Chapter 155: Chapter 132: Death Crystal, Yellow Sand Beast

Lu Sheng hurriedly disembarked from the Heaven-Reaching Ship, parking it on a vacant lot beside the shelter.

Only then did Lu Sheng have the chance to observe the surroundings.

The shelter was very simple, built amid the endless desert.

The desert was filled with yellow sand, devoid of any life, only an endless deathly silence.

Apart from the occasional sound of the whistling yellow sand, there was no other sound.

But when a wisp of yellow sand fell on Lu Sheng’s body, he could clearly feel a burning sensation on his skin.

Lu Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the area where the stinging sensation arose, only to find that the skin there had turned black.

As if that area had been burned by flames.

"The yellow sand here..."

Lu Sheng squinted slightly, involuntarily looking at the nearby Guardian.

The Guardian nodded and said, "Ancient Temple Star is a deathly silent planet. Its interior contains an extremely strong deathly silence Qi, which causes the yellow sand here to be tainted with this Qi."

"Even a fourth-rank Transcendent, if eroded for long periods by this deathly silence Qi, would suffer considerable damage."

"However, this is manageable. Just enter the shelter and avoid the erosion of the deathly silence Qi. After some time, these injuries will recover."

As he spoke, the Guardian’s Qi Blood surged, forming a reddish veil around him, shielding him from the deathly silence Qi hidden in the yellow sand.

"To guard Ancient Temple Star, one must either cover their entire body with Qi Blood Power to prevent erosion by the deathly silence Qi, or use Golden Body Power to resist it."

The Guardian explained this to Lu Sheng, who promptly mimicked the Guardian’s method by enveloping himself with Qi Blood Power.

"Let’s go. I need to tell you about some other precautions."

The Guardian waved at Lu Sheng, signaling him to follow.

Lu Sheng followed the Guardian, passing through the shelter. Behind the shelter, amid the endless yellow sandy earth, there was a small mound-like protrusion.

When they reached the mound, they could see a stone door beneath the yellow sand, with an image resembling a Token engraved on it.

"Look, this is the resource point we need to guard. Although Ancient Temple Star is a deathly silent planet, it has produced some special Cultivation Resources called Death Crystal!"

The Guardian glanced at Lu Sheng, then took out a Black Iron Token from his pocket, which was carved with intricate patterns.

"This token can open the resource point door."

"The Death Crystal is a special crystal formed by the condensation of deathly silence Qi within Ancient Temple Star. It contains strong deathly silence Qi, particularly suitable for research or Transcendents who practice special Cultivation Techniques."

The Guardian placed the token on the image, and the seemingly sturdy stone door trembled instantly.

Rumble!!!

After a roaring sound, the stone door slowly opened, and a very strong wave of deathly silence Qi surged towards Lu Sheng from behind the door.

Lu Sheng could clearly see his Qi Blood Power being continuously eroded.

Fortunately, at this stage, Lu Sheng’s Qi Blood was extremely robust, enough to resist this wave of deathly silence Qi.

Through the deathly silence Qi, Lu Sheng could see the internal space behind the stone door.

The space was vast, resembling an underground world. In this underground world, numerous black crystals on the surrounding stone walls were constantly flashing black light.

"This is the resource point where Death Crystal is stored and is the place within Ancient Temple Star with the highest yield of Death Crystals. Every two months, the academy will send personnel to collect a portion of the Death Crystals."

"Someone will naturally contact you at that time. You just need to confirm their identity and bring them here."

The Guardian stood beside Lu Sheng and explained calmly.

Lu Sheng nodded and committed these tasks to memory.

He then saw the Guardian slowly closing the stone door.

"Do not open the resource point door lightly. Each opening will cause the deathly silence Qi inside to dissipate, reducing the condensation speed of the Death Crystals."

The Guardian reminded Lu Sheng.

He then pointed to the expanse of yellow sand.

"The dissipation of deathly silence Qi will return to Ancient Temple Star, merging with this world. It is also the main source of the special creatures here, Yellow Sand Beasts!"

As he spoke, the Guardian chuckled and suddenly stomped on the ground.

Bam!

The immense force caused countless yellow sands to shake instantly, kicking up into the air. At this moment, Lu Sheng sharply noticed a yellow creature appearing before him.

Lu Sheng focused and found that the yellow creature looked like a scorpion, but unlike a scorpion, it had two sword-like forelimbs.

Most importantly, the yellow creature in front of him had a fourth-rank initial stage aura.

"Is this... a Yellow Sand Beast?"

Lu Sheng’s eyebrows arched slightly, unsure, as he looked at the Guardian.

The Guardian nodded and then said, "Yellow Sand Beasts are special creatures condensed from the deathly silence Qi of this world. They are diverse; some appear as you see now, and others resemble giant pythons."

"Fortunately, these Yellow Sand Beasts aren’t very strong. They only have fourth-rank initial stage power and have low intelligence, making them easy to deal with. Only rarely, when the deathly silence Qi between heaven and earth is particularly dense, do some Yellow Sand Beasts reach fourth-rank mid-stage power."

"But this situation is extremely rare; you might not see a fourth-rank mid-stage Yellow Sand Beast for years."

The Guardian patted Lu Sheng’s shoulder: "Though their strength isn’t great, Yellow Sand Beasts are difficult to detect sometimes due to their Qi."

"For this reason, you need to clear the Yellow Sand Beasts around the resource point every month to prevent them from entering."

"After all... Death Crystals are immensely attractive to Yellow Sand Beasts formed by deathqi."

"If you slack off... you’ll face a horde of Yellow Sand Beasts."
