Volume 2: Clouds Rise Chapter 126: Distress

The flat sand is vast, the withered artemisia is hot and the bones are buried for thousands of miles, and the only ants are greedy for life.

Occasionally, the wild wind roars away, and there are no reefs to sink into.

The outer edge of the land of right and wrong is an endless desert, the sun during the day scorched the earth mercilessly, and the terrifying heat made the air in the desert stained with a faint layer of red.

A desert storm has just passed, and the yellow sand drifting from nowhere is like a smooth piece of rice paper, quietly spread on the earth. If you haven't experienced a sandstorm, you'll see a beautiful sight.

On the other side of a huge sand dune, because of the leeward break, the sand dunes have become strange concave shapes, very steep. In the steep sand dune pass, a stone mushroom forest rises at the bottom of the slope, like a carved work of art.

Obviously, there is no wind now, and the world is very quiet, but some dirt bags in the stone mushroom forest don't know what is hidden, and the ground is constantly shaking, as if something is about to erupt.

Sure enough, the shaking did not last long, a hand stretched out from the ground, some people fell alone, some two people hid in the same place, in a short time, a dozen people covered in sand and dust, wrapped in animal skins crawled out of the yellow sand, breathing the scorching air.

Although these people all have a little cultivation, the highest is only in the Jietai realm, most of them are only in the Hundred Refining Realm, and there are even one or two people who are only in the Cloud Dao Realm. To survive in this desert is really admirable.

As for why they are still wearing heavy animal skin clothes in such a hot place, just look at their faces that have been burned with countless blisters. In just half an hour, some of the sand had even been embedded in the flesh, apparently due to the high temperature of the sand. If it weren't for the fact that the animal skin they wore was made from the fur of a strange beast in this desert, they might not have been harvested by the storm, and they would have turned into a pair of dry bones in the yellow sand.

Helping each other to get people out of the sand, the men began to pack their bags one by one, and only after they were done did they begin to gather together to deal with the burns on their faces.

Occasionally, someone would extravagantly spit a dusky yellow spit on the ground, which would immediately turn into dust as soon as it hit the ground, and the only proof of its existence was the brief squeak.

For ordinary people, this kind of temperature is enough to make many people retreat, even if these people have cultivation, they are also made miserable, and the death desert is really not worthy of the name.

Of course, not everyone is like this, Xia Ling is the only survivor among these people. She had learned a lot of pharmacology on weekdays, so she had already applied medicine to herself when the storm came, so as to avoid the pain of burns.

But she only had time to take care of herself, and she was buried in the sand, and the others lost this shelter. But even so, those who were injured didn't mean to blame her, after all, for so long, if it weren't for this kind little girl all the way to help, maybe they wouldn't have survived a few people.

No, this girl has just rescued people now, and she is busy shuttling through the crowd to help everyone deal with their wounds.

Feeling the coolness of the ointment applied on their faces, and then smelling the fragrance of the girl's body, many people couldn't help but be intoxicated, and several young guys even had envy in their eyes.

"Xiao Ling'er, take a rest, we're out of the way!"

An older man saw that the little girl was sweating profusely, and he couldn't bear to give advice.

This big man seemed to be the leader, and as soon as he finished speaking, the others also echoed worriedly: "That's right, we big men have rough skin and thick meat, this little injury doesn't matter, you can rest for a while." ”

When Xia Ling heard his words, she raised her little face that was sunburned and oily, the sad look between her eyebrows was replaced by a faint smile, and she smiled and said, "I'm okay Uncle Zheng, you all rest first, and we can only get out of this desert after you take care of your injuries, and now my senior brother doesn't know what to do, he asked me to protect you, and I will definitely do a good job." ”

Thinking of the senior brother in her mouth, these people were silent, and some even subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man who spoke first, that is, Uncle Zheng in Xia Ling's mouth.

After all, if it wasn't for saving him before, Xia Ling's senior brother would not have fought with that monster and was dragged into the sandstorm by the other party.

Thinking of this, these people felt guilty again. The middle-aged man in the lead also said with a firm face: "Xiao Ling'er, don't worry, we will set off immediately after resting, and we will definitely help you get your senior brother back." ”

Having said that, everyone knew in their hearts that although his senior brother was a magical person, the chance of surviving in this death storm was basically zero, not to mention that there was a terrifying monster around him.

These people have been coming to this desert for more than half a month, and originally they were all some casual cultivators outside the desert, and the cousin of one of them heard that they were mixing well in the land of right and wrong, so they were ready to go together to defect. But since they entered the desert, they have been subjected to all kinds of dangers, and they have fled all the way, and by the time they came back to their senses, they were already lost in the desert.

Later, seeing that the ammunition was exhausted, and they encountered fierce beasts again, when they were desperate, the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and Xia Ling's brothers and sisters appeared to save them, and also escorted them all the way for half a month.

I didn't expect to reach my destination now, but I suddenly met a strange person, who was about to commit murder without saying a word, if it weren't for Xia Ling's senior brother's quick reaction, maybe the man surnamed Zheng would have died. Even so, he was scratched by the other party, leaving several deep blood marks on his back.

In order to protect everyone, Xia Ling's senior brother fought with the monster without hesitation, but before there was a winner or loser, the sandstorm suddenly came, and they could only watch their benefactor being swept into the sandstorm and could not do anything.

mentioned the unhappy thing, and suddenly the mood of more than a dozen people was a little heavier, and they didn't even notice the sudden strange atmosphere around them. New book bag network

Fortunately, Xia Ling still had some reason at this time, and suddenly raised her head and looked around, always feeling that something was wrong.

When the others saw his appearance, they were puzzled at first, and then suddenly remembered something, and looked around in the same surprise. After watching it several times, many people found nothing, as if they felt that they were nervous.

However, at this time, a young man who was taking care of him beside the man surnamed Zheng suddenly pointed to a small earthen bag in the distance, and asked with some uncertainty: "Look there, that earthen bag doesn't seem to have it just now!"

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of other people, and more than a dozen people looked at it together, and the more they looked, the more they felt that the place was a little weird, and they didn't care about the injuries on their bodies, these people had already stood up one by one.

It seemed that he knew that he had been discovered, and the dirt bag on the sand dune did not want to hide anymore, and suddenly began to move, quickly approaching like several people.

"Gather together, don't panic, get ready to fight!" The man surnamed Zheng shouted and stood up, in the past half a month, these people have developed a tacit understanding between life and death, and they cooperate very closely with each other, except for Xia Ling, others came to his side as soon as possible, and more than a dozen people gathered together.

"Woo~"

A cry like a child's cry suddenly appeared, and several people subconsciously turned around, and saw two dirt bags also appearing on the sand dunes behind them, quickly approaching their location.

The voice...... It's a hundred sand worms, all go up to the stones!" Xia Ling had seen so much that she could immediately tell what kind of fierce beast this was from her voice, and shouted anxiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately jumped on the stone mushroom together, even if it was hot, they couldn't take care of it, after all, in the past half a month, this little girl had never made a mistake in identifying the fierce beast.

"Xiao Ling'er!"

Seeing that Xia Ling already had an extra small sword in his hand, the man surnamed Zheng suddenly shouted, making Xia Ling look behind him in confusion.

"You go quickly, I know you have a way to escape, we people will only drag you down, thank you for taking care of us all the way, don't care about us now!"

"Uncle Zheng, ...... you" Xia Ling wanted to say something, but she met more than a dozen firm glances, which suddenly made her eyes red.

"I don't, Uncle Zheng, senior brother asked me to protect you, I won't leave, I can't leave you alone!"

"Don't mess around, hurry up, Xiao Ling'er, we people can live to this day thanks to you, and we have no regrets. It's hard for us to deal with one of the sand worms, but now let's have three together, your senior brother is not here, and we can't drag you down anymore. ”

The man surnamed Zheng finished speaking loudly, and the others also responded one by one: "That's right! Xiao Ling'er, go quickly, otherwise it's too late!"

"No, I'm not leaving!" Xia Ling replied with a crying voice, the short shadow on the dwarf stone mushroom, holding the sword at this moment, was very resolute, ready to be the most solid shield in front of these people.

"Woo~"

These people still wanted to say something, but when they heard the strange screams again, the ground shook more violently, and with the yellow sand flying all over the sky, three huge sand worms of hundreds of meters had already drilled out of the ground, forming a triangle to surround them in the middle.

"Wang Gang!" the man surnamed Zheng suddenly shouted in a low voice to the young man who was supporting him beside him.

The young man who was holding him, it was Wang Gang who held the weapon and replied, "Boss Zheng, you say!"

"This seems to be the end of our people, and there is no chance to join your cousin with you. But people can die, but they can't be forgotten, if you go to take Xiao Ling'er away, you must ensure that she escapes. ”

"Boss Zheng, ...... you" Wang Gang's face was reluctant, these lowest-level cultivators had been together for many years, and they were already like relatives to each other, how could they watch others die.

"Hurry up!" The man surnamed Zheng moved his lips fiercely, there were only the two of them on the stone mushroom they were standing on, and the others naturally couldn't hear their whispers.

Wang Gang looked at the girl in front of everyone, and then at the three fierce beasts that were eyeing him, his heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to leave his position and go to the front to take the girl.

At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, causing the two of them to almost fall to the ground.

"Where to go, if you go, you will also die, this little cultivation still dares to run into the desert, I really don't know if you praise your courage or say that you are stupid!"

A few people subconsciously turned around, and saw a strange young man in a black weird costume and short hair had appeared beside them at some point, with a faint smile on his face. And his eyes fell on the man surnamed Zheng, which made the other party a little confused.
