Chapter 769: Sand Pit?
Amidst the endless sandstorm, a black Guiding Butterfly wavered slightly under the sunlight, eventually fluttered a few times, and dispersed.
Lan Ling cried out, "What should we do? The Guiding Butterfly has scattered!"
The Guiding Butterfly is a type of Ghost Butterfly, suitable for surviving in relatively cold and dark environments. In such a vast desert, even a more robust Guiding Butterfly would find it hard to survive.
Xiao Xue wrapped up her entire little head with the scarf Han Jing tossed to her, grabbing one end of the scarf. Two eyes peeked through the thin fabric to glance at the group, "I still have some here."
"No need, the Guiding Butterflies you brought can’t survive here." Lianwu glanced at Su Yu, "Spill some more blood."
Su Yu extended his hand.
Lianwu opened his palm, and a Blood Butterfly flew out from his overly pale skin, so red it seemed like it might drip blood.
A black line streaked across Su Yu’s palm, instantly creating a bloodstained mark with beaded blood.
Xiao Xue covered her eyes in fright, shouts at Lianwu, "Take it easy, be gentle!"
The Blood Butterfly landed on Su Yu’s palm, sipping the blood oozing from the bloodstain, then flapped its wings and flew into the air.
Another black semi-transparent sphere was produced, enveloping the Blood Butterfly. Only then did the Blood Butterfly begin to fly in a certain direction.
"Let’s go," Lianwu said, retracting his hand.
Han Jing pointed at the Blood Butterfly and asked, "Is this it?"
Lianwu nodded.
Though it was tough, they had no choice but to follow the butterfly into the desert. However, walking in this desert was an exhausting task; even for Spirit Cultivators like them, in this vast desert with endless flying yellow sand, they could barely walk normally.
Therefore, the journey was rather grueling.
They walked for almost half a month. Han Jing said with a mournful face, "With such a long time, I feel I could have circled around three countries."
Xiao Xue had long been exhausted, leaning dispiritedly on Lianwu’s shoulder, finding solace in the cool aura emanating from him.
"How much longer until we arrive!" Lan Ling complained, looking extremely bitter and resentful. Indeed, their previous life had been too comfortable. If anyone ever thinks somewhere is perilous again, let them take a tour here. Though not particularly dangerous, in such an environment, it truly feels like a pit!
Lianwu pointed to a whirl of wind and sand caving in the distance, "It should be around that place."
Everyone looked over; Lan Ling’s legs gave way as he collapsed onto the sand pile, "You must be mistaken, in that pit?"
He looked around bewilderedly at the barren, endless sand piles with no trees in sight. The mighty Great Xia Divine Clan, could it really be under that pile of sand? What kind of joke is this!
Lianwu replied calmly, "I don’t know, but the Guiding Butterfly stops here, which means it should be nearby."
Lan Ling was truly floored.
Han Jing asked Su Yu, "Is there any Barrier or Array around here?"
If the Great Xia Divine Clan was indeed in such a place, it wouldn’t be amidst these sands. There must be a Barrier, or an Array like an illusion.
Su Yu, however, shook his head decisively, "No, this is just the desert, and that sandpit ahead is naturally formed, maybe by tomorrow it will be gone with the wind."
