Chapter 429: Golden-veined Purple Pupil Scorpion
A few months later, Di Chong's figure had become thinner, his lips had begun to crack, and his face was even more pale and terrifying, but only the pair of eyes were darker and deeper at the same time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Di Chong no longer ran, but instead walked leisurely, and every step he took was very steady.
After a few months, Di Chong's mood has also changed a lot, as if he has washed away the lead, and the edge of leakage has also been reined in.
At this time, Di Chong's divine consciousness and mana also seemed to have disappeared, more like a mortal body, at the beginning Di Chong almost every day needed to swallow a pill to recover his mana, and gradually every three days, until now Di Chong almost took a pill for more than ten days to maintain his life.
During this period, he also experienced several dangers, one night, without warning, a strong wind blew up a sand wall of more than ten feet, and suddenly wanted Di Chong to pounce, an accident, Di Chong was directly blown down by the sand wall, and was buried alive.
Once, he stepped into the air and fell into the quicksand cave, and was sucked straight into the quicksand dozens of zhang deep, but due to the lack of mana, Di Chong could only drill out little by little with his strong body.
In the ordinary desert, there may be occasional oases, but in this peerless desert, Di Chong has never seen a trace of green, let alone the appearance of an oasis.
Suddenly, Di Chong's ears heard a rustling sound, and he immediately became alert, this is not the sound of ordinary sand flowing.
Di Chong suddenly fell to the ground, at this time the position was on top of a sand dune, slowly raised his head to look into the distance, only to see more than a hundred zhang away, there are many "yellow dots" moving rapidly, but these "yellow dots" are much more than ordinary sand grains, and the color is also a little more conspicuous.
"Be careful, that's a demon beast!" Yan Hong reminded in a loud voice.
"Demon beast?" Di Chong was very puzzled in his heart, he had not seen the slightest sign of life in the past few months, how could there be a demon beast? How could this demon beast survive in this absolute desert? For a while, a series of question marks flashed in Di Chong's mind.
In a moment's effort, those demon beasts moved to a place where Di Chong could see clearly, and Di Chong could vaguely feel a trace of spiritual power from their bodies, but they appeared from time to time, as if there were nothing.
I saw that these scorpions had golden patterns on their bodies, and their heads showed some purple light, the largest was no more than two feet in size, and the small ones were only half a foot, but this whole group was estimated to be at least ten thousand, and the scene was extremely shocking.
"This is the golden-veined purple-pupiled scorpion!" Di Chong was shocked when he saw the true face of the scorpion, and almost screamed.
This golden-veined purple pupil scorpion has a great origin, Di Chong has seen records about it in some ancient books, it is said to be a kind of spirit insect that ranks relatively high on the list of strange insects, don't look at its individual strength is not very strong, but once the scorpion group appears, some powerful monks have to retreat.
If you only look at the cultivation, this golden-veined purple pupil scorpion is indeed not strong, as far as Di Chong can perceive at the moment, the strongest is only the cultivation of the middle stage of the second order, and most of them are only the appearance of the middle and middle stage of the first order.
It is said that the body of this insect is extremely strong, and it is difficult to damage it with ordinary magic weapons, and only a few kinds of jade or wood materials can restrain one or two, and these guys are even more brutal and almost invulnerable.
A scorpion swarm as large as this, even if you smash a superb magic weapon, you will be devoured by it in a few moments.
Fortunately, the direction of movement of these scorpion groups was not towards Di Chong's side, which made Di Chong breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to deal with it, once he was discovered by the other party, it is estimated that in this desert, he would have nowhere to hide.
At this time, Di Chong didn't dare to make the slightest movement, and the aura that was almost not revealed was originally revealed, but Di Chong was able to restrain it a few times, which was a little more reassuring.
Di Chong was really puzzled in his heart, didn't he say that this kind of thing had been extinct for tens of thousands of years? How could it appear in this Absolute Spirit Desert, and it seemed that this golden-veined purple pupil scorpion had adapted to the environment here, otherwise it would not have appeared on such a large scale.
Seeing them in such a hurry, it seemed as if something had happened.
Although Di Chong was very curious at this time, what attracted these golden-veined purple-pupiled scorpions to rush towards that side desperately, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only lie quietly on the sand dunes, trying his best to hide.
In less than a cup of tea, Di Chong's ears were filled with a low hissing sound, which was extremely harsh.
Judging from the direction in which this sound came from, it was from the scorpion swarm.
Although Di Chong didn't understand the meaning of these insect chirps, he could roughly tell that these scorpions seemed to have encountered some enemy and were fighting each other, and the scene was very tragic.
Since there was no strong wind in the desert at this time, it was rare to get a quiet weather, so this sound came from hundreds of zhang away, and Di Chong heard it very clearly, and the sound was in his ears.
After entering this Absolute Spirit Desert, not only did Di Chong's divine sense power greatly weaken, but even Yan Hong and Yu'er's perception power also dropped sharply, and they couldn't be perceived from a little distance.
Di Chong carefully hid on the sand dunes, but he didn't want the movement of the golden-veined purple-pupiled scorpion to be calm for a long time, and after a few days, Di Chong saw the scorpion group slowly retreating from not far away, and soon after, it disappeared into the vast sea of sand.
After observing for a while, Di Chong slowly stood up and stared not far away, only to see a strange area in the desert, which was the place where those golden-veined purple-pupil scorpions fought before, leaving a lot of blood stains and corpses.
Immediately, Di Chong's figure flashed and ran towards it, Di Chong wanted to see what kind of demon beast the spirit insect killed with the golden-veined purple pupil scorpion?
It can be seen from the withdrawal of the golden-veined purple-pupiled scorpion just now that the size of the scorpion group at this time seems to be much smaller, which shows that they have suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle.
However, in the blink of an eye, Di Chong came to the battlefield, and to Di Chong's surprise, the blood of these spirit insects seemed to have mutated, and it was no longer so blood-red, but it was a single yellow, mixed with this trace of red.
A foul smell immediately came to his nose, and endured this stench, Di Chong looked forward little by little.
After a long time, Di Chong finally found a relatively complete corpse, this is the corpse of a centipede, which looks to be two or three feet long, and its whole body is orange, but the dense limbs under the abdomen of this centipede seem to be much more than ordinary centipedes.
After taking a closer look, Di Chong couldn't help but gasp.
This turned out to be the legendary thousand-legged yellow wind centipede, and it was also a spirit insect at the top of the list of strange insects, and it was also a spirit insect that had long been extinct in the outside world like the golden-veined purple pupil scorpion, but he didn't want to appear here, and he actually had such a big battle with this golden-veined purple pupil scorpion.
From the remaining corpses, Di Chong could judge that most of the spirit insect corpses were devoured by the other party, and most of the corpses left behind were just some useless stumps, except for a very few relatively intact corpses.
After entering this Absolute Spirit Desert, this was the first time Di Chong encountered the appearance of a living thing, and the appearance of such a terrifying spirit insect shocked Di Chong.
At this time, Di Chong's face also became solemn, it seems that he needs to be cautious in his future trip, otherwise once he encounters such a terrifying existence, his fate is estimated to be similar to these stumps and broken remains, and he will even be devoured.
Thinking about it, Di Chong felt a tingling in his back, and after roughly checking the situation here, Di Chong decided to leave here.
It shouldn't be too far from the nest of these two fierce insects, so it's better to leave early.
It's just that when Di Chong didn't take a few steps just now, he stopped his figure again, turned around and looked at the stumps and broken bones all over the ground, and seemed to have other thoughts in his heart.
The scope of this Absolute Spirit Desert is huge, and according to the vague description on the jade slip of the map I have seen before, although it is not very detailed, just looking at its area, you can know that it seems to be much better than the entire Tianyun Dongzhou.
At his current speed, the estimated itinerary seems to be far from enough, and he may not be able to get out of this vast sea of sand in ten years.
The pills in his storage bag are also very limited, even if he tries his best to control it, I am afraid that he will not be able to support himself to get out of this peerless desert, and he has to imagine other ways to replenish his strength.
Without aura, without elixir, in order to last longer, perhaps only rely on food to replenish energy like mortals.
In the vast sea of sand, I haven't seen a living creature for a long time, where is the food?
And right now, the corpses of these golden-veined purple-eyed scorpions or thousand-legged yellow wind centipedes may be a good choice, although they all emit this foul smell at this time, but a little treatment should be considered good food.
Thinking of this, Di Chong began to get busy, searching around the area, Di Chong searched for the relatively complete corpses, and put them into his storage bag one by one, in case of future emergencies.
After working for an hour or two, Di Chong collected the remains of more than a hundred fierce insects, turned around and adjusted the direction slightly, and continued to disappear into the vast sea of sand.
These fierce insects are not mortal, eight out of ten, nine will be highly poisonous in their bodies, but Di Chong naturally has a way to solve this problem, and there may be some residues after dealing with it, but with Di Chong's physical strength, it should not be difficult to refine these slight toxins.
It was precisely because of this that Di Chong dared to collect these corpses for future food.
In the desert, the time when there is no wind is almost negligible, and there may only be a few days in a year when the wind is calm, Di Chong has just hit the road, and the howling wind blows the yellow sand again.
