Chapter 168: Small Teleportation Talisman, Unknown Zone

Not long after, Xu Hei reached a distance of a thousand feet away.

This was where Tianji Shangren was ambushed. At that time, the air was filled with dust and sand, and in an instant, nothing was left of him.

Yet Xu Hei didn't pause, continuing to move forward.

"It's coming," Tianji Shangren's eyes narrowed, thinking to himself.

Suddenly, a stalagmite shot up from the ground, aiming straight for Xu Hei's crotch. It was a spell Xu Hei was familiar with, the Earth Spike.

"Spirit Body Thread!"

With a thought, countless invisible threads shot out, striking the stalagmite.

In an instant, the stalagmite stopped moving.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The wind howled, and sand filled the sky. The Sandstorm Technique appeared once more, but Xu Hei again used the Spirit Body Thread, and the sandstorm ceased immediately.

Such a bizarre scene left the two people behind him dumbfounded.

"What... what's going on?"

Tianji Shangren immediately stood up, instinctively wanting to investigate, but hesitated.

He couldn't understand the principle behind it, and going forward would be courting death.

At this moment, Xu Hei's Spirit Body Thread spread out thousands of strands, precisely passing through each grain of sand.

He suddenly realized that these grains of sand were not formed by any spell. It was nonsense to call it a spell; it was nothing of the sort.

These were clearly puppets, puppets the size of grains of sand!

This explained why "spells" appeared under the Spirit Ban Formation.

Xu Hei didn't know what kind of existence could create puppets as small as grains of sand, with such a complex internal structure in such a tiny body.

But this was definitely beyond his understanding!

"According to legend, there are Spirit-Eating Ants smaller than grains of sand. Although tiny, they can devour spirits and gold, possessing immense power. The puppets here are just like Spirit-Eating Ants!"

Xu Hei marveled in his heart, becoming even more curious about the owner of these ruins.

Xu Hei released the Spirit Body Thread, forming a continuous loop around him, creating a sphere that enveloped him tightly, providing absolute defense that no puppet could penetrate.

As long as the Spirit Body Thread touched them, the sand would fall powerlessly.

Xu Hei's Spirit Body Thread had clearly formed a defensive light screen, blocking all attacks.

"Boom!!"

The next moment, the desert trembled, and a fierce wind arose. Black sand and dust surged into the sky in the distance, forming terrifying clouds that pressed down like a black cloud over a city, sweeping towards Xu Hei.

The vast black cloud was unimaginably large in number.

"This..." Xu Hei's face changed dramatically.

His Spirit Body Thread could indeed restrain the puppets, but with such numbers, how could he possibly restrain them?

Even if he exhausted his True Qi, he couldn't hold them back!

Xu Hei knew that not all the black sand here were puppets; for instance, he had only found two or three among the sand he had picked up earlier.

But there was simply too much sand here.

Even if only one in ten thousand were puppets, the number was still terrifying.

"Boom!!"

The heavens and earth roared as the sandstorm approached, blotting out the sky like a giant hand reaching for Xu Hei.

These puppets all had a sense of self-preservation and a hint of intelligence. Even after the Spirit Ban Formation was set up, they deliberately refrained from attacking, waiting for someone to delve deeper before devouring them in one fell swoop.

Tianji Shangren had suffered greatly because of this.

At this moment, they clearly realized that Xu Hei posed a great threat to them, so they all gathered and charged forward.

Xu Hei turned and fled, while Tianji Shangren and Liu Buqun, their faces pale with fear, also ran without hesitation.

What talk of opportunities or magical treasures? Their lives were the most important thing right now.

Xu Hei had underestimated the difficulty of this journey. He had thought that since others had made it through the other three paths, this Earth path should be passable too.

However, this path was sealed for a reason.

"Boom!!"

The black cloud moved incredibly fast, quickly spreading behind Xu Hei and colliding with the Spirit Body Thread. Countless grains of sand fell, but more came to replace them.

Xu Hei could clearly feel his True Qi draining away like water, and in just a few breaths, it would be completely exhausted.

"Should I use the Black Dragon Pagoda or the Small Teleportation Talisman?"

After a moment of thought, Xu Hei made a quick decision, taking out the Small Teleportation Talisman and gripping it in front of him.

"Whoosh!"

A spatial ripple flashed, and Xu Hei vanished from the spot.

The black cloud lost track of Xu Hei and turned towards the two men in the distance. They too didn't hesitate, each taking out their life-saving items, whether for teleportation or shifting causality, and fled.

Deep underground in the Earth path.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Hei's figure slowly emerged.

Since the Small Teleportation Talisman only worked on the original body, Xu Hei had put away the butcher puppet, and now it was his true self.

"Huh, where is this?"

Xu Hei looked around in confusion, finding himself beneath the desert, his body squeezed by sand and stone, creating a narrow space.

His Divine Sense spread out, still only covering a hundred meters, and all he saw was sand!

Xu Hei's body trembled; he had actually teleported beneath the desert.

What kind of operation was this?

"Strange, I clearly aimed for the direction behind me, so why did I end up here?"

Xu Hei was puzzled and uncertain.

The Small Teleportation Talisman was supposed to teleport him to a place he had been before, usually used for escaping.

But this talisman had transported him to a strange place.

He took out the remaining seven Small Teleportation Talismans, which he had personally crafted. They were black in color, different from ordinary ones.

Xu Hei had thought they only looked different.

However, the effect was different too, seemingly random teleportation?

Xu Hei tried to move but was frustrated to find he couldn't budge. The sand here was extremely heavy, indicating he was deep underground.

The oppressive force made his dragon scales creak, and his body was on the verge of being crushed.

"No, I need to teleport again."

Xu Hei took out another Small Teleportation Talisman, thought for a moment, and activated it in the opposite direction of before.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Hei disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was still beneath the desert, but the pressure had lessened somewhat, indicating he was in a more layered area.

Yet moving was still incredibly difficult for Xu Hei.

"Again!"

Xu Hei used another Small Teleportation Talisman to teleport once more.

This time, the space finally opened up, and he found himself in mid-air.

Xu Hei looked up and saw he was above the desert. The sand was still black, and the sky was bleak, but the black cloud from before was gone.

Xu Hei quickly descended to the ground, looking around to find himself in a place he hadn't been before, and the environment was different from what he had seen earlier.

He casually picked up a handful of sand and checked it one by one, surprisingly finding no puppets, just ordinary sand.

"Could it be that I've passed through that extremely dangerous area and reached the depths of this Earth path?" Xu Hei's expression changed.

This was shocking to him. The Small Teleportation Talisman was supposed to be for escaping, only teleporting to places he had been before.

But Xu Hei's Small Teleportation Talisman seemed to teleport randomly.

Of course, this kind of random teleportation was extremely risky. If he ended up in a place where death was certain, wouldn't that be the end?

For instance, earlier, Xu Hei had teleported underground. If he only had one Small Teleportation Talisman and no extras, he would have been trapped to death.
