Chapter 268: Desert Daughter
Under the vast desert starry sky, the three of them walked slowly together, and along the way, they were forced by Song Xuan's inquiry, and Qing Ming had to tell him what happened to him for a while.
Although the narrative was extremely brief, Song Xuan and Xing Jingling listened to it with thrillingness, especially when they heard that he could survive the siege of two Martial Emperors and a Second Emperor alone on the top of the cliff, both of them dropped their jaws.
"Demon! perverted!" the two said in unison.
When asked if he was carrying a divine object and how he appeared in the Fog Continent, Qing Ming just shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on, and he was in the Fog Continent as soon as he woke up.
Qing Ming was in a state of coma at the time, and naturally he didn't know that he had teleported there through the underground waterway at the top of the cliff.
As for being asked if there was an artifact, Qing Ming was vague and brushed aside, and Xingjingling was inexplicable and didn't know whether it was true or not.
Song Xuan knew Qing Ming's temperament, and if he didn't want to say that anyone forced him, he wouldn't say it.
Everyone has their own secrets, and Song Xuan is no exception. He looked at Xing Jingling and asked Qing Ming reluctantly, so he hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Jingle the bell! We've been walking for most of the night, how long will it take to get to your star family's stone village!"
Song Xuan's sudden interjection interrupted Xing Jingling's thought of continuing to ask, she glanced at Song Xuan, and said unhurriedly: "It's almost there!"
Along the way, they all followed the path guided by the star jingle bell and walked in the depths of the dangerous desert, and they did not encounter any danger.
Qing Ming felt puzzled in his heart, usually he walked alone in the desert, and he would always encounter some demon beasts hidden in the desert, some of which were even very strong, and he could only be afraid and take a detour.
Even after coming here for more than half a year, he still couldn't figure out the rules of the survival of demon beasts here, and he didn't dare to walk alone in some more remote places.
Along the way, Xingjingling didn't do too many other actions, except for crackling and talking, and then focused on listening to his own experience.
Then how did she bypass the demon beasts under the yellow sand along the way!
Qing Ming raised his doubts, only to see Xingjingling giggle a few times.
"This is our instinct, the innate ability of the desert daughter, you outsiders don't know how to drop!"
"Then what are your innate instincts?" Song Xuan smiled playfully.
"It's a gut feeling! Don't believe you throw a pebble twenty paces to the left and see what happens?"
"Why can't I feel anything nearby?" Song Xuan didn't believe Xingjingling's words, lowered his head and picked up a dry grass rhizome, and casually threw it in the direction Xingdingling said.
The dry grass rhizome seemed to be light and weightless, but when it came to Song Xuan's hand, it changed, and the rhizome came out of his hand and flew towards the yellow sand in the distance like an arrow off the string.
There was a low creeping sound in the night sky, the sound of a rhizome cutting through the air.
Xing Jingling secretly exclaimed that Song Xuan's operation, anything around him could be used as a weapon in his hands.
At the moment when the grass stalk touched the surface of the yellow sand, a strange scene appeared, only to see a demon beast suddenly jump up on the surface of the sand and gravel, which was originally very calm, swallowing the grass stalk at once, and then flashed and hid under the desert again.
The monster beast had countless legs, and its head was about six pairs of tentacles, and it was a hexagonal centipede.
The hexagonal centipede appears and disappears quickly, and the whole process takes less than a breath.
If a person walked into that area, he would have been dragged into the desert by the hexagonal centipede before he could react, and there would be no corpse.
Song Xuan looked at all this with a stunned expression, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he didn't know what to say.
"Look, I didn't lie to you!" Xingjingling's words rang in Song Xuan's ears.
"You really have this ability!" Song Xuan had to believe at this time that for the environment here, Xingjingling was indeed the king here.
"Hee-hee......" Xingding Bell let out a silver bell-like laugh again, "Actually, I don't have any ability, but I have lived here for many years, and I am familiar with the habits of the demon beasts living here!"
"Just like humans living by the sea, they know how to tell the tide to rise and fall, and where there is something hidden under the beach. This is based on years of accumulated experience, and the same is true when we live in the depths of the desert. ”
"As the saying goes, we rely on the sea to eat the sea, and the mountains to eat the mountains, and we naturally rely on the desert to eat the desert!"
Qing Ming nodded in agreement with Xingjingling's words, which he really deeply understood, and only people who have lived here for many years have the right to speak.
This explains why their group did not encounter any danger along the way.
However, Qing Ming still has a puzzle, how did Xingjingling find the direction of walking in the endless desert with no reference.
Jingle pointed to the starry sky above her head, a smile on her face.
Qing Ming immediately understood that even though everything in the world is changing, the stars in the sky will not change, as long as he understands some astrological techniques, then the direction of identification is naturally not a problem.
"You forgot my surname 'Xing'! Our Xing family believes in the stars in the sky. ”
"Oh!
Jingling stuck out her tongue at Qing Ming and made a mischievous grimace.
However, although her expression was still carefree, there was actually a slightly worried look between her eyebrows.
This can't be hidden from Song Xuan, and naturally it can't be hidden from Qing Ming.
It's just that they didn't ask the reason along the way.
"Alright, let's move on!" she looked up at the night sky, and the uneasiness on her face flashed.
"What's wrong?" Qing Ming walked up to her and asked with concern.
Xingjingling was stunned, she didn't show her heart along the way, and how did Qing Ming know the irritability and restlessness in her heart.
"Don't hide it, we can all see it, your eyes show that you have something on your mind! Your face lies, but your eyes don't. Song Xuan also walked over at this time.
Jingling smiled and pointed to the brightest star in the night sky and said, "Did you see that star?"
Qing Ming and Song Xuan raised their heads together, followed her fingers, and indeed saw an exceptionally bright star among the stars, but there was a faint dark red luster spreading around that star.
"That is the Sirius that our star family believes in, we worship the Sirius God, and every year today, our whole clan will sacrifice Sirius and welcome the Sirius God. Every year Sirius's glow is blue-white, but this year it turned red for some reason, so I felt a little uneasy in my heart for no reason. ”
"I've never seen a red Sirius!"
