Chapter 70: Attacking the Nest
The Gathering Flowing Sand device was refined twice. Its appearance resembles an incense burner, about the size of a teapot, and has a bronze color throughout.
As a weapon to defeat enemies, its power is inferior to the Profound Iron Flying Sword, so it’s only used to attract sandstorm beasts—its value mainly lies here.
One of the Gathering Flowing Sand devices was given to Song Minghui to take to the Yanhuang Desert.
The other one, Lu Zhiwei decided to keep in the sect.
Not to say not to use it, but it’s better not to be without it. After all, with those refining materials, it’s just enough to refine two of them, so they must not be wasted.
Because of being located in Cyan Lotus Mountain, within a hundred-mile range, sandstorm beasts could not possibly be born, nor is it certain if it can actually attract sandstorm beasts. It can only be tested in the Yanhuang Desert.
Once Song Minghui got the Gathering Flowing Sand, he familiarized himself with its basic operation. After mastering it, he bid farewell to Lu Zhiwei and set off again with Zhang Nianchuan and the others, heading to the Hu Lu Trade Route from East Sand Town.
Having traveled this route once back and forth, their pace was much faster this time, reaching East Sand Town in just twenty days.
Setting foot on the Hu Lu Trade Route, the four of them discussed and decided to start from the beginning of the trade route, taking turns to activate the Gathering Flowing Sand until they reached the end of the route.
Lu Ping’s mission of clearing sandstorm beasts, the target is the ones appearing near the Hu Lu Trade Route, and they just need to eliminate the sandstorm beasts along this trade route.
Upon activation, the spiritual artifact emits a sandstorm beast kinship aura, with an effective range maintained within a hundred-mile radius, and the duration of one activation can last for several days.
This kinship aura only affects sandstorm beasts and won’t attract other demon beasts, so there’s no need to worry about danger.
