t of the village these past few days, on patrol. He doesn't know that the tribe has already figured out how to store meat for a long time, and new ways of making food are both more delicious and last...Seeing the sandworms emerge, everyone quickly released their divine senses to see if there were any more. If there were too many sandworms, they would have no choice but to flee.

Luckily, there was only one sandworm, and it wasn't very large. At least for now, the creature hadn't escaped the entanglement of those red flowers. It grew weaker as it struggled.

At this time, Mo Shangchen stood beside Lianyi. The moment he discovered the sand worm, he chose to flee with Lianyi. At least he could benefit from the other's good fortune.

"Dodo, do you need me to help"

Ripples carry sound, asking questions.

"No, this sandworm is still young. I can handle it. It just got startled after being discovered."

Dodo confidently said.

"

Strike quickly and decisively, or you'll attract more sandworms.

"

"Yes!"

After accepting the request, Duo Duo immediately accelerated the speed at which she absorbed the sandworm's energy.

The sandworm struggled desperately, thrashing and rolling before finally burrowing into the sand, disappearing once more. Only then did the crowd let out a collective sigh of relief.

"We better leave here quickly. If we attract a swarm of sandworms, things will be really bad."

Mo Shangchen said solemnly.

"Let's go!"

The six of them regrouped and then quickly left the place where the sandworms had appeared.

Ripples contacts Doudou again:

"Duo Duo, is it finished"

"Master, I have taken care of this sandworm. However, I found some interesting things in its nest and need to investigate further."

Duo Duo responded very quickly.

"Don't leave me too far, this is an endless desert, danger lurks everywhere."

Ripple communication channel.

Before, when she instructed Duo Duo to investigate beneath the desert, it was always at night when they released the flying vessel. Duo Duo's main body would be by her side then, its roots penetrating into the desert to investigate. Now that Duo Duo's main body is away from her, she worries about the other party encountering danger.

"Don't worry, master. I'll be careful and catch up to you soon."

Duo Duo immediately said.

Ripples knew that DuoDuo had her own sense of propriety, so she didn't say anything more and continued on their journey.

Six people walked for four more hours and then stopped in front of an abandoned oasis.

"There was obviously a fight here, otherwise this place wouldn't be abandoned."

As evening fell, he looked at the trees that had already lost their moisture.

"As long as we can have a temporary place to rest, we'll take a break and continue our journey."

After taking out his compass and confirming the direction once more, Mo Shangchen said.

"Good."

They were supposed to be resting, but because of the sudden appearance of sand worms, they had to leave early. Now that they've relaxed, they want to take a break.

Her rippling eyes flashed a gray-blue light, her lips pursed slightly, but she said nothing, following the group into the abandoned oasis.

Everyone else was extremely cautious, walking all the way to the center of the oasis. There was still a puddle of water there, reduced to the size of two round tables, and the surrounding plants were half-dead, as if they could exhaust their lives and die at any moment, giving off a sense of decay.

"Don't scatter, everyone. We'll rest for two hours and then continue our journey."

Mos Shangchen immediately spoke.

Everyone nodded, their vigilance increased. They were deep in the heart of the endless desert now, and it would only become more dangerous as they went forward. They had to be on high alert.

It's a pity that sometimes things don't go as planned. Just as everyone was sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating, the sand beneath them started to churn and ripple. Everyone instinctively chanted protective incantations, releasing their shields, but this time, the shields didn't appear.

"What's going on"

Du Yan's face immediately changed.

Even in the evening, Li Xi's heart was filled with surprise. Only then did she realize that the spiritual energy within her body couldn't be mobilized.

"Why is this happening"

Mu Sheng also exclaimed.

In the next instant, numerous haggard and filthy people crawled out of the sand below. They were all dressed in rags, their faces contorted in savage expressions, revealing black teeth as they surged towards the ripples.

The ripples struck the opponent's face with a calm and decisive punch, quickly disarming the three who had attacked him.

Looking back, the other five didn't have her skill level, but they were all Yuan Ying cultivators after all. Their physical strength was undeniable. Though it was a bit of a struggle, they still managed to knock the savage beasts attacking them to the ground.

Mo Shangchen, because of the limitations of his cultivation path, was the last one to break free from the siege. Subsequently, the other five rushed to Lian Yi's side because the wild beasts she had knocked down couldn't get up. After the wild beasts they defeated howled in pain, they could still get up and continue to harass them.

"Eileen, who are these people"

At dusk, he pretended to be calm and asked.

"I don't know, this is the first time I've encountered something like this. It looks like a human, but its attacking stance resembles that of a beast."

Ripple spread his hands helplessly.

"Haha! You guys are cultivators too!"

Suddenly, a ragged man spoke, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

This person, at least, was still wearing pants. He was only shirtless, with skin as dark as ink, making it hard to look at.

"Excuse me, sir, what do you mean by that"

After some deliberation, Mo Shangchen still politely opened his mouth.

Just now, he wanted to probe with his divine sense to get a clear look at the other party, but his divine sense was like it was asleep, shrinking in the sea of consciousness. No matter how he summoned it, it wouldn't come out, so he had no choice but to speak up and ask.

“What else could it mean I'm a cultivator who strayed here by accident, and I don't know how long I've been here. This is no good place. Once you arrive, your spiritual power and divine sense are useless, and your vitality will rapidly deplete. If you don't replenish your energy constantly, you'll become the nourishment for this devilish oasis, and even your soul won't escape.”

The shirtless man spoke in a sinister tone, making the already uneasy faces of the several people even more grim.

"How to replenish energy."

Ye Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Hehehe! What do you think"

A shirtless man flashed a strange smile, instantly changing everyone's countenance.

"Perhaps we were too eager. You've just arrived, in a couple of days you'll be like us, then we can discuss the deal."

A bare-chested man said wickedly, and turned to escape into the underground.

Ripple twitched her wrist, and the Death Silk instantly coiled around the opponent's neck. Then, with the force of it, the person was pulled to Ripple's feet.

"I haven't let you go, why are you running"

A ripple's foot was already on the man's chest, heavy as a thousand pounds, making him gasp for air. He struggled like an overturned turtle for half an eternity, unable to free himself from the crushing weight.

"You... how can you use spiritual power"

The man gave up struggling, and said in surprise.

"Do I need to use spiritual energy to deal with you Physical strength is enough."

Ripple said bluntly.

When Mo Shangchen saw this, he was once again grateful that he had invited Eileen Daoist to accompany him. At a glance, the other party looked like a cultivator who specialized in physical training. Only someone with body cultivation could ignore the limitations of spiritual power, and even in a place where spirits were forbidden, they could carve out a path for themselves.

The shirtless man didn't believe in evil, and struggled a few more times. Not only did he fail to break free from the ripples' suppression, but the ripples began to intensify. The sound of cracking bones, "kacha kacha," echoed into everyone's ears.

"Ah!" also trying to persuade her father not to get involved, fearing that the wise Lord would go his own way even if it meant involving the deceased Empress.However, from another perspective, the Third Pr...
