Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing carefully placed the formation disk in his arms, making sure that a top-grade spirit stone was placed on each formation disk to charge it.

They are indeed wealthy now and don't care about these small amounts of money.

If this formation disk is used properly, it can definitely save lives in critical moments.

The two rested for a while in the shadow of the boulder, and after their physical and mental strength recovered, they continued to follow the instructions of the map and headed towards the mineral resource point.

Along the way, they did not find any human habitation. The surroundings were so eerily quiet that even the shadow of a living creature could hardly be seen.

The scorching sun was mercilessly burning the earth, and even the wind carried a scorching breath.

The two of them didn't know how far they had walked. They gradually became dazed and their physical and mental strength had reached their limits.

Suddenly, a strange scene appeared in Hu Qing's sight. He actually saw the tall buildings in the air that he remembered from his previous life, and even saw moving cars.

The buildings gleamed in the blazing sun, like reflections of another world.

Could this be the entrance to the Earth? Then I can go back home from here!

He was startled and ran over there hurriedly, stumbling along, not daring to stop for a moment, fearing that the scenes would disappear.

Gu Yang was walking in front and suddenly found Hu Qing running away. He hurriedly chased after him.

When he saw Hu Qing staring at the sky with a strange smile on his lips, Gu Yang suddenly realized that Hu Qing had heatstroke and what he saw was just a mirage.

Gu Yang's heart tightened, and he quickly carried Hu Qing on his back, walked quickly to a dead tree, and let him sit down against the trunk.

He took out a healing pill from his storage ring, fed it into Hu Qing's mouth, and also gave him some water.

Hu Qing's face gradually regained its color, and the confusion in his eyes slowly dissipated. Only then did he come to his senses.

"Aqing, are you okay?" Gu Yang asked with concern, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of worry.

Hu Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, I just saw the city in my memory, and I didn't expect it to be heatstroke."

His voice was still a little weak, but he had regained consciousness.

The two discussed it and both felt that this was not a solution.

The Gobi Desert was too hot during the day, so they decided to wait until the sun went down before continuing their journey.

So they rested under a dead tree, waiting for night to fall.

Night finally fell, the temperature in the Gobi Desert dropped sharply, and the scorching heat of the day was replaced by the cold of the night.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood up, stretched their stiff limbs, and prepared to move forward in the night.

The moonlight shines on the Gobi Desert, casting a mysterious veil over this desolate land.

Guided by the moonlight, they continued to move towards the mineral resource point.

The Gobi Desert at night is completely different from the daytime. The silence is broken by the night wind, and occasionally you can hear the roar of wild beasts in the distance.

Both of them were on edge, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Taking advantage of the cool night, the two quickened their pace and headed towards the mineral resource site.

In the moonlight, their shadows were long and swayed on the sand with their steps.

Some monsters gradually appeared on the road. First-level scorpions and lizards shuttled and foraged in the moonlight, and their figures cast mottled shadows on the sand.

For Hu Qing and Gu Yang, these monsters were just minor incidents on the road and did not have much value, so the two of them ignored them.

Killing it takes time and the benefits are small.

However, as he walked, Gu Yang's brows gradually furrowed as he discovered an unusual phenomenon.

"A Qing, look, the road is full of first-level monsters, not even a second-level one." There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

Hu Qing also noticed this when he heard this. "This is indeed a bit strange."

He glanced around, feeling a sense of unease rising in his heart. "We should get out of here quickly and check out the mineral resources."

The two of them no longer hesitated and quickly quickened their pace, running towards the mineral resource point.

They didn't want to stay in this unknown Gobi Desert any longer, as the feeling of unease in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Hu Qing felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his whole body became numb instantly, as if locked by some force.

He immediately stopped, called out to Gu Yang, and drew his weapon, standing on guard. "Brother Gu, stop, be careful, something's happening!"

Gu Yang immediately became alert, his eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for possible threats.

Just then, they noticed that the sand and stones on the ground were actually jumping, and there was a rumbling sound coming from underground.

One sound after another, like continuous muffled thunder, as if something was moving through the ground.

The two looked at each other and immediately jumped back.

The ground where it had just stopped suddenly cracked, and a pair of huge fangs stretched out, followed by a round head.

This monster has no eyes, its mouth is full of sharp teeth, and it makes a shrill scream.

"Hs...hs..."

Gu Yang reacted quickly and swung a sword at the unknown creature.

The sword energy cut through the night sky with a sharp sound, hitting the monster's head directly.

The monster felt pain and its huge body emerged from the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The two men held their weapons tightly and were on guard against this strange monster. Only after the smoke and dust completely dissipated did they see its full appearance.

It is seventeen meters long, cylindrical in shape, and covered with a hard shell.

"This... this should be the rock-eating sandworm. Judging from the situation, it should be a fourth-level monster."

Hu Qing stared at the huge monster, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

According to the book, the rock-eating sandworm is a kind of monster that lives in the Gobi Desert. They usually hide under the sand and feed on monsters and monks. They are extremely dangerous.

But their numbers are extremely rare. I didn’t expect to find them in this secret realm. That explains why there are no monsters above the second level.

This rock-eating sandworm is extremely greedy and has a very fast digestion ability. When it is extremely hungry, it will even swallow sandstone.

The rock-eating sandworm let out an angry roar. Although its eyes could not see, it could sense the breath of Gu Yang and Hu Qing.

Its massive body twisted on the sand and charged towards the two men.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang immediately separated. Facing such a huge monster, it would be unwise to fight head-on.

They must use their speed and agility to find the rock-eating sandworm's weaknesses.

Although the rock-eating sandworm has a huge body, its movements are extremely flexible.

It moved quickly across the sand, creating sandstorms.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing shuttled through the sandstorm, avoiding the attacks of the rock-eating sandworms.

"Aqing, we have to find its head, or other weak points." Gu Yang shouted loudly, his voice seemed a little unclear in the sandstorm.

Hu Qing nodded, his eyes sweeping over the rock-eating sandworm, looking for possible weaknesses.

"Its shell is too hard for our attacks to penetrate," he responded.

The two men dealt with the rock-eating sandworms in the sandstorm. They kept trying different ways of attack, trying to find the rock-eating sandworms' weaknesses.

Although the rock-eating sandworm is powerful, it is just a monster after all, and its movements are beginning to become a little slow.

Finally, during an attack, Hu Qing discovered the weakness of the rock-eating sandworm.

Its abdomen is relatively soft and has no protection from a carapace.

Hu Qing immediately told Gu Yang about this discovery, and the two began to concentrate their attack on the abdomen of the rock-eating sandworm.

The rock-eating sandworm felt pain and roared, trying to crush the two men with its huge body.

But Hu Qing and Gu Yang dodged nimbly. Their attacks became more and more fierce, and wounds began to appear on the abdomen of the rock-eating sandworm.

After a fierce battle, the rock-eating sandworm finally couldn't hold on anymore. Its body rolled on the sand and finally stopped moving.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood there, panting. They both had several scars on their bodies, but their eyes were full of joy of victory.

"Finally solved it. This thing is so difficult to deal with. It's too hard." Gu Yang said breathlessly.

Hu Qing touched the corpse of the rock-eating sandworm and took out the royal sword to remove some of the shell.

"This thing is very hard. Maybe it's a good material for making spiritual weapons. Let's collect some." Hu Qing said with envy.

Gu Yang looked at these hard shells. This was indeed a good thing, so he picked up the Soul-Devouring Blade and cut some shells off along the abdomen.

"Pfft..."

A stream of green juice spurted out, soaking the entire sand. The two were still struggling to peel off the shell.

"Rumble...Rumble..."

The sound grew louder and louder, and the ground began to vibrate as violently as an earthquake.

"Hurry up, other rock-eating sandworms are coming, and there are quite a lot of them!" Hu Qing shouted.

Gu Yang quickly collected all the shells on the ground into his storage ring, and pulled Hu Qing to run towards the mineral resource point.

Not long after they ran, they heard dozens of loud noises behind them. They turned back to check and were shocked.

Dozens of huge rock-eating sandworms danced in the moonlight, devouring the corpses on the ground.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang waited for a while, and when they found that no one was chasing them, they walked towards the target location with peace of mind.

After walking for about an hour, they finally saw the outline of the mineral resource site.

There was a small hill there, and a huge mine had been mined on one side of the hill. In the moonlight, some abandoned tools and ores could be seen scattered around the mine.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

They quickened their pace and headed towards the mine.

However, just as they were about to reach the mine, they suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and a strong sense of crisis came over them.

The two men stopped immediately and looked around vigilantly.

A group of men in black slowly walked out from behind a sand dune not far away.

These people were holding weapons in their hands, with scarves covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Ah Qing, it seems we are not the only ones who know about this mineral resource site."

Gu Yang whispered, already holding his Soul Devouring Blade in his hand.

Hu Qing nodded, a serious look flashing in his eyes.

"Be careful, these people seem to be up to no good," he warned.
