Verse 55: Scorpion hunts

The sun scorched the yellow-brown desert violently.

Under the harshness of the sun, the dunes could only slump their bodies.

The air was scorching and distorted, and a man stepped on the hot sand step by step, slowly moving forward.

The man was thin, with puffy bags under his eyes, his eyes were blank, and he walked panting, like a mechanical puppet.

He wasn't just a man, he had a comatose man on his back.

The man being carried on his back had his eyes closed. Even in a coma, his brow was still furrowed and twisted into a pimple.

This is because he has a wound on his back, and the pain has been tormenting him.

Comparatively, comatose men are more athletic, while walking men are thinner. Although there are differences in physique, the faces of the two are very similar, showing their close blood relationship.

It's the brothers of yellow algae and cyanobacteria.

Since seeing Zidi, Cang Whisker and others trapped on the sand dunes by the lizard swarm, the brothers secretly escaped from the green-skinned lizard's lair at the insistence of the yellow algae.

But along the way, they still encounter lizards that are scattered. In order to save the life of the yellow algae, the blue-green algae desperately blocked the acid sprayed by the younger brother. As a result, the blue-green algae was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

The desert stretches as far as the eye can see.

Yellow algae carries cyanobacteria on its back and has been on the road for many years.

He was thirsty and hungry, his stomach had been rumbling for a long time, and what tormented him even more was the feeling of thirst.

His throat was now smoking, his closed lips were chapped, and with every breath he took through his nose, the scorching air poured into his throat like lava.

"Water...... Water ......"

The faint and weak call of cyanobacteria came to my ears.

Cyanobacteria was still unconscious, and the call was entirely from his instinct for survival.

The call broke Huang Zao's dazed state, and he blinked, stopping and standing in place.

Then, he held his brother hard with one hand, and with the other hand was free, he stroked the forehead of Spirulina.

The forehead of cyanobacteria is hotter than the sand and gravel under your feet.

The heart of the yellow algae also sank.

Cyanobacteria are in a coma and have a high fever, which is definitely not a good sign.

Normally, if the patient's illness is too severe, he or she will have to seek treatment from the arts. The priests from the Temple of Life in the Shengming Empire are very good at healing.

But now, with the brothers on this treacherous island, and in the middle of the desert, where can they find the priests of the Temple of Life?

"Perhaps, I should have worked with my brother to save Miss Zidi. She has a potion, and even if she doesn't, she can make a potion. When Huang Zao thought of this, there was a trace of regret in his heart.

But immediately, he shook his head secretly: "No, Miss Zidi, and Cangsu are dead." Now they are definitely dead. It is eaten by the lizards, eaten into their stomachs, and then pulled out again. No matter how good-looking a person is, no matter how noble a person is, no matter how knowledgeable a person is, no matter how young a person is, it will only be a puddle of and urine. ā€

"I don't want to be a puddle of. ā€

"Brother, you have to hold on. Huang Zao said silently in his heart.

He took a step forward and set off again.

"Water...... Water ......" Cyanobacteria still call from time to time, and the call is getting weaker and weaker.

Huang Zao wanted to smile bitterly, but he didn't have the strength to pull the muscles of his face to make a wry smile.

"I want water too, even if I trade everything I have!" Huang Zao cried out in his heart.

"But isn't all our water used to wash your wounds? ā€

"I swear, if I found water now, even if it was a lake, I would dare to drink it dry!"

The secretly ruthless yellow algae was stunned on the spot in the next moment.

Turning the sand dunes in front of him, his vision suddenly widened, and an oasis actually appeared.

Huang Zao was stunned, but he reacted immediately, his eyes widening and his mouth opening in ecstasy.

He screamed.

"Oasis, it's an oasis!"

"Brother, we have water, we have water!!"

"Like last time, we were teleported here and found the Oasis. Now we have an oasis again. ā€

"Hahaha. We're saved! Brother, we're saved. ā€

Yellow algae carried the blue-green algae on its back and took a step towards the oasis at a speed never seen before.

Ecstasy seemed to have endowed him with endless physical energy, and the originally heavy blue-green algae was as light as straw at this moment.

However, no matter how wild he ran, the distance between him and the oasis never shortened in the slightest.

Suddenly, Huang Zao's legs went limp, and the whole person fell to the sand. The blue-green algae he was carrying also fell to the ground, rolled around a few times, and was still unconscious.

Huang Zao looked up, the sand on his face, and the oasis in his vision dissipated with a bang.

Huang Zao was stunned.

Because of the violent rush just now, his chest continued to rise and fall, and he was panting heavily.

"No, no!" Huang Zao knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands and grabbing his hair, hoping that the despair that followed would make him even more painful.

"It's not true, it's not true. He reached out his hand, his fingers spread, in the direction where the Oasis Phantom had been, but he couldn't catch it.

"It's fake, it's fake......" Xanguzae has no strength.

The previous wild run drained his last bit of physical strength, but because of his high emotions, he ignored his true state.

In the end, he fell to the ground, which was also caused by his body being unable to bear it and detached.

There was no oasis, it turned out to be just a mirage.

Everything is empty.

The sun is still hot, the desert is vast, and the yellow algae in it is like a small bug.

Small, pitiful, ridiculous.

The elder brother he once thought he relied on was unconscious at the moment, lying motionless on Sha Shuo not far away.

At this moment, an unprecedented sense of helplessness enveloped the body and mind of the yellow algae.

The pressure of surviving alone, he finally felt it very clearly, and he could no longer resist it with his previous dazed state.

Breathe.

Breathe.

"Don't be afraid. Xanzao told herself.

Breathe.

"I can't seem to breathe......" The next moment, Huang Zao grabbed the clothes on his chest.

Fear, helplessness, desolation, sadness, and other emotions were so strong that they blocked his chest, blocked his throat, blocked his mouth and nose, and almost suffocated him!

"I—I don't want to die......" Finally, Huang Zao burst into tears.

Whew, whew, whew......

Needlegold's chest rose and fell violently, panting heavily.

He is also in a bad state now, the injury on his arm has not improved under Zidi's treatment, the wound has transformed into pus, and he has a low-grade fever all over.

Although water and food were given priority to him, there was no such thing as adequate food and drink.

So he was still hungry and thirsty.

Whether it was hunger, thirst, or injury, it made him feel weak in his limbs.

But now that all of this was forgotten by Needlegold, he focused all his attention on the great enemy in front of him.

Confronting him was none other than the silver-level demonic beast, the leader of the Golden Spear Scorpion Swarm.

After successfully breaking through and shaking off the green-skinned lizard, Needlegold's fears quickly became a reality.

Under the leadership of the leader, the scorpion group chased after the lizard group and the others.

The speed of the exploration team was not as fast as that of these giant scorpions, the size of horses, and they were quickly overtaken.

Needle Gold had no choice but to step forward and confront the leader of the scorpion pack.

This is not the fourth meeting.

The two sides are still evenly matched.

The silver war scorpion hissed and slowly retreated. After some distance, it turned away.

It had a few new scars on it, all made of needle gold.

But the scorpion shell is really too hard, even if the needle gold puffs up and slashes with all its might, it has not completely cut through this layer of carapace.

"If I can urge the fighting spirit, whether it is to increase my own strength or attach it to the weapon to add sharpness, I can kill this scorpion. Needle Jin sighed in his heart.

Seeing the spear scorpion leader retreating, the others did not cheer, and their faces were solemn.

For the first time, they saw the scorpion leader driven back by the needle gold, and they cheered. But then they found out that this silver demonic beast did not really leave, but was surrounded by scorpions, followed by needle gold.

Every once in a while, the leader of the scorpion pack seemed to have recovered his breath and rushed up again, fighting alone with the needle.

The fierce fights again and again made the needle very tired.

He had consumed too much physical strength and energy, and after joining up with Zidi, Cangsu and others, he had never really rested.

But he didn't dare to show the slightest, lest the scorpions see the weakness and rush up.

Needle Gold can barely fight against the leader of the scorpion group, but once a full-scale war starts, he will not be able to protect himself, let alone protect the others.

"My lord, please let me examine your injuries. Seeing the end of the battle, Zidi immediately came to Needlegold's side and carefully examined the wounds on Needlegold's body.

Most of the wounds on the needle gold had been added, some of them corroded by the acid, but more of them were caused by the leader of the scorpion pack.

She took out the potion and sprinkled it on the wound of the needle.

However, she was helpless about the injury on her arm.

The girl frowned tightly and kept shaking her head: "My lord, the injury on your arm is getting worse. My potions have no effect on it. Alas, if I had enough materials, I might be able to concoct a potion to relieve the injury. ā€

Needle Gold patted the back of the girl's hand, with a gentle attitude, and smiled: "Miss Zidi, you have done well enough." My strength has given me a body that is far beyond ordinary people, and once I have a wound, I need more efficient medicine to have a therapeutic effect. But the low-level potions here are useless. ā€

"It's amazing how well you can make the herbs. You've done your best. ā€

The girl was silent for a while, and then analyzed with a serious face: "In fact, the golden gun of the scorpion is not poisonous, although the wound on the adult's arm is very large, it is enough to heal itself by relying on the adult's own recovery power." Only now, we can't get rid of the scorpion swarm. My lord, you can only continue to fight with the leader of the scorpion group, constantly squeezing the energy and physical strength in your body. Every fierce battle pulled the wound again, there was no rest at all, and there was no time to recover. ā€

"Yes, my lord, if we continue like this, we are afraid that we will die at the hands of these scorpions. Someone chimed in.

The rest were also worried.

Everyone can see that the state of the needle gold is getting worse and worse.

In the current situation, everyone relies on needle gold to survive. If the needle gold falls, even if they resist with all their might, they will only be reduced to a meal on the plate of the scorpion group.
