A sudden change sped up the pace of his departure.
The floating luck in his sea of consciousness suddenly changed. This time, it was not a change of color. Instead, it was splitting apart like a real cloud!
What did this mean?
Lou Xiaoyi could not understand! But it was definitely not a good sign. What good thing was expressed through splitting apart?
Could it be that the luck was hinting that this small group would fall apart because of the unequal distribution of benefits?
He decided to leave!
They had just completed one round of insect repelling, and the distribution of benefits was still fair. They still had twelve hours of rest before the next round.
Lou Xiaoyi still maintained his kind attitude, and gave everyone water and food. But now, five people had started to accept his kindness, and only two still refused.
He was very clear that those who accepted his kindness might not have truly accepted him, and those who rejected his kindness might not have malicious intentions. Perhaps they were just aloof and did not want to accept benefits from others?
The seven of them were very far apart from each other. This was also a cultivator's habit of self-protection. When Lou Xiaoyi sent the third cultivator, the old cultivator suddenly spoke. Lou Xiaoyi knew him. He was the one who had accepted his water from the beginning.
"Birds of a feather flock together. This is a wise saying!
The best way to protect yourself is to stay in a group of people who are similar to you in terms of strength, and not blindly climb up the ranks!
This array's repelling effect is barely satisfactory. Everyone thinks that using an array to repel insects is the only way in the Gobi Desert. But what they don't know is that there is actually another method that is more effective than the array, and that is the cultivator's blood with spiritual power! "
After saying this, the old cultivator closed his mouth. Lou Xiaoyi did not ask any more questions and left.
What did this mean? Did this mean that before the end of this summer's insect hunting, Lou Xiaoyi's blood was used to attract the last batch of white sand worms?
If this was true, then what role did the tall and short cultivators play in this?
This was destined to be a question without an answer, because it was impossible for him to try to change people's hearts in the end. Maybe there was, maybe there wasn't. Until the end, there would be no result.
Arriving in front of the leading cultivator, he silently put down the clear water. For some unknown reason, this cultivator, who had always been a man of few words, had opened his mouth today.
"We've met by chance, and we've been together for more than ten days. We split the red thread worm, and you got the white sand worm. Do you have any resentment?
You don't have to deny it. Everyone has dissatisfaction. However, some people will say it out loud, while others will hide it in their hearts, waiting for another day!
You don't say it out loud, but you continue to send us food and water every day. This kind of forbearance is very scary. This is not good. Next time when you pretend to be a coward, remember to be more natural. You have to show your greed and not act like a saint!
We all feel that we owe you, but we're not willing to compensate you with Red Thread Worms. So, we gathered a Spirit Beast Pouch for you. Don't carry that big porcelain bottle anymore, it's too ugly! "
Lou Xiaoyi slowly left everyone's line of sight. In the eyes of these experienced old men, he felt that he was truly inexperienced. He had completely lost the basis for their judgment!
It seemed like everyone had good intentions? It seemed like everyone had bad intentions? Until the very last moment, he would not know how the plot of the story would develop.
His curiosity gave him an impulse to stay and see what was going on. Were the two Taoists, one tall and one thin, giving him a chance or pushing him into a pit? Was the old cultivator exaggerating and driving a wedge between him and the others, or was it true? Did the leading cultivator's words expose his pretense and give him a sweet date at the same time?
He did not understand, but it did not mean that he did not know what to do!
You play your game, and I'll do mine. This was Lou Xiaoyi's response. Although he could no longer remember what he did in his previous life, the instinct to do the opposite still dominated him.
Lou Xiaoyi found the back of a small hill. This was a position he had specially chosen to isolate himself from the others. At least, they would not be able to see him. If he ran back from here, he would return to Pu City!
The two Sand Camels were also tied here. He took down the sand shovel from above and quickly dug a shallow pit. He still had more than ten hours, so he could make it in time.
He tidied up his equipment again and hung the newly obtained Spiritual Beast Pouch on one of the Sand Camels. Although he really wanted to obtain such an item, if it was given to him by someone else, especially someone he did not know the details of, how would he dare to use it?
He removed the large porcelain bottle from his back and poured out the ordinary White Sandworms that he had picked up over the past ten days. Then, he placed the porcelain bottle at the bottom of the pit. After thinking for a while, he decided to go all out and poured all ten bottles of Tuff Thread Incense into the pit!
Then, he hung the bottle caps with a rope and waited in silence.
This was the first time he had poured out so many bottles of Tuff Thread Incense. His plan was to take one bottle and leave. As for the scheming between the cultivators behind him, they could do whatever they wanted. The old cultivator was right about one thing: a wolf cub should not play with a pack of mature leopards. Sooner or later, it would be broken.
Originally, he thought that it would take at least two hours for the White Sandworms to gather. However, to his surprise, as the White Sandworms in this area had been tormented by the Insect Repelling Formation by the cultivators, when the strong smell of the Tuff Thread Incense spread out, it became a rare tonic for the exhausted White Sandworms. The White Sandworms from all directions began to gather here in a frenzy. This would not have happened in other core areas, but with the combination of the Poison Stream and the Tuff Thread Incense, it happened just like that!
In the beginning, the White Sandworms were the majority. Later, the Red Sandworms became the majority. Their stronger bodies squeezed the White Sandworms out of the bottle, and they dominated the bottom of the bottle!
Gradually, the entire bottle was filled with Red Sandworms. Lou Xiaoyi stopped counting after counting more than a thousand of them. Now, he was hesitating. When should he put the bottle cap down? Would it be able to cover them?
While he was hesitating, he raised his head and saw the clouds in the distance. They were piling up strangely, just like … Lou Xiaoyi immediately focused his attention on his sea of consciousness. To his surprise, he found that the ball of floating luck had already stood up like a wall!
His heart skipped a beat. He completely understood what was going on. Without hesitation, he put the bottle cap down and covered the thousands of Red Sandworms in the bottle!
Knowing that there was no time to waste, he did not care about the White Sandworms crawling on the outside of the bottle. He took out a blanket and covered the entire bottle with it!
Even though he did it carefully, he still felt more than ten stabs of pain. Most of them were from the stingers of the White Sandworms, but a few of them were from the Red Sandworms!
His body was gradually beginning to swell, and he didn't have time to tie the porcelain bottle up. Just like that, he hugged the porcelain bottle and the blanket. He activated the Tornado Escape Armor's Third Speed and dashed towards the clouds that were beginning to clear up.
At this moment, he could no longer care about the two Sand Camels. He guessed that these things had the ability to survive even in a sandstorm.
