Chapter 768 Black Sand Ridge

Although there are fewer safe routes leading to the Muling tribe, there are hundreds of such dangerous roads, countless, how could someone just happen to catch them?

"You mean, there is a traitor in the Ao family?" said Lao Shu.

Xu Hei pondered and said, "Including the time I was unconscious, I have been in Dark Star for more than 30 years. If the Flame Demon Ancestor has been laying out here during this period, with his ability, it would be extremely easy for him to place some pawns in the major tribes."

"The reason why he didn't fight me to death is probably that he has many tricks up his sleeve and has many ways to deal with me."

"He doesn't even need to do it himself. Just set up some traps on the road and send out a few assassins, which is enough for me to drink a pot."

Xu Hei has completely calmed down. After a little analysis, he thought of many hidden dangers.

He even suspected that not only the Ao family, but also the Yan family might have traitors.

"I didn't expect you to figure this out." The old tree smiled, "Do you still want to go with us?"

"Of course, why not?" Xu Hei sneered, "If I don't go with you, how can I find out those traitors? Besides, I must get this batch of spiritual stones."

Xu Hei said no more, took a few healing pills, and began to recuperate.

His injuries this time were much lighter than the last time. They were all side effects of the law infusion, and the Flame Demon Ancestor basically didn't hurt him.

As long as he rests for a few days, Xu Hei can recover his combat power.

This is also the reason why Xu Hei dared to stay.

…………

Not long after, the convoy passed the most dangerous gale zone and was moving forward in an orderly manner.

The Yan family and the Ao family each sent one person to stand guard in front, and Yan Feng landed at the end to see if there were any enemies following. Aode was in the central area, guarding the goods.

In this way, five days passed in a flash.

The convoy crossed mountains and ridges, stopped and started, and passed many dangerous areas. Except for some natural disasters, nothing else happened.

This surprised Xu Hei.

He thought there would be many ambushes along the way, but there was none, which made him wonder if he was overthinking.

"Everyone, the Black Sand Ridge is ahead. I see that the sandstorm is very big. Why don't we rest here for a few days and wait for the wind and sand to pass before moving forward? What do you think?" Yan Feng said.

Looking ahead, there is an endless black desert, with raging winds, black sand covering the sky, and thunderous sounds. It is the most dangerous sandstorm in the Black Sand Ridge.

"That's what I mean. What do you think, fellow Daoist Xu?"

Ode looked at the stone chamber where Xu Hei was in seclusion.

"I have no objection."

A response came from inside.

"Okay, let's camp here." Ode said loudly.

After five days of continuous travel, plus the previous battle, everyone was exhausted, so they gathered together, took out food, and started to eat.

The Stone Spirits are not picky eaters. As long as the material has spiritual energy, they can eat it, including the bodies of their dead companions.

In the harsh environment of Dark Star, in order to survive, they have long evolved a set of survival rules to adapt to this place.

Those who are not adapted to this set of rules have long been eliminated by nature.

Of course, spiritual sand is the best food, but the quantity is rare and it is used for breakthroughs. No one would be willing to eat it normally.

"Haha, look what I caught?"

A loud laugh suddenly came from a distance, and Ao Fei was holding a long worm in his hand and running wildly from a distance.

"Black sandworm? It's so rare!"

Everyone looked over, with envy on their faces.

Black sandworm, this is a rare delicacy. Compared with those hard stones, this thing is easy to digest and absorb, and it is very nutritious to eat it.

As long as they eat three or five black sandworms, their injuries can be healed immediately.

If this thing could not be raised and could only live in desert areas, it could definitely be sold as a commodity at a high price.

"I found a black sandworm pit over there, with at least a dozen of them. It will be too late if we go too late!" Ao Fei said.

Everyone looked at each other, got up and ran over there.

Not long after, they returned with a full load. Everyone caught a few more or less and ate them.

Yan Feng wanted to send two to Xu Hei, but Xu Hei stayed at home and the stone chamber was sealed, so he had to give up.

At night, the stone man entered a state of recuperation.

As time passed, the sandstorm in the Black Sand Ridge became more and more violent, with no sign of weakening.

From a distance, they could hear the whistling sound of the wind.

And in this whistling sound, there was a sharp light and shadow, which suddenly shot out from the storm.

"Swoosh!"

This light was very hidden, appeared silently, and was extremely fast.

Like a thunder and lightning, it crossed thousands of miles away, shot from the Black Sand Ridge, and accurately hit the stone chamber where Xu Hei was.

"Clang!"

A big hole was shot through Xu Hei's stone chamber.

A pitch-black arrow pierced through the stone chamber and nailed the figure in the center of the stone chamber.

"Oh no, there is an enemy attack!" Ode shouted.

All the stone men woke up and looked in the direction where the arrow came from, but there was nothing but black sand in the distance.

Then look at the stone chamber where Xu Hei was, which was shot through a big hole.

The figure in it was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, without any life.

"Dead?"

Everyone was shocked.

Ode hurried up and blasted open the stone chamber, and found Xu Hei lying motionless on the ground with an arrow stuck in his body, without any life fluctuations.

Yan Feng's pupils shrank, and he found something wrong at a glance.

"No! This is not a living person, this is a fake body!" Yan Feng shouted.

Fake person? Then where did Xu Hei go?

They have been watching the stone chamber. If Xu Hei left, how could there be no movement?

"Ah!!"

As soon as the voice fell, a shrill scream was heard in the black sandstorm in the distance.

In the sharp wind, this scream was extremely harsh, and it could be clearly heard thousands of miles away.

Everyone looked at the distance, with horror on their faces.

In the Black Sand Ridge, the wind was howling. This forbidden sandstorm, which they regarded as absolutely dangerous, at this moment, there was actually a figure swaying in it, as if fighting with another person.

Not long after, the battle was over.

One of them was defeated and captured by the other, who flew out of the sandstorm and rushed over.

In the blink of an eye, he landed in front of him. It was Xu Hei.

In Xu Hei's hand, he held a figure wrapped in black cloth, also from the Stone Spirit Clan. But his stature was short, less than half the size of a normal stone man, and the color of his body changed from time to time, as if he could blend into the environment.

"This is... the killer of the Black Clan, Hei Xuan!" Yan Feng's face changed.

Hei Xuan, one of the top killers of the Stone Spirit Clan, has a low level of cultivation, but his methods are extremely strange. He can sneak into any dangerous area and come and go freely. Even the stone man in the late stage of divine power has been successfully assassinated by him.

At this moment, this famous killer fell into Xu Hei's hands.

There were fine holes all over Hei Xuan's body, obviously injured by black needle ants, and the wounds were smeared with poison, which made him lose his resistance directly.

"Tell me! Who sent you?"

Xu Hei held Hei Xuan's forehead, and a sharp divine thought pierced into his sea of ​​consciousness, and asked.
