The Black Desert, notoriously known as the Death Desert, truly had its reasons for such a na. Qin Liuxi had walked here for two hours and encountered countless poisonous creatures, as well as five big and small quicksands. The most annoying part was that these quicksand areas were not fixed, making them impossible to anticipate, and it was only because of Qin Liuxi’s high vigilance and excellent skills that she did not get trapped in quicksand and immobilized.
However, danger often coexists with opportunities. She also found plenty of poisonous items that were hard to trace outside and so dicinal herbs.
Indeed, despite being called a desert, the Black Desert was not entirely devoid of vegetation; although it couldn’t compare to the lush vegetation outside the desert, it did have so rare species.
No wonder there were so many deaths here. Apart from so who had entered by accident, there were also those who knew about the treasures here and had co seeking fortune; after all, fortune cos with risks.
Unfortunately, their desire for wealth could not withstand the harshness of the Black Desert.
"Master, we’ve arrived." The Three Ghosts led Qin Liuxi deep into the desert, pointing to a dune covered in strange, entirely red vegetation and said, "That’s the Golden Scorpion’s den. Just be careful of that tree over there, it eats people."
Qin Liuxi looked at the tree and asked, "You’re all dead, how do you know it eats people?"
"One ti, I saw a Red Sand Snake crawl over, and it was pierced by the tree, breaking the snake’s body. Otherwise, how do you think the tree got so red? That’s all from the blood of living creatures," the female ghost’s pale face was filled with terror.
Qin Liuxi was surprised and looked towards the tree’s roots, indeed finding a pile of bones, so weathered and so very fresh.
This world’s Spiritual Energy was not rich, and yet there was such terrifying vegetation and this strange barrier of the Black Desert.
What kind of place was this?
Qin Liuxi narrowed her eyes, quickly dismissing her doubts, and continued to observe the man-eating tree, unable to see a cave entrance. It seed like the Golden Scorpions had burrowed under this tree; perhaps as this tree drank the blood of living creatures, they too had absorbed so blood, thereby developing such potent poison.
She settled her mind, sat on the ground, took out vermillion, a talisman pen, and yellow paper, and began to draw talismans.
The Black Desert was bizarre, and she dared not take it lightly. That man-eating tree, she didn’t desire to beco its blood slave for nourishnt, so to catch the Golden Scorpion, she had to be clever.
The ghosts floated above her, very curious about what she ant by "being clever."
All they could see was runes; it truly seed like ’ghostly drawings’ to them, incomprehensible yet seemingly very spiritual, as if trying to envelop them.
Qin Liuxi was drawing a trapped talisman. She wanted to use these talismans and the Jade she had to set up an enhanced Heavenly Trap Array, and then lure out the Golden Scorpion to capture it in one fell swoop.
Once her talisman was completed, she started setting up the array around the man-eating tree using Jade as the base and the talismans to strengthen the array. After burying the talismans, she clasped her hands together, stamped her foot and chanted, "Heavenly Circle and Earth Square, with laws in nine Chapters, Heavenly Trap Net ensnares all, from which nothing can escape. I command by the order of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, arise!"
A humming sound.
An invisible force surged towards the sky.
The array activated, and Qin Liuxi then tore a small figure and cast a spell on it before placing it into the array saying, "Go, bring out the Golden Scorpions to see the world."
The little paper figure shakily stood up, nodded at Qin Liuxi, and then headed towards the sand dune.
The ghosts: "..."
So this was possible; no wonder she dared to enter here fearlessly.
Truly an eye-opener.
Could it be that they really had a chance to leave this place to reincarnate?
The Three Ghosts looked at Qin Liuxi with eager eyes.
The little paper figure quickly reached the sand dune, seed to ponder for a mont, then lay down and started to dig.
The sand dune was soon dug into a hole by it, and then it crawled into the hole. Suddenly, the paper figure caught fire.
Rustling sounds.
Soon, there was movent from inside the hole, as sothing swiftly erged.
Qin Liuxi watched intently, and sure enough, several Golden Scorpions erged from under the dune, darting around, but they were confined by the trapping formation and beca visibly agitated, scattering poison liquid in their erratic movents.
Sizzle.
The poison liquid fell on the sand, seemingly corrosive.
Qin Liuxi’s brows furrowed upon seeing this.
The poison of the Golden Scorpion was so potent, how could Quan Jing endure it.
Qin Liuxi threw a talisman among several Golden Scorpions, the talisman ignited, and the movent of the Golden Scorpions was imdiately hindered, becoming very slow.
Then she took out a Jade Box and picked up a pair of silver chopsticks. To avoid the Golden Scorpions from rushing up and stinging, with a thought, her hand seed to be wrapped in blazing flas, deterring all things from approaching.
The three ghosts, seeing the fla, trembled and felt insubstantial, involuntarily drifting further away.
How terrifying, their souls felt as if they were being scorched.
The Golden Scorpions also didn’t dare to move and trembled.
Qin Liuxi smoothly used the chopsticks to pick them up and placed them into the Jade Box, closed the lid, and put it in the backpack she carried.
Success.
She put away the chopsticks satisfactorily, checked the trapping formation, glanced at the cave, and ignored the small Golden Scorpions that hadn’t escaped yet; four were enough.
Qin Liuxi then turned to the three ghosts: "Where is the old demon’s territory?"
"Master, you have already acquired the Golden Scorpions, do you still want to go there?" The three ghosts shivered as they advised, "Why not head back ho? The Black Sand Demon is very powerful."
Qin Liuxi coughed and said, "Since we’ve co all this way, now that we’re at soone’s doorstep, it would be impolite not to enter. It’s only polite to pay a visit."
Three ghosts: "?"
To speak offensively, we feel like you’re more here to stir up trouble.
"Lead the way quickly, it’s getting dark, and I’m hungry," Qin Liuxi said disdainfully looking at the three ghosts.
The three ghosts looked at each other and drifted forward miserably, fearing today they might end up on the old demon’s territory.
Qin Liuxi followed them, and as the sun was about to set, she arrived in front of an oasis, and what made her eyes sparkle was that she saw the legendary kind of Spirit Fruit.
The Purple Gold Tao Fruit, essential for the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Truly, endlessly searching everywhere, effortless upon finding.
This Black Desert indeed is a treasure trove; the surprises it brought her were significant.
The three ghosts watched Qin Liuxi dash towards the center of the lake, the male ghost pale-faced said, "It’s over, she’s not here to cause trouble, she’s here to raid the old demon’s lair!
"Let’s escape, even if we can’t make it out of this desert, it’s better than being ripped apart by the old demon."
The male ghost was just about to speak when suddenly his face changed, "Not good, the old demon is coming."
"Master, co back quickly, run!"
Qin Liuxi wouldn’t go back, the Purple Gold Tao Fruit, whoever competes with her for it, she would get furious!
She arrived at the center of the lake, staring at the Dao Fruit which was shining with a purple-golden light in the dying sun, her eyes also glinted with a golden light, and she reached out her hand.
This object was fated to be hers.
"Damn it, where did this little thief co from, daring to steal Laozi’s Purple Gold Tao Fruit, seeking death!" A water arrow like a snake shot towards Qin Liuxi’s hand, accompanied by a fierce Ice Blade.
Qin Liuxi retracted her hand, her gaze intensified, and she looked over.
