Chapter 309 Underground City

The speed of the thunderstorm was much faster than the magic weapons of the four monks. Although it took off later, it surpassed them in the blink of an eye and fell straight ahead.

When the four monks saw this scene, they didn't know that there was a foundation-building monk hiding in the caravan, but they didn't care about it at the moment, and they all tried their best to activate the magic weapon. Afraid of being a step too late.

At the same time, five dark hurricanes suddenly appeared in the sky behind everyone.

The black tornado rolled up the yellow on the ground, and while the sand was flying, several thunderbolts suddenly fell from the dark clouds, and in an instant, the dazzling light illuminated the whole world.

While Yuan Ming was galloping, he glanced back and saw endless electric lights tumbling and leaping among the tornadoes, like several crazy vicious dogs chasing some unknown object.

At this time, Hu Ji, who was being carried by Yuan Ming, also shouted loudly: "Master Immortal, fly quickly to Xiansha City. Only the underground magic circle there can resist!"

"Rumble"

Before he finished speaking, the shocking sound of thunder came from the distance and fell into everyone's ears in an instant.

The moment Yuan Ming heard the thunder, he felt a strong dizziness and pain, as if someone was hitting his soul with a giant hammer.

Under him, Leiyu let out a cry and fell straight to the ground.

However, perhaps because of Yuan Ming's powerful spirit, he quickly recovered from his dizziness.

But at this time, he had separated from Leiyu's back and was falling towards the ground.

He did not dare to delay, so he quickly took out the jade shuttle, and while flying, he rescued Hu Ji and Lei Yu who were also falling before they hit the ground.

Yuan Ming felt distressed and put Lei Yu, who was still in a dazed state, into the spirit beast bag, and continued to control the shuttle forward. At the same time, he glanced back again, only to see that the four Qi Refining monks who were following him just now had disappeared. trace.

But the five tornadoes were also attacking him non-stop. The lightning flashed and jumped in a trance, seeming to outline the head of a giant beast, and it roared silently towards Yuan Ming.

At the same time, thunder came rolling in, like war drums in front of the battle, one sound louder than the other. But for some reason, the thunder at this time seemed to have lost its power. When it fell into Yuan Ming's ears, he did not react to him. The spirit causes damage.

However, this does not mean that Yuan Ming is out of danger. The manic tornado is chasing after him, and bursts of biting cold air pierce Yuan Ming's spine.

"Kacha"

Suddenly, Yuan Ming heard a burst of ice crystals exploding. He looked down and was horrified to find a trace of frost-like black mist climbing up the tail of the jade shuttle.

The mist spread towards Yuan Ming's feet bit by bit, like the hand of a seducer, stretching towards Yuan Ming's body bit by bit.

But the next moment, the sound of wind behind Yuan Ming suddenly stopped, and the black mist on the jade shuttle also dissipated. The dark clouds in the sky quickly receded, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.

The setting sun fell on Yuan Ming's shoulders again, and the heat of the sun dissipated the remaining coldness on Yuan Ming's body. Everything returned to normal, as if everything just now was just a nightmare.

But when Yuan Ming turned around to look, he saw that on the sand behind him, there were several terrifying narrow ravines remaining, like scars on the earth, which was shocking.

The name of the Black Wind Desert comes from the "Black Wind" natural disaster that often appears in it. This natural disaster appears and disappears irregularly, leaving nothing but yellow sand wherever it goes.

Before Yuan Ming came here, he had heard the evil name of "Black Wind", but when he actually faced Black Wind, he knew the true meaning of the word "natural disaster".

Yuan Ming drove the shuttle and flew towards the previous caravan camp. But along the way, apart from the ravines, all he saw were some broken wood and rags, and the occasional broken limbs - even a complete body. No bodies were left behind.

The only survivors of the entire caravan were him and the man named Hu Ji.

Yuan Ming lowered the shuttle and put Hu Ji down on the sand. He checked his condition and found that his body was fine, but his soul was injured and he fell into a coma. He didn't know when he would recover.

The sea of ​​sand is vast. Now Yuan Ming has no guide, but he doesn't know where the sand city is. With no choice but to give it a try, Yuan Ming searches for the soul of the unconscious Hu Ji.

Fortunately, although Hu Ji's soul was injured, he still retained a lot of memories, including the content of him following the caravan between Zhao and Shacheng.

In his memory, Shasha City was located in the direction where Yuan Ming and the four Qi Refining monks had just fled.

Now that he had figured out the location, Yuan Ming didn't stay any longer, took the unconscious Hu Ji with him, boarded the jade shuttle again, and flew towards Shasha City.

…

Soon after, Yuan Ming urged the jade shuttle to land in front of a tall black sand dune.

This place is where Sand City is located.

Unlike elsewhere, all towns in the Black Wind Desert are built underground, so they are also called dungeons.

The entrance to each dungeon is set up in the same black sand dunes and is reinforced with formations. There will also be dedicated monks guarding it. If there is a black wind natural disaster, they will immediately get into the ground and open the city. Another magic circle that can protect the black wind.

When the black wind rages, not only will there be tornadoes and thunder on the ground, but there will also be evil spirits eroding underground. Therefore, you cannot escape from the black wind simply by drilling underground.

But at least, drilling underground can avoid being hurt by tornadoes. Although this is not of great significance to the monks, it can greatly reduce the damage to buildings and the consumption of magic arrays for towns.

Yuan Ming quickly found the entrance to the trapped sand city at the foot of the black sand dune. Seeing Yuan Ming covered in dust and holding an unconscious mortal in his hand, the Qi-refining monks in charge of guarding him suddenly became nervous.

"Senior, what are you doing..."

"The escorted caravan encountered the black wind. Fortunately, it was still far away. I took him and escaped in time." Yuan Ming said, with a heartfelt relief on his face.

The guards in front of the door heard this and widened their eyes. They praised Yuan Ming for his good luck and let him in.

Behind the entrance of the sand dune is a wide underground tunnel. The ground is slightly tilted downward. There are many night pearls inlaid on the stone walls above and on both sides, providing enough light for the entire tunnel.

Yuan Ming went down all the way. Soon, his vision suddenly became clear and a city under the sand appeared in front of him.

The whole city is built in a huge hollow. On the top of the hollow, there are many special luminous instruments, which are as bright as sunlight, illuminating the whole city. There is no sense of darkness and oppression.

Looking from above, the city is a concentric circle structure, divided into inner city and outer city. However, whether it is the inner city or the outer city, most of the houses here are built with sand, and there are not many traces of stacking. They are almost all integrated. The window panes on the windowsills are mostly made of stone, and they are covered with curtains instead of window paper.

In addition, due to the height of the hollow, the highest of these houses is only five stories high, and there is a clear gradient difference from the center of the city to the outside.

The structure and decoration of the houses in the inner city are much more gorgeous than those in the outer city, but compared with the cities that Yuan Ming has seen before, they are much simpler. Not to mention the large market town of Xiaohu City, even Tiehu Town is better than this place.

As for the houses in the outer city, they were even more unsightly. They were shoddy and crudely made everywhere. From the inside to the outside, the houses became more and more simple. Not only were there traces of axe chopping and knife cutting everywhere on the walls, but some even had many traces of destruction by magic, and they looked like broken walls and ruins.

When they reached the edge of the city, there were not even any decent bricks and tiles on the walls. They were just simple tents made of rags and rags. It was because there was no wind in the underground city, otherwise these tents would have been blown away long ago.

Yuan Ming was not in a hurry to visit the town. He first found a fairly regular clinic in the outer city, handed Hu Ji over to them for treatment, and left a sum of gold and silver for the doctor in the clinic to give to him after Hu Ji woke up. Then he walked towards the inner city.

On the streets of the outer city, Yuan Ming found that the mortals around him either looked poor and sad, or had a fierce aura, and they did not look like good people.

However, even these bandit-like people would immediately and carefully hide aside if they met monks walking on the street, fearing that they would block their way.

Compared with ordinary people, the monks on the street were more wild and manic.

Perhaps because Yuan Ming's eyes stayed on him for too long, a strong man with a beard suddenly looked up from the two monks who were arguing on the street and glared at Yuan Ming fiercely: "What are you looking at? Do you want to die?"

Yuan Ming didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he shook his head and retracted his sight. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly frowned and dodged to the left flexibly, avoiding a thin monk who stumbled and bumped into him. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed his arm like lightning.

"You are being a bit blatant, fellow Daoist." He said with a hint of anger on his face.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, fellow Daoist." The thin monk smiled and bowed his head to apologize.

But at the moment when he lowered his head, his empty left hand suddenly swung upwards, and his fingertips seemed to be holding something and hit Yuan Ming.

But these small movements of his could not escape Yuan Ming's perception. As soon as he raised his arm, Yuan Ming's hand was the first to point in front of him. A fireball appeared on his fingertips and continued to expand.

The thin monk sensed the power of Yuan Ming's burning and explosive technique, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He did not dare to make any more unusual movements and had to beg for mercy repeatedly.

After all, Yuan Ming had just arrived and did not want to cause trouble, so he took the initiative to let go of the thin monk's arm, scolded him a few words, and let him go.

However, when the thin monk hurriedly fled, there were many boos around Yuan Ming.

He looked around and saw that because of his actions just now, many people had gathered to watch the excitement. Seeing that they did not fight, each of them was a little disappointed and wanted to cause chaos in the world.
