In the dry sandy land of the chaotic plains, there is a highly venomous sand snake, with a red head and a brown back, and a body less than three feet long. This sand snake is a social snake, which is nocturnal and moves in groups to forage for food.

The shadows that were getting closer and closer were the red-headed sand snakes, numbering thousands, and as their bodies swam across the sand, they made a "snort" sound, completely encircling the two of them.

If you want to survive, you must either kill all these poisonous sand snakes, or you can fight your way out of the encirclement of the sand snakes. The first of these two options is extremely difficult to implement and very risky, and the best option is undoubtedly the second.

The gray-clothed young man frowned slightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed from his eyes. Suddenly, he pressed the hilt of the sword with his backhand, quickly pulled out the sword, flew down the sand dune, squatted down beside Bian Yao in a few steps, quickly picked it up and carried it on his shoulder, and then rushed towards the sand snake group with the sword.

Don't look at the small size of these sand snakes, but they are very agile and agile when they move, and they are extremely aggressive! When they saw a figure pounce on them, they raised their heads and spat out their tongues, making a posture of both offense and defense.

Half a foot away, the gray-clothed young man suddenly flew up, picked up a piece of sand with his toes, and threw it towards several sand snakes in front of him.

While the sand snake shook its head to avoid it, the young man quickly stepped forward and swung his sword like lightning.

In an instant, a cold arc slashed through the necks of the three sand snakes, and their heads were separated in an instant! The three headless sand snakes fell on the sand and died at the same time.

Before the other sand snakes could swim closer, the gray-clothed young man suddenly lowered his body, leaned out on one leg and swirled on the sand. Suddenly, the raised sand and gravel scattered in all directions. Immediately after, a sword light flashed several times, and in just a few breaths, more than a dozen sand snakes broke into two.

In this way, the gray-clothed young man carried Bian Yao on his shoulders and walked forward quickly, and at the same time used his tricky swordsmanship, almost non-stop, swinging and slashing, eager to break through the encirclement of the sand snake.

In a hurry, the young man stepped past a broken snake, but the sand snake that had been cut off by the waist was not completely dead, so he suddenly leaned out and bit his right foot.

Caught off guard, he was bitten by a poisonous sand snake on his ankle. The gray-clothed young man let out a low snort from his mouth, and after running two steps, he instantly jumped forward with all his strength, and jumped more than three feet away directly with Bian Yao, breaking away from the sand snake.

After the gray-clothed young man landed, he did not stop at all, and continued to run forward more than ten zhang away at great speed, only then did he squat down suddenly, gently put Bian Yao on the ground, and then tore off a strip of cloth from the corner of his clothes, and quickly wrapped it around two inches above his knees to prevent the spread of snake venom.

In just a few moments, a large group of highly venomous sand snakes chased after them, revealing an aggressive momentum.

The gray-clothed young man glanced sideways behind him, gritted his teeth fiercely, raised his hand to pick up Bian Yao's shoulder, raised his sword and ran forward at full speed again, and escaped seven or eight miles away in a "zhi" shaped line before he stopped.

Holding the sword in his backhand and thrust it into the sand, the young man lowered the "unconscious" Bian Yaoping, then sat on the ground, stretched out his hand and lifted his right leg, which had been completely numb, ready to force out the snake venom in the leg.

By the starlight, the gray-clothed young man lifted the hem of his trousers neatly, and found that the entire foot and neck were high and swollen, and the surface was dark. He hurriedly took out a sharp dagger from his arms, used the tip of the blade to cut a few deep marks on the bite, and then raised his right palm and pushed his luck down along his knee repeatedly, and black blood slowly flowed out of the cut with fishy poison......

Just before dawn, when the sky is about to break, the surroundings are eerily silent.

Bian Yao, who was lying on the sand and didn't move, suddenly moved his body, and a few unconscious low hums came out of his mouth, and then slowly opened his eyes.

The sky was slightly bright, and the stars in the sky were very thin.

Bian Yao turned over and sat up, feeling a little trance, so he shook his head, turned his head to look around, and found that the gray-clothed young man was meditating with his eyes closed next to him. When his eyes first fell on the young man's body, he faintly felt that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't say the reason.

Soon, Bian Yao gave up thinking, he withdrew his gaze from the gray-clothed young man, carefully looked at the surrounding environment a few more times, frowned and said to himself: "This doesn't seem to be the original place. ”

Suddenly, there was a soft sigh, and Bian Yao vaguely felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable heat flowing slowly in his brain, as if it could burn at any time. In addition, he also noticed that some changes had taken place in his body, and it seemed that there was a lot of extra strength in his body to vent for no reason.

Suddenly, Bian Yao seemed to recall something, and his eyes widened and fell into deep thought. It didn't take long for him to suddenly realize that all kinds of signs and characteristics showed that he had stepped from the realm of dreamwalkers to the realm of dreamers, and had become an early dreamer.

Compared with Dream Maniac and Dream Walker, the two are at two completely different realms. From the early stage of Dream Walker to the middle stage and then to the late stage, it is a stage breakthrough that belongs to the same realm level, and from the late stage of Dream Walker to the early stage of Dream Mania, it is a breakthrough at the realm level; the biggest difference is the obvious improvement of comprehensive ability, which is specifically reflected in the combat effectiveness and the use of "Phantom Dream Shadow".

Thinking of the end, Bian Yao's face showed excitement, he suddenly bounced up from the sand, and instantly jumped more than three feet high! After landing on the ground, when he turned his head with a smirk and looked at the gray-clothed young man who was meditating with his eyes closed, he was unexpectedly stunned, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

At this time, the sky had just dawned, and the light was much brighter than before.

From the angle and distance from which Bian Yao was standing, he could clearly see the unusually pale face of the gray-clothed young man. When his gaze moved to his feet, he saw a large pool of recently dried black and brown on the sand, which was particularly conspicuous.

Quickly walked up to the gray-clothed young man, squatted down, gently lifted his trouser legs, and found that the entire foot and neck were high and swollen along with the upper and lower sides, and the skin was gray-purple.

"Are you okay, are your feet ......" Bian Yao frowned, thinking of the movements he made at night, as well as the changes in the environment after waking up, and then the injury of the young man, the remaining doubts in his heart have been completely resolved.

"It's just a little snake venom, it can't be wasted!" The gray-clothed young man opened his blazing eyes, the expression on his face was flat as usual, but his voice sounded a little tired.

When Bian Yao heard him say this, he immediately laughed, and hurriedly took out a handful of "Qingling Fruit" from the space bag and handed it to him, saying, "This can cure many kinds of poisons, you can eat a few and try it." ”

This time, the gray-clothed young man rarely did not refuse, but directly took a few Qingling Fruits from Bian Yao's palm and threw them into his mouth, chewed them a few times and swallowed them. He had forced most of the snake venom out of his body, and the few remaining remnants of the venom needed to be slowly eliminated.

Bian Yao stared at his ankle and waited quietly. There was not much time, and the gray-clothed young man looked down at his ankle and found that most of the swollen area had disappeared, and the original gray-purple skin had also turned red. The probe touched his ankle, and the boy suddenly stood up, perhaps because of the excessive blood loss, his body shook slightly, and immediately stood firm again.

"What are you doing when you get up? It's not too late to go when the swelling has subsided. Bian Yao hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him, but was blocked by the young man waving his hand.

"Don't get in the way! The spirit fruit you gave is very useful, and it is estimated that it will be able to fully recover in another half an hour. I'll go back and pick up my things first. As he spoke, the gray-clothed young man pulled out the simple sword from the sand, resolutely turned around, and slowly walked north.

Bian Yao turned his head to look left and right, only to find that the two burdens of the young man were gone, and he immediately understood that he felt that something was wrong from the beginning, and it turned out that there were two burdens missing. He didn't say anything, and silently followed the gray-clothed young man to the north.

The morning sun had just risen half of its curved head, and in the light of the autumn morning light, the surface of the sand was covered with a faint layer of red.

Half an hour later, dead snakes began to appear on the sand in front of them, and there were hundreds of sand snake corpses less than twenty zhang away, almost all of them were half-cut and half-cut, and none of them were complete. Bian Yao looked at the snake corpse on the ground, his scalp couldn't help but tingle, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

The two of them came to the top of the sand dune, the burden and the scabbard were still in place, the young man in gray had just inserted the sword into the sheath, Bian Yao hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the two big burdens, and picked up the blue sword cloth on the ground and handed it over, and said with a smile: "I'll take the burden for you first, if you are willing, you can put these things in my space bag, which is more convenient." ”

Regarding Bian Yao's sudden move, the gray-clothed young man just glanced at him indifferently, and then took the cloth from his hand without saying a word, and did not speak.

"Thank you for saving me last night!If it weren't for you......" Bian Yao looked at the gray-clothed young man who was bowing his head and wrapping his sword with a sincere face, and his voice was full of gratitude.

After a while, the gray-clothed young man put the wrapped sword on his left shoulder, suddenly stretched out his right hand forward, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and said in a light tone: "Give it to me, it's okay, I'm still used to taking my own things, and you don't have to feel that you owe me anything." Since you and I are walking together, we should fulfill our responsibilities as companions, and I only do what I should do. ”

Bian Yao's face froze slightly, and he raised his eyes to meet the sight of the gray-clothed young man, as if he saw a wonderful will from the other party's gaze, mixed with heavy perseverance and an inexplicable persistence. His lips moved, but he didn't speak, and slowly handed the burden in his hand to the sword cultivation boy.

Under the autumn morning sun, the two of them walked down the sand dunes one after the other, and walked slowly southward, seeing their steps getting faster and faster from a distance, and after a short time they ran again, and gradually disappeared behind the undulating sand dunes.
