Chapter Twenty-Five: Wandering Earthworms
Cheng Ming felt that it was quite tricky, if he really guessed it, there was a great ability to cover up the heavens, and it was such a hexagram, the enemy was likely to want to kill them all.
If this is the case, it is safer to stay in the Mujin Desert, but the question is whether it is possible for me to stay here? Even if I don't feel aggrieved, in order to let my parents heal their internal injuries as soon as possible, I must fight.
Besides, if you fight, the hexagram will undergo some changes, and it may change from evil to good, and if you resign yourself to fate here, it may be even more dangerous.
After making up his mind, Cheng Ming headed towards the east.
This Mujin Desert is indeed worthy of being one of the most famous places in Xiaoqing Realm, as far as the eye can see, vast and boundless, Cheng Ming used the escape technique to walk for three days, but the result is still yellow sand all over the ground, except for the shape of the sand dunes, everything else is not much different.
During this period, Cheng Ming also encountered the Mu Jinsha dust storm, and the situation was really overwhelming, as if the sky had fallen. Cheng Ming didn't dare to touch the momentum alone, let alone the countless sharp and hard metal particles mixed in it.
There was no way, Cheng Ming had to hide underground.
However, this Mujin Desert is also strange, such a big sandstorm, after it stopped, the terrain did not change at all, and the sand dunes were still what they were before, as if the sandstorm was just an illusion.
For this reason, Cheng Ming also experimented, but as soon as he came into contact with the sandstorm, the protective shield of the magic weapon was almost broken, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly launched the escape technique to escape for his life.
And just like that, another three days passed, and the situation did not change at all. Cheng Ming couldn't help but feel a little upset and irritable.
Cheng Ming couldn't help but curse a few words, and said in his heart: "Go on like this." When is it going to go?"
At this time, an idea suddenly occurred in his heart. He asked, "System, will we be caught in a formation?"
"There is no sign of this. ”
"Then why can't you get out all the time, no matter how good this little Qing Realm is, it's just a secret realm, how can it be so big?"
The system said: "The situation here is a bit special, it should be composed of several superimposed spaces. And the location of the space changes over time. ”
"Is there such a space?" Cheng Ming was surprised, but after thinking about it again, he felt that this was reasonable, otherwise. Why does the environment of this little Qingjing change every time?
"There are no wonders in the world. ”
"And how am I supposed to get out of here?"
"In two ways, breaking the barriers of the world, or going to the boundary of this world, will naturally teleport to other dimensions. ”
Cheng Ming was speechless when he heard this, if he had the ability to break the barriers of the world, why would he come to Xiaoqingjing?
However, the system mentioned breaking the barrier of the world, which reminded him of a way to go into the air and take a look.
To say, the reason why Cheng Ming didn't think of this idea just now. That's because Lao Liu Tou had told him before that he must not fly into the air in Xiaoqingjing, otherwise he will be noticed by powerful demon beasts, and if he doesn't do it, he will die.
Because of this. He didn't use a flying sword or go to the air to observe.
After thinking about it, in the past six days, I haven't even encountered a living thing. It is impossible to imagine any powerful demon beasts. So, Cheng Ming stepped on the flying sword and flew into the air.
It's just that. What Cheng Ming didn't expect was that this piece of heaven and earth could only fly 100 meters high. Further up, there is an invisible barrier hindering his ascent, and the higher he goes, the greater the pressure, and the gains outweigh the losses.
For Cheng Ming, if he can't get on, he can't go up, anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his progress.
After flying like this for an hour, the system suddenly warned: "Hide!"
Cheng Ming didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly turned around and avoided it, and saw a yellow light flying by his side, followed by a "horn" sound, which spread out not far in front of him, and a piece of sand and stone roared in.
Cheng Ming hurriedly propped up the defensive cover, but he was shocked, the sand and stone fell up, and there was a "sizzle" corrosion sound, accompanied by a burst of green smoke, which corroded most of the defensive cover. Just do it again, not to mention the broken defensive shield, he will definitely be injured too.
At this time, Cheng Ming noticed that it was a giant earthworm with a foot of twenty or thirty zhang that sent out this blow, and the color of this earthworm and sand is the same, if you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all.
"Damn, it's a wandering earthworm!"
Cheng Ming scolded angrily, made a decision immediately, and injected a large amount of true qi into the flying sword, fleeing into the distance like a star gallop.
No wonder he was so nervous, it was really that this wandering earthworm was already a fifth-order demon beast, which was equivalent to the strength of a Jindan real person, plus it was born with the ability to hide in the sand, so the system would only find it at such a close distance.
The reason why this earthworm is so powerful is that it has a natural ability to erode sand, which is said to melt all things. And once it gets on the body, it is like imposing a heavy object, and it can be superimposed. And this kind of magical power can only disappear if you kill the earthworm, and if you really want to get involved, it will be a big trouble.
Fortunately, there was a systematic reminder just now, and he dodged in time, and the blow just now was not a swimming earthworm, so he should not have used all his strength, otherwise, it would have broken his defense and injured him.
Seeing that Cheng Ming had dodged its attack, the earthworm seemed to be very angry, and made a sizzling sound in its mouth, and then sent another blow towards Cheng Ming, but it missed again, only hitting Cheng Ming's phantom.
This made the earthworm even more angry, turned into a swimming dragon swimming in the sand sea, and chased after Cheng Ming.
One man and one beast escaped for two hours, seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Cheng Ming cried out in his heart, and said in his heart: "Didn't you say that the weakness of the earthworm is speed? How can it be so fast!"
It's just that when he thought about it, he forgot that this earthworm was a fifth-order demon beast, and even if speed was its weakness, it could be compensated for by its level.
"Kara!"
Cheng Ming smiled bitterly, it was really a disaster, the flying sword under his feet actually cracked due to long-term overload. There was no way, he could only change to a flying sword, but in this way, the distance between the two was much closer.
After chasing for a while, I saw that the position of the earthworm near its head suddenly bulged, and then. I saw its large mouth full of sharp teeth, and a yellow light erupted from it.
The speed of the thing was extraordinary. Before Cheng Ming could react, he went behind him.
Cheng Ming couldn't. I had to put up a defensive shield, and I used a thick earth talisman for myself, etc., and all the defensive means that could be used were used.
But as soon as the yellow light came into contact, the outer layer of the defensive shield was the first to be defeated, and then, the yellow light dispersed, and those sand and stones with a strong corrosive effect fell on Cheng Ming's body, sizzling, in the blink of an eye. As soon as the means dissipated, those sand stones were about to act on Cheng Ming's body.
Cheng Ming was taken aback, he didn't expect that the talent of the earthworm was so powerful, if it hit his body, and there was an earthworm staring at him, the chance of escaping and ascending to heaven was really slim.
He was also decisive, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the figure flashed, and it was a mile away. After flickering a few more times, it was completely gone.
Cheng Ming's reaction was beyond the expectations of the earthworm, and after another sense, Cheng Ming was completely gone. This made this wandering earthworm open its bloody mouth. Let out a silent roar, and then wreak havoc on the sand before turning away.
Cheng Ming ran out of a hundred miles in one breath before stopping. Actually, he wanted to run a little more. But the sandstorm in front of him swept in, and he could only stop and dive into the sand.
Hurriedly used a thick earth talisman for himself. Cheng Ming spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood one after another, at this time, he was deeply weak, his internal organs were like knives, and what was more serious was that he couldn't carry his true qi at all now, otherwise it would cause irreparable results.
And all of this is the sequelae of his use of Burning Blood.
As soon as you hear the name, you will know that it is a magical power used to save your life, and this magical power is at the cost of the essence and blood in the body, and it can escape hundreds or even thousands of miles within five breaths, and the distance depends on the user's cultivation.
Like Cheng Ming at this time, he escaped for a maximum of two hundred miles, but the farther the distance, the greater the burden on the body. And because this method consumes essence blood, even if Cheng Ming can use the system to treat injuries, he will not be able to mobilize his true qi for at least a week, otherwise it will consume his lifespan.
It took two parts of spiritual energy to heal the injuries of the body, Cheng Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, this trip to the secret realm was too unlucky, he met someone to cover up the heavens, not to mention, so far there is no gain at all, and now he has met the earthworm again, and he was forced to use the burning blood escape that he had just learned for a long time, causing him to not be able to use the true qi.
Fortunately, he still has the power of qi and blood and the wind talisman to use, otherwise he can only stay here, which will be too delayed.
When the sandstorm passed, Cheng Ming began to hurry, of course, much slower than before. He walked forward like this for another two days, but fortunately, during this time, he did not encounter a powerful demon beast like the earthworm, and in addition, in his divine thoughts, there were already dots of greenery, which was really good news.
"Isn't this considered bitterness?" Cheng Ming smiled, and then he thought again: "By the way, if I hadn't flown at the time, wouldn't I have met that earthworm?"
Shaking his head, anyway, things had already happened, and it was no different to think about it, so he walked towards the east. It was only half an hour after walking that he suddenly felt the fluctuations of the battle coming from ahead.
On both sides of the battle, one side has more people, more than a dozen, and the other side has only four or five, and at this time, the side with more people is chasing the side with fewer people.
At first, he wondered why the system didn't remind him, but then he thought that it should be another space in the past, and it was normal for the system not to sense it.
Considering his current state, Cheng Ming didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly used a wind talisman for himself and started to run away, complaining in his heart: "Who am I recruiting to provoke whom!"
But what made him feel very depressed was that the side being chased and killed actually scattered in all directions, and one of them was rushing in the direction of his escape, and he didn't know if he also had something like the Wind Talisman in his hand, and the speed was not much different from him at this time.
And what made him feel even more unlucky was that it was noon again, and it was the time when the sandstorm came, and he had no earth escape charm in his hand, so he could only stay where he was and wait for the sandstorm to pass.
"It's really a disaster!" Cheng Ming sighed, and could only honestly wait for the sandstorm to pass.
Finally waiting for the sandstorm to pass, Cheng Ming hurriedly came out of the sand, and was about to cast a wind talisman on himself when he suddenly heard a majestic voice in the air.
"Forbidden Heaven and Earth!"
Suddenly, Cheng Ming saw a translucent dome rising within a radius of fifty miles, needless to say, it must be this forbidden heaven and earth supernatural power.
At this time, another voice full of anger came: "Griffin, in order to kill me, you are willing to pay the price of fifty years of your life, good! This is really good! I swear, in my lifetime, I will destroy all of you so-called Protoss!"
"Haha, Li Yuankai, it's time for you to say such big things, let me send you to hell first, and then let all the people of your Li family come to reunite with you one by one!"
"Hmph!
"Boom!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw that more than ten miles to the right of Cheng Ming, a huge explosion came, and then there was a sky-high flame, and the situation was like a battle of the foundation monks, and the momentum was huge.
"Protoss?"
Cheng Ming didn't care about the outcome of this battle, but the appearance of the Protoss made him stunned at the same time, and he immediately reacted, it seems that the previous changes must have been caused by this Protoss.
It's just that the Protoss has eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and they dare to do this kind of thing blatantly, are they planning to declare war with the warriors?
"No, if it's just the Protoss, they shouldn't dare to do this, it's likely that the Demon Clan is also involved!"
But this is not the time to think about this, Cheng Ming hurriedly asked: "System, is there a way for you to get out of this supernatural power?"
"Unless you use True Qi, there is no way at all!"
Although this had been expected for a long time, the system's answer still made Cheng Ming's face uncertain, and after half a sound, he asked again: "If I use my true qi now, how much Shouyuan will I lose?"
"About fifty years. ”
Hearing this answer, Cheng Ming showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Originally, he would break through to the foundation building period within a year at most, and he would have a life span of three hundred years by then. But if he has reduced his lifespan by fifty years now, even if he breaks through to the foundation building period, he will only have a lifespan of one hundred and fifty years, and when he reaches the Jindan period, he will only have a lifespan of three hundred years, and so on, only if he breaks through the Yang God stage will he return to normal.
In this case, what kind of mood will Cheng Ming have?
At this time, suddenly a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy ran over, stopped at a position of 100 meters in front of Cheng Ming, and laughed: "Boy, I finally found you!"
Cheng Ming slowly turned his head and said with a gloomy face: "We know each other?" (to be continued......)
