The Fledgling Sunset Kingdom Chapter Seventy-Seven Marching Fire Ants

The heat slowly subsided over time.

In the evening, the light gradually dims and the temperature drops suddenly.

"Let's go!" Tianxing said.

Roar!

At that moment, a furious howl rang out.

"Bull Demon King, what's wrong? ”

Hearing the howl, Tianxing, who had already walked forward, turned around and ran over.

At this time, the Bull Demon King was angrily trampling the ground with his hooves.

"Bull Demon King, stop, I'll take a look. "Tianxing, who rushed over, stopped the furious Bull Demon King.

When he stopped, he looked at the ground, and there was nothing to be seen on the ground.

Looking at the Bull Demon King's leg, the top of the hoof of the left front leg was already swollen, and there was a fist-sized bag.

Stung a scorpion's tail stinger on the swollen bag, it should be that the scorpion stung the leg of the Bull Demon King with the stinger on its tail, and the skin contracted under the stress reaction of the Bull Demon King, and the stinger was stuck on the skin.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's just an ordinary scorpion, this poison will only make you painful, it won't be fatal. While comforting, he picked out the stinger with a dagger.

"Bear with me, I'm going to cut open the skin and let out the pus and blood inside. Hearing Tianxing's words, the Bull Demon King was not moving.

Pressed the left leg of the Bull Demon King with his hand, and slowly cut through the thick cowhide with a dagger, and a fishy smell rushed to his nose.

Holding his breath, he squeezed out the blood clot, which had become jet black, until bright red blood appeared.

"Bear with it a little longer, I'll wash it thoroughly with water, so it's better faster. ”

Tianxing drew a water bag from the side and rinsed the wound, the severe pain made the ox leg twitch constantly, but he didn't move, trying his best to endure it.

"Okay, it's okay, the wound will scab over in a while, and it won't affect walking. "After cleaning the wound, I tied it with a strip of cloth.

If there is no pus and blood, the blood will soon be a scab over from the wound.

With the constitution of a howling cow, the wound will heal soon after scabbing and will not affect normal walking. By tomorrow you will be cured, and you will have no problem running and jumping.

Moo......

After a while, the Bull Demon King tried to walk, and when he found that the injury on his foot was not serious, he howled happily.

"Okay, it's all right, let's go! Be careful of the little creatures under your feet, there is no creature to mess with in this 10,000-mile desert, many of them are highly poisonous, just avoid them. ”

Seeing the Bull Demon King who was fine, Tianxing was also a lot relieved, and reminded before leaving.

Moo!

The Bull Demon King nodded seriously and called out.

The desert night came and went, and the evening, which was still a little sunny, soon disappeared.

Suddenly the desert became dark, but fortunately, the moon in the sky came out, and the hazy moonlight could barely see the surroundings.

As night fell, there was no longer only the sound of the howling wind, but also the sound of various creatures.

There was a rustling sound in the distance, which was an insect walking on the sand.

Farther away, the roar of the beast was heard, and it was the nocturnal beast that began to come out to feed.

......!

Countless sounds prove that the desert at night is not a forbidden area for life, but a home to many creatures.

"Bull Demon King, if you release your breath, it should be able to deter some beasts.

Then keep an eye on your feet, as long as we don't get attacked by poison, we are still relatively safe. ”

Tianxing listened to the sound of the revival of all things in his ears, prompting the Bull Demon King.

With the strength of him and the Bull Demon King, he is not afraid of the attack of beasts, unless he encounters an intermediate demonic beast, but this possibility is very small.

The natural conditions of the Thousands of Miles Desert are harsh, and it is very rare to be able to produce mid-level demonic beasts.

Because of this, although there are few magical beasts, it has also created the appearance of many poisons.

The night passed quickly, and the night was uneventful.

The desert has an extremely uneven balance of day and night, with nights only half as long as day.

After marching all night, one man and one ox did not get too tired, and Tianxing decided to continue to move forward.

Wait until the heat is unbearable to find a place to rest, so that you can also seize some time.

Because after entering the desert, the speed of travel is only half of the original estimate, in order to be able to rush to Youzhou without accidents, it is necessary to hurry up.

It was close to noon, the temperature had already risen, and it was noon in another hour, so we had to find a place to escape the heat.

"Bull Demon King, let's go to the two stones in front of us to take shelter. ”

Not far ahead, there are two stones several meters high, only three or four meters apart, which are suitable for building a shade shelter.

When he came to the stone, Tianxing spread out the long cloth and spread it on two stones, and the middle of the stone was covered by the long cloth, forming a shadow.

This shade will be a rare cool place near here.

One man and one ox unloaded their things and lay down in the shadows to rest.

With yesterday's lesson, a cloth was laid on the ground, and the sides of the cloth were pulled up to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from crawling on the cloth.

"Come, Bull Demon King, drink saliva. ”

Tianxing took out the water bag and fed the Bull Demon King half a bag of water, and the rest of the water was not poured on his head and body to cool down.

Now that I have started to control water use, about 1,000 catties of water, two people can only use it for half a month, and we must learn to control water use to ensure that it happens.

Moo!

There was a low roar around him.

"Bull Demon King, what's wrong? Is there anything close?"

Turning his head, he saw that the Bull Demon King had already stood up, his hooves restlessly stepping on the cloth on the ground, his eyes staring ahead, and his ears standing up and moving in all directions.

Seeing this scene, I knew that something must be approaching, and it was something threatening.

The Skywalker sword is unsheathed, be vigilant all around!

Rustling......

After a while, I began to hear very small sounds, like insects crawling out of the sand.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing on the ground except for the heat wave caused by the high temperature, which distorted the vision, but the rustling sound was getting louder and louder.

After a few more moments, a red carpet appeared on the ground, approaching this way.

"Not good, marching fire ants, get out!"

If you look closely, these red carpets are simply the three most dangerous creatures in the desert, marching fire ants.

The reason why it is called marching fire ants is because these desert ants are all dispatched by ordinary armies, often tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

These marching fire ants, one by one, did not pose much of a threat, but once they swarmed together and pounced overwhelmingly, even the bones of the mid-level demonic beasts would be gnawed.

They are called fire ants, not because they breathe fire, but because they secrete a corrosive liquid from their mouths, which can be corroded by fighting energy and magic in large amounts.

So even fighters and mages are reluctant to touch this creature.

This corrosive liquid, once it touches the surface of the human body, will immediately corrode the flesh and blood, like a burning fire.

Good marching fire ants have a disadvantage, that is, they are not fast, ordinary people run faster than them, as long as they are not surrounded, they can generally escape.
