Rick had no transportation tools and could only walk deep into the sand thief's nest. He had to leave here immediately. Those corpses that had not yet been completely cold were delicious foods in the eyes of the sharp claw demons. They would not give up these corpses and would definitely come back.

Crystal salt is a good thing, but it was too heavy. Rick broke some and hid it on his body.

Weapons cannot be forgotten, but the crossbow is a contraband in any country. Rick sighed and gave up this familiar weapon and found two exquisite daggers from the corpse of the mercenary.

In addition to weapons and crystal salt, Rick also quickly flipped all the corpses around him.

He could not return to the border military camp. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to leave here and go to the Iron Stone City far away from the desert.

In addition to sending letters to Old Eiger, Rick also needs a safe place to start his new life well.

This time, he was carrying out a mission. With the bodies of the sand thieves and the border troops, Rick only found more than a dozen silver talkers, and the copper rope was struggling. At this time, Rick was seriously injured and had no choice but to take some with him.

More than ten minutes have passed, and Rick knew that the thieves must have their own savings, but they really don’t have time to find them, so they can only give up with hatred.

After all the money, weapons, food and water were prepared, Rick suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. His chest and ribs were only slightly cured when they transformed just now and could not move violently.

After reluctantly throwing away an exquisite dagger and reducing all the food and water sources, Rick quickly disappeared into the sand thief's nest under the night.

................

All night, plus a daytime, Rick finally reached his physical limit from the beginning, to the later jogging, and then to the later slow walking.

After walking a distance, Rick was about to stop and remove the gravel from his shoes.

The hot desert evaporated every trace of moisture in the air.

Rick covered the sun, looked at the endless desert, licked his dry lips, and forced himself to drink water, and continued to move forward.

Every step requires great effort. The heavier the pace, the easier it is to fall into the yellow sand. Because of this, it is very painful to walk on the desert without transportation tools.

The gravel was crowded on the newly ground blisters, and the soles of the feet were like a layer of pepper oil poured, which was so hot!

Wherever you see, there is no other color except rolling yellow sand.

Although he was relaxed, Rick's pace became heavier.

Although the injury did not affect his movement, he had not rested, and Rick could not hold on.

But he had to find a suitable place to rest, otherwise it would be no different from seeking death if he was exposed to the desert.

There were at least three water bags hanging on the clothes that were not very fit. However, under Rick's strong willpower, he used the water in one water bag in the early stage of his journey, and the other two water bags did not move at all.

It's a desert, and I don't know when I'll find water and food, Rick knows this more than anyone else.

In the evening, Rick's open water bag had been consumed. Rick warned himself that he could not waste it like this. But if he walked against the violent sun, Rick would not be able to rush to the road if he did not replenish water in time.

I was lucky, and finally found a piece of sandstone before the night was completely dark.

When he found the sandstone, Rick looked happy and ran to the vicinity of the sandstone and started looking for it.

After a while, a small shrub was found.

The shrub was lilac and grew in a mess near the sandstone.

Rick put down his luggage, took out his dagger, found the most lush shrub, and dug it hard.

The dagger dug a hole, but it was not fast, but after more than twenty minutes, it dug out the blocky rhizomes of the shrub.

Rick grinned, wiped the sweat, and happily slapped off the sand and soil on the rhizomes.

As soon as you enter the mouth, you will feel a spicy and crisp texture, with a faint earthy smell, and a lot of moisture will go down your throat as Rick chews.

This kind of shrub is called "water bag", which is a drought-tolerant plant in the desert, and its rhizomes have a lot of water and is edible. So the Satsuma people call it water bag, which means good things that can provide water and food.

There are not many "water bags" and they are not easy to carry, so the moisture will soon be lost. So after Rick ate half of it, he patted his bulging belly and lay down under the sandstone with satisfaction.

Close your eyes, the two abyss mantras in the depths of your mind are still dull, like dead objects that have lost their vitality.

Rick sighed lightly and had no choice but to withdraw from his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Abyss Mantra is the foundation for the advancement of the Abyss profession after Rick communicates with the Abyss will.

The mantra is divided into grades such as black iron, bronze, silver and gold.

Because the abyss is divided into seven layers, the mantra is condensed and "seven" is also used as a change.

Seven black iron mantras can be condensed into one bronze mantra. Seven bronze mantras can be condensed into seven silver mantras.

The better the quality and the more quantity the mantra is, the more powerful the spells and monster knowledge Rick has learned and the longer it lasts.

The skills and monster knowledge rewarded by the abyss will consume the abyss energy stored in the mantra, so how to add more mantras and condense higher-level mantras is the root cause of the efforts of the abyss wizard.

As an inaugural reward, Rick had several options at the time.

You can choose to major in spells, minor in curses, or major in curses, minor in spells...

According to the conversation between Rick and the mysterious voice, majoring in spells and minoring in curses is the best choice. Inrek will eventually integrate into human society and transform into an abyss monster. Although his power is strong, he will be chased by the justice camp.

But at that time, Rick really couldn't choose.

If you choose to major in spells and minor in curses, you will not be able to defeat the three coming claw demons, whether it is spells or curses.

So Rick had no choice but to major in monster knowledge and minor in spells.

Any choice has its disadvantages.

Although he lost the bonus of majoring spells, Rick also had a hidden identity and reduced the impact of the abyss spell on his body.

It is a good thing to gain recognition of the will of the abyss, but it is also a kind of chronic erosion.

Humans use abyss skills and condense the abyss mantra for a long time, and will definitely be affected if they are used for a long time.

So overall, Rick's choice is pretty good.
