Needle Gold glanced around, and immediately understood that everyone's hearts were fluctuating, and their thoughts and thoughts of the young knight were clear.

As a leader, you can ignore your own injuries first, and you have to take care of the whole team first.

Needle Jin knows that in such a desperate situation, watching himself slide towards the end of death step by step, but he has no way, and the vast majority of people will collapse, go crazy and even go crazy.

Therefore, he chuckled lightly and said with relief: "Everyone, you should be glad that this golden spear scorpion swarm treats us as a herd of beasts, and the scorpion leader and I start a king-to-king duel. Unless the winner is decided, the scorpion swarm will not attack in full force. ”

"Indeed, we are still alive until now, and it is all thanks to you, Lord Needle Gold!"

"But that's right......"

"Sooner or later we will ...... too"

While the exploration team members agreed, they also hesitated.

"As long as we are alive, there is a lot of hope. For example, when you encounter other people, you can be supported and saved. Another sandstorm will disrupt all this, or another case where teleportation will start again and we will leave this place directly. ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, was Lord Needle Gold too optimistic?

Then the crowd spoke.

"Lord Needle Gold, we have experienced two teleportations and calculated the time, about half a month. We just teleported a few days ago, and now we want to be teleported again, so there's basically no way to do that. ”

"If there is another terrible wind and sand like that, we will all be more than lucky. ”

"Now that we're in the desert, we don't know how big the desert is or where it is. Who's going to rescue us? It's too small. ”

Everyone opened their mouths in twos and threes, looking very depressed.

But Needle Gold kept smiling: "But it's still possible, isn't it? When you were trapped in the sand dunes, did you ever think that you would be saved by me?

Everyone looked at each other again, fell silent for a while, and had to admit that there was some truth in what the needle gold said.

"So, don't give up hope at any time. Needle Jin sighed and said earnestly, "As long as we keep hope at all times and don't give up on ourselves, then there is still hope and possibility to live before death really comes!"

"Your Excellency, you are right. ”

"With adults here, we have hope!"

Everyone's eyes brightened slightly, and their morale was boosted by the needle.

But the needle gold immediately changed the topic: "However, only hoping for external help and change is not the behavior of the brave." What is more reliable is that we save ourselves. ”

Needle Gold glanced around, his gaze on Zidi paused slightly, and finally stopped at Cang Xu: "Old scholar, I don't know what you think?"

The potion on Zidi's body was almost exhausted, and the strongest powder was able to release a thick green acid mist. But having tried many times before, acid mist is useless against scorpion swarms.

The desert was very barren, and Zidi lacked materials in her hands, and she couldn't prepare new potions.

Therefore, the needle gold is more looking forward to the performance of the beard.

Cangsu noticed the expectant gaze of Needle Gold, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Lord Needle Gold, I don't have any way to change the situation. In fact, I've always been very confused. Why is this scorpion group chasing after the adults? The biggest threat to their lives here is probably the green-skinned lizards. But they let the rout lizards go, and they have to chase after you. According to the adults, the gneiss is the food of these scorpions. They don't eat meat. But the scorpion swarm always lists us as the number one target, which is very counterintuitive. ”

Someone muttered, "In this kind of ghost place, what common sense is there to pay attention to?"

"Maybe it was Lord Needle Gold who brought great damage to them when he provoked this scorpion group, which made these scorpions hate adults extremely much, so they have been chasing after them and never giving up. ”

Needle Gold shook his head: "I did kill a few scorpions, but they definitely can't compare to the casualties caused by the green-skinned lizards to the scorpion colony. As for the silver war scorpion, I've fought with it. It was the wound on the arm, and my blade only left a white mark on its skull. ”

"Looks like we'll have to kill a scorpion, dissect its corpse, and see its anatomy before we can understand the secrets. Ayosu said his advice.

He has a point of view that the structure of living things determines the habits of living things to a large extent.

Needle Gold agrees with this view, and in fact, he has benefited greatly from this aspect of his past exploration and survival.

It's just that the scorpion swarm is right in front of you, and it is very risky to kill the scorpion and dissect it.

Now it's king vs. king, and the scorpion pack doesn't attack, but watches the duel between the leader and the needle gold every time. If the expedition team were to attack one of the scorpions and dissect it, how would the scorpions react?

It is very likely that a group attack will be launched, and the exploration team with only a few remaining people will be easily wiped out by the scorpion swarm.

It would be too risky to attack and kill ordinary gun scorpions.

The team of the needle needs a good time.

The sun slowly sets.

It was no longer impossible to look at, hanging in the western sky like a round piece of iron that had been burned red after it had been baked.

The daylight dimmed, and the barren desert turned a dull yellow color.

Needle Gold and the others walked in the desert.

Everyone was haggard, with chapped lips, puffy eye circles, hungry stomachs, and sore legs.

Minimum supplies of food and water have begun.

The scorpion swarm hung far behind them.

Along the way, they frantically searched for something to eat together. But the little insect and the little lizard had already been frightened away by the scorpion swarm, and even if they encountered a few plants, under the reminder of the blue beard, the exploration team members had no choice but to give up.

These scattered plants grow alone in the desert, their branches and leaves are small, thin, and their roots are well developed, and they dig deep into the earth.

These plants are not edible, and some of them carry toxins, and once they are stabbed and bleed, they will be poisoned.

Cangsu recognized these plants, so that everyone did not dare to dig up, saving everyone's physical strength.

When night fell, Needle Gold and the others saw huge stones.

This is a group of gneiss.

The explorers weren't surprised.

The road is led by the needle, and this place is the natural camp where the needle once inhabited at night, and it is also the first destination of their escape.

With granite heating, Needle Gold and others can survive the cold and biting desert nights.

They can even place the dry food on the granite and bake it before eating it.

In other places, without granite, they would have to make fires for heating.

It takes materials to make a fire, and there is too little wood in the desert. If they were to make a fire, they would have to burn their own clothes to fuel it.

Here, they don't have to make a fire, and they save a lot of survival resources.

Food and water are the most important survival resources, and clothing on the body can keep out the cold and avoid sunburn, which is also an important survival resource.

The night breeze blows slowly on the face.

The moonlight shines on the desert.

Standing on an almost largest piece of granite stone, the pingold retracted its gaze from afar.

Although the scorpion group also entered this group of golden granites, like the needle gold, they shrank the team and rested in a corner without the slightest intention of attacking.

Needle Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation is more favorable to him.

Ordinary people's vision is greatly limited at night, and there is no needle gold assisted by fighting energy, and now it is no exception.

Compared with humans, wild beasts, especially predators, have excellent night vision.

As for how far these spear scorpions can see at night, it is not clear what the needle gold is.

Just in case, there will never be a shortage of people at the night watch.

Jumping off the granite stone, Needle Gold found Cang Xu kneeling on the ground, squinting his eyes and staring at the map in his hand.

Although there is no fire, the moon is high tonight, and the light is still good.

From time to time, the beard was still using his fingers to draw some lines on the sand.

Sensing that the needle gold was coming to him, Cangsu raised his head and continued to draw lines on the sand.

"My lord, I'm speculating on where we are, and the size of this desert, and the direction of the oasis. Cang Xu explained without raising his head.

Needle Gold nodded: "Any progress?"

"Alas, my lord, you must understand that this work is difficult. The old scholar sighed deeply, "We lack enough information. We don't know how big the island is, how big the desert is, where it is. We were teleported into the desert and were lucky enough to find the oasis. But the desert lacks landmarks, and it's impossible to tell how far away the road we're currently walking from the oasis. ”

"If the sun and moon are not man-made, what we observe is true, and the course of our travel is not changed, then our direction is at least certain. ”

"If the owner of the island hadn't interfered too much, then the island would still be natural. Most of the islands are high in the center and low at the edges. So, if you find a river and go down the river, you can theoretically come to the sea. But we're in the desert now......"

At the end, the old scholar sighed again: "I'm sorry, my lord, I can't bring you more help. The situation is pretty bad at the moment and I think we need luck, enough good luck!"

"yes. Needle Gold sighed.

With a sad face, the boy recounted his current situation: "We have very little food, at most for two days, and it is a minimum supply. ”

"What's more troublesome is the scorpion swarm, and it's hard for us to get rid of them. ”

"I have to warn you, my lord. "The scorpion swarm is not just about death itself. They follow us all the time, and it is a cunning and insidious hunting technique. Just like the red-haired porcupines of the Red Sand Gobi, they will shoot stinging arrows in the face of large prey, chasing the prey, so that the prey will continue to lose blood and weaken in the strenuous exercise, and eventually lose its resistance. ”

"Maybe that's the tactic used by the scorpions. ”

"Even if the scorpion colony doesn't attack in full swing and don't have enough food to replenish, we will get weaker and weaker. ”

"It's not just our bodies that are weak, it's our hearts that are weak. ”

"Pursued by the scorpion colony for a long time, our pressure will increase and we will become more and more vulnerable. What ordinary people need most to survive in an extreme environment is to maintain hope and peace of mind. ”

"I know a lot of records that what seems harmless in the desert is actually very dangerous. Once the survivors in the desert do not discover the truth of the mirage, they are very likely to collapse after experiencing a huge gap between hope and disappointment, thus giving up the principles they abide by on a daily basis, and even giving up their own lives. ”
