Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Chapter 406 Exploration and Pursuit

Xue Tianhan frowned and thought to himself, could the powerful magic weapon that Feng Yi and others are looking for be related to the Qiyun Mountain and River Map?

He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Feng Yi and his companions' goal is definitely not simple. We must find out their intentions as soon as possible."

At this moment, Zhuge Liang, who had been silent the entire time, slowly spoke, gently waving a feather fan in his hand, his eyes deep. "The northwest direction is an important foreign trade route. We have many spies there, and perhaps we can get some useful information from them."

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, his expression sincere. "Mr. Zhuge is absolutely right. I will give orders right away. Have them investigate the movements of Feng Yi and the others, as well as any unusual circumstances in that area."

After saying this, he immediately called his confidants and quickly conveyed the order.

Meanwhile, Feng Yi and his companions were exploring the northwest. Feng Yi was driving Qiongqi, charging forward, sending flying sand and rocks flying wherever he went.

"Feng Yi, this place is so big, how long will it take us to find it?" Zhang Lu frowned and said impatiently, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Feng Yi snorted coldly, his eyes icy: "Why are you panicking? My intelligence network is not to be trifled with. I will have news soon."

Just then, a subordinate hurried over and whispered something in Feng Yi's ear.

Feng Yi's expression instantly darkened. "What? The Liangzhou Qiyun Mountain and River Map is in Loulan?"

Zhang Lu and others were also shocked when they heard this.

Shi Potianjing couldn't help but ask, "This Liangzhou Qiyun Mountain and River Map is actually in Loulan Country. No wonder we couldn't find it before."

"I wonder what this map of destiny and mountains and rivers you are talking about?" a new player asked puzzledly.

Feng Yi took a deep breath and said slowly, "This Liangzhou Qiyun Mountain and River Map contains a powerful force of destiny. If we obtain it, we can not only improve our own strength, but also control the destiny of the world. With it, we can also set up a destiny formation like Xue Tianhan and trap them to death."

After hearing this, everyone showed greed on their faces.

Feng Yi immediately ordered: "Let's go to Loulan Kingdom."

After she finished speaking, spiritual energy surged around her body and she transformed into a streak of light and flew first towards the direction of Loulan. Qiongqi also roared and flapped its huge wings to follow closely behind. Zhang Lu and others also flew by flying and followed closely.

Not long after, Xue Tianhan received news from all sides.

According to secret reports from spies in the northwest, there have been some mysterious abnormal fluctuations of spiritual power in Loulan Kingdom recently.

"It seems that Feng Yi and others are most likely targeting the treasure of Loulan Kingdom. I suspect it is the Liangzhou Qiyun Mountain and River Map." Xue Tianhan said solemnly, with worry in his eyes.

Xiao Qi clenched his fists, his eyes determined: "Then we must not let them succeed. This map of destiny can only be ours." His tone was full of fighting spirit.

Lady Green Snake nodded slightly, her expression calm. "It's just that Loulan is very far away from here, and the journey is difficult and dangerous. We must prepare as soon as possible."

After discussion, they decided to leave some people behind to guard the camp, while Xue Tianhan, Xiao Qi, Qing Snake Lady and others led the elite troops to Loulan. They knew that this journey would be full of dangers, but in order to stop Feng Yi and others, they had no choice.

Before setting off, Xue Tianhan once again picked up the remaining half of the Pangu Axe, attempting to uncover more secrets of the Three Axes of Creation. He shared his insights with Xiao Qi and the others, hoping to help them improve their skills. He demonstrated and explained with a focused expression.

Xiao Qi did not give up trying to attack Pangu Axe. Although the backlash force was still strong, she relied on her tenacious will to fight against the power of Pangu Axe again and again.

Through her constant attempts, she gradually felt her connection with the Pangu Axe grow stronger and stronger, as if she were slowly mastering that mysterious power. Despite each failure, she remained undeterred, her eyes gleaming with a more determined light.

Everything was ready. Xue Tianhan and the others flew, speeding towards Loulan. Their figures appeared particularly resolute in the sunlight. A new battle was about to begin in Loulan.

After entering the Western Regions, a strong wind blew over with a sky full of yellow sand, and the sky and the earth were instantly shrouded in dimness, and the vision was severely obstructed.

"Everyone be careful, this sandstorm came out of nowhere, don't get separated!" Xue Tianhan shouted loudly, trying his best to release spiritual power, barely forming a protective barrier to cover everyone.

But in the eyes of Xiao Qi, who was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the sandstorm, though fierce, was nothing special. She raised her jade hand lightly, and a gentle yet tenacious ripple of spiritual power spread out, not only strengthening Xue Tianhan's protective barrier but also allowing everyone to stand more firmly in the wind and sand.

Xiao Qi turned to look at the crowd who were holding onto Hu Meiniang's hands tightly and trying to keep their footing in the wind and sand. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a hint of confidence. "Don't panic, everyone, I'm here."

Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei were originally hiding behind the Green Snake Lady and trembling. After feeling Xiao Qi's power, they gradually calmed down. They looked at each other, and some fighting spirit was restored in their eyes.

As everyone struggled forward, a low roar drifted faintly from the wind and sand. Xue Tianhan's expression froze, and he gripped the half-broken Pangu Axe tightly, watching his surroundings warily. Suddenly, two enormous sand beasts, covered in hard scales and with sharp claws, burst forth from the dust.

"It's the Sand Demon!" exclaimed Lady Green Snake.

She quickly unfolded her fan, and a flash of green light appeared, trying to block the attack of the Sand Demon. However, the Sand Demon was not afraid at all, and swung its tail violently, like a thick steel whip, easily neutralizing the attack of the Green Snake Lady.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi stepped forward without hesitation and shouted, "Leave this one to me!"

She moved her jade fingers, and the vast spiritual power gathered in her palm, instantly condensing into dozens of ice arrows, which shot towards one of the sand demons like a meteor chasing the moon.

The ice arrow, with its biting chill, pierced into the sand demon's hard scales. The sand demon felt the pain, roared angrily, and turned to pounce on Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi's figure was light and graceful, like a dancing fairy. She flexibly shuttled between the attacks of the sand demon. The spiritual power in her hands kept changing, sometimes turning into ice blades, and sometimes condensing into ice shields, dissolving the attacks of the sand demon one by one.

On Xue Tianhan's side, he, Green Snake Lady, Hu Meiniang, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei fought against another sand demon together.

Xue Tianhan unleashed the first of his three axe techniques, slashing at the Sand Demon with a sharp axe blade. The Sand Demon roared and blocked with its claws, but the axe blade and claws collided with a sharp sound, sending up a shower of sparks.

The Green Snake Lady waved her fan, and green wind blades whizzed towards the sand demon, but were bounced away by the sand demon's thick scales.

Hu Meiniang waved the dragon bone whip, and the whip shadow flashed, trying to entangle the sand demon's limbs, but the sand demon struggled to break free.

At this time, Xiao Huang waved the dog spirit stick and hit the sand demon's legs, shouting: "Hey, I'll break your legs, big guy!" Every blow was accompanied by a whistling sound of the wind.

Xiao Hei used his teleportation skill to sneak up behind the Sand Demon. He used the impact of the teleportation to ram the Sand Demon's hind legs hard, complaining, "This guy's got a really thick skin. It's giving me a headache!"

The sand demon felt pain and turned to pounce on them. Xiao Huang nimbly jumped left and right, not forgetting to tease: "Come on, come on, you can't catch up with me!"

Xiao Hei responded in between teleportations: "Don't just talk, lend a hand!"

Xiao Hei kept teleporting to different parts of the sand demon to attack, sometimes hitting its flank, sometimes interfering with its vision.

Xiao Huang cooperated from the side, and when the opportunity arose, he would hit the sand demon with a stick. The two of them cooperated very well, constantly harassing the sand demon and distracting its attention.

Although Xue Tianhan and others tried their best, their strength was still far behind that of the Sand Demon, and they were in a tough battle for a while.

However, Xiao Qi faced the Sand Demon with ease. Her ice spells were not only extremely powerful, but also carried a strange chill, which gradually slowed down the Sand Demon's movements.

Xiao Qi seized the opportunity, drew out the Yitian Sword, frost condensed on the sword, and swung it fiercely at the Sand Demon. An ice-blue sword energy whizzed out, leaving a deep scar on the Sand Demon's body.

On the other side, Xue Tianhan shouted loudly, and mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to the extreme, and once again used the Three Axes to Break the Sky.

With a deafening roar, Xue Tianhan successfully repelled the sand demon in front of him. The sand demon roared unwillingly and disappeared in the wind and sand.

Xiao Qi also found the weakness of the Sand Demon at this time. The Sword of the Heavenly Sword, with endless coldness, pierced into the Sand Demon's vitals and killed the Sand Demon.

Everyone took a short breath and continued on their way.

The next day, they finally arrived at the border of Loulan. As soon as they set foot inside, they felt a strong mysterious atmosphere.

The city of Loulan was tall and ancient, with strange runes engraved on its walls, emitting a faint light.

However, when they tried to enter the city, they were stopped by a group of Loulan monks and soldiers who were dressed in strange clothes and surrounded by spiritual power.

The leading general's eyes were stern, and he said in a blunt tone, "Outsiders, stop! Loulan Kingdom does not welcome visitors these days."

Xue Tianhan stepped forward, handed the general a bag of spirit stones, and said politely, "We have no ill intentions. We are just here to do business. We hope the general will be accommodating."

The generals remained unmoved and continued to defend the city gates.

At this moment, a sudden commotion erupted from the city, and a faint surge of spiritual energy rose to the sky. The general's expression changed drastically. After a moment's hesitation, he accepted the spirit stone and finally made way. "In that case, follow me in. But if you dare to do anything untoward, I will be rude to you!"

Xue Tianhan and others hurried into the city, only to see chaos in the city. The monks from Loulan were fighting fiercely with Feng Yi and others.

It turned out that after Feng Yi and others arrived at Loulan Kingdom in advance, they used a magic weapon called "Phantom Spirit Veil". This magic weapon can distort light and spiritual power fluctuations, making them like ghosts, cleverly bypassing the perception of the city gate guards and quietly sneaking into the city.

After entering the city, Feng Yi, relying on his unique sense of mysterious magic weapons, headed straight for the hidden place in the city. They were cautious along the way, but they still triggered the Loulan Kingdom's protective magic circle near an ancient ruin.

Suddenly, alarms rang out and countless runes rose from the ground, forming barriers that trapped them.
