In the warm col in the ice and snow, Duan Qing had already cleaned the wounds, connected the dislocation, and fixed the two fractures with wooden bars, this place was very dangerous, and people could come at any time, but he had to stay for a day, waiting for the injury to recover a little bit, to prevent deterioration, before he could continue to move on to the next step.

Fortunately, Duan Qing stayed in place for three days, most of his injuries had recovered, and there was still no one coming, so he no longer had the idea of luck, cast the last life-saving Baili talisman, and left this place.

It was still cold here, and Duan Qing, who had exhausted the rune paper, began to collect materials, refining it into pulp with the Dan furnace, and making a few rough rune papers, the effect was not very good, but fortunately, it was not used for other purposes, and it was directly made into ten miles of runes, and then continued to move forward, and waited until the next location, continued to collect materials, and so on.

For a month, Duan Qing's sight was an endless desert, and the air was hot and dry, which made people upset, but this was a place that Duan Qing liked very much, because the desert is easy to hide footprints, and the places where he walked did not take a moment, maybe it was just a very inconspicuous wind, and the traces could be completely buried.

He didn't really like this kind of place, but he couldn't help it, if he wanted to live, he had to do that.

After another three days, exhausted all the spells, Duan Qing finally found an oasis that was only a hundred zhang long, but it gave birth to countless lives and maintained the ecological balance.

However, Duan Qing soon discovered a rule, whether it is an animal or an insect, in this oasis, they just ask for clear water, and there will be no stay, and it didn't take long for Duan Qing to completely understand that this oasis is like a post station, attracting too many creatures, not only will there be weak animals passing by, but also powerful hunters will come and go.

But there is no real powerhouse among them, and many times, the process of one thing descending one thing to another is being staged, which has benefited Duan Qing a lot.

He drank a full water, rinsed himself comfortably, filled the water hyacinth in the storage bag, and then chose a direction to head deeper into the desert.

"Woo——!"

The storm came as soon as it was said, without giving Duan Qing the slightest time to prepare, the wind was rolling in the fine sand, making people unable to open their eyes, unable to open their mouths, and not even daring to breathe, fortunately, he had seen the deeds related to the survival of the desert in the book, and immediately began to copy them step by step.

He first ran between several sand dunes, coiled himself like a camel to avoid being swept away by the storm, and then when the sand fell more, his body moved, and pressed the sand under him, and he himself became a little higher, and so on for a long time, he was almost as high as several sand dunes, but fortunately, the storm had passed, and the sky became endless blue again.

It's just that the oasis is gone, and he looks left and right, but he can't even confirm the direction, and in the end he can only sigh at the magical power of nature and turn away.

In addition to the heat, the desert is hot, dry hot!

Even the lizard was so hot that he lifted two *** to take advantage of the coolness.

Duan Qing finally found a large sand dune, built a small pergola with swords and clothes, etc., and dug a big pit in the sand under him, which was five feet deep, and it was still dry sand, but the temperature was finally acceptable, and he felt extremely cool and sweet when he drank the hot water in the water hyacinth.

Even the famous sweet well in Fengdu City is much, much inferior.

It was getting dark, Duan Qing endured his dry mouth and put the water hyacinth up, he couldn't be sure where the next oasis would be, so these water energy savings had to be saved, and he didn't even want to pee.

Duan Qing continued to walk, walking cautiously, he knew that the dark sky in the desert was the day in other places, and everything that could be moved was doing everything that could be done during this time period.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the lack of aura in the general environment, there are no powerful creatures in the books here, only some gadgets like lizards and snakes, Duan Qing didn't waste it, he put it away, peeled off the snake skin completely, kept the urine in it, and continued to move forward.

Then, when the sun was just rising, he determined the direction, made a mark, and then found a place to rest again, waiting for it to get dark.

For such a month, Duan Qing didn't know if he had walked into the hinterland of the desert or wandered on the edge, but the good news was that he found the oasis again, although there were no tall trees in the oasis before, only rare plants, but where could he manage so much, almost rushing into the water, lying in it and not wanting to come out again.

In fact, he didn't realize it himself, after such a hard work, his realm had reached the ninefold peak of the foundation building period, and it only took a small opportunity to enter the tenth level of the foundation building period.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, Duan Qing seemed to notice something strange, he suddenly raised his head, looked around, and found that the wild camel drinking by the water also raised his head blankly, as if he had found something abnormal.

Duan Qing's five senses were released in an instant, everything within a radius of thirty zhang directly filled his mind, and his consciousness immediately began to distinguish, but there was no existence that could make his consciousness feel the crisis, Duan Qing couldn't help but be a little stunned, suddenly those wild camels turned around and ran, panicked, Duan Qing's heart trembled, and he turned back suddenly, and an object floated up, it was a piece of wood about three zhang...

Duan Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, raised his hand and knocked it, "Hmm, why does this sound like a stone?" While he was puzzled, he knocked on his hand again, "Knock knock..."

It's really a stone, but it can float on the water, is it a fossilized wood as mentioned in the book?

Even if it's a fossil wood, it's supposed to be submerged, right?

"Click! click..."

Suddenly, a crack appeared, and Duan Qing's body instantly showed a defensive momentum, and a dagger in his right hand was already in the palm of his hand.

The crack is expanding, revealing the dark green object inside, I don't know what it is, but it's turning into a cocoon and wriggling like a butterfly!

"Give me death!" Duan Qing didn't care what he was, he immediately swung the dagger and stabbed into the crack, but the sharp sharp edge of the dagger was as difficult to move forward as if it had stabbed a cooked cowhide, Duan Qing held the handle of the knife with both hands, and stabbed down with all his strength: "Poof!"

Finally stabbed in, then pulled out, poked in again, there was a splash of plasma, the object in it seemed to feel the danger, the squirming was more violent, almost three or two, and with a click, the eggshell-like stone layer on the surface was shattered, although it was in the water, but the sticky liquid on the surface was still hanging on the body, and it turned out to be a... Alligator?

Duan Qing has never seen a real crocodile, he has only seen it in a book, but what is recorded on it is only "about five or six feet long, good at lurking, and attacking creatures for a living", this guy is more than three zhang long, is this stone layer really an eggshell?

"Roar!" didn't give Duan Qing much time to think, the big guy immediately opened his huge mouth that was three feet long and pounced, the five-inch-long huge teeth flashed with cold light, Duan Qing suddenly exerted force under his feet, dodged to the side, the big crocodile bit the air, but he didn't expect it to swing its head sharply sideways without the slightest hesitation, Duan Qing's figure dodged backwards again, and at the same time the dagger stabbed forward.

"Poof!" The dagger pierced into the corner of the big crocodile's eye without hindrance, and the eyes, which were bigger than a goose egg, suddenly flowed with liquid, and under the pain, the big crocodile turned over and hid underwater.

It's just that at this time, the sand under the water can't hide this dark green big guy at all, Duan Qing was already hungry and thirsty before entering the desert, at this time this big guy is a hearty dinner in his eyes, not to mention that he has hit it twice in succession, dived into the water at the moment, climbed onto the crocodile's back with a few slammed kicks, reached out and pulled out the dagger in the corner of his eye, and stabbed it at its soft abdomen...

"Puff puff..."

There was a lot of red in the water, and in desperation, the big crocodile finally launched its deadly attack - death rolling!

Duan Qing just hugged the crocodile, even if his back hit the bottom of the water, he didn't let go, but after three laps, the big crocodile couldn't turn over, Duan Qing moved his hands and feet, cut off the crocodile's head, and dragged the crocodile body that was still a little reactive to the shore.

Touching the thick crocodile skin, Duan Qing's heart moved, and then he began to peel the skin skillfully, and found that the crocodile's stomach was empty, but judging from the huge teeth, this was definitely not just hatched, don't think about it anymore, light a fire, barbecue, and the fragrance will waft in a moment, and when you take a bite, the chicken smells like it, and it is crunchy.

After eating and drinking, Duan Qing suddenly remembered that this crocodile must not have just hatched, probably a long time ago, it was still a waterhole, and then it gradually dried up, and the crocodiles that did not migrate had the mud of the waterhole to wrap themselves, and after storing some water, they entered a dormant period.

Maybe it was the sandstorm some time ago, which buried a lot of oases, but the water can't be buried, it will only come out in some low-lying places, so there is this newly formed waterhole, and this crocodile finally encountered the water again, the long dormancy period is over, and the process of recovering vitality begins.

"Well, that's about it. Duan Qing ate the barbecue, and cut the crocodile meat into thin slices, roasted and dried them, and made them into jerky, which can be regarded as a reserve of food.

As for the crocodile skin, Duan Qing planned to use it, it was already difficult to find materials to make rune paper here, try if the crocodile skin was okay, and then spread it on the fine sand, steamed it dry, and cut it into small pieces, planning to test it.

But at this moment, on the surface of the water, one after another floated up one after another, just like before, and in a moment it was densely filled...

Duan Qing immediately packed up the crocodile skin, picked up most of the remaining crocodiles, turned around and ran.

Although a crocodile was very easy to deal with, Duan Qing also felt the terrifying power of the crocodile, if so many people came together, where would there be a chance to hunt.

Anyway, he is also on the run, as long as he is not found before the Jindan period, even if the task is completed, he will simply continue to run in this direction.
