Underneath a hidden sand dune, Zhang Ling sat on the ground, examining the two storage pouches he had just obtained.
The items in the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) person's storage pouch were disorganized. Zhang Ling only took a fancy to a single superb flying knife magic weapon. The remaining items were not worth paying attention to.
He also finished checking the other storage pouch in a short while.
There weren't many items inside, besides a few pieces of clothing and over a thousand low-grade spirit stones. The rest were some spiritual talismans and pills. Most of them were ordinary items, but a cyan jade bottle caught Zhang Ling's attention.
With a flash of spiritual light in his hand, the cyan jade bottle arrived in his hand.
This jade bottle had a yellow spiritual talisman pasted on it. This was a spiritual talisman to prevent spiritual power from dissipating. Such careful preservation indicated that the pills in the bottle were not ordinary items.
Zhang Ling opened the jade bottle, and a pungent smell assaulted his nostrils. Zhang Ling quickly held his breath and focused his mind, in case it was some poisonous or harmful pill.
There were five or six purplish-black pills in the bottle. Zhang Ling carefully examined them and found that they were not poisonous pills, but they were not ordinary pills either. These few purplish-black pills had a thick demonic energy attached to them.
Could they be pills used by the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people?
Zhang Ling had this thought in his mind, but then he rejected it. Although most of the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) race cultivated demonic path techniques.
But in the end, they were just humans whose bodies had undergone mutations. They also cultivated the five elements attributes. It's just that after being refined by demonic techniques, they were often extremely overbearing.
As for the pills taken by the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people, he also found two or three bottles in the storage pouch of the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) person just now, and they were no different from the pills they took.
It is said that only some high-level Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people would directly take pills with demonic energy.
After all, this world is still dominated by spiritual energy, and demonic energy is scarce. This kind of pill was definitely not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could obtain.
Looking at the purplish-black pills in his hand, he wondered how they could be in the hands of a cultivator from the Immortal City.
Could it be that this person also cultivated demonic path techniques? He wondered if this kind of pill was refined by the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people or by this person.
Zhang Ling guessed, but naturally no one gave him an answer.
Afterward, he put the cyan jade bottle back into the storage pouch and waited until he left this place to study it.
In the next two or three days, Zhang Ling flew all the way towards the territory of the human race. The direction was east, which was the only direction he could confirm.
Fortunately, heaven did not disappoint those who put in the effort. After flying for seven or eight days, he finally saw other people.
Although they were Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people, and a group of mortals at that. There were three or four thousand of them. They were marching mightily towards the east.
At first, Zhang Ling was still a little apprehensive, but after he carefully investigated, there were only a dozen cultivators in this group of mortals, and their strength was low. Only one white-haired old woman was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, which posed no threat to him.
Then he remembered some rumors that the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) race would also drive a large number of mortals during each invasion.
Although the ordinary people of the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) race cannot become cultivators, their bodies have long been demonized by demonic energy. After birth, their body strength is stronger than that of the human race. Adult ordinary people can easily carry five or six hundred pounds of things.
The Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people, regardless of men, women, old or young, will cultivate horizontal training techniques to enhance their physical strength.
This is actually the martial arts that Zhang Ling cultivated in the secular world, but the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people are more inclined to physical exercise.
These are actually for the benefit of the high-level cultivators of the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) race, just to allow ordinary Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people to better survive in harsh environments.
And every time they attack the human race, the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people will organize many mortals into temporary tribes. Taking advantage of the fact that the human race cultivators cannot attend to other things, they go to seize various cultivator resources.
In this way, even if the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people fail and return after a period of time, they will not return empty-handed.
This kind of robbery-like behavior makes the human race cultivators very headache. But for a while, they cannot distract themselves to take care of this matter.
After all, if there are too few cultivators sent to guard these places, they are likely to be annihilated by the high-level cultivators of the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) race.
If too many cultivators are sent, it will affect the war between the cultivators of the major Immortal Cities and the main force of the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people.
The only feasible way is to wait for these mortals to seize the spiritual stone resources and other mines, and then send cultivators to retake them.
A large number of mortals will be killed or injured in this process. Unfortunately, these Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) race people do not care about the deaths and injuries of ordinary people at all.
After a batch is destroyed, they will immediately reorganize another batch, which is simply exchanging human lives for these precious resources.
Moreover, they also set traps from time to time to severely damage the human race cultivators who come to retake the mines.
As a result, after losing many cultivators, the human race simply turned a blind eye to this matter. Anyway, in a short period of time, no matter how crazy these mortals mine, they cannot take away much resources and spiritual stones.
As long as the main battlefield wins against the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people, these mortals will also retreat obediently.
The team of thousands of mortals that Zhang Ling discovered was a temporary tribe organized by the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people to seize resources in the territory of the human race.
Looking at the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people marching all the way to the east, Zhang Ling's mind raced.
It seems that some strongholds on the Immortal City side have been breached. Like the Red Rock Mountain and Green Moon Lake where they were stationed before, these places with Demon Sealing Stones have probably been breached.
Only when these small strongholds with Demon Sealing Stones are breached will loopholes appear in the Lianshan Great Array of the Twelve Immortal Cities.
Zhang Ling lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he formed a hand seal. His figure disappeared into thin air.
Soon after, he appeared in a wooden cart filled with sundries in this group of mortals.
The wooden cart was more than two zhang tall, and three or four zhang long and wide. It was covered with some animal skins, which tightly shielded the entire cart.
And the one pulling the wooden cart was not an ordinary ox or horse, but a unicorn black horse.
"This is a Horned Demon Steed, which is a mutated ordinary horse and has long been tamed by the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people."
In addition to this kind of Horned Demon Steed, the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people's team also has a kind of huge yellow-skinned lizard, which also serves as a means of transportation.
Zhang Ling hid in the wooden cart, which contained many tools such as iron picks and iron shovels. He cleared out a space of half a zhang in it and sat cross-legged in it.
After thinking about it, the current situation is very close to the edge of the Black Cloud Desert.
Often this moment is the most dangerous. I don't know how many such Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people teams are around.
If he directly flies across, it would be inappropriate, and it would be troublesome to encounter high-level cultivators. Now that he is hiding in this team of mortals, although the speed of advance is much slower, the danger is greatly reduced.
Presumably no one will pay attention to such a team of mortals. Even if there are occasional Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people to check, as long as they are not high-level cultivators, he can be safe and sound.
In this kind of team, there will be no high-level cultivators of the Yi Demon(异魔: non-human demon) people, after all, no one can imagine that a human race cultivator will return from the depths of the desert to the human race gathering place.
