Chapter 64: The Kurgan Desert

After saying goodbye to Zhu Xiong, Shi Yan and Arus continued to hurry, the green grass seemed to be an undulating sea, Shi Yan and Arus walked on the grass, Pucci kept jumping up and down beside the two, the breeze blew, and the two enjoyed the freshness brought by the grassland. Zhu Jing became very depressed because of Zhu Xiong's affairs, and hid in the ring for several days without moving. Shi Yan knew why she was sad, but Shi Yan didn't understand and didn't want to understand too much about adult affairs, and knew that Zhujing needed to be quiet, so he didn't bother her along the way.

When night fell, Shi Yan sat in front of the Dan furnace, put the basic medicinal materials of the 'Soul Incense Bead' into the Dan furnace one by one, urging the true qi to summon the flame and then continuously calcining and refining the medicinal materials, with the help of the 'Earth Emperor', after a while, bursts of Dan incense emanated from the Dan furnace.

Arus sat on the side, touching Puchi with one hand and dragging his chin with the other to look at Shi Yan, who was refining medicine. Thinking about the little boy who was still dirty before, he was 13 years old in a blink of an eye, and he practiced both fighting and law, and now he is not only handsome, with a row of small teeth, but also adds a small braid to himself, which looks very good from the front and from the side. Arus thought about it, suddenly thought of something, and ran to the tent and began to stir his hair.

"Poof?" Pucci looked at Arus in the tent, whose hair was too short to weave a small braid, and actually tied two cupola clutches on the top of his head.

"Puff~Puff~Puff~" Pucci clutched his stomach and laughed on the ground, his feet kept kicking on the ground, and he was jumping all over the ground with laughter.

"I'll rub, as for it?" Arus asked.

Arus said, and returned to Shi Yan's side with two cupola grabbings, Shi Yan was cleaning up the Dan furnace after refining the medicine, and when he looked up, he saw Arus first stunned, then second stunned, and finally couldn't help it, after his face was red, hahahaha laughed.

"Is it that funny?" Arus asked.

"Senior brother, you, what are you doing here? What are those two tudas on your head? Shi Yan laughed.

"Puff~Puff~Puff~" Pucci rolled around laughing.

"Sick, you guys," Arus said angrily.

The surrounding space fluctuated slightly, Zhu Jing was in a bad mood, I didn't expect that when I was so uncomfortable, it was still so lively outside, and I was just about to show up and lose my temper, when I saw Shi Yan and Pucci rolling on the ground laughing, looking back at Arus, his eyes widened, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"Even Aunt Jing is like this, is it really that funny?" Arus asked.

"You're a wonder," laughed Chai Jing.

"Is it really that bad? There's nothing for me to look at," Arus said, touching his head.

"Senior brother, what are you doing here? The styling changed so suddenly? Shi Yan asked with a smile.

"Doesn't it depend on how much you have changed? It looks like your braids are too individual, so I wanted to get one, but I didn't expect it to be meso-so," Arus said.

"Xiao Yan, he has changed a lot, but it doesn't mean that you are also suitable for this look, if you want me to see, you want to take a break, but not to tie braids" Zhu Jing smiled.

"Aunt Jing, you help me, I am under a lot of pressure to be with such a junior brother who is very good-looking and capable," Arus said.

Zhu Jing looked at Shi Yan, 13 years old, at a glance it looks like a feeling, delicate and cute, it is already like this now, it will be okay in the future, no wonder Arus will be under pressure, Zhu Jing smiled and said, "It's not in the way, my brother also changed his physique because of the strange fire back then, it seems to have changed at first glance, and if you look closely, it doesn't seem to make a big difference."

Outside the tent, beside the fire, Zhu Jing controlled the wind blade in his hand to blow up Arus's hair and shave it little by little, Shi Yan and Pucci had returned to normal, watching Arus's hair change little by little, their brows slowly wrinkled. To their surprise, Arus looked like two people after trimming her hair.

"Cool~" Shi Yan said.

"Puff~" Pucci gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe, this is the right fit for you," said Zhu Jing with a smile.

I saw that under the witness of Shi Yan and Pucci, a brand-new Arus appeared in front of them, and the thorny head that seemed to be a little messy, but the chaotic and very individual thorn made Arus's whole person look not only refreshed, but also a little more cool.

"Arus, you are a thunder attribute fighter, try your fighting spirit," said Zhu Jing.

"Huh?" Arus was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Zhu Jing, he suddenly walked up the fighting qi in the cyclone along the meridians of the thunder attribute with the mentality of giving it a try, only to see that Arus's body surface was instantly covered with a faint layer of white fighting qi, and the strange thing was that his new hairstyle was slowly swaying under the urging of the fighting qi.

"Is this still my junior brother?" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Whew~" After Arus slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, he suddenly felt a lot refreshed.

"How does it feel?" Zhu Jing asked.

"I feel my scalp chill," Arus laughed.

"Really? That's because your hair suddenly became shorter, alas~ It's a pity that this hairstyle is gone" Zhu Jing smiled helplessly.

Under the quiet trimming, after Arus and Shi Yan walked together, he had a little more confidence, every time he walked to a small river, he had to take care of his hair, he didn't expect that changing his hairstyle would change so much, and he could be so good-looking, the more he looked at it, the better he looked, and he felt a little embarrassed to see it.

"Aunt Jing? Arus, he's a pretty stupid guy, and since you cut his hair, he's been a lot worse," Shi Yan said.

"Hehe, it's the first time I've heard you comment on someone like that," said Zhu Jing with a smile.

"I really convinced him, now I don't take the bamboo tube to drink water, but to see my hairstyle, and I have to go on like this," Shi Yan asked.

"It's okay, he's just too bored all the way, and when he gets past the Chifeng Grassland, he doesn't have the heart to look at his hair when he arrives in the Kurgan Desert," said Zhu Jing with a smile.

"Kurgan Desert?" Shi Yan said.

~~~~~

The scorching sun scorched the sand, and there was a steaming yellow sand scene everywhere, Shi Yan and Arus walked on the hot desert step by step, their cloaks had already been put away, and they changed into short shirts and walked on the desert one after the other.

"Senior brother, do we have enough water?" Arus gasped for air.

"Originally, it was enough, but if you drink several bottles a day, it will soon be insufficient," Shi Yan said.

"You can't blame me, it's just that the desert is too hot," Arus said.

Shi Yan didn't expect that there was such a hot desert behind the grassland, since he went to the desert, Arus really hadn't looked at his hair, the sun was too poisonous, and the two of them didn't have the strength to do anything else along the way, and they didn't even save talking.

"Don't complain about the two of you, the harsh environment can hone a person's mind, and overcoming the environment can strengthen oneself," said Zhu Jing in the ring.

"Yes, yes, what Aunt Jing said makes the most sense," Arus said.

The two of them finally survived until dark, and the temperature dropped rapidly, which was too different from the temperature during the day, and Shi Yan and Arus had to take out the cloak again and put it on their bodies.

The desert at night is not only low in temperature, but also very windy, and blows back and forth full of sand, which can be described as pervasive, and the hair, mouth, ears, neck, and clothes of the two are full of sand~

"Senior brother, we won't be buried alive," Arus asked.

"Don't talk about being depressed, such a little sand can't bury us," Shi Yan said.

"Not necessarily," said Zhu Jing, "the Kurgan Desert is evil, I have heard some envoys mentioned in the past, and this desert is not as simple as the wind and sand."

"Could it be that there are monsters in the Kurgan Desert?" Shi Yan asked.

"It is inevitable that there will be demon beasts, in addition to demon beasts, there are more fierce ~~" Zhu Jing said.

Shi Yan's brows furrowed, and Arus looked at Zhu Jing's face suddenly gloomy as he spoke, and he had a double gloomy feeling of listening to ghosts tell ghost stories.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Demon Scorpion Emperor'?" Zhu Jing said.

"Scorpion Emperor !!" Arus was suddenly surprised.

"You know?" Shi Yan looked at Arus and asked curiously.

"I don't know," Arus said, shaking his head.

"......" Shi Yan was speechless.

"I don't know if you're surprised," Zhu Jing said.

"It's just that the name is so majestic, I've heard that the Emperor of Heaven is already very good, and now there is another Demon Scorpion Emperor, and the name alone has two more words," Arus said.

"Shut up, shut up," said Zhu Jing.

"Aunt Jing? The Scorpion Emperor has a magic word? Doesn't sound like a decent person," Shi Yan asked.

"Senior brother, you're objectively biased," Arus said.

"Shi Yan is right, the Demon Scorpion Emperor is indeed not a decent person, it is a purple giant scorpion with strong magic power in the Demon Beasts, at first it was just a warrior of the Demon Scorpion Clan, because it was born different from other warriors, so it was not taken seriously in the Demon Scorpion Clan, but as time went by, this purple giant scorpion grew at an astonishing rate, and when he was young, because he couldn't stand the discrimination against him in the clan, he killed most of the elite warriors in the clan overnight, and it is said that even the Scorpion King was killed by him" Zhu Jing said.

"Kill your own people?" Shi Yan was surprised.

"I'm rubbing, my temper is not small," Arus said.

"What's more, the clansmen are afraid of his divine might, and they have submitted to him, fortunately, this Demon Scorpion Emperor has not reached the point of madness, and those scorpions who are sincerely obedient are reused, and the combat power of the Demon Scorpion Clan has reached an unprecedented strength under his leadership, and several major Demon Beast races dare not easily offend" Zhu Jing said.

"And then?" Shi Yan asked.

"Dead, right?" Arus asked.

"There are a lot of later sayings, some people say that it unfortunately died in a certain battle, after all, it is not the only strong man, and some people say that it was killed by the thunder and fire when it was promoted to a god, but these are not credible, there is a saying that it is quite interesting~~~" Zhu Jing said.

"Aunt Jing, don't sell Guanzi," Shi Yan urged.

"Interesting?" Arus wondered.

"No, it's true, it's dead, but instead of being a god, it's becoming a demon god," said Zhu Jing.

"What kind of god is the Demon God?" Shi Yan asked.

"It is said that in addition to the human world, there are two sessions, that is, the god realm and the demon god realm, these two seem to be only one word apart, but the meaning of the representation is just the opposite, one is good, one is evil, one is in the sky and one is underground," Zhu Jing said.

"Good and evil?" Shi Yan felt that he seemed to understand something, but when he thought about it, he didn't quite understand.

"That demon god is bad, cut, I still like his name so much, only the name is majestic for a long time," Arus said.

"Senior brother, since you can hold on to the righteous path, then the demon god should be very powerful," Shi Yan said.

"Xiao Yan is right, there are indeed positive and negative trends in the world, good and evil, but the demon god has been a legend from beginning to end, as for whether it is or not, the world has not seen it" Zhu Jing said.

"I'm not afraid if I've seen them, they're just underground, I'd love to see how good they are," Arus said.

"Hehe, you just have a hard mouth, if you really come, you will definitely coax" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"I'm not talking about underground, but another world, but I can't tell what it is," said Zhu Jing.

"Oops~" Arus suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yan asked.

"Something stabbed in the butt, it hurts," Arus said as he jumped up.

Because Arus was sitting on the edge of the tent, Shi Yan could only run outside the tent to take a look, but as soon as he got out of the tent, a strong wind rolled up the yellow sand and kept blowing on Shi Yan's body, and in a blur, Shi Yan saw a looming black shadow disappear into the wind and sand.

"Aunt Jing, it seems that there is something really, but I can't see it clearly," Shi Yan said.

"No, what about my ass?" Arus asked, clutching his ass.

"I'll take a look" Shi Yan said, making Arus turn around, pull off his pants and take a look, the whole person was shocked, there was a small black spot on Arus's buttocks, but the surrounding area of this black spot was gradually blackening, and this black gas was still spreading around.

"Aunt Jing?" Shi Yan shouted.

"Oops" shouted after a glance.

"Don't scare me, won't you be stabbed, don't you be surprised," Arus said, and was just about to lift his pants when he was suddenly held down by Shi Yan.

"Don't move, Aunt Jing, what should I do?" Shi Yan said.

"Xiao Yan, is there any antidote pill for him to take first to delay the spread of the venom," Zhu Jing said.

"What kind of spread?" Arus asked.

"Yes, the clear spring water has a certain interpretation effect" Shi Yan said, handing the clear spring water to Arus, who looked at Shi Yan's appearance and knew that he was not lightly poisoned, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he drank all the clear spring water in a bamboo tube in a big gulp.

"Fortunately, this is what you drink on weekdays, although this black spot is small, but it is extremely toxic, and ordinary people will die violently after a cup of tea~" Zhu Jing said.

"What about me?" Arus asked.

"Elementary cultivation, there is clear spring water to protect the body, how to use a stick of incense," Zhu Jing said very seriously.

Arus's head was full of question marks, a cup of tea and a stick of incense flew through his mind, and after counting the time, he suddenly shouted, "I'll wipe it, won't this die immediately."

"Be quiet, your excitement will cause the toxin to spread faster," said Zhu Jing.

"What kind of poison is this, it spreads so fast," Shi Yan asked in surprise.

"Scorpion venom, Shi Yan, quickly take out all the things that can detoxify, half of it for him to apply externally, and half for him to take internally, I'll look for a prescription that can quickly detoxify" Zhu Jing said.

"Aunt Jing, don't talk about it, I'm the ninth generation of the family~" Arus cried and said.

"Look at your cowardly look, what are you afraid of, aren't there still us" Zhu Jing said, having said that, in fact, Zhu Jing has no bottom in his heart. Zhu Jing closed his eyes and began to think about the prescription that could quickly detoxify, and finally remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Let's refine the heart and disperse."

"Aunt Jing, how do you practice Qingxinsan?" Shi Yan asked.

"Bitter lotus seeds, Futu leaves, seven-knotted bamboo, lotus seeds, snow lotus petals, shakugu grass juice, clear spring water," said Zhu Jing.

"There are not many, only some bitter lotus seeds, lotus seeds, snow lotus petals, and clear spring water at the moment," Shi Yan said.

"It's okay, use these first, the snow lotus petals alone can resist a large part," Zhu Jing said.

"Aunt Jing, if you want to solve it, you can solve it all, and you can solve a large part of it, so what about the remaining small part?" Arus asked with a bitter face.

"If there is a way, it depends on whether you are afraid of pain or death?" Zhu Jing asked.

"Ah~" Arus looked at the three points of the silence and smiled, how to look at it and feel awkward.

~~~~~

In the dark night, in the tent of the desert, Arus was clasped on the ground whining and crying, Shi Yan used some rags to constantly help Arus bandage his buttocks, although it was dealt with in time, but Arus was still affected by the scorpion venom, and his body appeared swollen to varying degrees.

"Aunt Jing, you are too decisive, one knife down, my ass will be cut in half," Arus cried.

"Please, how old are you, and you're still crying, isn't it just multiple cuts on your buttocks, what a big deal" Zhu Jing said.

"Aunt Jing, the bandaging cloth is not enough, this hole is too big," Shi Yan said.

"Woo woo woo ~ ~~" I only heard Arus crying on the side.

It turned out that in order to save Arus, Zhu Jing could only cut the skin and flesh while the poison had not yet entered the bones, release part of the poisonous blood, and slowly recuperate the rest with the detoxification powder refined by Shiyan. It's just that Arus's poisonous blood has spread more than half of his buttocks, so Zhu Jing can only cut his mouth wider.

"Now it's okay, if you don't get poisoned, you will bleed to death," Arus said.

"Don't worry, I have the 'Blood Pill' here, and your wound will heal in a day or two," Shi Yan said.

"Senior brother, why don't you become a doctor too, then I'll get better faster," Arus said.

"Is it a doctor you can be if you want to?" Zhu Jing said.

"Okay, okay, Aunt Jing, Arus doesn't want to be like this, you see how pitiful he is," Shi Yan said.

Pucci got out of the ring, asked for a smell of medicine, as if he was hungry, and ran towards the Dan furnace after coming out, and just a few steps before he saw a strange-shaped species in front of him, which frightened Pucci and jumped backwards. After seeing that Zhu Jing and Shi Yan were standing there, he looked at the old tall monster with a drumming butt in front of him, tentatively leaned over and poked Shi Yan with his small hand, and pointed at Arus.

"Pucci~ My life is so miserable," Arus cried.

"Poof?" Pucci was stunned, he didn't think that this guy could still talk and know himself.

Because Arus was poisoned by the scorpion, his face was wrapped in a faint layer of black gas, his body was swollen a lot, and his eyes were even more swollen into a thin line, so no matter how Pucci looked, he couldn't connect him with Arus. Looking at the hairstyle of this guy in front of me, it seemed a little familiar, and after thinking about it, I felt that I had seen it somewhere, but when I looked at this guy's ass again, I shook my head again and made a contemplative appearance.

"It's over, it's clear that Pucci doesn't know me," Arus said with a swollen face.

"Okay, okay, the effect of the medicine can't be played immediately, you go to sleep first, and the swelling will be reduced tomorrow morning," Zhu Jing said.

"Don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do," Shi Yan said.

"How do you sleep" Arus lay on the ground and pouted his buttocks, twisted for a long time and couldn't find a suitable position, and finally could only pout his butt and sleep on the ground.

"Poof?" Pucci looked at the round monster in front of him, and looked at it carefully while eating the elixir given to it by Shi Yan.
