Chapter Fifty-One: Quicksand Trap

  Whoosh!

  The sword energy didn't last long in the quicksand and soon drilled back, returning to Wang Xuan Yang's true acupoint.

  The entire process was only two breaths' time, and can be described as swift as lightning. This is the benefit of opening up a true cavity. If there wasn't a true cavity, he would have to condense his sword energy first, which would take at least five or six breaths' time, and it would be impossible to complete the entire process in such a short amount of time. Moreover, the sword energy wouldn't even be able to reach this level of refinement.

  At the moment when his sword energy was just withdrawn, the place where the sword energy had strangled suddenly shook violently and collapsed, forming a sand pit with a diameter of about one zhang. A powerful invisible suction force transmitted from the sand pit, causing the surrounding quicksand to rotate rapidly under its effect, forming a terrifying quicksand whirlpool that was still expanding rapidly. Everyone present hastily retreated, for if they were sucked into this whirlpool, it would be no laughing matter.

  They retreated hundreds of meters away, and it wasn't until then that everyone came back to their senses from the shocking scene. When they looked again at the quicksand whirlpool, it had already expanded to a range of about ten zhang. The expansion speed of the quicksand whirlpool gradually slowed down, finally forming a funnel-shaped sand pit over ten zhang in size and seven or eight zhang deep.

  Everyone's heart still had lingering fear, and their gaze towards Wang Xuan Yang became grateful.

  If it weren't for Wang Xuanyang's reminder, once the sand trap is triggered, with this expansion speed and that suction force, I'm afraid only a few elite disciples can escape, and they must be relatively far away from the center of the sand trap. As for new people, I'm afraid none of them will be able to escape.

  "Xuanyang Shidi, how did you find out?"

  Fat Master's eyes lit up, and even he didn't notice the sand pit, but Wang Xuan Yang detected it in advance and accurately found the center of the sand pit.

  The quicksand is very special. Even if you enter the range of the quicksand, it will not be triggered unless you step on the central area.

  He thought of something deeper. If Wang Xuan Yang could sense the existence of quicksand, wouldn't that mean they didn't have to worry about hidden quicksand in the sea of flowing sand?

  He even suspected that Wang Xuanyang had sensed the Sand Beast.

  Although it's just a suspicion, but this is really shocking, if true, how great would be the benefits?

  Seeing Fat Shixiong's fiery gaze, Wang Xuanyang knew that the astute Fat Shixiong had already suspected him.

  "I don't know either, it's just a feeling, suddenly I can sense that there will be quicksand over there."

  Wang Xuanyang would certainly not reveal the truth, although he believed in Fat Brother's character, but the information about Hunyuan Symbol Dao was too important and absolutely could not be leaked out.

  "Premonition?"

  Fat Master and others were shocked.

  "Could it be the legendary Heavenly Fate Symbol?"

  Suddenly, Fat Brother seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.

  "What is Tianming Fu?"

  Others didn't know, Lin Zidan and others said strangely.

  "Oh, I also saw it in a classic book, but I didn't quite understand it. However, based on the description, it seems to be similar to the performance of Master Xuan Yang."

  Fat Shixiong seemed unwilling to say more and shook his head.

  Lin Zidan, He Xu and Zhou Tong exchanged a glance, and didn't ask any more questions. From their understanding of Yan Pao, there must be some kind of sinister connection.

  "Xuanyang Shidi, regarding the premonition, it's best if you don't mention it to others, especially in front of outsiders. Of course, if it's Master Feng himself, then there's no need."

  Fat Master used his spiritual power to transmit a sound, reminding Wang Xuan Yang.

  "I understand."

  Wang Xuanyang sensed the seriousness in Fat Brother's tone.

  With the Heaven's Fate Symbol Technique as cover, there was no need to worry about leaking out the secret that spiritual energy could flow unimpeded through the quicksand.

  With Wang Xuan Yang's so-called premonition, the upcoming quicksand sea became much safer.

  Moreover, Wang Xuanyang increased the intensity of his 'premonition', even the sand beasts could sense it, some sand beasts that even the fat masters couldn't detect were sensed by Wang Xuanyang.

  With Wang Xuanyang's premonition helping, the hunt became even smoother.

  With that, Fat Master, the leader, redefined the allocation ratio of Sha Jing. The previous allocation method was to hunt for Sha Jing, and the four elite disciples occupied 99%, while the remaining 1% was shared equally by Wang Xuanyang and several other newcomers. If the newcomers performed well in the task, they could also receive additional rewards.

  Wang Xuanyang's premonition was now a huge help, and he had obtained the same allocation qualifications as the four elite disciples.

  That is to say, in those ninety percent of Sha Jing, he can get one-fifth.

  Lin Zidan and the other two naturally wouldn't have any objections. Although Wang Xuan Yang had taken a portion of theirs, with his premonition, not only did their danger greatly decrease, but also increased the success rate of hunting the Sand Beasts.

  As for the other newcomers, they were just envious and couldn't help but feel grateful to Wang Xuanyang for saving their lives.

  Wang Xuanyang got a sufficient allocation ratio, and he was naturally satisfied. This way, this task would have a good harvest.

  He detected the sand beast, and the sand trap became even more intense.

  With Wang Xuan Yang's premonition, the group advanced faster and faster in the Flowing Sand Sea, their efficiency in hunting sand beasts grew higher and higher, and they gradually formed a set of coordinated methods.

  In just half a day, the group had hunted and killed more than 20 sand beasts, including one two-eyed sand beast.

  This two-eyed sand beast is far from comparable to a one-eyed sand beast.

  If it weren't for Wang Xuan Yang's premonition, this desert beast would probably have caused casualties to the team.

  It took all four elite disciples joining forces to barely kill it.

  This two-eyed sand beast contributed a two-eyed sand crystal, which is worth 3,000 contribution points. The team's total sand crystal haul was worth over 4,000 contribution points.

  That's quite a significant contribution.

  It's only been half a day, and according to the rules of small changes in the Quicksand Sea, the edge of the Quicksand Sea can probably be calm for three to five days.

  "Haha, with Xuan Yang's premonition, this sea of quicksand has become safe. Now I hope the sand beasts come in greater numbers!"

  Lin Zidan burst out laughing.

  The greatest danger of the sand beast lies in its ability to lie dormant in quicksand, making it difficult to detect. If it didn't have this dormant trait, the threat posed by the sand beast would be greatly reduced.

  "It's a pity that up till now, I've only encountered one two-eyed sand beast, let alone three-eyed ones, which are nowhere to be seen."

  He Xiu's cold and stern face also had a smile on it.

  "Whatever you do, don't run into a three-eyed sand beast, I haven't lived enough yet!"

  Zhou Tong smiled and said.

  Three-eyed sand beast, comparable to a low-level symbol master, is not something that this group of high-level symbol masters can contend with.

  "Alas, unfortunately, we haven't encountered any skeletal remains so far!"

  Fat master brother sighed.

  Everyone is also depressed, although Sha Jing can be exchanged for contribution value, if you can find the remains of the skeleton, maybe you can make a big profit.

  But in this vast desert, it's not that easy to find them. They are only at the edge of the quicksand sea, and the real treasures are basically hidden deep inside.

  Wang Xuanyang was also very strange, his spiritual power was always detecting in the desert, and he really didn't find anything like skeletal remains.

  At this moment, in the distance ahead, a crimson light burst into the sky, and faintly visible within that crimson light was a faint sword shadow suspended.

  .....
