Chapter 413 Giant sandworm!
"After another year at most, we can leave this desert secret place."
In the vast desert, a very inconspicuous cave is hidden under the sand, and Su Xiaofan and Venerable Huotian are currently grilling scorpion meat in the cave.
The sand scorpion, a specialty product in the desert secret realm, may not look very good and is covered with dark hard armor, but it is said to be a treasure.
The hard armor on the surface of the sand scorpion can be used for refining weapons. Even though the sand scorpion is very fragile in front of Su Xiaofan and Venerable Huotian, the armor refined from the hard armor of the sand scorpion cannot be broken by even a celestial cultivator.
The tail needles and poison sacs of the sand scorpion are even more valuable, and they are extremely precious materials. Those cultivators below the golden immortal flock to them, and often sects organize cultivators to come to hunt the sand scorpion.
As for the scorpion meat under the hard armor of the sand scorpion, it is even more delicious. The rich vitality contained in the scorpion meat is of great benefit even to golden immortal cultivators.
Venerable Huotian used primordial stones to supplement his body's consumption before, but after he discovered that scorpion meat could help him restore energy, he had to have such a meal with Su Xiaofan almost every few days.
There are relatively few sand worms in the secret desert, but there are countless sand scorpions, just like locusts. Every time they lure sand worms, they can easily kill a batch of sand scorpions.
Right now, there are at least hundreds of thousands of sand scorpions in the storage space of Su Xiaofan and Venerable Huotian.
"Yeah, Brother Huotian, I feel like vomiting when I see this desert now."
Su Xiaofan nodded, picked up a piece of sand scorpion meat that was still extremely white even after being grilled, put it in his mouth and took a bite, his face immediately showed a satisfied look.
This sand scorpion meat melts in the mouth, not to mention the delicious taste, and the vitality contained in it can be directly absorbed by the flesh.
The sand scorpions in the desert secret realm are not as small as the scorpions on the earth. Each one is one or two meters in size, and the effect of eating a few sand scorpions is comparable to that of Venerable Huotian absorbing a high-grade primordial stone.
"Hey, brother Su, searching for materials is always so boring."
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Venerable Huotian couldn't help laughing, "I was lucky back then. I entered a big secret realm and found a vein of primordial stone. Do you know that I have been digging there for more than 30,000 years... "
Speaking of this incident, Venerable Huotian was very proud, and this was also the biggest opportunity he encountered after becoming a golden immortal.
Venerable Huotian went to that secret place through the secret door of a fellow teacher. At that time, Venerable Huhotan's secret door had not yet been refined.
Because the secret realm was very large, the cultivators who entered at that time dispersed and went looking for their own opportunities.
Venerable Huotian was unlucky at the beginning. He was targeted by a powerful strange beast in a mountain range. After a fight, Venerable Huotian was defeated and fled.
In order to avoid the strange beast, the Venerable Huotian, who was in a hurry, got into a cave in the mountain.
However, what Venerable Huotian didn't expect was that the seemingly inconspicuous cave from the entrance had something special in it.
After entering the cave, Venerable Huotian discovered that the cave extends in all directions, and even goes deep into the ground for a thousand meters, just like a maze.
Finally, at the bottom of the cave, Venerable Huotian found traces of Yuanshi veins. After some mining, Venerable Huotan was immediately overjoyed.
The size of the primordial stone vein was far beyond Venerable Huotian's imagination. The ore veins were basically middle-grade and high-grade primeval stones, and occasionally a few top-grade primordial stones could be seen.
Venerable Huotian knew very well in his heart that it was too difficult for a new cultivator like himself to encounter such a primeval stone vein, and this was his opportunity.
Venerable Huotian then turned his head and sealed the cave completely, and buried himself in mining the primordial stone vein.
Guarding such a vein of primordial stone, Venerable Huotian naturally has no risk of consuming his cultivation. Anyway, he can replenish it with primal stone at any time, and he can also use primordial stone for cultivation.
Cultivators use primordial stones to practice, the effect is better than fairy stones, and can purify the energy in the practitioner's body. Venerable Huo Tian mined primordial stones while practicing, and he has no idea of returning to the universe.
In the end, Venerable Huotian stayed in that great secret realm for more than 30,000 years, abruptly raising his cultivation base from the early stage of Golden Immortal to the middle stage of Golden Immortal.
The biggest harvest of Venerable Huotian is the mountain of primordial stones piled up in the cave in his body. There are countless middle-grade primordial stones and top-grade primordial stones.
Venerable Huotian didn't return to the ground until the Yuanshi vein was exhausted, crushed his spiritual consciousness left in the secret door of the secret realm, and communicated with the cultivator who owned the secret door to take him out.
Venerable Huotian is also very fortunate that his fellow disciple has not encountered any accidents for more than 30,000 years, otherwise he would be left in that great secret realm.
It is also because of the resources obtained in the Great Secret Realm that Venerable Huo Tian was able to trade in various places and gather all kinds of materials for refining the secret door.
It’s just a pity for Venerable Huotian that he didn’t get the top-grade ethereal stones, so he couldn’t use too many top-grade primordial stones and amethysts, which made the secret doors he refined mediocre.
Of course, no matter how mediocre the secret door is, it also means that Venerable Huotian can go to the Great Secret Realm to search for materials alone. This kind of advantage is incomparable to the Golden Immortal cultivator who does not have a secret door.
It was also after refining the secret door that Venerable Huotian wandered in various great secret realms, obtained a lot of precious materials and cultivation resources, and was able to successfully cultivate to the late stage of Jinxian.
Venerable Huotian always believed that the opportunity he had when he first entered the Golden Immortal was the most important reason why he could cultivate smoothly all the way from the Golden Immortal realm to the later stage of the Golden Immortal.
It's just that the Dao is hard to find. After cultivating to the late stage of Jinxian, Venerable Huotian's cultivation resources and the materials he has searched for for millions of years have also been exhausted.
But what Venerable Huotian didn't expect was that at this time, he unexpectedly met Su Xiaofan, which brought him an unimaginable opportunity.
Whether it is the beast core of the fire dragon beast, or the thousands of top-grade placer gold stored in Su Xiaofan's place, it is enough for Venerable Huo Tian to successfully conclude the Da Luo Dao Fruit.
As for the past few years in the desert secret place, to Venerable Huhotan, it was nothing at all.
At least there is someone around him who can talk to him, and when he was digging underground there, Venerable Huotian didn't even say a word for more than 30,000 years.
After returning to the universe and the myriad realms, Venerable Huo Tian communicated with people with his spiritual consciousness for a whole hundred years, and he didn't open his mouth for a hundred years.
"Thirty thousand years, tsk tsk, brother Huotian, I really can't compare you..."
Hearing the past events mentioned by Venerable Huotian, Su Xiaofan was speechless. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to be alone for tens of thousands of years. The feeling of loneliness alone might drive people crazy.
"Everyone in the world envies the road of longevity, but how many people know that this road is difficult."
Venerable Huotian sighed, silently took a sip of the wine that Su Xiaofan brought out, the spicy taste was very suitable for him.
"When the remaining ambergris is used up, I'll take you to a few more secret realms to get together the materials you need to refine the secret door."
In addition to collecting materials for Su Xiaofan to refine the secret door, Venerable Huotian also needs to find several extremely rare elixir. With the beast core of the fire dragon beast, he will also start to make preparations for the conclusion of Daluo Daoguo.
Those elixirs are rare, but Venerable Huotian knows which great secret realms they are produced in. As long as there are enough primordial stones, they can still be traded.
"Okay, brother Huotian, let's continue!"
Su Xiaofan nodded, he has been away from the Milky Way for decades, and he also wants to refine the secret door as soon as possible, and go to the original galaxy to retrieve his father and the others.
Venerable Huotian put away his cave, and the figures of the two appeared in the desert, repeating the same movements they had made in the past few years.
The desert secret realm is as big as the galaxies in the universe. Thousands of sandworms are inconspicuous to the entire desert secret realm.
It is a pity that the amount of ambergris refined by Venerable Huotian is limited, and after the ambergris is used up, it will no longer be able to attract sandworms.
As the amount of ambergris in their hands decreased, the top-grade gold dust the two got was constantly increasing.
"Brother Huotian, why do I have a bad feeling?"
Just after Su Xiaofan and Venerable Huotian finished hunting a sandworm, Su Xiaofan frowned suddenly.
"What does it feel like? How come I don't?"
Venerable Huo Tian, who had just put away the set of formation flags, was stunned for a moment.
The feeling of a high-level cultivator, especially the telepathy of a golden immortal cultivator, is not just talking about it, it is often a foreknowledge of some things.
"There seems to be a sense of crisis."
Su Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, and said: "The sense of crisis comes from under the desert. I can't explain it clearly, but the feeling is very strong..."
Su Xiaofan didn't know why, after hunting this sand worm, he suddenly felt a thorn in his back, but Su Xiaofan's divine sense couldn't penetrate under the sand surface, he didn't know what was staring at him.
"How about... let's get out of here first?"
Venerable Huotian said to leave, not to leave the desert secret place, the two of them still have more than a hundred copies of ambergris left, and Venerable Huotian wants to consume all of them before leaving.
"Okay, brother Huotian, try to fly as high as possible."
Su Xiaofan nodded, at his level of cultivation, it is impossible to leave just because he sensed a little threat, and Su Xiaofan has not yet determined where the sense of crisis came from.
The figures of the two left the sand surface and flew into the sky.
At the high altitude of the Great Secret Realm, there is an invisible barrier. After flying to a certain height, the cultivator can no longer go up.
“That feeling has diminished a lot.”
When Su Xiaofan and Venerable Huotian came to a place not far from the barrier, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the feeling of being stared at was weakened a lot.
"Brother Su, don't be careless, if it doesn't work, let's leave the Great Secret Realm first."
Venerable Huotian's face is very solemn. The telepathy of the golden immortal practitioners does not come out of thin air, especially in the great secret realm, this feeling can often save their lives.
"Okay, if that feeling is still there, let's leave." Su Xiaofan knew what Venerable Huotian meant.
The two of them flew a relatively long distance this time, flying more than 100,000 kilometers before falling down.
"That feeling has faded a lot, but it's still there."
Su Xiaofan was a little restless, his spiritual thoughts spread around, but he didn't find anything.
Venerable Huotian thought for a while, and said, "Let's stay away this time, don't let the ambergris attract anything."
Although it has been many years since the desert secret realm appeared, and it seems that there are no too powerful alien beasts here, Venerable Huotian still dare not be careless. After all, star beasts have also appeared in the desert secret realm.
It's just that Venerable Huo Tian felt that it was impossible for the appearance of star beasts. He had lived for millions of years, and he had only seen so many star beasts.
After lighting the ambergris and arranging the flags, Venerable Huo Tian dragged Su Xiaofan away to hide.
The two hid a thousand meters away this time. This distance will not affect the attack of the two, but it can avoid some dangers.
"Huh? Didn't the sandworms come out?"
But what surprised the two of them was that after the ambergris in the censer burned out, the sandworms did not appear.
"I'll put another ambergris."
Venerable Huotian said, this kind of situation has actually happened several times, not every time the sand worms can be attracted, and occasionally it is necessary to light two ambergris to attract the sand worms.
Su Xiaofan nodded and didn't say much, but felt more and more restless in his heart, as if an unknown danger was about to come.
After the second ambergris was lit, Su Xiaofan's feeling seemed to be a little bit stronger, which made him a little restless.
"Brother Su, what's the matter, is that feeling coming again?"
Venerable Huotian saw that there seemed to be something wrong with Su Xiaofan's state, and his face became serious.
"Well, I can't perceive where the danger is coming from, but it always feels wrong."
Su Xiaofan glanced at Venerable Huotian, and said, "Brother Huotian, why don't we leave here first and go back to Tianyang Star to rest for a while?"
"That's fine, anyway, there's not a lot of ambergris left."
Venerable Huotian hesitated for a while, and decided to trust Su Xiaofan's perception.
The other thing is that the harvest of the two of them is already very large. There are so many top-grade placer gold, which is enough for the two of them to exchange for the materials they need.
"Hey, here we come."
Just as Venerable Huotian was about to get up to collect the banner and censer, a wave came from where the censer was located.
Su Xiaofan and Venerable Huotian are all too familiar with this kind of fluctuation, they know that sand earthworms will come out in the next moment.
Almost subconsciously, Su Xiaofan's divine sense confined the space where the banner and incense burner were located, and Venerable Huo Tian's long knife burning with real fire also cut out.
But at the next moment, the expressions of both of them changed drastically.
Especially Su Xiaofan, a mouthful of pale golden blood spurted out from his mouth, his whole body seemed to be hit on the head with a heavy hammer, and his standing was a little unstable.
And in the space where Su Xiaofan was imprisoned, a huge and incomparable body was emerging from under the sand.
The body was just showing a round head, it was a thousand meters in size, and Su Xiaofan's divine sense was defeated by it almost instantly.
Besides, the other party didn't intend to attack Su Xiaofan's divine sense, but its size was too big, and the impact force from the sand alone collapsed the divine sense that Su Xiaofan arranged there.
When the whole body showed a golden luster, and the round head and body were revealed, a coercion that shocked the world radiated away in all directions
"Is... a star beast?"
Venerable Huotian's reaction was extremely fast, at the same time that Su Xiaofan was spraying blood from his mouth and nose, he had already opened the secret door beside the two of them.
He kicked Su Xiaofan into the secret door. Just as Venerable Huo Tian was about to enter the secret door, his body suddenly stopped, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. At this moment, the whole person seemed to be exhausted. .
This is because Venerable Huotian slashed at the star beast with the natal long knife, but failed to take it back in time.
Just when the long knife was standing on the star beast, the star beast's body suddenly sank inward, and a big mouth seemed to appear on the body, swallowing Venerable Huotian's natal long knife.
Almost instantly, Venerable Huhotan felt his natal magic weapon and completely lost contact with him.
The natal magic weapon that had been stored for millions of years was destroyed, which immediately caused Venerable Huotian to be severely injured, and his whole person's aura weakened a lot.
However, Venerable Huotian is still experienced. At this moment of life and death, how can he care about the magic weapon of his life? Biting the tip of his tongue fiercely, he woke up three points, and went into the secret door without looking back.
With a burst of space fluctuations, the secret door disappeared into the desert, and the star beast was only a hundred meters out of the sand at this time.
Seeing that its prey suddenly disappeared, the star beast seemed a little angry, and quickly got out of the sand.
That is the effort of counting breaths, a giant sand earthworm with a length of 10,000 meters and a golden yellow body completely showed its figure.
As for the censer burning with ambergris, it had already been swallowed into the body by the giant sand earthworm. After realizing that the fragrance had disappeared, the giant sand earthworm suddenly became violent.
As the body swayed, yellow sand suddenly filled the sky in the desert secret realm, and the body of the giant sandworm moved quickly in the yellow sand.
The stable law of space seems to have lost its effect in front of the giant sand earthworm. The 10,000-meter-long body appears and disappears, and every time it appears, it is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
"What is that? Why is there such a strong wind?"
In a place not far from the oasis in the secret place of the desert, a group of five people are looking for placer gold in the desert.
Such teams are very common. In the desert secret realm, in addition to the cultivators who come to exchange materials, more people come to collect gold dust.
These people are basically Jinxian-level cultivators. In addition to collecting gold dust, they can also kill sand scorpions in exchange for some cultivation resources.
But for some reason, it has always been a desert secret place with no wind, but today it is windy, and it is the kind of strong wind that makes people unable to open their eyes.
"No, then... there are creatures in the wind!"
When the strong wind came in front of him, a golden immortal cultivator suddenly shouted wildly, because his spiritual consciousness had already discovered the huge figure in the wind and sand.
When he saw that figure, the cultivator suddenly collapsed. His consciousness could be released for several kilometers in the great secret realm, but he couldn't even see the whole figure of that figure.
At this moment, a huge suction force came from the strong wind, and several golden immortal cultivators were directly involved, without any power to fight back.
The strong wind continued to rage in the desert secret realm, and the teams looking for gold dust in the secret realm were all quietly wiped out by the strong wind.
The movement caused by the strong wind in the secret desert finally attracted the attention of the cultivators, and the cultivators who were relatively close to the oasis all returned to the oasis.
But when the strong wind surrounded the oasis, all the cultivators realized something was wrong.
With a loud "bang!", the oasis' defensive array was attacked inexplicably.
An invisible shock wave created layers of ripples in the air, and the shield of the large formation was even more crumbling, shaking violently.
