Chapter 51: The Endless Desert

There was a thunderclap, in the empty and scorching desert, a ball of thunder fell vertically on the sand dunes, and in the explosion, the yellow sand splashed everywhere, and when the thunder and dust stopped, a figure half kneeling on the sand dunes gradually appeared.

Xiao Buli doesn't have to keep this look cool, but the repeated flight and landing made his muscles stiff and painful, at this moment he was half-kneeling on the hot sand and gasping for breath, the sweat has been scorched clean, which makes him feel as if he is in a big oven, there is no water left for him, for a long time, Xiao Buli still can't raise the strength to stand up, so he has no choice but to sit down cross-legged under the scorching sun, his legs began to tremble due to dehydration and excessive exertion.

Xiao Buli forced himself to calm down, and with the operation of the Yimu Xuanyang True Sutra, the true yuan power in his body began to slowly recover. This made him feel a lot better, after all, he didn't have any physical strength in his body anymore, and after recovering for a while, Xiao Buli stood up and moved to the shadow of a sand dune next to him to sit down, where he could at least escape the scorching sun.

While recovering the true element value, Xiao Buli couldn't help but look back on the journey of the past few days, it seemed that he didn't do anything except fly in the empty desert, the crane could still play a little role in the first two days, but from the third day, its physical recovery time has become slower and slower, and as long as it enters the desert, both the human and the crane have an extra layer of DEBUFF called 'endless fatigue' on their heads, so the flight time is getting shorter and shorter, and the recovery time is getting longer and longer, helpless. Xiao Buli began to use the Cloud Thunder Sky Column, and Xiao Buli took turns using skills and cranes to keep himself in a flying state, because this could greatly shorten his stay in the desert. But after flying for six days, even in the sky, Xiao Buli still didn't even see a shadow of the border, could it be that this desert was really as endless as its name?

In addition to the long journey, along the way, what made Xiao Buli feel desperate and unbearable the most was the same scenery. Yellow sand, still yellow sand. Don't say anything about the oasis, even if Xiao Buli didn't even see a large stone, sometimes Xiao Buli even wondered if he was going around in circles on the same sand dune, maybe he didn't move forward. Isn't there a disease called snow blindness? Xiao Buli felt that if he continued to wait for these yellow sands. There is a good chance that you will suffer from sand blindness.

So sometimes Xiao Buli can't help but doubt himself. He would fall to the ground and walk for a while, and only then did he begin to believe that he had really moved forward by looking at his footprints on the sand.

The mouth was dry, and Xiao Buli didn't even have the spit that had formed in his mouth. Reluctantly took out the water bag and drank a few sips, the warm water into his mouth did not make him much more comfortable because of this, looking at the air in front of him that was slightly distorted because of the steaming heat, Xiao Buli gave up the posture of meditation and lay down, the heat tortured him like the fire of hell, maybe he should really give up.

A breeze blew up the sand and dust, swirling like a whirlpool in the sky for a while, and landed on Xiao Buli's head.

"Bah, bah," Xiao Buli spat out the sand in his mouth. "Damn!!" He couldn't help but curse, and grabbed the mass in front of him and threw it forward, but the dry sand and dust were almost not wasted at all The north wind blew back, and blinded his eyes again. Xiao Buli didn't even have the strength to vent and curse, and he lay down weakly again.

FROM HIS HEAD, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL "ENDLESS FATIGUE" DEBUFF,ALL HIS ACTIONS CONSUME PHYSICAL STRENGTH、MANA、INTERNAL FORCE、Anger value has increased by 10%,Even the true element value he has not been spared,And every day that passes,,This DEBUFF will be superimposed on one layer,To this day he has been superimposed to five layers,That is to say, no matter what you do,The true element value consumed will cost 50% more,If you can't get out in a few days,It's really getting harder and harder.。

What's even worse is that the true element value restored by the Yimu Xuanyang True Scripture is also getting slower and slower, probably because the cultivation of the wood attribute will be limited in a dry and hot environment.

Finally, the true yuan value was restored to full, although it was not delicious, but Xiao Buli still poured a lot of water, ate a few pieces of jerky, and when he felt that he was almost recovered, he walked out of the shadow behind the sand dune, and a cloud and thunder soared into the sky.

This flight took more than an hour, flew two or three hundred kilometers, and landed again.

Originally, he could fly more than 400 kilometers at a time, but due to the drag of 'endless fatigue', now the distance he can fly at one time is getting closer and closer.

And the time it takes to recharge each charge has become longer, so it's not optimistic.

After thinking for a while, he decided to call the lava python out to see if he could ride it as a mount for a while, the python sealed the space, and he actually liked the heat in the desert very much, like a puppy that had not come out to let the wind out for a long time on the sand, and then stopped in front of Xiao Buli after frolicking for a while, to be honest, its appearance of rolling and frolicking on the sand and its mighty black dragon shape was really too incommensurate.

"You're bored in there, huh?" Xiao Buli said to it, he didn't expect that he would be so sad as to talk to his pet one day.

Climb up the snake's head, and turn out the lava barrier from the package on the head, so that you can reduce the area of your skin that is scorched by the sun, and slowly crawl forward, at the beginning the speed of the lava python is okay, probably because it has just come out, and the spirit is still in a state of excitement, and after a while, the speed slows down significantly, and it is estimated that it is also boring.

However, this is much more comfortable than Xiao Buli, who meditated cross-legged on its huge head, and began to think about it while recovering the true yuan.

Xiao Buli now feels that he is getting weaker and weaker, and after counting the package, there is still a lot of food, but there is not much water left, due to underestimating the water consumption in the desert, and the limited space in the package, the preparation seems to be a little insufficient, it seems that it must be wishful thinking to find water on the sand in front of him.

Just when he was deeply worried about these problems, the giant python under his feet suddenly jumped up. Xiao Buli accidentally threw off the python's head, fortunately, there was soft sand under him, Xiao Buli felt that the fall was not very heavy when he landed, but in the next second, he found the problem.

The sand under his feet is not only soft, is it also a little too soft, stepping on it seems to be stepping on the mud, and then trying to pull out the leg but can't, there seems to be a huge mouth inside, tightly sucking his ankle. The python over there wasn't much better off than he was. The python's four short claws were sinking by this time, and only its long body floated on the sand, and it seemed that it was trying to pull its legs out of the sand so that it could glide out.

Xiao Buli was not very worried. A retreat, he's dissolved into the sand. Just get out of the sand. Recovering the python back to the seal would basically solve the problem, so Xiao Buli used the true element value he had just recovered to start sliding in the direction he came, because he didn't know how big the area covered by the quicksand was. So Xiao Buli felt that it was a wiser choice to walk back, his body had just begun to turn around in the watery sand, Xiao Buli was stunned by the scene in front of him, only to see that under the sand, countless white bones were stacked on top of each other, it seemed that these things were creatures that had been swallowed by quicksand.

But this is not the time to worry about others, Xiao Buli adjusted the angle of his body and began to go back and forth, and suddenly Xiao Buli's head rose with a blood reduction symbol, -5, strange, Xiao Buli looked left and right, how could he still lose blood when he was on the ground?

A hesitant effort, -7, -3, -4...... One by one, the bleeding characters rose up like bubbles, what's going on? Although these blood drops are really a drop in the bucket for Xiao Buli's blood volume, but the current situation of Xiao Buli is not optimistic, he is in the quicksand of the endless desert, his head is a piece of devouring quicksand, and he inexplicably keeps losing blood, which makes people start to feel panicked, Xiao Buli hurriedly swam a few steps forward, hoping to leave this area as soon as possible, but the more anxious he is, the more uncoordinated his body becomes, plus Xiao Buli's body still has a weak DEBUFF at this time, and his action is even more sluggish.

At this time, I saw that the top of the python's head also began to float with some blood-shedding symbols, the number was much more than Xiao Buli, but the number was pitiful, -1, -2, -1 ......, Xiao Buli was so anxious to scold his mother, could it be that it was a problem with this sandy land? But I've never heard of biting sand.

Xiao Buli was in a hurry, and the giant python over there was also even more anxious, twisting his body uneasily, obviously it didn't find the key to his blood loss, Xiao Buli seized the time, pulled a few steps upside down, and got out of the ground, because they had just fallen into quicksand, so it was not very far from the safety zone, and as soon as they stopped, they found that they were standing firmly, and Xiao Buli's heart fell to the ground.

But there are still red characters floating on his head-5, -6 keep shedding blood, Xiao Buli hurriedly checked his body, this look doesn't matter, scared Xiao Buli, I saw that on his two legs, densely lying on countless blood-sucking little beetles, each of them is only the size of a small fingernail, some are shriveled and obviously just hitched in the car, and most of them have a bright red belly, and they are full of blood at a glance, Xiao Buli flicked it with his fingers, and his stomach that was already full of blood was fat and fleshy, But their teeth were already firmly on Xiao Buli's legs, and the two pincer-like teeth were deeply pierced. Damn, I won't drag them down one by one.

Xiao Buli suddenly thought of his lava barrier, just now in order to escape the ground, he had already put it away, otherwise he would not have been attacked by these little things, and hurriedly equipped, the lava barrier has an automatic 50 points of fire damage for the attack, almost instantly, those little guys who made Xiao Buli feel tricky just now turned into a pile of ashes with a whoosh.

Seeing that his body no longer had the number of blood shedding, Xiao Buli looked up at the giant python, although it still didn't find the source of damage, but the scales all over its body shook, and a wave of heat rushed out from its body, making Xiao Buli, who was already full of complaints about the desert, feel even more hot, it was worse than baking a fire on a stove on dog days. But the python suddenly felt comfortable, and it seemed that all those little insects were scalded to death by it.

After receiving the giant python back to the sealing space, Xiao Buli also had no strength to move forward again, and the current situation was not optimistic, he had no mood and fighting spirit for a while, so he found a place in the shade, and Xiao Buli lay down on his back.

Dehydration made his head start to ache faintly.

"Why should you suffer this sin?" The demon had been silent for a long time after Xiao Buli had planned to be friends with him last time. Finally spoke again. Maybe he was stupid, Xiao Buli heard his voice sound, and he actually felt very happy in his heart.

"For my brothers." Fortunately, you don't need to open your mouth to talk to the demons, you just want to.

"Really? Isn't it to make your conscience feel better? You feel like you're pulling them into the water, so you're blaming yourself for doing it just for the sake of your own conscience. This demon's words seemed to be particularly sharp, and he said the problem that Xiao Buli didn't want to face the most.

"Why do you always speak English?" Xiao Buli began to talk nonsense.

"I'm you, I know what you're thinking, but don't think you can divert the conversation, if you still have a glimmer of hope to help them get rid of their demons. But you now know that this is an impossible task. It's not just you, but Gen Mako, who asked you to come to the temple, I bet he must be facing the same problem now. All the people, all the people who enter this game. Eventually, demons will arise. This is an undeniable fact. ”

"What the hell are you? What created you? Xiao Buli knew that what he said was true. He had thought about this question before. But he didn't want to believe it, he would rather believe that Xuan Zhenzi finally got rid of his demons, otherwise his thirty years of effort would not end up in vain. Xiao Buli didn't like this result, he would rather believe that the current demon was just the one who left his body at the beginning, and which demon had used some tricks in his body.

"Idon'tknow (I don't know) I just appeared, synced your memory, and had a part of your personality, and you asked me why I like to speak English, and I don't know, sometimes I just blurted it out, maybe because you used to like to speak, maybe because you passed level 6 in English? That's all, I come from you, I am you, you are me. The voice of the demon turned out to be a little sad, and it seemed that he was helpless about his fate.

"Heh, you all said that line, didn't you? I am you, you are me. You are eating away at our minds little by little until you replace us. Xiao Buli closed his eyes weakly, he didn't have to really say these words, maybe because he was a little confused because of his hot head, maybe because of people's habitual movements, Xiao Buli muttered in his mouth.

"Hey, isn't this our Boss Xiao?" An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Buli's head, Xiao Buli opened his eyes suddenly, and a black shadow above his head blocked the scorching sun.

Almost reflexive, Xiao Buli kicked hard under his feet, and his whole body slid backwards on the sand, and then the whole person jumped up from the ground, the lava barrier in his left hand, and the dazzling sword in his right hand, pulling away the posture, only then did he see the situation in front of him clearly, only to see a team of about a dozen people, four of them carrying a sedan chair like a sliding rod in front, a humanoid creature on the sedan chair, but the shape was a little strange, his body and limbs were wrapped in a thick white cloth, and the whole person looked like a mummy that had just been unearthed, Only two black holes and a small piece of pale skin underneath were revealed.

Then look closely at the four people carrying the sedan chair and the dozen or so attendants behind them, and the mummy on the sedan chair is a perfect match, they are all in tattered clothes, their faces are withered, and the large, hollow black fills the position of the eye sockets, and it is actually a zombie with the appearance of a dried corpse.

Throwing a spiritual revelation, a red name floated above the mummy's head: (silver - leader) undead.

"White ...... Old White ???! Xiao Buli saw the name clearly and immediately exclaimed.

"Haha, I didn't expect to really let me meet a living person, Boss Xiao, how did you get in? You're also in the game? It seems that Bai Yunfei is also very excited when he sees Xiao Buli, but his body does not have much movement, as if the action is not very convenient, looking at him like that, Xiao Buli suddenly remembered the empty boy in the Journey to the West, if Bai Yunfei did not wrap these white cloths around his body, but wore them on his body, it would probably be even more godlike.

"Lao Bai, what kind of reputation are you doing? Why is this dressed? And how are you red? Are you an NPC or something now? "What to use instead of the word monster is because Xiao Buli doesn't want to destroy the beautiful scenery of the reunion between the two.

"You mean monsters?" Bai Yunfei is not very taboo, "Yes, I'm dead, and now I'm an undead monster, my body is given by the system, how can I still pull the wind?" Although he was joking, Xiao Buli heard the helplessness in his words. Thinking that when he entered the game with Zhang Yaoyang, Bai Yunfei didn't expect such a day, but it seems that his state seems to be more gratifying than Zhang Yaoyang.

"Do you still have a sense of autonomy? How? Xiao Buli couldn't help but ask.

"Let's find a cool place to talk, although I don't feel it anymore, but I bet you don't feel good, right?" As soon as Bai Yunfei's words fell, the bodies of those zombies moved, and compared to just now when they stood motionless like dry branches, they were really like rabbits.

Xiao Buli was startled, and only then did he let down his guard when he understood that these zombies were just carrying Bai Yunfei forward.

"Don't worry, they obey my orders, come with me." Bai Yunfei shouted from afar without looking back, and Xiao Buli hurriedly followed. (To be continued......)
