Five days later, Mo Zhiming told everyone to walk forward and they would encounter monsters and robbers living in the desert, so that everyone would pay attention. This made the already silent team even more silent, and everyone's eyes looked around from time to time to prevent accidents.

In less than a day, Wu Yan and others encountered two first-level monster lizards, and were beaten up by everyone and died in a few strokes. But in the next few days, they could encounter one or two monsters every day. Although it was not difficult to deal with, it also greatly hindered the speed of Wu Yan and his group's progress.

Mo Zhiming said this is normal. After all, there is little food in the desert. As long as a monk passes by, nearby monsters may come to hunt. He encountered such a situation before. At the most dangerous time, he also encountered a level 3 monster sand leech, but was killed by everyone. At that time, several people died in his team. I heard that the most powerful person in the desert was the level 4 monster sand worm, which was huge and very cruel. He ate everything and could spit out venom in his mouth. But now everyone is walking an old path that has been around for many years. The danger is relatively small, that is, there are some low-level monsters. I haven't heard of anyone touching level 3 or above for many years.

On the 23rd day after Wu Yan and others set off, it was dark, and Wu Yan and others set up tents on the back of a sand dune to rest. Just as the rest was not long, the screams of a camel suddenly came. Everyone walked out of the tent to watch, but there was no movement around and no monsters were seen.

A monk on duty said to everyone: "For some reason, the tuft suddenly became irritable. I have seen it all around and found nothing."

Mo Zhiming said: "There should be some monster nearby. The tuft is very sensitive to danger and can generally sense threats nearby, so we start to get irritated. We should pay attention to observation and fight immediately when there is an abnormal situation."

Everyone nodded. Many people did not go back to sleep, but sat by the bonfire and meditated. Soon, someone discovered that there were a pair of green eyes in the dark, about a few hundred feet away from everyone, staring at the place where Wu Yan and others were resting.

"What is that?" A monk who noticed the situation started to scream in an emergency.

Everyone looked in the direction of the monk's finger, and saw a pair of green eyes looking at everyone, without any movement for a long time. "It seems to be a monster, right?" said one of them;

At this time, Mo Zhiming also came out. After looking at it, he said in a deep voice: "It should be the sand wolf. We were targeted by the sand wolf."

"What? Sand Wolf? Then we are not in danger?" one man shouted;

"Don't worry, we don't know how many sand wolves are staring at us. If there are not many, they will retreat after suffering losses. If there are many, they will observe us for a few days and will not start immediately. Let's hurry up to see if we can meet the team ahead. I know a team of monks set out two days before we left." Mo Zhiming preached, and after saying that, his face was very gloomy.

"What kind of monster is a sand wolf?" Wu Yan asked Mo Zhiming next to him softly;

Mo Zhiming narrowed his eyes and kept staring at the sand wolf in the distance, saying solemnly: "The sand wolf is a second-level monster, very fierce, and moves very quickly in the desert. It is also a group monster. Generally, there are about thirty in groups, and the most can reach hundreds. Now its leader just sends a sand wolf to monitor us. As long as he tracks for a few days, he determines the number of people and the strength of our strength, he will decide whether to attack. If we cannot show the power to deter them in the past two days, they will definitely attack us, and then we will be in trouble."

"Oh, have you not encountered it before? How did you deal with it?" The others were also listening to Wu Yan's question about Mo Zhiming.

"We have encountered it before, but the previous times were attended by senior monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. When there were no Foundation Establishment Stage monks, we also tried to form a team of cultivators with higher cultivation. And every time we encountered a small group of sand wolves, which was not very threatening. We repelled a few times. But this time we did not have a foundation Establishment Stage monk. The highest cultivation level is the ninth level of Qi Refining. The average strength is lower, and I am afraid it is a little trouble." Mo Zhiming told the truth.

Everyone looked at each other without saying a word. A young man from the sixth level of Qi refining shouted loudly: "Mo Zhiming, don't you promise that you will definitely be able to take everyone out of the desert by leading the team? Now that we encounter a sand wolf, what should we do? You can find a way for us?..."

Before he finished speaking, the older man next to him pulled the young man and whispered: "Hanwen, shut up, say a few less words, you will die."

Seeing the rest of the people looking at their bad eyes, the young man who had just spoken lowered his head and rubbed the sand back and forth with his heels, wondering what he was muttering in his mouth.

"Don't panic now. The sand wolf just sent an outpost to see their number in a few days. We are making a decision. Now all we can do is to rush more and rest less, and strive to catch up with the team ahead in five days, so that everyone will be much safer." Mo Zhiming said to everyone loudly;

Since the discovery of the sand wolf following in the distance, the faster everyone is traveling every day, and the less time to rest. However, some low-level monsters still came out to attack Wu Yan and others on the road. They were also injured as a seventh-level Qi Refining Cultivator, which made everyone very annoyed.

After a few days of rapid travel, there was less rest time. Shatuo was already tired, and the monks who were rushing to the road were still energetic. The number of sand wolves tracked behind him had reached more than a dozen, hanging from a distance hundreds of feet away. There was no long-distance attack. Some monks wanted to kill them, but the sand wolves immediately walked away and everyone had no choice. Mo Zhiming's face became even more gloomy than the dark clouds, and he was just constantly urging everyone to leave quickly.

On the sixth day, everyone still did not notice the team in front, but the sand wolf behind seemed to feel tired at all, so they still followed slowly.

"Fellow Daoist, can you rest? My brother has not had a good rest since he was injured. Look, Sha Tuo is moving much slower now. We are not much faster than normal when we are rushing like this." A big man riding Sha Tuo said anxiously.

"Yes, fellow Taoist, what is the situation with our sand wolf behind us? Ordinary or large groups, you can tell us, we are ready." Someone also echoed;

Mo Zhiming said silently: "I didn't expect that the six-day fast journey did not catch up with the team in front, and I couldn't even see the trace. Looking at the situation of our sand wolf behind, it should be a medium-sized sand wolf pack, usually about 60, but it may be more. We need to find a place to prepare for fighting with the sand wolf behind."

"What kind of place to look for? Isn't the desert like this? Do we have any choice?" someone asked inside;

"Yes, there is a small mountain range about two days ahead. We often rest there. There are caves in the mountains and the desert cannot cover it. In this way, our geographical location is better so that we can fight against these sand wolves. Otherwise, we will definitely not be able to stop them if so many sand wolves attacked us." Mo Zhiming said affirmatively;

"Okay, let's listen to fellow Taoist Mo and continue to travel for two more days. We work harder and if we have the ability, we can run ourselves, so that the hunchback can save some physical strength. What do you think?" One person agreed and suggested.

Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement. Some people even jumped off the sand camel and started walking. When everyone was resting in the evening, Wu Yan found that there seemed to be more numerous sand wolves around him, but they did not attack everyone and didn't know what to wait for.

Before dawn, Mo Zhiming began to ask everyone to get up and go. At this time, Mo Zhiming's eyes were covered with bloodshot, as if they had not had a good rest all night. Everyone rode the sand camel and ran forward quickly. Before noon, someone found that there were shadows of sand wolves on both sides of the crowd, and there were still quite a few.

"Be careful, it may be a large sand wolf pack, don't be too dispersed. If the sand wolf launches an attack, everyone must gather together, otherwise we will be broken in a while." Mo Zhiming shouted;

In a short while, everyone noticed that there was a sand wolf ahead, and everyone was surrounded by sand wolf. It was estimated that the sand wolf would launch a siege in a short while.
