Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 50 Night Attack
He only muttered a few words; he wouldn't actually go over and try to pull open the tent. He was absolutely certain that even if he went over there, he would only get a "get lost" in return. Putting himself in the man's shoes, he wouldn't let a man into his tent either. He didn't want to invite trouble with such an obvious outcome, so it was better for him to stay put.

He didn't care too much about what would happen inside the tent.

It's just a matter between men and women.

The night is getting darker.

In the void, the golden calamity moon already hung high.

The camp was silent. The daytime casualties were a different kind of shock to everyone. Some people were resting, while others were really half-asleep, their minds in a daze, not understanding what was going to happen.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep.

Without warning, on the soft sand in the camp, the sand suddenly began to move, and an arm wrapped in white bandages emerged directly from under the yellow sand. It looked quite eerie, but when it touched the light emitted by the Shouzheng Lantern, the arm made a strange 'sizzling' sound, as if water had fallen into a pot of boiling oil, and even the bandages became tattered.

The arm that emerged from the sand retreated back under the same spot.

Such scenes were almost constantly occurring throughout the camp.

The rustling sound did indeed send chills down one's spine, waking many who were fast asleep. Yet, no one dared to move easily, instead looking towards the direction of the guardian lantern with a hint of anticipation, hoping that the lantern would be effective in protecting the camp and allowing them to spend the night in peace.

"Is this the danger from the Moon of Golden Sands? Arms wrapped in bandages, trying to crawl out, could it be a mummy or some other desiccated corpse?"

Su Yue lay on the tent, watching the arms that kept popping out of the camp outside and then retracting, her eyes filled with increasing sense of danger.

"It should be a mummy. According to the information we got from Chief Liang and the others, mummies are one of the most common evil spirits in the desert. Many mummies can move freely in the yellow sand and even control the power of the sandstorm. This lamp is a real treasure. It has a strong restraining effect on evil spirits like mummies and can play a role in dispelling evil spirits and providing protection."

Hu Youni looked at the lantern of upholding righteousness with a burning gaze.

This lantern is undoubtedly a treasure. Without it, at least dozens of mummies would have appeared in the camp just now. If you were in a dream and encountered a mummy, it would be pure suicide. You would definitely be injured if you were caught off guard.

brush! !

Just when many people thought that the Guardian Lantern could withstand the invasion from the mummy, suddenly, a private car in the camp began to collapse into the ground without warning. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that under the car, there were arms wrapped in bandages grabbing the tires, chassis, and other parts, and suddenly contracting downwards, forcibly pulling the entire car under the yellow sand in less than a few breaths.

The speed was so fast that the survivors inside the car didn't even have a chance to react before they were buried underground.

Underneath the vehicle was a place clearly beyond the reach of the lights. The light's effect on the mummies was greatly reduced. Although it still caused harm, it couldn't stop their desire to attack. The enemy found an opening and launched a fatal attack.

At the same time, other vehicles were also seen to change, with corpse claws beginning to pull and tug.

"Quickly, everyone, get out of the car! There's a mummy. Get ready to fight!"

Tian Buqi let out a shout.

In fact, the people inside the camp had already been awakened. Upon discovering that their cars had been pulled underground, they rushed out of their vehicles without hesitation. They were incredibly fast, since the car windows were already broken, making it easy for them to crawl out.

Soon, a large number of survivors stood on the sandy ground of the camp, holding various weapons, ready to fight at any moment.

On Baxia Dragon Lord's side, the python tent was also put away. Ji Tianhao and the others also assumed fighting stances. Qi Lin, who had been lying in the car, had already jumped out and climbed onto Baxia's back. Even Liu San hadn't noticed when he approached, and seeing that no one objected, he immediately climbed onto the turtle's back.

At the same time, he quickly shared the information he knew: "This should be the most common type of Calamity Soldier in the Golden Sand Moon. Born alongside the Calamity Moon, these soldiers only appear at night, appearing when the Calamity Moon appears and disappearing when it vanishes. They instinctively attack all life, treating humans and other races equally." "These mummies possess the ability to escape through the desert. After being killed, their special Calamity Qi gathers together, with a chance to condense into a special Calamity Treasure Chest on the battlefield. Only one thing will be born inside the Calamity Treasure Chest: the Ruins Coin. The more you kill, the more Ruins Coins you condense, and the higher their quality. This is the most important resource in the Ruins, and a currency recognized by all races and powerful beings."

Liu San did not hide anything and decisively revealed the information he knew.

While defending against and defeating the Calamity Soldiers and Beasts, there will also be rewards. These Calamity Soldiers and Beasts represent the power of the Calamity Moon, which is the most fundamental manifestation of the rules of the Ruins. After defeating them, the special power contained within these Calamity Soldiers will converge. Once their numbers reach a certain threshold, they will condense into Calamity Treasure Chests. The resulting items are the most essential energy manifestation within the Ruins: Ruins Coins.

The Guixu Coin contains special energy. Once one successfully enters the ranks of cultivators, one can absorb the energy contained in the Guixu Coin to strengthen oneself. However, ordinary people cannot absorb the energy within the Guixu Coin. Only after truly stepping into the threshold of cultivation and activating a life force field within one's body can one draw upon the power contained within the Guixu Coin using one's own life force field. In this process, once the energy within is activated, it must be refined at the fastest speed.

Otherwise, what cannot be absorbed will simply dissipate into the void, a pure waste.

According to statistics, if a person has just awakened their life force field and has not yet condensed any runes, they can only absorb 20% of the energy contained in the Refined Ruins Coin at a time, which is one-fifth. The rest will dissipate.

If a snake pattern is formed, the energy absorbed will increase by two layers, reaching 40%.

When the python pattern appears, the efficiency of absorbing the energy of the Guixu coin will increase by two levels again, reaching 60%.

When the dragon pattern appears, it's 80%.

When the dragon pattern appears, it will reach perfection.

In other words, the benefits gained from absorbing the same Guixu coin can vary drastically, creating a huge difference. Absorbing only 20% versus 100% is not just a waste, but also a matter of efficiency.

This is why many cultivators strive desperately to improve the quality of their life essence. The level of these magical runes represents the evolution and transformation of the life essence. This is an insurmountable barrier that no one can envy.

Without other cultivation resources, even if you know that absorbing is a waste when your cultivation level is low, if you don't choose to waste them, you can only choose to stagnate. This is the stark reality.

When facing calamity soldiers and beasts, one can obtain Calamity Treasure Chests, from which one can acquire Ruin Coins, something many people dream of—visible cultivation resources. This is both a disaster and an opportunity.

These are resources that can be seen.

Many people are both terrified and hopeful when faced with monstrous creatures or monsters.

"kill!!"

"These mummies are nothing to be afraid of. Just smash their heads and they'll die anyway."

"Kill! If you don't kill, you'll be killed. If you want to live, make your move!"

“Talent? Even if we’re not cultivators, we still have talent. Those with offensive talents don’t need to hide them; let’s all use them.”

The homeless people at the camp had already expertly taken out their weapons and began attacking the mummies that had appeared.

The area illuminated by the lanterns was limited; the mummies could not appear inside the camp, but they could appear outside.

Puff puff! !

Mummies, their bodies wrapped in bandages, emerged from the desert like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
