Chapter 227 Black Sand Heart
The Flowing Sand Devourer resembles a giant hourglass, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with sand constantly flowing rapidly through the narrowest part. Its body is composed of golden sand, and at its center is a pulsating sand core emitting a faint red glow. It has no fixed limbs, moving freely using the flow of sand, and can even extend parts of its body to attack enemies. Weakness: The sand core.
Ning Xiaoxi slowly approached, following the sound of the heartbeat. Through the dense sea of sand, the sound grew louder and louder. Gradually, a faint blush appeared through the cracks in the sand, and the surrounding sand began to tremble.
"Boom!"
The vibration frequency synchronized with the frequency of the sand core, and the surrounding blood energy also became denser, continuing to cross the sea of sand.
A red sand core beat rhythmically, causing the surrounding sand to vibrate as well. Around the sand core, a ring of blood mist swirled, slowly seeping into the heart.
This is the blood essence that this thing absorbs.
[They're not even demons, no wonder the old man couldn't track them down; their level is too low.]
Don't underestimate this little thing. Being able to steal blood essence right under the nose of a super-elite is a skill in itself.
Stop playing around and let's wrap this up.
Before Ning Xiaoxi could make a move, Xiaoxue suddenly darted over and threw her small body onto the sand, enveloped in a mist of blood.
"Xiaoxue!" Ning Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise. Why had this child run out on her own?
The blood mist formed from the blood energy began to boil, and the sand core began to beat violently and arrhythmically.
Black energy emanated from Xiaoxue's body, enveloped the sand core, and began to seep in.
The blood mist boiled and churned for a while before being completely absorbed by Xiaoxue in one gulp, like a whale sucking up water.
The sand core was completely permeated by black mist, losing all traces of red and turning entirely black.
Xiaoxue's little hands held the black sand core and began to compress it, compress it, until finally the sand core, which was half the size of Xiaoxue's body, was compressed into a small marble, enough for her to hold in her palm and play with.
Holding the Black Sand Heart in her palm, she pointed her little hand upwards, and the surrounding sand automatically parted to make way for Ning Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxue turned around and gave Ning Xiaoxi a big smile. If it weren't for the obvious Dream Weaving Vine pattern on her face, Ning Xiaoxi would have given her the same smile.
With Xiaoxue's guidance, Ning Xiaoxi returned to the ground in a straight line.
When Xiaoxue returned to the cave, the surrounding sand clung to Ning Xiaoxi's legs, preventing her from leaving.
Xiaoxue reappeared and stuck the Black Sand Heart onto the quicksand pile. The quicksand was then sucked into the Black Sand Heart.
Ning Xiaoxi jumped onto a nearby sand pile, escaping the quicksand.
Such a huge quicksand pit was sucked away by that marble-sized black sand core.
Soon, a huge funnel-shaped pit appeared, with three openings at the bottom. Ning Xiaoxi recognized one of them as the one she had fallen into before, and there were two others. It seemed that life down there was quite interesting.
Xiaoxue happily returned to her cave, holding up the Black Sand Heart to show off to the Nine Realms.
Jiuyu didn't even lift an eyelid, leaving her dejected as she returned to the Spirit Source Hut. Clutching the Black Sand Heart, she lay atop a dozen or so small Illusion Pythons, who slept soundly as if in hibernation.
Suddenly, a large pit appeared, while the surrounding sand dunes remained firmly in place. Ning Xiaoxi looked at the pit, which was at least a hundred meters in diameter, and began to stir up the surrounding sand to flow downwards.
Just as she began to move, Sui Lanting and the other three finally found her by following the sound.
Looking at the huge pit in front of him, and Ning Xiaoxi standing at the edge of the pit filling it with sand, Sui Lanting felt his breath catch in his throat. "Xiaoxi, are you alright?"
Ning Xiaoxi smiled brightly at the four of them, "It's okay! Come play in the sand!"
Sui Lanting twitched his lips. So you just finished watching the bloody battlefield and you came all this way to play in the sand?
Ning Xiaoxi stood up, clapped her hands, and then patted non-existent sand off her clothes. "Hehe, we've had enough fun, let's go back!" After saying that, she ignored the large sandpit that kept leaking sand and started walking back.
Sui Lanting quickly caught up and said earnestly, "Xiao Xi, this desert is vast and hides many unknown monsters and demons. Although they can't hurt you, we are about to enter the trial grounds, so we should focus on recuperation, right?"
"Yes, Sister Sui is right, I understand," Ning Xiaoxi replied obediently.
Su Yu made a face at Ning Xiaoxi, and the two ran forward side by side. Their figures, one tall and one short, looked strangely harmonious.
The Xian brothers, Xian Feng and Xian Yun, looked at the huge pit that had been filled in. They had come here because they heard the sound of sand flowing too fast. They hadn't had much hope, but could the sound of sand flowing so fast really cause such a big pit?
Looking at the two carefree men running ahead, the brothers felt sorry for the Sui official who was taking care of the child.
When they returned to the camp, apart from a faint smell of blood in the air, there was no trace of the killing that had just taken place.
Ning Xiaoxi obediently returned to her tent. Sui Lanting sat by the fire, feeling somewhat exhausted. Fortunately, the adults would be coming tomorrow.
Su Yu stayed by Sui Lanting's side for the first half of the night, while Xian Feng and Xian Yun returned to their tents to rest.
Ning Xiaoxi, who had retreated back to her tent, activated all the runes on it and set up a Spirit Crystal Heart protective shield before poking Xiaoxue in the cave.
Xiaoxue was holding Heishaxin, grieving alone, when she was suddenly poked, which startled her.
Ning Xiaoxi pointed to the black sand heart in Xiaoxue's hand. Xiaoxue perked up and tried to jump out, but Ning Xiaoxi pressed her back down with a finger.
Xiaoxue rolled around once, came out of the hut, shook the black sand in her hand, and sand flowed out with a whooshing sound, and more and more flowed out. It really was like it had sucked up all the quicksand in the pile!
The little silver dragon and the mermaid ran over curiously, looking at Xiaoxue's new toy.
After a while, Xiaoxue automatically sucked all the sand back in, then shook it to show Ning Xiaoxi.
Just putting sand in it? That's a bit too simple. Let's just use it as a toy for Xiaoxue.
No longer paying attention to Xiaoxue, Ning Xiaoxi took out the four-element spirit crystal brick again. She was only missing fire to complete the Five Poisons set. Well, now she had all five elements. Let's give it another try.
The fire element is too lively and intense; it can easily ignite all passion and burn to ashes, so it should be reduced.
The four elemental crystal bricks are currently evenly matched, maintaining a balance. However, this is different from Ning Xiaoxi's initial idea; she wanted them to merge, not remain balanced. Adding a fire element should be enough to stir up this stagnant pool, right?
After thinking for a moment, he grabbed four fire elements and squeezed into the gap between them.
Suddenly the balance was broken, and all four sides were unwilling to stand by and launched an attack, one of them grabbing a fire elemental and swallowing it.
Unfortunately, swallowing it was easy, but absorbing it was difficult. After all, it was a lawless fire element, so how could it be willing to be absorbed? Unfortunately, there was only one, and it was weak and alone. It was quickly destroyed, leaving only a little red blush to show that it had been there.
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes lit up. Haha, this is exactly the effect I wanted.
