Chapter 33: A Journey to the Desert (1)
Looking at the map made of parchment on the table, I found that it was a map of the Great Qaidari Desert in great detail, which not only accurately marked the location of the water sources in the desert, but also carefully marked the places scattered in the desert and where the sand Jiao often traveled.
After careful observation and remembering, Nightstar took it into the ring. Looking at the sand city in the afterglow of the sunset, he muttered, "It's all ready now, just wait for tomorrow's departure."
As the night wore on, the scorching sun once again enveloped the desert city in a state of fire.
The two night stars who walked out of the inn in the early morning watched Ling'er stretch her waist and gently helped her tidy up, and the slightly distorted black robe on her body said with a smile: "In the next few days, you will have to suffer."
Dealing with the obvious intimate action of the night star, Ling'er seemed very natural, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she sighed and said calmly, "Let's go!"
In the endless golden desert, the wind and sand are raging, and two figures are slowly moving towards the distance against the wind and sand, and the rows of footprints behind them are covered by the wind and sand after a while.
The environment in the Great Chaidari Desert was much harsher than Nightstar imagined, and with every step, the soles of his feet were like stepping on hot iron sand, making Nightstar couldn't help but twitch his lips, and when he walked slowly, the oncoming wind mixed with fine sand smashed on his body, making Nightstar feel a little painful, but fortunately, both of them had done a good job of effective protection.
On the other hand, Ling'er's thin body looks like a nobody, except for walking slowly because the wind and sand are too big, the rest of the time is the same as sightseeing, and the night stars are secretly staggering.
After entering the desert for half a day, Yexing felt that the dantian sword qi in his body had been consumed a lot, and looked at Ling'er who was still full of energy next to him with a wry smile: "Let's rest for a while, I'll recover my strength."
Looking at the beads of sweat slowly flowing from the night star's forehead at this time, Ling'er said softly: "Okay", stood in place and took out the wine bottle he was carrying, and raised his head to take a few sips.
Night Star wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, licked his somewhat dry lips, took out a bottle of water from Na Ring, and poured a few sips of it, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, after resting for a while, he took out the map from Na Ring and looked at it for a while, looked up and carefully identified the direction, and greeted Ling'er, who had rested, and the two walked slowly towards the distance one after the other.
After walking forward for a short time, Night Star's face suddenly changed, and he grasped the hilt of the amorous sword at his waist in his hand, and then suddenly pulled it out and stabbed it fiercely into the yellow sand under his right side.
"Hiss!" The sword body was inserted into the yellow sand, and suddenly there was a miserable hissing sound, and the night star pulled out the sword body expressionlessly, and a cloud of bright red blood slowly seeped out of the yellow sand, and a sword qi swept out a small demonic beast under the yellow sand.
Looking at the monster in front of him that has lost its vitality, this kind of monster is called the sand lizard, which can only be met in the desert, often hidden in the yellow sand, quietly waiting for the prey to pass by, and then with a swift ear, aiming at the prey to spit out the deadly venom, although the sand lizard is only a first-order demonic beast, but it is extremely good at concealment, many people who are active in the desert all year round, will also pay a little attention to the death of its venom.
Turning his head to Ling'er who came over, he smiled, "It's okay, let's go." Then he got up and took some heavy steps, and began his journey into the desert again.
Two days later, the two of them slowly crossed a towering sand dune, stood on top of the sand dune and looked at a desert thorn forest that appeared in the distance, looked at Ling'er beside them and said softly: "Let's rest in the thorn forest in front of us tonight, right?"
"Okay," Ling'er said quietly, looking at the night star.
The sun was sinking, and neither of them noticed the slightest movement on the surface of the sand in the distance.
Halfway through, he suddenly saw Ling'er in front of him stop, and turned his head to look at the sand dunes in the distance to the right, "What's wrong Ling'er?" Nightstar asked suspiciously, looking at Ling'er's movements.
"There is something" Ling'er said calmly, just staring at the sand dunes in the distance, following Ling'er's gaze, the sand dunes looked very calm in the afterglow of the setting sun, and there was no trace of abnormal movement, but the night star knew that Ling'er would definitely not say this for no reason, she must have discovered something, and it may be a unique way for her to be a demonic beast. Thinking of this, Night Star walked quickly in front of Ling'er, "What is it?", his right hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and his eyes stared sharply at the calm sand dunes in the distance.
It didn't take long for the desert to give the answer: the surface of the sand dunes a hundred meters away suddenly rose and fell slightly like waves, fine grains of sand fluttered in the wind, and something was rapidly approaching under the yellow sand.
"Be careful!" Nightstar immediately reminded that it might be Nightstar's shouting that angered the things under the yellow sand, and its speed increased suddenly, and waves of sand followed, slowly revealing a tall black dorsal fin from the surface of the sand, like a sharp knife, rushing in the direction of the two of them.
Seeing this, Night Star immediately pulled out the sword body, and the dantian sword qi in his body rotated extremely quickly, covering the entire body in an instant, and he dodged in front of Ling'er and whispered: "Wait for the next time something is wrong, you go first." Then keep an eye on the monsters that are coming at great speed.
In the next moment, the demonic beast rushed not far in front of the night star, jumped out from under the sand, and opened a blood basin mouth as if it wanted to swallow the night star, and the blood basin mouth was densely distributed with hundreds of sharp knife-like fangs, which looked very scary.
"Sha Jiao?", Night Star only saw the full picture of the demonic beast at this time, and couldn't help but be surprised, you must know that Shajiao belongs to the fourth-order demonic beast, its size is huge, and its body looks a bit like a snake, but there is a large and thick dorsal fin on its back, and its whole body is covered with jet-black and bright hard scales, and there are multiple eye masks in the deep sunken eye sockets, and the flames of hatred are burning fiercely in the eyes, and the fierce breath is rushing towards you.
Night Star gently pushed Ling'er away, and his entire waist suddenly leaned back, able to avoid this fatal bite, and the long sword in his hand swept along the sand Jiao, drawing a spark on the hard scales of his abdomen, accompanied by a little blood, "It's so hard", this is the only thought in Night Star's heart at this time.
After turning around and watching the sand Jiao fall to the sand, it quickly dived into the ground and disappeared, but the wavy float on the surface of the yellow sand showed that it was not far away, as if it was brewing a fierce next blow.
Night Star flashed and quickly returned to Ling'er's side, "Let's go quickly, Shajiao generally acts in groups." ”
As soon as the words fell, another latent sand Jiao jumped out of the sand, this one was rushing towards Ling'er, the huge mouth was wide open, and the small eyes revealed undisguised hunger and ferocity, looking at the sand Jiao that rushed towards him, Ling'er's expression was still calm, but the depths of his eyes revealed a look of disdain, and suddenly there was a loud shout from the side, stopping the body that had moved.
