The Jian Xiu caravan gradually disappeared, and Mo Li returned to the state of a person.

It's not a person, after all, there is still Old Man Ji.

"Elder Ji, do you want to go directly to the scorching desert now?"

Mo Li asked Old Man Ji, although Mo Li was no longer the fledgling chick, he could not compare with Old Man Ji in terms of experience and knowledge.

It's not just Mo Li, even if the five continents are combined, I believe there are not many people who can compare with Old Man Ji.

Old man Ji sneered: "Go directly, with your strength, if you don't make some preparations, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back." ”

"So what should I do?"

Mo Li was accustomed to the ridicule of Old Man Ji from time to time, so his tone was as usual.

"Go find some water. ”

Mo Li was stunned: "Water, ordinary water?"

"That's right, a few more cylinders. ”

"What's the use of this ordinary water?"

Mo Li was a little puzzled, when it came to innateness, there was no need to drink water to maintain body functions, and the aura in heaven and earth was the best tonic.

Even in the desert, there is no problem with the body of the five elements.

"You go find it first, you don't know what you say now, and you'll know when the time comes. ”

Old man Ji urged.

Mo Li shrugged, walked into the inn, and asked the store for a few jars of water.

The store is also very generous, even the tank with water was given to Mo Li, and he insisted on not wanting Mo Li's spirit stone.

Mo Li thanked him and left the inn, he knew that the store was only so polite to him because of Jian Xiu's face.

"Now, let me see what the scorching desert is like. ”

Without the slightest pause, Mo Li walked towards the city gate.

The sun is like fire, the yellow sand is long, the sun shines on the golden yellow sand, and the whole sand surface reflects a bright light.

The whole desert was silent, with no people and no beasts. From a distance, it seems that there are illusory flames blooming on the yellow sand, like a huge firebox, baking the entire ground.

The temperature is so high that it's unbearable.

However, in such a place where it is difficult to walk, there is a column of footprints, deeply dented

When the wind and sand blow, the footprints disappear immediately, hiding the traces of walking under the wind and sand.

And who else made these footprints but Mo Li.

Mo Li squinted at the sun that seemed to be several circles larger overhead, felt the hot skin and the clothes that were about to burn, and sighed: "The scorching desert lives up to its name. ”

Mo Li stepped on the sand one by one, leaving footprints one after another.

Surprisingly, Mo Li walked barefoot.

When he first entered the scorching desert, Mo Li's feet still had shoes on his feet, but when he fell into the sand one by one, Mo Li's shoes were burned.

The sand on the surface is scorched by the sun, and the temperature is unknown how high.

With Mo Li's physique, walking barefoot in the desert, there is a feeling that the soles of my feet are burned.

"Ji Lao, it's been so long, why haven't you encountered any demon beasts?"

"What are you anxious about, I see, this scorching desert is unexpectedly big, and the monsters are scattered, and the chance of encountering them is not great. If you continue to walk inside, you will always run into monsters. ”

Saying that, Old Man Ji looked into the distance: "In this direction, I feel an unusual aura, the spiritual power there is extremely active, I suggest you go and take a look." Of course, I don't know if it's dangerous, but if you don't want to go in, just stop before then. ”

Mo Li looked in the direction pointed by Old Man Ji and narrowed his eyes: "Let's go over first, and it's not too late to talk about it then." By the way, Elder Ji, how long did it take to get to the place you said?"

Old man Ji pondered for a moment: "I came here to practice, you have to control the speed of travel, just like the speed just now, in this case, it will take about ten days." ”

Mo Li smiled bitterly: "Okay, ten days will be ten days." ”

Old man Ji gloated a little and said: "Let's go, even if you walk in this kind of place, whether it is for your physique or spirit, it will be of great benefit." ”

Mo Li sighed and stepped on the yellow sand one by one, leaving footprints.

As he walked slowly, the oncoming wind mixed with fine sand smashed all over his body, and with the scorching sun, he could feel pain everywhere in his body.

Even so, Mo Li did not use spiritual power to protect his body, one of the purposes of coming to the scorching desert was to refine his body, if he used spiritual power, what effect would it have.

At the same time, Mo Li took out the Xuanjin Bead obtained from the auction and slowly absorbed the pure gold spiritual power in it.

I don't know how long I walked, but the sun had slipped from the sky to the horizon.

Mo Li still walked forward as usual, and the pure gold spiritual power in the Xuanjin Bead flowed into Mo Li's dantian little by little.

Mo Li's footsteps fell, and his complexion suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, the Xuanjin Bead disappeared, replaced by the Spirit Devouring Sword, and the spiritual power under his feet exploded, jumping high.

The next moment, a huge black shadow rushed out from where Mo Li was standing just now.

Mo Li's eyes froze, and a huge worm-like demon beast rose from the ground, its bloody mouth opened, its sharp teeth circled its mouth, and a trace of mucus mixed with yellow sand, dripping from its mouth, making people sick to their stomachs.

"It turned out to be a sandworm. ”

Mo Li's eyes showed a look of disgust, and he slashed down with a sword, cutting it in two.

The insect-like demon beast was instantly split in two, letting out bursts of ugly roars, and with a "snap" sound, the two bodies fell on the yellow sand at the same time.

Blue blood splattered out and landed on the yellow sand, emitting wisps of green smoke.

Mo Li landed steadily on the yellow sand, seeing the trace of green on the body of the Spirit Devouring Sword, he stopped the feeling of nausea, and the spiritual power covered the Spirit Devouring Sword, evaporating the blood of the demon beast.

At this moment, the demon beast that had been broken into two pieces suddenly became difficult, one left and one right towards Mo Li's bag.

Two streams of green liquid shot out of its body, shooting towards Mo Li, and a sour smell spread.

Mo Li frowned: "I have long heard that the strength of this sandworm is very weak, but its vitality is very tenacious, and now it seems that it is really not ordinary." ”

With a light footstep, he dodged two green streams of liquid.

The green liquid falls on the yellow sand, corroding the yellow sand flakes, leaving two large pits.

Then Mo Li's hands opened, and two fist-sized balls of spiritual power light burst out, slamming into the bodies of the two severed demon beasts.

Two explosions were heard, and the two bodies were blown to ashes.

This sandworm is only found in the desert, the liquid has a slight toxin and strong corrosiveness, and it is extremely vigorous, and often shoots at people walking in the desert. The strength of the sandworm is very weak, but the most difficult thing about it is that it is hidden under the sand layer, which is difficult to detect, and ordinary people suffer in this place.

But for Mo Li, who has divine sense, the sandworm is as bright as a firefly in the dark, and it wants to sneak attack him, but it doesn't exist.

Mo Li put the Soul Devouring Sword back into the Taiji Diagram, took out the Xuanjin Bead, and continued to move forward.

But since there were demon beasts attacking, Mo Li was naturally more careful.

As Mo Li continued to move forward, he also disposed of the sandworms that wanted to attack him several times.

The sun was also setting slowly, Mo Li exhaled lightly, and the blazing desert cooled down slightly.

Of course, this is only compared to the previous desert, and if you want to compare it with the outside world, the temperature is still much higher.

"Alright, that's all for today. ”

Old man Ji looked at the sky and said to Mo Li.

Mo Li was stunned: "Don't you continue walking, if you don't rush at night, can you get there in ten days?"

"Nonsense, I must have counted the night, don't worry, it will be in ten days. ”

Mo Li nodded, a little puzzled, "Why didn't you let me go at night?"

Old man Ji sneered: "With your current strength, if you travel overnight, you can only become food for demon beasts." ”

At this moment, Mo Li's divine consciousness suddenly sensed that one breath after another came out from under the sand layer, and it was coming towards Mo Li at an extremely fast speed.

Mo Li's expression changed, and the Spirit Devouring Sword fell into his hand, looking around vigilantly.

Old man Ji's eyes flashed: "You don't want to know why I asked you to bring water, it will work now." ”

More and more breath surrounded Mo Li, and a pair of soybean-sized green eyes gradually appeared, making Mo Li's scalp tingle.

"Quick, sprinkle the water on the ground around you, and then use your spiritual power to keep the water in a circle, enveloping you.

Old man Ji said in a hurried tone.

Mo Li didn't dare to slack off, took out a jar of water, sprinkled half of it on the ground, and condensed the grains of yellow sand together, while the other half surrounded himself in a circle.

After doing this, Mo Li nervously looked at the more and more dense green eyes around him.

Barbs with metallic luster, green eyes the size of soybeans, gently flapping wings, and a palm-sized body.

These are called desert scorpions, which hide in the desert and do not move during the day, only at night when they forage for food.

The combat ability of this desert scorpion is not strong alone, even weaker than that of a sandworm, but this thing is a group demon beast, and it can be dispatched at a time from hundreds to countless.

Ants can pile up dead elephants, let alone these desert scorpions.

"The most hated and feared thing about this desert scorpion is water, which is why they only live in the desert. One of the reasons I asked you to bring water was to prevent these things. ”

Sure enough, after scattering the water, these desert scorpions all stopped advancing and surrounded Mo Li.

Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was night, and the temperature had dropped a lot, if it was daytime, this water tank would have evaporated.

But then again, if it was daytime, these desert scorpions wouldn't come out.

After a moment of stalemate, these desert scorpions slowly left Mo Li's side and foraged for food.

The next scene made Mo Li's eyes widen.

When the desert scorpion was looking for other prey around Mo Li, the sandworms hidden under the sand layer rushed out.

The desert scorpion's green eyes glowed and pounced on the sandworm.

Unexpectedly, many sandworms jumped out of the sand layer and pounced on the desert scorpion.

The two sides began to fight, and green blood, sprayed out from time to time, dyeing the black body of the desert scorpion green.

And many desert scorpions were also swallowed by sandworms.

The sandworm has tenacious vitality and is stronger than the desert scorpion, so it takes several desert scorpions to kill a sandworm.

But the number of desert scorpions is too much, the number of sand worms is decreasing one by one, and the desert scorpions rush up, and in an instant, a sand worm dozens of times the size of the desert scorpion is gone.
