Zhou Chun's expression suddenly changed and he discovered that a group of bandits were approaching the caravan dozens of miles away.

This group of bandits obviously did not just happen to bump into the caravan, but came prepared.

The leader of the team was a late-stage cultivator from the Purple Mansion. There were also seven foundation-building stage cultivators in the team, as well as two second-level monster beast battle pets.

This level of strength is enough to pose a threat of overthrow to the now weakened caravan.

Do you want to remind the Zifu period monk in the caravan?

Zhou Chun frowned, hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, and chose to take action directly.

"roll!!"

Dozens of miles away, a scarred-faced man with a late cultivation level in the Purple Mansion was riding a second-level demon wolf and galloping towards the caravan with a group of subordinates. Suddenly, a majestic shout rang out in his mind, shocking him.

His soul trembled.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ah!

The big man with the scarred face suddenly let out a scream, couldn't help but fall off the wolf demon's back with his head in his hands.

This scene immediately shocked the younger brothers who were following him. Even the wolf demon hurriedly stopped and turned to look at its master, not understanding why this master was so crazy.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

A scar-faced man's confidant, a foundation-building monk, bravely stepped forward and asked.

But I saw the scarred man looked at the direction of the caravan ahead with fear in his eyes, and then shouted repeatedly: "Let's go back, and go home immediately!"

"This...why is this?"

All the bandits looked at each other, and some couldn't help but ask the reason.

But these words immediately made the scar-faced man glare. He stared at him fiercely and said, "What? You want to question my order?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't have any intention!"

The man was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly, fearing that if he answered late, he would be killed on the spot by the scar-faced man.

In the bandit team, it is too common for the bandit leader to kill people to establish his authority. This person does not want to be that chicken.

Seeing this, the other bandits, even though they were still full of doubts, could only follow the scar-faced man and return home.

After traveling hundreds of miles like this, everyone saw the scar-faced man and spat and cursed: "Damn it, all of us Huang Feng bandits were almost defeated today. There was actually a Jindan period hidden in that caravan.

A monk, and most of them are not just in the early stages of Golden Core cultivation!!"

What? Golden elixir stage monk!

The expressions of all the bandits suddenly changed. Only then did they understand why the leader suddenly ordered a retreat, and then each one of them couldn't help but look happy to have survived the disaster.

"These guys are quite sensible! If I didn't want to cause more trouble, I would definitely do justice for heaven today and kill all these bandit cultivators!"

Inside the caravan, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed coldly, and he quickly pretended that nothing happened and entered a tent to rest.

But the monks in the caravan didn't know that a catastrophic disaster had just quietly gone away from them.

In the next half month, the caravan was not targeted by the sand pirates again. It successfully passed two oases and was almost approaching the hinterland of the Fire Kingdom.

But just when Zhou Chun thought it would be smooth sailing to reach its destination, the caravan encountered another crisis.

The crisis the caravan encountered this time came from sand beasts, and it was the most terrifying insect plague in the Sea of ​​Flowing Fire and Sand!

It was night, and Zhou Chun was resting in his tent. Suddenly, his alert consciousness noticed dense noises under the sand. Then when he fully explored with his spiritual consciousness, he immediately discovered that the ground around the camp was surrounded by swarms of insects!

These monster insects surrounding the camp are ant-like creatures called "Quicksand Fire Ants", which are special monster insects in the Flowing Fire Desert.

The characteristic of this kind of monster is that it quietly approaches the target from the ground, and then submerges the target like quicksand.

When Zhou Chun discovered these monster insects, they were already ready to take action.

Therefore, he did not have time to notify the caravan to retreat, so he directly took off into the air first, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone should take off immediately, the underground has been surrounded by quicksand fire ants!"

While speaking, Zhou Chun had already fired a sword energy and landed on the sand somewhere.

I saw a gap in the sea of ​​sand being torn apart by the sword energy, and many thumb-sized quicksand fire ants were smashed into pieces by the sword energy.

This was like throwing a match into an oil drum, which immediately ignited the anger of the entire ant colony, and soon countless quicksand fire ants appeared densely on the ground.

Those Shatuo beasts immediately became the first victims. They were soon crawled all over by these quicksand fire ants, fell to the ground howling miserably and became the food of the ant colony.

There were also some Qi-training monks who had no time to react or had no means to fly into the air. They were also caught off guard and were crawled onto their bodies by quicksand fire ants. They screamed and experienced the torture of being devoured by thousands of ants!

However, the Foundation Establishment Stage monks and the Zifu Stage monk hiding in the carriage reacted very quickly. The moment Zhou Chun spoke, they immediately came to their senses and took off.

The monks guarding the cargo even used magic to levitate the carriage to prevent it from being eaten by quicksand fire ants.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, no, Senior Zhang, please help protect these goods, Senior Zhang. The Zixia Chamber of Commerce will definitely reward you heavily!"

The leader of the caravan watched those Shatuo beasts being eaten into white bones by quicksand fire ants. While feeling heartbroken, he also thought of something and hurriedly asked Zhou Chun, whose aura was unfathomable in mid-air.

Helped.

Zhou Chun knew what he was worried about, and immediately nodded and said: "For the sake of being together, you can leave first, and Zhang will save you!"

Hearing these words, the person in charge of the caravan suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and thanked him profusely: "Thank you, Senior Zhang. Thank you, Senior Zhang. Senior, please take care of yourself too!"

Then he and the middle-term Zifu monk escorted several carriages filled with cargo and flew into the distance.

At this time, a subtle sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded, but it was some flying ants that had grown wings in the ant colony and were preparing to chase these people.

But since Zhou Chun agreed to help cut off the queen, he would not let these insects get their wish.

He raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and the golden-winged tiger flew out. A strong wind blew the flying ants to the ground, and their wings were broken.

But this approach apparently angered the ant colony.

Soon, densely packed countless flying ants rose into the sky and swept towards Golden Winged Tiger and Zhou Chun.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun was not used to these insects and released the Fire Phoenix again.

Places like the Sea of ​​Flowing Fire and Sand are exactly the environment that Flame Hell Fire Phoenix likes after all, because the fire attribute aura is very rich.

And insects such as quicksand fire ants are also in its diet.

As soon as it appeared, it suddenly opened its mouth and sucked in hundreds of flying ants into its mouth for a taste.

Then I saw it flap its wings, and the colorful flames suddenly surged out, turning into a cloud of colorful fire and sweeping towards the flying ants, easily burning a large number of flying ants to ashes.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because Zhou Chun lacked the means to destroy enemies on a large scale, he did not take action against these flying ants, but instead used his spiritual consciousness to search for the queen ants in the ant colony.

The reason why he stayed to break up the queen was not out of pure kindness, but because he had heard that something called "insect pill" might be condensed in the body of the quicksand fire ant queen.

This thing is somewhat similar to the demon elixir, but it is even rarer. It is only produced in the insect kings and queens of a few demon insect groups. It is a treasure that many insect cultivators are willing to spend their money to fight for.

It is said that "Insect Pill" not only has a great possibility of causing other monster insects to mutate and evolve, but can also greatly accelerate the growth rate of certain slow-growing monster insects.

Zhou Chun originally planned to wait until he reached the hinterland of the Fire Kingdom to see if he could acquire the Insect Pill.

Now that he had the opportunity to obtain this thing in person, he naturally wanted to give it a try.

Got you!

With his powerful spiritual consciousness, coupled with the fact that the Golden-winged Tiger and the Hellfire Phoenix destroyed a large number of quicksand fire ants, which aroused the queen's strong anger, Zhou Chun soon discovered the queen hiding deep underground.

This queen ant is really good at hiding. She hides herself in the depths of the sand sea dozens of feet deep and never shows up.

If Zhou Chun's spiritual consciousness were not too powerful, the sandy ground would not be as good at blocking the penetration of spiritual consciousness as the mud and stone ground, so it would be really difficult to find it!

After finding the target at this time, Zhou Chun did not hesitate to use the [Moon Toad Orb], a spiritual treasure, in order to kill it with one blow, and directly directed a "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" in the direction of the queen ant.

I saw a white ice light falling on the ground, instantly freezing an area of ​​hundreds of feet in radius, and the red sand dozens of feet deep below were frozen into icicles.

The queen ant, together with the many quicksand fire ants guarding her side, all turned into ice sculptures, like specimens in amber.

Zhou Chun then used a sword light to easily dig out the queen ant, and dissected the five-foot-long giant ant on the spot.

After dissecting the body of the queen ant, Zhou Chun indeed found an insect pill the size of a peanut.

This object is said to be an elixir, but in fact it is more like a spar, irregularly round and exuding a dark red luster.

Zhou Chun could feel that it contained a pure energy, which was somewhat similar to the Demon Pill. Perhaps this was the reason why it was called the Insect Pill.

After he carefully packed the insect elixir in a jade bottle, he ignored the ant colony that was scattered into sand after losing the queen, directly put away the Hell Fire Phoenix, and left the place on the Golden Winged Tiger.

.

Soon after, Zhou Chun rejoined the caravan that had previously evacuated.

But this time he did not go with the others, but after asking for a detailed map drawn by the caravan, he left alone on the tiger.

In the past month or so, Zhou Chun has been in the caravan and has already learned how to identify directions in the sand sea.

Now with the map in hand, it took him less than three days to reach the Brazier Oasis where the Heavenly Fire Gate is located.

The general shape of the Fire Basin Oasis is like a round basin, with a diameter of nearly two thousand miles. It is the third largest oasis in the Fire Kingdom, with over ten million mortals living on it!

Tianhuomen is the largest force of immortal cultivators in the Brazier Oasis, and is the well-deserved overlord of the place.

This mountain gate is located on the Tianhuo Peak in the north of the Fire Pot Oasis and belongs to the edge of the oasis.

After Zhou Chun arrived here, he was immediately shocked by what he saw.

I saw that the originally flat oasis suddenly rose up from the ground after approaching Tianhuo Peak, giving birth to a majestic peak thousands of feet high!
