Chapter 1966: Arrival at Black Sand City!
Chhh——
Only a piercing sound of slicing was heard.
The fire-eyed flying ant in front of Zhou Yu was instantly cut into two sections.
Its corpse dropped before Zhou Yu, its wings still fluttering, but soon fell silent completely.
And at this moment, that sword light circled in the air before returning to the hand of the cultivator surnamed Niu.
Only then did Zhou Yu see clearly that it wasn’t a treasure sword, but a jade short stick.
After casually killing the fire-eyed flying ant, the cultivator surnamed Niu seemed still not to have vented his anger.
Subsequently, he threw out the jade short stick in his hand again.
The jade short stick instantly transformed into a white light, heading towards the front of the team.
Under the control of the cultivator surnamed Niu, that white light flashed like a laser back and forth several times in the night.
Each pass was accompanied by the hissing sound of flying ants.
In just a few seconds, those dozens of flying ants, including the three-headed fire-eyed flying ants hidden among them, were all killed.
After doing all of this, the cultivator surnamed Niu then beckoned, retrieved the jade short stick, and then turned over, returning to the carriage.
Watching this scene, Zhou Yu felt a stir in his heart.
That jade short stick must be a magic treasure.
Zhou Yu also had a few magic treasures, but regrettably, they were all destroyed during the traversal of the dimensional rift.
However, even when Zhou Yu used those magic treasures back then, he was never as effortless and at ease as the cultivator surnamed Niu.
For a moment, Zhou Yu’s heart suddenly started reminiscing about the cultivator surnamed Niu deploying the magic treasure.
He wanted to find the root problem from it.
This was crucial for his survival here and continued cultivation in the future.
At this moment, Zhou Yu had completely forgotten the pain brought by the collision with the fire-eyed flying ant earlier.
And just then, a worried voice came through.
"Young Master Zhou, Young Master Zhou, are you okay?"
This anxious voice startled Zhou Yu out of his reverie.
Only then did Zhou Yu see Que’er looking at him anxiously.
Zhou Yu forced a smile onto his pale face.
"Miss Que’er, don’t worry, I won’t die!"
"But for the next few days, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay here without moving."
Que’er’s eyes were red.
She looked at Zhou Yu with tears welling in her eyes.
"Young Master Zhou, thank you for saving me regardless of everything."
"If it weren’t for you, I might have just..."
At this moment, Mr. Liu also rushed in.
He said urgently:
"Miss Que’er, are you alright?"
Que’er, with reddened eyes, said:
"It was so terrifying just now."
"If not for Young Master Zhou risking his life to save me, I..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu looked at Zhou Yu.
The scene when Zhou Yu selflessly saved Que’er just now did not escape his notice.
At this moment, Mr. Liu’s gaze towards Zhou Yu no longer held the same wariness.
He bent down, bowed, and said:
"Brother Zhou, I, Liu Tang, thank you."
"Don’t worry, I will use all available resources to hasten Mr. Zhou’s recovery."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled faintly.
"No need for formality."
"It was Miss Que’er who saved me first, I am only returning the favor."
Liu Tang nodded.
Then he turned to Que’er and said:
"Miss, Elder Niu has already exterminated all the flying ants."
"These sudden appearances of fire-eyed flying ants are not a good sign."
"I suggest we don’t rest tonight, let’s leave immediately to reach Black Sand City as soon as possible."
Still unsettled, Que’er naturally nodded quickly.
"Alright, alright, let’s set off right away!"
Liu Tang immediately responded:
"Yes."
Afterwards, he turned to Zhou Yu, took out a jade bottle from his person, and handed it to Zhou Yu.
"Brother Zhou, this is a rare third-rank healing pill of mine."
"It is said to be effective even for Body Refinement Masters of the Cave Heaven Realm."
"Please, take it."
"Once we reach Black Sand City, I’ll find a way to procure better healing pills for you."
Saying this, Liu Tang handed the jade bottle to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu accepted it without hesitation, opened it to look.
The next moment, a faint mist started to drift from the jade bottle.
This was not simple mist, but spiritual mist emitted when water attribute spiritual power reaches a certain level.
With just a glance at the pill in the bottle, Zhou Yu gasped inwardly.
The quality of this pill was far superior to the imperial-grade pill given to him by Mr. Liu for treatment earlier.
This pill, according to the classifications of the Human Clan Plane, had reached at least the level of a divine-grade elixir, perhaps even higher.
He had never seen such a high-rank pill in the Human Clan Plane.
Judging by Liu Tang closely keeping it, this pill must be something he carefully saved as a life-preserving item.
Unexpectedly, he was willing to directly gift it to me.
It seems Liu Tang is genuinely loyal to Que’er.
Zhou Yu looked at Liu Tang.
"This pill certainly can heal my injuries, thank you."
Liu Tang waved his hand and said:
"No need for formality, Brother Zhou."
"You take care to heal, I will arrange for our departure."
After saying that, Liu Tang turned and left.
And Zhou Yu directly took the pill out and swallowed it.
As the pill entered his body, Zhou Yu immediately felt a warm and cool sensation spreading throughout his body.
The injuries in his body began to slowly mend.
Meanwhile, the halted team outside had also started moving overnight.
And as the convoy began to move, no one noticed the shadow in the cultivator surnamed Niu’s carriage that flashed past and vanished into the night.
Close to dawn, that shadow returned to the carriage.
Throughout, no one noticed a thing.
In the carriage, the cultivator surnamed Niu was currently full of excitement.
In his hand, he was clutching a fire-eyed flying ant.
"Who would’ve thought that coming to such a godforsaken place would encounter a strange ancient species like this. If cultivated properly, in a hundred years, it would surely be a trump card."
At this moment, the fire-eyed flying ant in the hand of the cultivator surnamed Niu was emitting a hostile sound at him.
However, the cultivator surnamed Niu casually cast a spell and sealed it.
Then, the cultivator surnamed Niu sat cross-legged and began performing a certain spell.
As his spell was cast.
The fire-eyed flying ant’s belligerence began to slowly dissipate, replaced by compliance.
A few hours later, as the cultivator surnamed Niu’s complexion became increasingly pale, the fire-eyed flying ant also became more and more bizarre.
Its fiery eyes surprisingly showed faint green glimmers.
At this point, the cultivator surnamed Niu finally completed the spell.
He opened his eyes in exhaustion, looked at the fire-eyed flying ant before him, and murmured to himself:
"Did not expect taming this beast would consume so much heart spirit, it seems thoroughly taming this beast is not that easy."
Time quickly flew, and suddenly, three days had passed.
A vast oasis appeared in front of the team.
In the oasis, a giant sand city rose from the ground.
Black Sand City, finally reached!
