As for what happened in the Sand City, Jiang Cheng and the others did not know. They were moving forward very quickly. It had been two days, but they did not see a single person. However, this was normal. It would be strange if other people entered the Juelong Secret Territory.
They did not see anyone, but Jiang Cheng and the others had dealt with many ferocious beasts in the Red Rock Desert. These ferocious beasts were all Sand Wolves or Sand Foxes. Liu Qingcang and the others did not even need to do anything.
However, after walking for a while, the group gradually felt that something was wrong. Because after walking for half a day, not a single ferocious beast appeared. Could it be that this place was not barren? It was more like the Gobi Desert with some dead vegetation.
Everyone, look, why is there some flesh and blood here? Bai Yufan's eyes were sharp. He noticed the abnormality and hurriedly shouted.
Jiang Cheng also walked up. Sure enough, he saw a ground full of blood with a fishy smell. This should be the blood of a ferocious beast that had died not long ago.
Get out of the way, I will blast open the ground and take a look!
Hearing his words, everyone hurriedly retreated to the side. Jiang Cheng condensed spiritual power in his hands and blasted it in the direction of the minced meat. A huge explosion sounded and a huge pit was smashed out.
Everyone looked at the ground and saw a pitch-black hole in the pit. A group of white ants were crawling on the corpse of a ferocious beast.
What, what is this thing? This group of ants was eating the ferocious beast's corpse. It had already become bones, but they still did not let it go.
This is probably the desert's Spirit Devouring Ants! Xiao Yuanfeng suddenly exclaimed.
This kind of ant specialized in devouring the spiritual energy in the bodies of cultivators and ferocious beasts. It devoured everything. However, Kamen was not afraid of water or fire. It was like a cockroach that could not be killed.
Even if you killed them, it would attract more Spirit Devouring Ants.
Let's run. If we are targeted by these things, we will probably end up like the bones. Everyone was terrified and did not dare to stay here.
Jiang Cheng, Meng Wudao and the other experts were fine. The other martial ancestors heard from Xiao Yuanfeng that although the Spirit Devouring Ants were only at the beginning stage of the martial ancestor realm, there were many of them and they were endless. Provoking them was like provoking a hornet's nest.
Liu Qingcang and the others swallowed their saliva. They wanted to sneak away while these things were not paying attention.
But the moment they turned around, a large group of Spirit Devouring Ants came out of the hole.
Sizzle! The white Spirit Devouring Ants looked ferocious. Their huge mouthparts moved, making people's hair stand on end.
Brother Jiang, we seem to be surrounded! Meng Wudao's complexion was not good. Although he was not afraid of these things, if they killed these things, more Spirit Devouring Ants would appear, and that would be troublesome.
Run! As soon as Jiang Cheng gave the order, everyone rushed forward like thunder. Immediately, the entire desert was covered in dust.
Meng Wudao and Xiao Yuanfeng glanced at each other. They had not expected that they, as Martial Kings, would fear a group of ants. The anger in their hearts flared up as they quickly retreated.
But these Spirit Devouring Ants seemed to be able to smell the Spiritual Qi of flesh and blood. They had no intention of letting them go and continued to chase. Moreover, more ants kept crawling out of the ground. The entire desert was suddenly densely packed with white ants, which made people's expressions change.
Jiang Cheng and the others ran for half an hour. They did not know how far they were from Sand City, but they did not stop. As they ran toward their destination, they killed many Spirit Devouring Ants.
However, these things were still charging at him without any fear of death. Jiang Cheng had no choice but to use a martial technique. Streams of flames flowed along his hand and ignited with spiritual energy. The raging fire engulfed all the Devouring Spirits that were charging at him. This was not an ordinary flame. It was the Three True Flame that Jiang Cheng used to refine pills. It could burn essence, Qi, and spirit.
Seeing a lot of ants turn into ashes, the others also let out a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, before they had time to drink water, another large group of Spirit Devouring Ants rushed out of nowhere. They formed a group and their terrifying mouthparts shone with a bloodthirsty light.
Yan Wei was not paying attention and was stared at by this thing. Suddenly, his whole body felt light. He felt that he had a serious illness and lost a large amount of Spiritual Qi.
How many of these things were there? Liu Qingcang also learned from him and released a ball of fire. He wanted to guard himself tightly. He saw Yan Wei's fate and did not dare to let this thing touch him.
Damn it, it's so annoying! Xiao Yuanfeng cursed angrily, but then they were dumbfounded. A large group of Spirit Devouring Ants was originally white.
They burned a lot of them to death with the fire, but not only did the burnt black ones not die, they became even bigger. Wings grew out of their bodies. They flapped their wings and fearlessly rushed toward them.
This thing, it mutated? Guan Haiyue waved her weapon angrily and ran away with her butt between her legs.
Jiang Cheng did not have time to rest. There were really more and more ants. They seemed to have fallen into an ant nest. Moreover, these black ants obviously had the strength of a Three Star Martial Ancestor. They could not kill them anymore. It was better to escape!
Brother Jiang, I really can't run anymore! Bai Xiaotong said while gasping for breath.
Jiang Cheng turned around angrily, and the nine Slaughter Flying Daggers burst out with a loud bang. One after another, the dagger lights chopped down with unparalleled power. However, these things were like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Although they killed a lot of Spirit Devouring Ants, they could not kill all of them, and more and more of them appeared.
I can't waste time with them anymore. Jiang Cheng fiercely released a sea of fire to block the path of the Spirit Devouring Ants and roared.
You guys go first, I'll bring up the rear!
Guan Haiyue, Bai Yufan and the others used their weapons to kill a lot of them. The whole desert was filled with yellow sand as they ran. Looking from afar, the sky behind them was covered by a black mass of mutated ants. However, at this moment, Jiang Cheng used a sea of fire to block the path of all the ants. They heaved a sigh of relief and looked forward.
There seems to be a basin in front. Let's quickly find a place to hide! After running for a few hours, the desert finally changed. It was no longer endless yellow sand, but a Gobi Desert.
Jiang Cheng released a sea of fire to cut off the path of the Spirit Devouring Ants. He also ran down the slope with the others. However, just as they moved down the slope, the whole desert began to collapse.
What, flow? Liu Qingcang turned pale with fright. He was running at the very front, but at this moment, he directly slid down. He had no choice but to soar into the sky.
Everyone also soared into the sky. The quicksand continued to sink down. Following that, a huge cave impressively appeared in the middle of the yellow sand.
And the group of Spirit Devouring Ants that chased them here seemed to be afraid of the thing below the cave. They did not dare to continue chasing. After buzzing and flying a few rounds in the same place, they retreated and then disappeared without a trace.
A large amount of sand continued to sink down and roll towards an unknown place.
Jiang Cheng and the others looked at each other and saw the curiosity in each other's eyes. Now they could only soar into the sky.
Senior Meng, I feel that there is something below that actually made the Spirit Devouring Ants afraid. How about we go down and take a look?
Jiang Cheng indifferently said. Although they avoided the group of ants, it was not because they were afraid, but because there were too many of them. It was very annoying.
Alright, little brat Jiang, you are not afraid, why should we old guys be afraid?
Meng Wudao laughed heartily and directly flew towards the cave that appeared in the desert.
Jiang Cheng and the others also followed closely behind. Countless sand and dust in the cave sank down, and slowly a wide passage appeared.
This was actually an empty place. They knew where the sand and dust went, but they followed the passage and soon they saw the light again.
When they appeared, Jiang Cheng and the others came out from a stone well, which made them a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, everyone was startled. Looking at a magnificent city gate not far away, they could not help but reveal a happy expression. It turned out that they had already unknowingly arrived at the center of the Red Rock Desert.
They saw that there were a lot of cracks on the huge city wall, but there were two big words engraved in the middle: Sand City.
The sand city wall was more than ten meters high, and the huge city gate was also six meters high. However, the city gate had long been broken, and no one knew where it went. Only an empty city gate hole was left.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. They patted the sand off their bodies and walked towards the city wall.
As soon as they walked into the sand city, everyone's complexion changed. They clearly remembered that it was daytime outside, but it was night inside the sand city. Everywhere they passed was pitch-black, full of strangeness.
What the hell is this place, why did the sky suddenly turn dark! Guan Haiyue angrily cursed, feeling scared in her heart.
Bai Xiaotong closely followed behind Jiang Cheng, for fear of being left behind. Jiang Cheng glanced at the entire sand city. There was not a trace of life in the sand city, but instead it was filled with a gloomy and cold atmosphere.
Everyone slowly walked in the sand city, and only their footsteps could be heard in the sand city at night.
…
At this moment, in the tallest castle in the sand city, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. Her eyes had a hint of flirtatious charm, and it was impressively Wang Xiaoyu's face, but now there was not a trace of Wang Xiaoyu's aura.
Jiang Cheng? Kaka, you all just wait to become my prey! Wang Xiaoyu waved her hand, and a few black shadows suddenly appeared in front of her.
There were men and women in the black shadows, but there were no exceptions. They were all floating in the air, and were obviously a group of ghosts.
Didn't you want to seize the body of a new person? Now is your chance, but remember, that Jiang Cheng is mine! Wang Xiaoyu's cold voice was like a messenger from hell, and as soon as she finished speaking, the black shadows suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Cheng and the others decided to search the castle houses in the city. Since this was the sand city, it meant that the entrance to the next floor was here, and their goal was to find the entrance to the next floor.
Let's split up and form a small team! Jiang Cheng suggested, and Meng Wudao, Xiao Yuan, and Fengfeng didn't have any objections.
