Not long after the exploration team left the golden granite group, someone was horrified to find that the scorpion group had followed again.

Hopes were dashed.

It turns out that the previous practice of needle gold was correct.

The young knight sighed secretly, Cang Xu's speculation made his heart panic, but on the surface his expression was very calm and calm.

"Don't worry, the scorpion pack has just been fed, and we're not on their food list. ”

"The Scorpion King will continue to fight alone with me. ”

"As long as I don't fall, you'll all be fine. ”

The crowd was successfully pacified by the needle.

The group continued to walk through the desert.

They must cherish the early morning time, which is a good opportunity to hurry.

It stands to reason that this is just an island.

There are many landforms on the island, and the desert on the island should not be large.

As long as you are firm in one direction and keep moving forward, you can get out of this nightmare land.

But the people who are in it really feel different.

Yellow sand, yellow sand in the sky.

Dunes, undulating dunes.

It's easy to think that they haven't traveled much distance.

The desert seems to be boundless, and no matter how you go, there is no end to it.

Their physical strength was quickly depleted, and just after the morning, the exploration team members felt hungry.

The food was really too little.

Feelings of confusion and despair are inevitable and irrepressibly grow in everyone's heart.

At this time, the eyes of the exploration team members will be on the body of the needle.

Needle gold opens the way at the front.

He was just a teenager, no taller than the others.

But the members of the exploration team always drew courage from the thin backs of the needle.

These courages confront the confusion and despair in the heart.

The sun is gradually rising, and the temperature of the desert is rapidly rising.

Sweat stains began to appear on the foreheads of the exploration team.

About two or three hours later, the silver spear scorpion suddenly let out a piercing hiss, and the scorpion foot quickly grabbed the sand under his feet, broke away from the scorpion group, and rushed towards the exploration team.

"It's coming!" the team stirred for a moment, then calmed down again.

Because the needle gold had been prepared, he immediately stopped and turned around and faced the spear scorpion.

The two sides fought fiercely, just as yesterday had happened.

After a fierce fight for a while, the silver spear scorpion took the initiative to retreat and break away from the battle.

Needle Gold gasped and did not pursue.

The young knight's mood became more and more solemn.

"Is it my delusion?"

"I always feel that the shell of this scorpion is harder than before. ”

"Is it because the spider blade in my hand is too depleted, or is the carapace thickened after this spear scorpion eats?"

Needle Gold is getting more and more helpless about this spear scorpion.

Every time he slashed at the scorpion shell, it left only a white mark.

Moreover, this trace is getting shallower and shallower.

"Unless I mutate and conjure up sharp bear claws. Otherwise, with this weapon in my hand, there is no way to pose a threat to the spear scorpion. ”

"Also, my fitness is weakening. ”

This can be clearly felt by the needle.

Before, he fought with the silver spear scorpion, moving and turning, and his endurance lasted.

Now the battle only lasts for a moment, and you will be short of breath and weak in your hands and feet.

These days, I can't eat enough and sleep well, and I don't get effective rest at all. He is like a spider blade in his hand, he has seen the limit.

Compared with the fierce beasts such as the spear scorpion, there are racial differences and weaknesses in the human body. Needle gold against the spear scorpion is to attack the enemy's strength with his own short.

Fortunately, the spear scorpion, as the leader, seems to be very cautious. Every time I fought fiercely with the needle gold for a moment, it seemed that I realized that it was difficult to take the needle gold, so I stepped back for the time being.

According to Cangsu, this may be the hunting technique of the spear scorpion. Every time you fight, you weaken the needle gold a little, and after the small amount adds up, the needle gold will eventually be tired to the limit, and it will be difficult to break out at the moment of death.

This may be a survival technique for scorpion colonies.

But for needle gold, it is a point of good fortune.

The scorpion's habits gave him a chance to breathe.

After four such battles, the sun rose to the highest point in the sky.

At noon, the sun was fierce.

The sea of sand under their feet was steaming hot, and the exploration team members felt like fish and shrimp on a red-hot iron plate.

For the sake of long-term consideration, the crowd had to hide from the sun and temporarily catch their breath in the limited shadow on the back of a sand dune.

The scorpions were also afraid of the scorching light of the scorching sun, and stopped attacking.

Witnessed by the expedition team, the scorpions wielded their pincers, twisted their bodies, and burrowed deep into the sand.

This kind of good way to escape the heat and enjoy the cool weather made the exploration team members express envy.

"You say, are these scorpions going to attack us from underground?"

"Then let them come. I've had enough of these days!" someone sat on the ground, weak.

Cangsu still kept his senses and analyzed: "The size of the scorpion is there, and if you want to get out, it will definitely cause a huge movement. We'll definitely find out first. ”

"That's not how they hunt. ”

"Think about how they deal with those green-skinned lizards. ”

Only then did the crowd relax.

Zidi began to distribute food, which was considered lunch for today.

Each person only has a small portion of dry food, which is less than half the size of a slap.

Fortunately, the water reserves are still relatively sufficient.

But at the suggestion of Cang Xu, everyone almost pursed their lips, and stopped after two or three small sips.

Then they carefully tucked the stopper tightly and fastened the water bag firmly around their waists, cherishing it as if it were the most valuable treasure in the world.

Of all the people, the food of needle gold is the largest.

After all, he consumes the most, and he is also the biggest guarantee for everyone's safety.

Even so, these foods are far from enough for needle gold.

The young knight could only eat one bite at a time, as if eating like this would give his stomach the illusion that he had eaten more.

While eating, Needle Gold was also secretly observing the team.

At present, although everyone is haggard and tired, with chapped lips and dull eyes, their mood is generally relatively stable.

White Bud's face is the palest. His arm, broken against the lizard, was now tied and secured, but the pain continued to torment the young man.

The old scholar Cangsu was gently tapping his calf with his hand, and he was relaxing his muscles. To be honest, it is quite unexpected that he has been able to hold on to this point with his body.

Eventually, Needlegold came to Zidi's side.

"How?" he asked softly.

"I'm fine. Zidi shook her head, her amethyst eyes full of strength.

She has a magic robe on her, which is supposed to have the function of regulating the temperature according to common sense. But on this island, it seems to have failed, and there is no heat to escape.

As a result, Zidi was dripping with sweat on her forehead, and her hair was wet with sweat and condensed into strands.

This is not a good sign.

Excessive sweating can cause a rapid drop in body water. In the long run, people will die of dehydration.

There was a feeling of love and pity in his heart, and he knew the reason.

Everyone had water and dry food on them, but most of the food was concentrated in one place, right on Zidi's body.

This puts a burden on Purple and increases her physical exertion on walking.

There are many reasons for this.

While resisting the scorpion swarm, the needle gold is also wary of the people who travel with him.

Hunger and thirst can be unbearable, and the instinct to survive is so powerful that it can make people crazy and take risks.

Reserves of food and water sustained this small team, as well as the authority of the needle.

Leave it to others, and you can't worry about needle gold. Zidi is the one he trusts the most.

At the same time, Purple Di's potion also has a huge deterrent power.

"Lord Needle Gold, I will never fail to live up to your expectations of me. It's just that...... What about you, my lord?" said Zi Di a concerned glance at the needle.

The girl is very smart.

She knew that when the two of them were together before, the needle gold was the main baggage.

But now that Needlegold had given it all to her, it was clear that the Silver Spear Scorpion had exhausted him from the battle.

"I'm fine, I can still hold on. Needle Jin smiled, and his voice raised slightly, "Don't forget my strength, if you fall, I will fall." I must have been the last one to fall. ”

Everyone who heard this naturally had their hearts in mind.

But at this moment, one of the members of the exploration team suddenly fell to the ground and never got up.

Everyone was alarmed and hurriedly looked.

The person who is in a coma is the white bud.

"White Bud!" the nearest explorer hurried over, trying to wake him up.

When he touched his forehead, he immediately exclaimed, "It's hot!" ”

A high fever is not a good thing.

Especially in this case of this lack of divine arts, potions, treatments.

A group of people gathered around Bai Ya.

Bai Ya's popularity is very good, in fact, it is the best popularity in the team.

This son of Orion helped everyone a lot when they were poisoned. Not only that, but when hunting the flying squirrel herd, his archery skills also brought a lot of help to the team.

But he's dead now, and he can't wake up no matter what.

"Let it all go. Cangsu walked over, and everyone immediately moved out of the way of a small clearing.

"Let me try. Soon, Zidi also made a move.

It wasn't until Needle Gold put his water bag to Bai Ya's mouth and poured a lot of water that Bai Ya's eyes finally opened a slit.

He didn't have the strength to speak, but reached out and pointed to his chest.

He looked very weak.

Cang Xu was the first to comprehend Bai Ya's meaning, and immediately reached out and took out a few letters from the pocket of Bai Ya's clothes on his chest.

Seeing Cang Xu take out the letter, Bai Ya's eyes seemed to burst with a glimmer of brilliance.

He pointed to the letters again, and then fell unconscious again.

"White Bud, White Bud!" No matter what happened this time, White Bud was completely asleep.

"Is he no longer good?"

"Damn, it's at this juncture. ”

"I guess this kid knows that he can't do it, and there must be his last words in these letters. ”

"Isn't this kid the son of an Orion?"

In general, only nobles, mages, clergy, scholars, and so on were literate. These people made up only a very small part of the empire's population, and most of them were illiterate.

Everyone discussed, and there were many expressions of worry, doubt, and hesitation on their faces.

"Bai Ya is in great health, and he is fainting now because of his injuries. He's hurt because of the beard!" said someone again.

As a result, a lot of eyes were focused on Cang Xu's body.

Cangsu was silent, as if unaware of the anger around him.

"That's it. "Needles stifled the conflict before it even began.

He looked up at the sky, "Although the sun is still strong, we had better move closer first." Don't stay in one place for too long, the scorpion swarm is still hiding underground. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Understood, Lord Needlekin. ”

"What about the white buds?" someone asked.

Without hesitation, Needle Gold blurted out: "Of course you take him." I'm a Templar, and as I said, I'm not going to give up on anyone, I'm going to do everything in my power to save everyone!"

Everyone's hearts shook together, and suddenly they all calmed down.
