Qi Qi was lying on a somewhat hard stone bed, surrounded by indigenous people with obscure patterns painted on their faces, and the air inside was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance. But it didn't taste good, it was very bitter, because he had drunk no less than ten bowls since yesterday.

After killing the Cancer King yesterday, the natives took him to their quarters. In order to deal with the cancer toxin in his body, he sprinkled some gray powder that he didn't recognize, and at the same time boiled a medicinal soup for him to take internally, and applied both inside and outside, and the paralysis gradually disappeared.

These indigenous people all speak the Central Plains, but most of the time they speak the local dialect. At present, although the cancer toxin is almost resolved, the wound left by the crab claws is not yet healed, and it still needs to rest for a few days.

During this time, he chatted with these indigenous people, learned some about their history and culture, and most importantly, because he rescued them, he can now enter the Yunchuan Desert.

An old man said, "Young man, thank you for saving us. Although we allow you to enter the Yunchuan Desert, we still do not recommend that you do so. There are many monsters lurking underground in the Yunchuan Desert, and although there is a very positive place in it, it is in the center of the desert. If you want to get there, you'll have to face the threat posed by all the underground monsters along the way. We can't help you, you're alone, and you're likely to have no return. Even if you are lucky enough to arrive, it will be a hassle to come back. You saved us, and we don't want you to be in danger. ”

Hearing this, Qi Qi fell silent, and after a moment, he said, "Are the monsters in the desert as strong as the previous giant crabs?"

The old man said, "Not necessarily, the Cancer is an exception, generally speaking, we belong to a safe area here, and the Cancer is a monster in the desert and will not come to us." The basic monsters all live in the desert. So there are very few people living in the desert, and we all live on the flat land outside the desert. Most of the monsters in the desert are not as strong as the Cancer, but young people, it is impossible to try their luck in doing things. There are a few extremely powerful monsters that you can't deal with at all, and if you do, you will only die. Moreover, the lack of water in the desert and the extreme lack of water for people will greatly affect their actions and thinking. ”

Qi Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then if it's on the periphery, the danger level should be greatly reduced, right?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Well, but not necessarily. Because the desert has been very strange lately, just like before, the crab group that should live in the desert has come to the territory of our human race. This is rare in the entire history. So when you get to the desert, you may not encounter powerful monsters on the periphery. ”

Qi Qi said, "But at least the probability is low, isn't it?"

The old man nodded, "Well, but there is always danger, you are our savior, we don't want you to be in danger." We don't have a solution to these monsters, and we can't help you anything other than persuade you. ”

Qi Qi said, "It's okay, you have given me a lot of important information, which is enough." I've been cultivating this trip. Cultivation is a dangerous thing, and if you give up the purpose of your coming because you are afraid, then it will be difficult to achieve success in this life. Every strong person who has reached the top has gone through life and death. If I don't even dare to go to the outskirts of a small desert, then I don't need to come here. I was mentally prepared before I came here. ”

The old man was silent for a while, then nodded, "Since you are so determined, then I can't stop you anymore." This is a rough map of the desert, with some known areas and characteristics of monsters. There is no shortage of quacks in the desert who come to explore, and you should also be careful of their calculations inside, after all, people can do anything for profit. That's all we can do. Hope you come back safely. ”

Qi Qi took the map and nodded, "Thank you, senior." ”

A few days later, Qi Qi recovered from his injuries, so he took dry food and water, carried the map, and rode a camel to the Yunchuan Desert in the north.

Following the signs on the map, he bypassed some areas frequented by monsters, and made his way all the way deep into the desert. During this period, he saw some of the old man's said that they had come to explore. Most of them travel in groups, and there are usually no less than ten people in a team, both men and women, and most of them are men. But the mounts are a little different, some are riding tigers, some are riding lions, and they don't seem to be ordinary lions and tigers, they are taller and bigger, and they give people different momentum. Maybe it's an animal with some strange blood.

These teams were dragging the remains of some monsters, and sometimes he could see these Jianghu guests feeding on monsters, eating animal flesh and drinking animal blood, and then cultivating. This reminded him of the original red-blooded cow, which was also a monster. After killing the Red Blood Ox, he drank a large amount of Red Ox blood and cultivated. During that period, under the influence of the red cow's blood, he was faintly affected by a violent aura in his heart, but his strength did increase a lot. Perhaps, generally speaking, the body of a monster is beneficial to the cultivation of a martial artist, otherwise why don't these people just eat dry food?

This is a question worth studying, if the monster body is really helpful to the cultivation of a martial artist, then he can also hunt monsters to help him cultivate like these people in the future.

At least the red-blooded cattle have proven it.

Stepping into the desert, as he gradually went deeper, he found that the masculine here was indeed much stronger than the outside world, and if he cultivated the Xuanyang Sutra here, the effect should be relatively good.

Nearly two hours later, he was probably in the middle of the desert, some distance from the core, but he didn't dare to go any further. Just now, he witnessed a group of centaurs being killed by monsters that scurried out of the ground. The reason why he didn't come to the rescue was because this team had also attacked another team before he died. He will not save anyone who does such an act.

The desert is dangerous, but some places are relatively safe. Qi Qi got the map given by the old man, and he was able to walk through the desert like a fish in water. Now he chose a safer position, put down his luggage, and began to cultivate.

The scorching breath of the desert seeped into his body permeated, and every bone and flesh of his flesh gradually became swollen and hot. It had been more than two hours since he entered the Yunchuan Desert, and his body had already swelled and heated to a suitable level.

He urged the Xuanyang Sutra to absorb the surrounding heaven and earth vitality into his body, relying on the fierce qi in the desert to refine these heaven and earth vitality, and after a week, it turned into a blazing Xuanyang vitality and stored it in the dantian.

Before that, his True Qi realm had already reached the First Order Xiaocheng, which was some distance away from Dacheng, but it was not far away. If you want to break through to the second order, you have to advance to the Great Order, then to the consummation, and finally break through the shackles of the realm, before you can advance to the second order. With each level of ascension, the true qi intensity of the martial artist will be doubled, or even doubled or tripled, which is not the same before the promotion.

The extremely positive qi in the desert was endless, and it was only a matter of time before he cultivated to the second order.

The urging of the Xuanyang Sutra would cause the extremely positive qi around Qi Qi to pour into his body. Because the input was greater than the consumption, as the cultivation progressed, more and more extremely positive qi was retained in his body. If you want to solve this problem, you can only go to the normal environment and use the Xuanyang Sutra to refine these extremely positive qi. Otherwise, if you keep here, the extremely positive qi in your body will only accumulate more and more. If the extremely positive qi is too strong, it will affect the cultivation and strength of the martial artist, but at least in the short term, there is no need to worry about this problem.

Gradually, Qi Qi felt a feeling of comfort in his body. Because of the cultivation of the Xuanyang Sutra, the swelling heat was a tonic for him. He loved it. As his cultivation progressed, the heat in his body became more and more, and he felt more and more comfortable. It's like a fish in water. Such as swallows soaring in the sky.

More than ten days have passed since this cultivation. These days, Qi Qi has almost run out of his water source. Because the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi already contains a certain amount of water, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into the body can replenish a certain amount of water, so the water bag he brought when he came was for him to use until now, but it is almost used up.

At this time, he suddenly stopped his cultivation and looked ahead, only to see that at the end of his sight, several figures poked their heads out of the desert dust, and then gradually approached him, and the figures became clearer and clearer.

He didn't know why these people were here, but he was sure he didn't know them.

The figure of the person who came became clearer and clearer, and gradually, the whole picture was revealed. Qi Qi calculated, there were thirteen people in total, both men and women. When these people approached, Qi Qi asked, "Are you looking for me?"

The man in the lead said, "Were you cultivating just now?"

Qi Qi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is asking about this?"

The man said coldly, "If I ask you, you will answer, and if you don't ask anything else, don't mention it." ”

Qi Qi frowned, "If Your Excellency says so, I won't be able to do what you want." ”

"Hehe," the man smiled faintly, and at this time, two people came to his side, exuding the aura on his body to suppress Qi Qi.

But then they felt a sigh in their hearts, why couldn't the momentum of the three of them suppress this man?

After thinking about it, they rejected the idea, how could it be so strong? It must be their delusion.

The man said lightly, "I'll give you a chance to revise your statement." ”

Qi Qi said fearlessly, "If Your Excellency has a better attitude, I have no reason not to tell you what you want to know from me." But if you have such an attitude, then please go back. ”

The man sneered, "Don't you understand a little? I'm not discussing with you, I'm ordering you, sue, sue, me!"

Qi Qi looked directly into the man's eyes, "Then my answer is also very clear, you, please, back." ”

"Hehe, interesting," the man smiled and nodded, his face suddenly sank, and the long knife came out of the sheath, and he slashed at Qi Qi!
