C3985 Sand Demons Born in the Mines
"I don't want to die. Someone save me!"
Desperation and fear spread through the cave. Sha Jiu felt a chill in his heart, and he used all his strength to resist the pressure of the earth pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.
Although the Sand Yaos had thick skin and could survive underground, it did not mean that they would not die.
Yaos would also be crushed to death.
"Help!"
"Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Within the mound of dirt, only a small head was revealed before quickly shrinking back. "It collapsed. This time, there's no more ore to steal. What should we do?"
After some thought, he did not stand aside and watch. Instead, he began to use the vines to fix the surrounding soil, and then he combed out a straight tunnel.
This way, when the other sand tribes saw the commotion, they would be able to help.
After dealing with these matters, Xi Luo quickly left to find his next target. This time, he was much more careful.
Within the side hall, Chen Xiao sat upright as his mind quickly thought about his current situation and the path ahead of him.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. However, it wasn't necessarily the case that he was extremely anxious. After all, the situation was far from the worst-case scenario.
"* Boom! *"
Suddenly, a muffled sound rang out. Chen Xiao's body trembled slightly as he frowned, "This is...? The ground is moving?"
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hiro, did you do this?"
"Hehe, I accidentally dug a hole in the ground. Don't worry, I've already taken care of it. All the Shas buried inside are safe."
Xi Luo replied.
... ""
Chen Xiao was speechless. He looked at Fu Zhenghong nervously and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she did not react.
"You, be careful. Don't do anything reckless. If you are discovered, you will be in big trouble."
"I know. This is only the first time. I'm not familiar with it. I won't do it again."
Xi Luo said coquettishly in his Soul Sea.
He could tell that Chen Xiao actually cared about the safety of the ordinary members of the Sha Family.
"Are those ordinary Shas really fine?"
"Yes, I left a path of survival for them. As long as they can hold on for a while, the other Sands will be able to save them. Don't worry, Chen Xiao."
Hearing that, Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Why do you care about the lives of those little sand-demons? Don't forget, they are monsters, you are monsters, and you are still under house arrest, unable to advance or retreat."
That was true, but it wasn't like that.
"Because they are innocent. What does the actions of the old Sha King have to do with the little Sand Yaos?"
Chen Xiao said coldly.
"This..." Herault's heart skipped a beat. He felt that this made sense, but what puzzled him was, "If that's the case, then why did the Immortal Weapon Sect suppress and even exterminate the entire Sha Clan?"
"The Immortal Weapon Sect is the Immortal Weapon Sect. What does it have to do with me?"
"En, so that's how it is."
"Hmph."
......
Hmph.
"With such a big sound, it must have collapsed again. Sigh, who knows how many more Shas will be buried here. I don't know if they'll live or die."
One of the Sha Guards sighed. He was extremely sad.
In order to excavate the Dust Crystal Ore, it wasn't rare for caves to collapse. This was especially so after being suppressed for ten thousand years. The Dust Crystal Ore had almost become the only thing the Sand Race traded with the outside world.
The importance of the Dust Crystal Mine had increased dramatically.
Therefore, in order to excavate more Dust Crystal Ore, they had sent a large number of normal members of the Sand Race as miners. Once they collapsed, there would be a lot of casualties.
However, in order to obtain more Dust Crystal Ore, they couldn't care less. After all, only normal members of the Sha Race had died.
"They're all normal members of the Sha Race. If they die, so be it. If they die, find someone else to replace them."
Another guard of the Sha Race said in a soft voice. His expression was calm, as if it wasn't the Sha Race that had died.
"Shh, be quiet. Don't talk nonsense. If the captain or His Highness hears this, you're dead."
"Yes."
Shafan heard all of this and his eyebrows furrowed. Anger surged in his eyes, but he managed to suppress it in the end.
The current situation of the Sha Race wasn't something he could change by himself.
A moment later, a guard from the Sha Race arrived. Shafan immediately stood up and asked, "How are the casualties?"
"Replying to my lord, many of the Sha were injured, but those who did not die were fortunate in the midst of misfortune. Those who went to rescue them found a large passage, and with the help of the tangled vines underground, they were spared."
"Vines?"
...
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
During the month that Chen Xiao was under house arrest, he had secretly dug out the Dust Crystal Ore below. It could be said that his harvest was quite bountiful, especially for Hiro, who had used all his strength to devour a huge amount of Dust Crystal Ore.
He was originally a Spirit Plant, so the Dust Crystal Ore was extremely beneficial to his growth.
What surprised Chen Xiao was that even though he was being crazily plundered by Hiro, he did not lose a single bit of the Dust Crystal Ore underground the Sand Clan. It seemed to be endless.
"The heavens are truly rewarding me with food. I was born in a mine. No wonder the Immortal Weapon Sect didn't hesitate to fight back then in order to suppress the Sand Clan. This Dust Crystal Ore is truly coveted."
Chen Xiao sighed with emotion in his heart.
One had to know that as his strength increased and he reached the Immortal level, the Myriad Demon Vines had become one with him, and they had also recovered quite a bit. However, they needed to devour a large amount of energy to grow.
The Dust Crystal Mine was undoubtedly the best spiritual mine. There were so many of them, and it seemed to be endless.
The Sha Clan had a mountain of treasures, yet they had become like this. It made one sigh.
Due to the Immortal Weapon Sect and their own reasons, everything had two sides.
"hiccup."
At this moment, Chen Xiao seemed to have heard a burp and thought that he had misheard it.
He saw He Luo silently pull back the vines that were rooted in the ground, neither too fast nor too slow. At this moment, golden spots appeared on the originally greenish-black vines. They were crystal clear and emitted a powerful aura. This was a slight change to the Myriad Demon Vine's body after devouring a large amount of dust crystal ore.
Although Chen Xiao didn't know why, he could tell that this was a great thing for Hiro.
"What's wrong? Are you full?" He asked with concern.
"More or less. This Dust Crystal Mine is too big. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it even if I die from overeating. No wonder the Sha Race is still able to hold on. But it has nothing to do with this."
"What do you mean?"
"A Sand Demon is coming."
"Hmm?"
Chen Xiao's eyebrows twitched. With a thought, he finally sensed a familiar aura approaching the side hall from the outside.
Due to the isolation of the array, even he could not know everything that was happening outside.
However, Xiluo was able to detect it in advance. This meant that the Myriad Demon Vine had grown again and became even stronger.
