Volume 11 Chapter 44 Searching for an anthill in the vast desert Encountering a mirage on the west coast The origin of the mirage
"Lao Jun, there is still a second apprentice who has not yet completed the training task arranged for his disciples this time, so it is better to wait for my second apprentice to complete the task, and there is no obstacle in my heart, how about we talk about it again?" Xiao Peng sat opposite Taishang Laojun, Xiao Peng opened his mouth and smiled.
"That's right, hehe, Daoyou cares about his disciples!" Taishang Laojun said with a smile.
Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile and said: "Laojun, as one of the Dao Ancestors, you have countless disciples, and your disciples and grandchildren are all over the Three Realms. ”
"Hahahaha...... You, you......" Taishang Laojun raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Peng, laughing.
This guy is purely innocent and moaning, acting in his name, if he says that he wants to accept apprentices, I am afraid that his dojo will be crowded by the creatures of the Three Realms who come to worship him.
Xiao Peng smiled, said no more, turned around with Taishang Laojun, raised his hand and drew a circle in the void, and the Xuanguang Mirror appeared in front of the two.
But I saw that the picture was full of yellow sand, and the Supreme Treasure held the dragon descending stick in his hand, and the four princesses and thrushes rode through the clouds, searching everywhere for the nest of the marching ant clan.
This desert is huge, nearly 10,000 miles wide from west to east, and more than 4,000 miles from south to north, in other words, the area of this desert is more than 10 million square kilometers, which is larger than the land area of China in later generations.
In an area larger than the land area of China, if you want to find a nest of an ethnic group, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Little Liu, we've been looking for more than a month, not to mention the desert marching ants, we haven't even found a creature that looks like an ant, when will we have to find it?" Thrush complained to the Supreme Treasure with a bitter face.
Although the fire spirit qi in this desert was relatively strong, which was of great benefit to her cultivation, there was nothing here, only wandering around in the desert with yellow sand for more than a month, which also made her deeply tired.
Although they flew at full speed, it would not be long before they could fly to every corner of the desert, but they were here to find the nest of marching ants, and how could they find it if they swept quickly?
It is decided by the Supreme Treasure to use the stupid method of carpet search from east to west and then from west to east, but the stupid method is often the most practical method, although this method takes a long time.
The Supreme Treasure and the Four Thrush Princesses rode through the clouds, flying high off the ground at an unfast speed, their divine senses carefully scanning every inch of land they passed.
The main reason is that this desert marching ant is good at walking under the sand, and many times it is not exposed to the ground, which brings great trouble to the search work of the Supreme Treasure.
"Senior sister, I can't help it! The monsters we got rid of before are all relatively easy to find places, usually only a few hundred miles away, just find some monsters and find them as soon as you ask. ”
"But the territory of this marching ant is thousands of miles wide, and there is not even a person to inquire about, what do you want me to do? Or if you tell me how to find them, I will definitely listen to you." Supreme Treasure smiled helplessly at the thrush.
"I ...... Hmph......" Thrush froze when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Master is really, and he doesn't indicate where the nest of the marching ant is, hmph." ”
The fourth princess said lightly: "Maybe this search for the nest of marching ants is also a test given to us by the teacher?"
Hearing this, the Supreme Treasure nodded and agreed: "It's very possible, so don't complain, let's look for it! It's going to the West Sea again, let's rest there for a while!"
That's right, this desert is connected to the West Sea, and every time they search for this side, they have to rest on the seaside, after all, facing the same scenery every day, even the gods will be visually fatigued.
"Look, there's a city there. As he approached the shore, Thrush suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.
The Supreme Treasure and the Four Princesses looked up, their eyes showed a hint of surprise, and they glanced at each other, and a look of vigilance appeared on their faces at the same time.
"Senior sister, be careful, how can there be a city in such a place? If there were, it would have been eaten up by the marching ant clan a long time ago, but you see that in that town, people come and go, there must be fraud. ”
Listening to the words of the Supreme Treasure, the thrush also reacted, and the excited mood calmed down, and the blade on his back opened with a bang.
But I saw a few miles away, not far from the coast of the West Sea, a gorgeous city stands on the spot, the pavilions and pavilions in the city, carved beams and painted buildings, everything, from the windows of some pavilions, you can also see the ladies dressed gorgeously in the activities, the posture is beautiful and moving.
The three of them stopped in the air a few days away from the city, and the Supreme Treasure stepped forward and shouted, "Who is the divine here? ”
After the Supreme Treasure was drunk, the city really disappeared, and it looked like a huge mist, and then the mist seemed to be absorbed by something, and gradually shrank downward.
The three Supreme Treasures watched this scene quietly, waiting for the owner of the city to appear, the city disappeared, and the west coast that was blocked by the city was revealed.
"Ang"
A not too high-pitched dragon roar sounded, and an earthy yellow figure appeared on the shore, and the Supreme Treasure looked at it fixedly, but it was a strange dragon.
The dragon's head had forked horns like a deer, a red mane from the neck to the back, and earthy yellow scales, but the scales from the waist back were backwards, and the feet had three claws.
The aura on the dragon's body was heavy, and with a slight sense, there was actually a cultivation in the late stage of the Golden Immortal, but what relieved a few people was that there was no bloody breath on his body, which meant that this dragon had never eaten people.
The dragon flew three feet away in front of several people, and turned into a handsome young man wearing an earthy yellow robe, a shawl and red hair casually draped, revealing a lazy atmosphere.
The man looked at the three of them, and when he saw the Supreme Treasure, his expression was slightly dark, because he sensed that the cultivation of the Supreme Treasure was even deeper than him, and when he saw the thrush, his eyes lit up, and he smashed his mouth without knowing the meaning.
But when she saw the fourth princess, she was stunned, stunned, and looked at her fixedly, not speaking for a long time.
At first, the fourth princess was also secretly looking at him, but she found that his eyes were looking directly at herself, and when she didn't move for a while, her face sank slightly.
"Hmph. ”
The fourth princess snorted coldly, waking up the man, the red-haired man coughed in embarrassment, hugged his fist at the Supreme Treasure and said, "In Xia Aotong, I don't know where a few people came from, what are you doing here?"
Thrush didn't know why, but there was a faint sense of fear in his heart when he saw the appearance of this man's body, that is, the fear of encountering natural enemies.
In the past ten years of training, there are not ten but eight of the prey natural enemy demon kings she has killed, and the fear of natural enemies has long disappeared.
At this time, even in the face of natural enemies such as golden eagles and eagles, she was not afraid at all, and dared to raise her hand to fight, and even she once self-hypnotized, constantly telling herself that I am a phoenix, not a thrush, and this hypnosis is also very effective.
When she faced the last opponent, a realm higher than her cultivation, the Mighty Eagle King of the True Immortal Peak Realm, she could even face it with the attitude of the emperor among the birds.
But in the face of this dragon, she once again experienced the long-lost breath suppression, especially when the red-haired man who had been transformed into a dragon smashed his mouth just now, her legs involuntarily weakened, and she almost didn't stand firm.
Seeing a ghost, when did the dragon become the natural enemy of birds?
Not to mention that the thrush looked at Ao Tong with fear in that depression and incomprehension, the Supreme Treasure saw that the other party was polite and courteous, and also hugged his fists and saluted back, and said: "Under the Supreme Treasure, these two are my fellow senior sisters, Brother Ao's surname is Ao, I don't know what to call with the Dragon King of the Four Seas?"
"Dragon King of the Four Seas...... Ao Tong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's my son and nephew! ”
"Oh?" Supreme Treasure and the Fourth Princess glanced at each other in surprise, the uncle of the Dragon King of the Four Seas? This guy can't be bragging, right? Although the Dragon King of the Four Seas has a low cultivation and weak strength, he is a five-clawed divine dragon with eight scriptures.
Although this Jiaolong has the cultivation of the late stage of the Golden Immortal, in terms of cultivation, it is indeed more than enough to be the uncle of the Dragon King of the Four Seas, but to say that he is really the uncle of the Dragon King of the Four Seas, it is also a little unreliable!
Ao Tong frowned when he saw the disbelief on the faces of several people, and said angrily: "I'm a mirage, understand!"
The Supreme Treasure and the Four Princesses suddenly realized, only the thrush was still at a loss.
The mirage dragon was born to the legendary ancient dragon god Tai Ao and a pheasant goddess, and it is said that the pheasant goddess only needs to lay an egg, which will somehow attract thunderclouds in the sky.
After the lightning strikes the egg, it pushes the egg into the earth, and turns into a coiled dragon in the ground, and after two or three hundred years, the soil around the egg turns into stone and begins to rise into the sky, and the rock collapses after the moonlight, and the mirage dragon is born.
As for the eggs that were struck by lightning but did not go into the ground, they could only grow into pheasants, and many pheasants hatched from eggs that did not become mirages, and later a mutated creature with nine heads.
But the nine-headed pheasant didn't learn well, and mixed with a fox spirit with a bad heart all day long, and then almost died by the fox spirit, but fortunately the dragon god Taiao rescued him, which saved a small life, and since then he has been grounded in the overseas Dragon God Palace, and thousands of years have passed.
Because the formation conditions of mirages are very harsh, there are very few mirages in this world, and it is difficult to appear for thousands of years.
This mirage's innate supernatural power is to create illusions, such as "mirage", this kind of means, is only the lowest level of supernatural powers, once his illusion is fully activated, it can make people fall into the illusion without knowing it, unable to extricate themselves.
Because his illusions are usually arranged for the weakness of the minds of sentient beings, or what you want most, or what you fear the most, or what you yearn for the most, and so on.
In short, once he falls into the illusion of a mirage, it is possible to get out of his illusion unless he dissolves it himself, or his mind cultivation is higher than his.
However, it is not easy to surpass the mirage in terms of mental cultivation, because the mental cultivation of the mirage dragon is usually one level higher than the mana cultivation, in other words, his mana cultivation is the late stage of the Golden Immortal, then his mental cultivation is the peak of the Golden Immortal.
And normal people, usually have a slightly lower mental cultivation than mana cultivation, so even a master who has just entered Daluo will be stunned when he encounters a mirage.
The Supreme Treasure knew the origin of the mirage because of his talent as a six-eared macaque, while the fourth princess knew his origin, but it was related to the father of the mirage, the dragon god Tai Ao.
