Deep in the desert, at noon.

The air seemed to have been boiled by layers of heat, and the scenery around it was distorting and flowing.

Three camels are strung with ropes and leap across the massive, rolling sand dunes.

The camels are Bactrian camels, with a man and a woman sitting on each of the first two horses, and the last one carrying a modest amount of luggage.

Of course, the difference between men and women is actually difficult to see in this yellow sand, in order to prevent the hot sun from shining directly on the skin, people who have the courage to enter the hinterland of this desert are basically wrapped tightly, with a headscarf covering their faces, and only their eyes are exposed.

The reason why it can be distinguished is because the figure on the chest of the first horse is really magnificent, and the legs of the lightly clamped hunchback are too slender and beautiful.

Qi Zihuan, who was riding on a camel in the middle, glanced around, and everywhere he saw was a long stretch of yellow sand, no cacti, no desert lizards, as if there was no sign of life in this world except for the three camels and two of them.

The real desert gave Qi Zihuan a very strange feeling, on the one hand, it was vast, atmospheric, and boundless, and on the other hand, it was silent, sullen, and lifeless.

"Again, we're running out of water......"

Qi Zihuan means, why haven't we found it yet, is your feeling really accurate, should we go back and replenish some resources before trying......

But there really wasn't much water, and his chapped lips and aching throat made him use subtext plus telepathy as much as possible.

I don't know and I understand it......

He turned his head again and looked at him disdainfully, and a soft snort came from his nose, indicating that he was too lazy to take care of it.

After all, she is a demon, but her complexion is the same as before, and she has not changed so miserably as Qi Zihuan.

The silence continued, and for a long time it was forward, and there was no difference between the surroundings and the hour before.

Qi Zihuan couldn't bear the boredom, and asked again: "Again, do you say that Uesugi Kenshin is a woman?" ”

"I don't know." The figure in front of him didn't look back, and replied sullenly.

"Haven't you seen it? I think he's supposed to be a man, maybe pretty handsome......"

Qi Zihuan was still muttering, and suddenly turned his head again, staring directly at him.

looked at him for a while, curled the corners of one side of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Little Zihuan, I found that you have been asking me some strange questions in different ways this month, what exactly do you want to ask?" Say! ”

"Uh...... I just want to ask, how long did you live? ”

Asking how long you've lived, not how old you are, is an interesting question in itself.

"What? You've been knocking on the side for a month, just want to find out your sister's age? ”

"I'm curious, or you can tell me."

"Hmph, eighteen."

"I believe you ...... blame"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked in one direction again, and with a slight knock of his legs, the camel under the seat stopped moving.

Qi Zihuan also stopped, frowned and looked over, he had already taken out a peachwood sword in his hand, and skillfully picked up the two large kettles hanging on the side of the hump with the other hand, and carried them diagonally on his body.

The camel began to stride restlessly, its head tossing wildly, as if trying to break free from the rope that was attached to its master's hand and escape from some danger.

A shrill cry suddenly sounded, something like the sound of metal rubbing, which made people panic and uncomfortable.

The sand more than ten meters away from the small camel caravan suddenly burst, and a huge figure broke through the sand and rushed into the sky with a rapid and violent attitude.

This figure is a bit like an earthworm, and the gray-brown body is ringed one by one, but it is too large, at least several meters wide and dozens of meters long, and when the slightly thinner tail is also out of the ground, it seems that Qi Zihuan and you are already covering the sky.

This is the demonized sandworm they have been looking for.

Qi Zihuan received this task on the forum, but he only got a rather vague positioning, but he tracked it all the way to this place with his keen sense.

The sandworm had already jumped to the top, and then with a twist of his head, his entire body folded downward, rushing down towards Qi Zihuan and them.

Halfway down, the sandworm had opened its massive mouth as large as the cross-section of its body, and not only was there a dense circle of sharp teeth on the outermost side of the mouth, but even a circle of barbs inside the mouth were wriggling and erecting.

Nima, with such a big mouth, is he going to devour heaven and earth!

Qi Zihuan scolded secretly in his heart, and with a kick of his legs, he had already jumped away from the camel, and before his feet landed, he was a little bit again, and rushed seven or eight meters away in an instant.

When he landed on the ground, he turned around, wiped his left index finger and middle finger on the peach wood sword, and recited a spell in his mouth, and the golden light enveloped his whole body.

He reacted quickly and jumped to the other side.

I saw her hands staggered, and the ground where she was originally located suddenly turned from yellow sand to black hard earth.

The giant mouth of the sandworm arrived in an instant, swallowing the camel, the luggage, and a large amount of black soil, and plunged directly into the ground without the slightest delay.

Qi Zihuan didn't expect that the plan discussed before would not be able to stop the sandworm for half a moment, so he hurriedly raised his sword and rushed back, but by the time his wooden sword slashed, the sandworm had already completely submerged into the ground.

He looked at it helplessly, and the other party could only shrug his shoulders in response.

A dangerous instinct rose, and he swept out, and before he could completely detach himself from the area, a beam of yellow sand erupted from the ground, like a fountain, to a height of more than twenty meters.

His back was sprayed in the back by the edge of the sand spring, like a hammer hitting his back, causing him to fall hard and go far away.

The golden armor was shattered, and his back hurt hotly, thinking that it should be a mess.

Streams of sand springs erupted one after another, passing by and then getting farther and farther away.

It turned into a black cat again, and quickly dodged.

In the distance, the sand could be seen bulging, and the sandworms were moving through the sand at a very fast speed, and one flicked his head sharply, and rushed straight towards the two of them.

Qi Zihuan had already gritted his teeth and stood up, and shouted violently: "Who! ”

There is a sense of subtlety throughout the body, and there is even the feeling that every muscle can be manipulated freely. The back injury is still there, but the impact of the injury on movement is completely eliminated.

"The second plan!" The black cat shouted at Qi Zihuan and ran to his diagonal back.

"Bing!"

The sword flower was lightly pulled, and the speed was a little faster.

The sandworm had already reached a dozen places in front of him, and suddenly his head poked out, and then his whole body flew out diagonally, as if an oversized train was directly hit.

"Fight!"

The battle intent in the body is majestic, and the black light on the sword is bursting brightly.

Step horizontally to the right with your right foot, and you can step a few meters in just one step.

The sandworm swept past Qi Zihuan, and the sand grains it brought up hit him on his face, and several places were also beaten to ooze blood.

Qi Zihuan used Yan Chixia's swordsmanship to stab the wooden sword out with an indomitable momentum.

The wooden sword sank directly into the sandworm's body, revealing only the hilt.

Qi Zihuan bent his knees and pressed his hands against the hilt of the sword, but after all, the sandworm was too fast and powerful, and he had just pulled out a wound of a few meters, and he was thrown out with a sword.

As soon as the black cat dodged the sandworm's attack, it began to turn its head and run wildly, in the same direction as the sandworm.

Just as the sandworm's head was about to burrow into the sand again, the black cat suddenly jumped up and burrowed into the large wound that had just flashed past it, several meters long.

Qi Zihuan got up from the sand, his eyes looked around, and his whole body was vigilant.

After a while, just as he began to worry again, there was a sudden vibration on his left, and the sandworm leaped into the sky.

But it writhed wildly twice in mid-air, and then fell a little stiffly.

Qi Zihuan approached cautiously.

The giant sandworm stopped moving, and clear mucus flowed from the wound.

After a while, the black cat came out, covered in slimy hair.

"Qi Zihuan, water." The black cat approached, its eyes fixed on the two kettles that Qi Zihuan was carrying diagonally.

"Again, there's really not much water......"

"Water." The black cat repeated impatiently.

Qi Zihuan was no longer reluctant, took a large kettle, opened the lid, and carefully poured it on the black cat's head.

It wasn't until a pot of water was poured that the black cat shook the droplets of water from its fur and walked refreshed to the corpse of the sandworm.

Qi Zihuan consciously turned around, sat down on the ground, held the empty kettle high, and tried to put a few more drops into his mouth.

"Again, remember to leave the innermost part of this guy's body with the small barbs for the task!" Qi Zihuan didn't look back, and shouted directly, "Also, you save some and try to keep some for the next meal, we don't have any camels, and we don't know how long it will take to get out." ”

If someone passes by at this time, they will see a small black cat happily munching on a large earthworm.

There was also a man sitting with his back to it shouting.

"Eh, I said, you eat slowly...... No one is robbing you of ......."
