493: Treasure Hunt in the Desert (Part 2)","i-can-use-myriad-divine-abilities-chapter-493",493,"\u003Cp>Half a month later, Zhang Yuan arrived at the location marked as a red dot on the Treasure Map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ruined ancient city hidden deep within the sea of sand appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, I’m here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zhang Yuan’s strength and Cultivation had reached a high Realm, recalling the hardships and challenges of the past ten days of desert journey, he couldn’t help but express his admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the boundless desert, the most dangerous threats weren’t bandits, Fierce Beasts, or eerie occurrences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he never encountered any of those!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real danger was the sandstorms that could appear anytime in the sand sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often, when the skies were clear, a sandstorm would suddenly rush in from afar like an overwhelming tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sandstorms in the heart of the desert are extremely terrifying; the wind speeds are incredibly fast, and countless grains of sand blot out the sun, leaving no place to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If people or horses were caught in such a sandstorm, they would surely be swept up into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Zhang Yuan had anticipated the desert conditions before setting out, so he made preparations in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stored several large rocks and multiple thick stone slabs in his Storage Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Red-eyed Crow detected an approaching sandstorm, Zhang Yuan would immediately retrieve the rocks and slabs from his Storage Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with utmost speed, he would build a small stone hut that, though simple, was highly sturdy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large rocks he stored weighed tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand pounds each, serving as a trump card against large targets and easily withstanding the sandstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a rapidly built temporary shelter, Zhang Yuan sheltered with his Yellow Steed inside, unafraid of the sandstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the worst-case scenario, the stone hut might get half buried by sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, sometimes the sandstorm would last several days, significantly delaying his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he couldn’t have taken half a month to reach his destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan dismounted and first fed his hardworking and meritorious steed enough food and water before setting it to rest nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then circled the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient city was vast in area, comparable in scale to the Daqian Prefecture City, likely a Royal City in ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, most of the city had been destroyed and buried by wind and sand, leaving very little of it above ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it didn’t take Zhang Yuan much time to understand the situation of the ancient city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What puzzled him, however, was that although the treasure markers on the Treasure Map were located here,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the reality left Zhang Yuan unsure of how to proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasure was surely beneath the ruins, but without finding an entrance, he couldn’t just dig randomly and hope for the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhang Yuan recalled the Xia Ruins, where he once caught a Silver-furred Rat in its underground labyrinth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave him some ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neigh～\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sudden cry of the Yellow Steed reached Zhang Yuan’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the steed’s cry was incredibly shrill, as if it were under attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the distance, Zhang Yuan immediately shifted his perspective to the Red-eyed Crow patrolling the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his astonishment, he discovered a large hole on the ground where the Yellow Steed had been resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive \"Sand Worm\" emerged several meters high, seizing the struggling Yellow Steed in its tooth-filled maw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor steed, utterly helpless, bloodied and with broken bones, was devoured alive by this sand monster armored in earthy yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan erupted in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected his negligence to let a monster intrude, claiming the life of the steed that had accompanied him over ten thousand miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a disgrace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan suddenly drew his saber from its sheath, launching himself like an Arrow Leaving the Bowstring toward the Sand Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he simultaneously activated the Black Giant Ant, Golden Grasshopper, and Jade Mantis as Hosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To augment himself with heightened Strength, agility, and Sword Technique Profound Communication!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a breath, Zhang Yuan closed in on his target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desert monster at this moment was swallowing the mashed Yellow Steed in a few swift bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having hunted successfully, it began retracting into the burrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a razor-sharp Sword Aura sliced through the air, cutting across the gap and striking the carapace on the monster’s head-neck junction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a brilliant yellow flame erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desert monster’s body measured five to six feet in diameter, its entire body armored in thick earthy-yellow shells, clearly possessing strong defensive capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Aura Zhang Yuan unleashed was indomitable but merely managed to barely breach the monster’s defense in one strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t penetrate any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, following the Sword Aura, Zhang Yuan dashed forward, thrusting his Taowu Saber, radiating fiery red Blood Evil Qi, heavily into the crack that the Sword Aura barely opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desert monster’s massive head flew skyward, dark yellow ichor gushing wildly from the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having succeeded in beheading with one slash, Zhang Yuan deftly withdrew to avoid being splattered by the monster’s ichor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His caution proved entirely justified, as the ichor on the sand emitted wisps of gray smoke, strongly corroding the sand itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the severed worm body writhed violently in the burrow for a moment before rapidly decomposing and melting at a visible rate, spewing forth billowing gray poison smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was utterly appalling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the severed head, it was no exception; even the hard carapace was wholly corroded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Zhang Yuan without a single trophy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have time for an offering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an incense stick’s time, only a dark, gaping hole remained in the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading into unknown underground perils!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Zhang Yuan shed his outer garments and stored them in the Storage Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he activated the Dragon Carp Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan hadn’t used this Profound Artifact in quite some time, mainly because its defense was quite ordinary, only displaying its true capabilities in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he armed himself once more with the Dragon Carp Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, gripping the Taowu Saber, he leaped into the Sand Worm’s burrow ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuan wanted to see if he could use this burrow to find the treasure’s location!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Sand Worm’s diameter was five to six feet, its burrow could easily accommodate a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the tunnel walls were tightly compacted, lined with viscous fluids, and didn’t seem likely to collapse soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Zhang Yuan’s descent was a substantial risk; if the tunnel collapsed, it would be incredibly perilous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yuan sensed that this was likely his only chance to find the treasure point for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mis step, and once this tunnel vanished, seeking it slow and steady could require immeasurable time and effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, with a fierce determination fearful of any mistake,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he resolutely took the risk!\u003C\u002Fp>",1161,"2026-06-06T13:54:04.658Z",1,"novelbin.me","a698ffde62ff626c153adb0e5725440ed89b83d6ae25c7166d26a1dc92b7c43c","i-can-use-myriad-divine-abilities-chapter-494","i-can-use-myriad-divine-abilities-chapter-492",497,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-use-myriad-divine-abilities-cover.jpg"]
