Volume 1: The Soul Pierces the Continent Chapter 20: The Truth Is Realized in Distress in the Desert (2)
"This desert weather can be very dangerous at times, but we have survived this crisis. Mazale straightened his clothes.
"Mazar, we need to rest for a while to stay intact. Lin Jiangnan observed Ouyang Nana and them at this time, they were all embarrassed, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, everyone is also guilty this time, so rest in place for half an hour. Mazar said to the team.
Everyone sat on the spirit camel to replenish the water, observing this team, this is a team of the side plug village, wearing also side plug clothes, basically all animal clothes, a braid tied with a net rope, put behind the back, some with arrows on their backs, some with big knives, neat formation, it can be seen that its strength is strong.
After the team had rested, Mazar led the team back on the road, and the spirit camel walked on the desert, and the sound of bells came from the team.
The sun was setting, and a big red sun was slowly setting in front of the desert, and it would not be long before it would sink, and the team slowly became tired, and a yawn sounded from the team.
"It's almost night, we can stop and rest. Song Rouxue asked with a yawn.
"Well, it should be, follow the team for the time being. "Lin Jiangnan can't think about a lot in order to take care of the team at this time.
As the sun sets, a bright moon slowly rises into the sky from the top of the desert dunes ahead, and the surroundings become dark.
"Stop, let's camp here for the night, and tomorrow we will be on our way during the day. "Mazar saw that it was almost time for him to stop and rest in the night.
Everyone came down from the spirit camel, and someone in the team took a wooden stake and buried a dozen wooden stakes in the sand, each of which was tied to two spirit camels.
Lin Jiangnan and the five people helped Mazar set up the tent and bonfire, and after everything was arranged, the team sat at the bonfire and roasted the bonfire, you know, the desert at night is different from the day, and the desert now even has a slight coolness.
Next to the bonfire, Lin Jiangnan and the Mazar team sat opposite each other, and the grill of the bonfire was roasting ham and other food that they carried with them, and wisps of fragrance and green smoke filled the desert wilderness.
"Here, cheers, a toast to our acquaintance. Mazar raised his wine glass and said enthusiastically to Lin Jiangnan and the five people.
"Cheers. Lin Jiangnan and others also raised their glasses and drank together.
"We don't think we live in a barren place like the desert, but our life is still wonderful, we can dance, we can drink, we can walk around the desert, although there is sand all around, but it is also one of our joys of life. Mazar drank the wine from his glass and said with a wipe of his mouth.
"Well, your life is very comfortable, I don't want to be ordinary, otherwise I may choose a dull life, but God seems to have destined me to be strong, so I am here. Lin Jiangnan also said with emotion.
Lin Jiangnan looked around, Xiao Yanshan followed the members of the team to learn their unique dance, Song Rouxue also played the accompaniment with the piano next to him, and Bai Banxia was also chatting with the people around him, and Ouyang Nana was beside Lin Nannan, silently looking around with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Lin Jiangnan looked at the partners around him, and secretly thought that he would protect you well in the future.
"You seem to have something on your mind. Mazale looked at Lin Jiangnan as if he had something on his mind, and then asked.
"I'm sorry for being distracted. Lin Jiangnan explained.
"You have a few good partners, and you really need to think about what to do in the future, but as long as you don't get bad, I'm sure you can do well. Mazar saw what Lin Jiangnan was thinking, and comforted him.
"Thank you, I know this, and they themselves know it. Lin Jiangnan looked at the partners around him and said gently.
"Yes, we'll pay attention to ourselves, if we can't protect ourselves, how can we go out. At this time, Ouyang Nana also said beside her.
"Yes, we're having a drink. Lin Jiangnan said to everyone with a wine glass.
"Cheers, for our friendship. Mazar said, holding his glass high.
"Dry. Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
"Alright, let's go back to the tent and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow. Mazar said to the team.
"Good. The group replied in unison.
After so many days of open-air rest, now that they have a tent, they can also take a good rest, although their souls have basically changed, but they still can't get rid of the action of resting, cultivation can eliminate a certain amount of fatigue, but mentally, it is better to sleep to solve.
"I'll keep watch, and you can rest. Lin Jiangnan said to everyone.
"You're still not at ease. Bai Banxia asked Lin Jiangnan.
"Yes, there are too many uncertain dangers in the desert, and it's good to have someone to guard it. Lin Jiangnan explained.
"That's fine, you keep it, I'm going to rest, if you work hard and can't hold on, call me." Bai Banxia was still worried that Lin Jiangnan was too tired.
"Go ahead. Lin Jiangnan responded.
Lin Jiangnan guarded the tent, but there was nothing to do all night, when the moon in the sky fell and the white belly of the sun appeared in the sky, Mazar appeared outside the tent, holding a large bell and shaking it, jingle bell, jingle bell, after shaking it five times.
"Get up, get ready, get ready, and hurry. Mazar said to the crowd.
"Get up, it's time for us to go. Lin Jiangnan said to everyone.
After everyone was up, the team set off again.
"Following the directions on the map, we should now go to the right. Mazale said, pointing to the right.
So the team moved to the right, and finally, an oasis appeared in front of everyone, and there was a monument in the oasis.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the location of the Gathering Spirit Pool we are looking for this time, everyone goes in and takes a dip, it is really beneficial. Mazaal looked at the pool of clear water in front of him and couldn't help but smile happily.
"Then let's get inside. Someone in the team said.
"Okay, let's go in. Mazale said.
After the team dealt with the spirit camel, they entered the oasis, only to see that the surrounding grass was attached to the ground and the trees were overgrown, and it was rare to find such a place in the desert.
When the team reached the interior of the main hall, a monster with a scorpion body and a human head appeared in the center of the main hall.
I saw that this monster was ten feet tall, and for the people in front of him, it could be described as a behemoth, at this time, this monster suddenly said, "You can go in, anyway, there is nothing worthy of my protection here, but it takes the fresh blood of five people to activate the magic circle, which of you comes." The scorpion monster said to everyone.
"It's very difficult for us, we all came together. Mazar did have a look of embarrassment right now.
The scorpion-bodied monster snorted and said grotesquely, "Aren't the five of them very fresh blood, with tender skin and smooth flesh." ”
Mazar glanced at Lin Jiangnan and them, and a sinister smile leaked from his eyes, "Okay, just the five of them, let's go, partners, and leave them five poor ghosts." ”
"What, you did that. Lin Jiangnan looked at Mazar at this time, and his eyes could kill people.
"That can't be helped, I said someone has to make sacrifices. Mazar said shamelessly to the crowd.
"All right, go in, and these five are left as sacrifices. The scorpion monster said to everyone.
"Okay. Mazar led the team quickly into the inner sanctum.
Lin Jiangnan and the five people naturally wanted to go in, but just as they were about to go in, the scorpion monster blocked their way.
"You stay as a sacrifice. The scorpion monster said to Lin Jiangnan and the five people.
"Sacrifice your grandfather's. Xiao Yanshan said angrily.
"Everyone prepare to fight, kill him, and make him a sacrifice for himself. Lin Jiangnan also reacted quickly at this time, and first solved the monster in front of him.
"Good. Everyone also responded at this time.
"You're going against me. The scorpion monster brandished its weapon.
"So what, if you want our life, we naturally can't agree. Lin Jiangnan said to the scorpion-body monster.
"Well, you wait for the punishment. The scorpion monster said.
"You are the one who deserves to be punished. Ouyang Nana was also very angry at this time.
The scorpion monster didn't care about everyone, and directly attacked Lin Jiangnan with the fork in his hand, and Lin Jiangnan hid to the side.
"Concentrate on attacking his legs. Lin Jiangnan reminded everyone at this time.
"Good. Everyone began to concentrate on attacking the legs of the scorpion-body monster, after all, it was the easiest part to attack and the most effective part.
Lin Jiangnan and the five of them used their own tricks to attack the legs of the scorpion monster, the scorpion monster naturally would not let them succeed, he leaned back, dodging the concentrated attack, and then the fork continued to attack everyone, the attack speed became faster and faster, until even a phantom appeared.
"It's so difficult, so big, and so sensitive. Song Rouxue said indignantly when she saw that she couldn't hit the scorpion monster.
"Don't worry, let's take a flank. Lin Jiangnan said to everyone.
"This method is good, he can prevent the front, can he prevent the back?" Bai Banxia highly appreciated this method.
"Xiao Yanshan, Bai Banxia, Song Rouxue, you attack the front, Ouyang Nana and I attack the back. Lin Jiangnan made timely countermeasures.
"Good. The crowd responded.
Taking advantage of the scorpion-body monster's inattention to come to the back of the monster, everyone followed with an attack, Lin Jiangnan's golden fist slammed into the monster's legs, Song Rouxue stabbed the sword shadow with a long sword, and Xiao Yanshan slammed into the hind legs of the scorpion-body monster.
The scorpion-like monster used its long legs and attacks to turn into phantom forks, trying to resist the front and back attacks of the crowd.
But slowly the scorpion monster slowed down, it was obvious that such an attack was too physically demanding, and everyone's attacks continued, which made the scorpion monster very annoyed.
But just when everyone thought that they were about to knock the monster down, the monster roared, and the ground around him suddenly shook, and countless black scorpions came out.
This gave the scorpion-body monster a chance to breathe, and Lin Jiangnan had a headache, and he had to guard against these black scorpions, and he had to beware of the attack of the scorpion-body monster.
"Haha, do you think you can kill me so easily, you all plant here. The scorpion monster smiled at everyone.
"It's too early to tell. "Lin Jiangnan naturally won't compromise.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you my name, my name is the Demon Scorpion, don't die and don't know who killed you. The scorpion viciously introduced itself.
Lin Jiangnan continued to resist the attacks of the little black scorpions around him, and the demon scorpions also slowly adjusted their state, although the attacks in their hands were a little slower, they did not stop, and they fell into a huge crisis.
