Chapter 339: Tashakur Desert

Devour, devour…

A voice seemed to echo repeatedly in the minds of all the Screwworms. It was their broodmother, their king, and the only thing that mattered in their life.

Hence, a great many Screwworms hissed as well. Tens of thousands of Screwworms charged out of the valley in an orderly manner like an army.

…

“We’ve arrived at the Tashakur Desert!”

Lin Feng flew down from the airship. There were a total of eight Sages behind him. This was practically the strongest force of humanity.

The Tashakur Desert in front of him was filled with flitting yellow sand, and the sun was blazing hot. At a glance, it looked like a land of despair and death, where there was not even a trace of vitality.

This was the depths of the Tashakur Desert, and Golden Mountain City was still very far away. If one wanted to find an oasis here, they would have to travel thousands of kilometers, or even further.

This was a dead land. It was rumored that demon emperors had once appeared here. Many Meta-divine Realm martial artists did not dare to barge in rashly. Once they did, they would never return.

“Have you found any information about the Tashakur Desert from the consortium faction?”

Lin Feng asked the other eight Sages. After all, the Tashakur Desert was too huge. Without specific information, it would be very difficult to find demon emperors.

Sage Kang’s face was ashen as he said in a low voice, “This Batai neglected his duty! I never expected that after guarding Golden Mountain City for so many years, he had never gone deep into the Tashakur Desert. The reports he gave us in the past were all lies!”

Sage Kang was furious. Sage Batai had really renewed his understanding of Sages. Sages presided over a region, and their duty was actually similar to that of Legates.

......

The regions guarded were basically all under the Sages’ authority

However, Sage Batai had never ventured into the Tashakur Desert at all. He had never even seen the shadow of a demon emperor. Although expedition teams had ventured into the depths of the Tashakur Desert before, they had never returned. Sage Batai found all kinds of excuses to put it off.

Now that Sage Batai was dead, his past actions were naturally exposed, infuriating Sage Kang. After all, he was the one who supported Sage Batai to oversee the Tashakur Desert back then.

Without specific information, how could they find what they were looking for in such a huge desert?

“I’ll investigate the information from some adventurers immediately. Gather all the information regarding the Tashakur Desert.”

The eight Sages took action at once. They were in charge of the five major factions, so it was naturally the fastest way to gather information.

Lin Feng did not interfere. After all, his League of Guardians had just been established. Its foundation was still shallow, and there was no way to find information about the Tashakur Desert. However, he had a method as well.

Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes. Then, the Mental Power Sphere in his mind shook slightly, and a wave of mental power quickly explored in all directions.

Ever since Lin Feng’s Mental Guidance Technique had advanced to the third level, he had yet to test the limit of his mental power. Hence, as his mental power continued to spread and explore, Lin Feng could also learn the limit of his mental power.

Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters…

Lin Feng’s mental power spread extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had already explored a radius of a few kilometers.

Two kilometers, five kilometers, ten kilometers, twenty kilometers…

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng’s mental power had already enveloped an area of dozens or hundreds of kilometers. No movement in this area could escape Lin Feng’s notice.

He saw some scattered dire beasts lurking in the desert, ready to attack at any moment.

A few dire beasts were also hunting another dire beast.

This was the Outland, and it was the desolate and deadly Tashakur Desert. Even after hundreds of kilometers, Lin Feng did not discover any powerful dire beasts.

However, his mental power did not feel strained at all. A mere hundred kilometers did not feel like much. Hence, Lin Feng continued to extend.

One hundred kilometers, three hundred kilometers, five hundred kilometers…

Suddenly, when Lin Feng’s mental power extended to 800 kilometers, his mental power stopped.

At this moment, 800 kilometers was already somewhat taxing on Lin Feng’s mental power. Of course, if he unleashed his full power, Lin Feng should be able to explore an area of over a thousand kilometers.

“Sages, I’ve found something!”

With that, Lin Feng took the lead and flew rapidly into the distance on the airship.

The other eight Sages were a little confused. They all looked at each other, but they still chose to trust Lin Feng and followed.

…

“So many dire beasts, and they all seem to be demons…”

“It’s said that the Tashakur Desert is very dangerous, and even contains great secrets. Our travel has been safe for thousands of kilometers. Who’d expect we would encounter danger here? Looks like we’re going to die in this desert.”

“With Elder Lin around, everything should be fine, right?”

A group of young explorers, about a dozen of them, were all gathered in a circle. Around them were countless dire beasts like black beetles, surrounding them all.

These black beetles were about a meter in size and emitted a foul smell all over. They surged out of a dark and damp cave.

Elder Lin was a Divine Realm martial artist, but he had not joined any faction. He was one of the very few martial artists who were “free”. Moreover, he had fought at the frontline for decades, so he could return to the homefront to enjoy a comfortable retirement.

However, he wanted to explore the secrets of the Tashakur Desert. This was because decades ago, a few of his companions had died in the Tashakur Desert. He could never let go of this matter.

Elder Lin established an expedition team. Most of the people were just some young explorers who only had the strength of professional martial artists. It was only by relying on Elder Lin that they managed to avert danger along the way.

However, this time, at this place where Elder Lin’s former companions were left behind, they encountered danger.

These black beetles were all demons!

Elder Lin’s expression was extremely solemn. If there were only a dozen or so of them, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but there were tens of thousands of them behind, and they were all demons!

This was unbelievable. What kind of dire beast could produce so many demons?

“Report to the five major factions immediately. There’s a huge crisis hidden in the Tashakur Desert…”

When Elder Lin was in such a dangerous situation, the first thing he thought of was to report the situation to the five major factions. With so many demons here, there must be an extremely terrifying greater demon within!

Once these demons charged out of the Tashakur Desert, the consequences would be unthinkable!

“Elder Lin, we found it, we found it…”

Suddenly, a young explorer held a stone tablet fragment in his hand. There were dense words on it. They must be the words of some ancient civilization.

Elder Lin was also excited. These words were consistent with the words on the items left behind by his former companions.

He had finally found them. He was even certain that his companions had died to these dire beast beetles.

Unfortunately, he could not avenge them anymore.

The entire expedition team was in the most perilous situation. Some people’s faces were ashen. Facing these savage dire beasts, they had almost no power to resist.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, nine airships flew over from the distant sky. In the blink of an eye, they were above them.

“Airships!”

The members of this expedition team cheered, and a trace of surprise appeared on their faces again.

Buzz. Buzz.

However, these beetles actually leaped and spread their wings. They could still fly!

Countless beetles charged towards the nine airships in swarms.

“Look out!”

These were not armed airships. Although they were very fast, they were unarmed. Faced with these terrifying beetles, they would probably not be able to escape the fate of falling.

Swoosh.

A figure flew out of the airship. He glanced around and saw the densely packed beetles below.

“Hmph.”

The figure was very young. He looked at the beetle and snorted coldly, so he extended his hand.

Suddenly, everyone in the expedition team felt as if the sky had darkened.

“That’s…”

“A palm. What a huge palm!”

Under the shocked gazes of all the explorers, a huge palm descended from the sky like a dark cloud.
