the oasis.
Outside the oasis, there were some small scale forces that were attached to this Huang tribe.
Even further outside, at the periphery of Sha Jing oasis, there were mortal villages. These mortals lived hard lives, they had a large population and were controlled by Huang tribe and other Gu Master forces.
Among these villages, there was a Han village. At the periphery of Han village, there was a miniature natural grassland.
Although it was called a grassland, it was several times more desolate than northern plains. Yellow sand was everywhere here, red dagger grass was spaced apart, the blades were as sharp as swords, their roots piercing deep into the yellow sand, absorbing the meager water.
A group of children were bending their backs, holding sickles as they painstakingly cut the grass.
These children were not even ten years old, but they had to work to make up for the family's expenses. This was common among mortals.
The dagger grass had sharp edges, almost all the children wore leather gloves, only one was bare-handed.
This bare-handed child had a runny nose, holding a sickle in one hand and a dagger grass in the other, he skillfully cut off the leaves and placed them in a small basket on his back.
The afterglow of the setting sun was still scorching hot, causing the children to pant and sweat profusely.
Finally, as the twilight deepened, the sun sank below the horizon, leaving only a small part of it. The children stopped what they were doing.
"Let's go. It's night, the little ghost jackals are coming out to look for food. "The largest child spoke, he seemed to be the leader of the children.
"How much did you cut? Wow, so much! " So many! "As usual, they began to compare with each other.
"I ate my fill today, so I have plenty of energy, hehe."
"But you still didn't cut as much grass as Han Li."
"Hey, Han Li, you are so amazing. You can cut grass without gloves, and there are no wounds on your hands. How did you do it? "A little girl with a ponytail asked. A little girl with a ponytail asked.
Han Li laughed foolishly.
The children returned to the village together, excitedly chatting along the way. When they reached the village entrance, they dispersed and returned to their homes.
Han Li also returned home. He pushed open the tattered wooden door. He found that his parents were not back yet.
His father was a farmer who grew steel wool in the farmland west of the village. He had been plowing the fields these days, leaving early and returning late.
His mother, on the other hand, had a job that the villagers envied. Every day, he would enter the outer area of the oasis and do odd jobs for a small sized force's Gu Master.
Han Li stood next to a stone mortar and poured the dagger grass from the basket into it. Then, he picked up the wooden pestle and pounded the leaves.
He worked very hard. Before long, he was sweating profusely.
The blades of grass were pounded into a paste. He took out a gunny sack and poured a small portion of the rice husks into the mortar.
He stirred the mixture until it finally formed a paste of food.
He dug out the food and put it in a wooden basin.
Then, he carried the wooden basin to the side room.
There was a simple and crude beast pen in the side room, where three fat sand scorpions were kept.
These scorpions were as fat as pigs, and their claws posed no threat at all. Upon hearing Han Li's footsteps, the three fat scorpions quickly emerged from the shadows of the beast pen.
"Eat! I spent a lot of effort to get them. "Han Li turned the wooden basin upside down, and the paste inside fell on the ground.
The three fat sand scorpions huddled together and ate with big mouthfuls, letting out grunting sounds.
"Eat, eat, eat more, grow up quickly …" Han Li's small body leaned on the fence, looking at these sand scorpions as he muttered to himself.
These fat sand scorpions were not Gu, they were only ordinary insects.
But the scorpion meat was tender and tasty, and the profit from selling the meat was a huge sum to a mortal family.
To Han Li's family, these three fat sand scorpions were the most important assets. Thus, even if Han Li did not eat dinner, he still had to feed these three scorpions.
Gugugu …
At this time, Han Li's stomach suddenly growled in hunger.
Han Li jumped off the fence and rubbed his stomach, immediately returning to the house and starting to cook.
He had to cook for his parents every day.
The rice they ate was the most common sand rice in Western Desert. This rice had a terrible taste and was hard to swallow, but it was easy to grow and was a staple food for mortals.
Han Li busied himself beside the stove, not knowing that he was being observed for a long time.
Darkness descended. In the mass grave several li away from Han village, Fang Yuan quietly sat cross-legged like a statue.
The reason he chose this place was because it was a desolate place.
Fang Yuan arrived at dusk and activated a thousand investigative Gu, covering the entire Han village under his surveillance.
Gu Immortals had unlimited primeval essence, as long as they had enough Gu worms, they could do things hundreds or even thousands of times faster than mortals.
In the darkness, Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, thinking: "The age seems to match, it should be this lad."
While thinking, he activated the rank five luck inspection Gu.
Looking from afar, he saw a lump of luck cloud in the sky above Han village. The luck cloud was not big, it was grey-white in color, and was extremely thin.
This was the collective luck. These villagers had a sense of belonging, they thought of each other as a whole, thus their luck gathered together.
Fang Yuan looked at the bottom of the luck cloud.
Wisps of providence smoke rose from the bodies of the villagers. After reaching a height of five to six hundred feet in the air, they plunged into the providence cloud.
Amidst the smoke of providence, there was a particularly conspicuous providence.
This luck was like a huge rock, floating above Han Li's village, a hundred steps away from the ground. There were cracks on the surface of the rock, and a trace of luck smoke was emitted from the cracks, it was golden in color, and continued upwards, the top of the smoke also fused into the collective luck cloud.
"What kind of luck is this?" Fang Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder.
He did not obtain the luck path true inheritance, he did not know the meaning of the form of luck. It was also very ignorant.
He decided to call it monolith luck.
Han Li was the only person in Han Li's village. Seeing this, Fang Yuan was certain that this Han Li would become a rank seven Gu Immortal in the future. The person who had many fortuitous encounters!
He looked at the sky above his head, but could not see anything.
"It is a pity, after I became an immortal zombie, I cannot check my luck anymore, unless I get the rank six luck inspection Gu. I wonder how my luck is now? Is it still the black coffin luck? "Fang Yuan mumbled to himself, he had always been curious about luck.
However, just as he was about to take out connect luck Gu. Suddenly, a shout could be heard: "Little thief Linghu, do you think I, the great Plump Lady, can't find you by hiding here! I chased you for an entire eighty thousand li. Quickly return my Immortal Yuan stone! "
Fang Yuan was shocked, he quickly turned around, only to see a human figure formed from quicksand, shouting at him from not far away.
Fang Yuan's heart sank. He said in a low voice: "Plump Lady? You have the wrong person. I am not the person you are chasing. "
"Bullshit! Little thief Linghu, who doesn't know you are skilled in disguise? You think I can't recognize you just because you look like this! You've got guts to steal from this old lady. I will beat the shit out of you this time!! "
Not only was the human shaped quicksand shouting, at the same time, there was also an angry shout in the sky.
The voice was like thunder, resounding in the sky. The whole oasis was instantly alarmed, it was in chaos!
Fang Yuan frowned deeply. To think that he disguised himself as a normal person, concealing his zombie appearance. But unexpectedly, someone thought that he was a thief.
He stood up and looked up.
From the northeast direction, yellow sand filled the sky, intense winds blew, the sound of the wind was like the roar of a beast, roaring continuously.
The calm yellow sand on the ground was like a raging sea, creating huge waves.
The yellow sand waves crashed down layer by layer.
Fang Yuan took a deep look at the monolith luck, before moving forward to face it.
After a while, he saw the person in question.
This was an extremely plump female Gu Immortal, she had large shoulders and a round waist like a water vat, stepping on the yellow sand waves, she arrogantly looked down at Fang Yuan.
She stretched out her plump finger, shouting: "Little thief Linghu, you …"
Just as she spoke, Fang Yuan attacked!
"Heavenly corpse transformation!" Fang Yuan purposely shouted, removing his disguise Gu worm, revealing his immortal zombie appearance.
Immediately, a ten meter tall monster with a green face and sharp fangs, bloodshot eyes, eight arms and claws, and bulging muscles appeared in front of the female Gu Immortal, Plump Lady.
It was sinister and filled with killing intent.
Plump Lady was shocked, she spoke again: "You …"
Fang Yuan stepped on the ground, with a loud sound, the ground exploded, he shot towards Plump Lady like a cannonball.
Plump Lady saw Fang Yuan's ferocious attack, her heart shook, she quickly raised her hands.
Swish swish swish!
Three huge waves of sand rose into the sky, reaching a hundred meters.
The huge waves crashed towards him, Fang Yuan sneered, he increased his speed and crashed into them.
Bam bam bam!
In an instant, he destroyed the three waves of sand, appearing in front of Plump Lady.
Plump Lady's heart jumped, she finally realized that she had recognized the wrong person. But she had a fiery temper, Fang Yuan's ferocious appearance ignited her anger.
"I'll let you have a taste of my Plump Lady's killer move — Martial Sand Armor!" She roared, and two streams of yellow sand gushed out from her ears. The sand quickly gathered and enveloped her body.
In a few breaths of time, she turned into a sand giant that was not inferior to Fang Yuan, but she was still fat.
Fang Yuan charged forward, the sand giant roared and punched with both fists, it was fearless.
Bam bam!
With two loud sounds, the eight armed immortal zombie and the sand giant's fists collided.
The sand giant's fists exploded into yellow sand, scattering away. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan's fists were directly fractured.
Plump Lady took a step back, the scattered yellow sand gathered towards the sand giant's fists again. Fang Yuan, however, took a big step forward, his fractured fists were recovering rapidly, his remaining six monstrous hands attacked the sand giant.
Bam bam bam bam …
At once, the two fought intensely, yellow sand flew in the sky, the sounds of bones breaking could be heard.
