C26 Attacked

Han Mo, sand dune region.

The bonfire dispersed the cold, and continued to roast the wolf meat, releasing a strong smell of meat. Amongst the three of them, the group that stayed in Han Mo the longest, they were also a group of five people, and although these people did not seem to talk much, including Wu Li, they did not communicate much, but that Du Yang, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He was extremely talkative, sitting beside him were two beautiful women, and two of the five people in the Divine Dream Castle were women.

Yuan Chiying did not squint at all, he only looked at the roasted wolf meat.'s barbecuing technique was something that he refined when he was young, and because he liked barbeque, Yuan Chiying would often ask Yuan Lou to accompany him.

Seeing that the fire was almost going to break out, Yuan Chiying removed the two skewers of roast meat from the bonfire and passed one to Qing Ling who was beside him, and said softly: "Elder Sister Qing Ling, eat some!"

Qing Ling did not reject and accepted the skewers of meat from Yuan Chiying. Her red lips slightly parted as she quietly ate, and upon seeing this, Yuan Chiying smiled slightly as he thought to himself: "Seems like I really ate too much in the afternoon."

With Qing Ling's current appearance, she did not even have a trace of the intrepid feeling she had when she was alone with Yuan Chiying at noon. Yuan Chiying did not care at all as he opened his mouth and devoured the skewers of roasted wolf meat in his hands with gusto.

Si Ma was also a Body Refiner, compared to the current Yuan Chiying, he was probably not weak at all, and his appetite was also astonishing. As Si Ma ate the meat, he did not forget to take out the wine that he treasured, and started drinking with Yuan Chiying.

"Brother Yuan, it doesn't matter if you're drunk. Tonight, all of you will sleep in my tent." Sima Chang said with the help of the alcohol.

Yuan Chiying, who had drank some wine, said with a slightly reddened face: "Then, I'll do as you wish."

"Haha!" That's more like it! " Si Ma drank a mouthful of wine and said with a clear voice.

Yuan Chiying looked at Qing Ling, who was at the side, and shook the wine pot in his hand. "Elder Sister Qing Ling, do you want a drink?"

"No need, your wine is not enough for me to fill the gaps between my teeth." Qing Ling's melodious voice was transmitted through the bamboo hat.

Yuan Chiying did not force him, as he raised his head and gulped down all the remaining good wine in the wine pot.

"Won't the dunes around here be attacked by nocturnal creatures?" Yuan Chiying asked with a slightly flushed face.

"Hehe!" "Maybe under normal circumstances, but tonight we have buried the 'Qi Dispersing Talisman' around the sand dune." Sima said with a smile.

The effect of this' Qi Dispersing Symbol 'was to disrupt the smell left behind by a person, and from there on, mislead some creatures that were particularly sensitive to smell, and ultimately, avoid danger. The most important reason why Sima Group was able to make it all the way here was due to the contribution of this' Qi Dispersing Symbol '.

"So that's how it is!" Yuan Chiying nodded in understanding.

After talking to Sima, they found out that he came from a place called the 'White Sun Temple'. This White Sun Temple was a place called the 'White Sun Temple', which was located within the borders of the Empire.

In Han Mo, the phenomenon of Extreme Night lasted for twenty-four hours, which was equivalent to twice as long as daytime. Furthermore, the temperature was extremely low, but because everyone was a cultivator, the temperature was not too high yet.

The sky gradually brightened as the ground became hazy, as if it was covered in a silver gray muslin. At this time, the sky in the east gradually turned white, and the ground gradually brightened up.

Yuan Chiying and the others were gathered in the sand dune, the bonfire had long been extinguished, a group of people was about to reach the boundary point, not only were there strange objects like Li Huo, but they were also very close to where Yuan Chiying was looking for. All of them carried the 'Qi Dispersing Talisman', and Sima Xian was not stingy about giving the two 'Qi Dispersing Talismans' to Yuan Chiying and Qing Ling.

Although the effect of this talisman was able to avoid some creatures, it was still relatively useless against creatures with stronger perception. Even the talisman itself had no effect on such creatures.

The group of seventeen left the sand dune one after another. Wu Li and Du Yang walked at the front, while Yuan Chiying and Qing Ling stood shoulder to shoulder at the back of the group. After walking for over a thousand miles, the group suddenly stopped.

A gigantic elephant shaped desert appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was a deep gray color and was completely different from the sand that was under Yuan Chiying's feet, and this desert was filled with dense fog that blocked everyone's line of sight.

"This Li Huo is hiding in the desert. Everyone be careful." Si Ma said with a serious face.

Yuan Chiying turned his head to the green spirit beside him and said: "Elder Sister Qing Ling, do not leave my side later."

The green spirit nodded her head, the group did not delay any further, they went in one by one, because of the density of the mist, the visibility was too low, the group walked forward slowly, and before they knew it, Yuan Chiying and Qing Ling had already arrived beside Si Ma Si, leading the way still were Du Yang and Wu Li.

"Ah!"

A strange sound spread out in all directions, and reverberated within the desert. Yuan Chiying raised his five senses to their maximum, his mind extremely tense, but he was still unable to pinpoint the exact location of the sound. Everyone's footsteps also stopped right after.

"What is that sound?" A lady behind Du Yang said with a trembling voice.

Du Yang did not reply, he frowned his eyebrows and secretly circulated the Spirit Qi in his body. Suddenly, the Spirit Qi in the air started to increase in speed at a visible rate, a meat ball that was a few hundred inches thick pierced through the dense fog, coming straight at him. Du Yang's reaction was extremely fast, his feet touched the ground, and his figure quickly moved, easily dodging the attack.

The woman who had been talking just now was not so lucky. After being stabbed by the needle, the three people who did not dodge in time were instantly killed on the spot. The spike pierced through the three corpses, quickly retracting them and disappearing into the thick fog.

"Ahhh!"

Yuan Chiying grabbed onto Qing Ling's fair hand and retreated a distance away. Amongst the crowd, including Qing Ling, no one could tell what kind of attack was being made by her.

The female's shriek reverberated throughout the desert, causing it to sound somewhat terrifying.

"My tongue is dry!" Wu Li threw a palm onto the woman's face, and immediately, the woman's screams stopped, as she covered her face and started to swallow.

"What should we do?" Sima asked Yuan Chiying.

In Sima's opinion, for Yuan Chiying and Yuan Chiying to be able to reach the sand dune without using the Qi Dispersing Talisman, that must have been something that ordinary people did not know of.

Yuan Chiying's gaze continued to size up his surroundings, his brain working at top speed, the Burning Blood Arts in his body revolving non-stop, he said to Sima, "We need to find the real body of this beast and kill it the next time it attacks, otherwise none of us will be able to survive."

Sima nodded and looked at everyone. Everyone's thoughts were surprisingly unanimous, and no one chose to retreat. Si Ma suddenly took out two Golden Light Pestors from the storage bag and grasped them in his hands. Du Yang held onto a Tricolor Mirror and placed it in front of his chest. Wu Li stood there expressionlessly with his hands empty.

Everyone took out their weapons one by one, and after waiting for around two minutes, they did not see the monster attack again. Then, Du Yang's face darkened, and said: "Let's go!"

The group of fourteen slowly walked forward. Strangely, even though they had walked for an entire hour without suffering any attacks, no one dared to relax their vigilance. On the contrary, the deeper they went, the higher their vigilance was.

Li.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the fog started to vibrate, many meat thorns started to attack from all directions, and with a rough look, there were actually five of them! Du Yang held onto the Tricolor Mirror, blocking one of the meat thorns attack, and with a bang, his body trembled slightly, and he almost dropped his hands.

The other spike was aimed at Wu Li, but what made people feel strange was that Wu Li's body suddenly turned illusory and ethereal, the spike went straight through without any harm, and the four cultivators following behind Wu Li used the same method to dodge one of the spikes.

Holding the Golden War Pestle in his hand, Sima Chang's reaction was extremely fast, as he directly smashed onto a meat thorn. Si Ma Xiao took half a step back and fiercely blocked the spike. The spike's speed was very fast, and upon seeing that the strike missed, it quickly retreated, not allowing Si Ma to attack any further.

Yuan Chiying slightly moved his feet, dodging the attack of the meat thorn, and then punched out, fiercely smashing onto the meat thorn's body, peng! The thorn was unharmed, but the hand that Yuan Chiying had used to punch was actually shaken to the point of being in pain. Qing Ling, who was at the side, reacted quickly, and with a flick of her jade finger, the Phoenix Flame immediately burned the thorn, causing flames to spread along the thorn.

"Hiss."

A series of miserable howls came from the ground and the sand in front of him wiggled. A three-foot-long figure appeared and spat out a green liquid from its mouth, extinguishing the phoenix flame on its burning tail.

Only now did everyone clearly see the creature's appearance. Its head was covered with green scales, and was exactly the same as the snake's head, but five thick meat spikes grew on its lower body, diverging apart to prop up the huge body of the snake. The meat spikes continuously swayed on the ground.

"This is?" Even with Yuan Chiying's experience, he was unable to recognize such a creature in such a short period of time.

"A mutated snake species unique to the Han Mo, 'Trichohynchus'. The venom of this kind of snake can directly decompose human flesh and even bones." Si Ma said with a grave expression.

Yuan Chiying nodded his head. One must know that the phoenix flame that Qing Ling was using was not an ordinary flame, but it was actually extinguished by the Trichohynchus's poisonous water.

Everyone was now standing in a row, facing the Trichohynchus. This Trichohynchus was no exception, perhaps because of Qing Ling's Phoenix flames from before, the Trichohynchus seemed to be a little fearful and did not attack again.
