C1854 Resentment
The attack came from below the desert, and it would be safe to get out of a certain range.
The Golden-Winged Eagle landed on a wasteland.
Exhaustion appeared on the faces of Mu Chen and the other two.
The long journey was already very tiring, and they did not want to continue this kind of unsubstantial battle.
Yun Wuya casually asked.
"Can we go around the edge of the desert and head to Shennong's residence?"
"If you have enough time, you can do that."
"What worries me the most is that the shape of the desert is irregular. If you walk around the edge, you might run somewhere else."
The culprit behind the attack might be hiding underground.
Since the mutated Iron Wire Worms had already sensed them, they might as well think of a way to lure them out.
The three of them rested for a while.
Only when the scorching sun turned into a gentle sunset glow did the irritating atmosphere ease up a little.
Yun Wuya used a fishing rod to tie up a fist-sized hollow metal ball that was emitting a strange fragrance.
He was very confident in the use of this treasure.
"The fragrance sachet can change the smell of the target according to their preferences. Except for human martial artists with high intelligence, it's effective on almost all demon beasts."
"Use the fishing rod to pull out the enemies below and see what their true colors are."
"Alright, alright, alright. Senior Yun, feel free to make your move."
Mu Chen and Wan Mingzhu could not help but retreat a hundred meters back as they stared blankly at the sand dune.
The hollow metal ball was like an agile mouse. It shook a few times before drilling into the sand dune. Only the fishing line that was connected to it was able to determine where it went.
After descending for several hundred meters, the metal ball found a large ancient city ruin.
From the dilapidated buildings, it could be inferred that the main purpose of this city was similar to the current battle fortress.
The number of bones and weapons scattered all over the place was very exaggerated.
It was very likely that a massacre had taken place here, but there was no way to determine the identities of the two parties involved in the battle.
The population of the city had been completely wiped out, and then there was the change of the world. The desert had covered everything.
Yun Wuya's mental energy covered the surface of the metal ball and understood the situation below.
The white bones on the ground kept giving off a bitter aura, which gathered together and turned into a power with consciousness.
It was going to attack all the targets that entered this domain.
"This is really bad."
"There's no way to reason with the resentment. We can only completely destroy them."
"How are we going to deal with this desert?"
"The sand can create countless weapons. It's more than enough to bury us alive."
No matter how much he thought about it, he could only use the special attributes of the beast to push the sand away.
The three of them could directly attack the bones that were emitting resentment.
Once the battle plan was set up, the operation began.
The mutated Ironthread Worm spat out a colorful ball of light from its mouth and silently landed on the sand dune.
It could suppress the power of hatred for a short amount of time and make the sand return to its natural state.
After that, the desert within dozens of kilometers started to surge, hoping that it was boiling water.
The Ice Snow Dragon, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and the Golden Winged Eagle had all expanded their bodies by several hundred times.
They spread their huge wings and waved them wildly in the air.
The wind kicked up a lot of sand and dust and blew it further away. It was like they were digging into the ground.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
"Whiz, whiz, whiz... Whiz, whiz, whiz... Whiz, whiz, whiz..."
A short knife shining with a cold light broke out of the ground and pierced towards the three beasts in the sky.
The owner of the knife and sword was a warrior who had died in the city, so he could be easily controlled by the resentment.
The beasts shook off a lot of feathers at the same time, which carried a powerful force, which made their destructive effect almost the same as the sharp daggers.
The two continuously collided in the sky, producing a clear metallic sound.
"The dead ghosts can no longer hold themselves back, and the sand is almost all moved."
"Let's get ready to start now."
Mu Chen borrowed the power of the Ice and Snow Dragon's Breath, allowing the extremely low temperature airflow to surge into the sand pit.
In the blink of an eye, a few meters thick layer of ice covered the ground, suppressing all the bones that were lying on the ground.
Wan Mingzhu also used her palm wind to help Mu Chen apply pressure.
The two of them seemed to have the upper hand, but after only persisting for a dozen seconds, they felt as if their palms were being bitten by thousands of poisonous insects.
The Resentment of Death silently passed through the physical obstacles and reached the two of them.
"Senior Yun, what are you waiting for?"
"The two of us can't hold on for too long. There are too many dead, and the mental pressure from the Death Resentment can easily affect our minds."
"Calm down, calm down. The treasure has been taken out."
A string of Buddha beads appeared in Yun Wuya's hand. Each of them was the size of a grape.
They were round and smooth, with a deep red color. One could tell that they were extraordinary just by looking at them.
The layer of ice in the sandpit was about to collapse, and numerous honeycomb-like holes appeared on it.
A faint purple gas was slowly emitted from it. This was the resentment that had already formed a physical form.
"Ten Thousand Evils belong to nature, Ten Thousand Laws belong to Xu Mi."1
Yun Wuya roared loudly and threw the Buddha beads into the air.
The holy golden light reflected a solemn Buddha statue that landed on the layer of ice with the pressure of Mount Tai.
The resentment had not even touched the Buddha statue's body before it evaporated without a trace. Even the skeleton could not withstand such a powerful pressure and was shattered into pieces.
Mu Chen was stunned by the power of the treasure.
This was not the power of Yun Wuya's main body, but the power of his weapon.
"Where did Senior Yun steal the good stuff again?"
"It's still very practical."
"Hahaha, these are Buddha beads left behind by the ascenders of the Hidden Cloud Temple before they left. The baldies worship them day and night, and absorb the essence of the Buddha."
"Are you kidding me? These ancient martial arts sects are my hardcore allies and I'm going to kill them."
In Mu Chen's mind, he thought of the elders of the Hidden Cloud Temple, Blood Fiend Valley, Dark Ghost Sect, and Peach Blossom Dock who had once fought side by side with him.
The ancient martial arts sects played a huge role in dealing with the robbery.
Now was not the time to sigh with emotion.
Yun Wuya felt that a sand dune a few kilometers away was shaking even more violently.
An even more powerful enemy was about to appear.
The three demonic beasts that were flying in the sky were the first to notice that something was wrong. The remaining purple aura did not attack the golden Buddha statue. Instead, it gathered in the direction of the vibration.
When the energy accumulated to an astonishing degree.
A tall and sturdy mummy drilled out of the sand. It was wearing a tattered armor and holding a rusty axe.
