485 Scarab (Order!Collect!)
The climate of the desert, like the climate of the sea, is somewhat fickle. It was very sudden when it arose, and it was also surprising when it calmed down, and the long yellow sand seemed to suddenly lose momentum, and they fell to the ground one after another, and in an instant the sky was clear, and there was not a single cloud in sight.
Murong Xianxian stopped the flying sword and landed on a sand dune, putting Professor Qian and Fu Ying down...... The two of them were a little dizzy, and they stood there for a while before they stabilized their figures. All around are desert yellow sand, undulating sand dunes far and near, there are no storms, and there are no those terrifying and disgusting monsters, if it weren't for the fact that the terrain under their feet has changed, and the companions around them are not complete, the two of them would still think that they are doing Chu.
"Where are we?" asked Professor Qian a little dazedly, his hand still holding the box for fear of losing it.
"I don't know. Murong Xianxian shook his head.
"What about the monsters? Are they all gone?"
Fu Ying was more concerned about whether those dried corpses would appear. For ordinary people, although the sandstorm is terrifying, it is still within the scope of understanding, but the monsters formed by dried corpses and sand are more tests of people's endurance, although they have been replenished in advance, but it is still difficult to bear.
"I don't know...... It's gone for now, right?"
Murong Xianxian was not sure, that energy had a stronger and stronger feeling, as if some ancient god was really about to awaken, and the most peculiar thing was that the immortal tree in her body actually resonated with this energy, absorbing this energy in a wisp・・・・・・ but this energy seemed to have some impurities, and the energy that could be favored by the immortal tree was very rare.
"Old Qian, look ahead, how can there be a black desert?" Fu Ying suddenly pointed to the desert in front of him and asked.
Black desert?
Murong Xianxian was shocked when she heard this--she had seen it when the sandstorm subsided just now, it was a completely normal desert, how could it be black?
Standing behind the sand dunes, the field of vision is very vast, only more than a thousand meters away from them, like the Chuhan River boundary, a black horizontal and longitudinal appeared, the border can not be seen at a glance, corresponding to the yellow desert, very weird.
"Black desert?" Professor Qian also showed a suspicious look on his face, "The black desert is not nothing, it is caused by local geology or other reasons, but this phenomenon has not been found in the desert of Egypt, and this needs to be sampled." As he spoke, the old man picked up his suitcase and was about to go to work.
"Professor Qian, don't move. ”
Murong Xian Xian's face froze, and the immortal tree in his heart suddenly appeared in his hand.
"What is this?"
Professor Qian and Fu Ying both came over.
Comparatively speaking, the image of the immortal tree is very magnificent, like a handicraft carved from a foot high jasper, and people can feel the vitality contained in it.
Murong Xianxian didn't answer directly, these two people knew about the cultivator's existence, and now they were just curious rather than surprised, so she didn't have to be obscure, otherwise she would be knocked unconscious directly.
The silent chanting of the incantation in his heart injected the magic power into the immortal tree, and the immortal tree suddenly emitted a circle of blue brilliance, and almost at the same time, everyone seemed to hear the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves. As soon as Murong raised his hand slightly, the immortal tree flew out suddenly, landing on the ground dozens of meters away from the tree in front of him, and the space seemed to tremble suddenly, and the small tree that was a few feet tall grew rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it had grown into a big tree more than three meters high, and the roots were even deeper into the ground・・・・・・ deep in the underground that no one could see, and the roots of the long creature quickly sucked the effective energy in that energy. From time to time, the branches and leaves and trunks flashed with brilliance, and the trunks grew from thin to thick, and the shade began to thicken.
"Magical ......" Fu Ying stood there, her eyes widening.
Although Professor Qian is not a biologist or an expert in the study of the occult, when he sees the unknown, he still has the idea of 'researching, "Murong, can I take a closer look?"
The thing is Murong Slim, and he won't walk over directly to the old professor with a big grin, and there is still some sense of proportion.
"Of course, it won't attack you. Murong Xianxian made a gesture of please.
The Immortal Tree is a very magical witch treasure...... She even suspected that this was a higher-class treasure that didn't even belong to anyone who could refine it...... Or a special creature. Not only can it absorb the aura and exude energy that is beneficial to the cultivation of the human body, but it can also be like releasing a group buff spell・・・・・・ as long as it stands within its effective range, the body will get the greatest nourishment. But the most important thing is that this treasure also has attack and defense effects, but the use of these two effects has not yet been comprehended by her, and can only be passively activated.
The reason why she used this magic weapon was because Murong Xianxian found that there was a trace of life energy in the strange energy underground, which made her think of those dry corpses that were already dead. Those dried corpses are not zombies caused by biochemical viruses, they have lost their vitality, whether from the soul or body tissue. However, although the life energy contained in that strange energy cannot truly resurrect them, it can allow a dead thing to temporarily possess what only living beings can do, and if these energies are eliminated, it will be difficult for those dead things to maintain their mobility.
The desert is so vast, a small amount of loss does not mean anything, but as more and more energy is lost, a being in the dark let out an angry roar, like a silent and invisible storm passing through the desert, although it can't be seen, Murong Xianxian can feel the anger.
Rustle rustle......
A palpitating voice came from afar...... The sound was so loud that it looked like a river was rushing towards them.
"What's that sound?"
All three looked ahead.
"How can the black desert ・・・・・・ move in the ・・・・・・?" Fu Yingyi looked like he had seen a ghost.
"It's not the Black Desert that moves. ”
Murong Xianxian took a deep breath, "That's a bug. ”
"Bugs, if it's bugs... ・・・”
Fu Ying's face turned pale, even if he had never seen a live pig run, he had eaten dead pork, would the insects in the desert be vegetarian?
Murong Xianxian's face also became solemn, it's nothing if it's a bug, she can fly with those two people, but if the bug can also fly...... That's a shame, she absolutely believes that those black bugs are more terrible than mosquitoes.
"Wait here, don't leave this tree. Murong Xian Xian's expression was solemn, and he stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the insect swarm.
When I got closer, I could naturally see it clearly, it was a black beetle, with sharp mouthparts and fast movements, and the most terrible situation appeared-a large part of them had cicada-like wings, seeing her flying over, those insects spread their wings to meet her, Murong Xianxian quickly caught one, and immediately flew away with his sword, more and more beetles flew up and chased her, but after flying for a distance and couldn't catch up, they fell back to the swarm one after another.
"This is a scarab beetle, don't you think it's familiar? It's commonly known as the dung shell, and in ancient Egypt it was revered as a sacred worm. However, these scarab beetles have sharper mouthparts than normal ones and have extra wings, possibly a mutated variety. Professor Qian immediately recognized the origin of the insect.
"Why is it called a divine worm?" Fu Ying asked.
"Humans have long recognized the role of beetles. Some scholars believe that the ancient Egyptians' tradition of mummifying kings and burying them in pyramids was modeled after the custom of burying the larvae of scarab beetles in dung balls. Just as beetles sprout new life from their dung, the Egyptians believed that their pharaohs would also be reborn from their buried cocoons. ”
After Professor Qian finished explaining, he looked at the swarm that was getting closer and closer: "I have never seen any record of such a large number of scarab beetles gathering together. ”
"Aren't we ・・・・・・ running?" Fu Ying asked, but when she looked behind her, a look of despair suddenly appeared on her face, they were already surrounded by scarabs.
Sand ・・・・・・
Countless scarab beetles surrounded the three people in an orderly manner, Murong Xianxian raised her eyes, and saw that those scarabs were surging in waves, and she couldn't see the edge at all・・・・・・ she couldn't imagine that because of the absorption of the immortal tree, they had been characterized as the most dangerous enemies, and all the scarab beetles were concentrated here.
Murong Xianxian really didn't dare to break through, because she didn't know how many insects there were, how strong the attack power was, and most importantly, the Immortal Tree had already fed back a message to her - it needed to devour a lot of those energies, which helped to improve its quality, as long as it devoured enough energy to let it evolve, it could further exert its effectiveness.
Is this a witch treasure or a creature?
Murong Xianxian was very puzzled, but she didn't dare to hesitate, she reached out and quickly took out a set of magic weapons from the storage bracelet and threw them into the sky・・・・・・ after the eight clear sounds, the magic weapon turned into eight essence lights and disappeared into the desert according to the direction of the eight trigrams.
On the other side of the desert, two teams of humans are fighting - one of them is a living person, and the other side is a movable corpse, although the combat strength is not the same, but those dry corpses are lifeless・・・・・・ they are not afraid of injury, they are not afraid of death, and they have no fear, they only know that they want to tear apart the flesh and blood life in front of them, and snatch the life energy in their bodies.
In front of it, there are three people wearing ancient armor, as well as two thin monks, two huge green pythons dodging the hammer blow of the giant, while attacking the giant, but no matter what the attack, at most it can only make the giant drop some gravel, and there are at least more than ten mutilated corpses on the ground.
Suddenly, the corpses that were besieging everyone fell down one by one, and after the giant let out an angry roar, the huge body actually began to disintegrate, turning into a small mountain of sand in an instant, and everyone looked at each other as this qiē ・・・・・・ victory came in an unexpected way, making everyone feel like a dream.
