"Squeak squeak…"
On the Simm Plains, a crusade team was besieging a huge beetle.
This beetle was the size of a van. Its entire body was covered in black carapace. It was extremely huge and emitted a ferocious aura.
The teeth on its head were sharp and dense. Any cultivator that was bitten by it could eat their head in one bite.
More than a dozen cultivators surrounded it and finally killed the beetle after losing two spirit master cultivators.
"F * ck, where did this insect come from? It's so difficult to deal with.”
"Yeah, and two of our comrades died.”
"It's not too strong. Although this insect looks strong, it's actually extremely clumsy. I think it'll be easy to kill it.”
More than ten cultivators sat together, looking at the dead beetle and commenting.
"I think we should go back. It's a desert over there. There's probably nothing good there.”
A man looked at the sky and then looked at the desert in the distance. It was desolate and he couldn't help but say.
"We're all itinerant cultivators. How can we have a share in that ancient ruin? It's all occupied by the various sects.”
"That's right. I have nothing to do anyway. I heard that the Martial God Sect likes to collect these sand scorpions and giant ladybugs. Also, this guy is a rare creature. I wonder how much money I can exchange it for when I bring it back.”
"The desert is in front of us. Why don't we go for a walk? There might be more of these beetles.”
"I agree. This beetle has sand on its body. It should have been left alone in the desert. It's a rare species. Let's go take a look. Maybe we can catch two alive and sell them for a good price." a man said as he examined the beetle's corpse.
"Agreed." The others echoed.
The Simm Plains was a mess, and very few cultivators had come here before.
Because this place was vast and had deserts, ordinary people would not come here, let alone cultivators. Naturally, cultivators were even more unwilling to come here.
Although the East Continent had a large population, it was a vast land.
There were many barren lands like the Simm Plains, and they were remote areas. If it weren't for the discovery of ancient ruins, no one would be willing to come here.
On the entire continent, humans only occupied a small portion of the land in the East Continent. Many places had not been set foot in.
There was once someone who wanted to travel all over the East Continent, but many people thought that it was wishful thinking. No one had ever truly traveled all over the land.
The East Province was too big.
After resting for a while, the group of itinerant cultivators continued on their journey towards the desert.
On the way, they would encounter small magic beasts like sand rabbits, sand mice, and jungle wolves.
It was obvious that compared to other places, these magical beasts were more aggressive and sensitive, and they were more wild.
They would never get close to humans. If they were forced into a corner, they would take the initiative to attack humans.
Soon, they left the plains and arrived at the edge of the desert.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, a cultivator exclaimed.
Everyone looked over and saw a spire-like building standing in the desert. It was very far away and very close.
"There are spires in the desert. Could it be that there are people living there?”Everyone was confused.
In fact, they also knew that very few people came to the Simm Plains. After thousands of years, this place had almost been forgotten.
For example, there were many unknown areas around the East Continent. Some people claimed that those places belonged to the ancient era. People generally did not take the initiative to set foot in those places, and they lived in peace all year round.
There were also people who said that those unknown places were places where demonic beasts ran amok, and there were also demon races occupying them.
"It might be another treasure trove. Let's go and take a look.”
Their eyes lit up. If they could find ancient ruins on the plains, then there was nothing wrong with the appearance of spires in the desert.
"I think we should go back. It's getting late. I'm afraid…"
"If you're afraid, then scram. If you don't go, don't be jealous when you get the treasure.”
Someone backed out. One of the big men who was the leader immediately cursed. That person did not dare to say anything.
After discussing for a while, everyone set off towards the desert.
They were all rogue cultivators at the Spirit Master level. Even if they were not very strong, they would still have the power to fight against a Great Spirit Master in broad daylight if they worked together.
Therefore, they were not afraid and rushed into the desert.
Their speed was neither fast nor slow. They were getting further and further away from the plain, and closer and closer to the spire.
Nothing bad happened along the way. It was just that there were unknown creatures silently monitoring them in places they could not see.
"We're here." Two hours later, everyone arrived at the bottom of the minaret.
Suddenly, they saw the minaret piercing into the clouds, surrounded by tiny mosquitoes.
There were a few skulls scattered around the minaret. Judging by their age, they had been there for a long time.
Everyone immediately looked around, wanting to find some treasures.
"F * ck, there really is. Look, gems.”
Suddenly, a burly man's excited voice sounded.
Everyone quickly surrounded him and saw that the burly man had really dug out a fist-sized ruby from the desert.
This made them extremely excited. For a moment, their confidence increased greatly, and they began to dig everywhere.
Squeak squeak…
Not long after, the desert in the distance suddenly stirred up. A bulging mound of earth kept approaching.
"Ah, what is it? Help!”
A scream was heard as a cultivator was dragged into the ground by a huge stinger that pierced through his heart.
This scene shocked everyone, and they all prepared to fight.
"Ah, pfft."
"Squeak squeak ~"
Suddenly, a truck-sized Sand Scorpion appeared. Its body was too big, and its entire body was emitting a terrifying murderous aura.
Its pair of eyes scanned the crowd, as if it was thinking of a countermeasure.
Everyone looked at it in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster with extremely high intelligence.
"Don't be afraid. Let's attack together." The leader calmed down a little and was about to lead the charge.
All of a sudden, a huge hand shot out from the ground. It swept over like a heavenly pillar and grabbed a cultivator. The cultivator was crushed like a toy in its palm.
This scene scared them silly.
Before they could see the monster on the ground clearly, the cultivators died on the spot.
In the end, only one cultivator managed to escape. When he turned around and looked in the direction of the minaret, he saw the huge hand from the ground and only a gray head that looked like a bucket.
The last cultivator was so scared that he peed his pants and ran away.
All that was left was blood and corpses. Soon, the mosquitoes on the steeple rushed down and ate the blood.
The corpses were dragged underground by the squirming creatures, and soon the area returned to its usual calm.
