The needle gold was only a little depressed after being hit, and the hard scorpion shell protected his brain, and he didn't feel dizzy at all.

If a normal person wants to hit it at the speed he just had, it will definitely end up with his head broken and bleeding.

Seeing that the lizards had run far away, Needle Jin knew that he couldn't catch up, and Zidi, Cangsu and others were still far away, so he gave up the pursuit.

After this battle, Needle Jin deeply realized one point: "The spear scorpion form is indeed very powerful, but I still need a lot of practice to fully display the ability of the spear scorpion. ”

He can't even run normally, or more precisely, quickly adjust his direction while running.

Looking at the heart core, a quarter of the magic energy in it was consumed.

Completely transformed into a spear scorpion, the consumption rate of magic energy is very fast, far greater than the previous transformation of one or two parts.

Needle gold is not busy lifting this form.

He crawled to the lizard's corpse and stabbed the scorpiontail into the lizard's belly.

The next moment, he used his mind to mobilize the demon core in his heart.

The familiar red light flashed, and four lines of blood appeared on the lizard's body. The blood thread quickly entangled, tying the lizard with all kinds of flowers.

Then the bloodline sank into the lizard's body and became a little darker.

But soon, the blood line became rosy again, and it contracted rapidly, retracting into the heart core with the blood essence of the lizard.

The lizard carcass turned into a pile of toner.

The reserves of magic energy in the heart core have increased a bit.

"Now, I can conjure a lizard's crown. ”

"Even if my whole body is mutated, in this case, I can make the demon core activate, absorb and transform the target lifeform. ”

After verifying this conjecture, the needle gold was released from the spear scorpion form and regained his human body.

Next, he absorbed and transformed most of the lizard carcasses in the field.

These lizards have just died, they are still fresh, and most of the magic power they contain remains, so each lizard transforms a lot of magic energy.

In the end, when he checked it, he found that the magic energy reserves in the heart core were even higher than before the war.

"Now, I can completely transform this acid lizard. ”

"But it can only be turned into black iron level. ”

This result made the needle gold fall into deep thought.

He had a new understanding of the magic crystal in his heart.

"It seems that the life level that I have mutated is not based on my own life level, but on the life level of the absorbed life form. ”

"I've absorbed a silver-level spear scorpion leader, so I'm able to mutate into a silver-level spear scorpion. ”

"But I didn't absorb enough silver lizards, the highest was only the black iron level, so I could only mutate into black iron level lizards. ”

"However, after the silver lizard was killed, I disposed of its carcass and got a lot of lizard meat, and then I ate a lot of it. ”

"So in fact, there is a certain amount of accumulation. ”

"If I had only absorbed a small part of the body of the Silver Spear Scorpion at the beginning, and the quantitative change could not reach the qualitative change, I would not have been able to transform into a complete Silver-level Spear Scorpion. ”

As the sun climbed, the temperature in the desert began to rise significantly.

Needle Gold stopped his thoughts and began to get dressed.

"Although the complete mutation is strong, it is very inconvenient to take off your clothes every time. ”

As he was getting dressed, he saw the hole in the back of his pants and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

After getting dressed, he deliberately fiddled with his jacket so that the back hem of the blouse covered the hole in his hips.

He picked up his knife again and aimed it at the remaining lizard carcass, cutting many wounds.

The knife was originally owned by a member of the exploration team, and he was killed in a volcanic cavern. When he picked up the white buds and left, he didn't forget to take these precious survival materials with him.

It's just an ordinary iron knife, and it's far less sharp than a spider blade. A normal person has to cut several times in a row to break the skin of the black iron lizard.

The needle gold swept away the suspicious traces on the battlefield and buried all the toner.

After the final inspection, he walked out of the range of the golden granite group, and trotted all the way to the front of Cangsu and Zidi.

Seeing that Needle Gold looked tired and had a lot of blood on her body, Zidi was very concerned and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

After confirming that there was no wound on the needle, the girl exhaled a cloudy breath.

"There were a couple of lizards, and I killed them. I also chased away the rest, and now we have food. Needle Jin said with a smile.

This good news made Cang Xu and Zi Di happy.

Needle Gold picked up the white buds on his back and led the two of them back to the golden granite group.

Seeing the corpses of the five lizards, Cang Xu and Zi Di all showed a look of shock.

Greybeard scanned the battlefield again, and saw the chaotic traces of the fight on the gravel, and the many lizard footprints that stretched out, and he let out a heartfelt admiration.

"Needle-smear, I'm starting to believe Lady Zidi's guess now. ”

"I'm afraid you're really not just a silver cultivator. It's unusual that you can have such a powerful combat power under such a meagre physical condition. There were at least thirty of them in this group, but you relied on an ordinary knife and killed five of them without using your fighting spirit, and forced the entire group of lizards to flee. ”

"Your Excellency, you are so brave. But what makes the old man admire even more is your brave and fearless spirit. You rushed to the huge group of monsters alone, not afraid of strong enemies, such scenes and actions, in the history books, are those famous lone heroes. ”

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I can imagine the heroic scene of you rushing towards these lizards alone. The lizards surround you, and you fight bravely with your guts and skill. Those lizards spew acid, you are in danger, but you are strong-willed, and you always remain as calm as ice. ”

"An ordinary iron knife, in your hand, can set off waves of blood. You are as heroic and subtle as you move among the lizards, like elves dancing in the woods. ”

Needle Jin touched his nose and was a little embarrassed to be praised: "You have an overreputation." ”

"Nope. Cangsu shook his head, his attitude very resolute, "Although I am not good at fighting, I have such an age. These traces on the battlefield cannot be faked. ”

A large part of these battle traces are forged by needle gold.

Seeing that Cangsu was successfully deceived by himself, Needle Gold felt a little relieved and a little ashamed: "I have to do this, these lizard meat is enough for us to eat for a long time." ”

Zidi seemed to be frightened by Cang Xu's description, her pair of purple eyes stared at the needle gold, and said softly, "My lord, please don't take such risks in the future. A lot of times, we can think long-term. ”

Needle Gold nodded: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." In fact, since I got rid of the scorpion swarm, I have a feeling of refreshment. I seem to have broken through something, and I don't seem to have it. Now when I fight, my mind is clearer than before, I know more about the state of my body, and I know what I can and can't do. ”

When he said this, he was also deliberate - he was going to lay some groundwork.

He deliberately said it very vaguely, to leave some impressions on the people around him.

In the future, after he uses his heart core to solve the threat, he will also be able to make others not feel that it is weird and abrupt for him to become stronger.

Hearing this, Cangsu nodded again and again: "I've heard some of your situation. ”

"In the eastern part of the empire, there is a group of vindictive cultivators who advocate asceticism. When they cultivated, they took the initiative to wear forbidden magic rings, wore heavy weights, wore the most rudimentary clothes, or trekked barefoot in the mountains, or sat cross-legged under the waterfall to withstand the impact and beating of thousands of tons of water. ”

"They imprison most of their strength, keep their bodies in the most difficult conditions at all times, and use them to torture their bodies and temper their spirits and wills. Often, their vindictive cultivation can break through the limit and grow rapidly. ”

"In the final analysis, vindictive spirit is the power that is drawn and squeezed from the human body. The stronger a person's physical body, the higher he breaks through his own limits, the more potential he squeezes, and the stronger his fighting spirit. ”

The human body is the foundation of the fighting spirit, but magic is different, the essence of magic is to pry the external elements. And the essence of divine art is the divine power that the gods actively lend.

"Lord Needle, your experience on the island is like that of these ascetic powerhouses. At the moment of life and death, your body pushes through its limits and unleashes the potential that was hidden within. Chances are, when you leave this island, your Dou Qi cultivation will go further. ”

Cang Xu said that there were words in vibour, and the needle gold as a party was a little confused.

He didn't expect that he had just made a start, and Cangsu had already made a perfect explanation for him.

Needle Gold reacted, and couldn't help but appreciate Cangsu even more in his heart.

"If I have such a retainer or subordinate, how comfortable it will be to deal with affairs in the future. ”

"It's a pity...... Cangsu is just an ordinary person, if he can practice, then it will be really perfect. ”

As for the identity of the wanted criminal, Needle Gold doesn't care.

Because it's just the Shata family who wants Cang Hu. The territory of the Hundred Needle Family and the Shata Family is far apart, and they have already taken refuge in the Shengming Emperor family, shielding an ordinary person, and the Shata family can't take the needle gold.

Immediately, the three of them took action to dispose of the lizard carcass and cut it into strips of meat.

Although there was meat, no one ate it.

Food is plentiful, but it's not infinite. After this torture of hunger, Needle Gold and the others cherished every piece of food immensely.

After counting the amount of lizard meat, they already have a detailed plan - how much meat each person will eat per meal every day.

Another important reason why you don't have a big meal is that there is very little water left.

The human stomach does not store water, but it needs a lot of water to digest food. Water in the human body penetrates into the stomach and participates in digestive functions.

Eating large amounts of meat can also be fatal in conditions of water scarcity.

"The next step is to replenish the drinking water. Zidi said.

"If we can't find water, we'll die of thirst, if not starvation. However, I believe that there must be a stable and large water source in the vicinity. Abarsu said, his tone firm.

Scorpions and lizards live here, and the two groups are very large, and the abundance of water is an indispensable resource for life-sustaining activities.

Unless they're teleported over as well.

But by all indications, this may not be the case - the two herds have been living here for a long time.

"We can observe the lizards' tracks, and maybe these traces will lead us to a source of water. "Cangsu has a good suggestion.

In the evening, the sunset on the horizon is like burning satin.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Zidi's face, and those amethyst-like eyes suddenly shone brightly.

"Look, the oasis is there!" the girl who climbed the sand dune pointed excitedly ahead.

Needle Gold had already seen and noticed it, and at this moment, he was carrying Bai Ya on his back and sighed: "Sure enough, I found it." ”

The traces of the lizard's activity give them a lot of pointers.

Greybeard was the last to reach the top of the dune, he looked into the distance, and gasped: "That's right, it should be an oasis. But also be wary of mirages. Mirages can create a huge psychological gap, and many people who survive in the desert fall into despair and give up on survival. ”

As the crowd approached, the view of the oasis became clearer.

Zidi saw the tall green coconut trees and heard the fiery red mirror of the lake in the setting sun.

"It's all true, it's not a hallucination!" cried the girl.

The problem of water was perfectly solved.

The faces of the needle gold and the beard all appeared with joy.

However, Needle Gold remained calm, reminding: "Be careful, the oasis provides a steady stream of water and food, and there must be other lives to patronize it." We can't afford to be careless. ”

Cangsu glanced at the needle gold, and secretly praised in his heart: "After going through hardships, the young knight in front of him has grown more than just combat power. ”

Everyone officially entered the oasis.

"Wait, there's a human footprint here! And the footprints are still very new. Needle Gold suddenly whispered, he had the strongest vision, and he was the first to notice the abnormality.

"That is, someone in this oasis?"

"Who the hell could it be?"

Zidi and Cangsu glanced at each other, both vigilant.
