After flying for more than an hour, he had already crossed a little more than half of the area.
Just as he bypassed a few huge skeletons entangled together, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, and a gray shadow pounced straight at him.
Zhang Ling didn't panic at all, just shook the flying sword a few times, and five or six sword lights slashed out. The gray shadow was instantly dismembered into several pieces, scattering a patch of black blood.
Only then did he look at the remains on the ground. This was a strange wild beast. It looked like a monster rat, about ten feet in size(丈: approximately meters).
There was a layer of gray-white film between the four claws of this beast, which seemed to have gliding ability. And the head was even more strange, it looked like a snake's triangular head, with thick bone spurs on it, which extended to the tail.
This wild beast looked a bit like a soil armor rat, and a bit like a carrion snake.
It is not strange to find this kind of wild beast that cannot be named in places with strong turbid air.
Wild beasts are basically mutated from monster beasts. After so many years of evolution, many species have mutated and formed new wild beasts.
Many human race cultivators study the types of these wild beasts, and some even compile them into books, recording the strengths, weaknesses, magical powers, and weaknesses of the wild beasts. This kind of wild beast illustrated book can also be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones in the market.
Zhang Ling looked at this strange wild beast that attacked him, and judged from the remaining spiritual power fluctuations that it was a fourth-order wild beast.
He didn't stay where he was, and flew forward directly.
Along the way, he encountered many wild beasts that looked like rats, as well as another kind of giant snake with a gray-white body, and a kind of red vulture.
Fortunately, he did not encounter high-level wild beasts, and he passed through the ancient bone area safely for half an hour, and finally arrived in front of Sand City.
This is a stone city, the thick city walls on both sides are dilapidated, and there are potholes everywhere. Large sections of the city walls have collapsed, and many wild beast corpses are scattered around, it seems that this city has been breached before.
This sand city also covers a large area, but the city gate is still relatively intact, and there is a broken plaque on it, with the three ancient characters of White Sand City.
Zhang Ling paused for a moment at the gate of the city, and then entered directly. The city was also in ruins, and the howling strong wind shuttled through the collapsed buildings, making it extremely dilapidated and desolate.
What came into view was a long street more than ten feet wide, and the stone buildings, stone towers, and huge pillars engraved with spiritual patterns on both sides of the street were turned into rubble, and the ground was also covered with a thick layer of white sand. It looks like this city has been submerged by the desert for the most part, and after a few more years, this city may no longer exist.
Zhang Ling flew directly to the central area, where he could still see some intact buildings, including the teleportation array leading to the fourth floor.
...
At the same time that Zhang Ling entered Sand City to explore the teleportation array leading to the fourth floor, several Nascent Soul old monsters who had entered this place gathered in another place in Tianyuan.
This is a wide circular platform floating in the clouds, like a huge altar two or three hundred feet wide, surrounded by countless giant stone pillars of varying sizes, engraved with dense spiritual patterns.
Even if they are not monks proficient in formations, they can see that these pillars are all formation equipment. The pillars rotate slowly and constantly change their positions, as if there is some kind of law. There is also a layer of colored clouds wrapped around the altar.
At this time, a large teleportation array in the center of the altar flashed with spiritual light, and several figures were transmitted in.
After the spiritual light dissipated, it turned out to be the four demon kings, including the Red Fire King and the Qinghu King. They were followed by those high-level monsters without any damage.
The four demon kings looked around and walked directly to a stone hall.
There are some buildings on the altar. Although most of them are dilapidated, there are still three or four stone towers and stone halls that are well preserved.
The stone hall they went to was generally cyan-black and very large inside, but there were only some stone tables, stone chairs and other things, which seemed very spacious. More than a dozen monks had already gathered inside, with different expressions, and were sitting alone in a place waiting.
The identities of these people are not simple, and the seven or eight monks with the lowest cultivation level are all Golden Core late-stage experts. The remaining five or six people are actually Nascent Soul old monsters who have entered this place.
These people were silent and no one spoke, making the stone hall full of oppressive atmosphere. The arrival of the four demon kings immediately attracted the attention of these people. The atmosphere became more dignified.
The ghost tomb Taoist, who was sitting alone in a corner, glanced at the Red Fire King with a livid face, and his eyes flickered fiercely.
The Red Fire King immediately sensed it, but snorted and ignored this person, and took the other three demon kings and monsters to an unmanned place to talk.
In this strange atmosphere, everyone waited for more than an hour, and more than twelve monks gathered in the hall. Basically, the Nascent Soul level monks who entered Tianyuan came here.
At this time, the Linghe real person from Wanxiang City and the thin and tall Feng surnamed youth also entered this place.
Realist Linghe smiled as soon as he came in.
"Twelve days have passed, I will open the passage to the center of Tianyuan. The next few floors are full of dangers. Even Nascent Soul monks can't guarantee their own safety. If any of you have the intention to retreat, you can leave with the help of the teleportation array outside at this time. Once you enter the central area after the fourth floor, the Tianyuan tokens in your hands will have teleportation effects. It depends on your abilities. I hope you all do what you can, so as not to be unable to do what you want and die."
As this person spoke, none of the monks in the gathering stone hall spoke, as if they had not heard these words. Naturally no one retreated.
Realist Linghe and the young man looked at each other and nodded. Finally, the two each took out a bronze token.
The two tokens have the same style, a bit similar to the Tianyuan token, but different. When spiritual power is injected into the token, the two tokens emit five-color spiritual light. Finally, the tokens fly up separately.
After a while, the two tokens disappeared and completely turned into two five-color light clusters the size of several feet, with dense colored runes flying uncertainly.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the two groups of spiritual light.
The two groups of spiritual light kept changing, and after half a cup of tea, the two groups of spiritual light turned into two black and white light clusters the size of ten feet.
Then the two light clusters collided quickly, and with a bang, the light clusters merged together and turned into a strange half-black and half-white light column that soared into the sky, directly passing through the top of the stone hall and shooting outside.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the formation stone pillars outside the altar seemed to sense it and all turned, and they were all activated, and then released a spiritual light spot.
