Chapter 680: Death Desert
The sand city in front of you covers a wide area, and there are many houses inside, although it is in the desert with a harsh environment, but this city looks very prosperous.
"I didn't expect the outside to be desolate, and the inside was actually like this," Wang Ke couldn't help but sigh.
Once inside the city gates, the air is fresh, and a meandering moat flows with clear water, surrounded by tall willow trees, which grow amazingly, lushly, and full of life.
Many ordinary people walked on the streets, smiling, looking peaceful, as if they were living in a paradise, although Wang Ke had seen many desert cities, but none of them had ever looked like this.
"It seems that this place is indeed very strange, can you sense where the monk is" Tianqiong was also shocked by the qi in front of him, and after being a little surprised, he turned his head and said to Wang Ke.
"This sand city is shrouded in prohibition, and the divine consciousness is suppressed in it, let's hang out and take a look first" Wang Ke scattered his divine sense, but found that in the city, the divine consciousness was suppressed by a mysterious forbidden force, and it could only extend out for a few zhang.
"Well, let's see what's in here first," Tianqiong nodded.
Next, Wang Ke and Tianqiong walked around in Shacheng, one of them was handsome and extraordinary, the other was slim, with a beautiful face, and they were dressed strangely, which attracted the attention of many people.
Because it is a city of sand, most of the men in the city have a white cloth wrapped around their heads, and their bodies are also wrapped around scarves, and most of their styles are mainly white.
Most of the women in the city are covered with faces, and many of them only show a pair of eyes, which is a bit peculiar.
Wang Ke and Tianqiong were wandering around the sand city. While starting to inquire about the news. However, there is no useful information to be found from the ordinary population of these sand cities. When asked if this was the Northern Heaven Continent, no one could answer.
In the end, Wang Ke and Tianqiong determined that if they wanted to find out if this was the Northern Heaven Continent, they had to go to find the monks for questioning, and from the ordinary population, they knew that the monks in Shacheng lived in the northernmost area.
At this moment, Wang Ke had some understanding of the pattern of Shacheng, and it didn't take much time to go to the north of Shacheng with Tianqiong, and the wide streets were full of people. But the closer you get to the north, the fewer people seem to become.
Wang Ke knew that the people in Shacheng regarded the monks as heroes, and these heroes lived in the north, and ordinary people would not come to disturb the monks' rest.
"The front is where the monks live" Wang Ke looked up and saw that the northern area of Sand City was in front of him, which seemed to be a little different from the other areas.
At this moment, more than a dozen figures in front of him rushed quickly, judging from the speed of these people, they were definitely not ordinary people. There are faint aura fluctuations on his body, and he is a monk.
The leader was a stout middle-aged man with a white cloth on his head. The muscles on the middle-aged man's body bulged, and a stone-like face exuded a fierce aura.
The people who followed behind all exuded a burst of killing aura, and Wang Ke felt as if these people had gone through countless battles, but they looked like soldiers on the battlefield.
Under the leadership of the middle-aged man in front, this group of people came quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they had passed by Wang Ke and the others, and they didn't notice the appearance of the two at all.
Watching this group of people gradually move away, Wang Ke's eyes showed a look of doubt, and along the way, the ordinary people in the middle of the street saw these monks appear, and they gave way one after another, and let out bursts of cheers from their mouths.
"Something seems to have happened!" Wang Ke muttered.
"Forget it, let's find someone to ask first" Shaking his head, Wang Ke continued to go deep into the northern part of Shacheng with Tianqiong, there were obviously a lot fewer people in the north, and he didn't see a living person after walking for a stick of incense.
Suddenly, in the corner in front of him, a monk with a long figure walked slowly, this person had a white cloth wrapped around his head, twenty-five or sixteen with a pair of blue eyes, a high nose bridge, an angular face, and a strong aura fluctuation on his body.
"Hey, you're not mortals from Shacheng, why did you come here," the young man asked with a little surprise when he found Wang Ke and Tianqiong.
"Hehe, can't you come here if you're not from Shacheng, isn't there such a rule in Shacheng?" Wang Ke said with a smile.
"Not really, but the outsiders who can come to Sand City are all monks without exception, but there has never been a mortal like you, with the strength of mortals, it is impossible to cross this Desert of Death," the young monk shook his head and said.
"Hehe, who said we are not monks" Wang Ke smiled slightly, with a wave of his right hand, the figure of the Heavenly Soul Beast appeared beside him, and the fierce Heavenly Soul Beast exuded cold killing intent as soon as it appeared, and three pairs of eyes of different colors stared at the young man in front of him, surrounded by black gas, and the cold breath gave people a very dangerous aura.
The Heavenly Soul Beast itself had a strong coldness, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an evil demon, but beside Wang Ke, it was very honest.
Standing next to Wang Ke at this time, this was exuding his own aura, and he didn't make a move, but the young monk in front of him was stared at by the Heavenly Soul Beast, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"It turned out to be a foreign senior, and the junior Botan was rude just now" The young monk hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists at Wang Ke, looking respectful.
Botan only has a mid-stage cultivation of Jindan, and in the face of the terrifying aura of the Heavenly Soul Beast, he feels as if a mountain has been pressed on his body, knowing that the Heavenly Soul Beast in front of him is definitely more than the Jindan period monk's cunning, and being able to control such a spirit beast, Wang Ke and the two of them needless to say, it is definitely not a simple cunning.
"Botan, are you a native of Shacheng," Wang Ke said lightly.
"Back to the words of the seniors, the juniors are," Botan replied respectfully, as if taking Wang Ke's words as a holy decree, and bowed his head.
"Okay, I just have something to ask you, can you go to your mansion and talk about it," Wang Ke asked calmly.
"I can't ask for it, senior, please come with me" Bo Tan heard this, raised his head, and said with a happy face, and then led the way in front, taking Wang Ke and Tianqiong to the depths of the north, but the Heavenly Soul Beast was put away by Wang Ke.
After a stick of incense, the three of them came to the outside of a large mansion, in front of them were two vermilion lacquer gates, four sturdy middle-aged people stood motionless at the door, saw Botan, the four of them hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Welcome Lord Botan."
"Hmm," Botan replied faintly.
"These are the mortals of Shacheng, who are dedicated to guarding the homes of monks like us, and this is my mansion," Botan explained back to Tianqiong and Wang Ke, and respectfully welcomed the two inside.
"Two of you, please wait here, I'll go and invite the head of the family to come, if the two seniors want to find out any news, it will definitely be better to ask the head of the house directly" Botan bowed and quickly retreated.
Wang Ke had already gotten some news from Botan's mouth just now, but Botan didn't know if this was the Beitian Continent, because he had never left Shacheng.
And from his mouth, he learned that the place where Sand City is located is called the Death Desert, the area is unknown, and there are terrifying sand beasts living in the desert, and it is very dangerous to enter the desert.
And the most shocking thing is that there is no aura in this Death Desert, although Wang Ke has long sensed this, he didn't care too much, and learned from Botan's mouth that the monks in the Death Desert must hunt sand beasts if they want to cultivate, and each sand beast has a sand core in its body.
The sand core is a thing like a spirit stone, only it contains spiritual energy, and it is very pure, such a thing can help the cultivator cultivate.
The monks in the sand city often go to the desert to hunt the sand beasts, and these sand beasts that have been taken away from the sand core are distributed to the mortals of the sand city, and the meat of the sand beasts is the food of the mortals of the sand city, of course, the mortals of the sand city will also find ways to hunt the weak sand beasts, but the mortals have limited harvest, and most of them still rely on the sand beasts hunted by the monks as supplies, which is also the reason why the mortals of the sand city respect the monks.
Without aura, Wang Ke is not worried, although the teleportation consumes a lot of spirit stones, but there are still many in his hands, and there are a lot of spirit pills, there is no shortage at all, the key is that he and Tianqiong can't use these things at present.
If the ban on Tianqiong's body is not lifted, it will be impossible to continue cultivating at all, and the injuries on Wang Ke's body are also extremely serious, if he can't heal the injuries, it is impossible to absorb the aura to cultivate.
Now the first thing is to figure out where he is, and the other thing is to treat his injuries and lift the ban on Tianqiong.
The two of them waited in the side hall for a while, and soon after, three breaths appeared outside the side hall, and Wang Ke's divine sense could already sense it.
Among them, there are two breaths that are very powerful, and they have definitely reached the realm of distraction, and one is the familiar Botan.
Turning his gaze to the door, he saw three people walking in, first of all a shorter old man, with a thick white cloth wrapped around his head, a scepter in his hand, gray eyebrows, and a wrinkled face, looking old.
The other distraction monk next to him was also an old man, but this old man's waist was straight, and his muscles were bulging, if it weren't for the wrinkles on his face and his gray beard, he might be more like a middle-aged man.
When Wang Ke looked at the two of them, he suddenly felt two powerful divine senses descending on him, and Wang Ke quietly released his body, and lightly bounced the divine consciousness of the two old men away.
Although he was seriously injured, Wang Ke's divine sense strength was a genuine distraction, much stronger than the two monks in front of him.
"Let the two distinguished guests wait for a long time, in the lower Asuka, add as the patriarch of the clan, next to this is the clan brother Alongka, ask the two Taoist friends with their surnames" Asuka is the shorter old man, kind eyebrows, while walking to the opposite side with another old man and sitting down, Botan is honestly standing aside.
"In Xia Wang Ke, this is my double monk Tianqiong," Wang Ke introduced calmly.
"It turned out to be Wang Daoyou and Tianqiong Daoyou, since the two of them were able to pass through the Death Desert and come to this sand city, they must not be ordinary monks, but according to my observation, Wang Daoyou seems to be seriously injured, and the situation of Tianqiong Daoyou doesn't seem to be very good" Asuka turned his eyes on Wang Ke and the others, and asked with a puzzled face.
