Chapter 1178 – Sand Beast Riot
Compared to the huge number of sand wolves, the sand snakes were much better to deal with.
A nest of sand snakes is at most a dozen or so, easily taken by the vines.
After clearing out a few nests of sand snakes, Xu Chuniang casually put away the sand snake corpses and accidentally found some sand snake eggs.
She unceremoniously collected all the sand snake eggs.
These sand snake eggs were a good thing, bringing them back to Sand City would definitely be a hot commodity.
Not only could they be eaten directly, but they could also be hatched into sand snakes and tamed and taken in.
After sweeping through a dozen or so snake nests, in order to avoid luring out the Demon King level snake king, Xu Chunniang saw fit to lead the vines out of the Firethorn Forest.
There were plenty of sand beasts in the Imprisoned Sand Mountain, so there was no need to catch the same kind of sand beast and kill them vigorously.
Xu Chuniang led the Soul Breath Vines to walk in the roiling yellow sand, and from time to time, she would find some sand beasts to kill, and hardened the crisis-ridden Prisoner’s Sand Mountain into a treasure trove of sand beasts.
During this period, she encountered several Demon King level sand beasts, and even fought with an injured Sand Scorpion King, successfully chopped off one of the pincers of the Sand Scorpion King, and retreated.
This pincer of the Sand Scorpion King became the biggest harvest of her trip.
This kind of life lasted for six whole years, until one day, she realized that the sand beasts around her had become restless, and Devil King level sand beasts began to appear frequently, before she hit the road back to Sand City.
Sand City looked no different from before.
Six years was too short a time to leave any traces on the city, whatsoever.
Rock Light received a summons and hurriedly arrived, handing over a wooden box respectfully.
“Elder, inside here is the Extreme Magic Crystal you asked for, but Extreme Magic Crystals are too scarce, and the Jin Yun Merchant Guild doesn’t have much in stock, so this time around, they only exchanged it for these two.”
Xu Chuniang took the wooden box, opened it and glanced at it before putting it away.
In these six years, although she hadn’t returned to Sand City, every once in a while, she would send a message to Rock Light, informing him of her location and handing over the harvest she had obtained to him to dispose of.
Rock Light did not fail to live up to her regard, things were accomplished excellently, and many things that she did not command were done on her own initiative.
“You have done well.”
Together with these two, she already had as many as twenty Extreme Magic Crystals on hand.
All of them were exchanged for her by Rock Light little by little over the past few years.
Xu Chuniang took out a vial and threw it to Rock Light, “Newly obtained a little bit of sand honey, the flavor is good, try it.”
Yan Guang’s work was sharp and he was obedient, so she didn’t mind giving him some more favors.
Iwaguang received the vial, his face showed surprise, this sand honey, is a rare good thing in the Prisoner Sand Mountain.
Taking sand honey, not only can it be used to restore demonic energy, it can also calm the mind and nourish the soul.
If used more often, it could even directly enhance one’s cultivation level.
Unfortunately, the sand bee thing was too ferocious, and there were hundreds of them in a nest.
Anything that dares to hit the honey idea, mess with their cultivators, not dead also have to take off layers of skin, which also directly leads to, the price of sand honey has been high.
On such a small bottle, to say the least have to be good two or three million magic crystals, often also have a price without market.
Rock Light treasured the sand honey away, “Many thanks to senior for the reward, senior this time back to Sand City, how long are you going to stay?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, “During this recent period of time, have you ever heard any rumors in the city?”
Yan Guang’s complexion stared, and shook his head after careful consideration, “Everything in the city is as usual, but the prices of pills and herbs, seem to be on an upward trend ……” Speaking here, Rock Light thought of a certain possibility, and his face changed slightly.
Under normal circumstances, the prices of pills and herbs in the city were stable, unless …… the cultivators who had recently gone out to hunt sand beasts had been injured more frequently than in the past, which would cause the prices of herbs to fluctuate.
He tentatively asked, “Could it be that the sand beast tide is coming?”
Influenced by the law of the Imprisoned Sand Mountain, the sand beasts that lived here would riot every once in a while.
Initially, the Imprisoned Sand Mountain was the world of sand beasts, where people were rare and very few cultivators would come here, and the sand beasts that were caught up in the chaos would have a melee with the other sand beast groups under the trend of the beast kings.
As more and more cultivators came to Prisoner Sand Mountain in search of treasure, Sand City was born.
The existence of the Sand City was a natural shelter for the cultivators, but in the eyes of a group of Beast Kings, this city standing on top of the yellow sand was an eyesore.
That’s why after the sand city was built, the sand beasts no longer killed each other, but were driven by the beast kings to come and attack the sand city.
Until all the sand beasts regained their senses, this melee between sand beasts and cultivators would not be declared over.
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, “I have observed and found that a portion of the sand beasts, have recently begun to be restless, I think that it won’t be long before a new wave of sand beasts will be coming.”
The conjecture in his heart was verified, and Yan Guang’s mood was a bit complicated, he had stayed in Sand City for more than a hundred years, and had experienced two Sand Beast Tides in their entirety.
Every time the Sand Beast Tide came, a lot of people had to die in the city.
If it wasn’t for the fact that those sand beasts would take the initiative to withdraw after regaining their senses, Sand City would have long been flattened by them.
I don’t know how many more cultivators will die in the mouths of the sand beasts when the sand bug tide comes this time.
“Do you need me to make some preparations in advance and acquire some more pills to prepare?”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “No need, you can just prepare your own share. The Sand Beasts are restless, the Sand Beast Tide could start at any time, so you instruct the remaining few people to beware.
This time, the goods will not be given to you first, wait until the sand beast tide has passed.”
“Yes, I know, if senior doesn’t have any other important matters, or you can enter the city earlier.”
Rock Light had experienced two Sand Beast Tides and knew how to maximize his life in a battle.
When a sand beast tide came, the ones who died were often the outermost group of cultivators.
The earlier they entered the city, the safer they would be.
“Don’t worry, I know in my heart.”
Xu Chuniang naturally wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that she could fight off an entire wave of sand beasts on her own.
Sand beasts caught in a riot were crazy and irrational, and once surrounded by them, even a Demon King level powerhouse would have to pay a certain price if they wanted to get away.
After seeing the rock light leave, Xu Chuniang directly entered the city and went to the largest smithy workshop in the city.
The store’s fellow immediately greeted him, his face filled with a warm smile.
“Customer, please come inside, this store has a large number of magic weapons for sale, what style would you like to buy? Or if you brought your own magic materials, our refiner in the store can also customize it for you.”
Xu Chuniang took out a handful of heavy stones and casually placed them on the stone table.
A “click” was heard, and the stone table was overburdened, and was directly torn apart by the heavy stones!
Xu Chuniang’s movements stalled, “What is the value of this stone table, I will compensate you.”
The fellow looked at the heavy stones on the stone table, secretly estimating the weight of the heavy stones, and in his heart, he gained a deeper understanding of Xu Chuniang’s strength.
