Chapter 44: Parasitic Poison
Not much.
You Qingfeng briefly recounted the situation in the Lost Desert, and then turned to leave.
After listening to the other party's words, Yu Chen didn't think that he and Wu Di could cross the Misty Desert unharmed.
Although the Misty Burial Desert belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty and was located in the westernmost region, in fact, Zhou Qianlong had no intention of managing this area from the beginning.
This area was crowded with bandits and rebels, and almost all the reactionaries who were prominent in the major dynasties ended up in the Lost Desert.
And these dynasties, including Zhou Qianlong, did not want to care about the Lost Desert, but it was because the climate here was too harsh, and the sand and dust swept all day long, covering the sky and the sun, and there were countless poisonous insects and beasts.
Ordinary armies can't last more than a few days in the Misty Desert before they waver, and once a small group enters here, they will be targeted by those bandits and rebels to wipe them out.
The strong people above the grandmaster can't make a move, and most of the innate martial artists are guarding the frontier, or they are the ancestor heads of other family sects, and no one wants to come over.
If you want to say that the team of acquired warriors and great warriors is dispatched, it is not a fugitive without the acquired realm in the Lost Desert.
It is because this area has become a "three-regardless" zone.
But in fact, the reason why the Misty Burial Desert has become a three-regardless zone is actually because there is a poisonous insect called "parasitic poison" here, which is a necessary medicinal material for refining the elixir "Soul Returning Pill".
Soul Returning Pill, as the name suggests, pulls the soul back, and its effect is very amazing, but as long as there is a breath left, as long as you take it, you can pull people back from the ghost gate.
Not only that, the Soul Returning Pill is also very effective for the cultivation of martial artists above the acquired realm, which can make the cultivation of internal force twice the result with half the effort.
However, thousands of toxins in the parasitic body can only refine a soul returning pill, and the parasitic poison itself is very toxic, and the color of the carapace is sandy, so it is not easy to find the parasitic poison.
These bandits and traitors took advantage of this, and continuously handed over poison to the major dynasties in exchange for some prisoner labor and a chance to survive.
Otherwise, if the major dynasties are forced to be in a hurry, and the Grandmaster Strong is directly sent to forcibly suppress it, it will be more than worth the loss.
However, Yu Chen felt that the real danger did not lie in the bandits and traitors of those acquired martial artists, with his true strength, the tough and ordinary acquired martial artists were not a problem at all, and it was a B-level difficulty to survive.
There is definitely something terrifying in this Buried Desert that can make the mission level B.
Thinking about it, Yu Chen turned his head to look at Wu Di and the others, and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, you must follow me closely next, don't fall behind." ”
"This hidden desert is very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness may kill Huangquan."
Hearing Yu Chen's words, Wu Di and the three of them also looked nervous, and nodded solemnly.
The four of them then walked towards the depths of the Lost Desert.
An hour later.
Afterdust looked back again, and there was no way out of sight, proving that they had gone deep into the Lost Desert.
And the unique magnetic field here also began to continuously affect the pointing equipment they brought in, and it suddenly became disorderly and ineffective.
"There are traces of people passing by here, if we can continue along this road, we may run into a human settlement in the Lost Desert, I wonder if you would like to go over, big brother?"
Yu Chen looked down at the faint wheel indentation on the sand and asked.
"Fourth brother, don't worry about doing it boldly, we all follow your choice, we will do whatever you let us do."
Wu Di said with a smile, the combined strength of the three of them is only the level of ordinary martial artists, and in this misty desert, the probability of surviving according to Yu Chen's arrangement is greater.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Yu Chen caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous small sandbag behind Wu Di that seemed to be rapidly approaching, and immediately threw out a flying knife and inserted it into the small sandbag in an instant.
"Squeak——!
A sharp scream suddenly sounded, which frightened Wu Di suddenly, and when he looked back, he saw a small sandbag surging a few steps behind him.
Wu Di took a closer look, only to find out what kind of small sandbag this was, it was clearly a sand-colored poisonous insect!
I saw the green blood slowly flowing from the poisonous insect's body dripping on the sand, and it suddenly made a terrible sound.
"Gollum."
Wu Di couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the poison of this poisonous insect is inevitably too strong, right?
"Big brother, just now this thing wanted to sneak attack you from behind, but fortunately I found it in time."
As he spoke, Yu Chen stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the flying knife, and the resonance technique suddenly exerted force, and the poisonous insect's body was immediately shattered and stopped struggling.
Immediately, he pulled out the flying knife, only to find that the flying knife made of stainless steel had been corroded by the blood of poisonous insects.
"Fourth, this ......" Wu Di's eyes widened, and he looked at the flying knife in Yu Chen's hand in shock.
How poisonous is this poisonous insect so strong? Can even steel corrode?
"This poisonous insect should be the poison in You Qingfeng's mouth, I didn't expect that the hidden kung fu is really strong, if it weren't for my casual glance, it is really possible to be succeeded by this guy."
Yu Chen looked the parasitic poison up and down and spoke.
This poisonous insect has a very special structure, with a tail similar to that of a scorpion, but connected to a venom sac in the body.
Not only that, but the parasite also has two jagged, crab-like pincers with a metallic sheen.
Yu Chen tried to hit the pair of pincers with a throwing knife, and suddenly made a metallic sound, which was very crisp.
"What a strange poisonous insect, the Creator is amazing." He couldn't help but sigh.
Eight stout and powerful ones with a thick and solid deck on their originally soft abdomen, almost all of their carapaces with a metallic texture, equipped with poison sacs that store venom and serrated pliers that tear through the body's surface defenses.
This parasitic poison is simply a natural assassin.
The poison sac should be the material for refining the Soul Returning Pill, so let's bring it...... Yu Chen thought secretly in his heart.
He could probably guess that the poison-parasitic sac was most likely a trading currency in the Buried Desert, and that this valuable thing would most easily become a general equivalent.
Putting the poison sac into the storage space, Yu Chen took Wu Di and the three of them to continue on their way.
It's just that the four of them walked for two hours, but they never saw any trace of the human gathering place, and the previous wheel track was also buried by the wind and sand.
Even Yu Chen began to wonder if he had gone in the wrong direction, otherwise he would not have walked for three hours, and he didn't even see half a figure.
But just as they were about to turn around, they suddenly heard a small noise in their ears.
Yu Chen's face suddenly turned happy.
"There is a voice from the west! Keep up! ”
