Chapter 405 Abandoned
The endless sand sea is desolate enough, but it is still far from the death sand sea.
There is no green or any life in the death sand sea.
The three of them walked along and entered the sea of dead sand for some distance, but they did not see any living creatures.
The high mountains in the sea of death sand have basically been flattened by the strong wind. Occasionally, I saw a few hills, which were very weathered. I don't know when they will disappear completely.
Sand dunes are constantly moving. After a strong wind, the original sand dunes disappear and new sand dunes appear elsewhere.
In this environment, there is almost no iconic terrain that can be used as a reference.
The three of them need to use pathfinding spells from time to time to ensure that they do not deviate from the original direction.
I don't know what kind of force it is affected by, but it is very difficult to cast a pathfinding spell, and it is easy to fail.
This is the case even for a perfect foundation-building monk like Meng Zhang.
The three of them stumbled forward, not very fast.
After flying a long distance, the three of them took advantage of the break in the strong wind to find a leeward sand dune to rest.
Without saying any more nonsense, they just took out the spiritual stones and began to meditate and adjust their breathing to restore the true energy in their bodies.
After taking enough rest, the three of them left and moved on.
Although Jin Qiaoer had heard a lot about the Death Sand Sea from his master, he talked about it clearly and logically, but when he actually got there, he realized that he was just talking on paper.
Meng Zhang and Jueying obtained a lot of information from Zhenren Luoye, but when they actually entered the Death Sand Sea, they found that the situation was much worse than they imagined.
At this time, Jueying showed her super ability to adapt and survive in harsh environments.
When faced with many hurdles, Jueying was the first to come up with solutions.
Both Meng Zhang and Jin Qiaoer admired Jueying very much and were fortunate to have her along with them.
On the road, the three of them encountered wandering sand monsters many times.
If the number of sand monsters is not large and their strength is not strong, the three of them can easily eliminate them. However, if they encounter a large group of sand monsters, they should avoid them temporarily and try to avoid fighting.
There were too many sand monsters in the Death Sand Sea, and they could not be exterminated. In order to save their energy, the three of them actively avoided many unnecessary battles.
Only when it is really unavoidable will a fight be fought.
Just walking around like this, fighting from time to time, it took the three of them almost half a month to arrive near their destination.
Luyubo was originally a huge lake, so it got its name because the water is as green as jade.
But since the formation of the Death Sand Sea, this huge lake has completely dried up, and not even a drop of water can be seen.
The lake water completely disappeared, revealing a dry lake bottom and a high river bed.
This is one of the few obvious terrains in the Death Sand Sea, and it is regarded as an important reference location by the monks traveling to and from the Death Sand Sea. The place name Green Jade Pond has also been retained.
There used to be many small lakes and tributaries around Luyubo, but they have naturally disappeared long ago.
When they arrived at this place, Jin Qiaoer pointed to the northwest of Lvyu Po and said: "There are many caves there, and the seeds of the sand monster's nest were born there."
"It is said that every time a sand monster seed is born, spiritual marrow is consumed. Master, she is very distressed and says that those sand monsters are wasting natural resources."
Hearing this, Meng Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Miss Qiao'er, since your master can't stand these things, why doesn't he stop it?"
Jin Qiaoer shook his head and said: "No other Jindan Master dares to enter the Death Sand Sea. Master, she often goes in and out of the Death Sand Sea, but she cannot take action easily."
"Master didn't tell me the specific situation. I just know these things. It seems to involve the agreement between the True Lord Yuanshen."
Hearing that it was related to True Lord Yuanshen, Meng Zhang stopped asking any more questions.
For him now, the level of True Lord Yuanshen is too high, and he is not qualified to interfere in other people's affairs.
"Because from time to time monks in the Foundation Stage came to snatch the spiritual marrow, so in the past few years, the sand monsters migrated to the west."
"I don't know exactly where they settled, I just know a general direction."
Jin Qiaoer said a little embarrassed. Apparently, before setting off, she slightly exaggerated her information for the sake of traveling with her.
Everyone was already here, so Meng Zhang didn't say much. Jueying directly said the next move.
"I'll go to the original place first to see if the sand monsters have left any traces."
What Jueying said made sense, so everyone followed her instructions and searched in the northwest direction.
In order to ensure the efficiency of the search and ensure that there were no omissions, the three of them separated themselves from each other and moved forward together.
In the sea of death sand, Meng Zhang always felt that there was a vague force that enveloped the entire sea of death sand.
This power brought huge pressure to him and made him a little distracted. His innate magical power, the Dharma Eye, was greatly affected here, and he could not see too far.
After flying a short distance, Meng Zhang was the first to gain something.
On the ground ahead, there were many large and small holes, which went directly deep into the ground.
There are more cave entrances, which have long been buried by the strong wind and sand that are constantly blowing.
Meng Zhang, who was very familiar with the habits of sand monsters, knew when he saw the scene in front of him that this was a sand monster's lair, and it was a lair that had been abandoned by the sand monster.
When sand monsters abandon their original nests and migrate, they will take away the most important nest cores and spiritual beads. Basically, you will not find many useful things in abandoned sand monster nests.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Meng Zhang used the earth escape technique, sneaked into the ground, and came to the abandoned sand monster's lair.
Many of the passages in and out have collapsed, and the originally magnificent lair has been basically scrapped.
Meng Zhang searched underground and found no useful clues. Except for a few damaged robes, a pile of scrapped magical weapons, and the occasional corpse, he found nothing else.
However, Meng Zhang was not in a hurry because he already had a clue.
Although he cannot directly use the Dayan Divine Calculation to deduce the whereabouts of the spiritual marrow, as long as there are no third-level sand monsters among the sand monsters that once nested here, he can use the Dayan Divine Calculation to calculate based on the remaining traces here.
Deduced, deduced the whereabouts of these sand monsters.
According to Jin Qiaoer, the sand monsters in the nearby nest are all guards. Their duty is to protect the new nest seeds from being spawned.
