#1139 - Chapter 1139 Separate Actions

"Ye Kong, this desert is so vast and boundless, wouldn't finding the Mandala flower be like searching for a needle in a haystack?" Wen Jie asked, puzzled.

Ye Kong pondered for a moment, and the others exchanged glances, thinking that Ye Kong was trying to come up with a solution, but Ye Kong was actually consulting the system in his mind using his divine sense.

Before long, the system replied to Ye Kong.

Ye Kong raised his head and said to the others, "The Mandala flower is a spiritual plant. If you release your own spiritual aura, there is a high chance that you can lure it out. However, this flower is elusive and extremely difficult to find. Therefore, this time, we need to split up."

Hearing that they had to split up, the others looked at each other and then nodded.

"Okay, no problem, Ye Kong, your magical skills are the most advanced among us, so let Junior Sister follow you. The remaining three of us will be together. How about that?"

Ye Kong didn't say anything, indicating that there was no problem, and Sheng Ge simply nodded in agreement to this arrangement.

Zhang Tie and the others reached out and took them.

Gongsun Qing asked curiously, "Ye Kong, where did these Stasis Talismans come from? I've never seen them in the Supreme Origin Academy."

"Someone gave them to me," Ye Kong casually glossed over.

"Three senior brothers, if you encounter any unforeseen circumstances, remember to send a message to us with the messenger feather," Sheng Ge added.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, we'll go first."

The three of them then flew towards the west in the desert.

"We should go too," Ye Kong said to Sheng Ge.

The two of them flew in opposite directions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Tie and the others flew on their swords to a place a hundred meters away.

The three of them came down and walked on foot to a small sand dune.

Zhang Tie turned around and said to the other two, "I will release my spiritual aura. You observe the surrounding situation. If anything is wrong, immediately take action to capture it."

"Understood," Gongsun Qing and Wen Jie both nodded.

Zhang Tie sat cross-legged on the small sand dune, and as he closed his eyes, his hands moved slightly, and spiritual energy gradually condensed in his palms.

Zhang Tie pushed his palms to both sides, and a faint blue spiritual aura gradually radiated outward from his body through his palms.

Gongsun Qing and Wen Jie flipped their hands and each took out their own magical weapons, guarding Zhang Tie's sides.

The sun, like a fireball, hung high in the sky, scorching the earth. In the loneliness of the yellow sand, rolling heat waves swept through, burning the skin.

At this time, Zhang Tie, braving the scorching sun, continuously emitted his own spiritual power outward in order to attract the Mandala flower.

On the other side, Ye Kong and Sheng Ge also came to a vast and boundless place.

Zhang Tie and the others were looking for small hills, while Ye Kong and the others were just the opposite, looking for a sunken sand pit.

Ye Kong tested the sunken sand pit, worried that it was quicksand.

After some testing, Ye Kong confirmed the firmness of the sand.

Ye Kong wanted to jump directly into the sand pit to release his spiritual aura, but Sheng Ge reached out and stopped him.

"Senior Brother Ye, let me be the bait. Your magical skills are higher than mine, and you will notice any situation faster than me. Therefore, it is most appropriate for me to be the bait."

Hearing what Sheng Ge said, Ye Kong felt that it made sense, so he followed Sheng Ge's arrangement.

Sheng Ge tapped her toes, and with a very light posture, she jumped into the sand pit.

Sheng Ge sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and pinched her hands into a magic seal, and a dazzling halo appeared in front of her.

The halo emitted wisps of spiritual aura, constantly floating up and down.

Ye Kong turned his hand and observed the surrounding situation, ready to attack at any time.

Time passed by, and the sky in the desert did not change. The scorching sun still shone brightly.

Ye Kong waited quietly, and the halo in front of Sheng Ge gradually dissipated.

Just at this moment, the sand not far away moved slightly. Ye Kong's eyes turned, and he noticed something was wrong.

Ye Kong stared at the distance, but it was still peaceful and nothing happened.

Ye Kong used his mind to control his divine sense and explore the distance.

A dark, armor-like beast flashed through his mind.

Ye Kong turned his head and glanced at Sheng Ge. While worried, the sand not far away squirmed again.

This time, Ye Kong did not hesitate and rushed towards the sand not far away.

"Swoosh ~"

Ye Kong condensed spiritual power with his two fingers and directly struck the area with the strange sand.

A ray of light flashed, rolling up the loess so high, like smoke rising from the ground, spinning and running in the desert.

But there was nothing in the sand.

At this time, a not-so-small living creature behind Ye Kong took the opportunity to drill out of the sand and stabbed fiercely at Ye Kong's foot.

Ye Kong suddenly noticed it and turned around quickly. He saw a black scorpion of considerable size under his feet.

Ye Kong quickly gathered spiritual energy and struck the black scorpion with two fingers.

"Bang!"

The black scorpion was directly knocked away. Its body was hit and split into two halves, and the tail stinger of the black scorpion was still attacking, shooting out venom.

Ye Kong approached, and the scorpion no longer had any life, leaving only a broken tail stinger still wriggling.

It is normal to have scorpions in the desert, but the black scorpion in front of Ye Kong made him a little surprised.

In terms of size alone, this black scorpion is much larger than ordinary ones.

Ye Kong reached out and sucked, and the black scorpion's tail stinger flew straight into Ye Kong's hand.

Ye Kong looked closely and found that there was a filamentous substance on the black scorpion's tail stinger.

"This is…"

Just as Ye Kong was still observing, a scream rang out inappropriately.

"Ah!"

Ye Kong was suddenly shocked.

"Not good!"

Ye Kong hurriedly pinched the magic seal and teleported to the top of Sheng Ge's sand pit.

Looking down, there was no Sheng Ge, only a uniform color of yellow sand.

"Junior Sister Sheng ~"

Ye Kong shouted loudly in the open space, wanting to get a response.

But obviously there was no sound to answer him.

Ye Kong closed his eyes, trying to use his divine sense to explore Sheng Ge's location.

But in the search of his divine sense, there was nothing but the vast yellow sand.

Ye Kong calmed down and carefully recalled, thinking of his messenger feather.

Ye Kong shook his hand and took out his messenger feather from the storage bag.

Ye Kong spun his hand and stimulated it, using spiritual power to activate the messenger feather and resonate with Sheng Ge's messenger feather at the same frequency.

He saw the messenger feather in Ye Kong's hand constantly falling white catkins. In the absence of wind, the messenger feather broke away from Ye Kong's hand and flew straight to one side.

Ye Kong followed.

The messenger feather flew erratically, taking Ye Kong to another sand pit.

As the messenger feather continued to flutter, it finally fell directly into the sand pit amidst the fluttering.
