Chapter 66: Lair
Almost at the same time as the sand monstersunched their attack, the five Foundation Building stage cultivators also took the initiative to strike. The massive body of the sand monster, entirelyposed of sand and wind, became the most conspicuous target in the sky. The five Foundation Building stage cultivators disyed their strongest offensive techniques against the formidable enemy. In the face of such a strong opponent, no one would hold back or keep any secrets. Hesitating at this critical moment would be seeking death.
Three flying swords relentlessly pierced the huge body of the sand monster, continuously stabbing it. Old Man Bamboo Stick conjured thousands of shadows of bamboo sticks, fiercely mming the sand monster. Countless ice-cold ice cones descended from the sky, covering arge portion of the sand monster''s massive body.
Although the sand monster had a much higher level of powerpared to the five Foundation Building stage cultivators, itcked the ability to wield magic tools and could only rely on instinct and innate talents to fight. The five cunning humans were experienced fighters, and their magic tools and spells posed a great threat to the sand monster.
Both sides went all out in the battle, with no intention of holding back. In a short period, the sand monster''s body, entirelyposed of sand and wind, dimmed and was torn into pieces. With a few loud bangs, the sand monster''s massive body dissipatedpletely, turning into scattered yellow sand on the ground.
After the battle with the General grade sand monster, the Refining Qi stage disciples of Twin Sess Valley, who were distributed in the nearby area, hurriedly arrived at the scene. Not long after the battle, the five Foundation Building stage cultivators quickly returned to Meng Zhang and the others in the air.
Their faces looked unsightly, indicating that even though the battle was short, it had taken a toll on their strength. Xiao Shenqiang, in particr, who used to have a cheerful smile, now appeared somewhat pale, clearly injured to some extent.
At that moment, several flying boats approached from the distance. Upon closer inspection, they were the Refining Qi stage disciples of Green Bamboo Mountain and Liu Family, who hadpleted the task of hunting the sand monster army and arrived one after another.
Xiao Shenqiang and Shan Ying exchanged a nce, both showing a sense of helplessness. They understood that it was impossible to monopolize the benefits of the sand monster nest now. However, this was for the better as more reinforcements would increase the chance of thoroughly eradicating the sand monster nest.
Xiao Shenqiang turned to Meng Zhang and said, "Kid, point out the entrance to the sand monster nest."
Meng Zhang was prepared and led everyone to the top of the tunnel. He was about to use the Earth Escape Spell to burrow into the ground when Guang Hong Daoist stopped him.
Guang Hong Daoist formed hand seals and shouted, "Rise!" The ground was immediately lifted, revealing the entrance to the tunnel. The other four Foundation Building stage cultivators understood his intention.
In the intervals between Guang Hong Daoist''s actions, the three Foundation Building stage cultivators also used the Earth Escape Spell to bypass theplicated tunnels and head straight towards the sand monster nest''s core.
Meng Zhang thought to himself, "The Earth Escape Spell has be a standard spell for Foundation Building stage cultivators in the Endless Sea of Sand. It seems they must have a way to locate underground and directly determine the position of the sand monster nest."
After the five Foundation Building stage cultivators used the Earth Escape Spell and disappeared, some other cultivators who also practiced the spell followed their traces.
The remaining cultivators were left to face the swarming sand monster horde. Fortunately, the majority of the iing sand monsters were small and at the soldier level, with no General grade sand monster among them. Otherwise, the numerous Refining Qi stage cultivators present would have suffered.
In the chaos, many Refining Qi stage cultivators were either proactive or forced to retreat and scattered into different tunnels. The underground passages were numerous, with countless entrances and exits, swallowing all the Refining Qi stage cultivators in an instant.
Meng Zhang, along with Tian Zhen and Fang Yong, took the initiative to enter a nearby tunnel. Meng Zhang used the Deception Breaking Eye to actively avoid therge group of sand monsters and entered a rtively safe passage. Having just escaped from the chaos and feeling quite scared, Fang Yong couldn''t help butin, "These Foundation Building stage seniors only care about rushing forward, leaving us behind for the sand monsters. They''re clearly causing harm and have no sense of seniority."
Tian Zhen red at Fang Yong, "Shut your mouth."
Meng Zhang also silently cursed, "What a fool, openlyining about Foundation Building stage experts like this. If their disciples hear it, it will cause trouble."
