Deserts and ice fields are considered to be the least life-friendly areas.

In contrast, deserts are a bit worse than ice sheets. The ice field is very cold and windy, but as long as there are means to resist the cold, both plants and animals can live tenaciously, at least there, the most important resource for life, water, is very abundant.

The desert is different, with hot days and cold nights, and a frighteningly dry climate that brings together all the detrimental factors to life.

At midnight, it's so cold that it seems like blood freezes; At noon, the rocks under the scorching sun are hot enough to be used to fry eggs; The ever-howling wind accelerates the sand to the point of being like marbles thrown out of a rope, and if you are not careful, you will be beaten to the head and bleed.

However, these are not nothing, the real most terrible thing in the desert is the lack of water.

"Fortunately, we have prepared enough water, otherwise we would probably be the same as these people......" Xiao Buyi looked at the pile of white bones under the cliff not far away, and said fearfully, "Although I have heard that it is difficult to find a drop of water in the desert before, I didn't expect that I really couldn't find a drop of water!" ”

"We are monks, we can fly to the sky, and we won't die of thirst." Wu Xie fried eggs on a clean black stone and said with a smile.

It's just that he is also muttering in his heart: "The desert of this world realm is much more exaggerated than the one on earth!" There are also some oases in the deserts on the earth, a little bit of underground water...... It's a bit of a cactus or a little bug or something. But in the desert of this worldly realm, there is really not even a single living thing...... Fortunately, I built an ordinary spring in the Heavenly Book World Realm before leaving, otherwise I was afraid that I would have to turn back halfway to find water. ”

After three days in the desert, they really haven't found even a single drop of water.

This desert located in the northwest of Kyushu is so vast that it is almost impossible for mortals to cross it, and even monks must be fully prepared before daring to head into the interior of the desert.

Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi had prepared a lot of food and water in advance, but they still seriously underestimated how unfriendly the desert was to all living people - just the first day after entering the desert, they drank the drinking water that would normally last for four to five days.

The monks are far stronger than ordinary people, so the water in their bodies volatilizes faster than ordinary people. While this can be avoided with just a few simple spells, the harsh environment can greatly increase the amount of mana required to maintain a spell. Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi vetoed this practice after a brief discussion, preferring to drink more water and maintain sufficient mana.

As a result, they originally planned to be able to drink water for half a month, but today they have drunk it all.

However, Xiao Buyi didn't know about Lu Dao, he only knew that Lu Dao Wu Xie was always able to take out water from the storage medicine box he carried, and he always seemed very calm and not nervous.

"The famous faction deserves to be a famous faction! Wu Daoyou, inside your box, I'm afraid it's bigger than a warehouse, right? He said enviously, "We loose cultivators are really incomparable to you!" ”

He also has storage items, which are gray belts with space for a large wooden box. However, it contained a lot of various magic utensils and materials, and there was hardly any room to hold water - most of the casual cultivators were like this, and all their net worth was carried with them.

Therefore, there are often murders and overselling among the loose cultivators, because they all know each other's ways, as long as they kill each other, they have a great chance to get all the accumulation of each other's lives.

In contrast, it is the disciples of a big sect like Wu Xie who are more shabby. Don't look at his family, he is quite complete, but if you calculate the total value, I am afraid that it is not even a fraction of Xiao Buyi.

The reason is very simple, for them, it is good to keep the things they don't usually need in the sect, and they only need to carry some of the most important and commonly used things with them.

For example, Wu Xie himself, invisible sword, ghost ring, magic robe, magic sword, runebook, vacant boots, storage medicine box, sunglasses, bamboo card, long knife. He felt that he had enough to bring, and that he didn't need anything else.

He couldn't feel Xiao Buyi's pressure on life at all, and he had never been like Xiao Buyi, when he saw a rare piece of ore on the side of the road, he couldn't help but want to pick it up and take it away.

Most of the inside of his storage medicine box was empty—almost all of the sect's disciples were like this, their storage artifacts were never full, but all the things inside were high-quality, or at least usable.

For them, the value of something is not important, it is important to use it or not.

Therefore, killing the disciples of the sect will definitely not be a very cost-effective deal, first, they are too strong to kill, second, they have many teachers and friends and a steady stream of revenge, and third, and most importantly, even if you kill them, you may not be able to get too many benefits.

For example, if someone kills Wu Jie, unless he is killed by surprise, his robes, long knives, invisible swords, and storage medicine boxes will definitely be destroyed in the battle, and the remaining runes and swords are unique magic weapons, and it is useless to take them, and the only ones that can be grabbed are the ghost ring, the sky boots, sunglasses, and bamboo cards.

Stumbling to the death with a hundred refining cultivator for this little thing is definitely not ordinary greed, but greed to the point of brain damage!

The scorching sun quickly fried the eggs, Wu Xie smiled and gave Xiao Buyi two fried eggs, and took two for himself, and then pretended to take out two bamboo tubes of water from the medicine box, one for each person.

In fact, the water in his medicine box has long been drunk, and now he drinks all the spiritual spring water produced in the Heavenly Book World. If it weren't for Xiao Buyi's mind full of thinking about how to find a place of inheritance in this damn desert, he might have discovered the problem a long time ago.

…… No, he would probably put it down to "The treatment of the disciples of the great sect is good!" Even if you drink water, you have to drink spiritual spring water" or something......

This is prejudice, naked prejudice!

Of course, it is impossible to eat two fried eggs, but whether it is Wu Xie or Xiao Buyi, there are Bigu Dan, eating some eggs is just to regulate the mood, the monks are out of the house, you can not bring anything else, Bigu Dan is definitely to bring more.

"I remember when I first started cultivating, I was very depressed, and it wasn't until more than ten years later that I came into contact with Bigu Dan." Xiao Buyi casually threw a fragrant pill into his mouth, and said with emotion, "At that time, I felt that this thing was really amazing, and when I have the ability in the future, I will eat this thing to live!" ”

"Bigu Dan doesn't have any taste except for a fresh fragrance, won't you feel bored eating this all day long?"

"yes, then I ate this every day for about a year, and I ended up eating it and I lost my appetite, and now I feel uncomfortable seeing it."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with Xiao Buyi.

"There are so many interesting things in the life of casual cultivation!" After laughing for a while, Wu Xie said with emotion, "Our life is much more boring, most of the time is spent on cultivation every day, and the rest of the things are rarely paid attention to...... I always feel like a waste of my youth! ”

"Being able to concentrate on cultivation, it's too late for us to envy! The road to immortality is rugged and difficult, one more day of cultivation can give you more hope of soaring, if I can, I really wish I only needed to cultivate every day......" Xiao Buyi shook his head and sighed.

"It's probably the so-called 'siege'. People in the city want to come out, and people outside the city want to go in, and they both think that each other's life is better. Wu Xie sighed with emotion, flew into the air with the sword light, and looked carefully left and right.

As before, nothing special.

"It's impossible to find clues during the day, and it looks pretty much the same everywhere in this damn desert." Xiao Buyi walked to the edge of the cliff, moved those white bones away, and then arranged a defensive formation, "Rest first, and then look for clues against the stars at night." ”

"Didn't you say that the stars and records were wrong and couldn't be found?"

"That's because I haven't thought about the anomaly a few times before - I won't be mistaken this time."

Wu Xie was relieved at this time, walked over and dug a pit, buried the white bones, and cast a steel talisman to make the tomb and the surrounding sand as solid as a rock. He also made a small tablet in front of the tomb, on which was written "Tomb of the Nameless Traveler".

"You don't have to waste mana. People come from heaven and earth, and they will return to heaven and earth after death, so why bother with a tomb? ”

"If I die, I hope at least someone else can build me a tomb. I don't mind helping others to settle down within the limits of my ability. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded secretly and didn't say anything more.

Decent disciples are like this, many times they seem a little pedantic, but when you work with them, this kind of pedantry is especially reliable and cute—they will not blush because you have received benefits, let alone kill for profit. Their words are like nails that are not easily changed, and they are often willing to take risks to pull you when they are in danger.

Therefore, although the scattered cultivators in the world often ridicule these famous and decent disciples for not eating the ancients and being stupid as a cow, when it comes to the real critical time, they are still willing to give priority to believing these stupid people.

For what is the prosperity of the right way in the world? It is because of the efforts of these fools from generation to generation that most of the monks in the world yearn for them.

Xiao Buyi had also met some righteous path disciples before, they were similar to Wu Jie, although they had different personalities, their personalities were trustworthy.

"After I get the true inheritance of Patriarch Li, maybe I should try to find a decent refuge - but then I have to give up my free life......" Xiao Buyi leaned against the stone wall and pretended to rest, secretly thinking in his heart.

At this time, Wu Xie was chatting with Jasmine and Du Ruo, discussing the topic of desert.

"Master, I remember that there are usually special treasures in this kind of desert, why don't you go and find them?"

"Oh? What treasure? ”

"There are so many variety...... For example, if a sandworm can live for more than a thousand years, it will form an inner pill in its body; If it lives for 10,000 years, Naidan will be able to form a Dragon Ball, and it will evolve into a salon......"

Wu Xie ignored Du Ruo's evaluation of "it sounds like it is delicious", and asked calmly: "How big is the sandworm?" ”

"The average sandworm is about as tall as a normal house, about a dozen rooms long. It is estimated that those who live to 1000 years will be four or five times larger, and the salon that lives to 10,000 years will be about ten times the size of ordinary sandworms. ”

"Then it's better not to run into them." Du Ruo, who was full of interest just now, suddenly wilted.

"For what? I remember a senior brother said that the meat of sandworms is delicious. ”

Wu Xie sighed: "I think ...... My meat is probably good for them too......"

"Then let's go find the Flame Heart, we don't need to fight this. As long as you find a volcano that has erupted in the desert, the core of the volcano has been weathered over the years, and that gem occasionally forms. ”

"What's the use of it?"

"The Flame Heart can be used to refine the outer body incarnation of the fire system, and it is a very useful treasure."

“…… What level of supernatural power is the incarnation outside the body? ”

"If you cultivate to the Yin God, you can barely refine this, but it's better to wait until you cultivate the Yang God before refining it, so as not to waste it."

“…… Jasmine, can you say something reliable? ”

"yes, let's talk about something to eat."

"There's something in the desert called the Sand Charm, which likes to imitate human appearance and behavior, and if you pretend to be in distress, they will come to your rescue, and then they will stab you to death - their hearts taste good."

“…… I think it's the bastards who eat them who deserve to be stabbed to death! ”

"The fourth child is right! Why don't you catch those bastards and suck their blood! ”

Time passed little by little, and when it was getting late, Xiao Buyi suddenly stood up and looked around vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" Wu Jie, who was resting under the stone wall, asked in wonder.

Xiao Buyi didn't answer, but lay down and put his ear to the sand to listen carefully.

Wu Xie was about to drive the flying sword to the sky to take a look, but was stopped by him.

After a while, he stood up with a sinking face, and took out the magic weapon for battle with his backhand.

"There are two monks approaching, the reason for which is unknown, we better prepare for a fight with them!"
