Chapter 188: Desert Penance
In the vast desert, the wind and sand are raging, and the young man in the alchemist's robe slowly walks forward against the wind and sand, and the rows of footprints behind him that are deep in the yellow sand are covered by the wind and sand after a while, all traces are hidden under the desert.
The environment in the Tagore Desert was so harsh that Xiao Yan didn't expect it, and the yellow sand under his feet, under the scorching sun, was almost like a hot little iron particle, so that every time he stepped on the soles of his feet, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and move the world.
When walking slowly, the oncoming wind mixed with fine sand smashed on his face, which made Xiao Yan have to run his fighting spirit all the time, forming a faint fighting gas film on his face, which avoided the end of being disfigured by the wind and sand.
However, although the environment of the great desert is extremely harsh, the fire attribute energy contained in it is very pleasing to Xiao Yan, perhaps due to the exposure to the sun, if you talk about the fire attribute energy here, it is almost a few points more majestic than the small valley in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and the fire attribute energy here is also extremely pure and domineering, which is just very suitable for Xiao Yan to use to cultivate the purple fire fighting qi martial arts.
After only half a day of entering the Great Desert, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that the purple fire fighting qi flowing in his body was obviously more active and cheerful than before.
Walking slowly for nearly a hundred meters again, Xiao Yan wiped the sweat on his forehead, licked his somewhat dry lips, took out a bottle of water from the ring, and poured a few sips of it, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and take out the sheepskin map. He smiled bitterly: "Teacher, in the past half a day, we have not followed the route on the map, and now we have avoided the main route above, next, where to go first?"
"Hmm... Let's go to the Eastern Flame sign first. "Yao Lao is casually and authentically martial.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan took the map and looked at it for a while, frowned and sighed: "Look at the distance on this, if we want to reach the flame sign in the east, we need at least ten days or so..."
"Hey, hey. Let's go... In this desert, even if you walk, it is a kind of cultivation!" Looking at Xiao Yan's bitter face, Yao Lao smiled with a slight schadenfreude.
There was a lament. Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the huge scorching sun over the desert, and cracked his mouth. Putting the map into the ring, he touched the Xuanzhong ruler behind him with his palm, and couldn't help but smile happily, strange to say, although this Xuanzhong ruler is quite large, but under the exposure of this hot sun, it is still cold. It seems that the scorching sun in the sky does not have much impact on it, and in this way, it also saves Xiao Yan a lot of thoughts, after all. If he had been allowed to run around with a red-hot iron on his back, he would never have done such a stupid thing...
Wiping a handful of sweat again, Xiao Yan was just about to turn around and walk towards the east of the desert, his face suddenly changed slightly, and his palm suddenly held the weight of the ruler, and then he pulled it out violently, and slammed it into the yellow sand in front of him.
"Hiss!" The heavy ruler was inserted into the yellow sand, and a terrible hissing sound suddenly sounded, Xiao Yan pulled out the heavy ruler expressionlessly, and there was a red blood stain. It penetrates on the surface of the yellow sand. With a light wave of the sleeve robe, a small demonic beast under the yellow sand was swept out with a strong force.
His gaze indifferently glanced at the demonic beast that had lost its vitality. This kind of monster is called the Yellow Sand Demon Scorpion, which can only be encountered in the desert, these things are often hidden in the yellow sand, waiting for people to step on it automatically, and they only need to wait for people to release venom, the Demon Scorpion is extremely good at concealment, even some humans who walk in the desert all year round, they will occasionally be attacked by them, therefore, this less than a class of magical beasts, but it is often regarded by humans as one of the difficult creatures in the desert.
However, no matter how good the demon scorpion is at concealment, in the eyes of Xiao Yan, who has excellent soul perception, it is undoubtedly like a firefly in the dark night, shiny, and wants to stealthily attack... Hehe, it's basically impossible to use force.
His gaze swept over the demon scorpion, Xiao Yan took two steps forward, cut off its stinger, and put it into the ring, and then got up, took some heavy steps, and began to slowly move towards the east of the desert.
The cultivation in the desert was boring and harsh to Xiao Yan's surprise again, and he used to practice in the Warcraft Mountain Range, but he didn't feel too lonely, but in this vast desert, looking around, out of the wind and sand, within the line of sight, not to mention the human figure, even the shadow of the Warcraft, it is difficult to find, this desolate and lonely feeling is really a bit unbearable.
And the day after Xiao Yan entered the Tagore Desert, it was the time when the practice officially began, and at the request of Yao Laodi, Xiao Yan was almost wearing a knee-length shorts, and the upper body was very simply naked...
For his own image, although Xiao Yan wanted to protest, but he was rejected by Yao Lao, his reason was that only by exposing his skin to the sun could he more efficiently absorb the fire attribute energy contained in the air.
Above the endless golden desert, a bareback figure in shorts was lying on the blazing yellow sand with gritted teeth, and beside him, an old man with a somewhat illusory figure was holding a small jade bottle filled with red liquid with a smile, and the mouth of the bottle was slowly tilted, pouring out a few drops of red liquid on the young man's sun-tanned back.
"Hiss..." the red liquid dripped onto his back, Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, and suddenly let out a trace of coolness, clutching a handful of yellow sand with both hands, regardless of whether the sand was hot or not.
"This "Burning Blood" is applied in the desert, and the effect is much stronger than that of you in the Demon Beast Mountains, although this thing is more difficult to prepare, but the effect is indeed quite good, in the desert, it can make the skin more sensitive to the fire attribute energy in the outside air, and when you cultivate, it can also get twice the result with half the effort. Using a piece of jade to slowly scrape the red liquid away, Yao Lao looked at the young man's clenched teeth and insisted, a smile of relief flashed in his pupils, and he explained softly.
Xiao Yan grinned, but his smile was slightly ugly, and he muttered, "It's okay." Even if it's on it, I'm almost used to it these days, and I'm not a good person, but I'm adaptable, hehe, life is harder than cockroaches. ”
"However, the effect of the cultivation in the past few days is really good, and I can already feel that the fighting qi in my body is advancing towards the peak of the one-star Dou Master. **"The palm waved on the yellow sand. Xiao Yan was a little excited about the Dao martial arts.
"Huh. Nodding with a smile, Yao Lao said softly and calmly: "Okay, let's enter the cultivation state, now is the most suitable time for cultivation." Don't waste your state..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly nodded and stopped talking nonsense. In this way, he turned his back to the scorching sun in the sky, and at the same time pressed his front against the hot yellow sand, and covered his face with a fighting membrane, and then like an ostrich, he buried his head in the hot sand.
Xiao Yan's strange cultivation posture at this time was specially ordered by Yao Lao. Because in this desert, although there is a majestic fire attribute energy everywhere, after a day of exposure, the fire attribute energy in the yellow sand has been precipitated. It is more refined, so this is why Xiao Yan has this strange ostrich cultivation posture...
After burying his head in the loess, Xiao Yan's senses slowly fell silent, and the sound of the raging wind and sand around him was also annihilated, and his mind gradually returned to his body. Under the sun. It is rapidly invading the body, although the burning pain in between makes the skin twitch uncontrollably. But that majestic pure fire attribute energy still made Xiao Yan happy in his suffering.
With the stimulation of the skin by burning blood, the fire attribute energy that was already extremely rich in the surrounding heaven and earth was as if it had found the source, and it was continuously infused into Xiao Yan's body, and after being promoted to become a fighting master, Xiao Yan was able to arrange these infused energies properly without spending too much effort.
Controlling the flow of these fire attribute energies through several meridians, after refining, the fire attribute energy was infused into the purple cyclone in the lower abdomen.
Cultivation was carried out slowly in such boredom and loneliness, and when the burning blood on Xiao Yan's back was completely volatilized, a small drop of purple liquid finally condensed again in the purple cyclone.
A small purple liquid flowed happily in the cyclone, like a small fish in a lake, light and active.
Mentally staring at the newly formed small purple liquid, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, after this period of probing, he faintly calculated that it seemed that when the small liquid in the cyclone reached about fifteen drops, he would be able to reach the energy needed to be promoted to a two-star fighter, and now, the purple small liquid of the cyclone has thirteen drops, that is to say, if two more drops of purple small liquid are condensed, then Xiao Yan should be able to be promoted to a two-star fighter!
"It's almost there...", Xiao Yan raised his head violently, shook off the yellow sand on his hair fiercely, and then jumped up from the sand, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Soon!
Standing aside, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, who was roaring loudly and venting his emotions in his heart, smiled slightly, and muttered softly: "Little guy, although your talent is not low, your dedication is the key to success in the end... I'm looking forward to the three-year covenant in a few months, when she gave you an indelible humiliation, and now you are entitled to take it back yourself..."
Slowly raising his head, Yao Lao looked at the huge hot sun, then turned his head to stare at the thin and persistent back of the young man, and suddenly smiled faintly.
"Although the cultivation is hard, but you have never given up, all of this is your own hard work and sweat in exchange for success, I believe that in the future, you will be able to stand at the peak of the Douqi Continent!"
