Chapter Fifty: A Glance of Sandy Crystal

  "Generally speaking, the dangers from the Sea of Quicksand are sand beasts and hidden quicksand traps. Of course, foreign warriors and treasure hunters are also a great danger, and they are the main danger. Entering here, killing people and stealing goods is normal."

  He Xu's tone of voice had a hint of murderous intent, and he seemed to be looking forward to killing people and plundering their goods.

  All newcomers who participated in the task for the first time were nervous, after all, it was a fight among peers, and they had not really experienced it before.

  This task is their first trial by fire.

  This is also a way for the Unspoken Sect to lead newcomers to do more dangerous tasks, which can strengthen their tempering and make newcomers feel the cruelty and danger of the cultivation world.

  Otherwise, letting newcomers work alone would result in a death rate that is just too high.

  "So in the desert of flowing sand, once we encounter people who pose a threat to us, absolutely do not show mercy, annihilate them all, otherwise being kind to the enemy is being cruel to ourselves and our own people, understand?"

  He Xugu's tone was icy cold, exuding a kind of stern aura.

  It made all the newcomers present feel a chill run down their spines, and they felt even more of He Xiu's true side.

  "Alright, don't scare them either."

  Fat master smiled slightly, looking very kind.

  Suddenly, Wang Xuanyang's spiritual power suddenly sensed that there was a sand beast lurking in the quicksand ahead. Just as he was about to remind him, Fat Brother seemed to have noticed something and suddenly, a sword aura rose from his body, this sword aura was very strange, like a short and thick door panel, round and rolling, if it wasn't for the air of the sword path, I'm afraid it would be mistaken for some other symbol power!

  Wang Xuanyang and others were all stunned, Fat Brother's sword energy was really special!

  However, the sword energy was extraordinary in power. As soon as it appeared, a very frightening shockwave formed and suddenly slammed into the quicksand in front of it. Instantly, a large area of quicksand shook violently, and countless tiny sword energies could be seen radiating through the quicksand.

  Wang Xuanyang was extremely surprised, what a wonderful swordsmanship! It seemed that at the moment of the attack's power explosion, the originally condensed sword energy suddenly decomposed into pure sword energy units. However, these sword energy units were not truly split, but rather had a mysterious connection, like a symbol array, which caused the sword energy's power to increase several times.

  The sword energy lasted for a moment, and then a burst of quicksand suddenly exploded, raising a large cloud of dust. Then, the sword energy re-condensed and returned to Fat Brother's body. At the same time, on Fat Brother's hand, there was an additional strange crystal.

  This crystal presents an elliptical shape, roughly the size of a small thumb, with diamond edges and a golden color like flowing sand. It is extremely brilliant and beautiful. The most peculiar thing is that inside this crystal, there is a strange shadow image that looks like an eye.

  One-eyed sand crystal, possessed by the lowest-level sand beast.

  One Starlight Crystal, worth 50 contribution points.

  "Hehe, good luck, encountered a sand beast so quickly, unfortunately it's the lowest level one-eyed sand beast."

  Fat master smiled and put this sand crystal into his arms.

  He didn't have a ring of Sumeru, he could only carry it with him.

  Wang Xuanyang's heart moved slightly, it seemed that Fat Master and the others had a way to detect the existence of the Sand Beast.

  In this way, one doesn't need to remind oneself, otherwise it would seem out of the ordinary.

  The crowd continued to move forward, and Fat Brother would explain how to detect the presence of sand beasts while on high alert, such as how to kill sand beasts and how to identify quicksand traps in advance, benefiting Wang Xuanyang and others greatly.

  "We have already ventured five miles into the sea of quicksand, this is our limit, if we go any deeper, not only will the quicksand traps increase, but all sorts of dangers will also occur."

  Fat brother suddenly stopped.

  Along the way, they encountered two one-eyed sand beasts again, but were killed by Lin Zidan and He Xu respectively. Apart from this, there was no other danger, not even quicksand traps.

  Wang Xuanyang looked ahead and indeed, if it was the place he had just passed by, the wind was calm and the sand in front of him seemed to be slowly flowing.

  "Let's go that way."

  Fat Master pointed in one direction.

  After advancing for a while, several senior brothers hunted and killed another sand beast, but they were all one-eyed.

  Wang Xuanyang and others also began to have some experience, of course, they still couldn't hunt alone, they were unable to perceive the subtle changes in the quicksand through spiritual power, and detect the existence of the sand beast in advance.

  This is not just a difference in experience, but also a gap in spiritual cultivation.

  Suddenly, Wang Xuanyang's spiritual power moved violently, sensing that beneath the calm quicksand in front of him was hidden a quicksand pit.

  This quicksand trap is extremely dangerous and even harder to detect than a sandworm.

  Because quicksand traps are completely stationary in the absence of any disturbance and exist at some position below a layer of quicksand, only when an external force acts directly on this quicksand trap will it start to operate.

  This quicksand trap is not an ordinary sand pit in the desert, but contains mysterious natural forces.

  Once caught in quicksand, it is difficult to escape.

  Of course, quicksand traps also have their strengths and weaknesses. A powerful quicksand trap is absolutely a place of certain death.

  Wang Xuanyang's spiritual power sensed that this quicksand trap was not strong, but for them, once they fell in, it was certain death. Even Fat Brother didn't have the strength to escape from the quicksand trap.

  Fat Master is walking in the front, seemingly unaware of the quicksand trap ahead.

  "Wait a minute, Fat Master."

  Just as Fat Brother was about to enter the quicksand trap's trigger range, Wang Xuan Yang rode forward and blocked Fat Brother.

  "What's wrong, Brother Xuanyang?"

  Fat brother stopped and looked puzzled on his chubby face.

  "Big brother, I feel like there's a quicksand trap ahead."

  At this time, Wang Xuanyang naturally couldn't hide his clumsiness and had to make some show of himself. Although it might raise suspicions, in this treacherous sea of quicksand, any slight mistake could lead to fatal danger.

  Moreover, if he performs well, it is possible that more contribution value can be allocated to him.

  Otherwise, just follow like this, without any chance to take action, isn't it a waste of doing the task? Although for newcomers, this is very normal, but he now owes a large sum of debt!

  A debt of one day makes you ill at ease for a whole day.

  Opportunities depend on oneself to grasp them.

  "Quicksand trap?"

  Fat Shixiong's face changed slightly, and the other elite disciples also became tense, not daring to move again, afraid of triggering the quicksand trap.

  They would rather encounter a sand beast than a quicksand trap, the edge of the sea of quicksand with slight changes. Due to some special reasons, the quicksand traps on the edge of the sea of quicksand are still rare. If they really encountered one, it can only be said that their luck was extremely bad.

  Seeing the puzzled look on everyone's faces, Wang Xuan Yang knew what they were thinking. After all, spiritual power couldn't detect it, and they could only rely on their eyesight and spiritual power to sense the vibrations of the quicksand to find the sand beast or sand trap. The sand beast was easy enough, but finding a sand trap was much harder. Without any activation, it was almost indistinguishable from normal quicksand.

  He made a mental move and connected with the sword energy in the true hole, instantly a sword energy shot out and directly slammed onto the flowing sand in front of him.

  He didn't have the control and magical means of his fat senior brother, relying solely on the pure attack of his sword energy. In an instant, a large area of flowing sand was blown open by the sword energy, which seemed like a snow-white sword dragon rolling and wandering in the sand.

  Originally, the quicksand contained a strange and unusual resistance that would rapidly consume the power of the symbols. However, Wang Xuan Yang's Chaotic True Seed was extremely peculiar and could actually resolve this resistance, causing Wang Xuan Yang's sword energy consumption to drop to its lowest level. Even if it were to be replaced by Fat Master Brother, an advanced explosive symbol master, he would still be far from achieving this level, which is where his advantage lies.
