Ice Mountain Canyon.
Ice Mountain Canyon. The river roared and surged, and the mist was thick.
The agreed time and place, the same old place, the cave where he handed the Immeasurable Fruit to Zhao Xiongge for the first time.
When Niu Youdao arrived, Zhao Xiongge and Yuan Gang were already waiting in the cave.
After flying in and landing beside the two of them, Niu Youdao looked Yuan Gang up and down, looked at his newly grown hair, and asked, "Are you alright?"
Yuan Gang pulled off the bandages on his hands. No matter how fast his injuries healed, there was still a process. The bandages were a disguise.
He showed his palms to him, and his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. "I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine." Niu Youdao looked at Zhao Xiongge again and found that he was a lot cleaner, but there did not seem to be any change. The only change was probably that he washed more frequently, but overall, he was still sloppy. The wine gourd was still with him. He could not help but ask, "Uncle-Master Zhao, didn't you say that you would let go of the matter after it's over? Why are you still like this? Clean up, don't hang a wine gourd all day. "
Zhao Xiongge said, "I'm curious, why are you always scolding me? Am I the uncle-master, or are you the uncle-master?"
Niu Youdao chuckled. "We're family, don't treat me like an outsider."
Zhao Xiongge snorted coldly and sighed. "After so many years, I'm already used to it. I feel uncomfortable wearing new clothes. This wine, after drinking for so long, can't be stopped in a short time. There's no need to deliberately, just let nature take its course. "
Niu Youdao had good intentions. Since he said so, he did not say anything more. This was his freedom.
Swoosh! Yuan Gang suddenly pulled out the big saber on his back and stretched it in front of Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao glanced at it. "What?"
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye, this saber is not suitable for me."
Niu Youdao said, "It's fine if you don't have a knife. I don't believe that such a big Devil Cult can't even find a knife."
Yuan Gang: "I still feel that the Three Roars Saber is easy to use. It's too smooth and there's no resistance. And the tiger roar that comes from the Three Roars Saber, especially when it comes from my hand, feels like I'm roaring. I feel like it can increase my spirit when I attack, and it feels like I'm one with the saber when I use it."
Niu Youdao narrowed his eyes. "Why are you telling me this? What do you mean?"
Yuan Gang was straightforward. "If possible, help me get the Three Howling Saber back."
Niu Youdao: "Where's the knife?"
Yuan Gang said, "It was left in the Peerless Sacred Ground. It should be with Lu Wushuang."
Niu Youdao rolled his eyes. "Are you crazy? Do you think I'm omnipotent? How am I supposed to get it from Lu Wushuang? Am I supposed to trade my life for it? Get lost! " He pushed Yuan Gang to the side and asked Zhao Xiongge, "Did Wu Chang do anything strange to the Devil Sect?"
Zhao Xiongge: "Nothing unusual yet."
Niu Youdao: "I don't know what they're up to in the dark. Be careful, contact me if there's anything unusual."
Zhao Xiongge: "Always be careful, don't be careless."
Niu Youdao took out a mask from his sleeve and threw it to Yuan Gang. "Put it on and follow me."
Yuan Gang took it and looked at it. It was red, probably specially prepared for him. Then, he did as he was told.
After he put on the mask, Niu Youdao felt that something was wrong. After turning around, he still felt awkward, so he turned around again and raised his hand to signal him to lower his head.
Yuan Gang lowered his head and Niu Youdao pressed his hand on his head. With a spell, his hair flew off and he instantly became bald.
Yuan Gang touched his head, his eyes filled with doubt.
"I reckon even the Devil Cult would recognize that hairstyle of yours. Also, look at that damned skin of yours. You might as well go bald to avoid suspicion." Niu Youdao casually explained. He turned around and waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.
Yuan Gang followed behind and asked, "Where are we going?"
Niu Youdao: "You'll know when we get there."
Zhao Xiongge smiled at the way the two of them interacted. Everything that had happened because of his previous rash behavior seemed to have drifted away between the two of them.
In the ravine of the plateau, a flying beast soared into the sky, carrying Niu Youdao, Yun Ji, and Yuan Gang quickly away.
…
As they approached the Endless Desert, Niu Youdao took out a map. On it was a folded map of the Endless Desert. He called out to Yun Ji, who was riding the flying beast, "Let's go around and go to this position. There should be fewer people going to the Endless Desert from this position. We can try to avoid being discovered in the desert."
He rarely did things unprepared. The fact that he could take out a map meant that he had a plan.
Yun Ji reached out for the map. Niu Youdao pointed on the map again, indicating the area to go around. Yun Ji nodded, indicating that she understood.
Yuan Gang finally understood where they were going and asked, "To the Endless Desert?"
Niu Youdao: "Yes."
Yuan Gang: "To find the Scorpion King?" He was just suspicious.
Unexpectedly, he guessed correctly. Niu Youdao: "Didn't you say that you can control the Scorpion King?"
Yuan Gang asked, "I can control it, but what can the three of us do?"
Niu Youdao: "Did you forget about Lv Wushuang? I'll tell you one more thing. The Demonic Book recorded that in addition to the human world, Heaven Capital Secret Realm, Saint Realm, and Butterfly Illusion Realm, Shang Song also created a fifth realm. "
"Fifth realm?" Yun Ji turned around and asked in unison with Yuan Gang. Yun Ji added, "What is the Demonic Book?"
Niu Youdao: "Yes, there is a fifth realm." He looked at Yun Ji and smiled, "The Demonic Book is Li Ge's personal diary. In order to save the monkey, he had to give it to Wu Chang."
Regarding this matter, Yuan Gang was ashamed.
The other party actually told him this secret. Yun Ji's eyes flickered and she said in surprise, "Is this boundless desert related to the fifth realm?"
Niu Youdao: "The entrance to the fifth realm is hidden in this desert. I thought that there were only two or three people in this world who knew this secret. Last time I heard the monkey talk about Lv Wushuang, I suspected that Lv Wushuang also knew this secret. Because Lv Wushuang went straight to the Scorpion King, I suspect that the Scorpion King is the guide to the fifth realm recorded in the Demonic Book. I have this suspicion because I really can't think of any other guide in this desert besides the sand scorpion. "
"It doesn't matter whether Lv Wushuang knows or not, at least Wu Chang knows now. Wu Chang should still be trying to find a way to enter. We can't compete with him for what he is looking for, at least we can't win against him now. If we dare to show up, we will be courting death. "
Yun Ji: "So you want to bring the monkey to try and see if the Scorpion King can lead us into the fifth realm?"
Niu Youdao: "Yes. If my judgment is right and the Scorpion King can really lead us into the fifth realm, then let's go and see what's going on in the fifth realm before others. Knowing the situation, we can prepare for a rainy day so that we won't be caught off guard. "
Yuan Gang, who was listening silently, understood what he meant and suddenly said, "If this is the case, there is no need to take such a troublesome detour."
Niu Youdao: "You will make too much noise when you summon the Scorpion King. Choosing a good location can avoid being discovered by the cultivators coming and going from the Boundless Pavilion."
Yuan Gang: "Yes, it won't be so big."
Niu Youdao turned back, "Can you accurately find the location of the Scorpion King in such a big desert?"
Yuan Gang: "I have a way."
Niu Youdao knew that he was not a person who talked nonsense. Since he said so, he immediately turned back and said to Yun Ji: "Listen to him."
The group then went straight to the boundless desert. After arriving at the desert area, they found the foot of a mountain at the edge of the desert to settle down.
After that, Yun Ji rode a bird and landed on the top of the mountain. She was responsible for keeping watch and guarding against anyone approaching.
Yuan Gang stepped on the sand and walked up the sand dune step by step. Facing the vast undulating desert, he opened his arms and suddenly roared "Ah …".
Niu Youdao landed on the side in a flash and observed.
Suddenly, there were holes in the orderly sand in front of them. Hundreds of sand scorpions drilled out from far and near, whizzing towards them.
Yuan Gang also stopped roaring and waited.
When a group of sand scorpions came close and crawled in front of him, Yuan Gang "Ho … Ho … Ho …" for a while.
Niu Youdao stood with his hands behind his back and watched Yuan Gang communicate with a group of monsters. He didn't pay much attention to the monsters. He mainly stared at Yuan Gang with a somewhat inexplicable expression. This brother who had been with him for two lifetimes was more and more surprising to him.
"Ho!" As Yuan Gang let out a final roar, a group of sand scorpions quickly turned around and scattered in all directions. They ran quickly in the desert as if they were running on flat ground. Soon, they smoothly drilled into the sand again. They were indeed creatures born here.
Yuan Gang looked back and said, "A small number of sand scorpions will not be discovered this way."
Niu Youdao nodded calmly and also understood. "You want these sand scorpions to pass the message and find the Scorpion King?"
Yuan Gang: "Yes."
Niu Youdao: "It seems that you are getting more and more proficient in controlling these monsters."
Yuan Gang: "Practice makes perfect. After more contact, I more or less learned how to communicate with them."
Niu Youdao said lightly: "How long do we have to wait?"
Yuan Gang: "I don't know, but I should be able to find it."
Niu You said, "Then let's wait."
After waiting for a long time, Yuan Gang took off the canteen on his waist, pulled out the cork, and handed it to Niu Youdao. His movements were very natural. It seemed that he had become used to doing this around Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao seemed to be used to it. He received the canteen, took a few sips, and handed it back. Then he slowly put his hands behind his back and looked forward in a fan shape.
Yuan Gang also took a few big gulps, plugged the cork, and hung the canteen back on his waist.
He also carried a bag on his back, which was full of food and drinks that he had purchased on the way in case of emergencies.
Niu Youdao, on the other hand, only had a sword hanging on his waist. His sleeves were clean, and he looked relaxed and at ease.
On the mountain, Yun Ji was vigilantly looking around, and the people in the desert at the foot of the mountain were waiting.
They waited for a long time. It was not until the sky was full of stars that they vaguely sensed a dull buzzing sound coming from the bottom of the desert.
Yun Ji, on the top of the mountain, seemed to have sensed it too. She swooped down on a bird and hovered above the two people below.
Splash! A huge pit appeared on the sand, and the sand poured down. A ferocious beast the size of a hill appeared under the starry sky. It was the Scorpion King. Waving its huge pincers, it crawled to the sand dune, crouched down, and spat out a fishy smell from its mouth.
Facing it at close range, Niu Youdao was calm and looked back at Yuan Gang.
"Ha …" Yuan Gang shouted, and the Scorpion King crouched down on the sand.
The bird in the air was frightened and didn't dare to fly lower.
Yun Ji, on the other hand, flashed down and landed behind the two. She looked at the legendary monster up close, and her eyes were full of surprise.
Niu Youdao: "Ask it if it knows that this is the entrance to another world."
