Chapter 348 Highly Poisonous Sand Scorpion
The wilderness is indeed very dangerous, with spirit beasts everywhere, and powerful spirit beasts are sometimes there, which makes people unable to defend against it.
Fortunately, Jin Sheng, an experienced demon hunter, is often able to avoid some particularly powerful spirit beasts or dangerous places. Occasionally, a few of them can't escape. The three attack together. Nanfeng Zeyu and Jin Sheng attack with martial arts power, and Qin Ye hides in the dark with the power of the soul. The combination is very easy to deal with wild beasts with generally low intelligence.
So I didn't encounter any strong winds and waves along the way. I passed through the sea plains, wind swamps and Tagan desert without danger. In the third month, I was already close to the Grand Canyon where the Tumo people lived.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, and sometimes there are bad weather such as hurricanes. Coupled with strange poisonous spirit beasts such as sand scorpions, Qin Ye and the three of them are quite strong, and they are almost tortured to death.
In front is a sand dune with a height of more than 1,000 meters. From a distance, it looks like an embankment that can't see the edges. It extends in the endless desert in both directions, blocking the endless yellow sand outside the embankment.
Jin Sheng's whole body has lost a circle of weight. Even as a warrior in the top of the world, he can't stand this long journey, not to mention the torture of various harsh environments. His nerves are tightly tense at every moment and he dares not relax at all.
It was only at this time that Jin Sheng's nerves were slightly relaxed. He pointed to the yellow sand embankment and said, "Little gentleman, turn over this yellow sand embankment and walk another hundred miles to the canyon of the Tumo people. Green life can be seen on the other side of this embankment, and these poisonous beasts in the desert will never climb to the other end of the embankment.
Qin Ye and Nanfeng Zeyu's expression was greatly shaken. Nanfeng Zeyu asked, "This embankment also seems to be naturally formed by yellow sand. There is nothing surprising. Why don't sand scorpions and other poisonous things dare to climb over it?"
Jin Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. The road in this wilderness is all taken out step by step by the predecessors of the demon hunter. The deeds of this yellow sand embankment are also the conclusion they reached after many investigations. As for why these phenomena occur, few people are interested in it."
Nan Fengzeyu was a little disappointed, but Qin Ye didn't think so much in his heart. In the world of practitioners, practice alone is enough to make people exhaust their minds for a lifetime. How can they have time to do this kind of academic research?
Even if you are a martial artist, as long as you don't encounter strange phenomena that are helpful to alchemy, refinery and other skills, you will not waste time on these messy things.
"Major Jin, since the Yellow Embankment is a pure land, let's not delay. Let's go over this embankment first." Qin Ye was very eager to find Master Feng, but no matter how anxious he was, he would not be in a hurry at this time. Seeing that the spirits of Nan Feng Zeyu and Jin Sheng were almost exhausted, he must not kill chickens to get eggs at this time.
"Okay, but at the order of the little gentleman." Since he is a companion traveling together, Qin Ye will not be stingy. As soon as he crossed the Haiyuan Forest, Qin Ye gave Jin Sheng a pot of drunkard wine. Now Jin Sheng has condensed into the power of the soul. Although it is very weak, it can only cover a little more than ten meters, but it is countless times stronger than the power of feeling. This kindness naturally makes Jin Sheng Xinyue was convinced and showed 120,000 points of loyalty along the way.
On the way, Nanfeng Zeyu can occasionally pick some elixirs to increase the soul. Although the strength of his soul today is still far from the realm of sensation, the intensity has increased a lot and can cover a range of 100 meters.
This growth is simply not worth mentioning for Qin Ye, but for Nanfeng Zeyu, it is a qualitative change, which can at least double his agility in battle. In fact, it is also very helpful for the improvement of combat effectiveness.
"Wait!"
When the three people just climbed to the waist of the yellow sand embankment, Qin Ye's expression suddenly condensed. He felt countless vitality rhythms and hid in the yellow sand embankment, and on the peak of the embankment.
"What's wrong?" The strength of Nanfeng Zeyu and Jin Sheng's soul was not enough for them to see the situation at the peak of the Huangsha embankment, but when they saw Qin Ye's solemn expression, they dared not take it lightly and asked one after another.
"Sand scorpions, many sand scorpions, are on the peak of this yellow sand embank, countless, as if all the sand scorpions in the whole Tagan Desert have come here." Qin Ye's soul power can now be released 500 miles away, and only one line can break through to the land of the contract. He released the power of the soul. On the yellow sand embankment 500 miles east and west, it was full of dense sand scorpions, just like an army waiting for the day.
"Grand Chief Jin, have you ever seen such a situation?" There are no less than 10 million dense sand scorpions, but Qin Ye doesn't care about these things. His soul power and spiritual fire can at least protect themselves from these sand scorpions, but Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu are difficult to do. If it is just a small number of sand scorpions, they still have the methods and ability to repel them, but tens of millions of sand Scorpions, even those who are strong in the realm of kings, are tired of dealing with it.
And the toxin of the sand scorpion is strong. With just a small drop, it is enough for another strong man in the cave realm to die. Together, tens of millions of sand scorpions are afraid that even the strong in the realm of the emperor will not avoid it.
Jin Sheng's face suddenly turned pale. On the way, he encountered the greatest danger in the Tagan Desert, and the most dangerous thing in the Tagan Desert was the sand scorpion, which was fast and powerful, which was simply impossible to prevent.
"Little sir, I have never been so far before. Naturally, I have never seen such a situation. In the demon hunting notes left by the predecessor demon hunters, I have never encountered a similar situation. The intelligence of sand scorpions is a relatively low category among spirit beasts, and they have never heard that they have the habit of living in groups, let alone such an organized gathering. Jin Sheng said solemnly.
Nanfeng Zeyu said, "I think we'd better exit first. At worst, we should walk a little more and find an exit from another place to cross the yellow sand embankment."
Qin Ye said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this is not realistic. I checked the yellow sand embanks 500 miles east and 500 miles west respectively, and they are all in the same situation. It is estimated that no matter how far away, there will not change much. Although this yellow sand embankment is long, only two thousand miles in the middle can enter the canyon of the Tumo people. What I'm worried about now is that the appearance of these sand scorpions is related to the Tumo people. In that case, no matter which direction we go, we can't avoid facing the sand scorpion in the end.
Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu looked very ugly. After trekking for two months, they were about to reach their destination, but they were trapped here, which was simply frustrating.
"Mr. Xiao is right. It is impossible for us to bypass the encirclement of sand scorpions. Since these poisonous guys have such a formation, it proves that their discomfort is accidental. Perhaps Mr. Xiao is very right in his analysis. Maybe the appearance of these sand scorpions is related to the Tumo people. Jin Sheng thought for a long time and really didn't think of a way to explain all this in front of him.
"Break through." After a long silence, Qin Ye made a decision and said, "The peak of the yellow sand embankment is almost 200 meters wide, and the sand scorpions are gathered within 200 meters, which is not on the sand wall on the other side of the yellow sand embankment, so as long as we safely walk through the width of 200 meters, we can turn bad luck."
Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu were silent, waiting for further instructions from Qin Ye.
"With a width of 200 meters, according to the strength of my original spirit fire, it is not difficult to protect you to pass through." Qin Ye said solemnly, "But that's all I can do to help you protect a large number of sand scorpion attacks, but there are too many sand scorpions on it, and it's hard not to keep some fish that leaking the net, so you must make sure that you are not attacked by sand scorpions. We don't have ready-made medicinal materials that can refine the antidote, and the toxin of the sand scorpion attacks very quickly, so whether we can break through depends on everyone's creation. Once we cross that peak, we will rush to the sand wall at the other end as fast as possible and jump straight down.
Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu are extremely dignified. This is indeed a gambling act. Once they are attacked by a large-scale sand scorpion group, no matter how high their cultivation is, they will not even be eaten by a continuous stream of sand scorpions.
However, the two have no fear in their hearts. Practice is originally a road to fight for their lives, full of danger. If they retreat in danger, it is difficult to have too profound cultivation in their lives.
The three people rushed to the Huangsha embankment at a very fast speed. Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu held Qin Ye on the left and right, and reached the peak of the Huangsha embankment in less than two minutes.
When the scene of the peak fell into sight, all three of them took a deep breath at the same time.
It was supposed to be a golden yellow sand, but at this time, there was no golden color at all. The eyes were full of black pressure, full of the fishy gas of sand scorpions, which was disgusting.
"I can't stay. I will immediately release my own spiritual fire. You are firmly around me. Remember, while defending against sand and scorpions, I can't let my spiritual fire touch you, otherwise you will die faster."
Qin Ye gave an order and immediately mobilized his thoughts. The faint blue spiritual fire rushed out of the body in an instant. After integrating the power of the five elements, the blue in the original spiritual fire had faded a lot. If it hadn't been for the faint spiritual fire, there would have been no faint blue at all.
When the dark blue spiritual fire wrapped the three people in the middle, Qin Ye shouted loudly, and the three rushed to the other sand wall like the wind.
Boom!
The sand scorpion suddenly found a foreign object appeared. Suddenly, it became restless. The dense sand scorpion rushed towards Qin Ye and the three people, and almost all of them were burned into powder by their own spiritual fire as quickly as possible. Occasionally, one or two fish that leaked into the net were also killed by Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu on the spot.
The short distance of 200 meters is just three or two breaths for Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu. When the three rushed out of the peak at the fastest speed, the sand scorpion behind them still swept over like a strong wind.
However, these sand scorpions seemed to be very afraid of the other end of the yellow sand embankment. As soon as they rushed out, they immediately climbed back as if they were running for their lives.
"Wow...it's finally thrilling!" Nanfeng Zeyu and Jin Sheng couldn't help but be happy. Although it was dangerous just now, when they got up from the yellow sand pile, they all looked relaxed.
"I'm afraid the most dangerous thing is yet to come!" Qin Ye was not relaxed at all. He stared straight at a depression in the oasis in front of him. Human-headed bubbles were emerging from the depression, as if there were creatures hidden under the depression.
Jin Sheng and Nanfeng Zeyu followed Qin Ye's eyes and looked at the depression, and their expressions changed for a moment. Although they didn't know what was in the depression, they could see from Qin Ye's expression that what was hidden in it was definitely not a good thing.
"Go, get out of here as fast as you can, can't stay, fast, fast, fast!" Qin Ye roared and immediately rushed out, and then Nanfeng Zeyu and Jin Sheng rushed out.
At the same time, there was a sudden roar in the depression, and then countless water columns rose to the sky, and a fierce roar came out of the depression, and the whole oasis began to turbulent.
