The sand around him seemed to be getting more and more moisture, not only in terms of smell, but also in the slight change in strength when squeezing the sand outward. Chen Xi stopped again, carefully distinguishing for a while, and then re-determined the direction. It's not always easy to choose a wetter spot among the wet sand that looks almost different.

Success will always be more skewed towards people with good minds.

When Chen Xi's ability to squeeze the sand was slightly hindered, Chen Xi immediately stopped. Then I found that the place under my feet had begun to harden, and it was no longer sand, but a lilac crystal, and I couldn't tell what it was. But the shiny one was so beautiful that the little golden dragon was reluctant to move. In its opinion, glittering things are more attractive than good food.

"That's not right. ”

Chen Xi frowned slightly: "This is the depths of the desert, and there is no trace of light, so the light of these amethysts is not reflected." ”

He stretched out his hand and touched it, and his face changed slightly: "It contains a lot of energy, if you are not careful, it will detonate, and it may lift up most of the desert." ”

Lei Jiuyun squatted there and looked at it: "Could it be that the underground river is under this layer of amethyst? But it looks impermeable, how does the humidity come up?"

Chen Xi also squatted down and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the amethyst. Then he noticed that there were still many small holes in the amethyst that looked densely packed, so small that it was difficult to detect. The diameter of these holes is much, much smaller than that of fine grains of sand, so not a single grain of sand leaks through these holes. However, these small holes can expel the water vapor underneath, so the surrounding sand is particularly wet.

"These amethysts seem to be similar to the ones you mentioned. ”

Chen Xi said: "It contains very violent energy, if it is accidentally detonated, as far as the piece we have found now is concerned, it is not difficult to blast all the sand within a radius of a hundred miles into the sky." However, these amethysts are not that substance, because the power of that substance is obviously much greater than these amethysts. ”

Chen Xi's palms exuded an extremely soft force, and he searched deep along those small pores. He didn't know how thick the layers of this amethyst were, and whether it was necessary to penetrate into the underground river.

"What are you doing?"

Lei Jiuyun asked.

Chen Xi said: "Let's see if I can send the power down, if the small hole on the crystal level is not particularly tortuous, I will send the power down to perceive the direction of the water flow of the underground river." If we succeed, we don't have to break this crystal layer. But it doesn't seem to be easy, these holes are not straight."

Before Chen Xi's words were finished, his face changed, and then he withdrew his hand and grabbed Lei Jiuyun, grabbed the little golden dragon and quickly turned around and ran. The power of his cultivation surged forward, squeezing the sand away. Lei Jiuyun and Xiao Jinlong didn't react, and they didn't know why Chen Xi suddenly started running. And it seems that he was shocked and frightened by something.

"There's bugs down there. ”

Chen Xi said as he rushed forward: "The power I sent down was eaten by them. ”

Lei Jiuyun was stunned: "Insects that eat the power of cultivation?"

Before the words fell, where Chen Xi had just stopped, countless purple insects rose from the amethyst level. These flushes are about one-thirtieth the size of mosquitoes, and maybe even smaller. When they came out of the crystal plane, it didn't look like a lot of bugs were flying out at all, but a purple mist floated up.

The speed at which Chen Xi turned around and fled was already fast, but the speed of the insects was even faster. They chased after Chen Xi, and they were constantly closing the distance. If Chen Xi didn't need to be distracted and distracted to squeeze the sand in front of him, he might have done it faster. However, even so, it was only a slight delay in the speed of being caught up by the little flying insects.

"That amethyst layer is insect excrement. ”

Chen Xi's face was already a little pale: "If I'm not mistaken, those insects live by devouring the kind of substance you said." The entire second layer is that substance, what you call the Iron of Destruction. These little flying insects live on the Iron of Destruction, and amethyst is their excrement. So in terms of strength, the power of amethyst is much weaker than that of the Iron of Destruction, and that is because most of the power is eaten by these flying insects. ”

When Lei Jiuyun heard this, his face had already changed: "You mean, those little flying insects chasing after us, each of them has unimaginably powerful destructive power?"

Chen Xi snorted and tried his best to speed up: "They have absorbed the power of the Iron of Destruction, so their bodies are condensed Iron of Destruction. If a piece of iron of destruction the size of a basin can blow up a star like the Tianfu Continent, then the little flying insects chasing behind him are afraid that they can destroy the Tianfu Continent with just one random one.

A flying insect that is only one-thirtieth the size of a mosquito can destroy the Tianfu Continent.

Chen Xi's heart has sunk to the bottom

It was precisely because he felt it that Chen Xi was afraid.

Chen Xi has never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but at this moment he is really a little scared. The appearance of these small flying insects also made him change some of his previous concepts. For cultivators, every little flying insect is a cultivation power that has been condensed to a certain point, although it is small, it is too condensed and ruthless, so the power is outrageous. For the humans of the earth, each of those little flying insects is a terrifying nuclear bomb that can easily destroy the earth.

Although this force is not enough to blow the entire star to pieces, it is enough to wipe out all the creatures that live on the surface of the star.

So in a sense, what Chen Xi and the three of them were chasing behind at this time was not a small flying insect, but countless powerful nuclear bombs. But it's much more terrifying than a nuclear bomb, because these little flying insects are alive, they have lighter and more flexible bodies, and they have their own minds. The main thing is that they are greedy.

For them, the aura on Chen Xi's three bodies, although far less powerful than the Iron of Destruction they usually devoured, was a delicacy that they had never eaten before. The Iron of Destruction is a big fish and a big meat, and they are used to eating it. And Chen Xi is the after-dinner refreshment, which is even more tempting.

Chen Xi and Lei Jiuyun were both extremely nervous, and even their breathing became much heavier.

It was the regret on the face of the little golden dragon, not looking down at the amethyst under his feet and muttering: "You mean you mean such a beautiful thing, it's actually?"

In order to prevent the crystal flying insects from approaching, Chen Xi used all the power to squeeze the sand in front. In order to make it easier to observe, there is only less than twenty meters of space behind him, and then the sand will flow back to block the flying insects. But it was clear that it didn't work at all, and the speed of the little flying insects through the dense and heavy sand did not diminish in the slightest. Blazing light began to glow from their bodies, and the sand around their bodies was completely burned.

Based on common sense, Chen Xi knew that even if the sand encountered an extremely hot mutation, it would turn into crystals instead of disappearing. But the heat emitted by the little flying insect can completely melt the sand into gas, and there is not even a bit of residue left. This is not at all in line with what Chen Xi has learned in the past, so Chen Xi's worries are even stronger.

They can only run now, and there is no other way. Because they don't dare to shoot at the small flying insects chasing behind them at will, once they make a move, a small flying insect is killed, which may trigger a chain reaction. If such a dense number of small flying insects exploded together, the entire Demon Emperor's Tomb might be destroyed. If the Iron of Destruction induces fluctuations, then at least half of the Mo Dome will be destroyed, of course, half of the Mo Dome is only the most conservative estimate.

So now Chen Xi and they are facing that they are being chased and beaten, but they can still fight back, and once they fight back, they will die faster.

"What should I do?"

When Lei Jiuyun asked these three words, his voice was a little crying.

Although she was very powerful, she was so powerful that she surpassed the vast majority of cultivators in this world. But she is still a woman after all, a man who longs for someone to protect her when she is in danger.

"Nature has its laws. ”

While concentrating all his cultivation power to open the way, Chen Xi tried his best to say in a calm tone: "There is no such thing in this world that has no natural enemies, but often where a dangerous thing exists, there is a nemesis of this kind of thing not far away. Let's rush forward as soon as possible, maybe something will be discovered in the next second. ”

But Lei Jiuyun was already on the verge of collapse: "But there is nothing here, sand on top, amethyst below, and an underground river below." There is nothing else here, and these flying insects have no natural predators here. ”

"I saw it!"

Chen Xi suddenly shouted in surprise, and then let go of Lei Jiuyun's hand: "You continue to run forward, I see where the nemesis of those flying insects is, don't stop, run until there is no amethyst at your feet and wait for me." ”

"Chen Xi!"

Lei Jiuyun shouted, only to find that Chen Xi had already rushed out in another direction. At that moment, Lei Jiuyun didn't think of anything, the only hope was that Chen Xi would quickly use the nemesis of the little flying insect to kill those terrifying things. When she saw Chen Xi rushing forward and releasing the power of her cultivation, she suddenly realized that there was no nemesis at all, and it was Chen Xi who used himself to lure the little flying insect away.

Chen Xi had disappeared, because after Chen Xi left, the sand would fall, and the surroundings would be dark.

Lei Jiuyun sat on the ground with his legs weak, and there was a huge grief in his heart that could not be described.

She quickly got up again and wanted to look for Chen Xi, but it was no longer possible. Chen Xi's speed was too fast, and then the sand fell, the dense and heavy sand and a large amount of water vapor blocked Chen Xi's breath, if it was in the outside world, Lei Jiuyun could easily find out which direction Chen Xi went. But under this desert, Lei Jiuyun had no choice.

She stared blankly at the direction in which Chen Xi disappeared, and tears slipped down her face silently. Sometimes crying without a voice is more sad than crying out in sorrow. She seemed to be stupid at this moment, and was sucked away by some kind of force in an instant. She sat down, and suddenly she lost her life.

At the moment when the little flying insect caught up, she was completely confused, and she didn't know how to face it. So at that moment, there was only one thing that came to her mind Chen Xi, how can you protect me.

Now, Chen Xi told her the answer.

This is how I protect you.
