Putting me and Leah down, Nilou said goodbye to her.

Alliance Channels:

Me: Phew—I'm exhausted by finally destroying the dragon.

The second generation of local tyrants: What, you killed the dragon?

Me: Yes, I was badly injured, but I was able to take the eaux-de-vie and I'm fine now.

Medical Expert: Now that the dragon has been destroyed, the little brother doesn't have to waste the water of life at all, it's a holy thing, and your injuries can be healed when I come over, although it may take a few days.

Oh, doesn't that make me stupid?

Me: No way, I haven't killed the dragon when I took the eaux-de-vie, and if I hadn't recovered the eaux-de-vie, I wouldn't have been able to fight it.

The explanation is perfect.

The second generation of local tyrants: @大学生|You can't swallow the dragon corpse alone, I made it seriously injured and dying, and you have to wait for me to come and distribute it.

The second generation of local tyrants: Teacher Niu, they also have a share, don't swallow it alone.

Ha?

A dragon corpse?

"Eh, wait, wait."

I hurriedly stopped Nilou as she was about to fly away.

"What are you doing?"

"I forgot a key question, we didn't have a big fight, where did the dragon corpse come from? So the plan had to change......"

I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment and admitted that I had miscalculated.

Damn, it's so hard to lie, I always thought it was perfectly planned, but it turned out that there were still so many loopholes! Fortunately, the second generation of local tyrants inadvertently reminded me.

Nilou asked impatiently:

"What else to do?"

"Hey, hey, hey," I smiled awkwardly, "it seems that this place is not suitable as a battlefield, you better take us to fly farther away, fly to a place where they can't catch up for a while, and then you make a battlefield and fly away quietly at a low altitude......"

"What? You mean, the noodles I just tossed around for so long are useless? ”

Nilou's huge pupils narrowed slightly, staring at me.

"No, no, it's still useful, it also proves that we had a big fight here, but ...... It's not enough......"

Whew-

Thick smoke came out of Nilou's nostrils, indicating that she was angry.

"Sister Nilou—"

"Okay, for Liya's sake, I'll cooperate with you again."

Nilou crawled down, and Ria and I climbed onto the dragon's back again.

I hurriedly sent a message to Mr. Niu.

Alliance Channels:

Me: Holy! The dragon was too cunning, and he just cheated to death.

Me: Hmph, want to escape? No way.

Square Woman: Little brother, stay safe.

Me: Don't worry, it can't escape, everyone go back and wait for my good news.

......

Riding on the back of a dragon, all the way to the east, I crossed the south-facing avenue and saw the avant-garde city.

Putting me and Ria back down on the Gobi, Nilou once again struggled to turn it into a fierce battleground, and finally flew away muttering something.

It's late at night, but the dragon flames light up the surroundings, and with the bright moon, the view is still quite wide.

Sitting next to a pile of flames, I first posted on the Alliance channel that the dragon had been destroyed. Then he took out the dry food and water and gave it to Liya.

"Alas! Forget all the important things......"

I slapped my thigh hard and regretted it.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Liya was holding a large cake in her two small hands, and she had just taken a small bite, and her voice was a little indistinct.

"You see, I told Mr. Niu that I had already destroyed the dragon, and the dragon's corpse was so big that I couldn't bring it with me, but I had to have a little loot, right?"

"Otherwise, how can I prove that I destroyed the dragon?"

I should have cut some dragon nails as trophies.

Alas-

It's so much trouble to lie, and I definitely won't lie in the future if it's not very necessary.

took a bite of the flatbread, and then poured a large mouthful of water, and the depression was relieved for a while.

"Master."

"Huh?"

I looked at Riya, who was also looking at me, clutching a pendant on her chest with her right hand.

A thin rope was tied around Liya's neck, and at the lower end was something like fish scales, two or three times larger than ordinary fish scales, and it was pitch black.

She asked me.

"Is this okay?"

"It's ...... Dragon scales? ”

I'm a little unsure.

It looks like it should be dragon scales, but why are they so small?

"Well, Sister Nilou said that this is a reverse scale on her body, which can be bigger and smaller, and you can contact her."

As she spoke, Liya took off the pendant, put it on the ground, and muttered something in her mouth.

The dragon scales suddenly enlarged, and in a moment, a huge pitch-black shield appeared between me and Liya.

So amazing?

"Is that okay?" Leah asked me again.

"Ahem, you mean, borrow this from me as proof?"

"Well, can't you?"

"Yes, absolutely."

"Is it possible for anyone to contact Nilou through this Reverse Scale?"

Riya shook her head.

"Sister Nilou said that only I could, and she said that she gave me this reverse scale for, for ......"

"For what?"

She shrunk her neck, lowered her head slightly, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"She said that if the master bullied me, I could tell her through this reverse scale, and she would come, rush and beat the master......"

Rub, Liya has found a backer.

"Hey, hey, hey, how could I bully Liya, right?"

"Well, the master is very good to Liya and won't bully her."

"What about this reverse scale...... Just leave it to me for safekeeping? ”

"Hmm."

Riya chanted the spell again, making the scales smaller again, and then picked up the pendant and hung it around my neck.

Touching the scales hanging around my neck, I now also have two treasures.

A dragon scale, a dagger, both are rare treasures.

Eh, wait, both of these things belong to Liya, and they are only lent to me temporarily. All of a sudden, I seem to have become a little white face who eats soft rice.

Damn, I hate eating soft rice the most in my life!

I made up my mind that I had to work hard to get a treasure of my own.

Nothing happened overnight.

After dawn, I opened the map to see where I was.

I came from the karst volcano, first found the location of the karst volcano, then went east through a plain, then the southward avenue, and continued east to find a piece of Gobi.

Death Gobi.

It turns out that the current location is the mid-level wild monster area Death Gobi.

In that case, it's better to level up here first.

After checking the dry food and water, it was enough to support three days.

I asked for Leah's opinion, and of course she wouldn't have any opinions.

So we decided to spend two days fighting monsters here, but still walking west, in the direction of the southbound avenue.

There were several bulges on the ground in front of him, and he quickly approached this side.

In the blink of an eye, a bulge had reached his feet.

"Liya be careful."

As soon as I finished speaking, I jumped to the side.

But Liya didn't dodge it for the first time.

Just as I regretted not pulling her away, she had already stabbed the ground with the Goblin Spear at her feet.

A monster that had just exposed its head was directly stabbed by a spear, squirting out a mixture of dark green and white liquid, presumably blood and brain.

【Critical Blow!】 】

Immediately after, a golden light erupted from Liya's body, rising into the sky.

It should be promoted.

I stared at Leah.

When did she become so strong?

Her chest was heaving violently, her hands holding spears trembling slightly, and her face turned pale.

"Be careful!"

The other four bulges were already approaching, and I rushed towards Liya, drew my spear, and rushed forward with her for some distance.

The four bulges reached the place where Liya had been standing, and stopped.

A moment later, puffs of sand and dust kicked up, and four monsters leapt from the ground and fell to the ground.

It was a group of scorpion-like monsters, one man tall, with an off-white shell as a whole, dark green at the end of the tail, and a pair of large black pincers.

If I'm not mistaken, it was a wild monster called the Desert Scorpion, which is more common in the Gobi of Death and has a highly poisonous tail.

I have a lot to ask Leah, but I don't have time right now.

A desert scorpion was already coming at us, its tail raised high, and its two large pincers were like sharp guillotines one by one.

The other three re-burrowed into the ground, and it was clear that the ground was rising and approaching us. It doesn't look like it's going deep.

The one on the ground was the first to strike.

The Blood Moon swiped horizontally, severing the two large pincers that struck at the same time.

The giant scorpion let out a low voice, not knowing whether it was a roar or a wail.

At the same moment, its tail spewed a stream of black-green liquid in my direction.

Don't think about it, it must be venom, and it will probably cause the skin to ulcerate if it gets on the body.

The blood moon has just swung out, and it can't be stabbed out in an instant. Even if you can do it, you will inevitably be sprayed with venom.

The best option is to move to the side for a while.

Just as I was about to stretch out my hand and jump away with Lea, a slender figure appeared in front of me.

It's Leah!

She walked around from behind me, her shield held high in her left hand, and the spear in her right stabbed out and plunged directly into the scorpion's gaping mouth.

【Critical Blow!】 】

Another fatal blow?

Is she really the Autumnal Lia Silverer I know?

Her figure was still slender, but the posture of holding a long contradictory card was as majestic as a Valkyrie, making her back instantly taller.

Black-green venom sprayed on the shield and snorted.

It is estimated that this poor ghost shield is going to be scrapped, in fact, it is better to take shelter to the side for a while.

But it doesn't matter, after all, Liya was a weak girl not long ago, and I am very satisfied that she can show such excellent fighting qualities in this battle.

In the moment when a few thoughts flashed, Liya had already pulled out her spear, flashed the corpse of the giant scorpion, rushed forward, and pulled me with the momentum.

I was stunned for a moment, and after a moment I noticed that there was a bulge on the left and right sides that was rapidly approaching.

Was it just surrounded?

So I only focused on the giant scorpion in front of me and ignored the sides?

Liya's choice is the most correct!

Reacting to this, I rushed forward with Liya for a short distance, avoiding the flanking attacks on the left and right.

What about the other one?

Did it go deep underground?

Bang –

Suddenly, a puff of smoke and dust rose and obscured the view.

Ahem –

Liya and I were choked and coughed at the same time.

The next moment, the ground on which we were standing suddenly shattered into sand and became like cotton, without the slightest point of focus.

The ground began to sink, and the surrounding sand and gravel continued to flow over and form a whirlpool.

Quicksand?

Isn't quicksand found in desert areas?

I can't care about the reason for this anomaly, and the first priority now is to find a way to get out.

But the quicksand has already buried half of my body and Liya, and we won't be able to get out for a while.

The two giant scorpions had come to the edge, and two pairs of pincers were coming towards the two of us.
