Chapter 546: 1 group of thorough
Meng Zhang had hidden worries in his heart, but he was helpless. The battle between Primordial Spirit True Monarch and Fifth Rank great power was at a level that was too high for him to intervene. He could only wait for the outcome.
Experiencing this sense of powerlessness once again made Meng Zhang feel frustrated, and it took a long time for him to calm down. He really wanted to lead the team and leave immediately, away from this conflict. However, if he were to do so, not only would he not pass True Monarch Tian Zhu's test, but even Jin Li Daoist Master, who was supervising the battle from behind, would not allow it.
Meng Zhang could only be more cautious and specifically instructed a few trusted individuals in the team. If the situation was not favorable, everyone should retreat immediately.
The situation encountered after entering the Deadly Sea of Sand seemed to be a bit exaggerated in Meng Zhang's mind. Along the way, the four armies encountered many sand monsters, but their levels were not high, and they could be easily eliminated.
Without the influence of the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit in the Deadly Sea of Sand, many spells and divine abilities could be freely used without obstruction. Although the nests of the sand monsters were buried deep underground, the Gold Core Daoist Masters had various means to slowly locate them. Especially Meng Zhang, who secretly used the Grand Evolving Fortune, could easily deduce the whereabouts of these sand monster nests.
As a master of divination, although he did not have the ability to deduce the battle between the Fifth Rank great power and True Monarch Tian Zhu, it was relatively easy for him to deduce the locations of these low-level sand monster nests.
These sand monster nests were not of high level and could only breed First Rank and Second Rank sand monsters. After completely destroying them, they could still harvest some spirit source beads.
Unconsciously, the cultivator team from Taiyi Sect had actually destroyed the most sand monster nests and achieved the most glorious results.
Speaking of divine abilities, Meng Zhang's other divine ability, Mind Reading, also advanced after he reached the Gold Core stage, but he used it less frequently. After entering the Gold Core stage, cultivators developed Divine Sense, which naturally restrained their thoughts and made it difficult to probe. Moreover, many Gold Core Daoist Masters had their own methods of concealing their thoughts.
Even though Meng Zhang, as a mid-stage Gold Core cultivator, would normally find it difficult to read the thoughts of early-stage Gold Core cultivators, the Mind Reading divine ability still had its uses. It allowed Meng Zhang to roughly sense whether others had goodwill or ill intentions towards him.
The battles along the way were easy, and everyone did not feel burdened by the task.
If the expedition to the Deadly Sea of Sand could continue like this, it would be great. However, because they had not encountered a large army of powerful sand monsters, the four armies had divided into several small teams to search for the sand monster nests and destroy them, in order to increase efficiency.
Although Meng Zhang was not as optimistic as the others, he still dispatched several small teams to search for the sand monster nests and guided them on how to find and destroy them. The progress was slow, and it took the four armies more than a month to advance thousands of miles into the Deadly Sea of Sand.
It was at this time that an anomaly occurred. First, a small team sent by Flying Swan Sect to search for sand monster nests did not return to the main army for a long time. Then, teams from all four armies exceeded the agreed-upon time and did not come back.
The Gold Core Daoist Masters who were in charge of each army gradually felt that something was wrong. After receiving reports, Meng Zhang used the Grand Evolving Fortune to deduce the situation. After obtaining the results, he immediately ordered the use of communication talismans to recall all the Taiyi Sect cultivator teams that were outside.
Then, he instructed Yang Xueyi to continue leading the main army while he hurriedly flew out. Meng Zhang encountered two demonic cultivators attacking a team of Taiyi Sect cultivators about 600 miles north of the main army. The two demonic cultivators were only at the Foundation Building stage and were easily eliminated by Meng Zhang, who then rescued the attacked Taiyi Sect cultivators.
After giving them a brief instruction to quickly return and join the main army, Meng Zhang flew away again. This time, about 500 miles south of the main army of Taiyi Sect cultivators, he encountered a Third Rank sand monster.
When he arrived, the Third Rank sand monster was creating a sandstorm, trapping a team of Taiyi Sect cultivators. It seemed like they were about to be overwhelmed.
