Chapter 138: The End
Zhou Xingyu walked alone in the long yellow sand, this was the third day he went deep into the desert, but unfortunately he didn't find anything except some sand scorpions living in the desert, and now he wants to give up, after all, it is not far from the agreed time.
"Are you going to go back like this?"
Zhou Xingyu said to himself unwillingly, missing the fire lingzhi, it is really difficult to find another medicinal material that can neutralize the extreme yin liquid.
Even if the mundane medicinal materials could meet the requirements in quantity, they would inevitably consume a lot of money, which would undoubtedly greatly prolong his refining time, and he didn't want to spend precious time in such a mechanical repetitive process.
"Forget it, go ahead and look for an hour, and if there are no clues, go back and find another way."
With an idea in his heart, Zhou Xingyu raised his steps and walked towards the sand dunes in front of him.
Crossing the sand dunes, Zhou Xingyu stood on the top, looking at the scene in front of him with a pair of eyes in a daze, and couldn't help but feel happy.
He had heard of the mountains and rivers and the village of the bright flowers, but it was the first time he had seen the strange scene in front of him.
I thought that behind the sand dunes, there was still a vast yellow sand, but who knew that it was a completely different scene.
Underneath the dunes is a small oasis with a small hill in the middle of it.
It's a wonderful sight that can't be described in words.
In the midst of a desolate, lifeless desert, a verdant forest comes into view, and from a distance it makes you feel the urge to cry.
Above the oasis, life glows with vigor and vitality under the scorching sun. The scorching storm blows through the forest, the palm trees sway, and the sound is pleasant, like a heavenly sound, making people forget the bitterness of fulfillment. It is also like a dancer soaring on a silent stage, with a graceful posture that makes people unconsciously immersed in it.
Every leaf on the oasis seems to have been carefully carved, green and eye-catching, and it makes people delight from a distance.
Zhou Xingyu let out a sigh of relief, and he walked towards the bottom of the sand dunes with firm steps, if there is really a fire Lingzhi in this desert, then nine times out of ten, it will grow on this oasis.
It didn't take long for him to come to the edge of the oasis, and a strong medicinal fragrance floated down from the hundred-meter-high hill in the middle of the oasis.
"This kind of breath, such an effect, is really the same as recorded in the medical book." Zhou Xingyu was overjoyed in his heart, and after confirming that the fire lingzhi was here, he was about to walk towards the hill, when suddenly, there was a strange sound in his ears.
With a rustling sound, crimson scorpions appeared at the edge of the oasis, their appearance was dark red and almost black, and they were a few points larger than ordinary scorpions, and the scorpions continued to gather, and soon covered the entire ground.
Looking at the dense poisonous insects all over the ground, he subconsciously took a few steps back.
With such a large number of scorpions, it is unlikely that the scorpions of the entire desert have been gathered here.
Zhou Xingyu's heart was full of solemnity.
He looked at the hills in the distance, and then at the group of scorpions that were constantly gathering, the fire lingzhi was in front of him, let him give up, he was really unwilling!
It seemed to see that Zhou Xingyu had no intention of retreating, and the black scorpion group did not wait, but killed Zhou Xingyu in the direction where he was.
Seeing that the scorpion was about to get close, Zhou Xingyu turned over with a harrier and opened up the distance between him and the army of scorpions, he wanted to get the fire Lingzhi in the oasis, these scorpions are a pass that cannot be bypassed, which is destined to only exist on both sides.
With a decision, he waved the long sword in his hand, and under the sword, the sword qi and sword light shot out quickly, sweeping across the ground, and the scorpions along the way were almost evenly divided into upper and lower halves.
I thought that this would be able to stop the other party's attack for a moment, but who knew that these poisonous insects didn't care about the life or death of their companions at all, and rushed towards his location without fear of death.
In desperation, Zhou Xingyu could only get up and retreat, this thing is not easy to mess with at first glance, if he is accidentally stung by them, it must be a very troublesome thing.
He had just stood still, and before he could catch his breath, the army of scorpions had already surged like a tide, and a large area of black pressure was crawling on the desert, heading straight for Zhou Xingyu.
Zhou Xingyu was horrified in his heart, so he could only swing his book sword continuously and temporarily kill those scorpions that were approaching, in exchange for a chance to take a breath.
Looking at the endless army of scorpions that kept pouring out of the oasis, Zhou Xingyu knew that it would definitely not work if it continued like this.
Although this scorpion is small, its toxicity is not weak at a glance, and after a long battle, if you accidentally distract yourself, you may be stung by the other party.
He didn't dare to slack off, his figure couldn't help but retreat, and soon pulled away a long distance.
Looking at the army of scorpions surging in the distance, Zhou Xingyu knew that he couldn't delay any longer. He held the sword in both hands, the long sword slashing star was erected in front of him, the sword wind was cold, stirring from him, countless winds echoed on his side, the clothes and belts fluttered, the momentum on his body continued to rise, and the sky-breaking sword technique in his body was running wildly.
"Sky Breaker, Sword Lan!"
The long sword slashed out the stars, and a storm composed of countless sword qi formed in front of him, like a wind, setting off countless yellow sands, and the surrounding sky was a little darker.
The sword qi storm was extremely fast, attacking in the direction where the scorpion army was.
All the scorpions encountered along the way are turning into powder.
The wind howled, tearing at all creatures that stood in its path.
In the blink of an eye, they were at the edge of the oasis, then their momentum waned, and finally they disappeared.
Zhou Xingyu stood on tiptoe, looking at the scorpion corpses around him that had been cut into countless pieces, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Although Jian Lan is extremely depleting of his internal qi, his power is indeed so strong that it has not changed, and he can easily defeat the enemy every time he uses it, so he has to say that it is powerful.
Standing in place, Zhou Xingyu calmed down his slightly chaotic breathing, and his face began to appear bloody, so he walked towards the hill in the middle of the oasis without hurrying.
He didn't even look at the dead scorpions along the way, although the scorpions were good medicinal materials, but compared to the fire lingzhi, they were nothing, he didn't want to lose a big one, and if he delayed it any longer, maybe something would happen.
Serendipity is always on a first-come, first-served basis, and the first to eat the ashes.
After passing through countless stumps and severed arms, passing by the oasis meadows and the woods at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Xingyu soon came to the edge of the hill.
Looking at the hill in front of him, which was not too high, and smelling the unique medicinal fragrance in the air, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
This return, originally just unintentionally passing by Hongyao Town, take a rest, they will leave, unexpectedly discovered the existence of fire Lingzhi by chance, I have to say a word of providence.
He was about to raise his feet to the top of the mountain, a huge head stretched out from the mountainside, looking at the huge snake head as big as a dustpan, Zhou Xingyu's face turned pale, he didn't care about anything else, his body quickly swept back, and at the same time, a huge heavy sword that was extremely wide appeared in his hand.
Monsters!
There are actually demon beasts guarding next to the fire lingzhi!
Looking at the momentum of his body, he was not weaker than the silver wolf king that Zhou Xingyu had encountered before.
It seemed that Zhou Xingyu's motive had been discovered, but the black snake suddenly increased its speed, like an arrow off the string, and quickly attacked in the direction where Zhou Xingyu was.
One side is a well-prepared attack, and the other side is a passive defense under carelessness, Zhou Xingyu was soon caught up by the demon beast black snake, and the huge snake kiss slammed into the giant sword that Zhou Xingyu used to block.
Boom!
Zhou Xingyu's body was knocked out in an instant, and his body was like a leaf of duckweed constantly rolling on the sand sea.
After the blow was successful, the black snake was not in a hurry to attack, but coiled up its huge body and kept spitting black snake letters at Zhou Xingyu, as if to show sovereignty and force Zhou Xingyu to leave.
After rolling several times in a row, Zhou Xingyu slid his body out of the double sword gravel for several feet, and then stopped castration.
"Poof!"
Spit out the blood in his mouth, Zhou Xingyu wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve indiscriminately, calming the disordered qi in his body, he got up, pulled out his double swords from the ground, and stared at the black snake in the distance with a pair of eyes.
If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly before, he would have been hit by the demon beast black snake like this, and it was estimated that several ribs would have been broken.
It wasn't until this moment that he had a chance to see the other party's appearance clearly, only to see that the black snake's body was huge and abnormal, a pair of eyes were like two lanterns, the scales on the body were distinct, flashing with a ghostly light, and the mouth was spitting out a snake letter as black as ink, and between the mouths, a pair of poisonous fangs were like two simple knives.
It was entrenched in its body at this time, staring at Zhou Xingyu with a pair of cold vertical eyes, looking ready to attack.
Zhou Xingyu knew that the other party was warning him to leave quickly and not to fight the idea of fire lingzhi.
But the elixir is in front of him, how can he give up.
"Today, I can't really say that I want people to die for money, and birds to die for food!"
Zhou Xingyu sighed in his heart.
Although he had already made up his mind to obtain the Fire Lingzhi, he did not act rashly, but waited and watched.
Countless thoughts in my mind quickly turned, thinking about how to kill the black snake, pass safely, and finally pick the fire reishi on the top of the mountain.
For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate, Zhou Xingyu waved the long sword in his hand, he took a deep breath, constantly adjusting his breathing, to adjust his body to the best state before the two sides started the war, a pair of bright eyes full of fine light were staring at the black snake's every move, as long as the other party made a move, he would react quickly.
Seeing that Zhou Xingyu had no intention of retreating, the demon beast Black Snake was impatient.
The black snake suddenly attacked, the speed was like a black lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the open space between the two sides and rushed towards Zhou Xingyu.
Because he had been paying attention to the black snake's actions, almost at the moment when the other party attacked, Zhou Xingyu reacted and swung his sword at the black snake.
The surface of the heavy sword and the star slashing sword flashed with a milky white faint light, and between the electric light and flint, the two came into contact.
The black snake opened its bloody mouth, as if it was about to swallow Zhou Xingyu into its stomach in one bite.
Zhou Xingyu was not far behind, the double swords danced like the wind, forming two silver circles in the air, and instantly collided with the snake teeth of the demon beast black snake.
Bite~
A light metal clash rang out.
In an instant, the twin swords slashed at the snake's fangs several times in succession, followed by a series of sparks bursting out.
This blow was extremely violent, cutting out a huge gap in the huge teeth of the black snake, and Zhou Xingyu's wide heavy sword was also shattered.
Under the pain, the black snake shook its tail and knocked Zhou Xingyu away.
Feeling the not weak blow of the black snake, Zhou Xingyu hurriedly withdrew the giant sword and protected it in front of him.
After a thud, his body was knocked out again.
