Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 42 Contract Sandworm
In the vast desert, the howling wind rolled up the yellow sand all over the sky, like countless sharp daggers rolling around this barren land.

However, on a sand dune at this time, a burly man was slowly moving forward against the bone-piercing wind.

The most astonishing thing was that he didn't have any spiritual shield outside his body, and he relied entirely on his own body to resist the howling wind.

The Taoist robe on his body has been shattered under the raging wind, and the sand particles hidden in the gust of wind are like countless sharp daggers scratched on his exposed body.

I saw that the surface of his body was glowing with a layer of golden red, and those sharp grains of sand hit his golden red skin at a high speed, unexpectedly unable to hurt his body at all.

The man who marched against the violent wind and sand was naturally Shen Zhirui. At this time, he was heading towards the place where the secret was buried under the guidance of the animal skin map and compass.

The reason why he didn't release the spiritual power shield to resist the oncoming wind and sand, but chose to resist completely with his physical body, was just because he wanted to save some spiritual power consumption in his body.

Although he already has more than 1000 low-grade spirit stones on him now, and there are nearly ten bottles of pills that can restore spirit power, but he doesn't know how long he will have to walk in this desert. Naturally, he can save some. .

Of course, this is because he has practiced body training since he was a child, otherwise ordinary late-stage Qi training monks would not be able to resist the attack of this wind and sand with their own physical strength.

As he was walking, Shen Zhirui suddenly stopped, and he held the black horizontal knife tightly in his hand.

The next moment, the ground under his feet collapsed instantly, and his body also jumped into the air at the same time, and the horizontal knife in his hand was also lifted above his head and chopped down vigorously.

I saw a first-order sandworm jumping out from the collapsed ground, and the sharp horizontal knife chopped down from its head, directly piercing the sandworm, which was more than one foot long, from head to tail.

Shen Zhirui landed firmly on the ground again, and very skillfully found a stone rich in spiritual power from the pile of sandy debris.

Judging from his movements in one go, it was obviously not the first time he encountered a sudden attack from a sandworm.

This is indeed the case, ever since Shen Zhirui entered the Jue Ling Sand Sea, from time to time he would encounter sand worms suddenly coming out of the ground to attack him, and the frequency of this attack also increased rapidly as he went deeper.

But for now, due to the sensitive perception of the little gray pig, and the fact that the sandworms that attacked him were only around the first-level mid-low level, it wouldn't cause him much trouble.

Even on the contrary, these sandworms can continuously send him stones rich in pure spiritual power, which will be of great help to his next journey.

In the following days, Shen Zhirui basically drove on the road against the oncoming wind and sand during the day, and at night, he found a hidden place to dig a cave, and stayed inside to absorb the spirit energy in the spirit stone to recover the spirit energy consumed during the day.

And as he continued to go deep into the sand sea, the oncoming wind and sand became more and more violent. After he released the spiritual shield and advanced for a certain distance, he had to sacrifice his protective magic weapon to continue moving forward against the wind .

As a result, the spirit stones and elixir on his body also decreased rapidly, making his heart more and more anxious.

Shen Zhirui had to check the consumption of spirit stones and elixir on his body every day, if he still couldn't find the secret treasure after half of it was consumed, he had no choice but to give up and return the same way.

Fortunately, after nearly a month of hard work, he finally arrived near the location marked on the animal skin map.

I saw that Shen Zhirui was standing on a towering sand dune, while holding the animal skin map in his hand, combined with the compass that could locate it, he carefully determined the final location of the secret.

However, with the passage of more than 1000 years, the landform of this area has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Looking at the past, it is all yellow sand. The barren ground is nothing but sand. The signs that could identify the direction more than 1000 years ago have long since disappeared without a trace.

According to the map and compass, the final location of the secret store was near where he was standing, but the desolate scenery he saw made it impossible for him to locate it precisely.

Just when Shen Zhirui was at a loss, he thought of the little gray pig lying in his arms again, and immediately took it out of the bag.

"The rest is up to you"

He first poured out a wisp of [Bigu Pill] from the bottle, and after feeding the pill to the little gray pig, he made it act immediately.

As an excellent spirit-seeking mouse, in addition to digging holes in the ground, the main skill of the little gray pig is naturally to find spiritual things hidden in the dark. It can find things that contain spiritual energy in the ground from a long distance away.

I saw that the little gray pig swallowed the 【Bigu Pill】quickly, and began to search carefully with its nose after eating and drinking.

And Shen Zhirui followed closely behind it, while observing the direction of the compass pointer in his hand.

Suddenly, the little gray pig leading the way noticed something, and ran towards Shen Zhirui in a panic.

At the same time, Shen Zhirui also felt the ground shaking, and something in the surrounding sand was attacking him quickly.

He hastily stuffed the little gray pig into his arms, gripped the horizontal knife tightly with both hands, and stared coldly at the fast-moving figure in the surrounding sand.

The next moment, several huge black shadows broke through the ground one after another, and rushed towards him with their huge mouths full of mucus. They were several huge sand-eating worms.

Facing the sudden attack of these sand worms, Shen Zhirui jumped up directly, and the black horizontal knife in his hand immediately swung several sharp cold lights, all of which fell on the sand worms.

In the blink of an eye, he eliminated two first-order sandworms, but soon another sandworm with a larger size attacked him.

Top grade!
When Shen Zhirui noticed the aura emanating from this sandy head, his face could not help but change slightly.

As far as he knows, sandworms are monsters with extremely low spiritual intelligence, and most of them have extremely low strength, only about the middle and lower ranks of the first rank, and there are very few upper ranks of the first rank.

This first-rank high-grade sandworm is also the first first-rank high-grade sandworm he has encountered since he entered the Jue Ling Sand Sea for so many days!

Looking at this first-order high-grade sandworm that rarely appeared, a thought suddenly flashed in Shen Zhirui's mind.

I saw that his figure bounced and jumped high again, and then a heavy weight fell heavily on the top of the first-order top-grade sandworm.

Under its charged blow, the sandworm suddenly sank and fell heavily on the sand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Zhirui directly cut his fingers and squeezed out a drop of blood, and then quickly pinched out a formula with both hands, forming a bloody contract pattern in front of him.

"Using my blood essence and your spirit, I will make you wish as soon as possible!"

As he uttered the spell in his mouth, he quickly pressed the contract pattern on the sandworm's head with both hands.

The moment the scarlet contract pattern was imprinted on the top of the head, the first-order high-grade sandworm froze there. Although it struggled, it was not strong.

And Shen Zhirui was still pinching out the formula in his hand, his eyes were closed, and his brows were furrowed, obviously he was still casting the spell.

After a few breaths, he slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

This is obviously a successful contract!
