Shen Longxuan and Yue Shan had already flown out of Fringe City and learnt that they were not far from Nether Imperial City. According to their speed, they would arrive in two months."Boss, tell me, my reaction was quick and slow, did you act well? That dying fat pig didn"t see the looks in those people"s eyes. I reckon by now, that fellow should have been torn to shreds!"
The place where they were at right now was a desert. However, the sand was also gray and incredibly hot. They finally found a place with water. It could be considered a small oasis.
All along the way, Li Changkong"s mouth had never been idle, always bragging about how brave and witty he was. Shen Longxuan"s ears almost recognized the coc.o.o.n in his voice.
"Shut up. I want you to handle it yourself because I want you to learn a lesson. You can"t pa.s.s down the Dao so easily. Also, you can"t show off your treasures so easily.
"After what happened last time, you can only say that these people were too greedy. As long as there"s a sober one, neither of us can escape. Not only did you not learn your lesson, you even brag about yourself all day.
Shen Longxuan"s words were suddenly like a ladle of cold water, watering Li Changkong until he withered.
"Boss, I know my wrongs. Next time …" No! There definitely won"t be a next time! "
Hearing his guarantee, Shen Longxuan rolled his eyes. According to Shen Longxuan"s estimation, his words should only have 30% of the truth.
Why did he bring such a wonder? Shen Longxuan felt a headache.
"If there"s a next time, just disappear from my sight!"
Before Shen Longxuan even finished his sentence, the two of them felt the ground shake, following that it became more and more intense.
Boom!
Just a dozen or so feet away, the ground exploded. Countless red grains of sand shot out like bullets, causing the two people to have a deep cultivation base, and not be harmed at all.
However, what they saw next was a Centipede they had never seen before. This fellow was seven to eight hundred feet long, and his densely packed giant feet were covered with barbs. Each of his giant feet were as thick as a tree, and the barbs on its surface were as sharp as knives.
This huge fellow had a head in front and a head in the back. Furthermore, it had a huge mouth that almost covered its entire head.
Its body was filled with strange patterns. It was like a huge eye. Just by standing there, one could feel the fear coming from the bottom of their heart.
Shen Longxuan was puzzled. Shouldn"t this kind of thing live in a wet place? Why did he grow up in the desert?
"Old... Boss, this guy seems really strong, I … "I …" Li Changkong hid behind Shen Longxuan, "Boss, I"ll leave it to you!"
Shen Longxuan knew that this Centipede should be a Demonic Beast at the peak of the Sixth Rank.
However, this Centipede did not seem to be rushing towards the two of them. The moment it came out of the ground, it quickly ran towards the distance, and the giant feet truly displayed its strength, allowing it to reach an astonishing speed.
After they climbed over a large dune, their bodies formed a sphere and they quickly rolled downwards.
"Boss, I feel like it"s trying to escape. Could it be that there"s a Demonic Beast stronger than it?"
Just as Li Changkong finished speaking, the ground started to shake again, and it was even more severe than before. The two were already shaken until they couldn"t stand steadily, and flew into the air at the same time.
From the hole that the Centipede crawled out of, a green snake covered in blood rushed out. The reason it was small was because it was only fifty feet long, like a small worm compared to the huge beast just now.
"No wonder the sand was red, but it seems like this little thing is even stronger than that big guy. How could it be injured?"
Shen Longxuan looked carefully, the little snake"s body was not blood at all, it was just a pattern that was flowing, and inside the pattern there was a warning aura, even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he could not recognize the snake.
After the little snake came out, it bent its body and chased after the Centipede like an arrow that had just left the bow.
Just as the two of them heaved a sigh of relief, the ground shook again. This time, no Demonic Beast rushed out, but for some reason, it made the two of them feel that it was even more terrifying than the two Demonic Beast combined.
Boom!
This time, the sand that shot out from the hole was completely red. In just an instant, it filled the entire area. Although the two held their breath, their bodies were glued to them.
They were horrified to find that the sand had a strong corrosive effect. Their clothes quickly rotted and within a few breaths, their coats turned into ashes.
"Sand of Doom! This was the Sand of Doom! "Boss, quickly leave, or else we"ll all die here." Li Changkong screamed and ran backwards, ignoring everything else.
However, Shen Longxuan used the Underworld Ghost"s power to protect his body as he grabbed Li Changkong and shot toward the direction the two Demonic Beast fled in.
Not far from where he was flying, he discovered that the sand on his body had corroded to the point that it revealed his flesh and blood. If he did not deal with them soon, the two of them would turn into dust.
Li Changkong was in an even more miserable state. His cultivation and body were both inferior to Shen Longxuan"s, and white bones were already exposed on his body.
Shen Longxuan had never seen this kind of situation before. He heard Li Changkong say that this was the sand of misfortune, and that this was probably a natural scenery unique to the underworld.
Shen Longxuan"s mind quickly spun. Right now, time was life, and he saw that Li Changkong had already rolled his eyes, while the sand spewing out of the mouth of the cave was everywhere, as if it had already spread across the entire desert.
The world in front of him was a sea of red. There was nowhere for him to run!
Furthermore, he had already seen the corpse of the gigantic Centipede.
Li Changkong felt despair in his heart, "Boss, we are dead for sure. If we can"t even hold back such a big fellow, we will definitely be done for too."
"Shut up. Tell me, is there any way to break this Sand of Doom?" Shen Longxuan asked anxiously.
Li Changkong was about to cry, "How can the Sand of Doom have any kind of method to break it? He is the one and only method to get rid of the Resentment in the underworld.
This kind of Resentment would gather together over time, and reach a terrifying degree. It would corrode everything in the underworld, and later on, the Nether Emperor would use powerful methods to gather these Resentment in a few areas.
The desert beneath our feet was corroded by Resentment. How could I be so muddled that I actually forgot that the underworld"s desert was the Sea of Resentment?
Li Changkong said all this in vain.
Shen Longxuan did not listen to him blabber anymore. He expanded his Divine Sense to its limit and the scenery for the thousands of kilometers immediately appeared in his mind. However, it was completely devoid of any other colors, all of them being red sand.
Furthermore, in this red sand, it was full of resentment. This Resentment hated life, hated everything in the world, and wanted to destroy everything.
But suddenly, Shen Longxuan discovered that the big snake was standing perfectly straight, like a wooden stick poking into an area in the desert. This discovery made Shen Longxuan extremely happy, because the big snake that was standing there was not harmed by the red sand.
He unleashed all of his cultivation base, almost at the level of the teleportation, and in the blink of an eye, had arrived at this place. For some reason, there was no red sand within a three meter radius.
Shen Longxuan finally understood why this snake stood there like a wooden stick, it was because this was the only way to avoid the red sand.
