he could only advance quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, in the distant sky, an outline of a ruin eroded by wind and sand appeared, suspended in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ruins seemed to have been abandoned for many years, looking dilapidated and worn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mirage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or an illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not the first time he had seen such ethereal visions in the Endless Desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These apparitions sometimes vanished in an instant, while at other times, they lingered for several hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After contemplating for a moment, Song Wen flew toward the outline of the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He traversed through the swirling yellow sand for two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when he had chased those phantoms in the past, until the illusion gradually faded, he saw nothing but yellow sand around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Song Wen soared through the air, he noticed something move beneath the sand dune—a patch of yellow sand suddenly stirred, revealing a sand pit the size of a water jar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if something underground was pushing against the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally spotting something unusual in the otherwise monotonous yellow sand, Song Wen immediately halted his flight, suppressed his presence, and focused intently on observing the sand dune below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, the patch of yellow sand stilled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for about half a tea time, the sand pit showed no further movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, about ten feet away from the sand pit, suddenly, the yellow sand exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A towering figure, six feet tall, leaped out from beneath the yellow sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a being that looked extremely bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature had a lizard-like head, but human-like limbs, with both hands and feet being very broad, adorned with sharp claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick tail trailed behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tail was about four feet long, dragging on the ground and constantly swaying from side to side, sweeping up the yellow sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its left hand, the lizardman grasped a long worm that measured three feet in length.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm was already dead, hanging limply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lizardman carried the worm and stepped forward, moving swiftly between the various sand dunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen floated in the air, following closely behind, keeping pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lizardman emitted no spiritual energy fluctuations, yet its physical strength was surprisingly powerful, comparable to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lizardman moved quickly, covering two or three thousand feet in just over two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea how it discerned direction in the vast expanse of yellow sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the lizardman began to slow down as it reached its destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen had hoped that the lizardman would lead him to an oasis, but that wish was dashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What lay below was not an oasis but a cluster of buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building complex looked just like the mirage Song Wen had seen not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Song Wen realized that this was not some ancient ruin but rather a settlement built by a group of low-intelligence beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buildings were haphazardly scattered, with several houses constructed from piled stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stones varied in size and were stacked together in a very crude manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a group of unruly children had randomly piled blocks, and it seemed like they could collapse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were riddled with holes and gaps, some of which were large enough for a person to crawl through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a place where wind whistled through from all sides, with yellow sand blowing across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stones used for building the houses were not natural stone materials but rather bound together by yellow sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within these houses, there were no fewer than a thousand lizardmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both male and female lizardmen were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Song Wen had seen that the one he encountered was a male.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy to distinguish between the male and female lizardmen; the females had two protrusions on their chests that resembled those of a cow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male lizardman holding the long worm was among the top-tier individuals among these lizardmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lizardman carried the long worm, weaving through the dilapidated houses, heading toward the center of the settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a grander and more imposing house stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This house was built from actual stone blocks, which were grayish-blue in color; it was unclear where they had been transported from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crumbling houses, several small lizardmen appeared, gazing hungrily at the long worm in the male lizardman's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked like starving children who had long been deprived of food upon seeing something to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, small lizardmen emerged from the houses, trailing behind the male lizardman as they made their way to the central blue stone house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, a group of no fewer than fifty small lizardmen gathered behind the male lizardman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving outside the blue stone house, the male lizardman began to screech loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A water bag, the size of a basin, was thrown out from the blue stone house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joy spread across the male lizardman's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It caught the water bag with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tilting its head back, it opened its mouth wide and began to drink eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clear water dripped from the corners of its mouth, falling onto the yellow sand below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, it was buried beneath the yellow sand, disappearing without a trace, leaving only faint spiritual energy behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, a large bag of clear water was gulped down into its stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the long worm it had been holding, it was casually tossed aside on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small lizardmen surged forward, tearing at the long worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the worm was ripped to shreds, consumed by the swarm of small lizardmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For dozens of small lizardmen to share a single long worm was hardly enough to fill their hungry bellies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cleaned the long worm to the last morsel, wasting nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the black viscous liquid that flowed from the worm's body and fell into the yellow sand was eagerly scooped up by the small lizardmen and swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking all the water, the male lizardman appeared exhilarated, shaking its head as it headed toward a broken-down house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the dilapidated house were two female lizardmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the sounds of 'yi yi ya ya' echoed from within, the voices particularly shrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From high in the sky, Song Wen watched with great interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These lizardmen possessed strong physical bodies but had no spiritual energy or spiritual awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They perceived their surroundings entirely through sight and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What intrigued Song Wen the most was that within the central blue stone house of the settlement, there resided a human cultivator—a male cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this individual who had just given the male lizardman a bag of clear water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that bag of water contained a significant amount of spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun set in the west, and night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flickering lights appeared sporadically within the settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lizardmen returned to their respective houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen descended from the sky and landed outside the blue stone house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friend, may I trouble you to open the door for a chat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the stone house sat a middle-aged male cultivator, who was in the midst of meditative practice. Upon hearing Song Wen's words, he suddenly jolted awake, springing to his feet with a look of shock on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person had appeared outside, and he had been completely unaware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be said that the cultivation level of the person outside was far superior to his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of the Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read (RDC) ahead on (pa treon. com\u002FCinderTL) –Chapter 562.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early access starts at $5.
