Chapter 226: Desert Monster Worm

Since ancient times, the desert has always been known for its mystery and weirdness, which makes people feel a sense of taboo, and there are many secrets hidden in the endless yellow sand.

Tianxing and the others staggered on the hot sand, they all felt dry at this time, because they were in a hurry when they left the capital of the earth country, so they did not carry a grain of rice or a drop of water on their bodies, and they entered this desolate desert, especially Shui Lu, she herself practiced water spiritual power, so after stepping into this desert, her spiritual power restraint was stronger.

"How long is it until that oasis you mentioned?" asked Skystar, licking his dry lips.

"Ahem~cough~ Well, it is estimated that it will take half a day, I used to ride a camel to go......" Zhao Zong said helplessly.

"Then hurry up, in such a hot place, eggs can be baked in the sand, I don't want to die here~!" Yue Ying complained.

Tianxing shook her head and smiled helplessly, turned her head to look at Shui Lu who didn't say a word, a hazy gauze scarf covered her face, slightly blocking some of the wind and sand that blew through, so that Shui Lu's pale face would not be exposed to the scorching sun, she walked behind everyone with her petticoat without saying a word, looking very weak.

When entering the desert before, Tianxing persuaded Shui Lu, but he was directly intercepted by Shui Lu's words: "If you lose me, what can the three of you do left?" Tianxing pouted a little helplessly, it was true.

Among the four people, Shui Lu's spiritual power is the strongest, if there is no Shui Lu, there will indeed be a lot of trouble, it turns out that it is true, relying on Shui Lu's water spiritual power, it has been able to make everyone walk in the desert for two days without bringing any dry food and water, although the abdomen is a little hungry, but fortunately there is Shui Lu, so it is possible to drink water at any time, but in this desert where water is lacking, even if there is a high water spiritual power of Shui Lu, I am afraid it will not last for a long time.

Walking under a sand dune, Tianxing and the others were already too tired to move their legs, so they simply sat in the shadow of the sand dune to rest for a while and recover their strength.

Tianxing took out a water bladder from the jade pendant around his waist, took a sip and handed it to Yue Ying and Zhao Zong, looking at Shui Lu to find that he was meditating in place, trying to absorb the meager water around him and gather in his body to restore his spiritual power.

Tianxing looked at Zhao Zong and said: "It's not that I doubt you, but we have been walking for nearly half a day, but why don't we still see the shadow of that oasis?

Zhao Zong wiped the water marks on the corner of his mouth, took out a map from his arms and looked at it carefully in front of him, and then frowned: "The map shows that it should be nearby, but why can't we see it, is it that we are lost or the map is wrong?"

"What~!" Tianxing was taken aback when he heard Zhao Zong's words, "I'm lost~!" "There is no food, no water, and now the map is useless, no matter which direction you go, what greets you and others will always be the boundless desert, and when you find the cocoon, maybe you and others will become lonely ghosts~!

Zhao Zong knew what Tianxing was thinking, and he was so distraught that he simply lay down under the sand dune and looked up at the horizon......

Suddenly, the sand dunes seemed to move, Zhao Zong was startled, rubbed his eyes and looked closely but did not find any abnormal movement, when he felt that it might be his hallucination, Shui Lu on the side suddenly stood up and looked cautiously ahead, as if facing a great enemy.

Tianxing and the others stood up inexplicably, looked around but did not find anything abnormal, and when they were about to ask Shui Lu, they suddenly heard the sand dunes, and a crisp camel bell sounded, "Ding Zero ~ Dang, Ding Zero ~ Dang~" came into everyone's ears from far and near.

Tianxing and the others glanced at each other in surprise, and immediately climbed up the sand dunes behind them, and when everyone climbed to the sand dunes, they finally saw a caravan composed of several camels, slowly moving from under the sand dunes.

Yue Ying said with a smile on his face: "This time there is finally help, we can ask them for help, ask for some dry food and water, and by the way, ask where there is an oasis nearby~!"

"Wait a minute, wait until they get closer, I feel like they are not ordinary caravans, if it is a normal caravan, we can naturally exchange some things with him, but if these people are some sand bandits, I'm afraid they won't give us this opportunity~!" Zhao Zong stopped Yue Ying and frowned and said.

"Well, ~ then wait and see. Yue Ying nodded in agreement.

As the caravan progressed in, Celestial Star found that most of them had a sharp blade with a swaying blade in their waists, and only a few of them looked like merchants, walking on the ground with their hands tied and their faces extremely ugly, and their hands were still tightly tied by the sand bandits sitting on the camels.

"You see, it's better to be cautious~!" Zhao Zong said secretly happily.

"What's the matter, there are bandits in the desert?" asked Tianxing, confused.

"Well, although there are not many, but there are some, they will disguise themselves as ordinary merchants and blend in with some camel caravans, and then take the opportunity to sneak up on those caravans, mainly to rob money and goods. Zhao Zong explained.

At this time, Shui Lu said: "I don't care how this caravan was captured, but I feel that the sand dunes in front of them are a little strange, I just saw and felt that the sand dunes seemed to be moving, and I happened to hear these camel bells, and I can feel as if something is hiding under that sand dune." ”

"What~!Did you also see the sand dunes moving?I saw it just now, but then I thought I was dazzled~!" Zhao Zong followed.

"My spiritual power is very suppressed here, so I am extremely sensitive to the changes around me, if I am not mistaken, there should be a fire attribute spiritual creature under that sand dune, and the spiritual power is very strong~!" Shui Lu glanced at the sand dunes again, obviously a little jealous of that creature.

"Are there any other creatures with deep spiritual power in the desert?" Yue Ying asked.

"That's not for sure, the area of the desert and the history of its existence are difficult for us to understand, and the existence of some strange things in it is also very likely~!" Tianxing stared at the sand dune and said cautiously.

Yue Ying stopped talking, handed the 'blood thorn' on his waist to Tianxing's defense, and then took out the spider claw brought out of the 'Death Gate' from his back, and then held it tightly in his hand, watching the camel team march towards the sand dunes with caution.

The caravan remained unhurried and moved slowly, apparently not yet aware of the danger that was coming.

As their caravan reached the bottom of the dunes, two large, strangely shaped insects suddenly sprang out of them.

The insects are all about a foot long, the whole body is blood-red, there are dark spots on the body, the head and tail are spike-shaped, and the organs of the head look very blurry, difficult to distinguish, only a large round mouth full of sharp teeth, which is extremely eye-catching.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately dispersed, one after the other, and when they approached the camels' bodies, they immediately opened the bloody door and bit the camels' necks fiercely, and in an instant the bitten camels were thrown to the ground, and the blood in their throats immediately gurgled out.

The two strange insects did not stop moving, one of them circled the camel's body and spewed a stream of yellow mucus from its mouth to the camel next to it, and the other shot two electric currents from the two flesh-colored holes above the giant mouth that looked like eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the slime-stained camel was covered with white bones, while the human on the other side collapsed to the ground in charred black, and the caravan was suddenly chaotic in terror.

However, since the camels have always been connected by a thick hemp rope, after the camels in the head and tail were attacked, the remaining camels were restrained by the injured camels as soon as they ran a few steps, and they could not run even if they wanted to.

When the bandits of the camel caravan saw this scene, their faces changed greatly, and they immediately turned over and jumped off the camels and fled in all directions.

However, it is difficult to exert strength under the feet in the desert, and it is extremely difficult to walk on it at normal times, let alone run. A few bandits who looked agile and thin immediately rolled to the side, although the posture of rolling on the ground was not good-looking, but it was much faster than the speed of the others running.

But even though they accelerated their escape speed, they still could not escape the fate of death.

Just after these people escaped a certain distance, some strange blood insects with small bodies as small as pythons sprang out of the surrounding sand, and in an instant, they tightly wrapped around these people, and then bit them on their bodies, and these people's faces gradually turned black and purple after being bitten, and after struggling in place for a few times, they lost their breath.

Although some of them tried to kill those strange insects with sharp blades, but after their sharp blades killed some strange insects, the sharp blades were immediately corroded by the blood of the strange insects, and under the helpless hand-to-hand combat, their hands were also injured by electricity, and in the end they still did not escape the fate of being killed.

"There are still some people left, and some of them look like ordinary businessmen~!, we don't care?" Yue Ying asked anxiously.

"Of course, but we have to pay attention to that person, you see~! He seems to be different from the rest of the people~ a bit like a spiritual cultivator!" Zhao Zong pointed to a place.

Yue Ying looked in the direction Zhao Zong pointed and found that there was a man in the caravan, similar in age and body shape to himself, looking like an ordinary person, wearing a loose robe woven of white silk cloth, with a white turban wrapped around his head, but still holding a child about 3 or 4 years old in his arms.

At this time, not far behind the man, a strange insect suddenly rose up and attacked him, and there was a yellow dust behind him, but he held the young child tightly in his arms, and his figure flashed to the side, and then he held a sharp blade in his hand and slashed it down, cutting the strange insect in two, and a layer of yellow spiritual power flowed on the knife to prevent the blood of the strange insect from contaminating the blade.

Just as he was about to kill a strange insect and want to leave, suddenly another strange insect sprang out of the yellow sand under his feet, biting towards his lower abdomen, and when he saw that he was about to be attacked by the strange insect, the man's body suddenly blurred, turned into a cloud of fine sand and dust and disappeared in place, and suddenly sank into the sand under his feet.

The swift insect scurried past where the man had disappeared, and fell to the ground with a 'click', and when it couldn't find any trace of the man, it pounced on the other humans.

After a few breaths, where the man had disappeared just now, a small pile of sand and gravel suddenly rose up and gathered together again, and in a few moments it condensed into the appearance of the man, still holding in his arms the young child who was frightened by the strange insect and kept crying.

In this way, under the constant attack of the strange insects, the man sometimes disappeared into a pile of gravel, sometimes reverted to human form and killed a few strange insects, and then ran forward a few steps to try to get away from the strange insects as much as possible.

But obviously he is not too good at attacking skills, and there are young children in his arms who need to be distracted and protected, so in the end, he can only do his best to dodge and avoid those strange insects, but with the consumption of spiritual power in his body, the interval between his disappearance and appearance is getting shorter and shorter.

Just as he was about to reappear with the young child in his arms, a strange insect suddenly rose from behind him, and its soft body quickly coiled around his arm, and then firmly wrapped around him, but the man kept panting in his mouth, and his body could hardly turn into grit.

The strange worm's body wrapped tightly around the man's arm holding the young child, and then opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit straight at the child's neck......
