Chapter 115: (1/2)
The sun is scorching, and the golden sand is like gold spreading over the ground, reflecting the rays of the sun and stinging people’s eyes.
A group of red crystal ants crawled out of the sand pit, like flames dotted on the golden sand.
"Hululu~~"
A long scream sounded, and the camel beast kicked all its hooves, as if trying to avoid the red crystal ants crawling out of the sandpit.
However, the speed of the red crystal ant was too fast, and it crawled in densely. Under the fright of the camel beast, it was about to run around with its buttocks, away from this danger.
Wen Qiao took the reins with one hand, sighed, and patted the camel beast's back, "Don't be afraid or not, look at me, I'll fix them later!"
Under her comfort, the camel beast finally calmed down, turned his head and stared at her with those wet black bean eyes, as if trusting her incomparably.
Wen Qiao did not live up to its trust. He spun from the back of the camel beast, beckoning with a long sword, and the long sword slashed at the group of red crystal ants that had already come to their feet.
The long sword lifted up a burst of sand and dust, and at the same time blocked the path of the red crystal ant.
The red crystal ant was accompanied by flying sand into the air, and then was cut in two by the long sword against the light, and the corpse ran across the ground.
After the camel beast found that the group of red crystal ants had been blocked, it did not continue to back up, and stood there quietly, with wet and drenched black bean eyes staring at the fighting figure ahead.
Ning Yuzhou sat on the back of the hump beast, condescendingly watching the battle below.
Wentutu and two topaz ants climbed on the head of the camel beast, and the pair of tentacles of the topaz moved around, as if feeling something.
Unlike the docile and harmless yellow crystal ants, each of the red crystal ants is as big as an adult's fist. They are warlike by nature and like to eat fresh flesh and blood. Monster beasts and cultivators are included in their recipes.
In the mobile desert, when monsters or cultivators are injured, they are most afraid of encountering groups of red crystal ants. This group of desert predators can smell the fresh blood hundreds of miles away, and then they form groups. The earth came and ate the injured people or monsters.
The red crystal ants have a strong teamwork ability, one by one, forming a giant ant to attack, even the cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm will be terrified. However, if you can disrupt their formation at the beginning and prevent them from uniting, it would be easier to deal with-provided that the number of the red crystal ants is not too large.
At this time, there were not many red crystal ants. Wen Qiao killed the red crystal ants while inspecting the bunker. When he found that no red crystal ants had crawled out, he knew that the number of red crystal ants in this nest was small.
The colony of Crimson ants they encountered after entering the desert was so large that tens of thousands of Crimson ants surrounded them, embarrassing the people of the Borai Caravan, so they almost missed the camp.
Wen Qiao's strength is so strong that with every sword he swings, he can split the Chijing Ant into two pieces.
In addition to using swords, Wen Qiao also used talisman to fight. Flame talisman, lightning talisman, explosive talisman and other talisman with great damage were thrown over, wounding those red crystal ants half-dead and losing their mobility.
After half an hour, Wen Qiao finally solved the nest of Chijing Ants.
The corpses of the red crystal ants are also a good material for refining. Wen Qiao picked up the corpses of those intact red crystal ants, stuffed them into a storage bag, and planned to buy them when they went to the next cultivation city.
As for those torn by fire and lightning, the value is greatly reduced, Wen Qiao did not pick them up, let them be swallowed by the wind and sand.
After solving the group of Chijing Ants blocking the way, Wen Qiao sat on the back of the camel beast again, patted the camel beast's neck, and let it continue to set off.
Ning Yuzhou took a veil, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said softly, "Aha has worked hard."
"It's okay, there are not many red crystal ants in this nest."
Wen Qiao said with a smile, took out the map from his arms and studied it carefully again.
Since leaving Shagu City, they have been wandering in the desert for a month.
This month, because they deviated from the route of the caravan map, they had to explore the desert by themselves. Although there was a map given by Senior Brother Chen, the mobile desert was too big, and the sand in the desert would flow by itself. It will cause them to deviate from the correct course and cause them a lot of trouble.
I heard that many travelers in the desert get lost in the desert like this.
The sun gradually slanted to the west, and the running pace of the camel beast became anxious.
As a monster beast that walks in the desert, the camel beast has a low level, but it also has a certain ability to perceive danger from nature. Whenever it is getting dark, if they fail to reach a safe cave, the camel beast will become anxious. Unfortunately, because the camel beast's temperament is too gentle, even if they are anxious, their performance is not obvious, so they are ignored by humans.
Wen Qiao didn't ignore it. She has a natural ability to perceive the emotions of animals and plants. Although the camel beast's intelligence is not high and cannot express her emotions clearly, Wen Qiao can know some of its emotions.
Wen Qiao patted the camel beast's neck to soothe, looking at the vast desert ahead, her heart was a little heavy.
She looked at the map again, and said solemnly: "Husband, we need to speed up."
Ning Yuzhou held her waist, still calmly and softly, "Well, don't be too eager."
How could Wen Qiao not be in a hurry, if they miss a cave where they can safely shelter, they will be swallowed by the sand and dust in the night, and they will become muddy, leaving no residue.
The sunset rays disappear little by little, and the wind grazes the ground, rolling up fine dust.
Seeing the darkness descend, but still did not find any cave nearby, Wen Qiao's heart sank bit by bit, frowning fiercely.
She stroked the stone golden python whip on her waist, thinking that if she missed the cave, she did not know the possibility of using the stone golden python vine to build a safe shelter underground.
The wind and sand rolled up behind them and turned into a terrifying monster, wanting to choose people to eat.
Ning Yuzhou held her shoulders, and suddenly said, "Ah, let's enter the space."
Wen Qiao was taken aback.
Before she could react, the two disappeared together with the camel beast and entered the space.
It happened that the wind and sand pounced behind them, covering the sky and the sun, and the world was plunged into darkness and sand waterfalls.
Suddenly changing the environment, the camel beast stayed, but after sensing that the danger had disappeared, it calmed down again and silently looked at the two humans.
Wen Qiao looked at the space and asked, "Will we be okay if we come in like this?"
Space can be regarded as a derivative of Ning Yuzhou's magical bloodline power. Where Ning Yuzhou is, it is there and cannot move by itself. They enter the space directly in the desert, which is equivalent to staying in the desert. Wen Qiao is worried that the power of the mobile desert at night will not hurt the space.
If something happens to space, Ning Yuzhou will also happen.
This is also the reason why Wen Qiao never thought of hiding in the space when encountering danger, she never thought of putting him in danger.
"It's okay." Ning Yuzhou was very calm. "The danger of the mobile desert is only for the creatures that appear in it. Space can isolate our breath, and the danger of the desert does not involve space."
