Chapter 162: Sandstorm (II)

  Chapter 163: Sandstorm (III)

  "What's wrong, doesn't it feel a bit strange?"

  After the team dispersed, Leiting walked behind and asked Tianxin in a low voice.

  "A bit." Tian Xin nodded and said truthfully.

  "It's just a habit." Reitings was very satisfied with Tianxin's answer and said with a smile.

  "This was one of Geras' habits. Every time he led the troops deep into the desert, he would ask once, and although no one had quit in all these years, he still did it with relish."

  "But such opportunities are becoming fewer and farther between," Rayting continued.

  "Why say that?"

  "Once Grass enters the top-tier Ya Shen, he will never come out again." Laiting explained.

  "Grass went out of town to hunt down Crystal Beast, more for seeking an opportunity to upgrade."

  ”

  "How long have you known Glass?"

  Looked at the distant Glasgow. Tian Xin asked.

  This person doesn't talk much. His strength and character are quite good, ranking among the top of the quasi-gods. He is still relatively likable.

  "It's been several thousand years. The first time I saw him, I had just entered the Middle Rank of the Divine Realm. Gracias had just become a High-Rank God. At that time, we were in the same hunting squad. When we were hunting the Crystal Beast, he saved my life."

  "After that, I've been following Glaucus all along. Time flies by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's already several thousand years. I've also become a high-ranking demigod for several hundred years now. Glaucus is only one step away from becoming a top-ranking demigod." Raiting said with a faint smile.

  "Haven't you left Flame City for thousands of years?"

  "Yes." Laiting nodded and said.

  "Flame City is not bad, Flame Desert is also a good place to practice. Maybe after Gras enters the top-level demigod, we will go out and take a look."

  "But to travel through the entire cultivation world, it's definitely not possible. The cultivation world isn't that easy to roam around in, many idle Lesser Gods won't go everywhere, but instead stay in one place cultivating, increasing their strength, striving for the day they can break through and become a God." Raito said with a sigh, his eyes flashing with a hint of longing.

  "That's right," Tian Xin said.

  Two worlds still have some similarities, the world of the previous life was to become an immortal, this world is to become a god, and practitioners more or less all have this obsession.

  "Talk later, Operation Hunt is about to begin."

  "As Grass said, after entering the desert, we must be more careful." Rayting reminded.

  The hunting party entered the sixteenth day of entering the Flame Desert and began to move towards the central part of the desert.

  The hunting party's advance slowed a bit, their vigilance heightened.

  In the central desert, there are more yellow crystal beasts, green crystal beasts, and even ninth-grade blue crystal beasts, which are said to exist.

  Nine-grade blue crystal beast, the king of crystal beasts, can command all crystal beasts below nine grades.

  It is said that in the center of the Blazing Desert there exists a ninth-grade blue crystal beast, which is the king of all crystal beasts in the Blazing Desert.

  There were some top-tier quasi-gods who entered the center of the Blazing Desert, some top-tier quasi-gods retreated due to being unable to withstand the siege of the green crystal beasts, and some top-tier quasi-gods unfortunately fell in the Blazing Desert.

  None of the Asura who returned to Flame City alive had ever seen the Blue Crystal Beast, and as for those who remained in the Flame Desert forever, it was impossible to know whether they saw it or not.

  The Flame Desert is vast, with countless Crystal Beasts inside. No one knows how many Yellow Crystal Beasts, Green Crystal Beasts, or Blue Crystal Beasts there are, or if there even are any Blue Crystal Beasts. Even more so, no one has ever ventured into the Flame Desert with a group of top-tier Demigods and High-Ranking Demigods just to find out the answer.

  Unless there is a deep grudge or special purpose against the Blue Crystal Beast, generally no one would mobilize a large number of top-tier demigods to hunt and kill it, as the cost is too high and not worth it.

  Scorching sunshine, fiery wind, and golden scorching sand.

  On the seventeenth day of entering the desert, Tian Xin and his party saw from a distance the terrifying power of the sandstorm killer in the desert.

  Standing over a hundred kilometers away from the center of the sandstorm, one can still clearly feel the storm's powerful suction and terrifying air pressure.

  Huge boulders and some red crystal beasts that dodged too late were sucked into the storm, torn to pieces in an instant, and then thrown somewhere by the storm.

  The entire sandstorm covers a vast area of hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

  It can be inferred that when a lower-ranking deity is about ten kilometers away from the storm's center, they are generally unable to withstand the storm's enormous suction.

  If a lower-ranking deity is in poor spirits and gets sucked into the storm's center, it may be torn to shreds within several breaths.

  Even if an upper-ranking demigod accidentally falls into the center of a storm without good armor, they might end up seriously injured.

  The speed of the sandstorm's advance was no less than that of a Lesser Deity flying at full power.

  Except for a few people like Tianxin who were hunting crystal beasts outside the city for the first time, most of them had experienced sandstorms many times.

  Some people have even survived sandstorms, and some have witnessed their teammates being ruthlessly swallowed by the sandstorm.

  The faces of the people were somewhat solemn, after all, this was the first sandstorm they had seen in the desert on this trip.

  The storm came quickly and left quickly, in less than an hour, the storm had disappeared from everyone's sight.

  Turning back to look, where the sandstorm had passed was a scene of devastation.

  Shattered stone blocks are scattered all over the ground, with red crystal beasts' crystals also visible here and there. The earthen mound is even more eye-catching.

  The wind blows, the sand moves, and in no time, all of this is buried under the golden sand, as if the storm that had just passed never existed.

  "Are you shocked? Scared?" Laiting leaned over, narrowing his eyes and smiling.

  "Uh... there are some." Tian Xin was taken aback for a moment, then hastily nodded and said.

  A sandstorm of this magnitude, Tian Xin didn't take it seriously, after all, in his previous life, he could create a more terrifying storm with just a wave of his hand. It was a space-time storm that could slaughter gods, and Tian Xin had personally experienced it once, although not by choice.

  "When I first saw a sandstorm that year, I felt the same way as you, and couldn't speak for half a day."

  "Don't worry, the sandstorm is fierce, but as long as you're careful and run a bit faster, there's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, even if a storm does appear, we upper-ranking gods will know about it in advance." Reitings patted Tianxin's shoulder, comforting him.

  Tian Xin could only nod silently, with a very grateful expression.

  The closer to the center of the desert, the higher the temperature.

  After venturing deep into the desert, the team's hunting and killing actions were no longer as frequent as they were at the beginning, with each hunt spaced out over several days, or even tens of days.

  During the hunt, more and more yellow crystal beasts were encountered. Some unlucky and careless intermediate gods suffered non-trivial injuries.

  After seeing blood, the hunting team's actions became more cautious, and the atmosphere in the team began to feel somewhat oppressive.

  Because no one knows when a more powerful Green Crystal Beast will appear?

  Heerde and his party did not make a move, so Tianxin naturally didn't need to rush into action either. Of course, not encountering an appropriate opportunity was also an important reason.

  It seems that Hede really intends to swallow this hunting team, but unfortunately he has his mind on the wrong person. Tian Xin said secretly.

  As for the top-tier demigod following behind Hed's group, Hed's group didn't discover his existence, and naturally Tianxin wouldn't pay much attention to him either. Although his existence would cause some trouble for Tianxin's actions, it wasn't too great of a problem.

  Chapter 163: Sandstorm (Three)

  Bang...

  Tianxin held a third-grade magic crossbow and continuously shot out magic arrows.

  Although Tianxin's magic arrow did little damage to the yellow crystal beast, it could still cause some trouble for the yellow crystal beast, such as making its movements suddenly pause.

  This fraction of a second's delay was enough for other mid-tier deities to seize the opportunity, heavily injure or even kill the Yellow Crystal Beast.

  This is a combination of Tianxin and other mid-tier gods formed in several hunting actions, and the effect is not bad.

  In the hunting action, Tianxin did not show strength beyond that of a lower-ranking demigod.

  The magic arrow shot out is also composed of the elemental power that can be condensed by the lower-ranking sub-god.

  Deeper in the desert, each hunting action's area has shrunk significantly, and the magical barrier that isolates the fighting atmosphere is usually maintained by four or six sub-gods.

  Apart from the six minor gods responsible for guarding, the other minor gods generally take turns participating in battles.

  But if there are many crystal beasts and they are very powerful, the sub-gods will join forces.

  Because each battle must ensure that the time cannot be too long, after entering the desert, staying in one place for too long is likely to encounter other crystal beasts.

  The hunting area has shrunk by nearly half, but there are still many crystal beasts inside the area, with several or even dozens of yellow crystal beasts appearing each time.

  This time luck was on their side, and they caught thirteen yellow crystal beasts during the hunt.

  Tian Xin also joined the battlefield to hunt down the Crystal Beast. He kept moving around in the area, occasionally shooting out a few magical arrows.

  The interval between each shot is very short, and Tianxin's magic arrows can be seen flying all over the sky.

  The magical arrows shot out by Tianxin amazed many demigods, although the speed of the magical arrows themselves was not fast, but every time a few arrows were shot out, one or two would always hit the yellow crystal beast from different angles.

  Also, Tianxin's magic arrow can be combined with other mid-position demigod attacks to seal the crystal beast's movements in advance.

  Sometimes Tian Xin can even work with several intermediate gods at the same time to hunt down the Yellow Crystal Beast.

  This insight is too sharp, and many demigods have thought of it.

  If Tian Xin becomes an upper-ranking demigod, wielding seventh-grade, or even eighth-grade or ninth-grade magic crossbows, his attack power will be absolutely formidable and he will definitely be a top-notch hunter when it comes to hunting crystal beasts.

  "Cough."

  The last yellow crystal beast was easily cleaved into fragments by Retting.

  "Heavenly heart, done beautifully."

  Leiting picked up the crystal stones and crystal cores on the ground, loudly praising them.

  Not far away, many of the intermediate gods who were in harmony with Tianxin also praised him.

  "Tian Xin, you're doing great." Glass also said with a smile.

  "It's nothing, I just helped out a bit." Tian Xin said.

  "Boom....."

  Outside the magic shield, a loud explosion.

  "Captain Glass, a green crystal beast has suddenly appeared outside."

  The guard outside the magic shield said hastily to a middle-ranking demigod.

  "Go out and take a look." Grass's face suddenly sank, saying.

  Grass swiftly flashed out of the magical shield with a line of people.

  The superior subordinate god Dongying, who is in charge of guarding, is fighting a green crystal beast.

  The loud noise just now was the sound of Dong'e's heavy sword colliding with the green crystal beast.

  This green tiger-shaped crystal beast has a massive body shape, with extremely strong speed, attack power and defense.

  Tōei's sword strike on the green tiger-shaped crystal beast only left some minor cracks, having almost no effect on the green crystal beast.

  Dong Ying alone could barely cope with this green crystal beast, let alone kill it.

  Five mid-tier deities were dancing with six yellow crystal beasts nearby.

  "The crystal beast at the peak of seventh rank is close to an eighth rank crystal beast in terms of strength." Raytins couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as he saw the green crystal beast.

  "We're also too unlucky, aren't we? To run into a guy like this at a time like this."

  "It's too late to set up the magic shield now, all the upper-ranking gods will use their full strength to kill the green crystal beast. The other gods will also use their full strength to kill the yellow crystal beast." Glars said urgently, ignoring Raiting's surprise.

  "Time is pressing, we must take down these crystal beasts before other green or a large number of yellow crystal beasts arrive here, and then withdraw immediately."

  After finishing speaking, Grass led the way and attacked the green tiger-shaped crystal beast first.

  Apart from himself, others' damage to this Tiger Crystal Beast was too small.

  Seven upper-ranking deities stood in different directions, surrounding the tiger-shaped crystal beast and launching an attack.

  Apart from Geass, the best of the other six Upper Rank gods' weapons was only sixth-grade, and one of the Upper Rank gods' weapons was even fifth-grade.

  Weapons below seventh grade have a significantly weaker killing effect on the green crystal beast. It took three sword strikes from Reitens with a sixth-grade weapon to barely match the effect of one sword strike from Gras.

  No magical barrier isolates the air, in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, except for Tianxin, almost all other demigods are attacking with all their might.

  The aura of battle here will soon attract a large number of crystal beasts. If the fight can't be settled quickly, it will be impossible to leave when the time comes.

  The six yellow crystal beasts were quickly settled, but three mid-tier demigods and crystal beasts were injured during the intense battle.

  After six yellow crystal beasts were resolved, other yellow crystal beasts continued to rush over.

  The green crystal beast surrounded by the seven people of Laas, although at a disadvantage, had many cracks on its body, but with its solid defense, it could still hold out for some time.

  The green crystal beast is much more cunning than the yellow one, Grass's attacks can be dodged and others' attacks can be resisted.

  Leiting and a few others didn't dare to collide head-on with the green crystal beast, their weapons had already appeared with varying degrees of cracks.

  If this continues, everyone will have no way out. Looking around at the situation, Leiting anxiously thought to himself.

  "Fire sickle."

  Reitingusu's long sword had several meters of blade length, the blade tip was like a fiery red sickle, directly slashing towards the head of the green crystal beast.

  This is Raiting's strongest move, he intends to go all out.

  Feeling threatened by Ledin, the Green Crystal Beast swings its right claw at Ledin's long sword.

  Others' attacks also didn't hold back, using their strongest moves to slash at the green crystal beast.

  At this time, if you don't go all out, it's no different from looking for death.

  Reitingusu's long sword and Gurīn Kurisutaru's right claw collided heavily.

  "Ding."

  A crisp sound, Reiting's six-grade weapon in his hand broke, his body splattered with blood, and he flew out.

  Cough

  Glaucus and the other five upper-class gods' full-strength blow, heavily struck the Green Crystal Beast's body, the Green Crystal Beast's body finally disintegrated.

  Withdraw.

  Glaus quickly picked up the crystals and crystal cores on the ground, hugged Raitin, and shouted loudly.

  "Dongying, you five are in charge of the rear." Glace ordered quickly.

  "Yes." Dongying nodded and said.

  Then Grass led the men in a swift withdrawal, beginning their flight.
