I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 78 "On Exploring the Similarities and Differences between the Blessed Land of Yellow Sands and the Blessed Land of Islands" [Next Chapter: Level 9!]

Ten years of the Great Cause.

On July 12th, Zuo Jing coerced two families and three factions in Shangyang Prefecture to gather five hundred experts and massacre the Lei family at Turtleback Peak.

The Lei family was destroyed in two hundred years.

On the evening of August 26th.

Zuo Jing organized over a hundred experts from the Red Mansion to launch a surprise attack on Meng Mansion. In full view of everyone, they dug down Meng Mansion, revealing a hundred-meter-deep pit, and buried alive the leaders of the Meng Mansion gang, including Peng Dingqiu, Cai Lao, Shen Ye, Hong Gu, Hua Jie, and Hei Gui.

Since then.

The Lei family, who killed Zuo's father and mother.

Meng Lou, who abducted Zuo Du Zuo Huai.

Two major enemies.

Completely wiped out.

But this wave isn't over yet!
……

That night.

A blessed land of yellow sand.

Outside Huangsha City.

Yellow sand fills the sky.

Hundreds of suicide soldiers are digging diligently, wielding hand shovels, shoveling shovel after shovel of yellow sand into the gates of hell and disappearing without a trace.

Shovel sand is more efficient than shovel soil.

They ate and dug all day without sleep.

A single suicide soldier can dig hundreds of cubic meters of sand in 24 hours.

One hundred assassins a day is ten thousand.

Very efficient.

But the risks are also significant.

Mythical beast.

quicksand.

Flash flood.

sandstorm.

These kinds of things, if encountered, mostly mean certain death.

The beasts are very strong, and their sudden attacks are even more difficult to defend against.

However, compared to that, natural disasters in the desert are truly unsolvable, with almost no chance of survival.

Zuo Jing suffered too many losses and too many soldiers died in the Blessed Land of Yellow Sands.

He's learned his lesson now and has ordered more assassins to dig sand near Huangsha City, so they can run into the city immediately if danger arises.

At the same time, a small number of suicide soldiers were arranged to advance step by step, carrying materials such as adobe bricks, poplar wood, willow branches, reed bundles, wheat straw, and grass mud mixed with broken soil, etc., and randomly choosing a direction to build a simple dugout every ten miles.

this is very simple!
在地表斜挖深2-2.5米、长6-8米、宽3-4米的坑。

For a normal person, digging such a pit in the desert is no easy feat.

Let's not talk about mythical beasts.

Leaving aside natural disasters.

The extreme weather in the desert alone is enough to give anyone a hard time.

Effort is secondary.

The key point is that the desert is extremely hot in the morning and freezing cold at night, with extreme temperature differences. Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can easily lead to dehydration, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

But assassins wouldn't.

As long as they have enough to eat and drink, they'll be more and more energetic as they dig.

Dig a hole.

The walls are built 0.5 meters high around the perimeter with adobe bricks, and the top is covered with a layer of straw and mud mixed with reeds, wheat straw and broken soil, using poplar wood or willow branches as purlins.

A sloping doorway is installed to prevent quicksand from flowing back in, and a skylight is opened at the top for ventilation and lighting.

No need to reside there permanently.

It's enough to have a short stay and be able to avoid disasters such as sandstorms.

The assassins are formidable.

As long as it doesn't kill you.

Use it to the extreme.

Whether it was carrying materials on their backs or digging and building dugouts, the hard and tiring work was nothing to them.

“Even if I build one dugout a day, I can still move forward 10 li a day. Moreover, with the light spot of the assassin from the Broken Jade, I can be positioned to ensure that I move in a straight line, without getting lost or deviating, and I can move straight for 10 li.”

Ten miles a day.

Ten days and a hundred miles.

A year is 3650 miles.

"We'll be able to break through the desert sooner or later!"

Zuo Jing had many loyal followers, embodying the spirit of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains.

He doesn't even need to leave the desert. As long as one of his assassins can find a second oasis, he can continuously send assassins there to build and explore rapidly.

There are more oases now.

There are too many assassins.

If they are connected, the desert will eventually become a backyard garden.

Once all the oases have been explored, if you still haven't found your parents, then continue searching beyond the desert.

If you still can't find your parents after searching the entire Blessed Land of Yellow Sands, then consider other possibilities, such as whether your parents were ever sent to the Blessed Land of Yellow Sands in the first place.

Regardless of everything!

In short.

"As long as I don't see my parents' remains, I will continue searching." Anyway, this search doesn't mean abandoning everything and doing nothing. In the process of searching, Zuo Jing's number of assassins continues to increase. They keep digging and exploring and developing the blessed land. This process also allows Zuo Jing to continuously improve his strength.

"A blessed land of yellow sand".

"My parents are looking for me."

at the same time.

Zuo Du, who was sold to the Tongtian Sect, and Zuo Huai, who was sold to the Danyang Sect, were both still being searched for by Zuo Jing.

Previously, they searched secretly, but this time, with two families and three factions turning against them, Zuo Jing is also going to overturn the table!

Dare to betray us?
Don't play!
……

The Tongtian Sect.

Like the Lü family, they also occupied a blessed island.

The Tongtian Sect's development of the island blessed land was quite good, far surpassing the Lei family's development of the yellow sand blessed land and the Danyang Sect's development of the swamp blessed land.

Unfortunately, the island is too small and barren, lacking resources.

"It is no more than five miles long."

"It is less than three li wide."

too small.

In just a few days, Zuo Jing had already manipulated several assassins to search the entire small island that the Tongtian Sect had named 'Tongtian Island', but they had not found Zuo Du's whereabouts.

this means--

"Either Zuo nor others are in this blessed land."

"Or maybe he's just not on Tongtian Island."

The Tongtian Sect is similar to the Lei family; in recent years, they have organized many fleets to go out and explore new islands and new continents.

only--

“Please look, messenger.”

"Not only are the seas rough, but they are also shrouded in fog all year round, making it easy to lose one's way when sailing out to sea."

Sha Taohai, the second son of Sha Tongtian, the leader of the Tongtian Sect, was far away in the blessed land and was unaware that the Tongtian Sect had openly turned against the Underworld Society.

He's still performing here.

Like a clown.

Zuo Jing could only laugh when he saw it.

Sha Taohai had no idea; all he knew was that he needed to keep these two underground envoys in check.

At this moment, feigning compliance and dutifully detailing the progress of the exploration of this blessed land: "Actually, there's not much progress!"

As we all know, a ship at sea depends on its helmsman.

But even the best helmsman cannot discern direction on a fog-shrouded sea.

Whether or not we can find other islands depends entirely on luck.

"Even if we do find it, whether we can get it back is another matter."

Sha Taohai, who was also in his forties, had long been worn down by this blessed land: "I've tried both big and small ships, but most of them went out and few came back."

It is unknown whether dozens or hundreds of ships were lost, or whether thousands or tens of thousands of people were lost.

No feedback.

The Tongtian Sect primarily used this small Tongtian Island as a base to hunt marine creatures on the beach and in the nearshore area.

Very difficult.

But the benefits are enormous.

"Your Excellency is unaware that the fish and beasts in the sea are already enormous, and the strange creatures in the sea are even more terrifying!"

"Often you can see huge, strange beasts that are as tall as a mountain. Just one look at them from afar is enough to make you breathless."

Sha Taohai got quite excited as he spoke.

There's no need for him to get excited.

Zuo Jing, possessing the body of a death warrior, saw the faint roar and waves rumbling from the vast sea, and he realized—

"A blessed island paradise!"

"A blessed land by the ocean!"

"Completely counters my assassins who are good at digging!"

……

The Lei family's blessed land of yellow sand is not easy to explore.

The blessed island of the Tongtian Sect is difficult to explore.

The swampy blessed land of the Danyang Sect is also difficult to explore.

“Large areas of muddy, low-lying waterlogged land overgrown with weeds.”

This is called a 'swamp'.

Whether in the ocean or the swamp, it's not easy to find Sakyo's assassins.

If there's nothing left to dig, we can't just dig up all the islands where we can finally settle down.
The latter was too difficult to dig. The damp soil was already hard to dig, and the water that came out after digging made it even more difficult, so the tunnel could not be built.

"However, once I seize the blessed land of the swamp, I can send out a large number of assassins to dig out rivers and explore in all directions."

There's still a way to deal with the swamp.

There's really no other way around islands.

"Proceed step by step."

"take it easy."

As for when to take action to seize the blessed land?

Not some other day.

Just today!
