When Xu Ri saw Ji Zihe and Hongyu, Ji Zihe shook his arm towards Xu Ri and motioned for Xu Ri to follow.

"You look sullen."

Seeing the sunny day coming over, Ji Zihe asked with a little doubt.

"It's fine." Xu Ri shook his head and said, "I sank the core of the Earth Dragon into the sea of sand. ”

Hearing the words of the rising sun, Ji Zihe's expression was slightly stunned.

"The earth dragon is yours to solve, and you have the right to deal with it."

Less leaning, Ji Zihe said to Xu Ri.

Although he regretted losing a core in his heart, since Xu Ri had already done this, Ji Zihe didn't force anything more.

"Thank you."

Xu Ri breathed a long sigh of relief and said seriously to Ji Zihe.

"In the past, our team started to fight with elemental beasts after they were fully prepared..."

"It's fine. Either way, we're a small team now, and I respect your decision. ”

Ji Zihe interrupted Hongyu's explanation and didn't continue to listen.

"Hurry up and recover, I still have to rely on you two all the way." Ji Zihe smiled and said, "But there is one thing I need to confirm." ”

Then Hongyu and Sunrise showed doubts in their eyes at the same time.

Ji Zihe came to Xuri and stared at Xuri's eyes seriously.

"What's wrong?"

Hongyu's heart trembled slightly, and her voice trembled a little.

"It's okay, don't be suspicious."

After confirming, Ji Zihe was relieved.

"There are some things that I think you should tell me that hiding from me at this moment is not a good thing."

"It's really fine."

Ji Zihe spread his hands helplessly.

"Say."

"I'll tell you."

Xuri waved his hand at Ji Zihe.

Then Xu Ri and Ji Zihe and Zhou Yong will solve the monster's affairs in Hanshan and tell Hongyu everything.

As the sun explained, Ruby's face gradually changed from ugly to angry.

"Okay, you're a good day, this kind of thing, you actually hide it from our team like this, and do it yourself. Do you still have me in mind? ”

After listening, Hongyu slapped Xu Ri in the face.

"It's time to go, it's getting darker. This does not bode well. ”

The darkening sky seemed to be constantly urging the three of them to speed up their pace.

Then the three of them headed deeper into the desert once more.

As the sky got later and later, Ji Zihe found that the collapse in the sea of sand gradually calmed down.

"The earth dragon is at night, won't it be in action?"

Ji Zihe raised his eyebrows, although he was asking, his tone was full of affirmation.

"The Thousand Purple Desert at night is not the world of the Earth Dragon. It's a paradise for scorpions. ”

"So, we're going to fight the scorpions at night?"

"That's right." Xu Ri nodded and said, "The method of expelling the scorpion swarm, from the information brought back by the mercenaries before, although there are no specific measures, there is a way to avoid them. ”

Hearing this, Ji Zihe's heart sank.

"Huh?"

"Don't use the elementals, you won't be attacked by the scorpions." "Originally, the scorpion swarm would start to move directly at night, but since the mutation, they will not be active without the stimulation of the elements. ”

"Look."

Then Sunrise bent down and grabbed a handful of sand, and in the sand, a finger-sized scorpion lay quietly in Sunrise's hand as if it were a dead thing.

"Then your attack during the day didn't kill a lot of scorpions?"

Ji Zihe looked at the purple blackened scorpion in front of him and said with great confusion.

"Originally, scorpions were living creatures, and they had a fixed gathering place. However, since the mutation, it remains to be verified whether they are creatures or not, but the mutated scorpion group, their gathering place, is moving at any time. ”

"In other words, there are tens of thousands of third-level elemental beasts under our feet now?"

"That's right."

Xu Ri gave a very positive answer.

"They'll be gone." Ji Zihe said with a blank face, "If the scorpion colony is activated in this place, wouldn't we be doomed." ”

"We're not in the scorpion pack right now. Scorpion swarm... You listen. ”

Before he finished speaking, Ji Zihe heard a rustling sound, and this rustling sound, from far and near, rushed towards the position of the three people.

"If we stand here now, it will take almost half an hour for the scorpion to leave under our feet."

"We've got to move, and it's not good for us to let the Empire catch up."

"Movement is a must, but the people of the Empire, will not catch up." Ruby immediately said, "We have to leave this place, and there is no need for the Empire to take completely unnecessary risks to chase us. ”

"They will be waiting for us in one place, when we are extremely tired."

Hongyu's words made the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly stiffen.

At the same time, the scorpion swarm gradually came to the feet of the three people, and the scorpion swarm, the black scorpion swarm, gradually came to the three of them from the sea of sand.

Although the scorpion swarm did not launch any attack, the darkness that could not be seen as far as the eye could see also made the air feel a little more solemn out of thin air.

Then the scorpion swarm buried the knees of the three of them like a dark river.

The cold touch of the scorpion group passed on Ji Zihe's legs through his clothes.

Then the three of them waded through the dark river one foot deep and one foot shallow, but the scorpion swarm did not react to the three of them in the slightest way to their trampling.

At this time, feeling the cold touch at his feet, Ji Zihe reached out and grabbed four or five purple to black scorpions.

The cold and slippery touch came, and a strange feeling rose in Ji Zihe's heart.

Then Ji Zihe looked at the scorpion carefully as he walked, and suddenly, the scorpion's pincers seemed to move.

"Huh?"

Ji Zihe rubbed his eyes and looked at it again.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Ji Zihe's puzzled voice, Hongyu immediately asked.

"I just saw the scorpion's pincers move. But now there is no response, is it a delusion? ”

"Pull closer."

Ji Zihe can be regarded as an illusion, but not in the sun, as a seasoned mercenary, he can't let go of any detail.

Then Ji Zihe looked at the scorpion again, and the scorpion's pincers moved again.

"Something's coming."

Ji Zihe said in a low voice, and at this moment, Xu Ri and Hongyu obviously discovered the situation.

"Ready, I'm going to attack."

Xu Ri immediately made a decision, and the elemental shield formed by the earthy yellow two-color light enveloped the three of them at the same time, and also shook the scorpion group near the body to disperse.

With the sound of an extremely strong sonic boom, the scorpion colony also underwent earth-shaking changes at this time.

Once again, the crisis is coming.
