Chapter 126
After a few more days, Lin Huaizhu followed Qi Yi and a few others to the edge of a desert and looked into the vast desert.
In the past few days, they have fought against low-level demon beasts all the way, and they have collected a lot of useful parts, and they have also collected a lot of elixirs, basically all the elixirs that appear in relatively safe places have been unceremoniously collected, but their luck is average, and the highest is only a third-order elixir.
Lin Huaizhu was not interested in these, except for symbolically accepting some to show that she was not coming to the secret realm to make soy sauce, the rest of the time when they were collecting, she stood aside and looked at the wind for them, as if she was doing something bad in the collective.
Thanks to this, their complete change of opinion of Lin Huaizhu felt that she was a very generous - no, she just didn't look down on low-level elixir demon beasts, cold on the outside and hot on the inside - obviously misunderstood, cold is really cold, she was actually a little wary of them in her heart, as for the heat, it was because she was bored standing that she took the wind for them by the way.
"Senior Brother Qi, are we going into the desert?" Xu Tian looked at the endless distance and asked with some flinching.
The desert is full of sand, there is no shelter, if someone lurks in the desert waiting for the passing monks to appear, they are such a group of people are obviously the target of others, and when they enter the center of the desert, the other party comes to kill and seize the treasure, they have no place to escape, they can only become a wisp of dead soul under the other party's knife.
Qi Yi was silent for a while, looking at the yellow sand in the sky.
Xu Tian's concerns are actually his concerns, he himself is a late stage of Jindan cultivation, and if he really encounters a roadblock robbery, he still has the strength to fight, but the cultivation of this group of juniors and sisters is not high, except for Wei Ming, who is the early stage of Jindan's cultivation, the remaining two are in the foundation building period, and the desert is unobstructed, if something really happens, they have nowhere to hide.
Thinking like this, Qi Yi couldn't help but hesitate a little, glanced at Lin Huaizhu, and asked her opinion: "Lin Daoyou, what do you think?" ”
"Me?" Lin Huaizhu was a little surprised that he would ask himself, paused a few times, and said: "I have bad memories of the desert, if Qi Daoyou asks me, I will naturally say that I am unwilling, but there is no way back here, unless I turn around and walk the road again, otherwise I ......"
Qi Yi frowned, it was precisely because of this that he was hesitant, and he was really neither advancing nor retreating.
Yang Yi didn't think about it, with her head, she only knew the most basic point: "Why do you want to turn around?" Is it because you are afraid of danger in the desert? But we are monks, and the cultivation of monks is originally against the sky, so naturally it will not be smooth sailing, if we are bound because we are afraid, then what is the point of cultivation? ”
This sentence made Qi Yi suddenly feel a sense of empowerment, he glanced at Yang Yi with praise, surprised and relieved that she could say this, and then strengthened his thoughts and said: "Senior Sister Yang is right, cultivation is against the sky, if we are trapped by a small desert today, will we give up cultivation if we encounter greater difficulties another day?" ”
Everyone was a smart man, and they understood what he meant, so they stood on the edge of the desert and sorted out the contents of their storage bags, ready to set off across the desert.
Lin Huaizhu died in the desert in her last life, to be honest, she now saw this yellow scene in front of her and unconsciously carried a sense of fear in her heart, she pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and followed behind Qi Yi and the others, or walked into the desert.
She was already aware of the fear of the desert in her heart, and it seemed that the death of the previous life had had too much effect on her, and if the shadow was not eliminated as soon as possible, it would slowly become her inner demon in the future, hindering her state of mind.
Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Lin Huaizhu's eyes, cheering himself up in his heart, and after readjusting his mentality, the aura of the whole person changed.
It's also a shame that she is at the back of everyone, and her changes have not been noticed.
The group walked forward cautiously, and Qi Yi was even more nervous to hold the natal spirit sword, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were faintly visible.
Although he didn't find anything unusual for most of the day he came in, Qi Yi still didn't dare to relax his guard around.
His vigilance was right, and in the next second, something suddenly drilled out of the sand five zhang away in front of him, and the moment it broke out of the sand, the sand was agitated in the air, Qi Yi hurriedly stopped, and looked at the demon beast in front of him with a solemn face.
It was a fifth-order scorpion, with a yellow body and a black back, a scorpion tail raised high, about six feet long, staring at them sharply.
Yang Yi was still a little scared at first, but after taking a closer look, there was only one, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be a fifth-order demon beast, it's okay, it's okay, with Senior Brother Qi Yi here, we will definitely be able to take it!" ”
Lin Huaizhu listened to her words but did not relax at all, because if she remembered correctly, the scorpion seemed to be a social animal, and one of them appeared here at this moment, which meant that it was ......
As if hearing her heart, Lin Huaizhu just thought of it, and a group of large and small scorpions came out one after another behind this scorpion, all of which were around the second and third orders, and they swept away the dense patches at a glance, not to mention dozens of them, and the people who watched were cold behind their backs, their whole bodies were cold, and fear rushed from the soles of their feet to their heads.
With so many scorpions, even if they throw a poisonous needle each, they can pierce their group of people all over their bodies!
Qi Yi took a rough look, the number was about twenty to thirty, most of them were of the second and third order, and the fifth order was the one that was originally drilled out, and this was the largest one, and the color on the tail needle was the brightest, and at a glance he knew that he was the leader of this group of scorpions.
Qi Yi thought for a moment, feeling that if he could contain the fifth-order scorpion that took the lead, it shouldn't be a problem for the remaining second- and third-order scorpions to be handed over to Wei Ming.
Thinking of this, Qi Yi said in a calm voice: "I will contain the leading fifth-order scorpion king in a while, and the rest of the group will be handed over to you, it doesn't matter if you are accidentally stung, first solve the scorpion and then detoxify!" Of course, it's best to be careful not to get stung. ”
The second- and third-order scorpions are not very toxic, at most they are used to paralyze the limbs of the monk and make them unable to move, but the poison is not immediate, so kill these scorpions before the body is paralyzed and unable to move, and then take the pill to detoxify.
"Hmm!" After hearing this, Xu Tian nodded vigorously and replied.
As soon as he finished answering, the fifth-order scorpion couldn't wait to attack, it had lived in this secret realm for many years, and the belonging of the desert had already been separated from it and several other demon beasts, and no creature dared to pass here.
However, I don't know what's going on these days, there are always people who appear inexplicably to cultivate, but it can't beat it, so it can only lead the scorpions under him to live in one place temporarily, and it is good for Mingzhe to protect himself.
Now that it saw another group of people cultivating, and the cultivation was not as high as those who had walked before, it immediately held its head high and geared up, ready to take these few people under the knife, and wash away the previous feeling of grievance.
Qi Yi and the others didn't know that they were being used as a punching bag by this scorpion, they just wanted to get through this desert and go to a new area to collect all kinds of materials, so that they would not come in vain.
Qi Yi arranged everyone, but Lin Huaizhu was left behind, but in fact, it was not left behind, but Qi Yi didn't know what Lin Huaizhu's level was, and he didn't know how to arrange it, so he simply let her act by herself.
Through getting along in the past few days, he believed that Lin Huaizhu was not the one who fled when such difficulties came, so he was very relieved to let her take care of it.
Qi Yi's behavior Lin Huaizhu didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, she was not from Lingxiao Palace, and she had only known him for a few days, so it was normal not to arrange it.
So when the leading fifth-order scorpion moved, everyone also showed their weapons.
Qi Yi was the first to rush forward, and fought with it with a sword in one hand and a sword in the other, and the rest of the people automatically chose the target they wanted to solve according to the level of cultivation, Xu Tian and Yang Yi were both cultivators in the foundation building period, and they were just right to deal with the second order, and Wei Ming Jindan was responsible for solving the third order.
Lin Huaizhu, like Xu Tian and Yang Yi, is in the foundation building period, but together with Wei Ming, she picks the third order to start.
If she dares to do this, she will win with enough magic weapon runes in the storage bag, plus she also has two hundred years of combat experience in her previous life, and it will not be a problem to solve a third-order demon beast.
Of course, she also knows that she has to hide clumsy, knows the truth that wealth is not exposed, and there is no need to rely on rune magic weapons to solve these scorpions, so she released fire spells to burn these scorpions around, and at the same time used the Yunluo sword to knock down the poisonous needles that the scorpions threw at her one by one, and poked them from time to time when they were not paying attention, bringing harm to the other party, and looking at ease in the meantime.
Twenty or thirty little scorpions were quickly eliminated by half, and when the fifth-order scorpion king saw it, he was anxious, and he was very irritated and threw his scorpion tail towards Qi Yi, trying to throw aside this person who had been pestering him, so that he could support his subordinates.
Qi Yi saw its intentions, and stepped up step by step, so that it couldn't free up its hands to help those little scorpions.
Seeing the heavy losses, this scorpion king finally came back to his senses, knowing that he couldn't please this group of people, he immediately gave instructions to retreat, and turned around and ran without any fighting, which really made Qi Yi stunned for a moment, and reacted a few breaths slower, this scorpion king had already burrowed into the sand and couldn't see his whereabouts.
Seeing that this group of scorpions suddenly fled, Xu Tian excitedly picked up the scorpion beast body on the ground, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that they ran away, if they can all be put into the storage bag, I don't know how much the division can contribute!" ”
The shell of the scorpion, the poison needle, and the pliers can all be used to refine the weapon, and the poison sac on the body can be used for medicine.
Qi Yi only smiled helplessly when he heard his muttering, and said: "Okay, let's leave quickly after packing up, we can't stay here overnight, I don't know what other demon beasts are infested in such a large desert, in case of a high-level demon beast, none of us can escape." ”
"Hmm." Xu Tian nodded knowing the stakes, he put away the storage bag, and the group of people set off again.
"Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave, you can't touch the demon beasts in the desert now, but it doesn't matter, haven't you met us now?"
There was a sudden laugh in the sky, Lin Huaizhu quickly raised his head and looked, and when he saw the three cultivators standing in the sky clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he clenched his fists in his heart.
The three people who appeared in mid-air were all demon cultivators, and their cultivation was above the Jindan stage, and one of them was still in the early stage of the Yuan Infant!
