Chapter 438: The Trek

This water vapor is the key to Xu Yunshu's ability to cross from the Dream Forest to the desert, but it also seems to be one of the means by which desert creatures rely to survive.

The fur on his body is burning and hurting, and if it is half a minute later, Xu Yunshu is afraid that he will be seriously injured on the spot and lose his ability to move.

Faced with this situation, he naturally chose the strongest move he could think of in his arsenal, which was his enhancement potential.

Xu Yunshu retracted the membrane that supported his body to glide, and while his entire body was still gliding in the air, his tail swelled, forming a long rope, and threw it at one of the burrowing centipedes with the greatest strength.

These centipedes that were enjoying the rain from the sky did not have any awareness of dodging at all, and Xu Yunshu's tail easily rolled around one of them, and because he grasped the point of strength, his body froze in the air.

Subsequently, Xu Yunshu immediately canceled the strengthening of the tail, and the white tail wrapped around the centipede's head instantly returned to its original state, and also pulled his white wolf body closer to the centipede's side.

Facing this huge centipede, Xu Yunshu did not have the slightest politeness.

He opened his mouth and plunged his sharp teeth into the centipede's hard armor, and in an instant the brown and green mixed slime burst out.

This desert burrowing centipede was obviously very painful, but it had no way to take Xu Yunshu.

When he observed the centipede, Xu Yunshu had already classified the creature and made a rough comparison.

Predators have a natural instinct and can quickly determine whether a creature they encounter is prey or a predator.

Unfortunately, these centipedes were classified as food by Xu Yunshu.

The brown-green mucus was unexpectedly not unpleasant, perhaps because of Xu Yunshu's white wolf body, all in all, it was a good replenishment of the water that he had evaporated from sun exposure.

In view of this, Xu Yunshu attacked again and killed the nearby centipede individuals with the power of thunder.

It was only at this time that the rest of the centipede individuals noticed the arrival of the uninvited guest, and they all retracted their blooming mouthparts, no longer receiving rain and dew, and fled backwards back into the tunnel they had dug up.

Xu Yunshu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

His goal wasn't hunting.

After solving the three desert centipedes, Xu Yunshu did not hesitate, and immediately kicked and shaved his feet, disemboweling the three centipedes, and the mucus that flowed out was also drunk to the ground.

In the desert, these things are a precious source of water and should not be missed.

After doing all this, Xu Yunshu drilled into the hole dug by the centipedes, although the predation level of these centipedes was not too high, but the body was still huge, when Xu Yunshu drilled in, only a little force, and the whole body sank into the cave.

But that's all there is to it.

Although the body was stuck in the sand and tunnels to avoid direct sunlight, and the desert centipedes also drilled many passable tunnels underground, Xu Yunshu's body was too large and was completely stuck at the entrance of the cave, and he could not enter an inch.

There are two options in front of him right now.

Harness the power of potential to make your body specialize in order to get the opportunity to burrow into the ground, and explore step by step until you find new opportunities.

This option is good, but it has an Achilles' heel:

These tunnels don't know where they lead.

According to the body shape of these centipedes, it is possible that Xu Yunshu must always maintain a specific body, so that it is possible to reach a dead end from which there is no turning back while continuing to lose energy.

That would be dangerous.

This road is not working.

But it doesn't matter.

Xu Yunshu has a second way to go.

This route was what he thought of in a flash of inspiration.

As he jumped into the desert from the passage of the water mist, Xu Yunshu's additional eyes saw the desert centipede that was taking in the rain.

At that time, Xu Yunshu's body was suffering from sun exposure and dehydration, which were two extremes compared to the desert centipede that comfortably absorbed water.

But it also gave him some degree of inspiration.

Looking around, Xu Yunshu couldn't see any other creatures except this desert centipede, if this was the case, then it also showed that the centipede he hunted could emerge and survive in the daytime and under the scorching sun.

He quickly stared at the remaining cuticle shell after being hollowed out.

Xu Yunshu tore off a cuticle shell with his teeth and chewed it carefully, the brittle and tough shell made a cracking sound in his mouth.

The power of potential is reactivated.

With these shells as a reference, Xu Yunshu can easily imitate them.

After making sufficient preparations, he retreated slightly into the hole that the centipede had burrowed, exposing his tail to direct sunlight on the surface.

While being exposed to the sun, Xu Yunshu also began his own transformation process.

In addition to his hair, two tan cuticles are formed, which grow from small to large, and finally merge together to protect the entire tail.

Xu Yunshu immediately noticed the difference from before.

The tail is no longer a burning pain, but a deep, stuffy feeling.

It's just as uncomfortable, but it's enduring.

Xu Yunshu had a bottom in his heart, and began to slowly move his body outward, retreating from the entrance of the cave, while constantly generating a stratum corneum that insulates heat.

When he evacuated from the cave with his whole wolf, a strange-looking creature appeared in the desert.

A bizarre monster that walks on four legs in the skin of a centipede.

When he stood in the scorching sunlight again, Xu Yunshu could finally breathe with peace of mind.

But he still can't take it lightly, judging from the heat conduction speed on the thermal insulation stratum corneum, if he continues to stand in this terrible sun, Xu Yunshu will be completely roasted sooner or later.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xu Yunshu really didn't believe that this desert would produce creatures.

The sudden rainstorm was about to die down, and he could barely see the shadow of the Dream Forest in the mist, but in the next second, the connection between the two sides was completely severed.

Xu Yunshu guessed that if he wanted to return to the Dream Forest, he would probably have to return to this place and wait for the mist and torrential rain to fall again.

Based on the feeding frequency of the huge apex predator, the rock creature, Xu Yunshu guessed that this water mist passage connecting the Dream Forest and the desert was very likely to appear every other day or two - of course, if someone in the Dream Forest was willing to take the initiative to feed it, this rock creature would not be stingy to open the passage a few more times.

After having a way out, Xu Yunshu's heart was not as worried as before.

He glanced around, making out the direction.

Beyond the endless rolling sand dunes, there should be a lot of things that Xu Yunshu is interested in.

In order not to get lost, he turned on the mind-enhancing mode, remembering all the details of the terrain along the way.

After trekking forward like this for a long time, Xu Yunshu suddenly realized that there were two unexpected situations that had happened.
