The earth kept coming from the scorching breath, but Xiao Can's heart was cold.

He could clearly feel himself sinking little by little, the relentless sand like a beast, devouring his body and his will.

Could it be ...... Lao Tzu is really going to explain here?

"Don't be discouraged, you've already done it, remember the mantra that the teacher taught you!"

Ling Bingyan's voice filled his ears, making Xiao Can, who was originally desperate, suddenly stunned, secretly thinking that the feeling of pulling out a part of his body just now was not an illusion!

His heart stirred, and he completely emptied himself again, forgetting the heat wave, forgetting his fear, and feeling the breath flowing in his body with all his heart. I don't know if it was because Ling Bingyan opened up the acupoint, or if it was because of the strong survival instinct that erupted in the moment of life and death, and that trace of breath became clearer and clearer.

He tried to guide the breath upward, reduce the weight of the falling body, and gradually condense the breath between the veins, as if thousands of small rivers converged into a sea, rushing from the bottom up!

"Come out for me!"

Xiao Can let out a loud shout, obviously feeling that his body was light, and his two arms were stretched the sand.

"Rustle, rustle!"

The yellow sand receded under his abdomen, and the placket of his clothes shook off the layers of gravel, and he actually pulled a piece of it out of the quicksand.

Seeing this scene, Ling Bingyan's frowning brows stretched slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, she was ready to fly to save people. If she allowed the sand to cover her chest, even if she had the skills to reach the sky, it would be difficult to save her. She knew that people could often burst out with amazing power in the face of life and death, but she was still not sure if Xiao Can was a genius with excellent qualifications, after all, with her qualifications, it took half a year to comprehend the method of purification, and although she helped him open up a few meridians and acupoints, but ten days was too short after all, could he really do it?

Xiao Can broke her doubts with practical actions.

The worry in Ling Bingyan's eyes dissipated, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Xiao Can saw the hope of escape, his face was full of joy, and he concocted it again and again, and the waist and legs buried under the yellow sand broke free little by little. When everything above the knee was rediscovered, the thing allowed its body to sink a little more, and then broke free again.

The quicksand that made people smell and change color was actually used by him as a prop for practice. If Quicksand is conscious, he must have scolded him with shame and indignation-Jin, your mother, Lao Tzu's murderous name is buried in countless bones, and you will run away if you escape, is it necessary to be so humiliated?

After going back and forth like this dozens of times, Xiao Can seemed to be physically exhausted, and he rose to the sky with a strange scream, jumped up more than one person at once, lay on the hot sand with his back to the sky and laughed, and shouted: "Master, have you seen it?" I did it, I did it! ”

"Don't be too happy, you're still far from it. Rest and rest to continue the journey, there will be new trials in the evening. ”

Ling Bingyan splashed him with a basin of cold water, and turned around leisurely and walked down the sand dune. But with his back to Xiao Can's face, he showed a rare smile of satisfaction, and muttered, "This little guy is really a monster." ”

**********************************

The curtain is low.

The desert during the day is like a sea of fire, but at night it is silent, quiet like a Jiangnan woman. A crescent moon hung high in the vast sky, enveloping the vast desert in a gray-blue, and the sky was full of stars so close that it seemed that it was enough to pluck the stars nine days away.

The desert was silent, except for the crackling of burning torches, which brought a little life to the land of death.

"Hiccup!"

By the orange-red bonfire, Xiao Can stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, burped contentedly, and lay leisurely on the soft and cool sand. The training beyond the limit during the day made him feel hungry like never before, and he sent all the dry food for tomorrow day into his stomach.

"Looks like our plans have changed. The remaining dry food and water were simply not enough to last until the return trip, so the division had to go back early. ”

Ling Bingyan looked at the bag that had lost weight quickly, sighed slightly, and took out a round package from his baggage, not knowing what it was for.

Xiao Can was so frightened that he fell asleep when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Master, what kind of joke are you making old man, leaving me alone in this vast desert, I will be so afraid." ”

"When I walked out of the desert, I was only thirteen years old." Ling Bingyan said it lightly, but it made Xiao Can kneel again. It is really sensational to dare to kill twelve people at the age of thirteen.

Xiao Can said: "How can I compare with your old man? You are a master of the dragon without seeing the end, and only by bathing in the sunshine and rain of your old man's home can the apprentice thrive. ”

"You have already touched the threshold of lifting, but there is still a long way to go before you can go to the realms of Shenxing, Chasing the Wind, Treading the Moon, and Instant Hell. The teacher said that only in the face of the test of life and death can you radiate your maximum potential, so the teacher will not accompany you to the end, but the time is a little earlier. Ling Bingyan smiled slightly and said, "Although the time is still short, I believe that this experience will be of great benefit to you, and I also believe that you will definitely be able to get out of the desert alive." ”

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xiao Can sighed sadly and said, "Alas, when are you going to leave?" ”

"Tonight." Ling Bingyan unwrapped the package and said, "The purpose of cultivation is to fight, and any kung fu will become meaningless if it is only practiced behind closed doors without going through the test of actual combat. So tonight's test will help you a lot in the future. ”

It's another test, but where does the crisis come from?

Xiao Can looked left and right, and the desert at night was like a sleeping baby, quiet and comfortable. Just as he looked around, a tempting aroma wafted in, and what Ling Bingyan was carrying was actually a tempting roast chicken.

Xiao Can was aroused again, and was moved: "I didn't expect your old man to be so thoughtful, and even the farewell dinner was ready, thank you, Master." ”

Ling Bingyan held the hand of the roast chicken and flashed to the side, dodging Xiao Can who wanted to grab the chicken, and said, "This roast chicken is not for you to eat." ”

Does the master want to eat alone? It's not good.

Ling Bingyan roasted the roast chicken on the fire, and when the fat overflowed and the aroma was fragrant, he threw the roast chicken far away.

Xiao Can secretly exclaimed that it was a pity, he just wanted to pick up the delicacies, but when he saw Ling Bingyan raise his hand to block it, he didn't know what his intentions were. I don't know how long later, he was surprised to hear a "rustle" sound!

In the silence of the night, even the slightest sound could not escape the ears of the two. Xiao Can listened carefully, and was stunned to find that the sound seemed to come from under the sand, but he didn't expect that there were still living creatures in the yellow sand that was isolated from life.

His heart suddenly hung in the air, and he looked at the roast chicken in the distance. It didn't take long for the gray-blue sand to churn, and a line of sand visible to the naked eye was from far to near, apparently something moving rapidly below.

The sand line stopped next to the roast chicken, and suddenly a small sandbag was puffed up, and then a head broke through the ground, and it turned out to be a snake-like monster.

No, not one, but five.

Four lines of sand followed, and four more monsters broke through the sand, and the four powerful claws supported the huge body and crawled to the ground, spitting letters around the fragrant roast chicken, which were actually four huge monitor lizards.

The five monitor lizards confirmed that the food was not dangerous and quickly began to snatch it. These five behemoths were very different from the lizards that Xiao Can was familiar with, each of them was about three feet long, like a crocodile that had been incarnated, and almost instantly, the roast chicken was torn into the belly by the two strongest monitor lizards.

Xiao Can was in a very heavy mood, but he had a hint of illusion and asked, "Master, are you going to catch two of them back as pets?" ”

Ling Bingyan shook his head as expected, and said, "They don't just eat meat, they also eat people, so you have to be more careful." ”

Damn, a few man-eating monsters were made in the middle of the night, this kind of test was really exciting.

Xiao Can swallowed his saliva and asked, "What do you mean by the old man...... My opponents are they? ”

Ling Bingyan nodded, and suddenly swept out like a gale!

Sensing the approach of their fierce enemy, the five monsters leaned down in attack, their yellow eyes shining with a vicious glow. However, Ling Bingyan's movements were too fast, and his strength was really not covered by the strength of the four realms higher than Xiao Can, and a phantom shadow shuttled, only to see the five monitor lizards all turn over their bellies, making a low and ugly cry, which sounded like it was extremely painful.

After a moment, Ling Bingyan returned to square one, with a smile on his face: "Their fangs have been broken, the teacher can only do so much for you, and the rest is up to you." ”

"Master, I'm a bit of a road idiot, why don't you tell me tomorrow which side is north, hey, master, master!!"

Ling Bingyan's temperament of saying that he would leave did not change at all, Xiao Canxuan grabbed a handful, as if he wanted to pull the corner of her clothes, but only grabbed a handful of air.

Alas, it is so dangerous to go into the rivers and lakes by yourself.

Xiao Can sighed, and suddenly remembered that there were five big guys behind him. Looking back, the five desert monitor lizards were leaning down and slowly approaching him with malice, apparently counting Fang Cai's tooth extraction revenge on his head.

Since it is destined to go into the desert alone, pessimism will not solve any problems, so it is better to be optimistic. Xiao Can cleaned up his mood, and was fearless in the face of the five monsters with their teeth extracted, and even whistled defiantly.

"Hey, hello, you'd love to eat me, wouldn't you? Come on, come on, you catch me, if you catch me, I'll let you Amu ~ Amu ~ Amu ~"

In his impression, these clumsy reptiles have always been slow, and groping for the threshold of the indulgence stunt made him full of confidence, and he didn't feel that there was anything to worry about the test in front of him.

The desert monitor lizard didn't know whether it was angered by his actions, or because it was too hungry, it regarded the fool in front of him who couldn't stop twisting his waist and pouting his ass as a peerless delicacy, and after a short observation, the five giant beasts spat out the letter and ran towards the prey like the wind!

Xiao Can was surprised to find that the monitor lizard that ran up had been out of the category of reptiles, just like a night wolf, like a cheetah, and pounced in front of him in an instant!
