I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Half a month later, Zhang Yuan arrived at the red dot shown on the treasure map.

At the same time, the ruins of an ancient city hidden deep in the heart of the sea of ​​sand appeared before his eyes.

finally reached!

Even though Zhang Yuan's strength and cultivation have reached a very high level now, he couldn't help but sigh when he recalled the hardship and difficulty of the journey in the desert over the past ten days.

When trekking in the endless desert, the most dangerous things are not bandits, ferocious beasts and weird things.

Because he has never encountered these things!
The real danger is the sandstorm that can appear in the sea of ​​sand at any time.

Many times, the sky is clear, but suddenly a sandstorm from afar comes with overwhelming force.

The sandstorms in the heart of the desert are extremely terrifying. Not only are the wind speeds very fast, but the countless sand and gravel they carry cover the sky and the sun. There is nowhere to hide.

If people and horses fell into such a sandstorm, they would definitely be blown into the sky.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan had anticipated the conditions of the desert environment before setting off, so he made preparations in advance.

He stored several large rocks and several thick stone slabs in the storage space.

As long as Zhang Yuan discovered the coming sandstorm through the Red-Eyed Crow, he would immediately take out rocks and slabs from the storage space.

Then, he built a small stone house as quickly as possible, which was simple but very sturdy.

Each of the large rocks he stored weighs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds. They are also killer weapons for attacking large targets and have no problem resisting sandstorms.

With such a temporary shelter that could be built quickly, Zhang Yuan hid inside with his yellow horse in his arms and was no longer afraid of the sandstorm.

The worst case scenario is that most of the stone house is buried by sand.

However, sometimes sandstorms would last for several days, which greatly delayed his journey.

Otherwise it would be impossible to reach the destination in half a month.

Zhang Yuan got off the horse, first fed the hard-working mount enough food and water, and then let it rest aside.

He himself walked around in the ruins.

The area of ​​this ancient city is very large, almost the same size as the Daqian Prefecture City. It is estimated that it should have been a royal city in ancient times.

However, most of the city has been destroyed and buried by wind and sand, and only a small part remains on the ground.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan did not spend too much time to get a general understanding of the situation of the ancient city.

What made him scratch his head was that the treasure spot on the treasure map was right here.

But the reality made Zhang Yuan at a loss as to how to start.

The treasure must be under the ruins, but the problem is that I can't find the entrance. I can't just dig around and hope for luck, right?
I really don’t know when we can find it.

However, Zhang Yuan also thought of Xiaxu. He had caught the golden-haired rat in the underground maze of Xiaxu.

This gave him an idea.

Sigh~
At this moment, the neighing of the yellow horse suddenly reached Zhang Yuan's ears.

His face suddenly changed.

Because the horse's cry was very tragic, as if it was attacked!

Due to the distance, Zhang Yuan immediately switched his perspective to the red-eyed crow cruising in the air.

As a result, he was shocked to find that there was a big hole on the ground where the yellow horse had originally stayed.

A huge "sandworm" drilled out from several feet high and bit the struggling yellow horse with its mouth full of sharp teeth!
The poor horse had no ability to resist, and in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed alive by the desert insect with a yellowish shell. Damn!
Zhang Yuan was furious.

He didn't expect that due to his negligence, his home was robbed by the monster and his mount that had accompanied him for thousands of miles was destroyed.

What a shame!
Clang!
Zhang Yuan suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards the sandworm like an arrow.

At the same time, he activated the three major parasites, the black giant ant, the golden grasshopper and the jade mantis, in succession.

Give yourself high-multiple strength, agility, and swordsmanship!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan approached the target.

At this time, the strange desert insect was swallowing the chewed yellow horse into its stomach in two or three bites.

Having successfully hunted, it began to quickly retreat into the burrow.

However, an extremely sharp blade light broke through the air and hit the shell of the monster insect's head and neck from a distance of more than ten steps.

Suddenly a ball of bright yellow flame exploded!

The body of this desert monster is five or six feet in diameter, and its entire body is covered with a thick ochre-colored shell, which shows at first glance that it has extremely strong defensive capabilities.

The sword light unleashed by Zhang Yuan was indestructible, and it only barely broke through this layer of defense with one strike.

Unable to go any deeper.

But his whole body rushed towards him as the sword light approached, and the Taowu sword in his hand exuded a red bloody aura, and it heavily slashed into the crack that the sword light had just opened.

puff!
The huge head of the desert monster flew into the sky, and dark yellow liquid spurted out from the wound.

Zhang Yuan succeeded in beheading the insect with one blow, and immediately dodged and flew back, preventing the spurting liquid from the strange insect from falling on him.

It turned out that his caution was completely correct, because when the slurry fell on the sand, it actually emitted wisps of gray smoke and had a strong corrosive effect on the sand!

Not only that, the decapitated sandworm's body twisted and turned in the cave for a moment, and then rotted and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing a large amount of highly toxic gray smoke to billow out.

It's shocking to look at!
As for the severed head, it was no exception, and even its hard shell was corroded completely.

No spoils were left for Zhang Yuan!
He didn't even have time to offer a sacrifice.

Half an incense stick later, only a big black hole was left on the sand.

Leading to the dangerous underground!
Zhang Yuan thought about it, then took off his coat and put it in the storage space.

Then, he activated the Dragon Carp Armor.

Zhang Yuan hasn't used this mysterious weapon for a long time, mainly because its defensive power is mediocre and it can only exert its true power in water.

Now he armed himself again with the dragon carp armor.

Then he picked up the Taowu knife and jumped into the sandworm cave in front.

Zhang Yuan wanted to try and see if he could find the treasure through this hole!
Since the diameter of the sandworm is five or six feet, the hole it digs is large enough for a person to enter and exit.

Moreover, the cave walls were squeezed tightly and covered with sticky liquid, and it seemed that they would not collapse in the short term.

In fact, Zhang Yuan was taking a great risk if he continued like this. Once the cave collapsed, it would definitely be very dangerous.

But Zhang Yuan had a vague feeling that this might be the only chance to find the treasure at the moment.

Once you miss it and the cave disappears, you don’t know how much time and energy it will take to search for it again.

Therefore, the idea is to not let go of anyone who is killed by mistake.

He resolutely took a risk! (End of this chapter)
